< 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.
اَپَرَنْچَ تَسْمِنْ کالے راجْیَسْیَ سَرْوّیشاں لوکاناں نامانِ لیکھَیِتُمْ اَگَسْتَکَیسَرَ آجْناپَیاماسَ۔
2 ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
تَدَنُسارینَ کُرِینِیَنامَنِ سُرِیادیشَسْیَ شاسَکے سَتِ نامَلیکھَنَں پْراریبھے۔
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
اَتو ہیتو رْنامَ لیکھِتُں سَرْوّے جَناح سْوِییَں سْوِییَں نَگَرَں جَگْمُح۔
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: )
تَدانِیں یُوشَپھْ نامَ لیکھِتُں واگْدَتَّیا سْوَبھارْیَّیا گَرْبّھَوَتْیا مَرِیَما سَہَ سْوَیَں دایُودَح سَجاتِوَںشَ اِتِ کارَنادْ گالِیلْپْرَدیشَسْیَ ناسَرَتْنَگَرادْ
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
یِہُوداپْرَدیشَسْیَ بَیتْلیہَماکھْیَں دایُودْنَگَرَں جَگامَ۔
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
اَنْیَچَّ تَتْرَ سْتھانے تَیوسْتِشْٹھَتوح سَتو رْمَرِیَمَح پْرَسُوتِکالَ اُپَسْتھِتی
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.
سا تَں پْرَتھَمَسُتَں پْراسوشْٹَ کِنْتُ تَسْمِنْ واسَگرِہے سْتھانابھاوادْ بالَکَں وَسْتْرینَ ویشْٹَیِتْوا گوشالایاں سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
اَنَنْتَرَں یے کِیَنْتو میشَپالَکاح سْوَمیشَوْرَجَرَکْشایَے تَتْپْرَدیشے سْتھِتْوا رَجَنْیاں پْرانْتَرے پْرَہَرِنَح کَرْمَّ کُرْوَّنْتِ،
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.
تیشاں سَمِیپَں پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دُوتَ آگَتْیوپَتَسْتھَو؛ تَدا چَتُشْپارْشْوے پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ تیجَسَح پْرَکاشِتَتْواتْ تےتِشَشَنْکِرے۔
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.
تَدا سَ دُوتَ اُواچَ ما بھَیشْٹَ پَشْیَتادْیَ دایُودَح پُرے یُشْمَنِّمِتَّں تْراتا پْرَبھُح کھْرِیشْٹوجَنِشْٹَ،
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
سَرْوّیشاں لوکاناں مَہانَنْدَجَنَکَمْ اِمَں مَنْگَلَورِتّانْتَں یُشْمانْ جْناپَیامِ۔
12 And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
یُویَں (تَتْسْتھانَں گَتْوا) وَسْتْرَویشْٹِتَں تَں بالَکَں گوشالایاں شَیَنَں دْرَکْشْیَتھَ یُشْمانْ پْرَتِیدَں چِہْنَں بھَوِشْیَتِ۔
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
دُوتَ اِماں کَتھاں کَتھِتَوَتِ تَتْراکَسْماتْ سْوَرْگِییاح پرِتَنا آگَتْیَ کَتھامْ اِماں کَتھَیِتْویشْوَرَسْیَ گُنانَنْوَوادِشُح، یَتھا،
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
سَرْوّورْدْوَّسْتھَیرِیشْوَرَسْیَ مَہِما سَمْپْرَکاشْیَتاں۔ شانْتِرْبھُویاتْ پرِتھِوْیاسْتُ سَنْتوشَشْچَ نَرانْ پْرَتِ۔۔
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.
تَتَح پَرَں تیشاں سَنِّدھے رْدُوتَگَنے سْوَرْگَں گَتے میشَپالَکاح پَرَسْپَرَمْ اَویچَنْ آگَچّھَتَ پْرَبھُح پَرَمیشْوَرو یاں گھَٹَناں جْناپِتَوانْ تَسْیا یاتھَرْیَں جْناتُں وَیَمَدھُنا بَیتْلیہَمْپُرَں یامَح۔
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
پَشْچاتْ تے تُورْنَں وْرَجِتْوا مَرِیَمَں یُوشَپھَں گوشالایاں شَیَنَں بالَکَنْچَ دَدرِشُح۔
17 And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
اِتّھَں درِشْٹْوا بالَکَسْیارْتھے پْروکْتاں سَرْوَّکَتھاں تے پْراچارَیانْچَکْرُح۔
18 And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
تَتو یے لوکا میشَرَکْشَکاناں وَدَنیبھْیَسْتاں وارْتّاں شُشْرُوُسْتے مَہاشْچَرْیَّں مینِرے۔
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart.
