1 हे जनाब थियुफिलुस, घणखरयां माणसां नै म्हारै बिचाळै घटी बात्तां का ब्यौरा लिखण की कोशिश करी सै।
Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the events that 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।
just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us,
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 carefully investigated all things from the beginning, to write an orderly account for yoʋ, most excellent Theophilus,
4 के तू या जाण ले के वो बात जिनकी तन्नै शिक्षा पाई सै, वो सच्ची सै।
so that yoʋ may know the certainty of the things about which yoʋ have been 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।
In the days of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah who belonged to the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 वे दोन्नु परमेसवर कै स्याम्ही धर्मी थे, अर प्रभु कै सारे हुकम अर नियमां पै बेखोट चालण आळे थे।
They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and regulations of the Lord.
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 was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
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,
While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God when his division was on duty,
9 तो याजकां की रीत कै मुताबिक उसकै नाम की चिट्ठी लिकड़ी के प्रभु कै मन्दर म्ह जाकै धूप जळावै।
he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10 धूप जळाण कै बखत माणसां की भीड़ बाहरणै आँगण म्ह प्रार्थना करै थी।
At the hour of incense a great crowd was assembled outside, praying.
11 उस बखत प्रभु का एक सुर्गदूत धूप की वेदी कै सोळी ओड़ खड्या दिख्या।
Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 जकरयाह देखकै घबराग्या अर घणा डरग्या।
When Zechariah saw him, he was startled, 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 to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for yoʋr prayer has been heard. Yoʋr wife Elizabeth will bear yoʋ a son, and yoʋ shall name him John.
14 वो तेरे ताहीं तो आनन्द अर खुशी देवैएगा, साथ म्ह भोत-से माणस भी उसकै जन्म तै राज्जी होवैगें।
Yoʋ will have joy and gladness, and many will 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 will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink any wine or strong drink, and he will 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।
He will turn many of the sons of Israel to 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 will go before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers back to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
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।”
Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this for certain? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in her days.”
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।
The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God and was sent to speak to yoʋ and bring yoʋ this good news.
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।”
But behold, yoʋ will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because yoʋ did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their appointed time.”
21 बाहर जकरयाह की बाट देक्खण आळे माणस अचम्भे म्ह पड़गे, कै उसनै मन्दर म्ह इतनी वार क्यूँ लाग्गी।
Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering about his delay 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।
When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, because he kept making signs to them and remained unable to speak.
23 जिब उसकी याजकीय सेवा कै दिन पूरे होए, तो वो यरुशलेम नगर नै छोड़ अपणे घरां चल्या गया।
And when the days of his service had come to an end, he returned to his home.
24 कई दिनां पाच्छै उसकी घरआळी एलीशिबा गर्भवती होग्यी, अर पाँच महिन्ने तैई अपणे-आप ताहीं ल्हकोए राख्या,
After those days his wife Elizabeth conceived and kept herself in seclusion for 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।”
“The Lord has done this for me. In these days he has looked upon me with favor and taken away my reproach among the people.”
26 एलीशिबा कै छठा महिन्ना चढ़ रह्या था, परमेसवर की ओड़ तै जिब्राईल सुर्गदूत, गलील परदेस कै नासरत नगर म्ह,
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called 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 named Joseph, of the house of David. 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!”
The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with yoʋ! Blessed are yoʋ among women!”
29 मरियम या बात सुणकै भोत घबरा ग्यी, अर सोच म्ह पड़गी कै इन बात्तां का के मतलब हो सकै सै?
But when Mary saw him, she was greatly perplexed by his statement and began wondering what sort of greeting this could be.
30 सुर्गदूत नै उसतै कह्या, “हे मरियम, डरै ना, क्यूँके परमेसवर का अनुग्रह तेरे पै होया सै।
Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for yoʋ have found favor with God.
31 अर देख, तू गर्भवती होगी, अर तेरे एक छोरा पैदा होगा, तू उसका नाम यीशु धरिये।
And behold, yoʋ will conceive in yoʋr womb and give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus.
32 वो महान् होगा अर परमप्रधान का बेट्टा कुह्वावैगा, अर प्रभु परमेसवर उसकै पूर्वज दाऊद का सिंहासन उसनै देवैगा,
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give 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)
He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
34 मरियम नै सुर्गदूत तै कह्या, “यो किस तरियां होगा। मै तो कुँवारी सूं।”
Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
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 answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon yoʋ, and the power of the Most High will overshadow yoʋ; therefore the holy child that is to be born will 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, yoʋr relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren.
37 क्यूँके परमेसवर खात्तर कुछ भी मुश्किल कोनी सै।”
For nothing is impossible with God.”
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, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; may it happen to me according to yoʋr word.” And the angel left her.
39 कई दिनां बाद मरियम ताव्ली तैयार होकै पहाड़ी परदेस के यहूदा नगर म्ह ग्यी,
In those days Mary arose and went with haste to the hill country, to a town of Judah,
40 अर जकरयाह कै घर म्ह जाकै एलीशिबा ताहीं नमस्कार करया।
where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 ज्योए एलीशिबा नै मरियम का नमस्कार सुण्या, त्योंए बाळक उसके पेट म्ह उछळ्या, अर एलीशिबा पवित्र आत्मा तै भरगी।
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth 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!
Then she exclaimed with a loud voice, “Blessed are yoʋ among women, and blessed is the fruit of yoʋr womb!
43 मै खुशनसीब सूं जो प्रभु की माँ मेरै धोरै मिलण खात्तर आई?
