Luke 1
1 Many have taken on the work of putting together an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
प्रथमतो ये साक्षिणो वाक्यप्रचारकाश्चासन् तेऽस्माकं मध्ये यद्यत् सप्रमाणं वाक्यमर्पयन्ति स्म
2 just as they were passed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
तदनुसारतोऽन्येपि बहवस्तद्वृत्तान्तं रचयितुं प्रवृत्ताः।
3 So it seemed good to me also, because I have accurately investigated everything from the beginning, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
अतएव हे महामहिमथियफिल् त्वं या याः कथा अशिक्ष्यथास्तासां दृढप्रमाणानि यथा प्राप्नोषि
4 so that you might know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
तदर्थं प्रथममारभ्य तानि सर्व्वाणि ज्ञात्वाहमपि अनुक्रमात् सर्व्ववृत्तान्तान् तुभ्यं लेखितुं मतिमकार्षम्।
5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zechariah, from the division of Abijah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
यिहूदादेशीयहेरोद्नामके राजत्वं कुर्व्वति अबीययाजकस्य पर्य्यायाधिकारी सिखरियनामक एको याजको हारोणवंशोद्भवा इलीशेवाख्या
6 They were both righteous before God, obeying all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
तस्य जाया द्वाविमौ निर्दोषौ प्रभोः सर्व्वाज्ञा व्यवस्थाश्च संमन्य ईश्वरदृष्टौ धार्म्मिकावास्ताम्।
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both very old by this time.
तयोः सन्तान एकोपि नासीत्, यत इलीशेवा बन्ध्या तौ द्वावेव वृद्धावभवताम्।
8 Now it came about that Zechariah was in God's presence, carrying out the priestly duties in the order of his division.
यदा स्वपर्य्यानुक्रमेण सिखरिय ईश्वास्य समक्षं याजकीयं कर्म्म करोति
9 According to the customary way of choosing which priest would serve, he had been chosen by lot to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
तदा यज्ञस्य दिनपरिपाय्या परमेश्वरस्य मन्दिरे प्रवेशकाले धूपज्वालनं कर्म्म तस्य करणीयमासीत्।
10 The whole crowd of people was praying outside at the hour when the incense was burned.
तद्धूपज्वालनकाले लोकनिवहे प्रार्थनां कर्तुं बहिस्तिष्ठति
11 Now an angel of the Lord appeared to him and stood at the right side of the incense altar.
सति सिखरियो यस्यां वेद्यां धूपं ज्वालयति तद्दक्षिणपार्श्वे परमेश्वरस्य दूत एक उपस्थितो दर्शनं ददौ।
12 When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified and fear fell on him.
तं दृष्ट्वा सिखरिय उद्विविजे शशङ्के च।
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You will call his name John.
तदा स दूतस्तं बभाषे हे सिखरिय मा भैस्तव प्रार्थना ग्राह्या जाता तव भार्य्या इलीशेवा पुत्रं प्रसोष्यते तस्य नाम योेहन् इति करिष्यसि।
14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
किञ्च त्वं सानन्दः सहर्षश्च भविष्यसि तस्य जन्मनि बहव आनन्दिष्यन्ति च।
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb.
यतो हेतोः स परमेश्वरस्य गोचरे महान् भविष्यति तथा द्राक्षारसं सुरां वा किमपि न पास्यति, अपरं जन्मारभ्य पवित्रेणात्मना परिपूर्णः
16 Many of the people of Israel will be turned to the Lord their God.
सन् इस्रायेल्वंशीयान् अनेकान् प्रभोः परमेश्वरस्य मार्गमानेष्यति।
17 He will go before the face of the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
सन्तानान् प्रति पितृणां मनांसि धर्म्मज्ञानं प्रत्यनाज्ञाग्राहिणश्च परावर्त्तयितुं, प्रभोः परमेश्वरस्य सेवार्थम् एकां सज्जितजातिं विधातुञ्च स एलियरूपात्मशक्तिप्राप्तस्तस्याग्रे गमिष्यति।
18 Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this? For I am an old man and my wife is very old.”
तदा सिखरियो दूतमवादीत् कथमेतद् वेत्स्यामि? यतोहं वृद्धो मम भार्य्या च वृद्धा।
19 The angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, to bring you this good news.
ततो दूतः प्रत्युवाच पश्येश्वरस्य साक्षाद्वर्त्ती जिब्रायेल्नामा दूतोहं त्वया सह कथां गदितुं तुभ्यमिमां शुभवार्त्तां दातुञ्च प्रेषितः।
20 Behold! You will be silent, unable to speak, until the day these things take place. This is because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at the right time.”
