Luke 2
1 And it came to passe in those dayes, that there came a decree from Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed.
aparañca tasmin kāle rājyasya sarvveṣāṁ lokānāṁ nāmāni lekhayitum agastakaisara ājñāpayāmāsa|
2 (This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was gouernour of Syria.)
tadanusāreṇa kurīṇiyanāmani suriyādeśasya śāsake sati nāmalekhanaṁ prārebhe|
3 Therefore went all to be taxed, euery man to his owne Citie.
ato heto rnāma lekhituṁ sarvve janāḥ svīyaṁ svīyaṁ nagaraṁ jagmuḥ|
4 And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid, )
tadānīṁ yūṣaph nāma lekhituṁ vāgdattayā svabhāryyayā garbbhavatyā mariyamā saha svayaṁ dāyūdaḥ sajātivaṁśa iti kāraṇād gālīlpradeśasya nāsaratnagarād
5 To bee taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife, which was with childe.
yihūdāpradeśasya baitlehamākhyaṁ dāyūdnagaraṁ jagāma|
6 And so it was, that while they were there, the daies were accomplished that shee shoulde be deliuered,
anyacca tatra sthāne tayostiṣṭhatoḥ sato rmariyamaḥ prasūtikāla upasthite
7 And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne.
sā taṁ prathamasutaṁ prāsoṣṭa kintu tasmin vāsagṛhe sthānābhāvād bālakaṁ vastreṇa veṣṭayitvā gośālāyāṁ sthāpayāmāsa|
8 And there were in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke.
anantaraṁ ye kiyanto meṣapālakāḥ svameṣavrajarakṣāyai tatpradeśe sthitvā rajanyāṁ prāntare prahariṇaḥ karmma kurvvanti,
9 And loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide.
teṣāṁ samīpaṁ parameśvarasya dūta āgatyopatasthau; tadā catuṣpārśve parameśvarasya tejasaḥ prakāśitatvāt te'tiśaśaṅkire|
10 Then the Angel saide vnto them, Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to all the people,
tadā sa dūta uvāca mā bhaiṣṭa paśyatādya dāyūdaḥ pure yuṣmannimittaṁ trātā prabhuḥ khrīṣṭo'janiṣṭa,
11 That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord.
sarvveṣāṁ lokānāṁ mahānandajanakam imaṁ maṅgalavṛttāntaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmi|
12 And this shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch.
yūyaṁ (tatsthānaṁ gatvā) vastraveṣṭitaṁ taṁ bālakaṁ gośālāyāṁ śayanaṁ drakṣyatha yuṣmān pratīdaṁ cihnaṁ bhaviṣyati|
13 And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praising God, and saying,
dūta imāṁ kathāṁ kathitavati tatrākasmāt svargīyāḥ pṛtanā āgatya kathām imāṁ kathayitveśvarasya guṇānanvavādiṣuḥ, yathā,
14 Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will.
sarvvordvvasthairīśvarasya mahimā samprakāśyatāṁ| śāntirbhūyāt pṛthivyāstu santoṣaśca narān prati||
15 And it came to passe whe the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, that the shepheards sayde one to another, Let vs goe then vnto Beth-leem, and see this thing that is come to passe which the Lord hath shewed vnto vs.
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 came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.
paścāt te tūrṇaṁ vrajitvā mariyamaṁ yūṣaphaṁ gośālāyāṁ śayanaṁ bālakañca dadṛśuḥ|
17 And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe.
itthaṁ dṛṣṭvā bālakasyārthe proktāṁ sarvvakathāṁ te prācārayāñcakruḥ|
18 And all that heard it, wondred at ye things which were tolde them of the shepheards.
tato ye lokā meṣarakṣakāṇāṁ vadanebhyastāṁ vārttāṁ śuśruvuste mahāścaryyaṁ menire|
19 But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred them in her heart.
kintu mariyam etatsarvvaghaṭanānāṁ tātparyyaṁ vivicya manasi sthāpayāmāsa|
20 And the shepheardes returned glorifiyng and praising God, for all that they had heard and seene as it was spoken vnto them.
