It was the time when Caesar Augustus issued a decree that there should be a census of everyone in the Roman Empire.
| تَدَنُسارینَ کُرِینِیَنامَنِ سُرِیادیشَسْیَ شاسَکے سَتِ نامَلیکھَنَں پْراریبھے۔ | 2 |
This was the first census under governor Quirinius of Syria.
| اَتو ہیتو رْنامَ لیکھِتُں سَرْوّے جَناح سْوِییَں سْوِییَں نَگَرَں جَگْمُح۔ | 3 |
So everybody went to their own city to be registered.
| تَدانِیں یُوشَپھْ نامَ لیکھِتُں واگْدَتَّیا سْوَبھارْیَّیا گَرْبّھَوَتْیا مَرِیَما سَہَ سْوَیَں دایُودَح سَجاتِوَںشَ اِتِ کارَنادْ گالِیلْپْرَدیشَسْیَ ناسَرَتْنَگَرادْ | 4 |
Joseph was descended from King David, so he left Nazareth in Galilee to go to Bethlehem, the city of David, in Judea.
| یِہُوداپْرَدیشَسْیَ بَیتْلیہَماکھْیَں دایُودْنَگَرَں جَگامَ۔ | 5 |
He went to register there, together with Mary, who was pledged in marriage to him and expecting a baby.
| اَنْیَچَّ تَتْرَ سْتھانے تَیوسْتِشْٹھَتوح سَتو رْمَرِیَمَح پْرَسُوتِکالَ اُپَسْتھِتی | 6 |
While they were there, the time came for her to have her baby.
| سا تَں پْرَتھَمَسُتَں پْراسوشْٹَ کِنْتُ تَسْمِنْ واسَگرِہے سْتھانابھاوادْ بالَکَں وَسْتْرینَ ویشْٹَیِتْوا گوشالایاں سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔ | 7 |
She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him up in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger because the inn had no rooms left.
| اَنَنْتَرَں یے کِیَنْتو میشَپالَکاح سْوَمیشَوْرَجَرَکْشایَے تَتْپْرَدیشے سْتھِتْوا رَجَنْیاں پْرانْتَرے پْرَہَرِنَح کَرْمَّ کُرْوَّنْتِ، | 8 |
Nearby some shepherds were spending the night out in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks.
| تیشاں سَمِیپَں پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دُوتَ آگَتْیوپَتَسْتھَو؛ تَدا چَتُشْپارْشْوے پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ تیجَسَح پْرَکاشِتَتْواتْ تےتِشَشَنْکِرے۔ | 9 |
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone all around them. They were scared out of their wits!
| تَدا سَ دُوتَ اُواچَ ما بھَیشْٹَ پَشْیَتادْیَ دایُودَح پُرے یُشْمَنِّمِتَّں تْراتا پْرَبھُح کھْرِیشْٹوجَنِشْٹَ، | 10 |
“Don't be afraid!” the angel told them. “I'm here to bring you good news that will make the all the people really glad.
| سَرْوّیشاں لوکاناں مَہانَنْدَجَنَکَمْ اِمَں مَنْگَلَورِتّانْتَں یُشْمانْ جْناپَیامِ۔ | 11 |
The Savior has been born to you today, here in David's city. He is the Messiah, the Lord.
| یُویَں (تَتْسْتھانَں گَتْوا) وَسْتْرَویشْٹِتَں تَں بالَکَں گوشالایاں شَیَنَں دْرَکْشْیَتھَ یُشْمانْ پْرَتِیدَں چِہْنَں بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 12 |
You will recognize him by this sign: you will find the child wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
| دُوتَ اِماں کَتھاں کَتھِتَوَتِ تَتْراکَسْماتْ سْوَرْگِییاح پرِتَنا آگَتْیَ کَتھامْ اِماں کَتھَیِتْویشْوَرَسْیَ گُنانَنْوَوادِشُح، یَتھا، | 13 |
Suddenly many heavenly beings appeared, praising God, saying,
| سَرْوّورْدْوَّسْتھَیرِیشْوَرَسْیَ مَہِما سَمْپْرَکاشْیَتاں۔ شانْتِرْبھُویاتْ پرِتھِوْیاسْتُ سَنْتوشَشْچَ نَرانْ پْرَتِ۔۔ | 14 |
“Glory to the God of heaven, and on earth peace to those who please him!”
