Luke 2
1 About that time the Emperor Augustus commanded that ([his officials must] write down the names/[a census be taken]) of all the people who lived in countries [controlled] by the Roman [government] {that the Roman [government controlled]}, [so that the government could collect taxes from them].
ସେ ସମୟରେ ସମସ୍ତ ସାମ୍ରାଜ୍ୟବାସୀଙ୍କ ନାମ ଲେଖାଯିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ କାଇସର ଅଗଷ୍ଟଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଘୋଷଣା କରାଗଲା।
2 That was the first time that they (wrote down the names/took a census) in Syria [province, which included Judea district]. They did this while Quirinius was the governor of the province.
ସିରିୟା ପ୍ରଦେଶର ଶାସନକର୍ତ୍ତା କ୍ୱିରୀଣୀୟଙ୍କ ସମୟରେ ପ୍ରଥମ ଥର ଏହି ଜନଗଣନା ହୋଇଥିଲା।
3 Every person had to go to the town where his [most famous ancestor] had lived, so that [the officials] could write down their names.
ସେଥିନିମନ୍ତେ ସମସ୍ତେ ନାମ ଲେଖାଇବା ପାଇଁ ଆପଣା ଆପଣା ନଗରକୁ ଯାଉଥିଲେ।
4 So, because Joseph was a descendant of [King] David, he went up from Nazareth, the town in Galilee [district where he lived], to the town of Bethlehem in Judea [district]. That was the town where [King] David [grew up].
ପୁଣି, ଯୋଷେଫ ମଧ୍ୟ ନାମ ଲେଖାଇବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ମରୀୟମଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଗାଲିଲୀର ନାଜରିତ ନଗରରୁ ଯିହୂଦିୟା ପ୍ରଦେଶର ବେଥଲିହିମ ନାମକ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ନଗରକୁ ଗଲେ, କାରଣ ସେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ବଂଶ ଓ ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀର ଲୋକ ଥିଲେ;
5 Joseph went with Mary, who [was considered] {whom [people considered]} [to be] his wife, who was now pregnant. They went so that they could put his name and Mary’s name [in the record book].
ତାହାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ମରୀୟମଙ୍କ ବିବାହ ନିର୍ବନ୍ଧ ହୋଇଥିଲା ଓ ସେ ଗର୍ଭବତୀ ଥିଲେ।
6 When they arrived [in Bethlehem], there was no place for them to stay in the house where travelers stay. [So they stayed in a cattle shed]. When the time for Mary to give birth arrived, she gave birth to her first son there. She wrapped him in strips of cloth and placed him in a trough where [people] put food for the animals.
ସେମାନେ ସେହି ସ୍ଥାନରେ ଥିବା ସମୟରେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପ୍ରସବ କାଳ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲା,
ପୁଣି, ସେ ଆପଣା ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପୁତ୍ର ପ୍ରସବ କଲେ ଏବଂ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଲୁଗାରେ ଗୁଡ଼ାଇ ଗୁହାଳକୁଣ୍ଡରେ ଶୁଆଇଲେ, କାରଣ ବସାଘରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ସ୍ଥାନ ନ ଥିଲା।
8 That night, there were [some] shepherds who were taking care of their sheep [as usual] in the fields near [Bethlehem].
ସେହି ଅଞ୍ଚଳରେ କେତେକ ମେଷପାଳକ ପଦାରେ ରହି ରାତ୍ରିରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମେଷପଲ ଜଗୁଥିଲେ।
9 An angel from God appeared to them. A great light (from the Lord/from God) shone on them and around them. [So] they became very afraid.
ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଜଣେ ଦୂତ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲେ, ପୁଣି, ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଗୌରବର ଆଲୋକ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଚାରିଅାଡ଼େ ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହେଲା, ଆଉ ସେମାନେ ଅତିଶୟ ଭୟଗ୍ରସ୍ତ ହେଲେ।
10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! I have come to tell you good news, which will [make you] very happy! This message is for everyone [to hear].
ସେଥିରେ ଦୂତ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଭୟ କର ନାହିଁ; ଦେଖ, ମୁଁ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକଙ୍କର ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଆନନ୍ଦଜନକ ସୁସମାଚାର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଜଣାଉଅଛି,
11 [The message is that] today a baby has been born in [Bethlehem, the town where King] David grew up. That baby will [eventually] save you [from the guilt of your sins]! He is the Messiah, [your] Lord!
