Luke 2
1 But it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census should be made of all the habitable world.
aparañca tasmin kālē rājyasya sarvvēṣāṁ lōkānāṁ nāmāni lēkhayitum agastakaisara ājñāpayāmāsa|
2 The census itself first took place when Cyrenius had the government of Syria.
tadanusārēṇa kurīṇiyanāmani suriyādēśasya śāsakē sati nāmalēkhanaṁ prārēbhē|
3 And all went to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his own city:
atō hētō rnāma lēkhituṁ sarvvē janāḥ svīyaṁ svīyaṁ nagaraṁ jagmuḥ|
4 and Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city Nazareth to Judaea, to David's city, the which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
tadānīṁ yūṣaph nāma lēkhituṁ vāgdattayā svabhāryyayā garbbhavatyā mariyamā saha svayaṁ dāyūdaḥ sajātivaṁśa iti kāraṇād gālīlpradēśasya nāsaratnagarād
5 to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him [as his] wife, she being great with child.
yihūdāpradēśasya baitlēhamākhyaṁ dāyūdnagaraṁ jagāma|
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days of her giving birth [to her child] were fulfilled,
anyacca tatra sthānē tayōstiṣṭhatōḥ satō rmariyamaḥ prasūtikāla upasthitē
7 and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him up in swaddling-clothes and laid him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
sā taṁ prathamasutaṁ prāsōṣṭa kintu tasmin vāsagr̥hē sthānābhāvād bālakaṁ vastrēṇa vēṣṭayitvā gōśālāyāṁ sthāpayāmāsa|
8 And there were shepherds in that country abiding without, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
anantaraṁ yē kiyantō mēṣapālakāḥ svamēṣavrajarakṣāyai tatpradēśē sthitvā rajanyāṁ prāntarē prahariṇaḥ karmma kurvvanti,
9 And lo, an angel of [the] Lord was there by them, and [the] glory of [the] Lord shone around them, and they feared [with] great fear.
tēṣāṁ samīpaṁ paramēśvarasya dūta āgatyōpatasthau; tadā catuṣpārśvē paramēśvarasya tējasaḥ prakāśitatvāt tē'tiśaśaṅkirē|
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not, for behold, I announce to you glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people;
tadā sa dūta uvāca mā bhaiṣṭa paśyatādya dāyūdaḥ purē yuṣmannimittaṁ trātā prabhuḥ khrīṣṭō'janiṣṭa,
11 for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David's city, who is Christ [the] Lord.
sarvvēṣāṁ lōkānāṁ mahānandajanakam imaṁ maṅgalavr̥ttāntaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmi|
12 And this is the sign to you: ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and lying in a manger.
yūyaṁ (tatsthānaṁ gatvā) vastravēṣṭitaṁ taṁ bālakaṁ gōśālāyāṁ śayanaṁ drakṣyatha yuṣmān pratīdaṁ cihnaṁ bhaviṣyati|
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
dūta imāṁ kathāṁ kathitavati tatrākasmāt svargīyāḥ pr̥tanā āgatya kathām imāṁ kathayitvēśvarasya guṇānanvavādiṣuḥ, yathā,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good pleasure in men.
sarvvōrdvvasthairīśvarasya mahimā samprakāśyatāṁ| śāntirbhūyāt pr̥thivyāstu santōṣaśca narān prati||
15 And it came to pass, as the angels departed from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, Let us make our way then now as far as Bethlehem, and let us see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
tataḥ paraṁ tēṣāṁ sannidhē rdūtagaṇē svargaṁ gatē mēṣapālakāḥ parasparam avēcan āgacchata prabhuḥ paramēśvarō yāṁ ghaṭanāṁ jñāpitavān tasyā yātharyaṁ jñātuṁ vayamadhunā baitlēhampuraṁ yāmaḥ|
16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger;
paścāt tē tūrṇaṁ vrajitvā mariyamaṁ yūṣaphaṁ gōśālāyāṁ śayanaṁ bālakañca dadr̥śuḥ|
17 and having seen [it] they made known about the country the thing which had been said to them concerning this child.
itthaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā bālakasyārthē prōktāṁ sarvvakathāṁ tē prācārayāñcakruḥ|
18 And all who heard [it] wondered at the things said to them by the shepherds.
tatō yē lōkā mēṣarakṣakāṇāṁ vadanēbhyastāṁ vārttāṁ śuśruvustē mahāścaryyaṁ mēnirē|
19 But Mary kept all these things [in her mind], pondering [them] in her heart.
kintu mariyam ētatsarvvaghaṭanānāṁ tātparyyaṁ vivicya manasi sthāpayāmāsa|
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen, as it had been said to them.
tatpaścād dūtavijñaptānurūpaṁ śrutvā dr̥ṣṭvā ca mēṣapālakā īśvarasya guṇānuvādaṁ dhanyavādañca kurvvāṇāḥ parāvr̥tya yayuḥ|
21 And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, which was the name given by the angel before he had been conceived in the womb.
atha bālakasya tvakchēdanakālē'ṣṭamadivasē samupasthitē tasya garbbhasthitēḥ purvvaṁ svargīyadūtō yathājñāpayat tadanurūpaṁ tē tannāmadhēyaṁ yīśuriti cakrirē|
22 And when the days were fulfilled for their purifying according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem to present [him] to the Lord
tataḥ paraṁ mūsālikhitavyavasthāyā anusārēṇa mariyamaḥ śucitvakāla upasthitē,
23 (as it is written in the law of [the] Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
"prathamajaḥ sarvvaḥ puruṣasantānaḥ paramēśvarē samarpyatāṁ," iti paramēśvarasya vyavasthayā
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of [the] Lord: A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.
yīśuṁ paramēśvarē samarpayitum śāstrīyavidhyuktaṁ kapōtadvayaṁ pārāvataśāvakadvayaṁ vā baliṁ dātuṁ tē taṁ gr̥hītvā yirūśālamam āyayuḥ|
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and [the] Holy Spirit was upon him.
yirūśālampuranivāsī śimiyōnnāmā dhārmmika ēka āsīt sa isrāyēlaḥ sāntvanāmapēkṣya tasthau kiñca pavitra ātmā tasminnāvirbhūtaḥ|
26 And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see [the] Lord's Christ.
aparaṁ prabhuṇā paramēśvarēṇābhiṣiktē trātari tvayā na dr̥ṣṭē tvaṁ na mariṣyasīti vākyaṁ pavitrēṇa ātmanā tasma prākathyata|
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law,
aparañca yadā yīśōḥ pitā mātā ca tadarthaṁ vyavasthānurūpaṁ karmma karttuṁ taṁ mandiram āninyatustadā
28 he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
śimiyōn ātmana ākarṣaṇēna mandiramāgatya taṁ krōḍē nidhāya īśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ kr̥tvā kathayāmāsa, yathā,
29 Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;
hē prabhō tava dāsōyaṁ nijavākyānusārataḥ| idānīntu sakalyāṇō bhavatā saṁvisr̥jyatām|
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
yataḥ sakaladēśasya dīptayē dīptirūpakaṁ|
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
isrāyēlīyalōkasya mahāgauravarūpakaṁ|
32 a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.
yaṁ trāyakaṁ janānāntu sammukhē tvamajījanaḥ| saēva vidyatē'smākaṁ dhravaṁ nayananagōcarē||
33 And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him.
tadānīṁ tēnōktā ētāḥ sakalāḥ kathāḥ śrutvā tasya mātā yūṣaph ca vismayaṁ mēnātē|
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Lo, this [child] is set for the fall and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against;
tataḥ paraṁ śimiyōn tēbhya āśiṣaṁ dattvā tanmātaraṁ mariyamam uvāca, paśya isrāyēlō vaṁśamadhyē bahūnāṁ pātanāyōtthāpanāya ca tathā virōdhapātraṁ bhavituṁ, bahūnāṁ guptamanōgatānāṁ prakaṭīkaraṇāya bālakōyaṁ niyuktōsti|
35 (and even a sword shall go through thine own soul; ) so that [the] thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.
