लूक 1
1 १ ज्या गोष्टींची आम्हास पक्की खातरी आहे त्या गोष्टी जे प्रारंभापासून प्रत्यक्ष पाहाणारे व शब्दाचे सेवक होते,
Since many have undertaken to compose a history of the things that are fully believed among us,
2 २ त्यांनी त्या जशा आम्हास सोपवून दिल्या त्या तशाच सांगाव्या म्हणून त्यांविषयीचा वृत्तांत अनुक्रमाने लिहून काढण्याचे काम पुष्कळांनी हाती घेतले आहे.
even as they were delivered to us by those who were, from the beginning, eye-witnesses and ministers of the word;
3 ३ म्हणून हे थियफिला महाराज, मी सर्व गोष्टींचा मुळापासून चांगला शोध केल्यामुळे मलाही हे बरे वाटले की, या सर्व घटनांविषयीची माहिती आपणाला व्यवस्थित पणे माहिती लिहावी.
it seemed good to me also, having obtained exact information of all things from the very first, to write them in order for you, most excellent Theophilus,
that you might know the certainty of the things in which you have been instructed.
5 ५ यहूदीया प्रांताचा राजा हेरोद याच्या दिवसात, जखऱ्या नावाचा कोणी याजक होता. तो अबीयाच्या याजक घराण्यातील असून त्याची पत्नी अहरोनाच्या वंशातील होती व तिचे नाव अलीशिबा होते.
There was, in the days of Herod the king of Judea, a certain priest, named Zachariah, of the class of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
They were both righteous 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.
It came to pass, while he was officiating as priest before God, in the order of his class, that,
9 ९ याजकांच्या रीतीप्रमाणे परमेश्वराच्या भवनात धूप जाळण्यासाठी चिठ्ठ्या टाकून त्याची निवड करण्यात आली.
according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense, when he went into the temple of the Lord.
And all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the time of incense.
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
13 १३ परंतु देवदूत त्यास म्हणाला, जखऱ्या भिऊ नको, कारण तुझी प्रार्थना ऐकण्यात आली आहे आणि तुझी पत्नी अलीशिबा हिच्याकडून तुला पुत्र होईल, तू त्याचे नाव योहान ठेव.
But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachariah; for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
And you shall have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 १५ कारण तो परमेश्वराच्या दृष्टीने महान होईल आणि तो द्राक्षरस किंवा मद्य कधीच पिणार नाही व तो आईच्या गर्भात असतांनाच पवित्र आत्म्याने भरलेला असेल.
For he shall be great before the Lord; and he shall drink neither 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 आणि देवासाठी सिद्ध झालेले असे लोक तयार करायला, वडिलांची अंतःकरणे मुलांकडे आणि आज्ञा न मानणार्‍यांना नीतिमानांच्या ज्ञानाकडे वळवून प्रभूसाठी तयार केलेली प्रजा उभी करावयाला तो एलीयाच्या आत्म्याने आणि सामर्थ्याने त्यांच्यापुढे चालेल.
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient, by the wisdom of the just, in order to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.
18 १८ मग जखऱ्या देवदूताला म्हणाला, “हे घडणारच असे मी कशावरुन समजू? कारण मी वृद्ध मनुष्य आहे आणि माझी पत्नीसुद्धा उतारवयात आहे.”
And Zachariah said to the angel: By what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years.
19 १९ देवदूताने त्यास उत्तर दिले, “मी देवाच्या पुढे उभा राहणारा गब्रीएल आहे आणि तुझ्याशी बोलायला व तुलाही सुवार्ता सांगायला मला पाठविण्यात आले आहे.
And the angel answered and said to him: I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; and I am sent to speak to you, and to announce to you this good news.
20 २० पाहा, हे घडेपर्यंत तुला बोलता येणार नाही व तू मुका राहशील कारण माझे शब्द जे योग्यवेळी पूर्णपणे खरे ठरणार आहेत त्या माझ्या शब्दांवर तू विश्वास ठेवला नाहीस.”
And behold, you shall be dumb and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because you did not believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their proper time.
21 २१ तेव्हा जखऱ्याची वाट पाहणाऱ्या लोकांस तो परमेश्वराच्या भवनात इतका वेळ का राहिला याचे आश्चर्य वाटले.