କାରଣ ଆଜି ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ନଗରରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ତ୍ରାଣକର୍ତ୍ତା ଜନ୍ମଗ୍ରହଣ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି, ସେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ପ୍ରଭୁ।
12 I will tell you how [you will recognize him] (OR, how you will know [that what I say is true]): [In Bethlehem] you will find a baby who has been wrapped {[whose mother] has wrapped him} in strips of cloth and placed in a trough where [people] put food for the animals.”
ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଏହା ଚିହ୍ନସ୍ୱରୂପ ହେବ, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜଣେ ଶିଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଲୁଗାରେ ଗୁଡ଼ା ହୋଇ ଗୁହାଳକୁଣ୍ଡରେ ଶୋଇଥିବାର ଦେଖିବ।
13 Suddenly a large group of angels from heaven appeared and joined the other angel. They all praised God, singing/saying,
ପୁଣି, ହଠାତ୍ ସେହି ଦୂତଙ୍କ ସାଙ୍ଗରେ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗୀୟ ବାହିନୀର ଗୋଟିଏ ବୃହତ ଦଳ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହୋଇ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରୁ କରୁ କହିଲେ,
14 “May [all the angels] in the highest heaven praise God! And on the earth may the people to whom God has shown his favor have peace [with him]!”
“ଊର୍ଦ୍ଧ୍ୱଲୋକରେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ମହିମା, ପୁଣି, ପୃଥିବୀରେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସନ୍ତୋଷପାତ୍ର ମନୁଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଶାନ୍ତି।”
15 After the angels left them [and returned] to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem to see this [wonderful] thing that has happened, which (the Lord/God) has told us about!”
ଦୂତମାନେ ସେମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗକୁ ଫେରିଗଲା ପରେ ମେଷପାଳକମାନେ ପରସ୍ପର କହିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ, ଆସ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ବେଥଲିହିମ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଯାଇ, ପ୍ରଭୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହି ଯେଉଁ ଘଟଣା ଜଣାଇଲେ, ତାହା ଦେଖିବା।
16 So they went quickly. They found the [place where] Mary and Joseph [were staying], and [they saw] the baby lying in the trough where [people] put food for the animals.
ଏଥିରେ ସେମାନେ ଶୀଘ୍ର ଯାଇ, ଅନ୍ୱେଷଣ କରି, ମରୀୟମ ଓ ଯୋଷେଫଙ୍କୁ, ପୁଣି, ଗୁହାଳକୁଣ୍ଡରେ ଶିଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଶୋଇଥିବା ଦେଖିଲେ।
17 Then they told [Mary and Joseph and others] what had been told them {what [the angel] had told them} about this child.
ସେମାନେ ଏହା ଦେଖି ସେହି ଶିଶୁଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯେଉଁ କଥା କୁହାଯାଇଥିଲା, ତାହା ପ୍ରକାଶ କଲେ,
18 Everyone who heard what was said by the shepherds {what the shepherds said} to them was amazed.
ପୁଣି, ଯେତେ ଲୋକ ମେଷପାଳକମାନଙ୍କ ଠାରୁ ସେହିସବୁ କଥା ଶୁଣିଲେ, ସେମାନେ ସମସ୍ତେ ସେହି କଥାରେ ଚମତ୍କୃତ ହେଲେ।
19 But Mary [did not talk to others about what the angels said]; she just kept thinking very much about it.
କିନ୍ତୁ ମରୀୟମ ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ କଥା ହୃଦୟରେ ରଖି ଭାବିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ।
20 The shepherds returned [to their sheep]. They kept praising God very much for all the things that they had heard and seen, [because] everything [happened] exactly like [the angels] told them.
ଆଉ, ମେଷପାଳକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯେପରି କୁହାଯାଇଥିଲା, ସେହିପରି ସେମାନେ ଯାହା ଯାହା ଶୁଣିଲେ ଓ ଦେଖିଲେ, ସେ ସମସ୍ତ ସକାଶେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଗୌରବ ଓ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରୁ କରୁ ଫେରିଗଲେ।
21 Seven days later, when [the priests] circumcised the baby, [his parents] named him Jesus. That was the name that [they were told by] the angel {the angel [told them]} [to] give him before Mary became pregnant.
ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ସୁନ୍ନତ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଆଠ ଦିନ ହେବାରୁ, ତାହାଙ୍କର ନାମ ଯୀଶୁ ଦିଆଗଲା; ଏହି ନାମ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଗର୍ଭାସ୍ଥ ହେବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଦୂତଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଦିଆଯାଇଥିଲା।
22 It had been written by Moses {Moses had written} [long ago] in a law that God gave him, that when a woman gave birth to her first son, the parents had to take him [to the Temple] in Jerusalem in order that they might dedicate him (to the Lord/to God). So when the time came for them to do those rituals so that [God would consider] them pure again, Mary and Joseph took Jesus there.
ପରେ ଯେତେବେଳେ ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥା ଅନୁସାରେ ମରୀୟମଙ୍କ ଶୁଚି ହେବା ସମୟ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହେଲା,
ସେତେବେଳେ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପୁତ୍ରସନ୍ତାନ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟରେ ପବିତ୍ର ବୋଲି ଗଣିତ ହେବେ,
24 God had commanded in his laws that if the first child [of a couple] was a boy, his parents should offer as a sacrifice to God two turtledoves or two young pigeons. [So Joseph and Mary gave the priest two birds so he could offer them].
ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥାରେ ଲିଖିତ ଏହି ଆଜ୍ଞାନୁସାରେ ସେମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟରେ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଓ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥାରେ ଲେଖାଯାଇଥିବା ଅନୁସାରେ ଦୁଇଟି ଘୁଘୁ ବା ଦୁଇଟି କାପ୍ତାଛୁଆ ବଳିଦାନ କରିବା ସକାଶେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଯିରୂଶାଲମ ସହରକୁ ନେଇଗଲେ।
25 At that time there was an [old] man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. He habitually did what was pleasing to God and he obeyed God’s laws. The Holy Spirit was [directing] him as he was waiting for [God] [MTY] [to] encourage the Israeli [people by sending the Messiah].
ଆଉ ଦେଖ, ଯିରୂଶାଲମ ସହରରେ ଶିମିୟୋନ ନାମକ ଜଣେ ଧାର୍ମିକ ଓ ଭକ୍ତ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ଥିଲେ; ସେ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲର ସାନ୍ତ୍ୱନା ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରୁଥିଲେ, ପୁଣି, ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମା ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ଅଧିଷ୍ଠାନ କରିଥିଲେ।
26 It was [previously] revealed by the Holy Spirit {The Holy Spirit [previously] revealed} to him that he would see God’s [promised] Messiah before he died.
ପ୍ରଭୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କର ଦର୍ଶନ ନ ପାଇଲେ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଯେ ମୃତ୍ୟୁ ହେବ ନାହିଁ, ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଏହି ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାଦେଶ ଦିଆଯାଇଥିଲା।
27 When Joseph and Mary brought their baby Jesus [to the Temple] in order to perform the rituals that [God had commanded] in his laws, the Spirit led Simeon to enter the Temple [courtyard, and revealed to him that Jesus was the Messiah].
ସେ ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଚାଳିତ ହୋଇ ମନ୍ଦିରକୁ ଆସିଲେ, ପୁଣି, ଶିଶୁ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପିତାମାତା ଯେତେବେଳେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥାର ନିୟମ ଅନୁଯାୟୀ କର୍ମ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଭିତରକୁ ଆଣିଲେ,
28 So he took Jesus up in his arms and praised God, saying,
ସେତେବେଳେ ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କୋଳରେ ଘେନି ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରି କହିଲେ,
29 Lord, you promised me that I would see the one [MTY] who would enable you to save people of all people-groups from the guilt of their sins. He will be [MET] like a light that will reveal your truth to non-Jews, and he will cause people to think highly of your people, the Israeli people. Since I [SYN] have now seen this one that you promised to send, now let me die peacefully.
“ହେ ପ୍ରଭୁ, ଏବେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ବାକ୍ୟ ଅନୁସାରେ ନିଜ ଦାସକୁ ଶାନ୍ତିରେ ଯିବାକୁ ଦେଉଅଛ;
କାରଣ ମୋହର ଚକ୍ଷୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପରିତ୍ରାଣ ଦେଖିଅଛି,
ଯାହା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରି,
ଅଣଯିହୁଦୀମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ସତ୍ୟ ପ୍ରକାଶକ ଆଲୋକ, ପୁଣି, ତୁମ୍ଭ ଲୋକ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲର ଗୌରବସ୍ୱରୂପ କରିଅଛ।”
33 His parents marveled about what [Simeon] said about [Jesus]. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary,
ତାହାଙ୍କ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧୀୟ କୁହାଯାଇଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟରେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପିତାମାତା ଚମତ୍କୃତ ହେଉଥିଲେ।
34 “Note what I say: [God] has determined that because of this child, many Israeli people will [turn away from God], and many others will turn to God [MET]. Although he will be like a sign [MET] [to warn people], [many] people will oppose him.
