Luke 2
1 Now it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole inhabited world should be enrolled.
aparañca tasmin kāle rājyasya sarvveṣāṁ lokānāṁ nāmāni lekhayitum agastakaisara ājñāpayāmāsa|
2 This first census took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.
tadanusāreṇa kurīṇiyanāmani suriyādeśasya śāsake sati nāmalekhanaṁ prārebhe|
3 So everyone was traveling, each to his own town, to enroll himself.
ato heto rnāma lekhituṁ sarvve janāḥ svīyaṁ svīyaṁ nagaraṁ jagmuḥ|
4 So Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of Natsareth town, into Judea to the city of David, that is called Bethlehem, because he was of David's ‘house’, that is, line of descent,
tadānīṁ yūṣaph nāma lekhituṁ vāgdattayā svabhāryyayā garbbhavatyā mariyamā saha svayaṁ dāyūdaḥ sajātivaṁśa iti kāraṇād gālīlpradeśasya nāsaratnagarād
5 to enroll himself with Mary, the woman who had been betrothed to him, who was pregnant.
yihūdāpradeśasya baitlehamākhyaṁ dāyūdnagaraṁ jagāma|
6 So it happened that when they got there the days for her to give birth were completed;
anyacca tatra sthāne tayostiṣṭhatoḥ sato rmariyamaḥ prasūtikāla upasthite
7 and she gave birth to her firstborn Son, wrapped Him in pieces of cloth and laid Him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the lodging place.
sā taṁ prathamasutaṁ prāsoṣṭa kintu tasmin vāsagṛhe sthānābhāvād bālakaṁ vastreṇa veṣṭayitvā gośālāyāṁ sthāpayāmāsa|
8 Now there were shepherds in that same area, staying out in the field and keeping the nightly watches over their flock.
anantaraṁ ye kiyanto meṣapālakāḥ svameṣavrajarakṣāyai tatpradeśe sthitvā rajanyāṁ prāntare prahariṇaḥ karmma kurvvanti,
9 When wow, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
teṣāṁ samīpaṁ parameśvarasya dūta āgatyopatasthau; tadā catuṣpārśve parameśvarasya tejasaḥ prakāśitatvāt te'tiśaśaṅkire|
10 The angel said to them: “Do not be afraid because listen, I am announcing the most joyful news to you, which will be to all the people!
tadā sa dūta uvāca mā bhaiṣṭa paśyatādya dāyūdaḥ pure yuṣmannimittaṁ trātā prabhuḥ khrīṣṭo'janiṣṭa,
11 You see, today, in David's city, a Savior was born to you, who is Lord Christ!
sarvveṣāṁ lokānāṁ mahānandajanakam imaṁ maṅgalavṛttāntaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmi|
12 And this is the sign to you: you will find a Baby wrapped in pieces of cloth, lying in a manger.”
yūyaṁ (tatsthānaṁ gatvā) vastraveṣṭitaṁ taṁ bālakaṁ gośālāyāṁ śayanaṁ drakṣyatha yuṣmān pratīdaṁ cihnaṁ bhaviṣyati|
13 Suddenly a multitude of the heavenly army was with the angel praising God and saying,
dūta imāṁ kathāṁ kathitavati tatrākasmāt svargīyāḥ pṛtanā āgatya kathām imāṁ kathayitveśvarasya guṇānanvavādiṣuḥ, yathā,
14 “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward mankind!”
sarvvordvvasthairīśvarasya mahimā samprakāśyatāṁ| śāntirbhūyāt pṛthivyāstu santoṣaśca narān prati||
15 So when the angels went away from them into the sky the men, the shepherds, said to one another, “Hey, let's go to Bethlehem and see this event that has taken place, that the Lord made known to us!”
