1 हे जनाब थियुफिलुस, घणखरयां माणसां नै म्हारै बिचाळै घटी बात्तां का ब्यौरा लिखण की कोशिश करी सै।
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2 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।
even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,
3 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
it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus;
4 के तू या जाण ले के वो बात जिनकी तन्नै शिक्षा पाई सै, वो सच्ची सै।
that thou mightest know the certainty concerning the things wherein thou wast instructed.
5 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।
There was in the days of Herod, king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 वे दोन्नु परमेसवर कै स्याम्ही धर्मी थे, अर प्रभु कै सारे हुकम अर नियमां पै बेखोट चालण आळे थे।
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 पर उनकै कोए भी ऊलाद कोनी थी, क्यूँके एलीशिबा बाँझ थी, अर वे दोन्नु ए बूढ़े थे।
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.
8 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,
Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
9 तो याजकां की रीत कै मुताबिक उसकै नाम की चिट्ठी लिकड़ी के प्रभु कै मन्दर म्ह जाकै धूप जळावै।
according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 धूप जळाण कै बखत माणसां की भीड़ बाहरणै आँगण म्ह प्रार्थना करै थी।
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
11 उस बखत प्रभु का एक सुर्गदूत धूप की वेदी कै सोळी ओड़ खड्या दिख्या।
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 जकरयाह देखकै घबराग्या अर घणा डरग्या।
And Zacharias was troubled when he saw [him], and fear fell upon him.
13 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।
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 वो तेरे ताहीं तो आनन्द अर खुशी देवैएगा, साथ म्ह भोत-से माणस भी उसकै जन्म तै राज्जी होवैगें।
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 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।
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
16 अर इस्राएल के भोत-से माणसां के मन प्रभु परमेसवर की ओड़ मोड़ देवैगा।
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord their God.
17 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।”
And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient [to walk] in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared [for him].
18 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।”
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
19 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।
And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to bring thee these good tidings.
20 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।”
And behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
21 बाहर जकरयाह की बाट देक्खण आळे माणस अचम्भे म्ह पड़गे, कै उसनै मन्दर म्ह इतनी वार क्यूँ लाग्गी।
And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marvelled while he tarried in the temple.
22 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।
And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.
23 जिब उसकी याजकीय सेवा कै दिन पूरे होए, तो वो यरुशलेम नगर नै छोड़ अपणे घरां चल्या गया।
And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfilled, he departed unto his house.
24 कई दिनां पाच्छै उसकी घरआळी एलीशिबा गर्भवती होग्यी, अर पाँच महिन्ने तैई अपणे-आप ताहीं ल्हकोए राख्या,
And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,
25 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।”
Thus hath the Lord done unto me in the days wherein he looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.
26 एलीशिबा कै छठा महिन्ना चढ़ रह्या था, परमेसवर की ओड़ तै जिब्राईल सुर्गदूत, गलील परदेस कै नासरत नगर म्ह,
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 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।
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 जिब्राईल सुर्गदूत नै उसके धोरै आकै कह्या, “आनन्द अर जयजयकार तेरी हो तेरे पै ईश्‍वर का अनुग्रह होया सै! प्रभु तेरे गेल्या सै!”
And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord [is] with thee.
29 मरियम या बात सुणकै भोत घबरा ग्यी, अर सोच म्ह पड़गी कै इन बात्तां का के मतलब हो सकै सै?
But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be.
30 सुर्गदूत नै उसतै कह्या, “हे मरियम, डरै ना, क्यूँके परमेसवर का अनुग्रह तेरे पै होया सै।
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.
31 अर देख, तू गर्भवती होगी, अर तेरे एक छोरा पैदा होगा, तू उसका नाम यीशु धरिये।
And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 वो महान् होगा अर परमप्रधान का बेट्टा कुह्वावैगा, अर प्रभु परमेसवर उसकै पूर्वज दाऊद का सिंहासन उसनै देवैगा,
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 अर वो इस्राएल कै घराने पै सदा राज करैगा, अर उसकै राज्य का अंत न्ही होगा।” (aiōn g165)
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 मरियम नै सुर्गदूत तै कह्या, “यो किस तरियां होगा। मै तो कुँवारी सूं।”
And Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 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।
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee: wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God.