How has this happened to me that the mother of my Lord should come to 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 sound of yoʋr greeting came into my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45 धन्य सै तू क्यूँके तन्नै बिश्वास करया कै जो बात प्रभु नै तेरे ताहीं कही, वे पूरी होई!”
Blessed is she who has believed, for what the Lord has spoken to her will be fulfilled.”
46 फेर मरियम नै कह्या, “मेरा जी प्रभु की बड़ाई करै सै
Then Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 अर मेरी आत्मा मेरै उद्धार करण आळे परमेसवर तै खुश होई,”
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 “क्यूँके उसनै अपणी दास्सी की लाचारी पै निगांह करी सै, इस खात्तर देक्खो, इब तै सारे युग-युग कै माणस मन्नै धन्य कहवैगें,”
because he has looked favorably on the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 “क्यूँके उस शक्तिशाली नै मेरै खात्तर बड़े-बड़े काम करै सै। उसका नाम पवित्र सै,”
because the Mighty One has done great things for me; holy is his name.
50 “अर उसकी दया उनपै, जो उसतै डरै सै, पीढ़ी तै पीढ़ी बणी रहवैं सै।”
From generation to generation his mercy is upon those who 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 has done a mighty deed with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 “उसनै शासकां ताहीं उनकै सिंहासनां पै तै गिरा दिया, अर नम्र लोग्गां ताहीं ऊँच्चा उठा दिया।”
He has brought down rulers from their thrones and exalted the lowly.
53 “उसनै भूख्या ताहीं बढ़िया चिज्जां तै छिकाया सै, अर साहूकारां ताहीं खाल्ली हाथ भेज दिया।”
He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent away empty.
54 “उसनै अपणे सेवक इस्राएल ताहीं सम्भाल लिया, ताके अपणी उस दया नै याद करै,”
He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy,
55 “जो उसनै अब्राहम अर उसकी पीढ़ी पै सदा खात्तर दया करण का वादा करया सै।” (aiōn g165)
just as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 मरियम करीब तीन महिन्ने उसकै गेल्या रहकै उल्टी अपणे घरां चली ग्यी।
And Mary remained with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned to her house.
57 फेर एलीशिबा कै दिन पूरे होए अर उसनै बेट्टा जाम्या।
Now the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son.
58 उसके पड़ोसी अर रिश्तेदारां नै या सुणकै के प्रभु नै उसपै बड़ी दया करी सै, उसकै गेल्या खुशी मनाई,
Then her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with 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।
On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father.
60 इस पर उसकी माँ एलीशिबा नै जवाब दिया, “ना, इसका नाम यूहन्ना धरो।”
But the child's mother responded, “No! He is to be called John.”
61 उननै उस ताहीं कह्या, “तेरे रिश्तेदारा म्ह किसे का यो नाम न्ही सै!”
But they said to her, “There is no one among yoʋr relatives who has that name.”
62 फेर उसकै पिता तै इशारा करकै पूच्छया कै तू उसका नाम कै धरणा चाहवै सै?
Then they began making signs to the child's father to find out what he wanted to name him.
63 उसनै लिखण की पट्टी पै लिख दिया, “उसका नाम यूहन्ना सै,” अर सारा नै अचम्भा होया।
So he asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
64 फेर उसकी आवाज बोहड़ आई, अर वो बोल्लण अर परमेसवर का धन्यवाद करण लाग्या।
At once Zechariah's mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, 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,
Then fear came upon all who dwelt around them, and in the entire hill country of Judea all these things were being discussed.
66 अर सब सुणण आळा नै अपणे-अपणे मन म्ह विचार करकै कह्या, “यो बाळक किसा होगा?” क्यूँके प्रभु की शक्ति उसकै साथ सै।
All who heard about this laid it up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 उसका पिता जकरयाह पवित्र आत्मा तै भरग्या, अर भविष्यवाणी करण लाग्या:
Then Zechariah, the child's father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
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 has visited his people and brought them redemption.
69 अर अपणे दास दाऊद कै घराने म्ह म्हारै खात्तर एक शक्तिशाली उद्धारकर्ता ताहीं भेज्या सै,
He has raised up for us a horn of salvation in the house of his servant David
70 (भोत पैहले प्रभु नै अपणे पवित्र नबियाँ कै जरिये यो कह्या था) (aiōn g165)
(just as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets long ago), (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 who hate us—
72 उसनै कह्या, के वो म्हारै पूर्वजां पै दया करैगा अर अपणे पवित्र करार नै याद राक्खैगा,
to deal mercifully with our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
73 अर वो करार जो उसनै म्हारै पूर्वज अब्राहम तै करया था,
the oath he swore to Abraham our father, to grant us
74 उसनै वादा करया सै, के वो म्हारे दुश्मनां कै हाथ तै हमनै छुड़ावैगा,
that we, having been rescued from the hands of our enemies, might 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 the days of our lives.
76 हे मेरे बेट्टे, तू परमप्रधान का नबी कुह्वावैगा, क्यूँके तू प्रभु का रास्ता त्यार करण कै खात्तर आग्गै-आग्गै चाल्लैगा,
And yoʋ, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for yoʋ will go before the presence of the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 तू उसकै माणसां नै उद्धार का ज्ञान देगा, जो पापां की माफी तै मिलै सै।
to give his people knowledge of salvation through 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
through the tender mercy of our God, by which the sunrise has visited us from on high,
79 ताके अन्धेरे अर मौत की छाया म्ह बैठण आळा नै रोशनी दे, वा रोशनी सही राह पै चाल्लण म्ह म्हारी मदद करैगी।”
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in 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 became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