tataḥ paraṁ teṣāṁ sannidhe rdūtagaṇe svargaṁ gate meṣapālakāḥ parasparam avecan āgacchata prabhuḥ parameśvaro yāṁ ghaṭanāṁ jñāpitavān tasyā yātharyaṁ jñātuṁ vayamadhunā baitlehampuraṁ yāmaḥ|
16 So they went in a hurry and located both Mary and Joseph, and the Baby lying in the manger.
paścāt te tūrṇaṁ vrajitvā mariyamaṁ yūṣaphaṁ gośālāyāṁ śayanaṁ bālakañca dadṛśuḥ|
17 And having seen they spread an exact account of the saying that had been spoken to them concerning this Child.
itthaṁ dṛṣṭvā bālakasyārthe proktāṁ sarvvakathāṁ te prācārayāñcakruḥ|
18 All who heard marveled at the things told them by the shepherds.
tato ye lokā meṣarakṣakāṇāṁ vadanebhyastāṁ vārttāṁ śuśruvuste mahāścaryyaṁ menire|
19 As for Mary, she treasured all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
kintu mariyam etatsarvvaghaṭanānāṁ tātparyyaṁ vivicya manasi sthāpayāmāsa|
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God over all that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
tatpaścād dūtavijñaptānurūpaṁ śrutvā dṛṣṭvā ca meṣapālakā īśvarasya guṇānuvādaṁ dhanyavādañca kurvvāṇāḥ parāvṛtya yayuḥ|
21 When eight days were completed so as to circumcise Him, His name was indeed called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
atha bālakasya tvakchedanakāle'ṣṭamadivase samupasthite tasya garbbhasthiteḥ purvvaṁ svargīyadūto yathājñāpayat tadanurūpaṁ te tannāmadheyaṁ yīśuriti cakrire|
22 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they took Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
tataḥ paraṁ mūsālikhitavyavasthāyā anusāreṇa mariyamaḥ śucitvakāla upasthite,
23 (just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens a womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
"prathamajaḥ sarvvaḥ puruṣasantānaḥ parameśvare samarpyatāṁ," iti parameśvarasya vyavasthayā
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what was specified in the Lord's Law, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons”.
yīśuṁ parameśvare samarpayitum śāstrīyavidhyuktaṁ kapotadvayaṁ pārāvataśāvakadvayaṁ vā baliṁ dātuṁ te taṁ gṛhītvā yirūśālamam āyayuḥ|
25 Well now, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, expectantly waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and Holy Spirit was upon him.
yirūśālampuranivāsī śimiyonnāmā dhārmmika eka āsīt sa isrāyelaḥ sāntvanāmapekṣya tasthau kiñca pavitra ātmā tasminnāvirbhūtaḥ|
26 (It had been revealed to him repeatedly by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he saw the Lord's Messiah.)
aparaṁ prabhuṇā parameśvareṇābhiṣikte trātari tvayā na dṛṣṭe tvaṁ na mariṣyasīti vākyaṁ pavitreṇa ātmanā tasma prākathyata|
27 So by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought the Child Jesus in, to do concerning Him according to the custom of the law,
aparañca yadā yīśoḥ pitā mātā ca tadarthaṁ vyavasthānurūpaṁ karmma karttuṁ taṁ mandiram āninyatustadā
28 Simeon took Him into his arms and blessed God and said:
śimiyon ātmana ākarṣaṇena mandiramāgatya taṁ kroḍe nidhāya īśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ kṛtvā kathayāmāsa, yathā,
29 “Sovereign, now You can release your slave in peace, according to Your word,
he prabho tava dāsoyaṁ nijavākyānusārataḥ| idānīntu sakalyāṇo bhavatā saṁvisṛjyatām|
30 because my eyes have seen Your salvation,
yataḥ sakaladeśasya dīptaye dīptirūpakaṁ|
31 which You have prepared before the face of all peoples:
isrāyelīyalokasya mahāgauravarūpakaṁ|
32 a light for revelation to Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.”
yaṁ trāyakaṁ janānāntu sammukhe tvamajījanaḥ| saeva vidyate'smākaṁ dhravaṁ nayananagocare||
33 And Joseph and His mother were marveling at the things being spoken concerning Him.
tadānīṁ tenoktā etāḥ sakalāḥ kathāḥ śrutvā tasya mātā yūṣaph ca vismayaṁ menāte|
34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother: “Listen, this One is appointed to bring about the fall and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that is spoken against,
tataḥ paraṁ śimiyon tebhya āśiṣaṁ dattvā tanmātaraṁ mariyamam uvāca, paśya isrāyelo vaṁśamadhye bahūnāṁ pātanāyotthāpanāya ca tathā virodhapātraṁ bhavituṁ, bahūnāṁ guptamanogatānāṁ prakaṭīkaraṇāya bālakoyaṁ niyuktosti|
35 so that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed (furthermore, a sword will pass through your own soul also).”
