1 उन दिनां म्ह औगुस्तुस कैसर की कान्ही तै हुकम लिकड़या के, सारे रोमी साम्राज्य कै माणसां की जनगणना करकै उनके नाम लिक्खे जावै।
Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
2 (या पैहली नाम लिखाई उस बखत होई, जिब क्‍विरिनियुस सीरिया परदेस कै इलाके का राज्यपाल था)।
This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 सारे माणस नाम लिखाण कै खात्तर अपणे-अपणे पुश्तैनी नगर म्ह गए।
All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
4 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,
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 ताके अपणी मंगेतर मरियम कै गेल्या जो गर्भवती थी, उस जनगणना म्ह नाम लिखवावै।
to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
6 उनकै बैतलहम नगर रहन्दे होए उसके जाम्मण के दिन पूरे होए,
While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
7 अर मरियम नै अपणा जेट्ठा छोरा जाम्या अर उस ताहीं लत्ते म्ह लपेटकै खोर म्ह धरया, क्यूँके उनकै खात्तर सराये म्ह जगहां कोनी थी।
She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 अर उस देश म्ह कई पाळी थे, जो रात नै मदानां म्ह रहकै अपणी भेड्डां के टोळ की रुखाळ करै थे।
There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 अर उस्से रात नै प्रभु का एक सुर्गदूत उनकै धोरै आण खड्या होया, अर प्रभु का प्रताप उसकै उप्पर चमक्या, अर वे घणे डरगे।
Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 सुर्गदूत नै उनतै कह्या, “मतना डरो, क्यूँके देक्खों, मै थमनै घणी खुशी की खबर सुणाऊँ सूं, जो सारे माणसां खात्तर होगी,
The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
11 आज दाऊद कै नगर बैतलहम म्ह थारे खात्तर एक उद्धारकर्ता जाम्या सै, अर योए मसीह प्रभु सै।
For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 अर उसकी थारे खात्तर या निशान्नी होगी के थम एक बाळक नै लत्ते म्ह लिपट्या होड़ अर खोर म्ह लेट्या होड़ पाओगे।”
This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
13 फेर चाणचक उस सुर्गदूत गेल्या सुर्गदूत्तां का एक टोळ परमेसवर की भगति करदे होए अर न्यू कहन्दे दिख्या,
Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
14 “अकास म्ह परमेसवर की महिमा अर धरती पै उन माणसां म्ह जिनतै वो राज्जी सै, शान्ति हो।”
“Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
15 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।”
When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 अर उननै जिब्बे जाकै मरियम अर यूसुफ ताहीं अर खोर म्ह उस बाळक ताहीं लेट्या देख्या।
They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
17 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।
When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18 अर पाळीयाँ की ये बात सुणकै सारे सुणण आळा नै अचम्भा करया।
All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 पर मरियम ये बात अपणे मन म्ह धरकै सोचदी रई।
But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 अर जिसा पाळीयाँ ताहीं सुर्गदूत्तां नै कह्या था, सब कुछ उसाए सुणकै अर देखकै, वे परमेसवर की महिमा अर जय-जयकार करदे होए बोहड़गे।
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
21 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।
When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 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,
When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
23 (जिसा के प्रभु के नियम-कायदा म्ह लिख्या होड़ सै: हरेक जेट्ठा बेट्टा प्रभु कै खात्तर पवित्र ठहरैगा।)
(as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
24 अर प्रभु कै नियम-कायदा कै वचन कै मुताबिक “एक कबूतर या मोड्डी कै दो बच्चे ल्याकै बलि करै।”
and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
25 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।
Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
26 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।
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 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,
He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
28 फेर उसनै बाळक यीशु ताहीं अपणी गोद्दी म्ह लिया अर परमेसवर का धन्यवाद करकै कह्या
then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
29 “हे प्रभु माल्लिक, इब तू अपणे दास नै अपणे वचन कै मुताबिक शान्ति तै इब मर जाणदे,
“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
30 क्यूँके मेरी आँखां नै उद्धारकर्ता ताहीं देख लिया सै,
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 जिस ताहीं तन्नै सारे देशां के माणसां कै स्याम्ही भेज्या सै,
which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 ताके वो गैर यहूदियाँ ताहीं चाँदणा देण कै खात्तर उजाळा, अर तेरे अपणे माणस इस्राएल की महिमा हो।”
a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
33 यीशु के माँ-बाप इन बात्तां तै, जो शमौन नै यीशु कै बारें म्ह कही थी, सुणकै अचम्भा करै थे।
Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
34 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।
Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 इसका नतिज्जा यो होगा के भोत सारे मनां के विचार जाहिर हो जावैंगे, अर एक भोत बड़ा दुख तेरे पै आवैगा।”
Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
36 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।
There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
37 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।
and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 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।
Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 यहूदी नियम-कायदा नै पूरा करण कै बाद यूसुफ अर मरियम गलील परदेस के नासरत नगर म्ह अपणे घरां बोहड़ आये।
When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
40 अर बाळक यीशु बढ़दा, अर मजबूत होन्दा, अर बुद्धि तै भरपूर होंदा गया, अर परमेसवर का अनुग्रह उसपै था।
The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
41 यीशु के माँ-बाप हरेक साल फसह कै त्यौहार म्ह यरुशलेम जाया करै थे।
His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
42 जिब यीशु बारहां साल का होया, तो वे त्यौहार की रीति कै मुताबिक यरुशलेम नगर म्ह गए।
When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
43 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।
and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know it,
44 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।
but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 पर जिब कोनी मिल्या, टोन्दे-टोन्दे यरुशलेम म्ह दुबारै बोहड़गे,
When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
46 अर तीन दिन कै पाच्छै उननै वो मन्दर के आँगण म्ह उपदेशकां कै बिचाळै बेठ्ठे, उनकी सुणदे अर उनतै सवाल बुझते पाया।
After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
47 जितने उसकी सुणै थे, वे सारे उसकी समझ अर उसके जवाब तै हैरान थे।
All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 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?”
When they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”
49 उसनै उनतै कह्या, “थम मन्नै क्यातै टोह्वो सो? के बेरा कोनी मन्नै मेरे पिता कै घरां होणा जरूरी सै?”
He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did not you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 पर जो बात उसनै उनतै कही, उननै कोनी समझया।
They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
51 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।
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 अर यीशु समझ अर कद-काट्ठी म्ह, अर परमेसवर अर माणसां कै अनुग्रह म्ह बढ़दा गया।
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
