लूका 1
1 हे जनाब थियुफिलुस, घणखरयां माणसां नै म्हारै बिचाळै घटी बात्तां का ब्यौरा लिखण की कोशिश करी सै।
My noble [friend] Theophilus, many people saw the things that [Jesus] did while he was with us, from the time when he started [MTY] [his ministry]. They served God [by teaching people] the message [about the Lord Jesus]. Many of those who heard what they taught wrote down for us accounts of the things that [Jesus did from the time when] he began [his ministry].
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।
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
I myself have studied these accounts carefully. So I decided that it would be good for me also to write for you [(sg)] an accurate account of these matters.
4 के तू या जाण ले के वो बात जिनकी तन्नै शिक्षा पाई सै, वो सच्ची सै।
I want you to know the truth about what you have been taught {what others have taught you}.
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।
When King Herod [the Great ruled] Judea [district], there was a [Jewish] priest named Zechariah. He belonged to the [group of priests called] the Abijah group. He and his wife Elizabeth were both descended from the [first priest of Israel], Aaron.
6 वे दोन्नु परमेसवर कै स्याम्ही धर्मी थे, अर प्रभु कै सारे हुकम अर नियमां पै बेखोट चालण आळे थे।
[God considered that] both of them were righteous, because they constantly completely obeyed everything that God had commanded.
7 पर उनकै कोए भी ऊलाद कोनी थी, क्यूँके एलीशिबा बाँझ थी, अर वे दोन्नु ए बूढ़े थे।
But they had no children, because Elizabeth had been unable to bear children. Furthermore, she and her husband were very old.
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,
One day [Zechariah’s] group was doing their work [in the Temple in Jerusalem], and he was serving as a priest in God’s presence.
9 तो याजकां की रीत कै मुताबिक उसकै नाम की चिट्ठी लिकड़ी के प्रभु कै मन्दर म्ह जाकै धूप जळावै।
Following their custom, [the other priests] chose him by lot to enter the Lord’s temple and burn incense.
10 धूप जळाण कै बखत माणसां की भीड़ बाहरणै आँगण म्ह प्रार्थना करै थी।
While he was burning the incense, many people were outside [in the courtyard], praying.
11 उस बखत प्रभु का एक सुर्गदूत धूप की वेदी कै सोळी ओड़ खड्या दिख्या।
Then an angel whom God had [sent] appeared to him. The angel was standing at the right side of the place [where the priests burned] incense.
12 जकरयाह देखकै घबराग्या अर घणा डरग्या।
When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became very afraid.
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 to him, “Zechariah, do not be afraid! When you [(sg)] prayed [asking God for a son] (OR, [that God would send the Messiah]), God heard what you prayed. [So] your wife Elizabeth shall bear a son. You must name him John.
14 वो तेरे ताहीं तो आनन्द अर खुशी देवैएगा, साथ म्ह भोत-से माणस भी उसकै जन्म तै राज्जी होवैगें।
He will cause you to be very happy, and many other people will also be happy because he is born.
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।
God will consider him to be very important. He must never drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, [in order that he will be completely dedicated to God]. He will be controlled by the Holy Spirit {The Holy Spirit will control him} from before he is born.
16 अर इस्राएल के भोत-से माणसां के मन प्रभु परमेसवर की ओड़ मोड़ देवैगा।
He will [persuade] many people in Israel to turn away [from their sins and please] 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।”
As [God’s] Spirit enables him [to preach] powerfully as [the prophet] Elijah did, he will precede [the Messiah]. He will cause parents [SYN] to act [peacefully] toward their children [again]. He will cause [many] people who do not obey [God to hear and obey] the wise things that righteous people [tell them]. He will do this in order to help [many] people to be ready when the Lord [comes].”
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।”
Then Zechariah said to the angel, “I am very old, and my wife is also so old [that she cannot bear a child. So] (I cannot [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]!/how can I [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]?) [RHQ]”
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।
Then the angel said to him, “I am [God’s chief angel], Gabriel! [I do what God tells me, because] I constantly am in God’s presence! I was sent {[He] sent me} to tell you [(sg)] something good [that is going to happen to you].
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।”
What I have told you will certainly happen at the time [God decides], but you did not believe what I told you. So now [God will make] you will be unable to talk until the day [your son is born]”!
21 बाहर जकरयाह की बाट देक्खण आळे माणस अचम्भे म्ह पड़गे, कै उसनै मन्दर म्ह इतनी वार क्यूँ लाग्गी।
While [Zechariah and the angel] were talking, the people [in the courtyard] were waiting for Zechariah [to come out]. They wondered, “Why is he staying in the Temple for such a long time?”
