1 प्रथमतो ये साक्षिणो वाक्यप्रचारकाश्चासन् तेऽस्माकं मध्ये यद्यत् सप्रमाणं वाक्यमर्पयन्ति स्म
Whereas many have undertaken to compose a narrative of the things, which have been fully certified among us;
2 तदनुसारतोऽन्येपि बहवस्तद्वृत्तान्तं रचयितुं प्रवृत्ताः।
as they delivered them to us, who were from the beginning eye-witnesses of them, and ministers of the word;
3 अतएव हे महामहिमथियफिल् त्वं या याः कथा अशिक्ष्यथास्तासां दृढप्रमाणानि यथा प्राप्नोषि
it seemed good to me also, having thoroughly traced them all from the very first, to write an account of them in order to thee,
4 तदर्थं प्रथममारभ्य तानि सर्व्वाणि ज्ञात्वाहमपि अनुक्रमात् सर्व्ववृत्तान्तान् तुभ्यं लेखितुं मतिमकार्षम्।
most excellent Theophilus, that thou mayst know the certainty of the things wherein thou hast been instructed.
5 यिहूदादेशीयहेरोद्नामके राजत्वं कुर्व्वति अबीययाजकस्य पर्य्यायाधिकारी सिखरियनामक एको याजको हारोणवंशोद्भवा इलीशेवाख्या
There was in the days of Herod king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 तस्य जाया द्वाविमौ निर्दोषौ प्रभोः सर्व्वाज्ञा व्यवस्थाश्च संमन्य ईश्वरदृष्टौ धार्म्मिकावास्ताम्।
And they were both righteous in the sight of 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, for Elisabeth was barren; and they were both far advanced in years.
8 यदा स्वपर्य्यानुक्रमेण सिखरिय ईश्वास्य समक्षं याजकीयं कर्म्म करोति
And it came to pass, while he was in the order of his course performing the priest's office before God,
9 तदा यज्ञस्य दिनपरिपाय्या परमेश्वरस्य मन्दिरे प्रवेशकाले धूपज्वालनं कर्म्म तस्य करणीयमासीत्।
according to the custom of dividing the office of the priests, that it fell to his lot to burn incense, entring into the temple of the Lord:
10 तद्धूपज्वालनकाले लोकनिवहे प्रार्थनां कर्तुं बहिस्तिष्ठति
and all the people were praying without at the time of offering incense.
11 सति सिखरियो यस्यां वेद्यां धूपं ज्वालयति तद्दक्षिणपार्श्वे परमेश्वरस्य दूत एक उपस्थितो दर्शनं ददौ।
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right hand of the altar of incense.
12 तं दृष्ट्वा सिखरिय उद्विविजे शशङ्के च।
And when Zacharias saw him, he was startled and struck with fear:
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 thy prayer is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:
14 किञ्च त्वं सानन्दः सहर्षश्च भविष्यसि तस्य जन्मनि बहव आनन्दिष्यन्ति च।
and he shall be a joy and transport to thee, yea, many shall rejoice on account of his birth; for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord,
15 यतो हेतोः स परमेश्वरस्य गोचरे महान् भविष्यति तथा द्राक्षारसं सुरां वा किमपि न पास्यति, अपरं जन्मारभ्य पवित्रेणात्मना परिपूर्णः
and he shall drink neither wine nor any other strong liquor; and he shall be filled with the holy Spirit even from his birth;
16 सन् इस्रायेल्वंशीयान् अनेकान् प्रभोः परमेश्वरस्य मार्गमानेष्यति।
and many of the children of Israel shall he convert unto 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 and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to prepare for the Lord a people well-disposed.
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 far advanced in years.
19 ततो दूतः प्रत्युवाच पश्येश्वरस्य साक्षाद्वर्त्ती जिब्रायेल्नामा दूतोहं त्वया सह कथां गदितुं तुभ्यमिमां शुभवार्त्तां दातुञ्च प्रेषितः।
And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God, and I am sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee this good news:
20 किन्तु मदीयं वाक्यं काले फलिष्यति तत् त्वया न प्रतीतम् अतः कारणाद् यावदेव तानि न सेत्स्यन्ति तावत् त्वं वक्तुंमशक्तो मूको भव।
and now shalt thou be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass; because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled at their season.
21 तदानीं ये ये लोकाः सिखरियमपैक्षन्त ते मध्येमन्दिरं तस्य बहुविलम्बाद् आश्चर्य्यं मेनिरे।
And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondered at his staying so long in the temple:
22 स बहिरागतो यदा किमपि वाक्यं वक्तुमशक्तः सङ्केतं कृत्वा निःशब्दस्तस्यौ तदा मध्येमन्दिरं कस्यचिद् दर्शनं तेन प्राप्तम् इति सर्व्वे बुबुधिरे।
but when he came out he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them, and continued speechless:
23 अनन्तरं तस्य सेवनपर्य्याये सम्पूर्णे सति स निजगेहं जगाम।
and 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 these days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and retired five months,
25 पश्चात् सा पञ्चमासान् संगोप्याकथयत् लोकानां समक्षं ममापमानं खण्डयितुं परमेश्वरो मयि दृष्टिं पातयित्वा कर्म्मेदृशं कृतवान्।
saying, the Lord hath thus dealt with me in the days wherein he looked upon me to take away my reproach among men.
