ಲೂಕನು 1
1 ೧ ಸನ್ಮಾನ್ಯನಾದ ಥೆಯೊಫಿಲನೇ, ನಮ್ಮ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ನೆರವೇರಿರುವ ಘಟನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕ್ರಮವಾಗಿ ಬರೆಯುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಅನೇಕರು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
Since, indeed, many have attempted to set in order a narrative of the things that have been completed among us,
just as they have been handed on to those of us who from the beginning saw the same and were ministers of the word,
3 ೩ ನಾನು ಅಮೂಲಾಗ್ರವಾಗಿ ವಿಚಾರಿಸಿದ ಅವೆಲ್ಲವನ್ನು ನಿನಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಕ್ರಮಬದ್ಧವಾಗಿ ಬರೆಯುವುದು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದೆಂದು ನನಗೂ ತೋಚಿತು.
so it seemed good to me also, having diligently followed everything from the beginning, to write to you, in an orderly manner, most excellent Theophilus,
so that you might know the truthfulness of those words by which you have been instructed.
5 ೫ ಯೂದಾಯದ ಅರಸನಾದ ಹೆರೋದನ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಬೀಯನ ಯಾಜಕೀಯ ವರ್ಗಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರಿದ ಜಕರೀಯನೆಂಬ ಒಬ್ಬ ಯಾಜಕನಿದ್ದನು. ಅವನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯು ಆರೋನನ ವಂಶದವಳಾಗಿದ್ದಳು. ಆಕೆಯ ಹೆಸರು ಎಲಿಸಬೇತ್.
There was, in the days of Herod, king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the section of Abijah, and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 ೬ ಅವರಿಬ್ಬರೂ ಕರ್ತನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಆಜ್ಞೆಗಳನ್ನೂ, ನೇಮನಿಷ್ಠೆಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೈಕೊಂಡು ತಪ್ಪಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾ ದೇವರ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನೀತಿವಂತರಾಗಿದ್ದರು.
Now they were both just before God, progressing in all of the commandments and the justifications of the Lord without blame.
And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both had become advanced in years.
Then it happened that, when he was exercising the priesthood before God, in the order of his section,
according to the custom of the priesthood, the lot fell so that he would offer incense, entering into the temple of the Lord.
And the entire multitude of the people was praying outside, at the hour of incense.
Then there appeared to him an Angel of the Lord, standing at the right of the altar of incense.
And upon seeing him, Zechariah was disturbed, and fear fell over him.
13 ೧೩ ಆದರೆ ಆ ದೂತನು ಅವನಿಗೆ, “ಜಕರೀಯನೇ, ಭಯಪಡಬೇಡ; ದೇವರು ನಿನ್ನ ವಿಜ್ಞಾಪನೆ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದಾನೆ; ನಿನ್ನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯಾದ ಎಲಿಸಬೇತಳು ನಿನಗೆ ಒಬ್ಬ ಮಗನನ್ನು ಹೆರುವಳು. ನೀನು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಯೋಹಾನನೆಂದು ಹೆಸರಿಡಬೇಕು.
But the Angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear a son to you. And you shall call his name John.
And there will be joy and exultation for you, and many will rejoice in his nativity.
15 ೧೫ ಅವನು ಕರ್ತನ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಹಾಪುರುಷನಾಗಿರುವನು; ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷಾರಸವನ್ನಾಗಲಿ, ಯಾವ ಮದ್ಯವನ್ನಾಗಲಿ ಕುಡಿಯಬಾರದು; ಅವನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿದಂದಿನಿಂದಲೇ ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮಭರಿತನಾಗಿರುವನು.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
And he will convert many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
17 ೧೭ ಅವನು ಎಲೀಯನ ಗುಣಶಕ್ತಿಗಳಿಂದ ಕೂಡಿದವನಾಗಿ ಕರ್ತನ ಮುಂದೂತನಾಗಿ ಹೋಗುವನು. ತಂದೆಗಳ ಹೃದಯವನ್ನು ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಕಡೆಗೂ, ಅವಿಧೇಯರನ್ನು ನೀತಿವಂತರ ಜ್ಞಾನದ ಕಡೆಗೂ ತಿರುಗಿಸಿ, ಕರ್ತನಿಗಾಗಿ ಜನರನ್ನು ಸಿದ್ಧಪಡಿಸುವನು” ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
And he will go before him with the spirit and power of Elijah, so that he may turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the incredulous to the prudence of the just, so as to prepare for the Lord a completed people.”
18 ೧೮ ಜಕರೀಯನು ಆ ದೂತನಿಗೆ, “ಈ ಮಾತು ನೆರವೇರುವುದೆಂದು ನಾನು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದಾದರೂ ಹೇಗೆ? ನಾನು ಮುದುಕನು; ನನ್ನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಗೂ ಮುಪ್ಪಿನ ವಯಸ್ಸು” ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
And Zechariah said to the Angel: “How may I know this? For I am elderly, and my wife is advanced in years.”
