लूक 1
1 १ ज्या गोष्टींची आम्हास पक्की खातरी आहे त्या गोष्टी जे प्रारंभापासून प्रत्यक्ष पाहाणारे व शब्दाचे सेवक होते,
Seeing that many have attempted to draw up a narrative of the facts which are received with full assurance among us
2 २ त्यांनी त्या जशा आम्हास सोपवून दिल्या त्या तशाच सांगाव्या म्हणून त्यांविषयीचा वृत्तांत अनुक्रमाने लिहून काढण्याचे काम पुष्कळांनी हाती घेतले आहे.
on the authority of those who were from the beginning eye-witnesses and were devoted to the service of the divine Message,
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 has seemed right to me also, after careful investigation of the facts from their commencement, to write for you, most noble Theophilus, a connected account,
that you may fully know the truth of the things which you have been taught by word of mouth.
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 time of Herod, the king of Judaea, a priest of the name of Zechariah, belonging to the class of Abijah. He had a wife who was a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
They were both of them upright before God, blamelessly obeying all the Lord's precepts and ordinances.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren; and both of them were far advanced in life.
Now while he was doing priestly duty before God in the prescribed course of his class,
9 ९ याजकांच्या रीतीप्रमाणे परमेश्वराच्या भवनात धूप जाळण्यासाठी चिठ्ठ्या टाकून त्याची निवड करण्यात आली.
it fell to his lot--according to the custom of the priesthood--to go into the Sanctuary of the Lord and burn the incense;
and the whole multitude of the people were outside praying, at the hour of incense.
Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense;
and Zechariah on seeing him was agitated and terrified.
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, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your petition has been heard: and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call his name John.
Gladness and exultant joy shall be yours, and many will rejoice over 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 will be great in the sight of the Lord; no wine or fermented drink shall he ever drink; but he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his birth.
Many of the descendants of Israel will 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 will be His forerunner in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn fathers' hearts to the children, and cause the rebellious to walk in the wisdom of the upright, to make a people perfectly ready for the lord."
18 १८ मग जखऱ्या देवदूताला म्हणाला, “हे घडणारच असे मी कशावरुन समजू? कारण मी वृद्ध मनुष्य आहे आणि माझी पत्नीसुद्धा उतारवयात आहे.”
"By what proof," asked Zechariah, "shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is far 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.
"I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God," answered the angel, "and I have been sent to talk with you and tell 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 now you will be dumb and unable to speak until the day when this has taken place; because you did not believe my words--words which will be fulfilled at their appointed time."
21 २१ तेव्हा जखऱ्याची वाट पाहणाऱ्या लोकांस तो परमेश्वराच्या भवनात इतका वेळ का राहिला याचे आश्चर्य वाटले.
Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zechariah, and were surprised that he stayed so long in the Sanctuary.
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.
When, however, he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they knew that he must have seen a vision in the Sanctuary; but he kept making signs to them and continued dumb.
When his days of service were at an end, he went to his home;
and in course of time his wife Elizabeth conceived, and kept herself secluded five months.
25 २५ लोकांमध्ये माझा होणारा अनादर दूर करण्यासाठी प्रभूने माझ्याकडे पाहिले तेव्हा त्याने माझ्यासाठी असे केले.
"Thus has the Lord dealt with me," she said, "now that He has graciously taken away my reproach among men."
26 २६ अलीशिबेच्या गरोदरपणाच्या सहाव्या महिन्यात देवाने गब्रीएल दूताला गालील प्रांतातील नासरेथ नावाच्या गावी,
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
27 २७ एका कुमारीकडे पाठवले. तिची दाविदाच्या घराण्यातील योसेफ नावाच्या मनुष्याशी मागणी झाली होती आणि त्या कुमारीचे नाव मरीया होते.
to a maiden betrothed to a man of the name of Joseph, a descendant of David. The maiden's name was Mary.
So Gabriel went into the house and said to her, "Joy be to you, favoured one! the Lord is with you."
29 २९ परंतु ती त्याच्या शब्दाने अस्वस्थ झाली आणि या अभिवादनाचा अर्थ काय असावा याचे ती नवल करू लागली.
She was greatly agitated at his words, and wondered what such a greeting meant.
But the angel said, "Do not be frightened, Mary, for you have found favour with God.
You will conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you are to 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 will be great and He will be called 'Son of the Most High.' And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His forefather David;
33 ३३ तो याकोबाच्या घराण्यावर सर्वकाळासाठी राज्य चालवील आणि त्याच्या राज्याचा अंत होणार नाही.” (aiōn g165)
and He will be King over the House of Jacob for the Ages, and of His Kingdom there will be no end." (aiōn g165)
"How can this be," Mary replied, "seeing that I have no husband?"
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.