किन्तु मदीयं वाक्यं काले फलिष्यति तत् त्वया न प्रतीतम् अतः कारणाद् यावदेव तानि न सेत्स्यन्ति तावत् त्वं वक्तुंमशक्तो मूको भव।
21 Now the people were waiting for Zechariah. They were surprised that he was spending so much time in the temple.
तदानीं ये ये लोकाः सिखरियमपैक्षन्त ते मध्येमन्दिरं तस्य बहुविलम्बाद् आश्चर्य्यं मेनिरे।
22 But when he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized that he had seen a vision while he was in the temple. He kept on making signs to them and remained silent.
स बहिरागतो यदा किमपि वाक्यं वक्तुमशक्तः सङ्केतं कृत्वा निःशब्दस्तस्यौ तदा मध्येमन्दिरं कस्यचिद् दर्शनं तेन प्राप्तम् इति सर्व्वे बुबुधिरे।
23 It came about that when the days of his service were over, he went to his house.
अनन्तरं तस्य सेवनपर्य्याये सम्पूर्णे सति स निजगेहं जगाम।
24 After these days, his wife Elizabeth conceived and for five months she kept herself hidden. She said,
कतिपयदिनेषु गतेषु तस्य भार्य्या इलीशेवा गर्ब्भवती बभूव
25 “This is what the Lord has done for me when he looked at me with favor in order to take away my shame before people.”
पश्चात् सा पञ्चमासान् संगोप्याकथयत् लोकानां समक्षं ममापमानं खण्डयितुं परमेश्वरो मयि दृष्टिं पातयित्वा कर्म्मेदृशं कृतवान्।
26 In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth,
अपरञ्च तस्या गर्ब्भस्य षष्ठे मासे जाते गालील्प्रदेशीयनासरत्पुरे
27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph. He belonged to the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.
दायूदो वंशीयाय यूषफ्नाम्ने पुरुषाय या मरियम्नामकुमारी वाग्दत्तासीत् तस्याः समीपं जिब्रायेल् दूत ईश्वरेण प्रहितः।
28 He came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
स गत्वा जगाद हे ईश्वरानुगृहीतकन्ये तव शुभं भूयात् प्रभुः परमेश्वरस्तव सहायोस्ति नारीणां मध्ये त्वमेव धन्या।
29 But she was very confused by his words and she wondered what kind of greeting this could be.
तदानीं सा तं दृष्ट्वा तस्य वाक्यत उद्विज्य कीदृशं भाषणमिदम् इति मनसा चिन्तयामास।
30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
ततो दूतोऽवदत् हे मरियम् भयं माकार्षीः, त्वयि परमेश्वरस्यानुग्रहोस्ति।
31 See, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son. You will call his name 'Jesus.'
पश्य त्वं गर्ब्भं धृत्वा पुत्रं प्रसोष्यसे तस्य नाम यीशुरिति करिष्यसि।
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
स महान् भविष्यति तथा सर्व्वेभ्यः श्रेष्ठस्य पुत्र इति ख्यास्यति; अपरं प्रभुः परमेश्वरस्तस्य पितुर्दायूदः सिंहासनं तस्मै दास्यति;
33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom.” (aiōn g165)
तथा स याकूबो वंशोपरि सर्व्वदा राजत्वं करिष्यति, तस्य राजत्वस्यान्तो न भविष्यति। (aiōn g165)
34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen, since I have not slept with any man?”
तदा मरियम् तं दूतं बभाषे नाहं पुरुषसङ्गं करोमि तर्हि कथमेतत् सम्भविष्यति?
35 The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will come over you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
ततो दूतोऽकथयत् पवित्र आत्मा त्वामाश्रायिष्यति तथा सर्व्वश्रेष्ठस्य शक्तिस्तवोपरि छायां करिष्यति ततो हेतोस्तव गर्ब्भाद् यः पवित्रबालको जनिष्यते स ईश्वरपुत्र इति ख्यातिं प्राप्स्यति।
36 See, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age. This is the sixth month for her, she who was called barren.
अपरञ्च पश्य तव ज्ञातिरिलीशेवा यां सर्व्वे बन्ध्यामवदन् इदानीं सा वार्द्धक्ये सन्तानमेकं गर्ब्भेऽधारयत् तस्य षष्ठमासोभूत्।
37 For nothing will be impossible for God.”
किमपि कर्म्म नासाध्यम् ईश्वरस्य।
38 Mary said, “See, I am the female servant of the Lord. Let it be for me according to your message.” Then the angel left her.
