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 kālē rājyasya sarvvēṣāṁ lōkānāṁ nāmāni lēkhayitum agastakaisara ājñāpayāmāsa|
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
tadanusārēṇa kurīṇiyanāmani suriyādēśasya śāsakē sati nāmalēkhanaṁ prārēbhē|
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
atō hētō rnāma lēkhituṁ sarvvē 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 lēkhituṁ vāgdattayā svabhāryyayā garbbhavatyā mariyamā saha svayaṁ dāyūdaḥ sajātivaṁśa iti kāraṇād gālīlpradēśasya nāsaratnagarād
5 to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
yihūdāpradēśasya baitlēhamākhyaṁ dāyūdnagaraṁ jagāma|
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
anyacca tatra sthānē tayōstiṣṭhatōḥ satō rmariyamaḥ prasūtikāla upasthitē
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 prāsōṣṭa kintu tasmin vāsagr̥hē sthānābhāvād bālakaṁ vastrēṇa vēṣṭayitvā gōśālāyāṁ sthāpayāmāsa|
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
anantaraṁ yē kiyantō mēṣapālakāḥ svamēṣavrajarakṣāyai tatpradēśē sthitvā rajanyāṁ prāntarē 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.
tēṣāṁ samīpaṁ paramēśvarasya dūta āgatyōpatasthau; tadā catuṣpārśvē paramēśvarasya tējasaḥ prakāśitatvāt tē'tiśaśaṅkirē|
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 purē yuṣmannimittaṁ trātā prabhuḥ khrīṣṭō'janiṣṭa,
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
sarvvēṣāṁ lōkānāṁ mahānandajanakam imaṁ maṅgalavr̥ttāntaṁ 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) vastravēṣṭitaṁ taṁ bālakaṁ gōśālāyāṁ 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 pr̥tanā āgatya kathām imāṁ kathayitvēśvarasya guṇānanvavādiṣuḥ, yathā,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
sarvvōrdvvasthairīśvarasya mahimā samprakāśyatāṁ| śāntirbhūyāt pr̥thivyāstu santōṣaśca 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 tēṣāṁ sannidhē rdūtagaṇē svargaṁ gatē mēṣapālakāḥ parasparam avēcan āgacchata prabhuḥ paramēśvarō yāṁ ghaṭanāṁ jñāpitavān tasyā yātharyaṁ jñātuṁ vayamadhunā baitlēhampuraṁ yāmaḥ|
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
paścāt tē tūrṇaṁ vrajitvā mariyamaṁ yūṣaphaṁ gōśālāyāṁ śayanaṁ bālakañca dadr̥śuḥ|
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
itthaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā bālakasyārthē prōktāṁ sarvvakathāṁ tē prācārayāñcakruḥ|
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
tatō yē lōkā mēṣarakṣakāṇāṁ vadanēbhyastāṁ vārttāṁ śuśruvustē mahāścaryyaṁ mēnirē|
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
kintu mariyam ētatsarvvaghaṭanānāṁ 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 dr̥ṣṭvā ca mēṣapālakā īśvarasya guṇānuvādaṁ dhanyavādañca kurvvāṇāḥ parāvr̥tya 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 tvakchēdanakālē'ṣṭamadivasē samupasthitē tasya garbbhasthitēḥ purvvaṁ svargīyadūtō yathājñāpayat tadanurūpaṁ tē tannāmadhēyaṁ yīśuriti cakrirē|
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 anusārēṇa mariyamaḥ śucitvakāla upasthitē,
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 paramēśvarē samarpyatāṁ," iti paramēśvarasya 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 paramēśvarē samarpayitum śāstrīyavidhyuktaṁ kapōtadvayaṁ pārāvataśāvakadvayaṁ vā baliṁ dātuṁ tē taṁ gr̥hītvā 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 śimiyōnnāmā dhārmmika ēka āsīt sa isrāyēlaḥ sāntvanāmapēkṣya 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 paramēśvarēṇābhiṣiktē trātari tvayā na dr̥ṣṭē tvaṁ na mariṣyasīti vākyaṁ pavitrēṇa 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 yīśōḥ pitā mātā ca tadarthaṁ vyavasthānurūpaṁ karmma karttuṁ taṁ mandiram āninyatustadā