| تَتَح پَرَں تیشاں سَنِّدھے رْدُوتَگَنے سْوَرْگَں گَتے میشَپالَکاح پَرَسْپَرَمْ اَویچَنْ آگَچّھَتَ پْرَبھُح پَرَمیشْوَرو یاں گھَٹَناں جْناپِتَوانْ تَسْیا یاتھَرْیَں جْناتُں وَیَمَدھُنا بَیتْلیہَمْپُرَں یامَح۔ | 15 |
After the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go to Bethlehem and see what's happened concerning these things the Lord has told us about.”
| پَشْچاتْ تے تُورْنَں وْرَجِتْوا مَرِیَمَں یُوشَپھَں گوشالایاں شَیَنَں بالَکَنْچَ دَدرِشُح۔ | 16 |
They hurried there and found Mary, Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
| اِتّھَں درِشْٹْوا بالَکَسْیارْتھے پْروکْتاں سَرْوَّکَتھاں تے پْراچارَیانْچَکْرُح۔ | 17 |
After they'd seen for themselves, they spread the news of what had happened and what they had been told about this baby.
| تَتو یے لوکا میشَرَکْشَکاناں وَدَنیبھْیَسْتاں وارْتّاں شُشْرُوُسْتے مَہاشْچَرْیَّں مینِرے۔ | 18 |
All those who heard about it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.
| کِنْتُ مَرِیَمْ ایتَتْسَرْوَّگھَٹَناناں تاتْپَرْیَّں وِوِچْیَ مَنَسِ سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔ | 19 |
But Mary was careful to remember all the things that had happened and often thought about them.
| تَتْپَشْچادْ دُوتَوِجْنَپْتانُرُوپَں شْرُتْوا درِشْٹْوا چَ میشَپالَکا اِیشْوَرَسْیَ گُنانُوادَں دھَنْیَوادَنْچَ کُرْوّاناح پَراورِتْیَ یَیُح۔ | 20 |
The shepherds went back to watching their flocks, glorifying and thanking God for all that they'd heard and seen, for it was just as they'd been told.
| اَتھَ بالَکَسْیَ تْوَکْچھیدَنَکالےشْٹَمَدِوَسے سَمُپَسْتھِتے تَسْیَ گَرْبّھَسْتھِتیح پُرْوَّں سْوَرْگِییَدُوتو یَتھاجْناپَیَتْ تَدَنُرُوپَں تے تَنّامَدھییَں یِیشُرِتِ چَکْرِرے۔ | 21 |
After eight days, the time came for the baby to be circumcised, and he was named Jesus. This was the name given to him by the angel before he had even been conceived.
| تَتَح پَرَں مُوسالِکھِتَوْیَوَسْتھایا اَنُسارینَ مَرِیَمَح شُچِتْوَکالَ اُپَسْتھِتے، | 22 |
When the time of their purification according to the law of Moses was finished, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
| "پْرَتھَمَجَح سَرْوَّح پُرُشَسَنْتانَح پَرَمیشْوَرے سَمَرْپْیَتاں،" اِتِ پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ وْیَوَسْتھَیا | 23 |
as the law of the Lord states, “Every firstborn son must be dedicated to the Lord.”
| یِیشُں پَرَمیشْوَرے سَمَرْپَیِتُمْ شاسْتْرِییَوِدھْیُکْتَں کَپوتَدْوَیَں پاراوَتَشاوَکَدْوَیَں وا بَلِں داتُں تے تَں گرِہِیتْوا یِرُوشالَمَمْ آیَیُح۔ | 24 |
There they made a sacrifice, as God's law also states, of “a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons.”
| یِرُوشالَمْپُرَنِواسِی شِمِیونّاما دھارْمِّکَ ایکَ آسِیتْ سَ اِسْراییلَح سانْتْوَنامَپیکْشْیَ تَسْتھَو کِنْچَ پَوِتْرَ آتْما تَسْمِنّاوِرْبھُوتَح۔ | 25 |
Living in Jerusalem at that time was a man called Simeon. Simeon did what was good and was very devout. He was waiting expectantly for the hope of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
| اَپَرَں پْرَبھُنا پَرَمیشْوَرینابھِشِکْتے تْراتَرِ تْوَیا نَ درِشْٹے تْوَں نَ مَرِشْیَسِیتِ واکْیَں پَوِتْرینَ آتْمَنا تَسْمَ پْراکَتھْیَتَ۔ | 26 |
The Holy Spirit had shown him that he would not die before he saw the Lord's Messiah.