tatpaścād dūtavijñaptānurūpaṁ śrutvā dṛṣṭvā ca meṣapālakā īśvarasya guṇānuvādaṁ dhanyavādañca kurvvāṇāḥ parāvṛtya yayuḥ|
21 And when the eight daies were accomplished, that they shoulde circumcise the childe, his name was then called Iesus, which was named of the Angell, before he was conceiued in the wombe.
atha bālakasya tvakchedanakāle'ṣṭamadivase samupasthite tasya garbbhasthiteḥ purvvaṁ svargīyadūto yathājñāpayat tadanurūpaṁ te tannāmadheyaṁ yīśuriti cakrire|
22 And when the daies of her purification after the Lawe of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lord,
tataḥ paraṁ mūsālikhitavyavasthāyā anusāreṇa mariyamaḥ śucitvakāla upasthite,
23 (As it is written in the Lawe of the Lord, Euery man childe that first openeth ye wombe, shalbe called holy to the Lord)
"prathamajaḥ sarvvaḥ puruṣasantānaḥ parameśvare samarpyatāṁ," iti parameśvarasya vyavasthayā
24 And to giue an oblation, as it is commanded in the Lawe of the Lord, a paire of turtle doues, or two yong pigeons.
yīśuṁ parameśvare samarpayitum śāstrīyavidhyuktaṁ kapotadvayaṁ pārāvataśāvakadvayaṁ vā baliṁ dātuṁ te taṁ gṛhītvā yirūśālamam āyayuḥ|
25 And behold, there was a man in Hierusalem, whose name was Simeon: this man was iust, and feared God, and waited for the consolation of Israel, and the holy Ghost was vpon him.
yirūśālampuranivāsī śimiyonnāmā dhārmmika eka āsīt sa isrāyelaḥ sāntvanāmapekṣya tasthau kiñca pavitra ātmā tasminnāvirbhūtaḥ|
26 And it was declared to him from God by the holy Ghost, that he shoulde not see death, before he had seene that Anointed of the Lord.
aparaṁ prabhuṇā parameśvareṇābhiṣikte trātari tvayā na dṛṣṭe tvaṁ na mariṣyasīti vākyaṁ pavitreṇa ātmanā tasma prākathyata|
27 And he came by the motion of the spirit into the Temple, and when the parents brought in the babe Iesus, to do for him after the custome of the Lawe,
aparañca yadā yīśoḥ pitā mātā ca tadarthaṁ vyavasthānurūpaṁ karmma karttuṁ taṁ mandiram āninyatustadā
28 Then hee tooke him in his armes, and praised God, and sayd,
śimiyon ātmana ākarṣaṇena mandiramāgatya taṁ kroḍe nidhāya īśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ kṛtvā kathayāmāsa, yathā,
29 Lord, nowe lettest thou thy seruaunt depart in peace, according to thy woorde,
he prabho tava dāsoyaṁ nijavākyānusārataḥ| idānīntu sakalyāṇo bhavatā saṁvisṛjyatām|
30 For mine eyes haue seene thy saluation,
yataḥ sakaladeśasya dīptaye dīptirūpakaṁ|
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,
isrāyelīyalokasya mahāgauravarūpakaṁ|
32 A light to be reueiled to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
yaṁ trāyakaṁ janānāntu sammukhe tvamajījanaḥ| saeva vidyate'smākaṁ dhravaṁ nayananagocare||
33 And Ioseph and his mother marueiled at those things, which were spoken touching him.
tadānīṁ tenoktā etāḥ sakalāḥ kathāḥ śrutvā tasya mātā yūṣaph ca vismayaṁ menāte|
34 And Simeon blessed them, and saide vnto Mary his mother, Beholde, this childe is appointed for the fall and rising againe of many in Israel, and for a signe which shalbe 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 (Yea and a sworde shall pearce through thy soule) that the thoughts of many heartes may be opened.