ଆଉ, ଶିମିୟୋନ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କରି ତାହାଙ୍କ ମାତା ମରୀୟମଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଦେଖ, ଯେପରି ଅନେକଙ୍କ ହୃଦୟର ଭାବନା ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହୁଏ,
35 As a result, the [evil] thoughts of many people will be made evident {he will reveal the [evil] thoughts of many people}. [Furthermore, the cruel things that they will do to him] [MET] [will be like] a sword that will pierce your (soul/inner being).”
ସେଥିପାଇଁ ଏହି ଶିଶୁ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଅନେକଙ୍କ ପତନ ଓ ଉତ୍ଥାନ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଏବଂ ଯାହା ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ କଥା କୁହାଯିବ, ଏପରି ଚିହ୍ନ ହେବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ନିରୂପିତ, ପୁଣି, ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିଜ ପ୍ରାଣକୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଖଡ୍ଗ ବିଦ୍ଧ କରିବ।
36 There was also [in the Temple courtyard] a very old woman named Anna. She was a prophetess. Her father Phanuel was a member of the tribe of Asher. After she had been married seven years, her husband died.
ଆଉ ହାନ୍ନା ନାମ୍ନୀ ଜଣେ ଭାବବାଦିନୀ ଥିଲେ; ସେ ଆଶେର ବଂଶଜ ଫିନୂୟେଲଙ୍କ କନ୍ୟା। ତାହାଙ୍କର ଅନେକ ବୟସ ହୋଇଥିଲା; ସେ କୁମାରୀ ଅବସ୍ଥା ପରେ ସାତ ବର୍ଷ ସ୍ୱାମୀଙ୍କ ସହିତ ବାସ କରିଥିଲେ ଓ ଚଊରାଅଶୀ ବର୍ଷ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ବିଧବା ହୋଇ ରହିଥିଲେ।
37 After that, she lived until she was 84 years old, and she was still a widow. She stayed in the Temple [area] all the time, night and day, worshipping God. She often (abstained from food/fasted) as she prayed.
ସେ ମନ୍ଦିର ନ ଛାଡ଼ି ଉପବାସ ଓ ନିବେଦନ ସହ ଦିନରାତି ଉପାସନା କରୁଥିଲେ।
38 [While Joseph and Mary and the baby were] still [in the Temple, Anna came to them. She thanked God for the baby]. Then she spoke about Jesus to many people who were expecting [God to send the Messiah] [MTY] to set [the people of] [MTY] Jerusalem free [from their enemies].
ସେହି ଦଣ୍ଡରେ ସେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହୋଇ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରୁ କରୁ ଯିରୂଶାଲମ ସହରର ମୁକ୍ତି ଅପେକ୍ଷାରେ ଥିବା ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ କହିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ।
39 After Joseph and Mary had finished performing the rituals that (the Lord/God) required [the parents of a first son] to perform, they returned to their own town, Nazareth, in Galilee [district].
ପରେ ସେମାନେ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥାନୁଯାୟୀ ସମସ୍ତ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ସମାପ୍ତ କରି ଗାଲିଲୀକୁ, ନିଜ ନଗର ନାଜରିତକୁ ଫେରିଗଲେ।
40 As Jesus grew up, he became strong and very wise, and God was very pleased with him.
ଆଉ, ଶିଶୁ ବୃଦ୍ଧି ପାଇବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ ଓ ଜ୍ଞାନରେ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହେଉ ହେଉ ଶକ୍ତିମାନ ହେଲେ, ପୁଣି, ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଥିଲା।
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem to [celebrate] the Passover festival.
ତାହାଙ୍କ ପିତାମାତା ପ୍ରତିବର୍ଷ ନିସ୍ତାର ପର୍ବ ସମୟରେ ଯିରୂଶାଲମ ସହରକୁ ଯାଉଥିଲେ।
42 So when Jesus was twelve years old, they went up [to Jerusalem] as they always did.
ତାହାଙ୍କର ବାର ବର୍ଷ ସମୟରେ ସେମାନେ ପର୍ବର ରୀତି ଅନୁସାରେ ସେଠାକୁ ଯାତ୍ରା କଲେ।
43 When the celebration ended, his parents started to return home, but Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. [His parents] did not realize that [Jesus stayed there].