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
śimiyōn ātmana ākarṣaṇēna mandiramāgatya taṁ krōḍē nidhāya īśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ kr̥tvā kathayāmāsa, yathā,
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
hē prabhō tava dāsōyaṁ nijavākyānusārataḥ| idānīntu sakalyāṇō bhavatā saṁvisr̥jyatām|
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
yataḥ sakaladēśasya dīptayē dīptirūpakaṁ|
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
isrāyēlīyalōkasya mahāgauravarūpakaṁ|
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
yaṁ trāyakaṁ janānāntu sammukhē tvamajījanaḥ| saēva vidyatē'smākaṁ dhravaṁ nayananagōcarē||
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
tadānīṁ tēnōktā ētāḥ sakalāḥ kathāḥ śrutvā tasya mātā yūṣaph ca vismayaṁ mēnātē|
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 śimiyōn tēbhya āśiṣaṁ dattvā tanmātaraṁ mariyamam uvāca, paśya isrāyēlō vaṁśamadhyē bahūnāṁ pātanāyōtthāpanāya ca tathā virōdhapātraṁ bhavituṁ, bahūnāṁ guptamanōgatānāṁ prakaṭīkaraṇāya bālakōyaṁ niyuktōsti|
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
tasmāt tavāpi prāṇāḥ śūlēna vyatsyantē|
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 āśērasya vaṁśīyaphinūyēlō duhitā hannākhyā atijaratī bhaviṣyadvādinyēkā yā vivāhāt paraṁ sapta vatsarān patyā saha nyavasat tatō 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.
mandirē sthitvā prārthanōpavāsairdivāniśam īśvaram asēvata sāpi strī tasmin samayē 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.
paramēśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ cakāra, yirūśālampuravāsinō yāvantō lōkā muktimapēkṣya sthitāstān yīśōrvr̥ttāntaṁ 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 paramēśvarasya vyavasthānusārēṇa sarvvēṣu karmmasu kr̥tēṣu tau punaśca gālīlō nāsaratnāmakaṁ nijanagaraṁ pratasthātē|
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
tatpaścād bālakaḥ śarīrēṇa vr̥ddhimētya jñānēna paripūrṇa ātmanā śaktimāṁśca bhavitumārēbhē tathā tasmin īśvarānugrahō babhūva|
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
tasya pitā mātā ca prativarṣaṁ nistārōtsavasamayē yirūśālamam agacchatām|
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
aparañca yīśau dvādaśavarṣavayaskē sati tau parvvasamayasya rītyanusārēṇa 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 yīśurbālakō 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 ētacca budvvā dinaikagamyamārgaṁ jagmatuḥ| kintu śēṣē jñātibandhūnāṁ samīpē mr̥gayitvā taduddēśamaprāpya
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
tau punarapi yirūśālamam parāvr̥tyāgatya taṁ mr̥gayāñcakratuḥ|
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 madhyē tēṣāṁ kathāḥ śr̥ṇvan tattvaṁ pr̥cchaṁśca mandirē samupaviṣṭaḥ sa tābhyāṁ dr̥ṣṭaḥ|
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
tadā tasya buddhyā pratyuttaraiśca sarvvē śrōtārō vismayamāpadyantē|
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.
tādr̥śaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tasya janakō jananī ca camaccakratuḥ kiñca tasya mātā tamavadat, hē putra, kathamāvāṁ pratītthaṁ samācarastvam? paśya tava pitāhañca śōkākulau 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 sōvadat kutō mām anvaicchataṁ? piturgr̥hē mayā sthātavyam ētat kiṁ yuvābhyāṁ na jñāyatē?
50 And they understood not what he spoke to them.
kintu tau tasyaitadvākyasya tātparyyaṁ bōddhuṁ 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 tayōrvaśībhūtastasthau kintu sarvvā ētāḥ kathāstasya mātā manasi sthāpayāmāsa|
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
atha yīśō rbuddhiḥ śarīrañca tathā tasmin īśvarasya mānavānāñcānugrahō varddhitum ārēbhē|
