लुका 2
1 ती दिनहरूमा रोमी साम्राज्यभित्र बस्ने सबै जनाको जनगणना गर्नू भनी कैसर अगस्टसले उर्दी जारी गरे ।
And it came to pass in those days, that there went forth a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the inhabitants of the land should be enrolled.
2 कुरेनियस सिरियाका हाकिम हुँदाको यो पहिलो जनगणना थियो ।
This enrollment first took place when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.
3 त्यसैले, सबै जना आ-आफ्ना गाउँमा जनगणनाका लागि नाउँ दर्ता गर्न गए ।
And all went to be enrolled, each one to his own city.
4 योसेफ पनि गालीलको नासरतबाट यहूदियाको बेथलेहेममा गए, जुन ठाउँ दाऊदको सहरको नामले चिनिन्थ्यो, किनभने उनी दाऊदको वंशका थिए ।
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (for he was of the house and family of David, ).
5 उनी मरियमसँगै दर्ता गर्न त्यहाँ गएका थिए, जससँग उनको मगनी भएको थियो र तिनले एउटा बालकको आशा गरेका थिए ।
to be enrolled with Mary his betrothed wife, who was with child.
6 तिनीहरू त्यहीँ छँदा मरियमको बालक जन्माउने समय आयो ।
And it came to pass while they were there, that the days for her to be delivered were completed;
7 उनले आफ्नो पहिलो छोरा जन्माइन्, र कपडाले बेह्रिन् अनि जनावरहरूले खाने ठाउँमा राखिन् । किनभने तिनीहरूका निम्ति धर्मशालामा कुनै ठाउँ थिएन ।
and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swathing-clothes, and laid him in the stable, because there was no place for them in the inn.
8 त्यस इलाकाको चौरमा राती आ-आफ्ना भेडाका रखवाली गर्दै गोठालाहरू बसिरहेका थिए ।
And there were in the same country shepherds, living in the open field, and guarding their flock by night.
9 एक्कासि, तिनीहरूकहाँ परमप्रभुका एउटा दूत देखा परे, र तिनीहरूका वरिपरि परमप्रभुको महिमा चम्किरहेको थियो, र तिनीहरू साह्रै भयभीत भए ।
And, behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were greatly afraid.
10 तब स्वर्गदूतले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “नडराऊ, किनभने आज म तिमीहरूलाई बडो आनन्दको सुसमाचार घोषणा गर्छु, जसले सबै मानिसहरूलाई ठुलो आनन्द दिनेछ ।
And the angel said to them: Be not afraid; for, behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which shall be for all people.
11 आज तिमीहरूका निम्ति दाऊदको सहरमा एउटा मुक्तिदाताको जन्म भएको छ । उहाँ ख्रीष्ट प्रभु हुनुहुन्छ ।
For there is born for you this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 तिमीहरूलाई चिह्नचाहिँ यो दिइएको छ, कि तिमीहरूले बालकलाई कपडाले बेह्रेरेर जनावरहरूलाई खुवाउने डुँडमा सुताइरहेको भेट्टाउनेछौ ।”
And this shall be to you the sign: you will find the babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, and lying in a stable.
13 एक्कासि ती स्वर्गदूतसँग स्वर्गीय सेनाको एउटा ठुलो दल देखा पर्यो र तिनीहरूले यसो भन्दै परमेश्वरको प्रंशसा गरे ।
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying:
14 “सर्वोच्चमा परमेश्वरलाई महिमा र पृथ्वीमा जुन मानिसहरूसँग उहाँ प्रसन्न हुनुहुन्छ, तिनीहरूलाई शान्ति ।”
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men.
15 जब परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूतहरू स्वर्ग फर्के, तब गोठालाहरूले एक-अर्कालाई भने, “परमप्रभुबाट हामीलाई प्रकट गरिएको र घटेको यस घटनालाई बताउन बेथलेहेममा जाऊँ र हेरौँ ।”
And it came to pass, that, after the angels had gone away into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
16 तब तिनीहरू हतार-हतार गर्दै त्यहाँ गए, अनि योसेफ र मरियमलाई भेटे । तिनीहरूले बालकलाई दाना खुवाउने डुँडमा सुताइरहेको देखे ।
And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the stable.