کِنْتُ مَرِیَمْ ایتَتْسَرْوَّگھَٹَناناں تاتْپَرْیَّں وِوِچْیَ مَنَسِ سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔
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.
تَتْپَشْچادْ دُوتَوِجْنَپْتانُرُوپَں شْرُتْوا درِشْٹْوا چَ میشَپالَکا اِیشْوَرَسْیَ گُنانُوادَں دھَنْیَوادَنْچَ کُرْوّاناح پَراورِتْیَ یَیُح۔
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.
اَتھَ بالَکَسْیَ تْوَکْچھیدَنَکالےشْٹَمَدِوَسے سَمُپَسْتھِتے تَسْیَ گَرْبّھَسْتھِتیح پُرْوَّں سْوَرْگِییَدُوتو یَتھاجْناپَیَتْ تَدَنُرُوپَں تے تَنّامَدھییَں یِیشُرِتِ چَکْرِرے۔
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;
تَتَح پَرَں مُوسالِکھِتَوْیَوَسْتھایا اَنُسارینَ مَرِیَمَح شُچِتْوَکالَ اُپَسْتھِتے،
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
"پْرَتھَمَجَح سَرْوَّح پُرُشَسَنْتانَح پَرَمیشْوَرے سَمَرْپْیَتاں،" اِتِ پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ وْیَوَسْتھَیا
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.
یِیشُں پَرَمیشْوَرے سَمَرْپَیِتُمْ شاسْتْرِییَوِدھْیُکْتَں کَپوتَدْوَیَں پاراوَتَشاوَکَدْوَیَں وا بَلِں داتُں تے تَں گرِہِیتْوا یِرُوشالَمَمْ آیَیُح۔
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.
یِرُوشالَمْپُرَنِواسِی شِمِیونّاما دھارْمِّکَ ایکَ آسِیتْ سَ اِسْراییلَح سانْتْوَنامَپیکْشْیَ تَسْتھَو کِنْچَ پَوِتْرَ آتْما تَسْمِنّاوِرْبھُوتَح۔
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.
اَپَرَں پْرَبھُنا پَرَمیشْوَرینابھِشِکْتے تْراتَرِ تْوَیا نَ درِشْٹے تْوَں نَ مَرِشْیَسِیتِ واکْیَں پَوِتْرینَ آتْمَنا تَسْمَ پْراکَتھْیَتَ۔
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,
اَپَرَنْچَ یَدا یِیشوح پِتا ماتا چَ تَدَرْتھَں وْیَوَسْتھانُرُوپَں کَرْمَّ کَرْتُّں تَں مَنْدِرَمْ آنِنْیَتُسْتَدا
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
شِمِیونْ آتْمَنَ آکَرْشَنینَ مَنْدِرَماگَتْیَ تَں کْروڈے نِدھایَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ دھَنْیَوادَں کرِتْوا کَتھَیاماسَ، یَتھا،
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
ہے پْرَبھو تَوَ داسویَں نِجَواکْیانُسارَتَح۔ اِدانِینْتُ سَکَلْیانو بھَوَتا سَںوِسرِجْیَتامْ۔
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
یَتَح سَکَلَدیشَسْیَ دِیپْتَیے دِیپْتِرُوپَکَں۔
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
اِسْراییلِییَلوکَسْیَ مَہاگَورَوَرُوپَکَں۔
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
یَں تْرایَکَں جَنانانْتُ سَمُّکھے تْوَمَجِیجَنَح۔ سَایوَ وِدْیَتےسْماکَں دھْرَوَں نَیَنَنَگوچَرے۔۔
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
تَدانِیں تینوکْتا ایتاح سَکَلاح کَتھاح شْرُتْوا تَسْیَ ماتا یُوشَپھْ چَ وِسْمَیَں میناتے۔
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;
تَتَح پَرَں شِمِیونْ تیبھْیَ آشِشَں دَتّوا تَنْماتَرَں مَرِیَمَمْ اُواچَ، پَشْیَ اِسْراییلو وَںشَمَدھْیے بَہُوناں پاتَنایوتّھاپَنایَ چَ تَتھا وِرودھَپاتْرَں بھَوِتُں، بَہُوناں گُپْتَمَنوگَتاناں پْرَکَٹِیکَرَنایَ بالَکویَں نِیُکْتوسْتِ۔
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
تَسْماتْ تَواپِ پْراناح شُولینَ وْیَتْسْیَنْتے۔
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;
اَپَرَنْچَ آشیرَسْیَ وَںشِییَپھِنُوییلو دُہِتا ہَنّاکھْیا اَتِجَرَتِی بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنْییکا یا وِواہاتْ پَرَں سَپْتَ وَتْسَرانْ پَتْیا سَہَ نْیَوَسَتْ تَتو وِدھَوا بھُوتْوا چَتُرَشِیتِوَرْشَوَیَحپَرْیَّنَتَں
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.
