लूका 2
1 १ उन दिनों में औगुस्तुस कैसर की ओर से आज्ञा निकली, कि सारे रोमी साम्राज्य के लोगों के नाम लिखे जाएँ।
Just at this time an edict was issued by Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole Empire.
It was the first registration made during the governorship of Quirinius in Syria;
and all went to be registered--every one to the town to which he belonged.
4 ४ अतः यूसुफ भी इसलिए कि वह दाऊद के घराने और वंश का था, गलील के नासरत नगर से यहूदिया में दाऊद के नगर बैतलहम को गया।
So Joseph went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judaea, to David's town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
to have himself registered together with Mary, who was betrothed to him and was with child.
But while they were there, her full time came,
7 ७ और वह अपना पहलौठा पुत्र जनी और उसे कपड़े में लपेटकर चरनी में रखा; क्योंकि उनके लिये सराय में जगह न थी।
and she gave birth to her first-born son, and wrapped Him round, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Now there were shepherds in the same part of the country, keeping watch over their sheep by night in the open fields,
9 ९ और परमेश्वर का एक दूत उनके पास आ खड़ा हुआ; और प्रभु का तेज उनके चारों ओर चमका, और वे बहुत डर गए।
when suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they were filled with terror.
10 १० तब स्वर्गदूत ने उनसे कहा, “मत डरो; क्योंकि देखो, मैं तुम्हें बड़े आनन्द का सुसमाचार सुनाता हूँ; जो सब लोगों के लिये होगा,
But the angel said to them, "Put away all fear; for I am bringing you good news of great joy--joy for all the People.
For a Saviour who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David.
12 १२ और इसका तुम्हारे लिये यह चिन्ह है, कि तुम एक बालक को कपड़े में लिपटा हुआ और चरनी में पड़ा पाओगे।”
And this is the token for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."
13 १३ तब एकाएक उस स्वर्गदूत के साथ स्वर्गदूतों का दल परमेश्वर की स्तुति करते हुए और यह कहते दिखाई दिया,
And immediately there was with the angel a multitude of the army of Heaven praising God and saying,
"Glory be to God in the highest Heavens, And on earth peace among men who please Him!"
15 १५ जब स्वर्गदूत उनके पास से स्वर्ग को चले गए, तो गड़ेरियों ने आपस में कहा, “आओ, हम बैतलहम जाकर यह बात जो हुई है, और जिसे प्रभु ने हमें बताया है, देखें।”
Then, as soon as the angels had left them and returned to Heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go over as far as Bethlehem and see this that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."
So they made haste and came and found Mary and Joseph, with the babe lying in the manger.
And when they saw the child, they told what had been said to them about Him;
and all who listened were astonished at what the shepherds told them.
But Mary treasured up all these things, often dwelling on them in her mind.
20 २० और गड़ेरिये जैसा उनसे कहा गया था, वैसा ही सब सुनकर और देखकर परमेश्वर की महिमा और स्तुति करते हुए लौट गए।
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen in accordance with the announcement made to them.
21 २१ जब आठ दिन पूरे हुए, और उसके खतने का समय आया, तो उसका नाम यीशु रखा गया, यह नाम स्वर्गदूत द्वारा, उसके गर्भ में आने से पहले दिया गया था।
When eight days had passed and the time for circumcising Him had come, He was called JESUS, the name given Him by the angel before His conception in the womb.
22 २२ और जब मूसा की व्यवस्था के अनुसार मरियम के शुद्ध होने के दिन पूरे हुए तो यूसुफ और मरियम उसे यरूशलेम में ले गए, कि प्रभु के सामने लाएँ।
And when the days for their purification appointed by the Law of Moses had passed, they took Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord--
as it is written in the Law of the Lord: "Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord."
24 २४ और प्रभु की व्यवस्था के वचन के अनुसार, “पण्डुकों का एक जोड़ा, या कबूतर के दो बच्चे लाकर बलिदान करें।”
And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord, "a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons."
25 २५ उस समय यरूशलेम में शमौन नामक एक मनुष्य था, और वह मनुष्य धर्मी और भक्त था; और इस्राएल की शान्ति की प्रतीक्षा कर रहा था, और पवित्र आत्मा उस पर था।
Now there was a man in Jerusalem of the name of Symeon, an upright and God-fearing man, who was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 २६ और पवित्र आत्मा के द्वारा प्रकट हुआ, कि जब तक तू प्रभु के मसीह को देख न लेगा, तब तक मृत्यु को न देखेगा।
To him it had been revealed by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death until he had seen the Lord's Anointed One.
