लूका 2
1 १ उन दिनों में औगुस्तुस कैसर की ओर से आज्ञा निकली, कि सारे रोमी साम्राज्य के लोगों के नाम लिखे जाएँ।
Now it came about in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus that there was to be a numbering of all the world.
This was the first numbering, which was made when Quirinius was ruler of Syria.
And all men went to be numbered, everyone to his town.
4 ४ अतः यूसुफ भी इसलिए कि वह दाऊद के घराने और वंश का था, गलील के नासरत नगर से यहूदिया में दाऊद के नगर बैतलहम को गया।
And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the town of Nazareth, into Judaea, to Beth-lehem, the town of David, because he was of the house and family of David,
To be put on the list with Mary, his future wife, who was about to become a mother.
And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.
7 ७ और वह अपना पहलौठा पुत्र जनी और उसे कपड़े में लपेटकर चरनी में रखा; क्योंकि उनके लिये सराय में जगह न थी।
And she had her first son; and folding him in linen, she put him to rest in the place where the cattle had their food, because there was no room for them in the house.
And in the same country there were keepers of sheep in the fields, watching over their flock by night.
9 ९ और परमेश्वर का एक दूत उनके पास आ खड़ा हुआ; और प्रभु का तेज उनके चारों ओर चमका, और वे बहुत डर गए।
And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord was shining round about them: and fear came on them.
10 १० तब स्वर्गदूत ने उनसे कहा, “मत डरो; क्योंकि देखो, मैं तुम्हें बड़े आनन्द का सुसमाचार सुनाता हूँ; जो सब लोगों के लिये होगा,
And the angel said, Have no fear; for truly, I give you good news of great joy which will be for all the people:
For on this day, in the town of David, a Saviour has come to birth, who is Christ the Lord.
12 १२ और इसका तुम्हारे लिये यह चिन्ह है, कि तुम एक बालक को कपड़े में लिपटा हुआ और चरनी में पड़ा पाओगे।”
And this is the sign to you: you will see a young child folded in linen, in the place where the cattle have their food.
13 १३ तब एकाएक उस स्वर्गदूत के साथ स्वर्गदूतों का दल परमेश्वर की स्तुति करते हुए और यह कहते दिखाई दिया,
And suddenly there was with the angel a great band of spirits from heaven, giving praise to God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on the earth peace among men with whom he is well pleased.
15 १५ जब स्वर्गदूत उनके पास से स्वर्ग को चले गए, तो गड़ेरियों ने आपस में कहा, “आओ, हम बैतलहम जाकर यह बात जो हुई है, और जिसे प्रभु ने हमें बताया है, देखें।”
And when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the keepers of the sheep said to one another, Let us go now to Beth-lehem, and see this thing which has come about, which the Lord has made clear to us.
And they came quickly, and saw Mary and Joseph, and the child in the place where the cattle had their food.
And when they saw it, they gave them an account of the things which had been said to them about the child.
And all those to whose ears it came were full of wonder at the things said by the keepers of the sheep.
But Mary kept all these words in her heart, and gave much thought to them.
20 २० और गड़ेरिये जैसा उनसे कहा गया था, वैसा ही सब सुनकर और देखकर परमेश्वर की महिमा और स्तुति करते हुए लौट गए।
Then the keepers of the sheep went back, giving glory and praise to God for all the things which had come to their ears and which they had seen, as it had been said to them.
21 २१ जब आठ दिन पूरे हुए, और उसके खतने का समय आया, तो उसका नाम यीशु रखा गया, यह नाम स्वर्गदूत द्वारा, उसके गर्भ में आने से पहले दिया गया था।
And when, after eight days, the time came for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name which the angel had given to him before his birth.
22 २२ और जब मूसा की व्यवस्था के अनुसार मरियम के शुद्ध होने के दिन पूरे हुए तो यूसुफ और मरियम उसे यरूशलेम में ले गए, कि प्रभु के सामने लाएँ।
And when the necessary days for making them clean by the law of Moses had come to an end, they took him to Jerusalem to give him to the Lord
(As it says in the law of the Lord, Every mother's first male child is to be holy to the Lord),
24 २४ और प्रभु की व्यवस्था के वचन के अनुसार, “पण्डुकों का एक जोड़ा, या कबूतर के दो बच्चे लाकर बलिदान करें।”
And to make an offering, as it is ordered in the law of the Lord, of two doves or other young birds.
25 २५ उस समय यरूशलेम में शमौन नामक एक मनुष्य था, और वह मनुष्य धर्मी और भक्त था; और इस्राएल की शान्ति की प्रतीक्षा कर रहा था, और पवित्र आत्मा उस पर था।
And there was then in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon; and he was an upright man, fearing God and waiting for the comfort of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was on him.