tasmāt tavāpi prāṇāḥ śūlena vyatsyante|
36 Also there was a prophetess Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher—she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity
aparañca āśerasya vaṁśīyaphinūyelo duhitā hannākhyā atijaratī bhaviṣyadvādinyekā yā vivāhāt paraṁ sapta vatsarān patyā saha nyavasat tato vidhavā bhūtvā caturaśītivarṣavayaḥparyyanataṁ
37 and having been a widow for about eighty-four years—who did not depart from the temple, serving God with fastings and petitions night and day.
mandire sthitvā prārthanopavāsairdivāniśam īśvaram asevata sāpi strī tasmin samaye mandiramāgatya
38 Well she, having come up at that very moment, started praising the Lord, and kept on speaking of Him to all those in Jerusalem who were looking for redemption.
parameśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ cakāra, yirūśālampuravāsino yāvanto lokā muktimapekṣya sthitāstān yīśorvṛttāntaṁ jñāpayāmāsa|
39 When they had completed everything, according to the law of the Lord, they went back to Galilee, to their own town, Natsareth.
itthaṁ parameśvarasya vyavasthānusāreṇa sarvveṣu karmmasu kṛteṣu tau punaśca gālīlo nāsaratnāmakaṁ nijanagaraṁ pratasthāte|
40 And the Child kept growing and being strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom; yes, the grace of God was upon Him.
tatpaścād bālakaḥ śarīreṇa vṛddhimetya jñānena paripūrṇa ātmanā śaktimāṁśca bhavitumārebhe tathā tasmin īśvarānugraho babhūva|
41 Now every year His parents would go to Jerusalem to the feast of the Passover;
tasya pitā mātā ca prativarṣaṁ nistārotsavasamaye yirūśālamam agacchatām|
42 so when He was twelve years old they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
aparañca yīśau dvādaśavarṣavayaske sati tau parvvasamayasya rītyanusāreṇa yirūśālamaṁ gatvā
43 When they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but Joseph and His mother did not know it.
pārvvaṇaṁ sampādya punarapi vyāghuyya yātaḥ kintu yīśurbālako yirūśālami tiṣṭhati| yūṣaph tanmātā ca tad aviditvā
44 Supposing Him to be in the caravan, they went a day's journey and then started looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
sa saṅgibhiḥ saha vidyata etacca budvvā dinaikagamyamārgaṁ jagmatuḥ| kintu śeṣe jñātibandhūnāṁ samīpe mṛgayitvā taduddeśamaprāpya
45 Not finding Him, they returned to Jerusalem seeking Him.
tau punarapi yirūśālamam parāvṛtyāgatya taṁ mṛgayāñcakratuḥ|
46 So it happened that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
atha dinatrayāt paraṁ paṇḍitānāṁ madhye teṣāṁ kathāḥ śṛṇvan tattvaṁ pṛcchaṁśca mandire samupaviṣṭaḥ sa tābhyāṁ dṛṣṭaḥ|
47 (All who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.)
tadā tasya buddhyā pratyuttaraiśca sarvve śrotāro vismayamāpadyante|
48 So upon seeing Him they were amazed, and His mother said to Him: “Son, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in distress.”
tādṛśaṁ dṛṣṭvā tasya janako jananī ca camaccakratuḥ kiñca tasya mātā tamavadat, he putra, kathamāvāṁ pratītthaṁ samācarastvam? paśya tava pitāhañca śokākulau santau tvāmanvicchāvaḥ sma|
49 So He said to them: “Why were you seeking me? Didn't you know that I must be about my Father's concerns?”
tataḥ sovadat kuto mām anvaicchataṁ? piturgṛhe mayā sthātavyam etat kiṁ yuvābhyāṁ na jñāyate?
50 But they did not understand the statement that He made to them.
kintu tau tasyaitadvākyasya tātparyyaṁ boddhuṁ nāśaknutāṁ|
51 Then He went down with them and came to Natsareth, and continued subordinating Himself to them; His mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
tataḥ paraṁ sa tābhyāṁ saha nāsarataṁ gatvā tayorvaśībhūtastasthau kintu sarvvā etāḥ kathāstasya mātā manasi sthāpayāmāsa|
52 And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
atha yīśo rbuddhiḥ śarīrañca tathā tasmin īśvarasya mānavānāñcānugraho varddhitum ārebhe|