The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for this reason your holy offspring will 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 see, your relative Elizabeth--she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfilment."
38 ३८ मरीया म्हणाली, खरोखर “मी प्रभूची दासी आहे, आपल्या म्हणण्याप्रमाणे मला होवो.” मग देवदूत तिच्यापासून निघून गेला.
"I am the Lord's maidservant," Mary replied; "may it be with me in accordance with your words!" And then the angel left her.
Not long after this, Mary rose up and went in haste into the hill country to a town in Judah.
Here she came to the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth;
41 ४१ जसे मरीयेचे अभिवादन अलीशिबेने ऐकले तिच्या उदरातील बाळाने उडी मारली आणि अलीशिबा पवित्र आत्म्याने भरली.
and as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leapt within her. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 ४२ ती उंच स्वर काढून मोठ्याने म्हणाली, “स्त्रियांमध्ये तू धन्यवादित आहेस आणि तुझ्या पोटचे फळ धन्य आहे.
and uttered a loud cry of joy. "Blest among women are you," she said, "and the offspring of your body is blest!
But why is this honour done 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, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the babe within me leapt for joy.
And blessed is she who has believed, for the word spoken to her from the Lord shall be fulfilled."
Then Mary said: "My soul extols the Lord,
And my spirit triumphs in God my Saviour;
Because He has not turned from His maidservant in her lowly position; For from this time forward all generations will account me happy,
Because the mighty One has done great things for me--Holy is His name!--
And His compassion is, generation after 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 manifested His supreme strength. He has scattered those who were haughty in the thoughts of their hearts.
He has cast monarchs down from their thrones, And exalted men of low estate.
53 ५३ त्याने भूकेल्यास चांगल्या पदार्थांने तृप्त केले आहे. आणि धनवानास रिकाम्या हाताने परत पाठवले आहे.
The hungry He has satisfied with choice gifts, But the rich He has sent empty-handed away.
His servant Israel He has helped, Remembering His compassion--
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)
In fulfillment of His promises to our forefathers--For Abraham and his posterity for ever." (aiōn g165)
So Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned home.
Now when Elizabeth's full time was come, 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 neighbours and relatives heard how the Lord had had great compassion on 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 on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and were going to call him Zechariah, after his father.
His mother, however, said, "No, he is to be called John."
"There is not one of your family," they said, "who has that name."
They asked his father by signs 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.
So he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all wondered.
64 ६४ त्याच क्षणी त्याचे तोंड उघडले व त्याची जीभ मोकळी झाली आणि तो बोलू लागला व देवाला धन्यवाद देऊ लागला.
Instantly his mouth and his tongue were set free, and he began to speak and bless God.
65 ६५ तेव्हा सर्व शेजारी भयभीत झाले आणि यहूदीया प्रांताच्या सर्व डोंगराळ प्रदेशात लोक या सर्व गोष्टींबद्दल बोलू लागले.
And all who lived round about them were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judaea reports of all these things were spread abroad.
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.
All who heard the story treasured it in their memories. "What then will this child be?" they said. For the lord's hand was indeed with him.
And Zechariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke in a rapture of praise.
68 ६८ “इस्राएलाचा देव प्रभू, ह्याची स्तुती असो, कारण त्याने आपल्या लोकांची भेट घेतली आणि लोकांची खंडणी भरून सुटका केली.
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel," he said, "Because He has not forgotten His people but has effected redemption for them,
And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of David His servant--
As He has spoken from all time by the lips of His holy Prophets-- (aiōn g165)
71 ७१ जे आमचे शत्रू आहेत व जे आमचा द्वेष करतात त्यांच्यापासून सुटका करण्याचे अभिवचन त्याने आम्हास दिले.
To deliver us from our foes and from the power of all who hate us.
He dealt pitifully with our forefathers, And remembered His holy covenant,
The oath which He swore to Abraham our forefather,
To grant us to be rescued from the power of our foes And so render worship to Him free from fear,
In piety and uprightness before Him all our days.
76 ७६ हे बालका, तुला परात्पराचा संदेष्टा म्हणतील कारण प्रभूचे मार्ग सिद्ध करण्याकरीता तू त्यांच्यापुढे चालशील.
And you moreover, O child, shall be called Prophet of the Most High; For you shall go on in front before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,
To give to His People a knowledge of salvation In the forgiveness of their sins,
78 ७८ देवाच्या दयेमुळे स्वर्गीय दिवसाची पहाट उजाडेल व मरणाच्या दाट छायेत जे जगत आहेत त्यांच्यावर प्रकाशेल.
Through the tender compassion of our God, Through which the daybreak from on high will come to 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.”
Dawning on those who now dwell in the darkness and shadow of death--To direct our feet into the path 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 character, and lived in the Desert till the time came for him to appear publicly to Israel.