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।
When Zechariah came out, he was not able to speak to the people. Because he could not talk, he made motions with his hands [to try to convey what had happened]. Then they realized that he had seen (a vision [from God]/something that [God] showed him) while he was in the Temple.
23 जिब उसकी याजकीय सेवा कै दिन पूरे होए, तो वो यरुशलेम नगर नै छोड़ अपणे घरां चल्या गया।
When Zechariah’s time to work [as a priest in the Temple] was finished, he [left Jerusalem and] returned to his home.
24 कई दिनां पाच्छै उसकी घरआळी एलीशिबा गर्भवती होग्यी, अर पाँच महिन्ने तैई अपणे-आप ताहीं ल्हकोए राख्या,
Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant [EUP]. She did not leave their house for five months, [because she knew that people would laugh at her if she told them that she was pregnant].
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।”
But she thought, “God has enabled me to become pregnant. He has pitied me and I will no longer be ashamed [because I have no children]!”
26 एलीशिबा कै छठा महिन्ना चढ़ रह्या था, परमेसवर की ओड़ तै जिब्राईल सुर्गदूत, गलील परदेस कै नासरत नगर म्ह,
When Elizabeth had been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, the angel Gabriel was sent by God {God sent the angel Gabriel} [again].
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।
[This time] he went to Nazareth [town] in Galilee [district], to a virgin whose name was Mary. It had been {[Her parents] had} promised that she would marry a man named Joseph, who was descended from [King] David.
28 जिब्राईल सुर्गदूत नै उसके धोरै आकै कह्या, “आनन्द अर जयजयकार तेरी हो तेरे पै ईश्वर का अनुग्रह होया सै! प्रभु तेरे गेल्या सै!”
The angel greeted her and said, “(The Lord/God) is with you [(sg)] and you will be greatly blessed {[has decided to] greatly bless you}!”
29 मरियम या बात सुणकै भोत घबरा ग्यी, अर सोच म्ह पड़गी कै इन बात्तां का के मतलब हो सकै सै?
But Mary was very confused [when she heard] that. She wondered what [the angel meant] by these words.
30 सुर्गदूत नै उसतै कह्या, “हे मरियम, डरै ना, क्यूँके परमेसवर का अनुग्रह तेरे पै होया सै।
Then the angel said to her, “Mary, God is very pleased with you [(sg)], so do not be afraid.
31 अर देख, तू गर्भवती होगी, अर तेरे एक छोरा पैदा होगा, तू उसका नाम यीशु धरिये।
You will become pregnant and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus.
32 वो महान् होगा अर परमप्रधान का बेट्टा कुह्वावैगा, अर प्रभु परमेसवर उसकै पूर्वज दाऊद का सिंहासन उसनै देवैगा,
He will become great. He will be called {[People will] call him} (the Son of God/the man who is also God). God, the Lord, will make him a king [MTY] as his ancestor [King] David was.
He will be the King of [the] Jews, the descendants [MTY] of [your ancestor] Jacob, forever. He will rule as king forever!” (aiōn g165)
34 मरियम नै सुर्गदूत तै कह्या, “यो किस तरियां होगा। मै तो कुँवारी सूं।”
Then Mary said to the angel, “I am a virgin, so how can I [have a baby]?”
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।
The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come to you; the power of God [MTY/EUP] will overshadow you [and enable you to become pregnant]. So the child [you will] bear will be completely set apart {give himself completely} to obey God, and he will be called {[people] will say that he is} (the Son of God/the man who is also 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।
[I also need to tell you something else]. Your cousin Elizabeth is very old, and it was thought {[people] said} that she could not bear any children. But she has been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, and will bear a son!
37 क्यूँके परमेसवर खात्तर कुछ भी मुश्किल कोनी सै।”
[You should not be surprised at that], because God can do everything!”
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।
Then Mary said, “All right, I want to serve (the Lord/God), so may what you [(sg)] have said about me come true!” Then the angel left her.
39 कई दिनां बाद मरियम ताव्ली तैयार होकै पहाड़ी परदेस के यहूदा नगर म्ह ग्यी,
Very soon after that, Mary got ready and went quickly to a town in the highlands of Judea [district] where Zechariah lived.
40 अर जकरयाह कै घर म्ह जाकै एलीशिबा ताहीं नमस्कार करया।
She entered his house and greeted [his wife] Elizabeth.
41 ज्योए एलीशिबा नै मरियम का नमस्कार सुण्या, त्योंए बाळक उसके पेट म्ह उछळ्या, अर एलीशिबा पवित्र आत्मा तै भरगी।
As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary greet her, the baby moved inside [Elizabeth’s] womb. The Holy Spirit took complete control of Elizabeth,
42 अर उसनै ऊँच्ची आवाज म्ह बोलकै कह्या, “तू बिरबानियाँ म्ह धन्य सै, अर तेरी कोख का फळ धन्य सै!
and she said loudly [to Mary], “[God] has blessed you [more than] he has blessed [any other] woman, and [he has] blessed the child you will bear!
