लूका 1
Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us,
as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us,
3 ३ इसलिए हे श्रीमान थियुफिलुस मुझे भी यह उचित मालूम हुआ कि उन सब बातों का सम्पूर्ण हाल आरम्भ से ठीक-ठीक जाँच करके उन्हें तेरे लिये क्रमानुसार लिखूँ,
it has seemed good to me also, accurately acquainted from the origin with all things, to write to thee with method, most excellent Theophilus,
that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed.
5 ५ यहूदिया के राजा हेरोदेस के समय अबिय्याह के दल में जकर्याह नाम का एक याजक था, और उसकी पत्नी हारून के वंश की थी, जिसका नाम एलीशिबा था।
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
6 ६ और वे दोनों परमेश्वर के सामने धर्मी थे, और प्रभु की सारी आज्ञाओं और विधियों पर निर्दोष चलनेवाले थे।
And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
And it came to pass, as he fulfilled his priestly service before God in the order of his course,
it fell to him by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
And all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
And an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
And Zacharias was troubled, seeing [him], and fear fell upon him.
13 १३ परन्तु स्वर्गदूत ने उससे कहा, “हे जकर्याह, भयभीत न हो क्योंकि तेरी प्रार्थना सुन ली गई है और तेरी पत्नी एलीशिबा से तेरे लिये एक पुत्र उत्पन्न होगा, और तू उसका नाम यूहन्ना रखना।
But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
And he shall be to thee joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 १५ क्योंकि वह प्रभु के सामने महान होगा; और दाखरस और मदिरा कभी न पीएगा; और अपनी माता के गर्भ ही से पवित्र आत्मा से परिपूर्ण हो जाएगा।
For he shall be great before [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.
And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to [the] Lord their God.
17 १७ वह एलिय्याह की आत्मा और सामर्थ्य में होकर उसके आगे-आगे चलेगा, कि पिताओं का मन बाल-बच्चों की ओर फेर दे; और आज्ञा न माननेवालों को धर्मियों की समझ पर लाए; और प्रभु के लिये एक योग्य प्रजा तैयार करे।”
And he shall go before him in [the] spirit and power of Elias, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to [the] thoughts of just [men], to make ready for [the] Lord a prepared people.
18 १८ जकर्याह ने स्वर्गदूत से पूछा, “यह मैं कैसे जानूँ? क्योंकि मैं तो बूढ़ा हूँ; और मेरी पत्नी भी बूढ़ी हो गई है।”
And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?
19 १९ स्वर्गदूत ने उसको उत्तर दिया, “मैं गब्रिएल हूँ, जो परमेश्वर के सामने खड़ा रहता हूँ; और मैं तुझ से बातें करने और तुझे यह सुसमाचार सुनाने को भेजा गया हूँ।
And the angel answering, said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand before God, and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to bring these glad tidings to thee;
20 २० और देख, जिस दिन तक ये बातें पूरी न हो लें, उस दिन तक तू मौन रहेगा, और बोल न सकेगा, इसलिए कि तूने मेरी बातों की जो अपने समय पर पूरी होंगी, विश्वास न किया।”
and behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because thou hast not believed my words, the which shall be fulfilled in their time.
And the people were awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying in the temple.
22 २२ जब वह बाहर आया, तो उनसे बोल न सका अतः वे जान गए, कि उसने मन्दिर में कोई दर्शन पाया है; और वह उनसे संकेत करता रहा, और गूँगा रह गया।
But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they recognised that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, and continued dumb.
And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, he departed to his house.
24 २४ इन दिनों के बाद उसकी पत्नी एलीशिबा गर्भवती हुई; और पाँच महीने तक अपने आपको यह कह के छिपाए रखा।
Now after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 २५ “मनुष्यों में मेरा अपमान दूर करने के लिये प्रभु ने इन दिनों में कृपादृष्टि करके मेरे लिये ऐसा किया है।”
Thus has [the] Lord done to me in [these] days in which he looked upon [me] to take away my reproach among men.
But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which [the] name [was] Nazareth,
27 २७ एक कुँवारी के पास भेजा गया। जिसकी मंगनी यूसुफ नाम दाऊद के घराने के एक पुरुष से हुई 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 २८ और स्वर्गदूत ने उसके पास भीतर आकर कहा, “आनन्द और जय तेरी हो, जिस पर परमेश्वर का अनुग्रह हुआ है! प्रभु तेरे साथ है!”
And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, [thou] favoured one! the Lord [is] with thee: [blessed art thou amongst women].
But she, [seeing] [the angel], was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.