26 अपरञ्च तस्या गर्ब्भस्य षष्ठे मासे जाते गालील्प्रदेशीयनासरत्पुरे
But in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee called Nazareth,
27 दायूदो वंशीयाय यूषफ्नाम्ने पुरुषाय या मरियम्नामकुमारी वाग्दत्तासीत् तस्याः समीपं जिब्रायेल् दूत ईश्वरेण प्रहितः।
to a virgin who was betrothed to a man, whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
28 स गत्वा जगाद हे ईश्वरानुगृहीतकन्ये तव शुभं भूयात् प्रभुः परमेश्वरस्तव सहायोस्ति नारीणां मध्ये त्वमेव धन्या।
And when the angel came in to the room to her, he said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured; the Lord is with thee;
29 तदानीं सा तं दृष्ट्वा तस्य वाक्यत उद्विज्य कीदृशं भाषणमिदम् इति मनसा चिन्तयामास।
blessed art thou among women! and when she saw him, she was confused at what he said, and pondered in her mind what sort of salutation this could be.
30 ततो दूतोऽवदत् हे मरियम् भयं माकार्षीः, त्वयि परमेश्वरस्यानुग्रहोस्ति।
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God:
31 पश्य त्वं गर्ब्भं धृत्वा पुत्रं प्रसोष्यसे तस्य नाम यीशुरिति करिष्यसि।
and behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and shalt 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 Most High, and the Lord God shall give Him the throne of David his father,
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 to the angel, How can this be, since I am a virgin?
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 shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee, and therefore thine holy offspring shall be called the Son of God: and lo,
36 अपरञ्च पश्य तव ज्ञातिरिलीशेवा यां सर्व्वे बन्ध्यामवदन् इदानीं सा वार्द्धक्ये सन्तानमेकं गर्ब्भेऽधारयत् तस्य षष्ठमासोभूत्।
thy cousin Elisabeth also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren;
37 किमपि कर्म्म नासाध्यम् ईश्वरस्य।
for nothing is impossible with God.
38 तदा मरियम् जगाद, पश्य प्रभेरहं दासी मह्यं तव वाक्यानुसारेण सर्व्वमेतद् घटताम्; अननतरं दूतस्तस्याः समीपात् प्रतस्थे।
Then Mary said, Behold the servant of the Lord, may it be unto me according to thy word. So the angel departed from her.
39 अथ कतिपयदिनात् परं मरियम् तस्मात् पर्व्वतमयप्रदेशीययिहूदाया नगरमेकं शीघ्रं गत्वा
Then Mary arose and went with speed into the hill-country, to a city of Juda,
40 सिखरिययाजकस्य गृहं प्रविश्य तस्य जायाम् इलीशेवां सम्बोध्यावदत्।
and came 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 as soon as Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the child leaped in her womb, and Elisabeth was filled with the holy Spirit:
42 प्रोच्चैर्गदितुमारेभे, योषितां मध्ये त्वमेव धन्या, तव गर्ब्भस्थः शिशुश्च धन्यः।
and she cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb:
43 त्वं प्रभोर्माता, मम निवेशने त्वया चरणावर्पितौ, ममाद्य सौभाग्यमेतत्।
and whence is this honor to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 पश्य तव वाक्ये मम कर्णयोः प्रविष्टमात्रे सति ममोदरस्थः शिशुरानन्दान् ननर्त्त।
for behold, as soon as the voice of thy salutation reached my ears, the child in my womb leaped 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 the things that were told her from the Lord.
46 तदानीं मरियम् जगाद। धन्यवादं परेशस्य करोति मामकं मनः।
And Mary said, "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour;
47 ममात्मा तारकेशे च समुल्लासं प्रगच्छति।
for He hath regarded the low estate of his handmaid:
48 अकरोत् स प्रभु र्दुष्टिं स्वदास्या दुर्गतिं प्रति। पश्याद्यारभ्य मां धन्यां वक्ष्यन्ति पुरुषाः सदा।
for behold, from henceforth shall all generations call me blessed:
49 यः सर्व्वशक्तिमान् यस्य नामापि च पवित्रकं। स एव सुमहत्कर्म्म कृतवान् मन्निमित्तकं।
for He that is mighty hath done great things for me,
50 ये बिभ्यति जनास्तस्मात् तेषां सन्तानपंक्तिषु। अनुकम्पा तदीया च सर्व्वदैव सुतिष्ठति।
and his name is holy, and his mercy is on them that fear Him, unto all generations.
51 स्वबाहुबलतस्तेन प्राकाश्यत पराक्रमः। मनःकुमन्त्रणासार्द्धं विकीर्य्यन्तेऽभिमानिनः।
He hath wrought powerfully with his arm; He hath confounded those that were proud in the imagination of their heart.