43 मै खुशनसीब सूं जो प्रभु की माँ मेरै धोरै मिलण खात्तर आई?
(I am not worthy that [God would allow you] to visit me!/Why is [God allowing you] to visit me?) [RHQ] You will be the mother of my Lord!
44 देख, ज्योए तेरे नमस्कार का बोल मेरै कान्ना म्ह पड्या, त्योंए बाळक मेरै पेट म्ह खुशी तै उछळ पड्या।
[I realize this because] as soon as I heard you greet me, the baby inside my womb moved because he was so happy [that you had come].
45 धन्य सै तू क्यूँके तन्नै बिश्वास करया कै जो बात प्रभु नै तेरे ताहीं कही, वे पूरी होई!”
[God] is pleased with you [because] you believed that what (the Lord/God) told you would come true.”
46 फेर मरियम नै कह्या, “मेरा जी प्रभु की बड़ाई करै सै
Then Mary [praised God by] saying/singing: “, how I [SYN] praise (the Lord/God)!
47 अर मेरी आत्मा मेरै उद्धार करण आळे परमेसवर तै खुश होई,”
I am happy because God is the one who saves me.
48 “क्यूँके उसनै अपणी दास्सी की लाचारी पै निगांह करी सै, इस खात्तर देक्खो, इब तै सारे युग-युग कै माणस मन्नै धन्य कहवैगें,”
I was only his lowly servant girl, but he did not forget me. So from now on, everyone will say that God was pleased with me,
49 “क्यूँके उस शक्तिशाली नै मेरै खात्तर बड़े-बड़े काम करै सै। उसका नाम पवित्र सै,”
because they will hear about the things that God [MTY], the mighty one, has done for me. He [MTY] is awesome!
50 “अर उसकी दया उनपै, जो उसतै डरै सै, पीढ़ी तै पीढ़ी बणी रहवैं सै।”
He acts mercifully toward all those who respect 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 shows people that he [MTY] is very powerful. He scatters those who think proudly.
52 “उसनै शासकां ताहीं उनकै सिंहासनां पै तै गिरा दिया, अर नम्र लोग्गां ताहीं ऊँच्चा उठा दिया।”
He does not let mighty kings rule [MTY] any more, but he honors people who are oppressed (OR, humble).
53 “उसनै भूख्या ताहीं बढ़िया चिज्जां तै छिकाया सै, अर साहूकारां ताहीं खाल्ली हाथ भेज दिया।”
He gives good things to eat to those who are hungry, but he sends away the rich people without giving them anything.
54 “उसनै अपणे सेवक इस्राएल ताहीं सम्भाल लिया, ताके अपणी उस दया नै याद करै,”
And now he has remembered what he promised. So he has helped me and all the other people of [MTY] Israel who serve him.
He promised to Abraham and all our other ancestors who descended from him that he would act mercifully toward them forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 मरियम करीब तीन महिन्ने उसकै गेल्या रहकै उल्टी अपणे घरां चली ग्यी।
Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months. Then she returned to her home.
57 फेर एलीशिबा कै दिन पूरे होए अर उसनै बेट्टा जाम्या।
When it was time for Elizabeth to give birth to her child, she bore a son.
58 उसके पड़ोसी अर रिश्तेदारां नै या सुणकै के प्रभु नै उसपै बड़ी दया करी सै, उसकै गेल्या खुशी मनाई,
Her neighbors and relatives heard how (the Lord/God) had greatly blessed her [by enabling her to bear a child], so they were happy along with [Elizabeth].
59 आठवे दिन वे बाळक का खतना करण ताहीं आये, अर उसका नाम उसकै पिता के नाम पै जकरयाह धरणा चाहवै थे।
Seven days later they gathered together for the [ceremony for] circumcising the baby [to show that he belonged to God]. They wanted to give the baby the same name as his father, Zechariah.
60 इस पर उसकी माँ एलीशिबा नै जवाब दिया, “ना, इसका नाम यूहन्ना धरो।”
But his mother said, “No, [his name will not be Zechariah]. His name will be John!”
61 उननै उस ताहीं कह्या, “तेरे रिश्तेदारा म्ह किसे का यो नाम न्ही सै!”
[So] they said to her, “[John] is not the name of any of your [(dl)] relatives, [so you(dl) should not give him that name]!”
62 फेर उसकै पिता तै इशारा करकै पूच्छया कै तू उसका नाम कै धरणा चाहवै सै?
Then they made motions with their hands to Zechariah, [for him] to indicate what name [he] wanted to be given {to give} to his son.