| اَپَرَنْچَ یَدا یِیشوح پِتا ماتا چَ تَدَرْتھَں وْیَوَسْتھانُرُوپَں کَرْمَّ کَرْتُّں تَں مَنْدِرَمْ آنِنْیَتُسْتَدا | 27 |
Following the Spirit's leading, he went to the Temple. When Jesus' parents brought in the little boy to be dedicated as required by the Law,
| شِمِیونْ آتْمَنَ آکَرْشَنینَ مَنْدِرَماگَتْیَ تَں کْروڈے نِدھایَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ دھَنْیَوادَں کرِتْوا کَتھَیاماسَ، یَتھا، | 28 |
Simeon took Jesus in his arms, thanked God, and said,
| ہے پْرَبھو تَوَ داسویَں نِجَواکْیانُسارَتَح۔ اِدانِینْتُ سَکَلْیانو بھَوَتا سَںوِسرِجْیَتامْ۔ | 29 |
“Lord and Master, now you can let your servant die in peace as you promised,
| یَتَح سَکَلَدیشَسْیَ دِیپْتَیے دِیپْتِرُوپَکَں۔ | 30 |
because I have seen for myself your salvation
| اِسْراییلِییَلوکَسْیَ مَہاگَورَوَرُوپَکَں۔ | 31 |
which you have prepared for everyone.
| یَں تْرایَکَں جَنانانْتُ سَمُّکھے تْوَمَجِیجَنَح۔ سَایوَ وِدْیَتےسْماکَں دھْرَوَں نَیَنَنَگوچَرے۔۔ | 32 |
He is a light that will show you to the nations, the glory of your people Israel.”
| تَدانِیں تینوکْتا ایتاح سَکَلاح کَتھاح شْرُتْوا تَسْیَ ماتا یُوشَپھْ چَ وِسْمَیَں میناتے۔ | 33 |
Jesus' father and mother were shocked at what Simeon said about him.
| تَتَح پَرَں شِمِیونْ تیبھْیَ آشِشَں دَتّوا تَنْماتَرَں مَرِیَمَمْ اُواچَ، پَشْیَ اِسْراییلو وَںشَمَدھْیے بَہُوناں پاتَنایوتّھاپَنایَ چَ تَتھا وِرودھَپاتْرَں بھَوِتُں، بَہُوناں گُپْتَمَنوگَتاناں پْرَکَٹِیکَرَنایَ بالَکویَں نِیُکْتوسْتِ۔ | 34 |
Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Jesus' mother Mary, “This child is destined to cause many in Israel to fall and many to rise. He is a sign from God that many will reject,
| تَسْماتْ تَواپِ پْراناح شُولینَ وْیَتْسْیَنْتے۔ | 35 |
revealing what they really think. For you it will feel like a sword piercing right through you.”
| اَپَرَنْچَ آشیرَسْیَ وَںشِییَپھِنُوییلو دُہِتا ہَنّاکھْیا اَتِجَرَتِی بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنْییکا یا وِواہاتْ پَرَں سَپْتَ وَتْسَرانْ پَتْیا سَہَ نْیَوَسَتْ تَتو وِدھَوا بھُوتْوا چَتُرَشِیتِوَرْشَوَیَحپَرْیَّنَتَں | 36 |
Anna the prophetess also lived in Jerusalem. She was the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher, and she was very old. She had been married for seven years,
| مَنْدِرے سْتھِتْوا پْرارْتھَنوپَواسَیرْدِوانِشَمْ اِیشْوَرَمْ اَسیوَتَ ساپِ سْتْرِی تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے مَنْدِرَماگَتْیَ | 37 |
and then she had been widowed. She was eighty-four years old. She spent her time at the Temple in worship, fasting and praying.
| پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دھَنْیَوادَں چَکارَ، یِرُوشالَمْپُرَواسِنو یاوَنْتو لوکا مُکْتِمَپیکْشْیَ سْتھِتاسْتانْ یِیشورْورِتّانْتَں جْناپَیاماسَ۔ | 38 |
She came up to them right at that moment, and began praising God. She spoke about Jesus to all those who were looking forward to the time when God would set Jerusalem free.
| اِتّھَں پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ وْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ سَرْوّیشُ کَرْمَّسُ کرِتیشُ تَو پُنَشْچَ گالِیلو ناسَرَتْنامَکَں نِجَنَگَرَں پْرَتَسْتھاتے۔ | 39 |
Once they had completed everything God's law required, they returned to their home town of Nazareth in Galilee.