tasmāt tavāpi prāṇāḥ śūlena vyatsyante|
36 And there was a Prophetesse, one Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser, which was of a great age, after she had liued with an husband seuen yeeres from her virginitie:
aparañca āśerasya vaṁśīyaphinūyelo duhitā hannākhyā atijaratī bhaviṣyadvādinyekā yā vivāhāt paraṁ sapta vatsarān patyā saha nyavasat tato vidhavā bhūtvā caturaśītivarṣavayaḥparyyanataṁ
37 And she was widowe about foure score and foure yeeres, and went not out of the Temple, but serued God with fastings and prayers, night and day.
mandire sthitvā prārthanopavāsairdivāniśam īśvaram asevata sāpi strī tasmin samaye mandiramāgatya
38 She then coming at the same instant vpon them, confessed likewise the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Hierusalem.
parameśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ cakāra, yirūśālampuravāsino yāvanto lokā muktimapekṣya sthitāstān yīśorvṛttāntaṁ jñāpayāmāsa|
39 And when they had performed all thinges according to the lawe of the Lord, they returned into Galile to their owne citie Nazareth.
itthaṁ parameśvarasya vyavasthānusāreṇa sarvveṣu karmmasu kṛteṣu tau punaśca gālīlo nāsaratnāmakaṁ nijanagaraṁ pratasthāte|
40 And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in Spirit, and was filled with wisedome, and the grace of God was with him.
tatpaścād bālakaḥ śarīreṇa vṛddhimetya jñānena paripūrṇa ātmanā śaktimāṁśca bhavitumārebhe tathā tasmin īśvarānugraho babhūva|
41 Nowe his parents went to Hierusalem euery yeere, at the feast of the Passeouer.
tasya pitā mātā ca prativarṣaṁ nistārotsavasamaye yirūśālamam agacchatām|
42 And when hee was twelue yeere olde, and they were come vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast,
aparañca yīśau dvādaśavarṣavayaske sati tau parvvasamayasya rītyanusāreṇa yirūśālamaṁ gatvā
43 And had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother,
pārvvaṇaṁ sampādya punarapi vyāghuyya yātaḥ kintu yīśurbālako yirūśālami tiṣṭhati| yūṣaph tanmātā ca tad aviditvā
44 But they supposing, that he had bene in the company, went a dayes iourney, and sought him among their kinsfolke, and acquaintance.
sa saṅgibhiḥ saha vidyata etacca budvvā dinaikagamyamārgaṁ jagmatuḥ| kintu śeṣe jñātibandhūnāṁ samīpe mṛgayitvā taduddeśamaprāpya
45 And when they found him not, they turned backe to Hierusalem, and sought him.
tau punarapi yirūśālamam parāvṛtyāgatya taṁ mṛgayāñcakratuḥ|
46 And it came to passe three dayes after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the mids of the doctours, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
atha dinatrayāt paraṁ paṇḍitānāṁ madhye teṣāṁ kathāḥ śṛṇvan tattvaṁ pṛcchaṁśca mandire samupaviṣṭaḥ sa tābhyāṁ dṛṣṭaḥ|
47 And all that heard him, were astonied at his vnderstanding and answeres.
tadā tasya buddhyā pratyuttaraiśca sarvve śrotāro vismayamāpadyante|
48 So when they sawe him, they were amased, and his mother said vnto him, Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee with very heauie hearts.
tādṛśaṁ dṛṣṭvā tasya janako jananī ca camaccakratuḥ kiñca tasya mātā tamavadat, he putra, kathamāvāṁ pratītthaṁ samācarastvam? paśya tava pitāhañca śokākulau santau tvāmanvicchāvaḥ sma|
49 Then said he vnto them, Howe is it that ye sought me? knewe ye not that I must goe about my Fathers busines?
tataḥ sovadat kuto mām anvaicchataṁ? piturgṛhe mayā sthātavyam etat kiṁ yuvābhyāṁ na jñāyate?
50 But they vnderstoode not the word that he spake to them.
kintu tau tasyaitadvākyasya tātparyyaṁ boddhuṁ nāśaknutāṁ|
51 Then hee went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect to them: and 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 Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.
atha yīśo rbuddhiḥ śarīrañca tathā tasmin īśvarasya mānavānāñcānugraho varddhitum ārebhe|
