Matthew 2
1 Jesus was born in Bethlehem [town] in Judea [province] during the time [MTY] that King Herod [the Great ruled there. Some time] after Jesus was born, some men who studied the stars and who lived in a [country] east [of Judea] came to Jerusalem.
१हेरोद राजाच्या दिवसात यहूदीया प्रांतातील बेथलेहेम नगरात येशूचा जन्म झाल्यानंतर, पूर्वेकडील देशातून ज्ञानी लोक यरूशलेम शहरात येऊन विचारपूस करू लागले की,
2 They asked [people], “Where is the one who has been born [in order that he might be] the king of [you] Jews? [We believe that your new king] has been born, because we have seen the star [that we believe indicated that] he has been [born]. [We saw it while we were in our country] east [of here]. So we have come to worship him.”
२“यहूद्यांचा राजा जन्मला आहे तो कोठे आहे? आम्ही पूर्वेला त्याचा तारा पाहीला आणि त्यास नमन करावयास आलो आहोत.”
3 When King Herod heard [what those men were asking], he became worried [that someone else might be proclaimed] {[people might proclaim someone else]} [king of the Jews to replace him]. Many [of the people] of Jerusalem [MTY, HYP] [also] became worried [because they were afraid of what King Herod might do].
३जेव्हा हेरोद राजाने हे ऐकले, तेव्हा तो व त्याच्याबरोबर सर्व यरूशलेम शहर घाबरून गेले;
4 Then Herod gathered together all the ruling priests and men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws and he asked them where [the prophets had predicted that] the Messiah was to be born.
४हेरोद राजाने सर्व मुख्य याजकांना व नियमशास्त्राचे शिक्षक यांना एकत्र जमवून त्यांना विचारले की, ख्रिस्ताचा जन्म कोठे होणार आहे?
5 They said to him, “[He will be born] in Bethlehem, [here] in Judea [province], because it was written by the prophet [Micah] {the prophet [Micah] wrote} [long ago what God said]:
५ते त्यास म्हणाले, “यहूदीया प्रांतातील बेथलेहेम नगरात, कारण संदेष्ट्यांच्याद्वारे असे लिहिलेले आहे की;
6 ‘You [who live in] Bethlehem [APO], in Judea [province], your town is certainly very important [LIT], because a man from your [town] will become a ruler. He will guide my people [who live in] Israel.’”
६‘हे बेथलेहेमा, यहूदाच्या प्रांता, तू यहूदाच्या सर्व सरदारांमध्ये कनिष्ठ आहेस असे मुळीच नाही कारण तुझ्यातून असा सरदार निघेल जो माझ्या इस्राएल लोकांचा सांभाळ करील.’”
7 Then [King] Herod secretly summoned those men who studied the stars. He asked them exactly when the star [first] appeared. [By what they told him, he was able to know the approximate age of the baby].
७मग हेरोद राजाने ज्ञानी लोकांस गुप्तपणे बोलावून त्यांच्यापासून तारा नक्की कधी दिसला याची वेळ विचारून घेतली.
8 Then he [concealed what he really planned to do and] said to them, “Go to Bethlehem and inquire thoroughly [where] the infant is. When you have found him, [come back and] report to me so that I, myself, can go [there and] worship him, too.”
८त्याने त्यांना बेथलेहेमास पाठवताना म्हटले, “तुम्ही जाऊन त्या बालकाविषयी बारकाईने शोध करा व तुम्हास शोध लागल्यावर मला कळवा म्हणजे मी ही येऊन त्यास नमन करीन.”
9 After the men heard what the king [told them], they went [toward Bethlehem]. To their surprise, the star that they had seen while they were in the eastern [country] went ahead of them [again] until it stood above [the house] where the child was.
९राजाचे हे सांगणे ऐकून ते त्यांच्या वाटेने निघाले. जो तारा त्यांनी पूर्वेस पाहीला होता त्याने बेथलेहेम नगरापर्यंत त्यांचे मार्गदर्शन केले आणि ज्ञानी लोक बालकापर्यंत पोहोचेपर्यंत त्यांच्यापुढे चालला.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced greatly [and followed it].
१०तो तारा पाहून ज्ञानी लोकांस अतिशय आनंद झाला.
11 They [found] the house and entered it and saw the child and his mother, Mary. They bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasure [boxes] [MTY] and they gave gold, [costly] frankincense, and myrrh to him.
११नंतर ते त्या घरात गेले आणि ते बालक आपली आई मरीया हिच्याजवळ असलेले त्यांनी पाहीले व खाली वाकून त्यांनी त्यास नमन केले. त्यांनी आपल्या द्रव्यांच्या थैल्या उघडून सोने, ऊद व गंधरस ही दाने अर्पण केली.
12 [Because] God [knew that King Herod planned to kill Jesus], in a dream the men who studied the stars were warned {he warned the men who studied the stars} that they should not return to [King] Herod. So they returned to their country, [but instead of traveling back on the same road, they] went on a different road.
१२देवाने त्यांना स्वप्नात हेरोदाकडे परत जाऊ नका, अशी सूचना दिल्यामुळे ते दुसर्‍या मार्गाने आपल्या देशास निघून गेले.