36 अर सुण, तेरी रिस्तेदार जो एलीशिबा सै उसकै भी बुढ़ापे म्ह बेट्टा होण आळा सै, जो बाँझ कुह्वावै थी यो उसका, छठा महिन्ना सै।
And behold, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren.
37 क्यूँके परमेसवर खात्तर कुछ भी मुश्किल कोनी सै।”
For no word from God shall be void of power.
38 मरियम नै कह्या, “देख, मै प्रभु की दास्सी सूं, मेरै तै तेरे कहैए वचन कै मुताबिक हो।” फेर सुर्गदूत उसके धोरै तै चल्या ग्या।
And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 कई दिनां बाद मरियम ताव्ली तैयार होकै पहाड़ी परदेस के यहूदा नगर म्ह ग्यी,
And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;
40 अर जकरयाह कै घर म्ह जाकै एलीशिबा ताहीं नमस्कार करया।
and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth.
41 ज्योए एलीशिबा नै मरियम का नमस्कार सुण्या, त्योंए बाळक उसके पेट म्ह उछळ्या, अर एलीशिबा पवित्र आत्मा तै भरगी।
And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit;
42 अर उसनै ऊँच्ची आवाज म्ह बोलकै कह्या, “तू बिरबानियाँ म्ह धन्य सै, अर तेरी कोख का फळ धन्य सै!
and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
43 मै खुशनसीब सूं जो प्रभु की माँ मेरै धोरै मिलण खात्तर आई?
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me?
44 देख, ज्योए तेरे नमस्कार का बोल मेरै कान्ना म्ह पड्या, त्योंए बाळक मेरै पेट म्ह खुशी तै उछळ पड्या।
For behold, when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 धन्य सै तू क्यूँके तन्नै बिश्वास करया कै जो बात प्रभु नै तेरे ताहीं कही, वे पूरी होई!”
And blessed [is] she that believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
46 फेर मरियम नै कह्या, “मेरा जी प्रभु की बड़ाई करै सै
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 अर मेरी आत्मा मेरै उद्धार करण आळे परमेसवर तै खुश होई,”
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 “क्यूँके उसनै अपणी दास्सी की लाचारी पै निगांह करी सै, इस खात्तर देक्खो, इब तै सारे युग-युग कै माणस मन्नै धन्य कहवैगें,”
For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 “क्यूँके उस शक्तिशाली नै मेरै खात्तर बड़े-बड़े काम करै सै। उसका नाम पवित्र सै,”
For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name.
50 “अर उसकी दया उनपै, जो उसतै डरै सै, पीढ़ी तै पीढ़ी बणी रहवैं सै।”
And his mercy is unto generations and generations On them that fear him.
51 “उसनै अपणी शक्ति तै बड़े-बड़े काम करै सै, अर जो अपणे-आप म्ह घमण्ड करै थे, उन ताहीं तित्तर-बितर कर दिया।”
He hath showed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
52 “उसनै शासकां ताहीं उनकै सिंहासनां पै तै गिरा दिया, अर नम्र लोग्गां ताहीं ऊँच्चा उठा दिया।”
He hath put down princes from [their] thrones, And hath exalted them of low degree.
53 “उसनै भूख्या ताहीं बढ़िया चिज्जां तै छिकाया सै, अर साहूकारां ताहीं खाल्ली हाथ भेज दिया।”
The hungry he hath filled with good things; And the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 “उसनै अपणे सेवक इस्राएल ताहीं सम्भाल लिया, ताके अपणी उस दया नै याद करै,”
He hath given help to Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy
55 “जो उसनै अब्राहम अर उसकी पीढ़ी पै सदा खात्तर दया करण का वादा करया सै।” (aiōn g165)
(As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
56 मरियम करीब तीन महिन्ने उसकै गेल्या रहकै उल्टी अपणे घरां चली ग्यी।
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.
57 फेर एलीशिबा कै दिन पूरे होए अर उसनै बेट्टा जाम्या।
Now Elisabeth’s time was fulfilled that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58 उसके पड़ोसी अर रिश्तेदारां नै या सुणकै के प्रभु नै उसपै बड़ी दया करी सै, उसकै गेल्या खुशी मनाई,
And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her.