19 ೧೯ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಆ ದೂತನು, “ನಾನು ದೇವರ ಸನ್ನಿಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಲ್ಲುವ ಗಬ್ರಿಯೇಲನು; ನಿನ್ನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡಿ ಈ ಶುಭವಾರ್ತೆಯನ್ನು ನಿನಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸುವುದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ನಾನು ಕಳುಹಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
And in response, the Angel said to him: “I am Gabriel, who stands before God, and I have been sent to speak to you, and to proclaim these things to you.
20 ೨೦ ಇಗೋ, ಈ ನನ್ನ ಮಾತು ತಕ್ಕ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನೆರವೇರುವುದು; ಆದರೆ ನೀನು ಇದನ್ನು ನಂಬದೆಹೋದುದರಿಂದ ಅದೆಲ್ಲಾ ಸಂಭವಿಸುವ ದಿನದ ವರೆಗೂ ಮಾತನಾಡಲಾರದೆ ಮೂಕನಾಗಿರುವೆ” ಎಂದು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತರಕೊಟ್ಟನು.
And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak, until the day on which these things shall be, because you have not believed my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”
And the people were waiting for Zechariah. And they wondered why he was being delayed in the temple.
22 ೨೨ ಅವನು ಹೊರಗೆ ಬಂದಾಗ ಅವರ ಕೂಡ ಏನೂ ಮಾತನಾಡಲಾರದೆ ಇರಲು ಅವರು, ಇವನಿಗೆ ದೇವಾಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಏನೋ ದಿವ್ಯ ದರ್ಶನವಾಗಿರಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಂಡರು. ಜಕರೀಯನು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಕೈಸನ್ನೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾ ಮೂಕನಾಗಿಯೇ ಇದ್ದನು.
Then, when he came out, he was unable to speak to them. And they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, but he remained mute.
And it happened that, after the days of his office were completed, he went away to his house.
Then, after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she hid herself for five months, saying:
25 ೨೫ “ಕರ್ತನು ಈ ವಯಸ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಟಾಕ್ಷಿಸಿ, ನನಗೆ ಈ ರೀತಿಯಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿ, ಜನರ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನನಗಿದ್ದ ಅವಮಾನವನ್ನು ಪರಿಹರಿಸಿದ್ದಾನಲ್ಲಾ” ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದಳು.
“For the Lord did this for me, at the time when he decided to take away my reproach among men.”
26 ೨೬ ಎಲಿಸಬೇತಳು ಗರ್ಭಿಣಿಯಾದ ಆರನೆಯ ತಿಂಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ದೇವರು ಗಬ್ರಿಯೇಲನೆಂಬ ತನ್ನ ದೂತನನ್ನು ಗಲಿಲಾಯ ಸೀಮೆಯ, ನಜರೇತೆಂಬ ಊರಿಗೆ, ಒಬ್ಬ ಕನ್ನಿಕೆಯ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದನು;
Then, in the sixth month, the Angel Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
And upon entering, the Angel said to her: “Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.”
And when she had heard this, she was disturbed by his words, and she considered what kind of greeting this might be.
And the Angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God.
Behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and you shall bear a son, and you shall call his name: JESUS.
32 ೩೨ ಆತನು ಮಹಾಪುರುಷನಾಗುವನು, ಪರಾತ್ಪರನಾದ ದೇವರ ಕುಮಾರನೆಂದು ಕರೆಯಲ್ಪಡುವನು; ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ದೇವರಾಗಿರುವ ಕರ್ತನು ಆತನ ಮೂಲಪಿತನಾದ ದಾವೀದನ ಸಿಂಹಾಸನವನ್ನು ಆತನಿಗೆ ಕೊಡುವನು.
He will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father.
And he will reign in the house of Jacob for eternity. And his kingdom shall have no end.” (aiōn g165)
Then Mary said to the Angel, “How shall this be done, since I do not know man?”
35 ೩೫ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ದೂತನು, “ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮನು ನಿನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಬರುವನು; ಪರಾತ್ಪರನಾದ ದೇವರ ಶಕ್ತಿಯು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಅವರಿಸುವುದು; ಆದುದರಿಂದ ನಿನಗೆ ಹುಟ್ಟುವ ಆ ಪವಿತ್ರ ಶಿಶು ದೇವರ ಮಗನೆನಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವನು.
And in response, the Angel said to her: “The Holy Spirit will pass over you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. And because of this also, the Holy One who will be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
36 ೩೬ ಇಗೋ, ನಿನ್ನ ಬಂಧುವಾದ ಎಲಿಸಬೇತಳಿದ್ದಾಳಲ್ಲಾ, ಆಕೆ ಸಹ ಮುಪ್ಪಿನವಳಾದರೂ ಗರ್ಭಿಣಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದಾಳೆ; ಆಕೆಯ ಗರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಗಂಡು ಮಗುವಿದೆ; ಬಂಜೆಯೆನಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದ ಆಕೆಗೆ ಈಗ ಆರನೆಯ ತಿಂಗಳು.
