< Luke 1 >
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
हे जनाब थियुफिलुस, घणखरयां माणसां नै म्हारै बिचाळै घटी बात्तां का ब्यौरा लिखण की कोशिश करी सै।
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
शरुआत तै ए जो यीशु मसीह की सेवकाई म्ह साथ थे अर वे बाद म्ह वचन के सेवक बणगे, उननै ए आँखां देक्खी बात म्हारे ताहीं बताई।
3 it seemed good to me also, having accurately traced up all things from the first, to write to thee a connected account, most excellent Theophilus,
इस करकै हे जनाब थियुफिलुस, मन्नै भी यो ठीक लाग्या के उन सारी बात्तां का सारा हाल शरु तै आच्छी दाहूं परख कै, उननै तेरे खात्तर क्रमानुसार लिखूँ
4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
के तू या जाण ले के वो बात जिनकी तन्नै शिक्षा पाई सै, वो सच्ची सै।
5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zachariah, of the course of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
यहूदिया परदेस कै राजा हेरोदेस कै बखत म्ह अबिय्याह कै टोळ म्ह जकरयाह नाम का एक याजक था, अर उसकी घरआळी का नाम एलीशिबा था, अर दोन्नु हारुन की पीढ़ी के थे।
6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
वे दोन्नु परमेसवर कै स्याम्ही धर्मी थे, अर प्रभु कै सारे हुकम अर नियमां पै बेखोट चालण आळे थे।
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years.
पर उनकै कोए भी ऊलाद कोनी थी, क्यूँके एलीशिबा बाँझ थी, अर वे दोन्नु ए बूढ़े थे।
8 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
एक दिन मन्दर म्ह जिब याजक के काम की बारी जकरयाह के टोळ की आई, तो वो परमेसवर कै स्याम्ही पूजा करण खात्तर ओड़ै मौजूद था,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood the lot fell to him to go into the temple of the Lord and burn the incense.
तो याजकां की रीत कै मुताबिक उसकै नाम की चिट्ठी लिकड़ी के प्रभु कै मन्दर म्ह जाकै धूप जळावै।
10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
धूप जळाण कै बखत माणसां की भीड़ बाहरणै आँगण म्ह प्रार्थना करै थी।
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
उस बखत प्रभु का एक सुर्गदूत धूप की वेदी कै सोळी ओड़ खड्या दिख्या।
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
जकरयाह देखकै घबराग्या अर घणा डरग्या।
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name John.
पर सुर्गदूत उसतै बोल्या, “हे जकरयाह, डरै ना, क्यूँके परमेसवर नै तेरी प्रार्थना सुणली सै, अर तेरी घरआळी एलीशिबा तेरे खात्तर एक बेट्टा जाम्मैगी, अर तू उसका नाम यूहन्ना धरिये।
14 And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
वो तेरे ताहीं तो आनन्द अर खुशी देवैएगा, साथ म्ह भोत-से माणस भी उसकै जन्म तै राज्जी होवैगें।
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and will drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his very birth.
क्यूँके वो प्रभु कै स्याम्ही घणा महान् होगा, अर उस ताहीं कदे भी मदिरा, नशीली चीज न्ही पीणी सै, अर अपणी माँ की कोख तै ए पवित्र आत्मा तै भर ज्यागा।
16 And many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
अर इस्राएल के भोत-से माणसां के मन प्रभु परमेसवर की ओड़ मोड़ देवैगा।
17 And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.
यूहन्ना एलिय्याह नबी की आत्मा अर सामर्थ म्ह भरा होगा, अर वो परमेसवर के राह नै तैयार करैगा, वो माँ-बाप का मन बाळकां की ओड़ मोड़ देवैगा। हुकम ना मानण आळे अधर्मियाँ की सोच नै धर्मियाँ की सोच म्ह बदल देवैगा।”
18 And Zachariah said to the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years.
जकरयाह नै सुर्गदूत तै बुझया, “इस बात का मै किस तरियां बिश्वास करुँ? के यो म्हारे गैल होवैगा, क्यूँके मै तो बूढ़ा सूं, अर मेरी घरआळी भी बूढ़ी होरी सै।”
19 And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee these glad tidings.
सुर्गदूत नै उसतै जवाब दिया, “मै जिब्राईल सूं, जो परमेसवर कै आग्गै खड्या रहूँ सूं, अर मै तेरे तै बात करण अर सुसमाचार देण खात्तर भेज्या सूं।
20 And lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, until the day when these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their season.