27 २७ और वह आत्मा के सिखाने से मन्दिर में आया; और जब माता-पिता उस बालक यीशु को भीतर लाए, कि उसके लिये व्यवस्था की रीति के अनुसार करें,
Led by the Spirit he came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do with regard to Him according to the custom of the Law,
he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
"Now, O Sovereign Lord, Thou dost send Thy servant away in peace, in fulfilment of Thy word,
Because mine eyes have seen Thy salvation,
Which Thou hast made ready in the sight of all nations--
32 ३२ कि वह अन्यजातियों को सत्य प्रकट करने के लिए एक ज्योति होगा, और तेरे निज लोग इस्राएल की महिमा हो।”
A light to shine upon the Gentiles, And the glory of Thy people Israel."
And while the child's father and mother were wondering at the words of Symeon concerning Him,
34 ३४ तब शमौन ने उनको आशीष देकर, उसकी माता मरियम से कहा, “देख, वह तो इस्राएल में बहुतों के गिरने, और उठने के लिये, और एक ऐसा चिन्ह होने के लिये ठहराया गया है, जिसके विरोध में बातें की जाएँगी
Symeon blessed them and said to Mary the mother, "This child is appointed for the falling and the uprising of many in Israel and for a token to be spoken against;
and a sword will pierce through your own soul also; that the reasonings in many hearts may be revealed."
36 ३६ और आशेर के गोत्र में से हन्नाह नामक फनूएल की बेटी एक भविष्यद्वक्तिन थी: वह बहुत बूढ़ी थी, और विवाह होने के बाद सात वर्ष अपने पति के साथ रह पाई थी।
There was also Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, belonging to the tribe of Asher. She was of a very great age, having had after her maidenhood seven years of married life,
37 ३७ वह चौरासी वर्ष की विधवा थी: और मन्दिर को नहीं छोड़ती थी पर उपवास और प्रार्थना कर करके रात-दिन उपासना किया करती थी।
and then being a widow of eighty-four years. She was never absent from the Temple, but worshipped, by day and by night, with fasting and prayer.
38 ३८ और वह उस घड़ी वहाँ आकर परमेश्वर का धन्यवाद करने लगी, और उन सभी से, जो यरूशलेम के छुटकारे की प्रतीक्षा कर रहे थे, उसके विषय में बातें करने लगी।
And coming up just at that moment, she gave thanks to God, and spoke about the child to all who were expecting the deliverance of Jerusalem.
39 ३९ और जब वे प्रभु की व्यवस्था के अनुसार सब कुछ निपटा चुके तो गलील में अपने नगर नासरत को फिर चले गए।
Then, as soon as they had accomplished all that the Law required, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
40 ४० और बालक बढ़ता, और बलवन्त होता, और बुद्धि से परिपूर्ण होता गया; और परमेश्वर का अनुग्रह उस पर था।
And the child grew and became strong and full of wisdom, and the favour of God rested upon Him.
Now His parents used to go up year by year to Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover.
And when He was twelve years old they went up as was customary at the time of the Feast, and,
43 ४३ और जब वे उन दिनों को पूरा करके लौटने लगे, तो वह बालक यीशु यरूशलेम में रह गया; और यह उसके माता-पिता नहीं जानते थे।
after staying the full number of days, when they started back home the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not discover this,
44 ४४ वे यह समझकर, कि वह और यात्रियों के साथ होगा, एक दिन का पड़ाव निकल गए: और उसे अपने कुटुम्बियों और जान-पहचानवालों में ढूँढ़ने लगे।
but supposing Him to be in the travelling company, they proceeded a day's journey. Then they searched up and down for Him among their relatives and acquaintances;
but being unable to find Him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for Him.
46 ४६ और तीन दिन के बाद उन्होंने उसे मन्दिर में उपदेशकों के बीच में बैठे, उनकी सुनते और उनसे प्रश्न करते हुए पाया।
On the third day they found Him in the Temple sitting among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking them questions,
while all who heard Him were astonished at His intelligence and at the answers He gave.
48 ४८ तब वे उसे देखकर चकित हुए और उसकी माता ने उससे कहा, “हे पुत्र, तूने हम से क्यों ऐसा व्यवहार किया? देख, तेरा पिता और मैं कुढ़ते हुए तुझे ढूँढ़ते थे।”
When they saw Him, they were smitten with amazement, and His mother said to Him, "My child, why have you behaved thus to us? Your father and I have been searching for you in anguish."
49 ४९ उसने उनसे कहा, “तुम मुझे क्यों ढूँढ़ते थे? क्या नहीं जानते थे, किमुझे अपने पिता के भवन मेंहोना अवश्य है?”
"Why is it that you have been searching for me?" He replied; "did you not know that it is my duty to be engaged upon my Father's business?"
But they did not understand the significance of these words.
51 ५१ तब वह उनके साथ गया, और नासरत में आया, और उनके वश में रहा; और उसकी माता ने ये सब बातें अपने मन में रखीं।
Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was always obedient to them; but His mother carefully treasured up all these incidents in her memory.
And as Jesus grew older He gained in both wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