And behold, your cousin Elizabeth has herself also conceived a son, in her old age. And this is the sixth month for her who is called barren.
For no word will be impossible with God.”
38 ೩೮ ಆಗ ಮರಿಯಳು “ಇಗೋ, ನಾನು ಕರ್ತನ ದಾಸಿ; ನಿನ್ನ ಮಾತಿನಂತೆ ನನಗಾಗಲಿ” ಅಂದಳು. ಆ ಮೇಲೆ ಆ ದೂತನು ಆಕೆಯ ಬಳಿಯಿಂದ ಹೊರಟುಹೋದನು.
Then Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her.
And in those days, Mary, rising up, traveled quickly into the hill country, to a city of Judah.
And she entered into the house of Zechariah, and she greeted Elizabeth.
41 ೪೧ ಎಲಿಸಬೇತಳು ಮರಿಯಳ ವಂದನೆಯನ್ನು ಕೇಳುತ್ತಲೇ ಆಕೆಯ ಗರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಕೂಸು ಕುಣಿದಾಡಿತು ಮತ್ತು ಎಲಿಸಬೇತಳು ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮಭರಿತಳಾದಳು.
And it happened that, as Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 ೪೨ ಆಗ ಆಕೆಯು ಮಹಾಧ್ವನಿಯಿಂದ ಕೂಗಿ, “ನೀನು ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯರೊಳಗೆ ಧನ್ಯಳು, ಮತ್ತು ನಿನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಟ್ಟುವ ಕೂಸು ಆಶೀರ್ವಾದ ಹೊಂದಿದ್ದು.
And she cried out with a loud voice and said: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this concern me, so that the mother of my Lord would come to me?
For behold, as the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
And blessed are you who believed, for the things that were spoken to you by the Lord shall be accomplished.”
And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord.
And my spirit leaps for joy in God my Savior.
48 ೪೮ ಆತನು ತನ್ನ ದಾಸಿಯ ದೀನಸ್ಥಿತಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯವಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಇಗೋ, ಇಂದಿನಿಂದ ತಲತಲಾಂತರದವರೆಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಧನ್ಯಳೆಂದು ಹೊಗಳುವರು,
For he has looked with favor on the humility of his handmaid. For behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed.
For he who is great has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
And his mercy is from generation to generations for those who fear him.
He has accomplished powerful deeds with his arm. He has scattered the arrogant in the intentions of their heart.
He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
54 ೫೪ ಆತನು ನಮ್ಮ ಪೂರ್ವಿಕರಿಗೆ ವಾಗ್ದಾನ ಮಾಡಿದಂತೆ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನಿಗೂ ಅವನ ವಂಶದವರಿಗೂ ಯಾವಾಗಲೂ ದಯೆ ತೋರಿಸಬೇಕೆಂಬುದನ್ನು ನೆನಪಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು, ತನ್ನ ಸೇವಕನಾದ ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲನಿಗೆ ನೆರವಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ” ಎಂದಳು. (aiōn g165)
He has taken up his servant Israel, mindful of his mercy,
Then Mary stayed with her for about three months. And she returned to her own house.
Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth arrived, and she brought forth a son.
58 ೫೮ ಆಕೆಯ ನೆರೆಹೊರೆಯವರೂ ಬಂಧುಬಾಂಧವರೂ ಆಕೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಕರ್ತನು ತನ್ನ ವಿಶೇಷ ದಯೆಯನ್ನು ತೋರಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆಂಬುದನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ ಆಕೆಯ ಸಂಗಡ ಸಂತೋಷಪಟ್ಟರು.
And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and so they congratulated her.
59 ೫೯ ಎಂಟನೆಯ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರು ಆ ಮಗುವಿಗೆ ಸುನ್ನತಿಮಾಡುವುದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಬಂದು ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಜಕರೀಯನೆಂದು ತಂದೆಯ ಹೆಸರನ್ನು ಇಡಬೇಕೆಂದಿದ್ದರು.
And it happened that, on the eighth day, they arrived to circumcise the boy, and they called him by his father’s name, Zechariah.
And in response, his mother said: “Not so. Instead, he shall be called John.”
And they said to her, “But there is no one among your relatives who is called by that name.”
Then they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him to be called.
And requesting a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: “His name is John.” And they all wondered.
Then, at once, his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosened, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 ೬೫ ಇದನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದ ನೆರೆಹೊರೆಯವರಿಗೆಲ್ಲಾ ಹೆದರಿಕೆಯುಂಟಾಯಿತು ಮತ್ತು ಈ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸಂಗತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕುರಿತು ಯೂದಾಯದ ಮಲೆನಾಡಿನಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲಾ ಮಾತನಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು.