مَنْدِرے سْتھِتْوا پْرارْتھَنوپَواسَیرْدِوانِشَمْ اِیشْوَرَمْ اَسیوَتَ ساپِ سْتْرِی تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے مَنْدِرَماگَتْیَ
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.
پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دھَنْیَوادَں چَکارَ، یِرُوشالَمْپُرَواسِنو یاوَنْتو لوکا مُکْتِمَپیکْشْیَ سْتھِتاسْتانْ یِیشورْورِتّانْتَں جْناپَیاماسَ۔
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
اِتّھَں پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ وْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ سَرْوّیشُ کَرْمَّسُ کرِتیشُ تَو پُنَشْچَ گالِیلو ناسَرَتْنامَکَں نِجَنَگَرَں پْرَتَسْتھاتے۔
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
تَتْپَشْچادْ بالَکَح شَرِیرینَ ورِدّھِمیتْیَ جْنانینَ پَرِپُورْنَ آتْمَنا شَکْتِماںشْچَ بھَوِتُماریبھے تَتھا تَسْمِنْ اِیشْوَرانُگْرَہو بَبھُووَ۔
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
تَسْیَ پِتا ماتا چَ پْرَتِوَرْشَں نِسْتاروتْسَوَسَمَیے یِرُوشالَمَمْ اَگَچّھَتامْ۔
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
اَپَرَنْچَ یِیشَو دْوادَشَوَرْشَوَیَسْکے سَتِ تَو پَرْوَّسَمَیَسْیَ رِیتْیَنُسارینَ یِرُوشالَمَں گَتْوا
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].
پارْوَّنَں سَمْپادْیَ پُنَرَپِ وْیاگھُیَّ یاتَح کِنْتُ یِیشُرْبالَکو یِرُوشالَمِ تِشْٹھَتِ۔ یُوشَپھْ تَنْماتا چَ تَدْ اَوِدِتْوا
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.
سَ سَنْگِبھِح سَہَ وِدْیَتَ ایتَچَّ بُدْوّا دِنَیکَگَمْیَمارْگَں جَگْمَتُح۔ کِنْتُ شیشے جْناتِبَنْدھُوناں سَمِیپے مرِگَیِتْوا تَدُدّےشَمَپْراپْیَ
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
تَو پُنَرَپِ یِرُوشالَمَمْ پَراورِتْیاگَتْیَ تَں مرِگَیانْچَکْرَتُح۔
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.
اَتھَ دِنَتْرَیاتْ پَرَں پَنْڈِتاناں مَدھْیے تیشاں کَتھاح شرِنْوَنْ تَتّوَں پرِچّھَںشْچَ مَنْدِرے سَمُپَوِشْٹَح سَ تابھْیاں درِشْٹَح۔
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
تَدا تَسْیَ بُدّھیا پْرَتْیُتَّرَیشْچَ سَرْوّے شْروتارو وِسْمَیَماپَدْیَنْتے۔
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.
تادرِشَں درِشْٹْوا تَسْیَ جَنَکو جَنَنِی چَ چَمَچَّکْرَتُح کِنْچَ تَسْیَ ماتا تَمَوَدَتْ، ہے پُتْرَ، کَتھَماواں پْرَتِیتّھَں سَماچَرَسْتْوَمْ؟ پَشْیَ تَوَ پِتاہَنْچَ شوکاکُلَو سَنْتَو تْوامَنْوِچّھاوَح سْمَ۔
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?
تَتَح سووَدَتْ کُتو مامْ اَنْوَیچّھَتَں؟ پِتُرْگرِہے مَیا سْتھاتَوْیَمْ ایتَتْ کِں یُوابھْیاں نَ جْنایَتے؟
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
کِنْتُ تَو تَسْیَیتَدْواکْیَسْیَ تاتْپَرْیَّں بودّھُں ناشَکْنُتاں۔
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.
تَتَح پَرَں سَ تابھْیاں سَہَ ناسَرَتَں گَتْوا تَیورْوَشِیبھُوتَسْتَسْتھَو کِنْتُ سَرْوّا ایتاح کَتھاسْتَسْیَ ماتا مَنَسِ سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
اَتھَ یِیشو رْبُدّھِح شَرِیرَنْچَ تَتھا تَسْمِنْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مانَوانانْچانُگْرَہو وَرْدّھِتُمْ آریبھے۔