अर देख जिब ताहीं ये बात पूरी ना हो लेंगी, तू गूँगा रहवैगा अर बोल न्ही पावैगा क्यूँके तन्नै मेरी बात्तां का बिश्वास न्ही करया, जो अपणे बखत पै पूरी होंगी।”
21 And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
बाहर जकरयाह की बाट देक्खण आळे माणस अचम्भे म्ह पड़गे, कै उसनै मन्दर म्ह इतनी वार क्यूँ लाग्गी।
22 And on coming out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he was beckoning to them, and remained speechless.
जिब वो बाहर आया, तो उन ताहीं बोल न्ही पाया आखर वो जाणगे कै उसनै मन्दर म्ह कोए दर्शन पाया सै, अर वो उन ताहीं इशारे करदा रह्या, अर गूँगा होग्या।
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
जिब उसकी याजकीय सेवा कै दिन पूरे होए, तो वो यरुशलेम नगर नै छोड़ अपणे घरां चल्या गया।
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
कई दिनां पाच्छै उसकी घरआळी एलीशिबा गर्भवती होग्यी, अर पाँच महिन्ने तैई अपणे-आप ताहीं ल्हकोए राख्या,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.
उसनै अपणे-आप तै कह्या, प्रभु नै इन दिनां म्ह दया की मेहर करकै मेरै खात्तर इसा करया सै, “के माणसां के बीच म्ह मेरा अपमान दूर हो।”
26 And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
एलीशिबा कै छठा महिन्ना चढ़ रह्या था, परमेसवर की ओड़ तै जिब्राईल सुर्गदूत, गलील परदेस कै नासरत नगर म्ह,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
एक कुँवारी कै धोरै भेज्या जिसकी सगाई यूसुफ नाम कै दाऊद कै घराने कै एक माणस तै होई थी, उस कुँवारी का नाम मरियम था।
28 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
जिब्राईल सुर्गदूत नै उसके धोरै आकै कह्या, “आनन्द अर जयजयकार तेरी हो तेरे पै ईश्वर का अनुग्रह होया सै! प्रभु तेरे गेल्या सै!”
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
मरियम या बात सुणकै भोत घबरा ग्यी, अर सोच म्ह पड़गी कै इन बात्तां का के मतलब हो सकै सै?
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
सुर्गदूत नै उसतै कह्या, “हे मरियम, डरै ना, क्यूँके परमेसवर का अनुग्रह तेरे पै होया सै।
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
अर देख, तू गर्भवती होगी, अर तेरे एक छोरा पैदा होगा, तू उसका नाम यीशु धरिये।
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father;
वो महान् होगा अर परमप्रधान का बेट्टा कुह्वावैगा, अर प्रभु परमेसवर उसकै पूर्वज दाऊद का सिंहासन उसनै देवैगा,
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn )
अर वो इस्राएल कै घराने पै सदा राज करैगा, अर उसकै राज्य का अंत न्ही होगा।” (aiōn )
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
मरियम नै सुर्गदूत तै कह्या, “यो किस तरियां होगा। मै तो कुँवारी सूं।”
35 And the angel answering said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; wherefore the holy one that is to be born will be called the Son of God.