And the people were waiting for Zachariah, and they wondered that he stayed so long in the temple.
22 २२ तो बाहेर आल्यावर त्यास त्यांच्याबरोबर बोलता येईना. तेव्हा त्यांना जाणिव झाली की, परमेश्वराच्या भवनात त्याने दृष्टांत पाहिला आहे. तो त्यांना खुणा करत होता परंतु तो तसाच मुका राहीला.
But when he came out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and remained speechless.
And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.
And after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself retired for five months, saying:
25 २५ लोकांमध्ये माझा होणारा अनादर दूर करण्यासाठी प्रभूने माझ्याकडे पाहिले तेव्हा त्याने माझ्यासाठी असे केले.
Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he has looked with regard upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
26 २६ अलीशिबेच्या गरोदरपणाच्या सहाव्या महिन्यात देवाने गब्रीएल दूताला गालील प्रांतातील नासरेथ नावाच्या गावी,
And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 २७ एका कुमारीकडे पाठवले. तिची दाविदाच्या घराण्यातील योसेफ नावाच्या मनुष्याशी मागणी झाली होती आणि त्या कुमारीचे नाव मरीया होते.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
And the angel came into her presence, and said: Hail, graciously accepted: the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women.
29 २९ परंतु ती त्याच्या शब्दाने अस्वस्थ झाली आणि या अभिवादनाचा अर्थ काय असावा याचे ती नवल करू लागली.
And she was perplexed at his words, and reasoned, what this salutation could mean.
And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary; for you have found favor with God.
And behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
32 ३२ तो महान होईल व त्यास थोर देवाचा पुत्र म्हणतील आणि प्रभू देव त्यास त्याचा पिता दावीद याचे राजासन देईल.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father;
33 ३३ तो याकोबाच्या घराण्यावर सर्वकाळासाठी राज्य चालवील आणि त्याच्या राज्याचा अंत होणार नाही.” (aiōn g165)
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
But Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, since I know not a man?
35 ३५ देवदूत तिला म्हणाला, पवित्र आत्मा तुझ्यावर येईल आणि थोर देवाचे सामर्थ्य तुझ्यावर सावली करील आणि म्हणून जे पवित्र बाळ जन्मास येईल, त्यास देवाचा पुत्र म्हणतील.
And the angel answered and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for which reason, also, that which is begotten, being holy, shall be called the Son of God.
36 ३६ बघ, तुझी नातेवाईक अलीशिबा ही सुद्धा म्हातारपणात गरोदर असून तिला पुत्रगर्भ राहीला आहे आणि जिला वांझ म्हणले जाई तिला आता सहावा महिना आहे.
And behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman, even she has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren;
for nothing shall be impossible with God.
38 ३८ मरीया म्हणाली, खरोखर “मी प्रभूची दासी आहे, आपल्या म्हणण्याप्रमाणे मला होवो.” मग देवदूत तिच्यापासून निघून गेला.
And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.
And Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the mountainous country, into a city of Judah;
and she came into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
41 ४१ जसे मरीयेचे अभिवादन अलीशिबेने ऐकले तिच्या उदरातील बाळाने उडी मारली आणि अलीशिबा पवित्र आत्म्याने भरली.
And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe in her womb leaped for joy.
42 ४२ ती उंच स्वर काढून मोठ्याने म्हणाली, “स्त्रियांमध्ये तू धन्यवादित आहेस आणि तुझ्या पोटचे फळ धन्य आहे.
And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke with a loud voice, and said: Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 ४४ जेव्हा तुझ्या अभिवादनाची वाणी माझ्या कानी पडली, तेव्हा माझ्या उदरातील बाळाने आनंदाने उडी मारली
For, behold, when the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.
And blessed is she who believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which were spoken to her from the Lord.
And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior;
for he has looked upon the lowly condition of his handmaid. For, behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed;
for He that is Mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name:
and his mercy is from generation to generation upon those who fear him.
51 ५१ त्याने त्याच्या हाताने सामर्थ्याची कार्ये केली आहेत; जे गर्विष्ठ अंतःकरणाचे आहेत त्यांची त्याने पांगापांग केली आहे.
He has done mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in the understanding of their hearts.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly.