ପର୍ବର ସମୟ ସମାପ୍ତ କରି ଯେତେବେଳେ ସେମାନେ ଫେରିଆସୁଥିଲେ, ସେତେବେଳେ ବାଳକ ଯୀଶୁ ଯିରୂଶାଲମ ସହରରେ ରହିଗଲେ, ଆଉ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପିତାମାତା ତାହା ଜାଣି ନ ଥିଲେ।
44 They thought that he was with the other people who were traveling with them. They walked all day. Then they started to look for him among their relatives and friends.
କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ସହଯାତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗରେ ଅଛନ୍ତି ବୋଲି ମନେ କରି ସେମାନେ ଦିନକର ବାଟ ଚାଲିଗଲେ, ପୁଣି, ସମ୍ପର୍କୀୟ ଓ ପରିଚିତ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଖୋଜିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ,
45 They did not find him, so they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.
ଆଉ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ନ ପାଇ ଖୋଜୁ ଖୋଜୁ ଯିରୂଶାଲମ ସହରକୁ ଫେରିଗଲେ।
46 Two days later, they found him. He was in the Temple [courtyard], sitting with the [Jewish] religious teachers. He was listening to what they said, and he was asking them questions.
ତିନି ଦିନ ପରେ ସେମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ମନ୍ଦିରରେ ପାଇଲେ; ସେ ପଣ୍ଡିତମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ବସି ସେମାନଙ୍କ କଥା ଶୁଣୁଥିଲେ ଓ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ ପଚାରୁଥିଲେ,
47 Everyone who heard what he [said] was amazed at how much he understood and [how well] he answered [the questions that the teachers asked].
ଆଉ ଯେତେ ଲୋକ ତାହାଙ୍କ କଥା ଶୁଣୁଥିଲେ, ସମସ୍ତେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବୁଦ୍ଧି ଓ ଉତ୍ତରରେ ଆଚମ୍ଭିତ ହେଉଥିଲେ।
48 When his parents saw him, they were very surprised. His mother said to him, “My son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been very worried as we [(exc)] have been searching for you!”
ସେମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖି ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟାନ୍ୱିତ ହେଲେ, ଆଉ ତାହାଙ୍କର ମାତା ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ପୁଅରେ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି କାହିଁକି ଏପରି ବ୍ୟବହାର କଲୁ? ଦେଖ୍, ତୋର ବାପା ଓ ମୁଁ ଅତିଶୟ ବ୍ୟାକୁଳ ହୋଇ ତୋତେ ଖୋଜୁଥିଲୁ।
49 He said to them, [speaking about the Temple being God his Father’s house], “(I am surprised that you [(dl)] did [not know] where to find me!/Why did you [not know] where to find me?) [RHQ] (You [(dl)] should have known that it was necessary for me to be in my Father’s house!/Did you not know that it was necessary for me to be in my Father’s house?) [RHQ]”
ଏଥିରେ ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “କାହିଁକି ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମୋତେ ଖୋଜୁଥିଲ? ମୋହର ପିତାଙ୍କ ଗୃହରେ ରହିବା ଯେ ମୋହର କର୍ତ୍ତବ୍ୟ, ଏହା କଅଣ ଜାଣି ନ ଥିଲ?”
50 But they did not understand [the meaning of] what he said to them.
କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯେଉଁ କଥା କହିଲେ, ତାହା ସେମାନେ ବୁଝିଲେ ନାହିଁ।
51 Then he returned with them down to Nazareth. He always obeyed them. But his mother kept thinking about all those things.
ପରେ ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସାଙ୍ଗରେ ଫେରି ନାଜରିତକୁ ଆସିଲେ ଓ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ବାଧ୍ୟ ହୋଇ ରହିଲେ; ପୁଣି, ତାହାଙ୍କ ମାତା ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ କଥା ସାବଧାନ ରୂପେ ଆପଣା ହୃଦୟରେ ରଖିଲେ।
52 [As the years passed], Jesus continued to become wiser and he grew taller. God and people continued to approve of him more and more.
ଆଉ, ଯୀଶୁ ଜ୍ଞାନରେ ଓ ଶରୀରରେ, ପୁଣି, ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଓ ମନୁଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହରେ ବୃଦ୍ଧି ପାଇଲେ।