तदा मरियम् जगाद, पश्य प्रभेरहं दासी मह्यं तव वाक्यानुसारेण सर्व्वमेतद् घटताम्; अननतरं दूतस्तस्याः समीपात् प्रतस्थे।
39 Then Mary arose in those days and quickly went into the hill country, to a city in Judea.
अथ कतिपयदिनात् परं मरियम् तस्मात् पर्व्वतमयप्रदेशीययिहूदाया नगरमेकं शीघ्रं गत्वा
40 She went into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
सिखरिययाजकस्य गृहं प्रविश्य तस्य जायाम् इलीशेवां सम्बोध्यावदत्।
41 Now it happened that when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby in her womb jumped, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
ततो मरियमः सम्बोधनवाक्ये इलीशेवायाः कर्णयोः प्रविष्टमात्रे सति तस्या गर्ब्भस्थबालको ननर्त्त। तत इलीशेवा पवित्रेणात्मना परिपूर्णा सती
42 She raised her voice and said loudly, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
प्रोच्चैर्गदितुमारेभे, योषितां मध्ये त्वमेव धन्या, तव गर्ब्भस्थः शिशुश्च धन्यः।
43 Why has it happened to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
त्वं प्रभोर्माता, मम निवेशने त्वया चरणावर्पितौ, ममाद्य सौभाग्यमेतत्।
44 For see, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.
पश्य तव वाक्ये मम कर्णयोः प्रविष्टमात्रे सति ममोदरस्थः शिशुरानन्दान् ननर्त्त।
45 Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of the things that were told her from the Lord.”
या स्त्री व्यश्वसीत् सा धन्या, यतो हेतोस्तां प्रति परमेश्वरोक्तं वाक्यं सर्व्वं सिद्धं भविष्यति।
46 Mary said, “My soul praises the Lord,
तदानीं मरियम् जगाद। धन्यवादं परेशस्य करोति मामकं मनः।
47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior.
ममात्मा तारकेशे च समुल्लासं प्रगच्छति।
48 For he has looked at the low condition of his female servant. For see, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
अकरोत् स प्रभु र्दुष्टिं स्वदास्या दुर्गतिं प्रति। पश्याद्यारभ्य मां धन्यां वक्ष्यन्ति पुरुषाः सदा।
49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and his name is holy.
यः सर्व्वशक्तिमान् यस्य नामापि च पवित्रकं। स एव सुमहत्कर्म्म कृतवान् मन्निमित्तकं।
50 His mercy lasts from generation to generation for those who fear him.
ये बिभ्यति जनास्तस्मात् तेषां सन्तानपंक्तिषु। अनुकम्पा तदीया च सर्व्वदैव सुतिष्ठति।
51 He has displayed strength with his arm; he has scattered those who were proud about the thoughts of their hearts.
स्वबाहुबलतस्तेन प्राकाश्यत पराक्रमः। मनःकुमन्त्रणासार्द्धं विकीर्य्यन्तेऽभिमानिनः।
52 He has thrown down princes from their thrones and he has raised up those of low condition.
सिंहासनगताल्लोकान् बलिनश्चावरोह्य सः। पदेषूच्चेषु लोकांस्तु क्षुद्रान् संस्थापयत्यपि।
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent away empty.
क्षुधितान् मानवान् द्रव्यैरुत्तमैः परितर्प्य सः। सकलान् धनिनो लोकान् विसृजेद् रिक्तहस्तकान्।
54 He has given help to Israel his servant, so as to remember to show mercy
इब्राहीमि च तद्वंशे या दयास्ति सदैव तां। स्मृत्वा पुरा पितृणां नो यथा साक्षात् प्रतिश्रुतं। (aiōn g165)
इस्रायेल्सेवकस्तेन तथोपक्रियते स्वयं॥
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her house.
अनन्तरं मरियम् प्रायेण मासत्रयम् इलीशेवया सहोषित्वा व्याघुय्य निजनिवेशनं ययौ।
57 Now the time had come for Elizabeth to deliver her baby and she gave birth to a son.
तदनन्तरम् इलीशेवायाः प्रसवकाल उपस्थिते सति सा पुत्रं प्रासोष्ट।
58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
ततः परमेश्वरस्तस्यां महानुग्रहं कृतवान् एतत् श्रुत्वा समीपवासिनः कुटुम्बाश्चागत्य तया सह मुमुदिरे।
59 Now it happened on the eighth day that they came to circumcise the child. They would have called him “Zechariah,” after the name of his father.
