लुका 1
1 धेरैले हाम्रा बिचमा घटेका र पुरा भएका यी घटनाहरूको विवरण लेख्ने प्रयास गरेका छन् ।
Many have taken on the work of putting together an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
2 तिनीहरूले यी कुरा हामीलाई भर्खरै सुम्पिदिए, जो सुरुदेखि नै प्रत्यक्षदर्शी र वचनका सेवकहरू भएका छन् ।
just as they were passed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
3 सम्मानित थियोफिलस, त्यसैले मलाई पनि यी सबै कुराहरूलाई अनुसन्धान गरी ठिकसित क्रमबद्ध रूपमा सुरुदेखि घटेका घटनाहरूलाई लेख्न असल लाग्यो ।
So it seemed good to me also, because I have accurately investigated everything from the beginning, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4 त्यसैले, तपाईंलाई सिकाइएको सत्यताबारे यी कुराहरू तपाईंलाई थाहा होस् ।
so that you might know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
5 यहूदाका राजा हेरोदको समयमा, त्यहाँ जकरिया नाउँ गरेका एक जना पुजारी थिए जो अबियाको कुलका थिए । उनकी पत्नी हारुन कुलकी छोरी थिइन् जसको नाउँ एलीशिबा थियो ।
In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zechariah, from the division of Abijah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा तिनीहरू दुवै धर्मी थिए । तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरका सबै आज्ञाहरू पालना गर्दथे र निर्दोष जीवन जिउँथे ।
They were both righteous before God, obeying all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 तर तिनीहरूको कुनै सन्तान थिएन, किनकि एलीशिबा बाँझी थिइन् र तिनीहरू दुवै जना वृद्ध भइसकेका थिए ।
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both very old by this time.
8 एक दिन आफ्नो कुलको पालोअनुसार जकरिया पुजारी सेवा गर्न परमेश्वरको उपस्थितिमा थिए ।
Now it came about that Zechariah was in God's presence, carrying out the priestly duties in the order of his division.
9 त्यहाँको परम्पराअनुसार चिट्ठाद्वारा पुजारीहरू आफ्नो सेवा गर्ने पालोअनुसार परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र धूप बाल्नलाई छानिन्थे । त्यसैले, उनको नाउँ पर्यो ।
According to the customary way of choosing which priest would serve, he had been chosen by lot to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
10 जब तिनी धूप बाल्दै थिए, बाहिर त्यही समयमा मानिसको पुरै भिडले प्रार्थना गरिरहेको थियो ।
The whole crowd of people was praying outside at the hour when the incense was burned.
11 ठिक त्यसै बेला परमप्रभुका एउटा दूत उनीकहाँ देखा परे र धूप बाल्ने वेदीको दाहिनेपट्टि उभिए ।
Now an angel of the Lord appeared to him and stood at the right side of the incense altar.
12 जब जकरियाले स्वर्गदूतलाई देखे, तब उनी साह्रै डराए र आत्तिए ।
When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified and fear fell on him.
13 तर स्वर्गदूतले उनलाई भने, “जकरिया नडराऊ, किनकि तिम्रो प्रार्थनाको सुनाइ भएको छ । तिम्री पत्नी एलीशिबाले तिम्रो लागि एउटा छोरा जन्माउनेछिन् र तिमीले उनको नाउँ यूहन्ना राख्नेछौ ।
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You will call his name John.
14 तिमीमा खुसी र आनन्द हुनेछ र उनको जन्ममा धेरै मानिसहरू आनिन्दित हुनेछन् ।
You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
15 परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा उनी महान् हुनेछन् र उनले दाखमद्य पिउनेछैनन् । उनी आमाको गर्भमा नै पवित्र आत्माले भरिनेछन् ।
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb.
16 अनि उनले इस्राएलका धेरै मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्वरतर्फ फर्काउनेछन् ।
Many of the people of Israel will be turned to the Lord their God.
17 उनी एलियाको आत्माको शक्तिमा परमप्रभुको अगि-अगि जानेछन् । उनले बुबाहरूको हृदय आफ्ना छोराछोरीतिर फर्काउनेछन् र अनाज्ञाकारीहरूलाई बुद्धि र धार्मिकतामा हिँडाउनेछन् । उनले मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभुको निम्ति तयार गर्नका लागि त्यसो गर्नेछन् ।”
He will go before the face of the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
18 जकरियाले स्वर्गदूतलाई भने, “यो कुरा पुरा हुनेछ भनी मैले कसरी थाहा पाउने?” किनकि म बुढो भइसकेँ र मेरी पत्नी पनि बुढी भइसकिन् ।”
Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this? For I am an old man and my wife is very old.”
