लूक 1
1 १ ज्या गोष्टींची आम्हास पक्की खातरी आहे त्या गोष्टी जे प्रारंभापासून प्रत्यक्ष पाहाणारे व शब्दाचे सेवक होते,
Seeing that many took in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us,
2 २ त्यांनी त्या जशा आम्हास सोपवून दिल्या त्या तशाच सांगाव्या म्हणून त्यांविषयीचा वृत्तांत अनुक्रमाने लिहून काढण्याचे काम पुष्कळांनी हाती घेतले आहे.
as they delivered to us, who from the beginning became eyewitnesses, and officers 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 also to me, having followed from the first after all things exactly, to write to you in order, most noble Theophilus,
that you may know the certainty of the things wherein you were 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, by name Zacharias, of the division of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth;
and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the LORD blameless,
and they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.
And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his division before God,
9 ९ याजकांच्या रीतीप्रमाणे परमेश्वराच्या भवनात धूप जाळण्यासाठी चिठ्ठ्या टाकून त्याची निवड करण्यात आली.
according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make incense, having gone into the temple of the LORD,
and all the multitude of the people were praying outside, at the hour of the incense.
And there appeared to him a messenger of the LORD standing on the right side of the altar of the incense,
and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on 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.
and the messenger said to him, “Do not fear, Zacharias, for your supplication was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son to you, and you will call his name John,
and there will be joy to you, and gladness, and many will 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 will be great before the LORD, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and he will be full of the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb;
and he will turn many of the sons of Israel 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 go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the LORD, a people prepared.”
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 to the messenger, “Whereby will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?”
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 messenger answering said to him, “I am Gabriel, who has been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak to you, and to proclaim this good news to you,
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 will be silent, and not able to speak, until the day that these things will come to pass, because you did not believe my words that will 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 were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his lingering 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 having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, and he was beckoning to them, and remained mute.
And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house,
and after those days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 २५ लोकांमध्ये माझा होणारा अनादर दूर करण्यासाठी प्रभूने माझ्याकडे पाहिले तेव्हा त्याने माझ्यासाठी असे केले.
“Thus the LORD has done to me, in days in which 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 messenger Gabriel was sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] 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 [is] Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin [is] Mary.
And the messenger having come in to her, said, “Greetings, favored one, 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, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was reasoning of what kind this salutation may be.
And the messenger said to her, “Do not fear, Mary, for you have found favor with God;
and behold, you will conceive in the womb, and will bring forth a Son, and 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 Highest, and the LORD God will give 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 will reign over the house of Jacob for all ages; and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
And Mary said to the messenger, “How will this be, seeing I do not know a 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.
And the messenger answering said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you, therefore also the holy-begotten thing will be called 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 relative, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren;
because nothing will 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 maidservant of the LORD; let it be to me according to your saying,” and the messenger went away from her.
And Mary having arisen in those days, went into the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea,
and entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted 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, the baby leapt in her womb; 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 spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed [are] you among women, and blessed [is] the Fruit of your womb;
and from where [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord might 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 came to my ears, the baby in my womb leapt in gladness;
and blessed [is] she who believed, for there will be a completion to the things spoken to her from the LORD.”
And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the LORD,
And my spirit was glad on God my Savior,
Because He looked on the lowliness of His maidservant, For behold, from now on all the generations will call me blessed,
For He who is mighty did great things to me, And holy [is] His Name,
And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him;
51 ५१ त्याने त्याच्या हाताने सामर्थ्याची कार्ये केली आहेत; जे गर्विष्ठ अंतःकरणाचे आहेत त्यांची त्याने पांगापांग केली आहे.
He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,
He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,
53 ५३ त्याने भूकेल्यास चांगल्या पदार्थांने तृप्त केले आहे. आणि धनवानास रिकाम्या हाताने परत पाठवले आहे.
He filled the hungry with good, And the rich He sent away empty;
He has taken hold of His servant Israel, To remember kindness,
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—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned back to her house.
And to Elizabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bore a son,
58 ५८ प्रभूने तिच्यावर मोठी दया केली आहे, हे तिच्या शेजाऱ्यांनी व नातेवाईकांनी ऐकले आणि ते तिच्या आनंदात सहभागी झाले.
and the neighbors and her relatives heard that the LORD was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing 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, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,
and his mother answering said, “No, but he will be called John.”
And they said to her, “There is none among your relatives who is called by this name,”
and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish 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 tablet, he wrote, saying, “John is his name”; 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.
and his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising 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 those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,
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 who heard laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?” And the hand of the LORD was with him.
And his father Zacharias 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 [is] the LORD, the God of Israel, Because He looked on, And worked redemption for His people,
And raised a horn of salvation to us, In the house of His servant David,
As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, Which have been from the age; (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 out of the hand of all hating us,
To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His holy covenant,
An oath that He swore to Abraham our father,
To give to us, without fear, Having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
To serve Him, 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, Prophet of the Highest will you be called; For you will go before the face of the LORD, To prepare His ways.
To give knowledge of salvation to His people In forgiveness of their sins,
78 ७८ देवाच्या दयेमुळे स्वर्गीय दिवसाची पहाट उजाडेल व मरणाच्या दाट छायेत जे जगत आहेत त्यांच्यावर प्रकाशेल.
Through the yearnings of our God, In which the rising from on high looked on 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 sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a 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 was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts until the day of his showing to Israel.