| تَتْپَشْچادْ بالَکَح شَرِیرینَ ورِدّھِمیتْیَ جْنانینَ پَرِپُورْنَ آتْمَنا شَکْتِماںشْچَ بھَوِتُماریبھے تَتھا تَسْمِنْ اِیشْوَرانُگْرَہو بَبھُووَ۔ | 40 |
The child grew strong, and was very wise. God's blessing was with him.
| تَسْیَ پِتا ماتا چَ پْرَتِوَرْشَں نِسْتاروتْسَوَسَمَیے یِرُوشالَمَمْ اَگَچّھَتامْ۔ | 41 |
Jesus' parents traveled to Jerusalem every year for the Passover festival.
| اَپَرَنْچَ یِیشَو دْوادَشَوَرْشَوَیَسْکے سَتِ تَو پَرْوَّسَمَیَسْیَ رِیتْیَنُسارینَ یِرُوشالَمَں گَتْوا | 42 |
When Jesus was twelve years old, they went to the festival as they always did.
| پارْوَّنَں سَمْپادْیَ پُنَرَپِ وْیاگھُیَّ یاتَح کِنْتُ یِیشُرْبالَکو یِرُوشالَمِ تِشْٹھَتِ۔ یُوشَپھْ تَنْماتا چَ تَدْ اَوِدِتْوا | 43 |
When the festival had finished and it was time to return home, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem, but his parents didn't realize this.
| سَ سَنْگِبھِح سَہَ وِدْیَتَ ایتَچَّ بُدْوّا دِنَیکَگَمْیَمارْگَں جَگْمَتُح۔ کِنْتُ شیشے جْناتِبَنْدھُوناں سَمِیپے مرِگَیِتْوا تَدُدّےشَمَپْراپْیَ | 44 |
They assumed he was with all the others traveling home. A day passed before they started looking for him among their friends and relatives.
| تَو پُنَرَپِ یِرُوشالَمَمْ پَراورِتْیاگَتْیَ تَں مرِگَیانْچَکْرَتُح۔ | 45 |
When they couldn't find him they returned to Jerusalem to look for him there.
| اَتھَ دِنَتْرَیاتْ پَرَں پَنْڈِتاناں مَدھْیے تیشاں کَتھاح شرِنْوَنْ تَتّوَں پرِچّھَںشْچَ مَنْدِرے سَمُپَوِشْٹَح سَ تابھْیاں درِشْٹَح۔ | 46 |
It was three days before they found him in the Temple. He was sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
| تَدا تَسْیَ بُدّھیا پْرَتْیُتَّرَیشْچَ سَرْوّے شْروتارو وِسْمَیَماپَدْیَنْتے۔ | 47 |
All who heard him speak were surprised by his understanding and his answers.
| تادرِشَں درِشْٹْوا تَسْیَ جَنَکو جَنَنِی چَ چَمَچَّکْرَتُح کِنْچَ تَسْیَ ماتا تَمَوَدَتْ، ہے پُتْرَ، کَتھَماواں پْرَتِیتّھَں سَماچَرَسْتْوَمْ؟ پَشْیَ تَوَ پِتاہَنْچَ شوکاکُلَو سَنْتَو تْوامَنْوِچّھاوَح سْمَ۔ | 48 |
His parents were totally confused when they saw what he was doing. His mother asked him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I—we've been worried sick! We've been looking everywhere for you!”
| تَتَح سووَدَتْ کُتو مامْ اَنْوَیچّھَتَں؟ پِتُرْگرِہے مَیا سْتھاتَوْیَمْ ایتَتْ کِں یُوابھْیاں نَ جْنایَتے؟ | 49 |
“Why is it that you were looking for me?” Jesus replied. “Didn't you know I should be here in my Father's house?”
| کِنْتُ تَو تَسْیَیتَدْواکْیَسْیَ تاتْپَرْیَّں بودّھُں ناشَکْنُتاں۔ | 50 |
But they didn't understand what he meant.
| تَتَح پَرَں سَ تابھْیاں سَہَ ناسَرَتَں گَتْوا تَیورْوَشِیبھُوتَسْتَسْتھَو کِنْتُ سَرْوّا ایتاح کَتھاسْتَسْیَ ماتا مَنَسِ سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔ | 51 |
Then he went back with them to Nazareth, and did what he was told. His mother kept a careful note of everything that happened.
| اَتھَ یِیشو رْبُدّھِح شَرِیرَنْچَ تَتھا تَسْمِنْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مانَوانانْچانُگْرَہو وَرْدّھِتُمْ آریبھے۔ | 52 |
Jesus grew steadily wiser and stronger, favored both by God and by the people.