tasmāt tavāpi prāṇāḥ śūlēna vyatsyantē|
36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, daughter of Phanuel, of [the] tribe of Asher, who was far advanced in years, having lived with [her] husband seven years from her virginity,
aparañca āśērasya vaṁśīyaphinūyēlō duhitā hannākhyā atijaratī bhaviṣyadvādinyēkā yā vivāhāt paraṁ sapta vatsarān patyā saha nyavasat tatō vidhavā bhūtvā caturaśītivarṣavayaḥparyyanataṁ
37 and herself a widow up to eighty-four years; who did not depart from the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers;
mandirē sthitvā prārthanōpavāsairdivāniśam īśvaram asēvata sāpi strī tasmin samayē mandiramāgatya
38 and she coming up the same hour gave praise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who waited for redemption in Jerusalem.
paramēśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ cakāra, yirūśālampuravāsinō yāvantō lōkā muktimapēkṣya sthitāstān yīśōrvr̥ttāntaṁ jñāpayāmāsa|
39 And when they had completed all things according to the law of [the] Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.
itthaṁ paramēśvarasya vyavasthānusārēṇa sarvvēṣu karmmasu kr̥tēṣu tau punaśca gālīlō nāsaratnāmakaṁ nijanagaraṁ pratasthātē|
40 And the child grew and waxed strong [in spirit], filled with wisdom, and God's grace was upon him.
tatpaścād bālakaḥ śarīrēṇa vr̥ddhimētya jñānēna paripūrṇa ātmanā śaktimāṁśca bhavitumārēbhē tathā tasmin īśvarānugrahō babhūva|
41 And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
tasya pitā mātā ca prativarṣaṁ nistārōtsavasamayē yirūśālamam agacchatām|
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up [to Jerusalem] according to the custom of the feast
aparañca yīśau dvādaśavarṣavayaskē sati tau parvvasamayasya rītyanusārēṇa yirūśālamaṁ gatvā
43 and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not [of it];
pārvvaṇaṁ sampādya punarapi vyāghuyya yātaḥ kintu yīśurbālakō yirūśālami tiṣṭhati| yūṣaph tanmātā ca tad aviditvā
44 but, supposing him to be in the company that journeyed together, they went a day's journey, and sought him among their relations and acquaintances:
sa saṅgibhiḥ saha vidyata ētacca budvvā dinaikagamyamārgaṁ jagmatuḥ| kintu śēṣē jñātibandhūnāṁ samīpē mr̥gayitvā taduddēśamaprāpya
45 and not having found him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him.
tau punarapi yirūśālamam parāvr̥tyāgatya taṁ mr̥gayāñcakratuḥ|
46 And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers and hearing them and asking them questions.
atha dinatrayāt paraṁ paṇḍitānāṁ madhyē tēṣāṁ kathāḥ śr̥ṇvan tattvaṁ pr̥cchaṁśca mandirē samupaviṣṭaḥ sa tābhyāṁ dr̥ṣṭaḥ|
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
tadā tasya buddhyā pratyuttaraiśca sarvvē śrōtārō vismayamāpadyantē|
48 And when they saw him they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Child, why hast thou dealt thus with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee distressed.
tādr̥śaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tasya janakō jananī ca camaccakratuḥ kiñca tasya mātā tamavadat, hē putra, kathamāvāṁ pratītthaṁ samācarastvam? paśya tava pitāhañca śōkākulau santau tvāmanvicchāvaḥ sma|
49 And he said to them, Why [is it] that ye have sought me? did ye not know that I ought to be [occupied] in my Father's business?
tataḥ sōvadat kutō mām anvaicchataṁ? piturgr̥hē mayā sthātavyam ētat kiṁ yuvābhyāṁ na jñāyatē?
50 And they understood not the thing that he said to them.
kintu tau tasyaitadvākyasya tātparyyaṁ bōddhuṁ nāśaknutāṁ|
51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and he was in subjection to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
tataḥ paraṁ sa tābhyāṁ saha nāsarataṁ gatvā tayōrvaśībhūtastasthau kintu sarvvā ētāḥ kathāstasya mātā manasi sthāpayāmāsa|
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
atha yīśō rbuddhiḥ śarīrañca tathā tasmin īśvarasya mānavānāñcānugrahō varddhitum ārēbhē|
