< Luke 2 >

1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
उन दिनां म्ह औगुस्तुस कैसर की कान्ही तै हुकम लिकड़या के, सारे रोमी साम्राज्य कै माणसां की जनगणना करकै उनके नाम लिक्खे जावै।
2 ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
(या पैहली नाम लिखाई उस बखत होई, जिब क्‍विरिनियुस सीरिया परदेस कै इलाके का राज्यपाल था)।
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
सारे माणस नाम लिखाण कै खात्तर अपणे-अपणे पुश्तैनी नगर म्ह गए।
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David)
आखर यूसुफ भी इस करकै के वो भी दाऊद कै कुण्बे अर पीढ़ी का था, गलील परदेस कै नासरत नगर तै गया, यहूदिया परदेस म्ह दाऊद कै बैतलहम नगर म्ह आया,
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
ताके अपणी मंगेतर मरियम कै गेल्या जो गर्भवती थी, उस जनगणना म्ह नाम लिखवावै।
6 And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
उनकै बैतलहम नगर रहन्दे होए उसके जाम्मण के दिन पूरे होए,
7 And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling-clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
अर मरियम नै अपणा जेट्ठा छोरा जाम्या अर उस ताहीं लत्ते म्ह लपेटकै खोर म्ह धरया, क्यूँके उनकै खात्तर सराये म्ह जगहां कोनी थी।
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
अर उस देश म्ह कई पाळी थे, जो रात नै मदानां म्ह रहकै अपणी भेड्डां के टोळ की रुखाळ करै थे।
9 And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.
अर उस्से रात नै प्रभु का एक सुर्गदूत उनकै धोरै आण खड्या होया, अर प्रभु का प्रताप उसकै उप्पर चमक्या, अर वे घणे डरगे।
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people.
सुर्गदूत नै उनतै कह्या, “मतना डरो, क्यूँके देक्खों, मै थमनै घणी खुशी की खबर सुणाऊँ सूं, जो सारे माणसां खात्तर होगी,
11 For to you is born this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
आज दाऊद कै नगर बैतलहम म्ह थारे खात्तर एक उद्धारकर्ता जाम्या सै, अर योए मसीह प्रभु सै।
12 And this [shall be] a sign to you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger.
अर उसकी थारे खात्तर या निशान्नी होगी के थम एक बाळक नै लत्ते म्ह लिपट्या होड़ अर खोर म्ह लेट्या होड़ पाओगे।”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
फेर चाणचक उस सुर्गदूत गेल्या सुर्गदूत्तां का एक टोळ परमेसवर की भगति करदे होए अर न्यू कहन्दे दिख्या,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men.
“अकास म्ह परमेसवर की महिमा अर धरती पै उन माणसां म्ह जिनतै वो राज्जी सै, शान्ति हो।”
15 And it came to pass, when the angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.
जिब सुर्गदूत उसकै धोरै तै सुर्ग म्ह चले गए, तो पाळीयाँ नै आप्पस म्ह कह्या, “आओ, हम बैतलहम नगर जाकै या बात जो होई सै, अर जो प्रभु नै म्हारै ताहीं बताई सै, देक्खां।”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
अर उननै जिब्बे जाकै मरियम अर यूसुफ ताहीं अर खोर म्ह उस बाळक ताहीं लेट्या देख्या।
17 And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
जिब पाळीयाँ नै बाळक ताहीं देख्या तो उननै वे सारी बात जो सुर्गदूत नै इस बाळक कै बाबत उनतै कही थी, यूसुफ अर मरियम ताहीं बताई।
18 And all they that heard [it], wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
अर पाळीयाँ की ये बात सुणकै सारे सुणण आळा नै अचम्भा करया।
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart.
पर मरियम ये बात अपणे मन म्ह धरकै सोचदी रई।
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told to them.
अर जिसा पाळीयाँ ताहीं सुर्गदूत्तां नै कह्या था, सब कुछ उसाए सुणकै अर देखकै, वे परमेसवर की महिमा अर जय-जयकार करदे होए बोहड़गे।
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, who was so named by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
जिब आठ दिन पूरे होए अर उसकै खतने का बखत आया, तो उसका नाम यीशु धरया गया, अर यो नाम सुर्गदूत के जरिये, मरियम के गर्भ म्ह आण तै पैहल्या बताया गया था।
22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present [him] to the Lord;
जिब मूसा नबी कै नियम-कायदा कै मुताबिक मरियम अर यूसुफ कै सूंच्चे होण के दिन पूरे होए, तो वे दोन्नु यीशु नै यरुशलेम नगर के मन्दर म्ह लेगे के प्रभु कै स्याम्ही ल्याए,
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that is the first born of his mother shall be called holy to the Lord)
(जिसा के प्रभु के नियम-कायदा म्ह लिख्या होड़ सै: हरेक जेट्ठा बेट्टा प्रभु कै खात्तर पवित्र ठहरैगा।)
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.