63 उसनै लिखण की पट्टी पै लिख दिया, “उसका नाम यूहन्ना सै,” अर सारा नै अचम्भा होया।
[So] he signaled that they [should give him] a tablet [to write on. When they gave him one], he wrote [on it], “His name is John.” All those [who were there] were surprised!
64 फेर उसकी आवाज बोहड़ आई, अर वो बोल्लण अर परमेसवर का धन्यवाद करण लाग्या।
Immediately Zechariah was able to speak again [MTY], and he praised God.
65 उसके लोवै-धोरै कै सब रहण आळे डरगे, अर उन सारी बात्तां की चर्चा यहूदिया परदेस कै सारे पहाड़ी देश म्ह फैलगी,
All their neighbors were amazed/awestruck! They told other people who lived all over the highlands of Judea about what had happened.
66 अर सब सुणण आळा नै अपणे-अपणे मन म्ह विचार करकै कह्या, “यो बाळक किसा होगा?” क्यूँके प्रभु की शक्ति उसकै साथ सै।
Everyone who heard about it kept thinking about it. They were saying, “We wonder what will this child do [for God when] he [grows up] [RHQ]!” They wondered that because [from what had happened they were sure that] God would be helping that child [SYN] [in a powerful way].
67 उसका पिता जकरयाह पवित्र आत्मा तै भरग्या, अर भविष्यवाणी करण लाग्या:
[After] Zechariah’s [son was born], Zechariah was completely directed by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit completely directed Zechariah} as he spoke these words that came from God:
68 “प्रभु इस्राएल का परमेसवर धन्य सै, क्यूँके उसनै अपणे माणसां पै निगांह करी अर उनका उद्धार करया सै,
“Praise the Lord, the God whom we(inc) people of Israel worship, because he has come to set us, his people, free from our enemies.
69 अर अपणे दास दाऊद कै घराने म्ह म्हारै खात्तर एक शक्तिशाली उद्धारकर्ता ताहीं भेज्या सै,
He is sending us someone who will powerfully [MTY] save us, someone who is descended from [MTY] King David, who served God well.
Long ago God caused his prophets to say that he would do that. (aiōn g165)
71 के वो हमनै दुश्मनां तै बचावैगा अर मेरे तै नफरत करण आळे की ताकत तै भी हमनै बचावैगा।
He will rescue us from our enemies, and he will save us from the power of all those who hate us.
72 उसनै कह्या, के वो म्हारै पूर्वजां पै दया करैगा अर अपणे पवित्र करार नै याद राक्खैगा,
He will do this because he has not forgotten what he promised our ancestors; he made an agreement that he would act mercifully to us, their descendants.
73 अर वो करार जो उसनै म्हारै पूर्वज अब्राहम तै करया था,
That is what he strongly promised our ancestor Abraham that he would do.
74 उसनै वादा करया सै, के वो म्हारे दुश्मनां कै हाथ तै हमनै छुड़ावैगा,
God told him that we would be rescued {he would rescue us} from the power of our enemies, that he would enable us to serve him without being afraid,
75 ताके जिन्दगी भर उसकै आग्गै पवित्रता अर धार्मिकता तै बिना डरें उसकी सेवा कर सकां।
that he would cause us to be completely dedicated to him, and enable us to live righteously all of our lives.”
76 हे मेरे बेट्टे, तू परमप्रधान का नबी कुह्वावैगा, क्यूँके तू प्रभु का रास्ता त्यार करण कै खात्तर आग्गै-आग्गै चाल्लैगा,
[Then Zechariah said this to] his little son: “My child, you will be called {people will say that you are} a prophet whom God [MTY/EUP] has sent; you will begin your work before (the Lord/Messiah) comes; you will prepare people so that they will be ready for him. (OR, you will begin your work before the Messiah comes).
77 तू उसकै माणसां नै उद्धार का ज्ञान देगा, जो पापां की माफी तै मिलै सै।
You will tell God’s people how he will forgive them and save them from being punished for 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
Our God will do that because he is very kind to us. Just like a new day begins when the sun rises [MET], God will do that new thing for us when the Messiah comes to us from heaven.
79 ताके अन्धेरे अर मौत की छाया म्ह बैठण आळा नै रोशनी दे, वा रोशनी सही राह पै चाल्लण म्ह म्हारी मदद करैगी।”
People who do not know God [MET] are like those who sit in the darkness. They are afraid [MTY] that they will soon die. But when the Messiah tells us God’s message, it will be like causing such people to see a bright light. He will guide us [SYN] so that we will be living peacefully.”
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।
[Later], Zechariah’s son grew up and became spiritually strong. Then he lived in a desolate region until he began to preach to the Israeli people.
