1 प्रथमतो ये साक्षिणो वाक्यप्रचारकाश्चासन् तेऽस्माकं मध्ये यद्यत् सप्रमाणं वाक्यमर्पयन्ति स्म
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 तदनुसारतोऽन्येपि बहवस्तद्वृत्तान्तं रचयितुं प्रवृत्ताः।
Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; (logos)
3 अतएव हे महामहिमथियफिल् त्वं या याः कथा अशिक्ष्यथास्तासां दृढप्रमाणानि यथा प्राप्नोषि
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,
4 तदर्थं प्रथममारभ्य तानि सर्व्वाणि ज्ञात्वाहमपि अनुक्रमात् सर्व्ववृत्तान्तान् तुभ्यं लेखितुं मतिमकार्षम्।
That you might know the certainty of those things, (logos) wherein you have been instructed.
5 यिहूदादेशीयहेरोद्नामके राजत्वं कुर्व्वति अबीययाजकस्य पर्य्यायाधिकारी सिखरियनामक एको याजको हारोणवंशोद्भवा इलीशेवाख्या
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.
6 तस्य जाया द्वाविमौ निर्दोषौ प्रभोः सर्व्वाज्ञा व्यवस्थाश्च संमन्य ईश्वरदृष्टौ धार्म्मिकावास्ताम्।
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 तयोः सन्तान एकोपि नासीत्, यत इलीशेवा बन्ध्या तौ द्वावेव वृद्धावभवताम्।
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
8 यदा स्वपर्य्यानुक्रमेण सिखरिय ईश्वास्य समक्षं याजकीयं कर्म्म करोति
And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
9 तदा यज्ञस्य दिनपरिपाय्या परमेश्वरस्य मन्दिरे प्रवेशकाले धूपज्वालनं कर्म्म तस्य करणीयमासीत्।
According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
10 तद्धूपज्वालनकाले लोकनिवहे प्रार्थनां कर्तुं बहिस्तिष्ठति
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
11 सति सिखरियो यस्यां वेद्यां धूपं ज्वालयति तद्दक्षिणपार्श्वे परमेश्वरस्य दूत एक उपस्थितो दर्शनं ददौ।
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12 तं दृष्ट्वा सिखरिय उद्विविजे शशङ्के च।
And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13 तदा स दूतस्तं बभाषे हे सिखरिय मा भैस्तव प्रार्थना ग्राह्या जाता तव भार्य्या इलीशेवा पुत्रं प्रसोष्यते तस्य नाम योेहन् इति करिष्यसि।
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.
14 किञ्च त्वं सानन्दः सहर्षश्च भविष्यसि तस्य जन्मनि बहव आनन्दिष्यन्ति च।
And you shall have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 यतो हेतोः स परमेश्वरस्य गोचरे महान् भविष्यति तथा द्राक्षारसं सुरां वा किमपि न पास्यति, अपरं जन्मारभ्य पवित्रेणात्मना परिपूर्णः
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.
16 सन् इस्रायेल्वंशीयान् अनेकान् प्रभोः परमेश्वरस्य मार्गमानेष्यति।
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 सन्तानान् प्रति पितृणां मनांसि धर्म्मज्ञानं प्रत्यनाज्ञाग्राहिणश्च परावर्त्तयितुं, प्रभोः परमेश्वरस्य सेवार्थम् एकां सज्जितजातिं विधातुञ्च स एलियरूपात्मशक्तिप्राप्तस्तस्याग्रे गमिष्यति।
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 तदा सिखरियो दूतमवादीत् कथमेतद् वेत्स्यामि? यतोहं वृद्धो मम भार्य्या च वृद्धा।
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 ततो दूतः प्रत्युवाच पश्येश्वरस्य साक्षाद्वर्त्ती जिब्रायेल्नामा दूतोहं त्वया सह कथां गदितुं तुभ्यमिमां शुभवार्त्तां दातुञ्च प्रेषितः।
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 किन्तु मदीयं वाक्यं काले फलिष्यति तत् त्वया न प्रतीतम् अतः कारणाद् यावदेव तानि न सेत्स्यन्ति तावत् त्वं वक्तुंमशक्तो मूको भव।
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 तदानीं ये ये लोकाः सिखरियमपैक्षन्त ते मध्येमन्दिरं तस्य बहुविलम्बाद् आश्चर्य्यं मेनिरे।
And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
22 स बहिरागतो यदा किमपि वाक्यं वक्तुमशक्तः सङ्केतं कृत्वा निःशब्दस्तस्यौ तदा मध्येमन्दिरं कस्यचिद् दर्शनं तेन प्राप्तम् इति सर्व्वे बुबुधिरे।
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.
