Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
प्रथमतो ये साक्षिणो वाक्यप्रचारकाश्चासन् तेऽस्माकं मध्ये यद्यत् सप्रमाणं वाक्यमर्पयन्ति स्म
2 even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,
तदनुसारतोऽन्येपि बहवस्तद्वृत्तान्तं रचयितुं प्रवृत्ताः।
3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
अतएव हे महामहिमथियफिल् त्वं या याः कथा अशिक्ष्यथास्तासां दृढप्रमाणानि यथा प्राप्नोषि
4 that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
तदर्थं प्रथममारभ्य तानि सर्व्वाणि ज्ञात्वाहमपि अनुक्रमात् सर्व्ववृत्तान्तान् तुभ्यं लेखितुं मतिमकार्षम्।
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
यिहूदादेशीयहेरोद्नामके राजत्वं कुर्व्वति अबीययाजकस्य पर्य्यायाधिकारी सिखरियनामक एको याजको हारोणवंशोद्भवा इलीशेवाख्या
6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
तस्य जाया द्वाविमौ निर्दोषौ प्रभोः सर्व्वाज्ञा व्यवस्थाश्च संमन्य ईश्वरदृष्टौ धार्म्मिकावास्ताम्।
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
तयोः सन्तान एकोपि नासीत्, यत इलीशेवा बन्ध्या तौ द्वावेव वृद्धावभवताम्।
8 Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division
यदा स्वपर्य्यानुक्रमेण सिखरिय ईश्वास्य समक्षं याजकीयं कर्म्म करोति
9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
तदा यज्ञस्य दिनपरिपाय्या परमेश्वरस्य मन्दिरे प्रवेशकाले धूपज्वालनं कर्म्म तस्य करणीयमासीत्।
10 The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
तद्धूपज्वालनकाले लोकनिवहे प्रार्थनां कर्तुं बहिस्तिष्ठति
11 An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
सति सिखरियो यस्यां वेद्यां धूपं ज्वालयति तद्दक्षिणपार्श्वे परमेश्वरस्य दूत एक उपस्थितो दर्शनं ददौ।
12 Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
तं दृष्ट्वा सिखरिय उद्विविजे शशङ्के च।
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
तदा स दूतस्तं बभाषे हे सिखरिय मा भैस्तव प्रार्थना ग्राह्या जाता तव भार्य्या इलीशेवा पुत्रं प्रसोष्यते तस्य नाम योेहन् इति करिष्यसि।
14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
किञ्च त्वं सानन्दः सहर्षश्च भविष्यसि तस्य जन्मनि बहव आनन्दिष्यन्ति च।
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
यतो हेतोः स परमेश्वरस्य गोचरे महान् भविष्यति तथा द्राक्षारसं सुरां वा किमपि न पास्यति, अपरं जन्मारभ्य पवित्रेणात्मना परिपूर्णः
16 He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
सन् इस्रायेल्वंशीयान् अनेकान् प्रभोः परमेश्वरस्य मार्गमानेष्यति।
17 He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”
सन्तानान् प्रति पितृणां मनांसि धर्म्मज्ञानं प्रत्यनाज्ञाग्राहिणश्च परावर्त्तयितुं, प्रभोः परमेश्वरस्य सेवार्थम् एकां सज्जितजातिं विधातुञ्च स एलियरूपात्मशक्तिप्राप्तस्तस्याग्रे गमिष्यति।
18 Zacharias said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”
तदा सिखरियो दूतमवादीत् कथमेतद् वेत्स्यामि? यतोहं वृद्धो मम भार्य्या च वृद्धा।
19 The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
ततो दूतः प्रत्युवाच पश्येश्वरस्य साक्षाद्वर्त्ती जिब्रायेल्नामा दूतोहं त्वया सह कथां गदितुं तुभ्यमिमां शुभवार्त्तां दातुञ्च प्रेषितः।
20 Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that these things will happen, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time.”
