Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
aparañca tasmin kāle rājyasya sarvveṣāṁ lokānāṁ nāmāni lekhayitum agastakaisara ājñāpayāmāsa|
2 ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
tadanusāreṇa kurīṇiyanāmani suriyādeśasya śāsake sati nāmalekhanaṁ prārebhe|
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
ato heto rnāma lekhituṁ sarvve janāḥ svīyaṁ svīyaṁ nagaraṁ jagmuḥ|
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David: )
tadānīṁ yūṣaph nāma lekhituṁ vāgdattayā svabhāryyayā garbbhavatyā mariyamā saha svayaṁ dāyūdaḥ sajātivaṁśa iti kāraṇād gālīlpradeśasya nāsaratnagarād
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
yihūdāpradeśasya baitlehamākhyaṁ dāyūdnagaraṁ jagāma|
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
anyacca tatra sthāne tayostiṣṭhatoḥ sato rmariyamaḥ prasūtikāla upasthite
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
sā taṁ prathamasutaṁ prāsoṣṭa kintu tasmin vāsagṛhe sthānābhāvād bālakaṁ vastreṇa veṣṭayitvā gośālāyāṁ sthāpayāmāsa|
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
anantaraṁ ye kiyanto meṣapālakāḥ svameṣavrajarakṣāyai tatpradeśe sthitvā rajanyāṁ prāntare prahariṇaḥ karmma kurvvanti,
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
teṣāṁ samīpaṁ parameśvarasya dūta āgatyopatasthau; tadā catuṣpārśve parameśvarasya tejasaḥ prakāśitatvāt te'tiśaśaṅkire|
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
tadā sa dūta uvāca mā bhaiṣṭa paśyatādya dāyūdaḥ pure yuṣmannimittaṁ trātā prabhuḥ khrīṣṭo'janiṣṭa,
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
sarvveṣāṁ lokānāṁ mahānandajanakam imaṁ maṅgalavṛttāntaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmi|
12 And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
yūyaṁ (tatsthānaṁ gatvā) vastraveṣṭitaṁ taṁ bālakaṁ gośālāyāṁ 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 pṛtanā āgatya kathām imāṁ kathayitveśvarasya guṇānanvavādiṣuḥ, yathā,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
sarvvordvvasthairīśvarasya mahimā samprakāśyatāṁ| śāntirbhūyāt pṛthivyāstu santoṣaśca narān prati||
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
tataḥ paraṁ teṣāṁ sannidhe rdūtagaṇe svargaṁ gate meṣapālakāḥ parasparam avecan āgacchata prabhuḥ parameśvaro yāṁ ghaṭanāṁ jñāpitavān tasyā yātharyaṁ jñātuṁ vayamadhunā baitlehampuraṁ yāmaḥ|
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
paścāt te tūrṇaṁ vrajitvā mariyamaṁ yūṣaphaṁ gośālāyāṁ śayanaṁ bālakañca dadṛśuḥ|
17 And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
itthaṁ dṛṣṭvā bālakasyārthe proktāṁ sarvvakathāṁ te prācārayāñcakruḥ|
18 And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
tato ye lokā meṣarakṣakāṇāṁ vadanebhyastāṁ vārttāṁ śuśruvuste mahāścaryyaṁ menire|
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart.