17 तिनीहरूले यसलाई देखे पछि, बालकको बारेमा बताइएका सबै कुरा मानिसहरूलाई बताए ।
And after they had seen it, they made known everywhere the words that had been spoken to them of this child.
18 गोठालाहरूद्वारा भनिएका कुरा सुन्नेहरू जति सबै जना आश्चर्य चकित भए ।
And all that heard, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 तर मरियमले सुनेका सबै कुराहरूको बारेमा सोच्दै गरिन् र उनले आफ्नो मनमै राखिन् ।
But Mary kept all these things in her mind, and pondered them in her heart.
20 तिनीहरूलाई भनेअनुसार सुनेका र देखेका हरेक कुराका निम्ति परमेश्वरलाई महिमा दिँदै र प्रशंसा गर्दै फर्के ।
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen, as it had been told to them.
21 जब आठौँ दिन भयो, तब बालकको खतना गर्ने समय भयो । तिनीहरूले उहाँको नाउँ येशू राखे, जुन नाउँ स्वर्गदूतद्वारा उहाँ गर्भधारण हुनुभन्दा अगि दिइएको थियो ।
And when eight days were completed for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, as it had been called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb.
22 मोशाको व्यवस्थाअनुसार तोकिएका शुद्धिकरणका दिनहरू सकिएपछि, योसेफ र मरियमले सानो बालकलाई परमप्रभुको उपस्थितिमा यरूशलेममा ल्याए ।
And when the days for their purification were completed according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
23 परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थामा लेखिएझैँ “पहिलो जन्मेको प्रत्येक पुरुष परमप्रभुमा अर्पण गर्नुपर्थ्यो ।”
(as it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
24 तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थामा भनेअनुसार “एक जोडी ढुकुर र दुईवटा परेवा बलिदान चढाउन लिएर आए ।”
and to offer a sacrifice, according to that which is commanded in the law of the Lord: A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25 हेर, यरूशलेममा एक जना सिमियोन नाउँ गरेका व्यक्ति थिए । उनी धर्मी र ईश्वरभक्त मानिस थिए । उनले इस्राएलका सान्त्वना दाताको प्रतीक्षा गरिराखेका थिए र पवित्र आत्मा उनीमाथि हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon. And this man was just and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him:
26 पवित्र आत्माद्वारा उनलाई यो प्रकट गराइएको थियो कि परमप्रभुका ख्रीष्टलाई नदेखेसम्म उनको मृत्यु हुनेछैन ।
and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Anointed.
27 एक दिन तिनी मन्दिरमा पवित्र आत्माको अगुवाइमा आए । व्यवस्थाले जे माग गरेको थियो, त्यो पुरा गर्न आमाबुबाद्वारा बालक येशूलाई मन्दिरमा ल्याइयो ।
And he came by the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
28 त्यसपछि शिमियोनले बालक येशूलाई काखमा लिएर परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर्दै भने,
he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 “तपाईंको वचनअनुसार, अब हे परमप्रभु, आफ्ना दासलाई शान्तिसँग बिदा दिनुहोस् ।
Now, Lord, thou dost let thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word,
30 किनभने मेरा आँखाले तपाईंको उद्धारलाई देखेका छन्,
for my eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 जुन तपाईंले सबै मानिसहरूको दृष्टिमा तयार गर्नुभएको छ ।
which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 तपाईंका जन इस्राएलीहरूका महिमा र अन्यजातिहरूलाई प्रकाश दिने ज्योति हुनुहुन्छ ।”
a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 बालकका बुबाआमा बालकका विषयमा भनिएका कुरामा अचम्मित भए ।
And Joseph and his mother wondered at the things which were spoken of him.
34 त्यसपछि शिमियोनले तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिए र उहाँकी आमा मरियमलाई भने, “होसियारीसँग सुन, यो बालक इस्राएलमा धेरैको उत्थान र पतनका निम्ति र धेरैको विरुद्धमा बोलिने चिह्नको निम्ति नियुक्त गरिएको छ ।
And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign to be spoken against,
35 साथै तरवारले तिम्रो आफ्नै प्राण छेड्नेछ, ताकि धेरैका हृदयका विचारहरू प्रकट होऊन् ।”
(and a sword shall pierce through your own soul, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 एक जना हन्ना नामकी अगमवादिनी पनि त्यहाँ थिइन् । उनी आशेर कुलकी फनुएलकी छोरी थिइन् । उनी धेरै वृद्ध भइसकेकी थिइन् । विवाहपछि उनी जम्मा सात वर्ष आफ्ना पतिसँग बसेकी थिइन् ।
And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; she was of great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity:
37 त्यसपछि उनी चौरासी वर्ष विधवा नै रहिन् । उनले मन्दिर कहिल्यै नछोडी निरन्तर दिनरात प्रार्थना र उपवास गर्दै परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्दै रहिन् ।
and she was a widow of about eighty-four years, and she departed not from the temple, but served, day and night, with fastings and prayers.