अर प्रभु कै नियम-कायदा कै वचन कै मुताबिक “एक कबूतर या मोड्डी कै दो बच्चे ल्याकै बलि करै।”
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [was] Simeon; and the same man [was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
उस बखत यरुशलेम नगर म्ह शमौन नाम का एक माणस था। वो धर्मी अर परमेसवर का भगत था, अर वो मसीह की बाट देखण लागरया था, ताके इस्राएल के माणसां नै शान्ति मिलै अर पवित्र आत्मा उसपै था।
26 And it was revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
अर पवित्र आत्मा के जरिये उसपै जाहिर होया था के जिब तक वो प्रभु के मसीह नै देख न्ही लेगा, जद ताहीं मौत नै कोनी देक्खैगा।
27 And he came by the spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
शमौन आत्मा की अगुवाई तै मन्दर म्ह आया, अर जिब माँ-बाप उस बाळक यीशु ताहीं भीत्त्तर ल्याए, ताके उसकै खात्तर नियम-कायदा के रिवाज कै मुताबिक करै,
28 Then he took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
फेर उसनै बाळक यीशु ताहीं अपणी गोद्दी म्ह लिया अर परमेसवर का धन्यवाद करकै कह्या
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
“हे प्रभु माल्लिक, इब तू अपणे दास नै अपणे वचन कै मुताबिक शान्ति तै इब मर जाणदे,
30 For my eyes have seen thy salvation,
क्यूँके मेरी आँखां नै उद्धारकर्ता ताहीं देख लिया सै,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
जिस ताहीं तन्नै सारे देशां के माणसां कै स्याम्ही भेज्या सै,
32 A light to enlighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
ताके वो गैर यहूदियाँ ताहीं चाँदणा देण कै खात्तर उजाळा, अर तेरे अपणे माणस इस्राएल की महिमा हो।”
33 And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken concerning him.
यीशु के माँ-बाप इन बात्तां तै, जो शमौन नै यीशु कै बारें म्ह कही थी, सुणकै अचम्भा करै थे।
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
फेर शमौन नै उन ताहीं आशीर्वाद देकै, उसकी माँ मरियम तै कह्या, “देख, यो बाळक इस्राएल म्ह भोत-से माणसां के पतन अर उत्थान का कारण बणैगा, अर या निशान्नी के रूप म्ह परमेसवर की ओड़ तै भेज्या होया सै, अर भोत सारे लोग उसकै बिरुध बोल्लैगें।
35 (And a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
इसका नतिज्जा यो होगा के भोत सारे मनां के विचार जाहिर हो जावैंगे, अर एक भोत बड़ा दुख तेरे पै आवैगा।”
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher: she was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
अशेर कै गोत म्ह तै हन्नाह नामक फनूएल की बेट्टी एक नबी थी। वा घणी बूढ़ी थी, अर ब्याह होण कै सात साल पाच्छै उसका धणी गुजर ग्या।
37 And she [was] a widow of about eighty four years, who departed not from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and prayers night and day.
वा चौरासी साल तै बिधवा थी: अर मन्दर म्ह जाणा कोनी छोड्या करै थी, पर ब्रत अर प्रार्थना कर-करकै रात-दिन भगति करया करै थी।
38 And she coming in that instant, gave thanks likewise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
जिब यूसुफ, मरियम अर बाळक यीशु, मन्दर म्ह थे, तो हन्नाह उनकै धोरै आई अर परमेसवर का धन्यवाद करण लाग्गी, अर उसनै उन सारया ताहीं इस बाळक यीशु के बारें म्ह बताया, जो यरुशलेम कै छुटकारै की बाट देक्खै थे।
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
यहूदी नियम-कायदा नै पूरा करण कै बाद यूसुफ अर मरियम गलील परदेस के नासरत नगर म्ह अपणे घरां बोहड़ आये।
40 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
अर बाळक यीशु बढ़दा, अर मजबूत होन्दा, अर बुद्धि तै भरपूर होंदा गया, अर परमेसवर का अनुग्रह उसपै था।
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
यीशु के माँ-बाप हरेक साल फसह कै त्यौहार म्ह यरुशलेम जाया करै थे।
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
जिब यीशु बारहां साल का होया, तो वे त्यौहार की रीति कै मुताबिक यरुशलेम नगर म्ह गए।
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not [of it].
जिब यीशु के माँ-बाप त्यौहार मनाकै अपणे घरां बोहड़ण लागरे थे, तो बाळक यीशु यरुशलेम म्ह रहग्या, अर इसका उसकै माँ-बाप नै कोनी बेरा था।
44 But they, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among [their] relations and acquaintance.
वे न्यू समझकै के वो दुसरे मुसाफिरां कै गेल्या होगा, एक दिन का सफर पार करगे: अर उस ताहीं अपणे कुण्बे आळा म्ह अर जाण-पिच्छाण आळा म्ह टोह्ण लाग्गे।
45 And when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
पर जिब कोनी मिल्या, टोन्दे-टोन्दे यरुशलेम म्ह दुबारै बोहड़गे,
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
अर तीन दिन कै पाच्छै उननै वो मन्दर के आँगण म्ह उपदेशकां कै बिचाळै बेठ्ठे, उनकी सुणदे अर उनतै सवाल बुझते पाया।
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
जितने उसकी सुणै थे, वे सारे उसकी समझ अर उसके जवाब तै हैरान थे।
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 sought thee sorrowing.
फेर उसके माँ-बाप उस ताहीं देखकै हैरान होए अर उसकी माँ नै उसतै कह्या, “हे बेट्टे, तन्नै म्हारै गेल्या इसा बरताव क्यातै करया? देख, तेरा बाप अर मै तन्नै ढूँढ़-ढूँढ़के परेशान होरे थे?”
49 And he said to them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
उसनै उनतै कह्या, “थम मन्नै क्यातै टोह्वो सो? के बेरा कोनी मन्नै मेरे पिता कै घरां होणा जरूरी सै?”
50 And they understood not the saying which he spoke to them.
पर जो बात उसनै उनतै कही, उननै कोनी समझया।
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
फेर वो उनकै गेल्या गया, अर नासरत म्ह आया, अर उनकै बस म्ह रह्या, अर उसकी माँ नै ये सारी बात अपणे मन म्ह राक्खी।
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
अर यीशु समझ अर कद-काट्ठी म्ह, अर परमेसवर अर माणसां कै अनुग्रह म्ह बढ़दा गया।