सुर्गदूत नै उस ताहीं जवाब दिया, “पवित्र आत्मा तेरे पै आवैगा अर परमप्रधान की सामर्थ तेरे पै छाया करैगी, इस खात्तर वो जो बाळक पैदा होण आळा सै, पवित्र अर परमेसवर का बेट्टा कुह्वावैगा।
36 And lo! Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren.
अर सुण, तेरी रिस्तेदार जो एलीशिबा सै उसकै भी बुढ़ापे म्ह बेट्टा होण आळा सै, जो बाँझ कुह्वावै थी यो उसका, छठा महिन्ना सै।
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
क्यूँके परमेसवर खात्तर कुछ भी मुश्किल कोनी सै।”
38 And Mary said, Lo, the handmaid of the Lord! May it be to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
मरियम नै कह्या, “देख, मै प्रभु की दास्सी सूं, मेरै तै तेरे कहैए वचन कै मुताबिक हो।” फेर सुर्गदूत उसके धोरै तै चल्या ग्या।
39 And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
कई दिनां बाद मरियम ताव्ली तैयार होकै पहाड़ी परदेस के यहूदा नगर म्ह ग्यी,
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
अर जकरयाह कै घर म्ह जाकै एलीशिबा ताहीं नमस्कार करया।
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
ज्योए एलीशिबा नै मरियम का नमस्कार सुण्या, त्योंए बाळक उसके पेट म्ह उछळ्या, अर एलीशिबा पवित्र आत्मा तै भरगी।
42 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
अर उसनै ऊँच्ची आवाज म्ह बोलकै कह्या, “तू बिरबानियाँ म्ह धन्य सै, अर तेरी कोख का फळ धन्य सै!
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
मै खुशनसीब सूं जो प्रभु की माँ मेरै धोरै मिलण खात्तर आई?
44 For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
देख, ज्योए तेरे नमस्कार का बोल मेरै कान्ना म्ह पड्या, त्योंए बाळक मेरै पेट म्ह खुशी तै उछळ पड्या।
45 And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
धन्य सै तू क्यूँके तन्नै बिश्वास करया कै जो बात प्रभु नै तेरे ताहीं कही, वे पूरी होई!”
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
फेर मरियम नै कह्या, “मेरा जी प्रभु की बड़ाई करै सै
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
अर मेरी आत्मा मेरै उद्धार करण आळे परमेसवर तै खुश होई,”
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
“क्यूँके उसनै अपणी दास्सी की लाचारी पै निगांह करी सै, इस खात्तर देक्खो, इब तै सारे युग-युग कै माणस मन्नै धन्य कहवैगें,”
49 for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
“क्यूँके उस शक्तिशाली नै मेरै खात्तर बड़े-बड़े काम करै सै। उसका नाम पवित्र सै,”
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
“अर उसकी दया उनपै, जो उसतै डरै सै, पीढ़ी तै पीढ़ी बणी रहवैं सै।”
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
“उसनै अपणी शक्ति तै बड़े-बड़े काम करै सै, अर जो अपणे-आप म्ह घमण्ड करै थे, उन ताहीं तित्तर-बितर कर दिया।”
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
“उसनै शासकां ताहीं उनकै सिंहासनां पै तै गिरा दिया, अर नम्र लोग्गां ताहीं ऊँच्चा उठा दिया।”
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
“उसनै भूख्या ताहीं बढ़िया चिज्जां तै छिकाया सै, अर साहूकारां ताहीं खाल्ली हाथ भेज दिया।”
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy
“उसनै अपणे सेवक इस्राएल ताहीं सम्भाल लिया, ताके अपणी उस दया नै याद करै,”
55 toward Abraham and his offspring for ever, as he spoke to our fathers. (aiōn )
“जो उसनै अब्राहम अर उसकी पीढ़ी पै सदा खात्तर दया करण का वादा करया सै।” (aiōn )
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
मरियम करीब तीन महिन्ने उसकै गेल्या रहकै उल्टी अपणे घरां चली ग्यी।
57 Now Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
फेर एलीशिबा कै दिन पूरे होए अर उसनै बेट्टा जाम्या।
58 And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her.
उसके पड़ोसी अर रिश्तेदारां नै या सुणकै के प्रभु नै उसपै बड़ी दया करी सै, उसकै गेल्या खुशी मनाई,
59 And it came to pass that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they were about to call him Zachariah, after the name of his father.