23 अनन्तरं तस्य सेवनपर्य्याये सम्पूर्णे सति स निजगेहं जगाम।
And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24 कतिपयदिनेषु गतेषु तस्य भार्य्या इलीशेवा गर्ब्भवती बभूव
And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 पश्चात् सा पञ्चमासान् संगोप्याकथयत् लोकानां समक्षं ममापमानं खण्डयितुं परमेश्वरो मयि दृष्टिं पातयित्वा कर्म्मेदृशं कृतवान्।
Thus has the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
26 अपरञ्च तस्या गर्ब्भस्य षष्ठे मासे जाते गालील्प्रदेशीयनासरत्पुरे
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 दायूदो वंशीयाय यूषफ्नाम्ने पुरुषाय या मरियम्नामकुमारी वाग्दत्तासीत् तस्याः समीपं जिब्रायेल् दूत ईश्वरेण प्रहितः।
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 स गत्वा जगाद हे ईश्वरानुगृहीतकन्ये तव शुभं भूयात् प्रभुः परमेश्वरस्तव सहायोस्ति नारीणां मध्ये त्वमेव धन्या।
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 तदानीं सा तं दृष्ट्वा तस्य वाक्यत उद्विज्य कीदृशं भाषणमिदम् इति मनसा चिन्तयामास।
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, (logos) and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 ततो दूतोऽवदत् हे मरियम् भयं माकार्षीः, त्वयि परमेश्वरस्यानुग्रहोस्ति।
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for you have found favour with God.
31 पश्य त्वं गर्ब्भं धृत्वा पुत्रं प्रसोष्यसे तस्य नाम यीशुरिति करिष्यसि।
And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS.
32 स महान् भविष्यति तथा सर्व्वेभ्यः श्रेष्ठस्य पुत्र इति ख्यास्यति; अपरं प्रभुः परमेश्वरस्तस्य पितुर्दायूदः सिंहासनं तस्मै दास्यति;
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:
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 तदा मरियम् तं दूतं बभाषे नाहं पुरुषसङ्गं करोमि तर्हि कथमेतत् सम्भविष्यति?
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 ततो दूतोऽकथयत् पवित्र आत्मा त्वामाश्रायिष्यति तथा सर्व्वश्रेष्ठस्य शक्तिस्तवोपरि छायां करिष्यति ततो हेतोस्तव गर्ब्भाद् यः पवित्रबालको जनिष्यते स ईश्वरपुत्र इति ख्यातिं प्राप्स्यति।
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 अपरञ्च पश्य तव ज्ञातिरिलीशेवा यां सर्व्वे बन्ध्यामवदन् इदानीं सा वार्द्धक्ये सन्तानमेकं गर्ब्भेऽधारयत् तस्य षष्ठमासोभूत्।
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.
37 किमपि कर्म्म नासाध्यम् ईश्वरस्य।
For with God nothing (rhema) shall be impossible.
38 तदा मरियम् जगाद, पश्य प्रभेरहं दासी मह्यं तव वाक्यानुसारेण सर्व्वमेतद् घटताम्; अननतरं दूतस्तस्याः समीपात् प्रतस्थे।
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to your word. (rhema) And the angel departed from her.