19 तब स्वर्गदूतले जवाफ दिए र उनलाई भने, म गब्रिएल हुँ, जो परमेश्वरको उपस्थितिमा उभिन्छु । तिम्रो निम्ति बोल्न र शुभ खबर दिन मलाई पठाइएको हो ।”
The angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, to bring you this good news.
20 हेर, ती कुरा हुने समयसम्म तिमी शान्त रहनेछौ र बोल्न सक्ने छैनौ, किनकि तिमीले मेरो वचनमा विश्वास गरेनौ, जुन ठिक समयमा पुरा हुनेछ ।”
Behold! You will be silent, unable to speak, until the day these things take place. This is because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at the right time.”
21 अनि जकरियाले लामो समयसम्म मन्दिरमा समय बिताइरहेकाले मानिसहरू अचम्म मान्दै पर्खिरहेका थिए ।
Now the people were waiting for Zechariah. They were surprised that he was spending so much time in the temple.
22 तर, जब तिनी बाहिर आए, तब उनी तिनीहरूसँग बोल्न सकेनन् र उनले मन्दिरभित्र एउटा दर्शन देखे भनी तिनीहरूले महसुस गरे । उनले तिनीहरूलाई इसारा मात्र गरे, तर बोल्न सकेनन् ।
But when he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized that he had seen a vision while he was in the temple. He kept on making signs to them and remained silent.
23 जब तिनको सेवाको समय समाप्त भयो, तब तिनी आफ्नो घरमा फर्किए ।
It came about that when the days of his service were over, he went to his house.
24 ती दिनहरूपछि, तिनकी पत्नी एलीशिबा गर्भवती भइन् । पाँच महिनासम्म उनले यसो भन्दै आफूलाई लुकाइन् ।
After these days, his wife Elizabeth conceived and for five months she kept herself hidden. She said,
25 “परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले मेरो लागि यो गर्नुभएको छ, उहाँले ममाथि निगाह गर्नुभयो र मानिसहरूका बिचबाट मेरो निन्दा हटाउनुभयो ।
“This is what the Lord has done for me when he looked at me with favor in order to take away my shame before people.”
26 एलीशिबा गर्भवती भएको छैठौँ महिनामा, परमेश्वरले गालीलको सहर नासरतमा गब्रिएल स्वर्गदूतलाई पठाउनुभयो ।
In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth,
27 परमेश्वरले तिनलाई एउटा कन्याकहाँ पठाउनुभयो जसको योसेफ भन्ने मानिससँग मगनी भएको थियो । तिनी दाऊदका वंशका थिए र कन्याको नाउँ मरियम थियो ।
to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph. He belonged to the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 उनी तिनीकहाँ आए र भने, “तिमीलाई अभिवादन! तिमीले परमेश्वरबाट धेरै निगाह पाएकी छ्यौ ।”
He came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 तर उनको वचन सुनेर तिनले यो कस्तो प्रकारको अभिवादन हो भनी तिनी विचलित भइन् र चकित परिन् ।
But she was very confused by his words and she wondered what kind of greeting this could be.
30 तब स्वर्गदूतले उनलाई भने, “मरियम, तिमी नडराऊ । किनकि तिमीले परमेश्वरबाट निगाह प्राप्त गरेकी छ्यौ ।
The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 हेर, तिमी गर्भवती हुनेछ्यौ र एउटा छोरा जन्माउनेछ्यौ । तिमीले उहाँको नाउँ येशू राख्नेछ्यौ ।
See, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son. You will call his name 'Jesus.'
32 उहाँ महान हुनुहुनेछ र उहाँ सर्बोच्च परमेश्वरको पुत्र भनेर चिनिनु हुनेछ । परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई उहाँको पिता दाऊदको सिंहासन दिनुहुनेछ ।
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
33 उहाँ महान् हुनुहुनेछ र उहाँ सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका पुत्र कहलाइनुहुनेछ । परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई उहाँका पुर्खा दाऊदको सिंहासन दिनुहुनेछ । (aiōn g165)
He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom.” (aiōn g165)
34 तब मरियमले स्वर्गदूतलाई भनिन्, “यो कसरी हुन सक्छ जब कि अहिलेसम्म म कुनै मानिससँग सुतेकै छैन?”
Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen, since I have not slept with any man?”
35 अनि स्वर्गदूतले जवाफ दिए, र उनलाई भने, “पवित्र आत्मा तिमीमाथि आउनुहुनेछ र सर्वोच्चका परमेश्वरको शक्तिले तिमीलाई ढाक्नेछ । त्यसैले, जो पवित्र जन्मनुहुनेछ उहाँलाई परमेश्वरका पुत्र भनेर बोलाइनेछ ।
The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will come over you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 अनि हेर, तिम्री नातेदार एलीशिबाले पनि उनको वृद्धावस्थामा एउटा छोरा जन्माउन गर्भवती भएकी छन् । उनलाई बाँझी भनिए तापनि उनी अहिले ६ महिनाको गर्भवती अवस्थामा छिन् ।
See, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age. This is the sixth month for her, she who was called barren.