52 सिंहासनगताल्लोकान् बलिनश्चावरोह्य सः। पदेषूच्चेषु लोकांस्तु क्षुद्रान् संस्थापयत्यपि।
He hath cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the humble.
53 क्षुधितान् मानवान् द्रव्यैरुत्तमैः परितर्प्य सः। सकलान् धनिनो लोकान् विसृजेद् रिक्तहस्तकान्।
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He hath sent away empty.
54 इब्राहीमि च तद्वंशे या दयास्ति सदैव तां। स्मृत्वा पुरा पितृणां नो यथा साक्षात् प्रतिश्रुतं। (aiōn g165)
He hath supported Israel his servant,
55 इस्रायेल्सेवकस्तेन तथोपक्रियते स्वयं॥
in remembrance of his mercy (even as He promised 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 stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her own house.
57 तदनन्तरम् इलीशेवायाः प्रसवकाल उपस्थिते सति सा पुत्रं प्रासोष्ट।
Now when Elisabeth's time for her delivery was fully come, she brought forth a son:
58 ततः परमेश्वरस्तस्यां महानुग्रहं कृतवान् एतत् श्रुत्वा समीपवासिनः कुटुम्बाश्चागत्य तया सह मुमुदिरे।
and her neighbours and kindred heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they congratulated her;
59 तथाष्टमे दिने ते बालकस्य त्वचं छेत्तुम् एत्य तस्य पितृनामानुरूपं तन्नाम सिखरिय इति कर्त्तुमीषुः।
and on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child: and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father:
60 किन्तु तस्य माताकथयत् तन्न, नामास्य योहन् इति कर्त्तव्यम्।
but his mother said, No, but he shall be called John:
61 तदा ते व्याहरन् तव वंशमध्ये नामेदृशं कस्यापि नास्ति।
and they said to her, There is none of thy relations of this name.
62 ततः परं तस्य पितरं सिखरियं प्रति सङ्केत्य पप्रच्छुः शिशोः किं नाम कारिष्यते?
And they made signs to his father, what name he would have him called by.
63 ततः स फलकमेकं याचित्वा लिलेख तस्य नाम योहन् भविष्यति। तस्मात् सर्व्वे आश्चर्य्यं मेनिरे।
And he called for a writing-tablet, and wrote upon it, His name is John: and they all wondered.
64 तत्क्षणं सिखरियस्य जिह्वाजाड्येऽपगते स मुखं व्यादाय स्पष्टवर्णमुच्चार्य्य ईश्वरस्य गुणानुवादं चकार।
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake and praised God.
65 तस्माच्चतुर्दिक्स्थाः समीपवासिलोका भीता एवमेताः सर्व्वाः कथा यिहूदायाः पर्व्वतमयप्रदेशस्य सर्व्वत्र प्रचारिताः।
And an awe fell upon all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were divulged through the whole hill-country of Judea.
66 तस्मात् श्रोतारो मनःसु स्थापयित्वा कथयाम्बभूवुः कीदृशोयं बालो भविष्यति? अथ परमेश्वरस्तस्य सहायोभूत्।
And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, saying, What a child will 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,
68 इस्रायेलः प्रभु र्यस्तु स धन्यः परमेश्वरः। अनुगृह्य निजाल्लोकान् स एव परिमोचयेत्।
and prophesied, saying, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
69 विपक्षजनहस्तेभ्यो यथा मोच्यामहे वयं। यावज्जीवञ्च धर्म्मेण सारल्येन च निर्भयाः।
and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us,
70 सेवामहै तमेवैकम् एतत्कारणमेव च। स्वकीयं सुपवित्रञ्च संस्मृत्य नियमं सदा।
in the house of his servant David, as He spake by the mouth of his holy prophets from the beginning, (aiōn g165)
71 कृपया पुरुषान् पूर्व्वान् निकषार्थात्तु नः पितुः। इब्राहीमः समीपे यं शपथं कृतवान् पुरा।
even salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
72 तमेव सफलं कर्त्तं तथा शत्रुगणस्य च। ऋृतीयाकारिणश्चैव करेभ्यो रक्षणाय नः।
to display his mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
according to the oath which He sware to Abraham our father,
74 यथोक्तवान् तथा स्वस्य दायूदः सेवकस्य तु।
to grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him,
75 वंशे त्रातारमेकं स समुत्पादितवान् स्वयम्।
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 thou, my child, shalt be called the prophet of the most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord,
77 उपविष्टास्तु तानेव प्रकाशयितुमेव हि। कृत्वा महानुकम्पां हि यामेव परमेश्वरः।
to make known salvation to his people,
78 ऊर्द्व्वात् सूर्य्यमुदाय्यैवास्मभ्यं प्रादात्तु दर्शनं। तयानुकम्पया स्वस्य लोकानां पापमोचने।
in the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring hath visited us from on high,
79 परित्राणस्य तेभ्यो हि ज्ञानविश्राणनाय च। प्रभो र्मार्गं परिष्कर्त्तुं तस्याग्रायी भविष्यसि॥
to enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct 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 became strong in spirit: and he was in the deserts till the time of his being manifested to Israel.