किन्तु मदीयं वाक्यं काले फलिष्यति तत् त्वया न प्रतीतम् अतः कारणाद् यावदेव तानि न सेत्स्यन्ति तावत् त्वं वक्तुंमशक्तो मूको भव।
21 The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.
तदानीं ये ये लोकाः सिखरियमपैक्षन्त ते मध्येमन्दिरं तस्य बहुविलम्बाद् आश्चर्य्यं मेनिरे।
22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. He continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
स बहिरागतो यदा किमपि वाक्यं वक्तुमशक्तः सङ्केतं कृत्वा निःशब्दस्तस्यौ तदा मध्येमन्दिरं कस्यचिद् दर्शनं तेन प्राप्तम् इति सर्व्वे बुबुधिरे।
23 When the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
अनन्तरं तस्य सेवनपर्य्याये सम्पूर्णे सति स निजगेहं जगाम।
24 After these days Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
कतिपयदिनेषु गतेषु तस्य भार्य्या इलीशेवा गर्ब्भवती बभूव
25 “Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked at me, to take away my reproach among men.”
पश्चात् सा पञ्चमासान् संगोप्याकथयत् लोकानां समक्षं ममापमानं खण्डयितुं परमेश्वरो मयि दृष्टिं पातयित्वा कर्म्मेदृशं कृतवान्।
26 Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
अपरञ्च तस्या गर्ब्भस्य षष्ठे मासे जाते गालील्प्रदेशीयनासरत्पुरे
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary.
दायूदो वंशीयाय यूषफ्नाम्ने पुरुषाय या मरियम्नामकुमारी वाग्दत्तासीत् तस्याः समीपं जिब्रायेल् दूत ईश्वरेण प्रहितः।
28 Having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!”
स गत्वा जगाद हे ईश्वरानुगृहीतकन्ये तव शुभं भूयात् प्रभुः परमेश्वरस्तव सहायोस्ति नारीणां मध्ये त्वमेव धन्या।
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
तदानीं सा तं दृष्ट्वा तस्य वाक्यत उद्विज्य कीदृशं भाषणमिदम् इति मनसा चिन्तयामास।
30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
ततो दूतोऽवदत् हे मरियम् भयं माकार्षीः, त्वयि परमेश्वरस्यानुग्रहोस्ति।
31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and shall name him ‘Jesus.’
पश्य त्वं गर्ब्भं धृत्वा पुत्रं प्रसोष्यसे तस्य नाम यीशुरिति करिष्यसि।
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,
स महान् भविष्यति तथा सर्व्वेभ्यः श्रेष्ठस्य पुत्र इति ख्यास्यति; अपरं प्रभुः परमेश्वरस्तस्य पितुर्दायूदः सिंहासनं तस्मै दास्यति;
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob for the ages (aiōn g165). There will be no end to his Kingdom."
तथा स याकूबो वंशोपरि सर्व्वदा राजत्वं करिष्यति, तस्य राजत्वस्यान्तो न भविष्यति। (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, seeing I am a virgin?”
तदा मरियम् तं दूतं बभाषे नाहं पुरुषसङ्गं करोमि तर्हि कथमेतत् सम्भविष्यति?