53 ५३ त्याने भूकेल्यास चांगल्या पदार्थांने तृप्त केले आहे. आणि धनवानास रिकाम्या हाताने परत पाठवले आहे.
He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent empty away.
He has helped Israel his servant, (as he spoke to our fathers, )
55 ५५ आपल्या पूर्वजास त्याने सांगितल्याप्रमाणे अब्राहाम व त्याचे संतान यांच्यावरील दया सर्वकाळ स्मरण करावी. त्याने आपला सेवक इस्राएल याला साहाय्य केले आहे.” (aiōn g165)
by remembering his mercy to Abraham and to his posterity forever. (aiōn g165)
And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Now the time for Elizabeth to be delivered had fully come; and she gave birth to a son.
58 ५८ प्रभूने तिच्यावर मोठी दया केली आहे, हे तिच्या शेजाऱ्यांनी व नातेवाईकांनी ऐकले आणि ते तिच्या आनंदात सहभागी झाले.
And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had showed great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 ५९ मग असे झाले की, आठव्या दिवशी मुलाची सुंता करण्यासाठी ते आले असता, त्याच्या पित्याच्या नावाप्रमाणे ते बाळाचे नाव देखील जखऱ्या ठेवणार होते.
And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father, Zachariah.
And his mother answered and said: Not so: but he shall be called John.
And they said to her: There is no one among your relatives that is called by this name.
And they made signs to his father, to know what he wished him to be called.
63 ६३ तेव्हा त्याने लिहिण्यासाठी पाटी मागितली आणि, त्याचे नाव योहान आहे, असे लिहीले यावरुन त्या सर्वांना खूपच आश्चर्य वाटले.
And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: His name is John. And they were all astonished.
64 ६४ त्याच क्षणी त्याचे तोंड उघडले व त्याची जीभ मोकळी झाली आणि तो बोलू लागला व देवाला धन्यवाद देऊ लागला.
And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue was loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
65 ६५ तेव्हा सर्व शेजारी भयभीत झाले आणि यहूदीया प्रांताच्या सर्व डोंगराळ प्रदेशात लोक या सर्व गोष्टींबद्दल बोलू लागले.
And fear came on all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were talked of everywhere throughout the mountainous country of Judea.
66 ६६ जे कोणी हे ऐकले ते प्रत्येकजण मनात विचार करत होते, ते म्हणाले, हे मूल पुढे कोण होणार आहे? प्रभू त्याच्याबरोबर आहे असे त्यांच्या लक्षात आले.
And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, and said: What, then, will this child be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
68 ६८ “इस्राएलाचा देव प्रभू, ह्याची स्तुती असो, कारण त्याने आपल्या लोकांची भेट घेतली आणि लोकांची खंडणी भरून सुटका केली.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people;
and he has raised up for us, in the house of David his servant, a horn of salvation,
(as he spoke by the mouth of all his holy prophets of ancient times, ) (aiōn g165)
71 ७१ जे आमचे शत्रू आहेत व जे आमचा द्वेष करतात त्यांच्यापासून सुटका करण्याचे अभिवचन त्याने आम्हास दिले.
salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
in order to show the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
that he would grant to us, that being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve him without fear,
in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
76 ७६ हे बालका, तुला परात्पराचा संदेष्टा म्हणतील कारण प्रभूचे मार्ग सिद्ध करण्याकरीता तू त्यांच्यापुढे चालशील.
And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; for you shall go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways,
by giving to his people the knowledge of salvation in the remission of their sins,
78 ७८ देवाच्या दयेमुळे स्वर्गीय दिवसाची पहाट उजाडेल व मरणाच्या दाट छायेत जे जगत आहेत त्यांच्यावर प्रकाशेल.
through the tender mercies of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited us,
79 ७९ तिच्याकडून जे अंधारात आहेत व मृत्युच्या छायेत बसले आहेत त्यांना प्रकाश देण्यासाठी आणि आमचे पाय शांतीच्या मार्गास लावण्यासाठी दिवसाचा उदय करून आमची भेट घेईल.”
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, by guiding our feet in the way of peace.
80 ८० मग तो मुलगा वाढत गेला आणि आत्म्यात सामर्थ्यशाली झाला. इस्राएल लोकांस प्रकट होण्याच्या दिवसापर्यंत तो अरण्यात राहिला.
And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