39 अथ कतिपयदिनात् परं मरियम् तस्मात् पर्व्वतमयप्रदेशीययिहूदाया नगरमेकं शीघ्रं गत्वा
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
40 सिखरिययाजकस्य गृहं प्रविश्य तस्य जायाम् इलीशेवां सम्बोध्यावदत्।
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 ततो मरियमः सम्बोधनवाक्ये इलीशेवायाः कर्णयोः प्रविष्टमात्रे सति तस्या गर्ब्भस्थबालको ननर्त्त। तत इलीशेवा पवित्रेणात्मना परिपूर्णा सती
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 प्रोच्चैर्गदितुमारेभे, योषितां मध्ये त्वमेव धन्या, तव गर्ब्भस्थः शिशुश्च धन्यः।
And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 त्वं प्रभोर्माता, मम निवेशने त्वया चरणावर्पितौ, ममाद्य सौभाग्यमेतत्।
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 पश्य तव वाक्ये मम कर्णयोः प्रविष्टमात्रे सति ममोदरस्थः शिशुरानन्दान् ननर्त्त।
For, lo, as soon as the voice of your salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 या स्त्री व्यश्वसीत् सा धन्या, यतो हेतोस्तां प्रति परमेश्वरोक्तं वाक्यं सर्व्वं सिद्धं भविष्यति।
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
46 तदानीं मरियम् जगाद। धन्यवादं परेशस्य करोति मामकं मनः।
And Mary said, My soul does magnify the Lord,
47 ममात्मा तारकेशे च समुल्लासं प्रगच्छति।
And my spirit (pneuma) has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 अकरोत् स प्रभु र्दुष्टिं स्वदास्या दुर्गतिं प्रति। पश्याद्यारभ्य मां धन्यां वक्ष्यन्ति पुरुषाः सदा।
For he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 यः सर्व्वशक्तिमान् यस्य नामापि च पवित्रकं। स एव सुमहत्कर्म्म कृतवान् मन्निमित्तकं।
For he that is mighty has done to me great things; and holy is his name.
50 ये बिभ्यति जनास्तस्मात् तेषां सन्तानपंक्तिषु। अनुकम्पा तदीया च सर्व्वदैव सुतिष्ठति।
And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51 स्वबाहुबलतस्तेन प्राकाश्यत पराक्रमः। मनःकुमन्त्रणासार्द्धं विकीर्य्यन्तेऽभिमानिनः।
He has showed strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 सिंहासनगताल्लोकान् बलिनश्चावरोह्य सः। पदेषूच्चेषु लोकांस्तु क्षुद्रान् संस्थापयत्यपि।
He has put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53 क्षुधितान् मानवान् द्रव्यैरुत्तमैः परितर्प्य सः। सकलान् धनिनो लोकान् विसृजेद् रिक्तहस्तकान्।
He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he has sent empty away.
54 इब्राहीमि च तद्वंशे या दयास्ति सदैव तां। स्मृत्वा पुरा पितृणां नो यथा साक्षात् प्रतिश्रुतं। (aiōn g165)
He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
55 इस्रायेल्सेवकस्तेन तथोपक्रियते स्वयं॥
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
56 अनन्तरं मरियम् प्रायेण मासत्रयम् इलीशेवया सहोषित्वा व्याघुय्य निजनिवेशनं ययौ।
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
57 तदनन्तरम् इलीशेवायाः प्रसवकाल उपस्थिते सति सा पुत्रं प्रासोष्ट।
Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58 ततः परमेश्वरस्तस्यां महानुग्रहं कृतवान् एतत् श्रुत्वा समीपवासिनः कुटुम्बाश्चागत्य तया सह मुमुदिरे।
And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had showed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
59 तथाष्टमे दिने ते बालकस्य त्वचं छेत्तुम् एत्य तस्य पितृनामानुरूपं तन्नाम सिखरिय इति कर्त्तुमीषुः।
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.