And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
32 ३२ वह महान होगा; और परमप्रधान का पुत्र कहलाएगा; और प्रभु परमेश्वर उसके पिता दाऊद का सिंहासन उसको देगा।
He shall be great, and shall be called Son of [the] Highest; and [the] Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father;
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for the ages, and of his kingdom there shall not be an end. (aiōn g165)
But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
35 ३५ स्वर्गदूत ने उसको उत्तर दिया, “पवित्र आत्मा तुझ पर उतरेगा, और परमप्रधान की सामर्थ्य तुझ पर छाया करेगी; इसलिए वह पवित्र जो उत्पन्न होनेवाला है, परमेश्वर का पुत्र कहलाएगा।
And the angel answering said to her, [The] Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of [the] Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God.
36 ३६ और देख, और तेरी कुटुम्बिनी एलीशिबा के भी बुढ़ापे में पुत्र होनेवाला है, यह उसका, जो बाँझ कहलाती थी छठवाँ महीना है।
And behold, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren:
for nothing shall be impossible with God.
38 ३८ मरियम ने कहा, “देख, मैं प्रभु की दासी हूँ, तेरे वचन के अनुसार मेरे साथ ऐसा हो।” तब स्वर्गदूत उसके पास से चला गया।
And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of [the] Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,
and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
41 ४१ जैसे ही एलीशिबा ने मरियम का नमस्कार सुना, वैसे ही बच्चा उसके पेट में उछला, और एलीशिबा पवित्र आत्मा से परिपूर्ण हो गई।
And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with [the] Holy Spirit,
and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed [art] thou amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb.
And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 ४४ और देख जैसे ही तेरे नमस्कार का शब्द मेरे कानों में पड़ा वैसे ही बच्चा मेरे पेट में आनन्द से उछल पड़ा।
For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb.
And blessed [is] she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from [the] Lord.
And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 ४८ क्योंकि उसने अपनी दासी की दीनता पर दृष्टि की है; इसलिए देखो, अब से सब युग-युग के लोग मुझे धन्य कहेंगे।
For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For the Mighty One has done to me great things, and holy [is] his name;
and his mercy [is] to generations and generations to them that fear him.
He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty [ones] in the thought of their heart.
He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty.
He has helped Israel his servant, in order to remember mercy,
(as he spoke to our fathers, ) to Abraham and to his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house.
But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son.
58 ५८ उसके पड़ोसियों और कुटुम्बियों ने यह सुनकर, कि प्रभु ने उस पर बड़ी दया की है, उसके साथ आनन्दित हुए।
And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that [the] Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 ५९ और ऐसा हुआ कि आठवें दिन वे बालक का खतना करने आए और उसका नाम उसके पिता के नाम पर जकर्याह रखने लगे।
And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias.
And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John.
And they said to her, There is no one among thy kinsfolk who is called by this name.
And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called.
And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.
65 ६५ और उसके आस-पास के सब रहनेवालों पर भय छा गया; और उन सब बातों की चर्चा यहूदिया के सारे पहाड़ी देश में फैल गई।
And fear came upon all who dwelt round about them; and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these things were the subject of conversation.
66 ६६ और सब सुननेवालों ने अपने-अपने मन में विचार करके कहा, “यह बालक कैसा होगा?” क्योंकि प्रभु का हाथ उसके साथ था।
And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? And [the] Lord's hand was with him.
And Zacharias his father was filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Blessed be [the] Lord the God of Israel, because he has visited and wrought redemption for his people,
and raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of David his servant;
70 ७० जैसे उसने अपने पवित्र भविष्यद्वक्ताओं के द्वारा जो जगत के आदि से होते आए हैं, कहा था, (aiōn g165)
as he spoke by [the] mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began; (aiōn g165)
deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;
to fulfil mercy with our fathers and remember his holy covenant,
[the] oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
to give us, that, saved out of the hand of our enemies, we should serve him without fear
in piety and righteousness before him all our days.
76 ७६ और तू हे बालक, परमप्रधान का भविष्यद्वक्ता कहलाएगा, क्योंकि तू प्रभु के मार्ग तैयार करने के लिये उसके आगे-आगे चलेगा,
And thou, child, shalt be called [the] prophet of [the] Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of [the] Lord to make ready his ways;
to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by [the] remission of their sins
on account of [the] bowels of mercy of our God; wherein [the] dayspring from on high has visited us,
79 ७९ कि अंधकार और मृत्यु की छाया में बैठनेवालों को ज्योति दे, और हमारे पाँवों को कुशल के मार्ग में सीधे चलाए।”
to shine upon them who were sitting in darkness and in [the] shadow of death, to guide our feet into [the] way of peace.
80 ८० और वह बालक यूहन्ना, बढ़ता और आत्मा में बलवन्त होता गया और इस्राएल पर प्रगट होने के दिन तक जंगलों में रहा।
— And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.