आठवे दिन वे बाळक का खतना करण ताहीं आये, अर उसका नाम उसकै पिता के नाम पै जकरयाह धरणा चाहवै थे।
60 And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
इस पर उसकी माँ एलीशिबा नै जवाब दिया, “ना, इसका नाम यूहन्ना धरो।”
61 And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that is called by this name.
उननै उस ताहीं कह्या, “तेरे रिश्तेदारा म्ह किसे का यो नाम न्ही सै!”
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
फेर उसकै पिता तै इशारा करकै पूच्छया कै तू उसका नाम कै धरणा चाहवै सै?
63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
उसनै लिखण की पट्टी पै लिख दिया, “उसका नाम यूहन्ना सै,” अर सारा नै अचम्भा होया।
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God.
फेर उसकी आवाज बोहड़ आई, अर वो बोल्लण अर परमेसवर का धन्यवाद करण लाग्या।
65 And fear came on all that dwelt around them; and all these things were talked of throughout the whole of the hill-country of Judaea.
उसके लोवै-धोरै कै सब रहण आळे डरगे, अर उन सारी बात्तां की चर्चा यहूदिया परदेस कै सारे पहाड़ी देश म्ह फैलगी,
66 And all that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
अर सब सुणण आळा नै अपणे-अपणे मन म्ह विचार करकै कह्या, “यो बाळक किसा होगा?” क्यूँके प्रभु की शक्ति उसकै साथ सै।
67 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
उसका पिता जकरयाह पवित्र आत्मा तै भरग्या, अर भविष्यवाणी करण लाग्या:
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
“प्रभु इस्राएल का परमेसवर धन्य सै, क्यूँके उसनै अपणे माणसां पै निगांह करी अर उनका उद्धार करया सै,
69 and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
अर अपणे दास दाऊद कै घराने म्ह म्हारै खात्तर एक शक्तिशाली उद्धारकर्ता ताहीं भेज्या सै,
70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets of old, (aiōn )
(भोत पैहले प्रभु नै अपणे पवित्र नबियाँ कै जरिये यो कह्या था) (aiōn )
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
के वो हमनै दुश्मनां तै बचावैगा अर मेरे तै नफरत करण आळे की ताकत तै भी हमनै बचावैगा।
72 to accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
उसनै कह्या, के वो म्हारै पूर्वजां पै दया करैगा अर अपणे पवित्र करार नै याद राक्खैगा,
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
अर वो करार जो उसनै म्हारै पूर्वज अब्राहम तै करया था,
74 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear,
उसनै वादा करया सै, के वो म्हारे दुश्मनां कै हाथ तै हमनै छुड़ावैगा,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
ताके जिन्दगी भर उसकै आग्गै पवित्रता अर धार्मिकता तै बिना डरें उसकी सेवा कर सकां।
76 And thou, child, shalt be called a prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go in advance before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
हे मेरे बेट्टे, तू परमप्रधान का नबी कुह्वावैगा, क्यूँके तू प्रभु का रास्ता त्यार करण कै खात्तर आग्गै-आग्गै चाल्लैगा,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins
तू उसकै माणसां नै उद्धार का ज्ञान देगा, जो पापां की माफी तै मिलै सै।
78 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
यो म्हारे परमेसवर की उस बड़ी दया तै होगा। जिस तरियां सूरज चमकै सै, उसी तरियां मसीहा भी सुर्ग तै म्हारे धोरै आवैगा
79 to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
ताके अन्धेरे अर मौत की छाया म्ह बैठण आळा नै रोशनी दे, वा रोशनी सही राह पै चाल्लण म्ह म्हारी मदद करैगी।”
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
अर बाळक यूहन्ना देह अर आत्मा म्ह मजबूत होन्दा गया, अर इस्राएल के माणसां पै जाहिर होण तै पैहले वो जंगल-बियाबान म्ह रह्या।
