Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be registered.
aparañca tasmin kāle rājyasya sarvveṣāṁ lokānāṁ nāmāni lekhayitum agastakaisara ājñāpayāmāsa|
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
tadanusāreṇa kurīṇiyanāmani suriyādeśasya śāsake sati nāmalekhanaṁ prārebhe|
3 And all went to be registered, each to 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 Judaea, to 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 registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
yihūdāpradeśasya baitlehamākhyaṁ dāyūdnagaraṁ jagāma|
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
anyacca tatra sthāne tayostiṣṭhatoḥ sato rmariyamaḥ prasūtikāla upasthite
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swathing-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, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
anantaraṁ ye kiyanto meṣapālakāḥ svameṣavrajarakṣāyai tatpradeśe sthitvā rajanyāṁ prāntare prahariṇaḥ karmma kurvvanti,
9 And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.
teṣāṁ samīpaṁ parameśvarasya dūta āgatyopatasthau; tadā catuṣpārśve parameśvarasya tejasaḥ prakāśitatvāt te'tiśaśaṅkire|
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not; for lo! I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to the whole people;
tadā sa dūta uvāca mā bhaiṣṭa paśyatādya dāyūdaḥ pure yuṣmannimittaṁ trātā prabhuḥ khrīṣṭo'janiṣṭa,
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
sarvveṣāṁ lokānāṁ mahānandajanakam imaṁ maṅgalavṛttāntaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmi|
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-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 among men of good will!”
sarvvordvvasthairīśvarasya mahimā samprakāśyatāṁ| śāntirbhūyāt pṛthivyāstu santoṣaśca narān prati||
15 And it came to pass, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said one to another, Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see that which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath 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 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
paścāt te tūrṇaṁ vrajitvā mariyamaṁ yūṣaphaṁ gośālāyāṁ śayanaṁ bālakañca dadṛśuḥ|
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
itthaṁ dṛṣṭvā bālakasyārthe proktāṁ sarvvakathāṁ te prācārayāñcakruḥ|
18 And all who heard wondered at the 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 which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
tatpaścād dūtavijñaptānurūpaṁ śrutvā dṛṣṭvā ca meṣapālakā īśvarasya guṇānuvādaṁ dhanyavādañca kurvvāṇāḥ parāvṛtya yayuḥ|
21 And when eight days were completed for him to be circumcised, his name was 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 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 first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
"prathamajaḥ sarvvaḥ puruṣasantānaḥ parameśvare samarpyatāṁ," iti parameśvarasya vyavasthayā
24 and to offer a sacrifice, according to what is directed in the law of the Lord: “A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.”
yīśuṁ parameśvare samarpayitum śāstrīyavidhyuktaṁ kapotadvayaṁ pārāvataśāvakadvayaṁ vā baliṁ dātuṁ te taṁ gṛhītvā yirūśālamam āyayuḥ|
25 And lo! there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and he was a righteous and devout man, waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him;
yirūśālampuranivāsī śimiyonnāmā dhārmmika eka āsīt sa isrāyelaḥ sāntvanāmapekṣya tasthau kiñca pavitra ātmā tasminnāvirbhūtaḥ|
26 and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
aparaṁ prabhuṇā parameśvareṇābhiṣikte trātari tvayā na dṛṣṭe tvaṁ na mariṣyasīti vākyaṁ pavitreṇa ātmanā tasma prākathyata|
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
aparañca yadā yīśoḥ pitā mātā ca tadarthaṁ vyavasthānurūpaṁ karmma karttuṁ taṁ mandiram āninyatustadā
28 he took him 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 the peoples;
isrāyelīyalokasya mahāgauravarūpakaṁ|
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
yaṁ trāyakaṁ janānāntu sammukhe tvamajījanaḥ| saeva vidyate'smākaṁ dhravaṁ nayananagocare||
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
tadānīṁ tenoktā etāḥ sakalāḥ kathāḥ śrutvā tasya mātā yūṣaph ca vismayaṁ menāte|
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that will 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 will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
tasmāt tavāpi prāṇāḥ śūlena vyatsyante|
36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel: of the tribe of Asher; she was of great age, and had 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 she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
mandire sthitvā prārthanopavāsairdivāniśam īśvaram asevata sāpi strī tasmin samaye mandiramāgatya
38 And she came up at this very time, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all that were looking for the redemption of 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 to 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, being 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 used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
tasya pitā mātā ca prativarṣaṁ nistārotsavasamaye yirūśālamam agacchatām|
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
aparañca yīśau dvādaśavarṣavayaske sati tau parvvasamayasya rītyanusāreṇa yirūśālamaṁ gatvā
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
pārvvaṇaṁ sampādya punarapi vyāghuyya yātaḥ kintu yīśurbālako yirūśālami tiṣṭhati| yūṣaph tanmātā ca tad aviditvā
44 but, supposing him to be 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 not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of 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 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 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
tadā tasya buddhyā pratyuttaraiśca sarvve śrotāro vismayamāpadyante|
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed; and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have been seeking thee in much 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 And he said to them, Why is it that ye have been seeking me? Did ye not know 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 what he spoke to them.
kintu tau tasyaitadvākyasya tātparyyaṁ boddhuṁ nāśaknutāṁ|
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these things 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 favor with God and men.
atha yīśo rbuddhiḥ śarīrañca tathā tasmin īśvarasya mānavānāñcānugraho varddhitum ārebhe|