35 The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.
ततो दूतोऽकथयत् पवित्र आत्मा त्वामाश्रायिष्यति तथा सर्व्वश्रेष्ठस्य शक्तिस्तवोपरि छायां करिष्यति ततो हेतोस्तव गर्ब्भाद् यः पवित्रबालको जनिष्यते स ईश्वरपुत्र इति ख्यातिं प्राप्स्यति।
36 Behold, Elizabeth your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
अपरञ्च पश्य तव ज्ञातिरिलीशेवा यां सर्व्वे बन्ध्यामवदन् इदानीं सा वार्द्धक्ये सन्तानमेकं गर्ब्भेऽधारयत् तस्य षष्ठमासोभूत्।
37 For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”
किमपि कर्म्म नासाध्यम् ईश्वरस्य।
38 Mary said, “Behold, the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
तदा मरियम् जगाद, पश्य प्रभेरहं दासी मह्यं तव वाक्यानुसारेण सर्व्वमेतद् घटताम्; अननतरं दूतस्तस्याः समीपात् प्रतस्थे।
39 Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
अथ कतिपयदिनात् परं मरियम् तस्मात् पर्व्वतमयप्रदेशीययिहूदाया नगरमेकं शीघ्रं गत्वा
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
सिखरिययाजकस्य गृहं प्रविश्य तस्य जायाम् इलीशेवां सम्बोध्यावदत्।
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
ततो मरियमः सम्बोधनवाक्ये इलीशेवायाः कर्णयोः प्रविष्टमात्रे सति तस्या गर्ब्भस्थबालको ननर्त्त। तत इलीशेवा पवित्रेणात्मना परिपूर्णा सती
42 She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
प्रोच्चैर्गदितुमारेभे, योषितां मध्ये त्वमेव धन्या, तव गर्ब्भस्थः शिशुश्च धन्यः।
43 Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
त्वं प्रभोर्माता, मम निवेशने त्वया चरणावर्पितौ, ममाद्य सौभाग्यमेतत्।
44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
पश्य तव वाक्ये मम कर्णयोः प्रविष्टमात्रे सति ममोदरस्थः शिशुरानन्दान् ननर्त्त।
45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
या स्त्री व्यश्वसीत् सा धन्या, यतो हेतोस्तां प्रति परमेश्वरोक्तं वाक्यं सर्व्वं सिद्धं भविष्यति।
46 Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord.
तदानीं मरियम् जगाद। धन्यवादं परेशस्य करोति मामकं मनः।
47 My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
ममात्मा तारकेशे च समुल्लासं प्रगच्छति।
48 for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
अकरोत् स प्रभु र्दुष्टिं स्वदास्या दुर्गतिं प्रति। पश्याद्यारभ्य मां धन्यां वक्ष्यन्ति पुरुषाः सदा।
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
यः सर्व्वशक्तिमान् यस्य नामापि च पवित्रकं। स एव सुमहत्कर्म्म कृतवान् मन्निमित्तकं।
50 His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.
ये बिभ्यति जनास्तस्मात् तेषां सन्तानपंक्तिषु। अनुकम्पा तदीया च सर्व्वदैव सुतिष्ठति।
51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
स्वबाहुबलतस्तेन प्राकाश्यत पराक्रमः। मनःकुमन्त्रणासार्द्धं विकीर्य्यन्तेऽभिमानिनः।
52 He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
सिंहासनगताल्लोकान् बलिनश्चावरोह्य सः। पदेषूच्चेषु लोकांस्तु क्षुद्रान् संस्थापयत्यपि।
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
क्षुधितान् मानवान् द्रव्यैरुत्तमैः परितर्प्य सः। सकलान् धनिनो लोकान् विसृजेद् रिक्तहस्तकान्।
54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
इब्राहीमि च तद्वंशे या दयास्ति सदैव तां। स्मृत्वा पुरा पितृणां नो यथा साक्षात् प्रतिश्रुतं। (aiōn g165)
इस्रायेल्सेवकस्तेन तथोपक्रियते स्वयं॥
56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
अनन्तरं मरियम् प्रायेण मासत्रयम् इलीशेवया सहोषित्वा व्याघुय्य निजनिवेशनं ययौ।
57 Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son.
तदनन्तरम् इलीशेवायाः प्रसवकाल उपस्थिते सति सा पुत्रं प्रासोष्ट।
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
ततः परमेश्वरस्तस्यां महानुग्रहं कृतवान् एतत् श्रुत्वा समीपवासिनः कुटुम्बाश्चागत्य तया सह मुमुदिरे।
59 On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
तथाष्टमे दिने ते बालकस्य त्वचं छेत्तुम् एत्य तस्य पितृनामानुरूपं तन्नाम सिखरिय इति कर्त्तुमीषुः।
60 His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called John.”
किन्तु तस्य माताकथयत् तन्न, नामास्य योहन् इति कर्त्तव्यम्।
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
तदा ते व्याहरन् तव वंशमध्ये नामेदृशं कस्यापि नास्ति।
62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
ततः परं तस्य पितरं सिखरियं प्रति सङ्केत्य पप्रच्छुः शिशोः किं नाम कारिष्यते?