38 त्यही समयमा उनी त्यहाँ आइन् र परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाउन थालिन् । यरूशलेमको उद्धार पर्खिरहेका हरेकलाई उनले बालकको बारेमा बताइन् ।
And she came in at that hour, and gave thanks to Lord, and spoke of him to all that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थाले बताएबमोजिम जब तिनीहरूले सबै काम सिद्धयाए, उनीहरू आफ्नै सहर गालीलको नासरतमा फर्के ।
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 बालक बुद्धिमा र कदमा बढ्दै जानुभयो, र परमप्रभुको अनुग्रह उहाँमाथि थियो ।
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
41 उहाँका आमाबुबा निस्तार-चाड मनाउनका निम्ति हरेक वर्ष यरूशलेममा जान्थे ।
And his parents went up every year to Jerusalem, at the feast of passover.
42 जब उहाँ बाह्र वर्षको हुनुहुन्थ्यो, तिनीहरू सधैँझैँ चाड मनाउनका निम्ति फेरि गए ।
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast.
43 चाडका पुरा दिनहरू त्यहाँ बिताएपछि तिनीहरू आफ्ना घर फर्किन थाले, तर बालक येशू यरूशलेममा नै रहनुभयो जुन कुरा उहाँका बुबाआमालाई थाहा थिएन ।
And when they had kept the full number of days, and had set out to return, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew it not.
44 तर तिनीहरूले बालक येशू यात्रीहरूकै दलमा हुनुहुन्छ भनी विचार गरे र एक दिनको यात्रा गरी सिद्धायाए । त्यसपछि उनीहरूले उहाँलाई नातेदार र साथीहरूको बिचमा खोज्न थाले ।
But supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their relatives and acquaintance;
45 जब उनीहरूले उहाँलाई भेट्टाएनन्, यरूशलेममा फर्केर उहाँलाई खोज्न थाले ।
and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
46 तिन दिनपछि, उनीहरूले उहाँलाई मन्दिरमा शिक्षकहरूको बिचमा सुन्दै र तिनीहरूलाई प्रश्न गर्दै गरेको भेट्टाए ।
And it came to pass, after three days, that they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 जतिले उहाँका कुरा सुन्थे, उहाँको समझशक्ति र जवाफमा आश्चर्य चकित हुन्थे ।
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding, and his answers.
48 जब उनीहरूले उहाँलाई देखे, तब अचम्मित भए । उहाँकी आमा मरियमले उहाँलाई भनिन् “छोरा, किन तिमीले हामीसँग यस्तो व्यवहार गर्यौ? सुन! तिम्रा बुबा र मैले कति चिन्तित हुँदै तिमीलाई खोजिरहेका थियौँ ।”
And when they saw him they were amazed. And his mother said to him: Child, why have you acted thus toward us? Behold, your father and I have sought for you in sorrow.
49 उहाँले उनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तपाईंहरूले मलाई किन खोजिरहनुभएको? म मेरा पिताको घरमा हुनुपर्छ भनेर के तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा छैन?”
And he said to them: Why did you seek for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?
50 तर उहाँले उनीहरूलाई के भन्नुभएको थियो भनी उनीहरूले बुझ्न सकेनन् ।
And they did not understand the words which he spoke to them.
51 त्यसपछि उहाँ तिनीहरूसँग आफ्नो घर नासरत फर्कनुभयो र आज्ञाकारी भई रहनुभयो । उहाँकी आमाले यी सबै कुरा मनमै राखिन् ।
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. And his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 तर येशू बुद्धिमा, कदमा र परमेश्वर अनि मानिसको निगाहमा निरन्तर बढ्दै जानुभयो ।
And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and with man.