13 After the men who studied the stars left [Bethlehem], an angel [from] the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. He said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you [(sg) that you should leave], because [King] Herod is about [to send soldiers] to look for the child so that they can kill him.”
१३ते गेल्यावर, प्रभूचा दूत योसेफास स्वप्नात दर्शन देऊन म्हणाला, “ऊठ, बालक व त्याची आई यांना घेऊन मिसर देशात पळून जा आणि मी तुला सांगेपर्यंत तेथेच राहा कारण बालकाचा घात करण्यासाठी हेरोद राजा त्याचा शोध करणार आहे.”
14 So Joseph got up, he took the child and his mother [that] night, and they fled to Egypt.
१४त्या रात्री तो उठला आणि बालक व त्याची आई यांना घेऊन रातोरात मिसर देशात निघून गेला.
15 They stayed there until [King] Herod died, [and then they left Egypt]. By doing that, it was {they} fulfilled what the prophet [Hosea] wrote, which had been said by the Lord {which the Lord had said}, I have told my son to come out of Egypt.
१५तो हेरोदाच्या मरणापर्यंत तेथे राहिला. “मी माझ्या पुत्राला मिसर देशातून बोलावले आहे.” असे जे प्रभूने संदेष्ट्याच्याद्वारे सांगितले ते पूर्ण झाले.
16 [While King] Herod [was still living], because he realized that he had been tricked by the men who studied the stars {the men who studied the stars had tricked him}, he became furious. Then, [assuming that Jesus was still in Bethlehem or the surrounding regions], Herod sent [soldiers there] to kill all the boy babies two years old and younger. [Herod calculated how old the baby was], according to what the men who studied the stars told him [about when the star first appeared].
१६तेव्हा ज्ञानी लोकांनी आपणाला फसवले हे पाहून हेरोद राजा अतिशय संतापला आणि जी वेळ त्याने ज्ञानी लोकांपासून नीट विचारून घेतली होती तिच्याप्रमाणे त्याने बेथलेहेमात व आसपासच्या सर्व प्रदेशांत जे दोन वर्षांचे व त्याहून कमी वयाचे पुरूष बालके होते त्या सर्वांना त्याने माणसे पाठवून त्यांच्याकडून जिवे मारले.
17 [Because Bethlehem and Ramah towns were in the area where the descendants of Jacob’s wife Rachel lived, when soldiers killed the infant boys], they fulfilled what Jeremiah the prophet wrote,
१७यिर्मया संदेष्ट्याच्याद्वारे जे सांगितले होते, ते त्यासमयी पूर्ण झाले. ते असेः
18 [Women] in Ramah were weeping and wailing loudly. [Women who were the descendants] of Rachel, [the ancestor of the women there] [SYN], were grieving for [what happened to] their children. [Even though people tried to comfort them], they would not be comforted {stop mourning}, because their children were dead.
१८“रामा येथे रडणे व मोठा आकांत ह्यांचा शब्द ऐकण्यात आला, राहेल आपल्या मुलांकरिता रडत आहे, आणि ती नाहीत म्हणून ती सांत्वन पावेना.”
19 After Herod died [and while Joseph and his family were still in Egypt], an angel that the Lord [had sent] appeared to Joseph in Egypt in a dream.
१९पुढे हेरोद राजा पावल्यावर, पाहा प्रभूचा दूत मिसर देशात योसेफास स्वप्नात दर्शन देऊन म्हणाला,
20 He said to Joseph, “Take the child and his mother and go back to Israel [to live], because the people who were looking for the child [in order to kill him] have died.”
२०“उठ, बालकास व त्याच्या आईस घेऊन इस्राएल देशास जा, कारण बालकाचा जीव घ्यावयास जे पाहत होते ते मरून गेले आहेत.”
21 So Joseph took the child and his mother, and they went back to Israel.
२१तेव्हा तो उठला आणि बालकाला व त्याच्या आईला घेऊन इस्राएल देशात आला.
22 When Joseph heard that Archaelaus now ruled in Judea [district] instead of his father, [King] Herod [the Great], he was afraid to go there. Because he was warned {[God] warned Joseph} in a dream [that it was still dangerous for them to live in Judea], he [and Mary and Jesus] went to Galilee [District]
२२परंतु अर्खेलाव हा आपला पिता हेरोद याच्या जागी यहूदीया प्रांतात राज्य करीत आहे असे ऐकून तो तेथे जाण्यास घाबरला, आणि स्वप्नात देवाने सूचना केल्यानंतर तो गालील प्रांतास निघून गेला,
23 to Nazareth [to live there]. The result was that what had been said by the ancient prophets {what the ancient prophets had said} [about the Messiah], that he would be called {people would call him} a Nazareth-man, was fulfilled {came true}.
२३व नासरेथ नावाच्या गावी जाऊन राहिला अशासाठी की, “त्याला नासोरी म्हणतील” हे जे संदेष्ट्यांच्याद्वारे सांगितले होते ते पूर्ण व्हावे.