26 २६ और पवित्र आत्मा के द्वारा प्रकट हुआ, कि जब तक तू प्रभु के मसीह को देख न लेगा, तब तक मृत्यु को न देखेगा।
And he had knowledge, through the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death till he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 २७ और वह आत्मा के सिखाने से मन्दिर में आया; और जब माता-पिता उस बालक यीशु को भीतर लाए, कि उसके लिये व्यवस्था की रीति के अनुसार करें,
And full of the Spirit he came into the Temple; and when the father and mother came in with the child Jesus, to do with him what was ordered by the law,
Then he took him in his arms and gave praise to God and said,
Now you are letting your servant go in peace, O Lord, as you have said;
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
Which you have made ready before the face of all nations;
32 ३२ कि वह अन्यजातियों को सत्य प्रकट करने के लिए एक ज्योति होगा, और तेरे निज लोग इस्राएल की महिमा हो।”
A light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.
And his father and mother were full of wonder at the things which were said about him.
34 ३४ तब शमौन ने उनको आशीष देकर, उसकी माता मरियम से कहा, “देख, वह तो इस्राएल में बहुतों के गिरने, और उठने के लिये, और एक ऐसा चिन्ह होने के लिये ठहराया गया है, जिसके विरोध में बातें की जाएँगी
And Simeon gave them his blessing and said to Mary, his mother, See, this child will be the cause of the downfall and the lifting up of great numbers of people in Israel, and he will be a sign against which hard words will be said;
(And a sword will go through your heart; ) so that the secret thoughts of men may come to light.
36 ३६ और आशेर के गोत्र में से हन्नाह नामक फनूएल की बेटी एक भविष्यद्वक्तिन थी: वह बहुत बूढ़ी थी, और विवाह होने के बाद सात वर्ष अपने पति के साथ रह पाई थी।
And there was one, Anna, a woman prophet, the daughter of Phanuel, of the family of Asher (she was very old, and after seven years of married life
37 ३७ वह चौरासी वर्ष की विधवा थी: और मन्दिर को नहीं छोड़ती थी पर उपवास और प्रार्थना कर करके रात-दिन उपासना किया करती थी।
She had been a widow for eighty-four years); she was in the Temple at all times, worshipping with prayers and going without food, night and day.
38 ३८ और वह उस घड़ी वहाँ आकर परमेश्वर का धन्यवाद करने लगी, और उन सभी से, जो यरूशलेम के छुटकारे की प्रतीक्षा कर रहे थे, उसके विषय में बातें करने लगी।
And coming up at that time, she gave praise to God, talking of him to all those who were waiting for the freeing of Jerusalem.
39 ३९ और जब वे प्रभु की व्यवस्था के अनुसार सब कुछ निपटा चुके तो गलील में अपने नगर नासरत को फिर चले गए।
And when they had done all the things which were ordered by the law of the Lord, they went back to Galilee, to Nazareth, the town where they were living.
40 ४० और बालक बढ़ता, और बलवन्त होता, और बुद्धि से परिपूर्ण होता गया; और परमेश्वर का अनुग्रह उस पर था।
And the child became tall and strong and full of wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.
And every year his father and mother went to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up, as their way was, to the feast;
43 ४३ और जब वे उन दिनों को पूरा करके लौटने लगे, तो वह बालक यीशु यरूशलेम में रह गया; और यह उसके माता-पिता नहीं जानते थे।
And when the days of the feast came to an end and they were going back, the boy Jesus was still in Jerusalem, but they had no knowledge of it:
44 ४४ वे यह समझकर, कि वह और यात्रियों के साथ होगा, एक दिन का पड़ाव निकल गए: और उसे अपने कुटुम्बियों और जान-पहचानवालों में ढूँढ़ने लगे।
And in the belief that he was with some of their number, they went a day's journey; and after looking for him among their relations and friends,
And seeing that he was not there, they went back to Jerusalem, to make search for him.
46 ४६ और तीन दिन के बाद उन्होंने उसे मन्दिर में उपदेशकों के बीच में बैठे, उनकी सुनते और उनसे प्रश्न करते हुए पाया।
And after three days they came across him in the Temple, seated among the wise men, giving ear to their words and putting questions to them.
And all to whose ears it came were full of wonder at his knowledge and the answers which he gave.
48 ४८ तब वे उसे देखकर चकित हुए और उसकी माता ने उससे कहा, “हे पुत्र, तूने हम से क्यों ऐसा व्यवहार किया? देख, तेरा पिता और मैं कुढ़ते हुए तुझे ढूँढ़ते थे।”
And when they saw him they were surprised, and his mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? see, your father and I have been looking for you with sorrow.
49 ४९ उसने उनसे कहा, “तुम मुझे क्यों ढूँढ़ते थे? क्या नहीं जानते थे, कि मुझे अपने पिता के भवन मेंहोना अवश्य है?”
And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house?
And his words seemed strange to them.
51 ५१ तब वह उनके साथ गया, और नासरत में आया, और उनके वश में रहा; और उसकी माता ने ये सब बातें अपने मन में रखीं।
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth; and did as he was ordered: and his mother kept all these words in her heart.
And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men.