kintu mariyam etatsarvvaghaṭanānāṁ tātparyyaṁ vivicya manasi sthāpayāmāsa|
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
tatpaścād dūtavijñaptānurūpaṁ śrutvā dṛṣṭvā ca meṣapālakā īśvarasya guṇānuvādaṁ dhanyavādañca kurvvāṇāḥ parāvṛtya yayuḥ|
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of 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 her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present [him] to the Lord;
tataḥ paraṁ mūsālikhitavyavasthāyā anusāreṇa mariyamaḥ śucitvakāla upasthite,
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
"prathamajaḥ sarvvaḥ puruṣasantānaḥ parameśvare samarpyatāṁ," iti parameśvarasya vyavasthayā
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
yīśuṁ parameśvare samarpayitum śāstrīyavidhyuktaṁ kapotadvayaṁ pārāvataśāvakadvayaṁ vā baliṁ dātuṁ te taṁ gṛhītvā yirūśālamam āyayuḥ|
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [was] Simeon; and the same man [was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
yirūśālampuranivāsī śimiyonnāmā dhārmmika eka āsīt sa isrāyelaḥ sāntvanāmapekṣya tasthau kiñca pavitra ātmā tasminnāvirbhūtaḥ|
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
aparaṁ prabhuṇā parameśvareṇābhiṣikte trātari tvayā na dṛṣṭe tvaṁ na mariṣyasīti vākyaṁ pavitreṇa ātmanā tasma prākathyata|
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
aparañca yadā yīśoḥ pitā mātā ca tadarthaṁ vyavasthānurūpaṁ karmma karttuṁ taṁ mandiram āninyatustadā
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
śimiyon ātmana ākarṣaṇena mandiramāgatya taṁ kroḍe nidhāya īśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ kṛtvā kathayāmāsa, yathā,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
he prabho tava dāsoyaṁ nijavākyānusārataḥ| idānīntu sakalyāṇo bhavatā saṁvisṛjyatām|
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
yataḥ sakaladeśasya dīptaye dīptirūpakaṁ|
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
isrāyelīyalokasya mahāgauravarūpakaṁ|
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
yaṁ trāyakaṁ janānāntu sammukhe tvamajījanaḥ| saeva vidyate'smākaṁ dhravaṁ nayananagocare||
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
tadānīṁ tenoktā etāḥ sakalāḥ kathāḥ śrutvā tasya mātā yūṣaph ca vismayaṁ menāte|
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be 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, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
tasmāt tavāpi prāṇāḥ śūlena vyatsyante|
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an 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 she [was] a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and prayers night and day.
mandire sthitvā prārthanopavāsairdivāniśam īśvaram asevata sāpi strī tasmin samaye mandiramāgatya
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
parameśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ cakāra, yirūśālampuravāsino yāvanto lokā muktimapekṣya sthitāstān yīśorvṛttāntaṁ jñāpayāmāsa|
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
itthaṁ parameśvarasya vyavasthānusāreṇa sarvveṣu karmmasu kṛteṣu tau punaśca gālīlo nāsaratnāmakaṁ nijanagaraṁ pratasthāte|
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
tatpaścād bālakaḥ śarīreṇa vṛddhimetya jñānena paripūrṇa ātmanā śaktimāṁśca bhavitumārebhe tathā tasmin īśvarānugraho babhūva|
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
tasya pitā mātā ca prativarṣaṁ nistārotsavasamaye yirūśālamam agacchatām|
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
aparañca yīśau dvādaśavarṣavayaske sati tau parvvasamayasya rītyanusāreṇa yirūśālamaṁ gatvā
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not [of it].
pārvvaṇaṁ sampādya punarapi vyāghuyya yātaḥ kintu yīśurbālako yirūśālami tiṣṭhati| yūṣaph tanmātā ca tad aviditvā
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among [their] kinsfolk 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 back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
tau punarapi yirūśālamam parāvṛtyāgatya taṁ mṛgayāñcakratuḥ|
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, 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 astonished at his understanding and answers.
tadā tasya buddhyā pratyuttaraiśca sarvve śrotāro vismayamāpadyante|
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
tādṛśaṁ dṛṣṭvā tasya janako jananī ca camaccakratuḥ kiñca tasya mātā tamavadat, he putra, kathamāvāṁ pratītthaṁ samācarastvam? paśya tava pitāhañca śokākulau santau tvāmanvicchāvaḥ sma|
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
tataḥ sovadat kuto mām anvaicchataṁ? piturgṛhe mayā sthātavyam etat kiṁ yuvābhyāṁ na jñāyate?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
kintu tau tasyaitadvākyasya tātparyyaṁ boddhuṁ nāśaknutāṁ|
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but 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 increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
atha yīśo rbuddhiḥ śarīrañca tathā tasmin īśvarasya mānavānāñcānugraho varddhitum ārebhe|
