लूका 2
1 १ उन दिनों में औगुस्तुस कैसर की ओर से आज्ञा निकली, कि सारे रोमी साम्राज्य के लोगों के नाम लिखे जाएँ।
Now in those days an edict was published by Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be enrolled or taxed,
(this tax was first levied when Cyrenius was governor of Syria) and they all went to be enrolled,
every one to his own city:
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 also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem (because he
was of the house and line of David) to be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was big with child.
And while they were there, the days of her delivery were fulfilled,
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 brought forth her son, the first-born, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night: and lo,
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।
an angel of the Lord stood over them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them, and they were greatly terrified:
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,
and the angel said to them, Be not affrighted; for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people,
that this day is born, in the city of David, your Saviour Christ the Lord.
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 shall be a sign to you, Ye shall find the child wrapped in swaddling bands 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 on a sudden there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host,
praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-will towards men.
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।”
And when the angels went from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us go to Bethlehem, and see this which hath been told us, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
And they came with speed, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger:
and when they had seen it, they divulged what had been told them concerning this child:
and all that heard it, were amazed at the things which were related to them by the shepherds.
But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering them in her heart.
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 the things which they had heard and seen, according as it had been told unto 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।
And when eight days were fulfilled for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, having been so called by the angel before He was conceived 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 of her purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him before the Lord:
(as it is written in the law of the Lord, That every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord: ) and to offer a sacrifice,
24 २४ और प्रभु की व्यवस्था के वचन के अनुसार, “पण्डुकों का एक जोड़ा, या कबूतर के दो बच्चे लाकर बलिदान करें।”
according to what is required 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।
And there was a man at Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and he was a just and a religious man, who expected 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।
And it was revealed to him by the holy Spirit, that he should not die before he had seen the Anointed of the Lord.
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,
And he came by the influence of the Spirit into the temple, as his parents brought in the child Jesus to do concerning Him according to the custom of the law:
and he took Him into his arms,
and blessed God, and said, "Now, Lord, thou dismissest thy servant in peace, according to thy word;
for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast provided in the sight of all people,
a light for the enlightening of the Gentiles,
32 ३२ कि वह अन्यजातियों को सत्य प्रकट करने के लिए एक ज्योति होगा, और तेरे निज लोग इस्राएल की महिमा हो।”
and the glory of thy people Israel."
And Joseph and his mother were amazed at the things that were spoken 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
And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be spoken against,
(and a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be discovered.
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।
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; who was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her first marrying,
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 had been a widow about eighty four years; who departed not from the temple; serving God with fastings and prayers night and day.
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 in at the very same time, gave thanks unto the Lord, and spake of Him to all that were looking for redemption in 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।
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city 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 in spirit, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
Now his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover:
and when He was twelve years old, going up to Jerusalem, as usual at the feast, and having finished the time,
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।
when they returned, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem: and Joseph and his mother did not know it;
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 company, went a day's journey, and then sought for Him among their kindred and acquaintance:
and not finding Him they returned to Jerusalem seeking 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।
and after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, attending to them and asking them questions.
And all that heard Him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
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।”
And when they saw Him, they were amazed. And his mother said to Him, Son, why didst thou deal thus with us? behold, thy father and I with grief have been seeking for thee.
49 ४९ उसने उनसे कहा, “तुम मुझे क्यों ढूँढ़ते थे? क्या नहीं जानते थे, किमुझे अपने पिता के भवन मेंहोना अवश्य है?”
And He said to them, Why did ye so seek me? Did not ye know that I ought to be in my Father's house?
but they did not understand the word which He spake to them.
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 subject to them. And his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
