लुका 2
1 ती दिनहरूमा रोमी साम्राज्यभित्र बस्ने सबै जनाको जनगणना गर्नू भनी कैसर अगस्टसले उर्दी जारी गरे ।
NOW it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole land should be registered.
2 कुरेनियस सिरियाका हाकिम हुँदाको यो पहिलो जनगणना थियो ।
(And this first enrolment was made by Cyrenius, afterwards governor of Syria)
3 त्यसैले, सबै जना आ-आफ्ना गाउँमा जनगणनाका लागि नाउँ दर्ता गर्न गए ।
And all went to be registered, every one to his own city.
4 योसेफ पनि गालीलको नासरतबाट यहूदियाको बेथलेहेममा गए, जुन ठाउँ दाऊदको सहरको नामले चिनिन्थ्यो, किनभने उनी दाऊदको वंशका थिए ।
Then Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; because 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 enregistered with Mary, the wife espoused to him, who was big with child.
6 तिनीहरू त्यहीँ छँदा मरियमको बालक जन्माउने समय आयो ।
And it came to pass, while they were there, that her time was up, that she should be delivered.
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 a son, her first-born, and wrapped him in swaddling-clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 त्यस इलाकाको चौरमा राती आ-आफ्ना भेडाका रखवाली गर्दै गोठालाहरू बसिरहेका थिए ।
And there were shepherds in that country abiding in the open air, and keeping guard over 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, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were exceedingly affrighted.
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 unto them, Be not affrighted: for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.
11 आज तिमीहरूका निम्ति दाऊदको सहरमा एउटा मुक्तिदाताको जन्म भएको छ । उहाँ ख्रीष्ट प्रभु हुनुहुन्छ ।
Because this day there is born for you a Saviour, which is Messiah, the Lord, in the city of David.
12 तिमीहरूलाई चिह्नचाहिँ यो दिइएको छ, कि तिमीहरूले बालकलाई कपडाले बेह्रेरेर जनावरहरूलाई खुवाउने डुँडमा सुताइरहेको भेट्टाउनेछौ ।”
And this shall be a sign for you; Ye shall find the babe in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger.
13 एक्कासि ती स्वर्गदूतसँग स्वर्गीय सेनाको एउटा ठुलो दल देखा पर्यो र तिनीहरूले यसो भन्दै परमेश्वरको प्रंशसा गरे ।
And suddenly there appeared 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 in the highest heavens to God! and upon earth, peace! towards men complacence.
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, as the angels went from them into heaven, the men, the shepherds, said also to each other, Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath happened, which the Lord hath 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 Mary, and Joseph, and the babe, lying in the manger:
17 तिनीहरूले यसलाई देखे पछि, बालकको बारेमा बताइएका सबै कुरा मानिसहरूलाई बताए ।
and when they saw it, they made a public report of the declaration delivered to them respecting this child.
18 गोठालाहरूद्वारा भनिएका कुरा सुन्नेहरू जति सबै जना आश्चर्य चकित भए ।
And all who heard it, marvelled at the things told them by the shepherds.
19 तर मरियमले सुनेका सबै कुराहरूको बारेमा सोच्दै गरिन् र उनले आफ्नो मनमै राखिन् ।
But Mary carefully preserved all these declarations, laying them together in her heart, in order to apprehend their meaning.
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 the things which they had heard and seen, exactly as had been told 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 fulfilled for circumcising the child, his name also was called JESUS, the name imposed 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 of her purification were accomplished 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 child, that openeth 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 what is prescribed in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle doves, 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 at Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 पवित्र आत्माद्वारा उनलाई यो प्रकट गराइएको थियो कि परमप्रभुका ख्रीष्टलाई नदेखेसम्म उनको मृत्यु हुनेछैन ।
And it had been divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, till he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.
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; just as the parents were bringing in the child Jesus, that they might do according to what was the custom of the law concerning him;
28 त्यसपछि शिमियोनले बालक येशूलाई काखमा लिएर परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर्दै भने,
and he took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 “तपाईंको वचनअनुसार, अब हे परमप्रभु, आफ्ना दासलाई शान्तिसँग बिदा दिनुहोस् ।
Now dismiss thy servant, Lord, according to thy word, in peace;
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 to give revelation to the Gentiles, and glory to thy people Israel.
33 बालकका बुबाआमा बालकका विषयमा भनिएका कुरामा अचम्मित भए ।
And Joseph and his mother were amazed at the things spoken concerning 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 marked object to be spoken against;
35 साथै तरवारले तिम्रो आफ्नै प्राण छेड्नेछ, ताकि धेरैका हृदयका विचारहरू प्रकट होऊन् ।”
(so shall a dart pierce through thy own soul) that the reasonings of many hearts may be laid open,
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 Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asser: she was far advanced in old age, having lived but seven years with a husband, from her virgin state:
37 त्यसपछि उनी चौरासी वर्ष विधवा नै रहिन् । उनले मन्दिर कहिल्यै नछोडी निरन्तर दिनरात प्रार्थना र उपवास गर्दै परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्दै रहिन् ।
though she was now a widow, of about eighty-four years, who departed not from the temple, attending the divine service, with fastings and prayers night and day:
38 त्यही समयमा उनी त्यहाँ आइन् र परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाउन थालिन् । यरूशलेमको उद्धार पर्खिरहेका हरेकलाई उनले बालकको बारेमा बताइन् ।
and at the very same moment coming up, she also in turn confessed the Lord, and spake of him to all who were expecting redemption in Jerusalem.
39 परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थाले बताएबमोजिम जब तिनीहरूले सबै काम सिद्धयाए, उनीहरू आफ्नै सहर गालीलको नासरतमा फर्के ।
And when they had finished all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, into their own city Nazareth.
40 बालक बुद्धिमा र कदमा बढ्दै जानुभयो, र परमप्रभुको अनुग्रह उहाँमाथि थियो ।
And the child grew, and became endued with great powers of spirit, 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 annually to Jerusalem at the feast of the 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 concluded the days, as they were returning, the child Jesus remained at 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 him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their relations and acquaintances;
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, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and asking them questions.
47 जतिले उहाँका कुरा सुन्थे, उहाँको समझशक्ति र जवाफमा आश्चर्य चकित हुन्थे ।
And all who heard him, were in a transport of admiration, at his understanding and 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 struck with surprise; and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou behaved to us in this manner? lo! thy father and I have been seeking thee in anguish of heart.
49 उहाँले उनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तपाईंहरूले मलाई किन खोजिरहनुभएको? म मेरा पिताको घरमा हुनुपर्छ भनेर के तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा छैन?”
And he said unto them, Wherefore did ye seek me? did you not know, that I must be occupied with my Father’s affairs?
50 तर उहाँले उनीहरूलाई के भन्नुभएको थियो भनी उनीहरूले बुझ्न सकेनन् ।
And they understood not the meaning of what he spake 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 in subjection to them: though his mother preserved all these sayings in her heart.
52 तर येशू बुद्धिमा, कदमा र परमेश्वर अनि मानिसको निगाहमा निरन्तर बढ्दै जानुभयो ।
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