37 परमेश्वरको लागि कुनै पनि कुरा असम्भव हुनेछैन ।”
For nothing will be impossible for God.”
38 मरियमले भनिन्, “हेर, म परमप्रभुकी दासी एक स्त्री हुँ । तपाईंको सन्देशअनुसार नै मेरो निम्ति होस् ।” त्यसपछि स्वर्गदूत उनीबाट बिदा भए ।
Mary said, “See, I am the female servant of the Lord. Let it be for me according to your message.” Then the angel left her.
39 त्यसपछि मरियम ती दिनहरूमा हतारिँदै यहूदाको पहाडी देशको एउटा सहरमा गइन् ।
Then Mary arose in those days and quickly went into the hill country, to a city in Judea.
40 जहाँ उनी जकरियाको घरमा गइन् र एलीशिबालाई अभिवादन गरिन् ।
She went into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
41 जब एलीशिबाले मरियमको अभिवादन सुनिन्, उनको गर्भमा भएको बालक उफ्रियो र एलीशिबा पवित्र आत्माले भरिइन् ।
Now it happened that when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby in her womb jumped, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 तिनले ठुलो आवाजले उनलाई यसो भनिन्, “स्त्रीहरूमा तिमी धन्यकी हौ र तिम्रो गर्भको फल धन्यको होस् ।”
She raised her voice and said loudly, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 तब यो कसरी हुन कि सक्छ मेरा प्रभुकी आमा मकहाँ आउनुभयो?
Why has it happened to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 तब हेर, जब तिम्रो अभिवादनको आवाज मेरो कानमा आयो, मेरो गर्भमा भएको बालक आनन्दले उफ्रियो ।
For see, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.
45 अनी जसले विश्वास गरेकी छिन्, धन्यकी हुन् किनकि जुन कुराहरू उनलाई परमप्रभुबाट भनिएको थियो ती पुरा हुनेछन् ।”
Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of the things that were told her from the Lord.”
46 मरियमले भनिन्, “मेरो प्राण परमभुमा आनन्दित छ ।
Mary said, “My soul praises the Lord,
47 र मेरो आत्मा परमप्रभु मेरो उद्धारकमा आनन्दित हुँदछ ।
and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior.
48 किनकि उहाँले आफ्नी दासी स्त्रीको नीच अवस्थामा ध्यान दिनुभएको छ । अब हेर, अहिलेबाट सबै पुस्ताहरूले मलाई धन्यकी भन्नेछन् ।
For he has looked at the low condition of his female servant. For see, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
49 किनकि सर्वशक्तिमान्ले मेरो लागि महान् कार्य गर्नुभएको छ, र उहाँको नाउँ पवित्र छ ।
For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and his name is holy.
50 जसले उहाँलाई आदर गर्छ, एउटा पुस्तादेखि एर्को पुस्तसम्म उहाँको दया रहिरहन्छ ।
His mercy lasts from generation to generation for those who fear him.
51 उहाँका बाहुलीले शक्तिशाली कामहरू गरेका छन् । आफ्नो हृदयमा घमण्ड विचार भएकाहरूलाई उहाँले तितर-बितर पार्नुभएको छ ।
He has displayed strength with his arm; he has scattered those who were proud about the thoughts of their hearts.
52 उहाँले राजकुमारहरूलाई तिनीहरूका सिंहासनबाट खसाल्नुभएको छ । अनि तल्लो अवस्थाकाहरूलाई उठाउनुभएको छ ।
He has thrown down princes from their thrones and he has raised up those of low condition.
53 उहाँले भोकाहरूलाई असल थोकहरूले भरिदिनुहुन्छ, तर धनीहरूलाई रित्तै हात पठाउनुहुन्छ ।
He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent away empty.
54 त्यसकारण, आफ्नो दयालाई सम्झना गरेर, उहाँले आफ्नो दास इस्राएललाई सहायता दिनुभएको छ ।
He has given help to Israel his servant, so as to remember to show mercy
55 जसरी उहाँले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूलाई भनेजस्तै, अब्राहाम र उनका वंशसँग सदासर्वदा गर्नुहुनेछ ।” (aiōn g165)
(as he said to our fathers) to Abraham and his descendants forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 मरियम झन्डै तिन महिना एलीशिबासँग बसिन् र अनि आफ्नो घरमा फर्किन् ।
Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her house.
57 अब एलीशिबाको बालक जन्माउने बेला आयो, र तिनले एउटा छोरा जन्माइन् ।
Now the time had come for Elizabeth to deliver her baby and she gave birth to a son.