63 He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” They all marveled.
ततः स फलकमेकं याचित्वा लिलेख तस्य नाम योहन् भविष्यति। तस्मात् सर्व्वे आश्चर्य्यं मेनिरे।
64 His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
तत्क्षणं सिखरियस्य जिह्वाजाड्येऽपगते स मुखं व्यादाय स्पष्टवर्णमुच्चार्य्य ईश्वरस्य गुणानुवादं चकार।
65 Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
तस्माच्चतुर्दिक्स्थाः समीपवासिलोका भीता एवमेताः सर्व्वाः कथा यिहूदायाः पर्व्वतमयप्रदेशस्य सर्व्वत्र प्रचारिताः।
66 All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, “What then will this child be?” The hand of the Lord was with him.
तस्मात् श्रोतारो मनःसु स्थापयित्वा कथयाम्बभूवुः कीदृशोयं बालो भविष्यति? अथ परमेश्वरस्तस्य सहायोभूत्।
67 His father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
तदा योहनः पिता सिखरियः पवित्रेणात्मना परिपूर्णः सन् एतादृशं भविष्यद्वाक्यं कथयामास।
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people;
इस्रायेलः प्रभु र्यस्तु स धन्यः परमेश्वरः। अनुगृह्य निजाल्लोकान् स एव परिमोचयेत्।
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
विपक्षजनहस्तेभ्यो यथा मोच्यामहे वयं। यावज्जीवञ्च धर्म्मेण सारल्येन च निर्भयाः।
सेवामहै तमेवैकम् एतत्कारणमेव च। स्वकीयं सुपवित्रञ्च संस्मृत्य नियमं सदा।
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;
कृपया पुरुषान् पूर्व्वान् निकषार्थात्तु नः पितुः। इब्राहीमः समीपे यं शपथं कृतवान् पुरा।
72 to show mercy toward our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,
तमेव सफलं कर्त्तं तथा शत्रुगणस्य च। ऋृतीयाकारिणश्चैव करेभ्यो रक्षणाय नः।
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
सृष्टेः प्रथमतः स्वीयैः पवित्रै र्भाविवादिभिः। (aiōn g165)
74 to grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, should serve him without fear,
यथोक्तवान् तथा स्वस्य दायूदः सेवकस्य तु।
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
वंशे त्रातारमेकं स समुत्पादितवान् स्वयम्।
76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
अतो हे बालक त्वन्तु सर्व्वेभ्यः श्रेष्ठ एव यः। तस्यैव भाविवादीति प्रविख्यातो भविष्यसि। अस्माकं चरणान् क्षेमे मार्गे चालयितुं सदा। एवं ध्वान्तेऽर्थतो मृत्योश्छायायां ये तु मानवाः।
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
उपविष्टास्तु तानेव प्रकाशयितुमेव हि। कृत्वा महानुकम्पां हि यामेव परमेश्वरः।
78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high will visit us,
ऊर्द्व्वात् सूर्य्यमुदाय्यैवास्मभ्यं प्रादात्तु दर्शनं। तयानुकम्पया स्वस्य लोकानां पापमोचने।
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
परित्राणस्य तेभ्यो हि ज्ञानविश्राणनाय च। प्रभो र्मार्गं परिष्कर्त्तुं तस्याग्रायी भविष्यसि॥
80 The child was growing and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
अथ बालकः शरीरेण बुद्ध्या च वर्द्धितुमारेभे; अपरञ्च स इस्रायेलो वंशीयलोकानां समीपे यावन्न प्रकटीभूतस्तास्तावत् प्रान्तरे न्यवसत्।