And fear fell upon all of their neighbors. And all these words were made known throughout all the hill country of Judea.
66 ೬೬ ಈ ಸಂಗತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದವರೆಲ್ಲರೂ, “ಆಹಾ, ಈ ಕೂಸು ಎಂಥವನಾಗುವನೋ?” ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡರು, ಆದರೆ ಕರ್ತನ ಅಭಯ ಹಸ್ತವು ಅವನ ಮೇಲೆ ಇತ್ತು.
And all those who heard it stored it up in their heart, saying: “What do you think this boy will be?” And indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him.
And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit. And he prophesied, saying:
68 ೬೮ “ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲರ ದೇವರಾಗಿರುವ ಕರ್ತನಿಗೆ ಸ್ತೋತ್ರವು; ತನ್ನ ಪ್ರಜೆಯನ್ನು ಸಂಧಿಸಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಯನ್ನುಂಟುಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ;
“Blessed is the Lord God of Israel. For he has visited and has wrought the redemption of his people.
And he has raised up a horn of salvation for us, in the house of David his servant,
just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets, who are from ages past: (aiōn g165)
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all those who hate us,
72 ೭೨ ಆತನು ನಮ್ಮ ಪೂರ್ವಿಕರಿಗೆ ದಯೆಯನ್ನು ತೋರಿಸುವುದರ ಮೂಲಕ ನಮ್ಮ ಮೂಲಪಿತೃವಾದ ಅಬ್ರಹಾಮನಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಮಾಣಮಾಡಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟ ತನ್ನ ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧವಾದ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ನೆನಪಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವವನಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
to accomplish mercy with our fathers, and to call to mind his holy testament,
73 ೭೩
the oath, which he swore to Abraham, our father, that he would grant to us,
74 ೭೪ ಹೀಗೆ ನಾವು ನಮ್ಮ ವೈರಿಗಳ ಕೈಯಿಂದ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಹೊಂದಿ ಭಯವಿಲ್ಲದವರಾಗಿದ್ದು, ನಮ್ಮ ಜೀವಮಾನದಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲಾ ನಿರ್ಮಲಚಿತ್ತದಿಂದಲೂ ನೀತಿಯಿಂದಲೂ ತನ್ನ ಸನ್ನಿಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇವೆಮಾಡುವಂತೆ ನಮಗೆ ಅನುಕೂಲಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
so that, having been freed from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
75 ೭೫
in holiness and in justice before him, throughout all our days.
76 ೭೬ ಮಗುವೇ, ನೀನಾದರೋ ಪರಾತ್ಪರನಾದ ದೇವರ ಪ್ರವಾದಿಯೆನಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವಿ. ನೀನು ಕರ್ತನ ಮುಂದೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಆತನ ಹಾದಿಗಳನ್ನು ಸಿದ್ಧಮಾಡುವವನಾಗಿಯೂ,
And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High. For you will go before the face of the Lord: to prepare his ways,
77 ೭೭ ನಮ್ಮ ದೇವರು ಅತ್ಯಂತಕರುಣೆಯಿಂದ ದಯಪಾಲಿಸುವ ಪಾಪಕ್ಷಮೆಯೆಂಬ ರಕ್ಷಣೆಯ ತಿಳಿವಳಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಆತನ ಪ್ರಜೆಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿಕೊಡುವವನಾಗಿಯೂ ಇರುವಿ. ಆ ಕರುಣೆಯಿಂದಲೇ ನಮಗೆ ಮೇಲಿನಿಂದ ಅರುಣೋದಯವು ಉಂಟಾಗಿ,
to give knowledge of salvation to his people for the remission of their sins,
78 ೭೮
through the heart of the mercy of our God, by which, descending from on high, he has visited us,
79 ೭೯ ಅದು ಕತ್ತಲಲ್ಲಿಯೂ, ಮರಣಾಂಧಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ವಾಸಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ನಮಗೆ ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟು ನಮ್ಮ ಕಾಲುಗಳನ್ನು ಸಮಾಧಾನದ ಮಾರ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿಸಿ ನಡಿಸುವುದು.”
to illuminate those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to direct our feet in the way of peace.”
80 ೮೦ ಆ ಬಾಲಕನು ಬೆಳೆದು ಆತ್ಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಲವುಳ್ಳವನಾದನು. ಮತ್ತು ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲ್ ಜನರಿಗೆ ತನ್ನನ್ನು ತೋರ್ಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ದಿನದವರೆಗೂ ಮರುಭೂಮಿಯ ಪ್ರದೇಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದನು.
And the child grew, and he was strengthened in spirit. And he was in the wilderness, until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