58 जब तिनका छिमेकी र नातेदारहरूले परमप्रभुले तिनीमाथि महान् दया गर्नुभएको कुरा सुने, तब उनीहरू तिनीसँग आनन्दित भए ।
Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 अब बालक जन्मेको आठौँ दिनमा तिनीहरू बालकको खतना गर्न गए र तिनीहरूले उनलाई आफ्ना पिताको नाउँबाट नै जकरिया भनेर बोलाउन सक्थे ।
Now it happened on the eighth day that they came to circumcise the child. They would have called him “Zechariah,” after the name of his father.
60 तर उनकी आमाले जवाफ दिएर भनिन्, “होइन, उनलाई यूहन्ना भनेर बोलाइनेछ ।”
But his mother answered and said, “No. He will be called John.”
61 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तिम्रा नातेदारहरूका बिचमा यो नाउँ भएको त्यहाँ कोही पनि छैन ।”
They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
62 तिनीहरूले उनको बुबासँग इसारा गरेर बालकको नाउँ के राख्न चाहेका छन् भनेर तिनलाई सोधे ।
They made signs to his father as to how he wanted him to be named.
63 उनले लेख्नका लागि पाटी मागे, र त्यसमा “तिनको नाउँ यूहन्ना हो” भनेर लेखे । त्यो देखेर तिनीहरू सबै अचम्मित भए ।
His father asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” They all were astonished at this.
64 तुरुन्तै उनको मुख खुल्यो र जिब्रोको बन्धन टुट्यो, अनि तिनले बोल्न सुरु गरे र परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे ।
Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was freed. He spoke and praised God.
65 तिनीहरूका वरिपरि बस्नेहरूको बिचमा भय उत्पन्न भयो र त्यहाँ भएका कुराहरू यहूदाको पहाडी मुलुकभरि नै फैलियो ।
Fear came on all who lived around them. All these matters were spread throughout all the hill country of Judea.
66 त्यसपछि यी कुरा सुन्ने सबैले आफ्नो हृदयमा राख्दै भने, “त्यसो भए, अब यो बालक कस्तो हुनेछ?” किनकि परमप्रभुको हात त्यस बालकसँग थियो ।
All who heard them stored them in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 उनका पिता जकरिया पवित्र आत्माले भरिए र यसो भन्दै अगमवाणी गरे,
His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
68 “इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा होस्, किनभने उहाँले आफ्ना मानिसहरूका लागि सहायता र उद्धारको काम गर्नुभएको छ ।
“Praised be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to help and he has accomplished redemption for his people.
69 उहाँले हाम्रा निम्ति मुक्तिको सिङ्लाई उहाँका दास दाऊदको घरानाबाट शक्तिशाली रूपमा खडा गर्नुभएको छ ।
He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
(as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from long ago), (aiōn g165)
71 उहाँले हाम्रा शत्रुहरू र हामीलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूबाट छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ ।
salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us.
72 यो उहाँले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूप्रति दया प्रकट गर्न र उहाँको पवित्र करारलाई स्मरण गर्नलाई गर्नुभएको छ ।
He will do this to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
73 त्यो करारचाहिँ उहाँले हाम्रा पुर्खा अब्राहामसँग गर्नुभएको शपथ हो ।
the oath that he spoke to Abraham our father.
74 उहाँले हामीलाई हाम्रा शत्रुहरूका हातबाट मुक्त गर्न र उहाँको सम्मुख हाम्रो सारा जीवनभर
He swore to grant to us that we, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies, would serve him without fear,
75 पवित्रता र धार्मिकतामा उहाँको सेवा गर्नलाई योग्यको बनाउने शपथ खानुभयो ।
in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
76 हो, बालक तिमी, सर्वोच्चका अगमवक्ता कहलाइनेछौ, किनभने तिमी मानिसहरूका निम्ति मार्ग तयार पार्न प्रभुको अगि-अगि जानेछन् ।
Yes, and you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his paths, to prepare people for his coming,
77 तिनीहरूका पाप-क्षमाद्वारा उहाँले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई मुक्तिको ज्ञान दिनुभएको छ ।
to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins.
78 हाम्रा परमेश्वरले उहाँको कोमल कृपाको कारणले हामीलाई क्षमा गर्नुहुनेछ । यही कृपाद्वारा उहाँ हामीकहाँ बिहानको सूर्यझैँ आउनुहुनेछ ।
This will happen because of the tender mercy of our God, because of which the sunrise from on high will come to help us,
79 मृत्युको अन्धकारको छायाँमा बस्ने मानिसहरूमाथि उहाँ चम्कनुहुनेछ । उहाँले हाम्रा गोडाहरूलाई शान्तिको मार्गतिर डोर्याउनुहुन्छ ।”
to shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. He will do this to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
80 त्यसपछि बालक हुर्के र आत्मामा बलियो भए, र उनी इस्राएलमा देखा नपरेसम्म उजाड-स्थानमा नै बसे ।
Now the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
