लूक 1
1 १ ज्या गोष्टींची आम्हास पक्की खातरी आहे त्या गोष्टी जे प्रारंभापासून प्रत्यक्ष पाहाणारे व शब्दाचे सेवक होते,
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely 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 delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; (logos)
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 had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto you in order, most excellent Theophilus,
That you might know the certainty of those things, (logos) wherein 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 Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
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 the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, 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 unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elisabeth 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 in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) even from his mother's womb.
And many of the children 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 (pneuma) and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared 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.”
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken 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 answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto you, and to show you these glad tidings.
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, until the day that these things shall be performed, because you believe not my words, (logos) which shall be fulfilled in their season.
21 २१ तेव्हा जखऱ्याची वाट पाहणाऱ्या लोकांस तो परमेश्वराच्या भवनात इतका वेळ का राहिला याचे आश्चर्य वाटले.
And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried 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.
And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself 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 wherein he looked on 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 unto 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 espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, you that are highly favoured, 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 when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, (logos) and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for you have found favour with God.
And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and 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 Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
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 for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing 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 unto her, The Holy Spirit (pneuma) shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you 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, your cousin Elisabeth, she has also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
For with God nothing (rhema) shall be impossible.
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; be it unto me according to your word. (rhema) And the angel departed from her.
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 ४१ जसे मरीयेचे अभिवादन अलीशिबेने ऐकले तिच्या उदरातील बाळाने उडी मारली आणि अलीशिबा पवित्र आत्म्याने भरली.
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: (pneuma)
42 ४२ ती उंच स्वर काढून मोठ्याने म्हणाली, “स्त्रियांमध्ये तू धन्यवादित आहेस आणि तुझ्या पोटचे फळ धन्य आहे.
And she spoke out 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, lo, as soon as the voice of your salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
And Mary said, My soul does magnify the Lord,
And my spirit (pneuma) has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty has done to me great things; and holy is his name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51 ५१ त्याने त्याच्या हाताने सामर्थ्याची कार्ये केली आहेत; जे गर्विष्ठ अंतःकरणाचे आहेत त्यांची त्याने पांगापांग केली आहे.
He has showed strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53 ५३ त्याने भूकेल्यास चांगल्या पदार्थांने तृप्त केले आहे. आणि धनवानास रिकाम्या हाताने परत पाठवले आहे.
He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.
He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
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)
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 own house.
Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth 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 her cousins heard how the Lord had showed great mercy upon 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, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
And they said unto her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name.
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63 ६३ तेव्हा त्याने लिहिण्यासाठी पाटी मागितली आणि, त्याचे नाव योहान आहे, असे लिहीले यावरुन त्या सर्वांना खूपच आश्चर्य वाटले.
And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
64 ६४ त्याच क्षणी त्याचे तोंड उघडले व त्याची जीभ मोकळी झाली आणि तो बोलू लागला व देवाला धन्यवाद देऊ लागला.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue 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 sayings (rhema) were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
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 they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) 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 has raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: (aiōn g165)
71 ७१ जे आमचे शत्रू आहेत व जे आमचा द्वेष करतात त्यांच्यापासून सुटका करण्याचे अभिवचन त्याने आम्हास दिले.
That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,
That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
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 Highest: for you shall go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by 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 mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring 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 them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into 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 waxed strong in spirit, (pneuma) and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.