60 किन्तु तस्य माताकथयत् तन्न, नामास्य योहन् इति कर्त्तव्यम्।
And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
61 तदा ते व्याहरन् तव वंशमध्ये नामेदृशं कस्यापि नास्ति।
And they said unto her, There is none of your kindred that is called by this name.
62 ततः परं तस्य पितरं सिखरियं प्रति सङ्केत्य पप्रच्छुः शिशोः किं नाम कारिष्यते?
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63 ततः स फलकमेकं याचित्वा लिलेख तस्य नाम योहन् भविष्यति। तस्मात् सर्व्वे आश्चर्य्यं मेनिरे।
And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
64 तत्क्षणं सिखरियस्य जिह्वाजाड्येऽपगते स मुखं व्यादाय स्पष्टवर्णमुच्चार्य्य ईश्वरस्य गुणानुवादं चकार।
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised God.
65 तस्माच्चतुर्दिक्स्थाः समीपवासिलोका भीता एवमेताः सर्व्वाः कथा यिहूदायाः पर्व्वतमयप्रदेशस्य सर्व्वत्र प्रचारिताः।
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 तस्मात् श्रोतारो मनःसु स्थापयित्वा कथयाम्बभूवुः कीदृशोयं बालो भविष्यति? अथ परमेश्वरस्तस्य सहायोभूत्।
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.
67 तदा योहनः पिता सिखरियः पवित्रेणात्मना परिपूर्णः सन् एतादृशं भविष्यद्वाक्यं कथयामास।
And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and prophesied, saying,
68 इस्रायेलः प्रभु र्यस्तु स धन्यः परमेश्वरः। अनुगृह्य निजाल्लोकान् स एव परिमोचयेत्।
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people,
69 विपक्षजनहस्तेभ्यो यथा मोच्यामहे वयं। यावज्जीवञ्च धर्म्मेण सारल्येन च निर्भयाः।
And has raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 सेवामहै तमेवैकम् एतत्कारणमेव च। स्वकीयं सुपवित्रञ्च संस्मृत्य नियमं सदा।
As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: (aiōn g165)
71 कृपया पुरुषान् पूर्व्वान् निकषार्थात्तु नः पितुः। इब्राहीमः समीपे यं शपथं कृतवान् पुरा।
That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 तमेव सफलं कर्त्तं तथा शत्रुगणस्य च। ऋृतीयाकारिणश्चैव करेभ्यो रक्षणाय नः।
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
The oath which he swore to our father Abraham,
74 यथोक्तवान् तथा स्वस्य दायूदः सेवकस्य तु।
That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75 वंशे त्रातारमेकं स समुत्पादितवान् स्वयम्।
In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
76 अतो हे बालक त्वन्तु सर्व्वेभ्यः श्रेष्ठ एव यः। तस्यैव भाविवादीति प्रविख्यातो भविष्यसि। अस्माकं चरणान् क्षेमे मार्गे चालयितुं सदा। एवं ध्वान्तेऽर्थतो मृत्योश्छायायां ये तु मानवाः।
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;
77 उपविष्टास्तु तानेव प्रकाशयितुमेव हि। कृत्वा महानुकम्पां हि यामेव परमेश्वरः।
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
78 ऊर्द्व्वात् सूर्य्यमुदाय्यैवास्मभ्यं प्रादात्तु दर्शनं। तयानुकम्पया स्वस्य लोकानां पापमोचने।
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us,
79 परित्राणस्य तेभ्यो हि ज्ञानविश्राणनाय च। प्रभो र्मार्गं परिष्कर्त्तुं तस्याग्रायी भविष्यसि॥
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 अथ बालकः शरीरेण बुद्ध्या च वर्द्धितुमारेभे; अपरञ्च स इस्रायेलो वंशीयलोकानां समीपे यावन्न प्रकटीभूतस्तास्तावत् प्रान्तरे न्यवसत्।
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, (pneuma) and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.