59 आठवे दिन वे बाळक का खतना करण ताहीं आये, अर उसका नाम उसकै पिता के नाम पै जकरयाह धरणा चाहवै थे।
And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
60 इस पर उसकी माँ एलीशिबा नै जवाब दिया, “ना, इसका नाम यूहन्ना धरो।”
And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
61 उननै उस ताहीं कह्या, “तेरे रिश्तेदारा म्ह किसे का यो नाम न्ही सै!”
And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62 फेर उसकै पिता तै इशारा करकै पूच्छया कै तू उसका नाम कै धरणा चाहवै सै?
And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63 उसनै लिखण की पट्टी पै लिख दिया, “उसका नाम यूहन्ना सै,” अर सारा नै अचम्भा होया।
And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
64 फेर उसकी आवाज बोहड़ आई, अर वो बोल्लण अर परमेसवर का धन्यवाद करण लाग्या।
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed], and he spake, blessing God.
65 उसके लोवै-धोरै कै सब रहण आळे डरगे, अर उन सारी बात्तां की चर्चा यहूदिया परदेस कै सारे पहाड़ी देश म्ह फैलगी,
And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judæa.
66 अर सब सुणण आळा नै अपणे-अपणे मन म्ह विचार करकै कह्या, “यो बाळक किसा होगा?” क्यूँके प्रभु की शक्ति उसकै साथ सै।
And all that heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 उसका पिता जकरयाह पवित्र आत्मा तै भरग्या, अर भविष्यवाणी करण लाग्या:
And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
68 “प्रभु इस्राएल का परमेसवर धन्य सै, क्यूँके उसनै अपणे माणसां पै निगांह करी अर उनका उद्धार करया सै,
Blessed [be] the Lord, the God of Israel; For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
69 अर अपणे दास दाऊद कै घराने म्ह म्हारै खात्तर एक शक्तिशाली उद्धारकर्ता ताहीं भेज्या सै,
And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David
70 (भोत पैहले प्रभु नै अपणे पवित्र नबियाँ कै जरिये यो कह्या था) (aiōn g165)
(As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old), (aiōn g165)
71 के वो हमनै दुश्मनां तै बचावैगा अर मेरे तै नफरत करण आळे की ताकत तै भी हमनै बचावैगा।
Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 उसनै कह्या, के वो म्हारै पूर्वजां पै दया करैगा अर अपणे पवित्र करार नै याद राक्खैगा,
To show mercy towards our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;
73 अर वो करार जो उसनै म्हारै पूर्वज अब्राहम तै करया था,
The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father,
74 उसनै वादा करया सै, के वो म्हारे दुश्मनां कै हाथ तै हमनै छुड़ावैगा,
To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear,
75 ताके जिन्दगी भर उसकै आग्गै पवित्रता अर धार्मिकता तै बिना डरें उसकी सेवा कर सकां।
In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76 हे मेरे बेट्टे, तू परमप्रधान का नबी कुह्वावैगा, क्यूँके तू प्रभु का रास्ता त्यार करण कै खात्तर आग्गै-आग्गै चाल्लैगा,
Yea and thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High: For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways;
77 तू उसकै माणसां नै उद्धार का ज्ञान देगा, जो पापां की माफी तै मिलै सै।
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people In the remission of their sins,
78 यो म्हारे परमेसवर की उस बड़ी दया तै होगा। जिस तरियां सूरज चमकै सै, उसी तरियां मसीहा भी सुर्ग तै म्हारे धोरै आवैगा
Because of the tender mercy of our God, Whereby the dayspring from on high shall visit us,
79 ताके अन्धेरे अर मौत की छाया म्ह बैठण आळा नै रोशनी दे, वा रोशनी सही राह पै चाल्लण म्ह म्हारी मदद करैगी।”
To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death; To guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 अर बाळक यूहन्ना देह अर आत्मा म्ह मजबूत होन्दा गया, अर इस्राएल के माणसां पै जाहिर होण तै पैहले वो जंगल-बियाबान म्ह रह्या।
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.