तथाष्टमे दिने ते बालकस्य त्वचं छेत्तुम् एत्य तस्य पितृनामानुरूपं तन्नाम सिखरिय इति कर्त्तुमीषुः।
60 But his mother answered and said, “No. He will be called John.”
किन्तु तस्य माताकथयत् तन्न, नामास्य योहन् इति कर्त्तव्यम्।
61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
तदा ते व्याहरन् तव वंशमध्ये नामेदृशं कस्यापि नास्ति।
62 They made signs to his father as to how he wanted him to be named.
ततः परं तस्य पितरं सिखरियं प्रति सङ्केत्य पप्रच्छुः शिशोः किं नाम कारिष्यते?
63 His father asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” They all were astonished at this.
ततः स फलकमेकं याचित्वा लिलेख तस्य नाम योहन् भविष्यति। तस्मात् सर्व्वे आश्चर्य्यं मेनिरे।
64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was freed. He spoke and praised God.
तत्क्षणं सिखरियस्य जिह्वाजाड्येऽपगते स मुखं व्यादाय स्पष्टवर्णमुच्चार्य्य ईश्वरस्य गुणानुवादं चकार।
65 Fear came on all who lived around them. All these matters were spread throughout all the hill country of Judea.
तस्माच्चतुर्दिक्स्थाः समीपवासिलोका भीता एवमेताः सर्व्वाः कथा यिहूदायाः पर्व्वतमयप्रदेशस्य सर्व्वत्र प्रचारिताः।
66 All who heard them stored them in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.
तस्मात् श्रोतारो मनःसु स्थापयित्वा कथयाम्बभूवुः कीदृशोयं बालो भविष्यति? अथ परमेश्वरस्तस्य सहायोभूत्।
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
तदा योहनः पिता सिखरियः पवित्रेणात्मना परिपूर्णः सन् एतादृशं भविष्यद्वाक्यं कथयामास।
68 “Praised be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to help and he has accomplished redemption for his people.
इस्रायेलः प्रभु र्यस्तु स धन्यः परमेश्वरः। अनुगृह्य निजाल्लोकान् स एव परिमोचयेत्।
69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
विपक्षजनहस्तेभ्यो यथा मोच्यामहे वयं। यावज्जीवञ्च धर्म्मेण सारल्येन च निर्भयाः।
सेवामहै तमेवैकम् एतत्कारणमेव च। स्वकीयं सुपवित्रञ्च संस्मृत्य नियमं सदा।
71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us.
कृपया पुरुषान् पूर्व्वान् निकषार्थात्तु नः पितुः। इब्राहीमः समीपे यं शपथं कृतवान् पुरा।
72 He will do this to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
तमेव सफलं कर्त्तं तथा शत्रुगणस्य च। ऋृतीयाकारिणश्चैव करेभ्यो रक्षणाय नः।
73 the oath that he spoke to Abraham our father.
सृष्टेः प्रथमतः स्वीयैः पवित्रै र्भाविवादिभिः। (aiōn g165)
74 He swore to grant to us that we, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies, would serve him without fear,
यथोक्तवान् तथा स्वस्य दायूदः सेवकस्य तु।
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
वंशे त्रातारमेकं स समुत्पादितवान् स्वयम्।
76 Yes, and you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his paths, to prepare people for his coming,
अतो हे बालक त्वन्तु सर्व्वेभ्यः श्रेष्ठ एव यः। तस्यैव भाविवादीति प्रविख्यातो भविष्यसि। अस्माकं चरणान् क्षेमे मार्गे चालयितुं सदा। एवं ध्वान्तेऽर्थतो मृत्योश्छायायां ये तु मानवाः।
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins.
उपविष्टास्तु तानेव प्रकाशयितुमेव हि। कृत्वा महानुकम्पां हि यामेव परमेश्वरः।
78 This will happen because of the tender mercy of our God, because of which the sunrise from on high will come to help us,
ऊर्द्व्वात् सूर्य्यमुदाय्यैवास्मभ्यं प्रादात्तु दर्शनं। तयानुकम्पया स्वस्य लोकानां पापमोचने।
79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. He will do this to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
परित्राणस्य तेभ्यो हि ज्ञानविश्राणनाय च। प्रभो र्मार्गं परिष्कर्त्तुं तस्याग्रायी भविष्यसि॥
80 Now the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
अथ बालकः शरीरेण बुद्ध्या च वर्द्धितुमारेभे; अपरञ्च स इस्रायेलो वंशीयलोकानां समीपे यावन्न प्रकटीभूतस्तास्तावत् प्रान्तरे न्यवसत्।
