< लूकः 2 >
1 अपरञ्च तस्मिन् काले राज्यस्य सर्व्वेषां लोकानां नामानि लेखयितुम् अगस्तकैसर आज्ञापयामास।
Now it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole inhabited world should be enrolled.
2 तदनुसारेण कुरीणियनामनि सुरियादेशस्य शासके सति नामलेखनं प्रारेभे।
This first census took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.
3 अतो हेतो र्नाम लेखितुं सर्व्वे जनाः स्वीयं स्वीयं नगरं जग्मुः।
So everyone was traveling, each to his own town, to enroll himself.
4 तदानीं यूषफ् नाम लेखितुं वाग्दत्तया स्वभार्य्यया गर्ब्भवत्या मरियमा सह स्वयं दायूदः सजातिवंश इति कारणाद् गालील्प्रदेशस्य नासरत्नगराद्
So Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of Natsareth town, into Judea to the city of David, that is called Bethlehem, because he was of David's ‘house’, that is, line of descent,
5 यिहूदाप्रदेशस्य बैत्लेहमाख्यं दायूद्नगरं जगाम।
to enroll himself with Mary, the woman who had been betrothed to him, who was pregnant.
6 अन्यच्च तत्र स्थाने तयोस्तिष्ठतोः सतो र्मरियमः प्रसूतिकाल उपस्थिते
So it happened that when they got there the days for her to give birth were completed;
7 सा तं प्रथमसुतं प्रासोष्ट किन्तु तस्मिन् वासगृहे स्थानाभावाद् बालकं वस्त्रेण वेष्टयित्वा गोशालायां स्थापयामास।
and she gave birth to her firstborn Son, wrapped Him in pieces of cloth and laid Him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the lodging place.
8 अनन्तरं ये कियन्तो मेषपालकाः स्वमेषव्रजरक्षायै तत्प्रदेशे स्थित्वा रजन्यां प्रान्तरे प्रहरिणः कर्म्म कुर्व्वन्ति,
Now there were shepherds in that same area, staying out in the field and keeping the nightly watches over their flock.
9 तेषां समीपं परमेश्वरस्य दूत आगत्योपतस्थौ; तदा चतुष्पार्श्वे परमेश्वरस्य तेजसः प्रकाशितत्वात् तेऽतिशशङ्किरे।
When wow, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 तदा स दूत उवाच मा भैष्ट पश्यताद्य दायूदः पुरे युष्मन्निमित्तं त्राता प्रभुः ख्रीष्टोऽजनिष्ट,
The angel said to them: “Do not be afraid because listen, I am announcing the most joyful news to you, which will be to all the people!
11 सर्व्वेषां लोकानां महानन्दजनकम् इमं मङ्गलवृत्तान्तं युष्मान् ज्ञापयामि।
You see, today, in David's city, a Savior was born to you, who is Lord Christ!
12 यूयं (तत्स्थानं गत्वा) वस्त्रवेष्टितं तं बालकं गोशालायां शयनं द्रक्ष्यथ युष्मान् प्रतीदं चिह्नं भविष्यति।
And this is the sign to you: you will find a Baby wrapped in pieces of cloth, lying in a manger.”
13 दूत इमां कथां कथितवति तत्राकस्मात् स्वर्गीयाः पृतना आगत्य कथाम् इमां कथयित्वेश्वरस्य गुणानन्ववादिषुः, यथा,
Suddenly a multitude of the heavenly army was with the angel praising God and saying,
14 सर्व्वोर्द्व्वस्थैरीश्वरस्य महिमा सम्प्रकाश्यतां। शान्तिर्भूयात् पृथिव्यास्तु सन्तोषश्च नरान् प्रति॥
“Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward mankind!”
15 ततः परं तेषां सन्निधे र्दूतगणे स्वर्गं गते मेषपालकाः परस्परम् अवेचन् आगच्छत प्रभुः परमेश्वरो यां घटनां ज्ञापितवान् तस्या याथर्यं ज्ञातुं वयमधुना बैत्लेहम्पुरं यामः।
So when the angels went away from them into the sky the men, the shepherds, said to one another, “Hey, let's go to Bethlehem and see this event that has taken place, that the Lord made known to us!”
16 पश्चात् ते तूर्णं व्रजित्वा मरियमं यूषफं गोशालायां शयनं बालकञ्च ददृशुः।
So they went in a hurry and located both Mary and Joseph, and the Baby lying in the manger.
17 इत्थं दृष्ट्वा बालकस्यार्थे प्रोक्तां सर्व्वकथां ते प्राचारयाञ्चक्रुः।
And having seen they spread an exact account of the saying that had been spoken to them concerning this Child.
18 ततो ये लोका मेषरक्षकाणां वदनेभ्यस्तां वार्त्तां शुश्रुवुस्ते महाश्चर्य्यं मेनिरे।
All who heard marveled at the things told them by the shepherds.
19 किन्तु मरियम् एतत्सर्व्वघटनानां तात्पर्य्यं विविच्य मनसि स्थापयामास।
As for Mary, she treasured all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 तत्पश्चाद् दूतविज्ञप्तानुरूपं श्रुत्वा दृष्ट्वा च मेषपालका ईश्वरस्य गुणानुवादं धन्यवादञ्च कुर्व्वाणाः परावृत्य ययुः।
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God over all that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
21 अथ बालकस्य त्वक्छेदनकालेऽष्टमदिवसे समुपस्थिते तस्य गर्ब्भस्थितेः पुर्व्वं स्वर्गीयदूतो यथाज्ञापयत् तदनुरूपं ते तन्नामधेयं यीशुरिति चक्रिरे।
When eight days were completed so as to circumcise Him, His name was indeed called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
22 ततः परं मूसालिखितव्यवस्थाया अनुसारेण मरियमः शुचित्वकाल उपस्थिते,
And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they took Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
23 "प्रथमजः सर्व्वः पुरुषसन्तानः परमेश्वरे समर्प्यतां," इति परमेश्वरस्य व्यवस्थया
(just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens a womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
24 यीशुं परमेश्वरे समर्पयितुम् शास्त्रीयविध्युक्तं कपोतद्वयं पारावतशावकद्वयं वा बलिं दातुं ते तं गृहीत्वा यिरूशालमम् आययुः।
and to offer a sacrifice according to what was specified in the Lord's Law, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons”.
25 यिरूशालम्पुरनिवासी शिमियोन्नामा धार्म्मिक एक आसीत् स इस्रायेलः सान्त्वनामपेक्ष्य तस्थौ किञ्च पवित्र आत्मा तस्मिन्नाविर्भूतः।
Well now, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, expectantly waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 अपरं प्रभुणा परमेश्वरेणाभिषिक्ते त्रातरि त्वया न दृष्टे त्वं न मरिष्यसीति वाक्यं पवित्रेण आत्मना तस्म प्राकथ्यत।
(It had been revealed to him repeatedly by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he saw the Lord's Messiah.)
27 अपरञ्च यदा यीशोः पिता माता च तदर्थं व्यवस्थानुरूपं कर्म्म कर्त्तुं तं मन्दिरम् आनिन्यतुस्तदा
So by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought the Child Jesus in, to do concerning Him according to the custom of the law,
28 शिमियोन् आत्मन आकर्षणेन मन्दिरमागत्य तं क्रोडे निधाय ईश्वरस्य धन्यवादं कृत्वा कथयामास, यथा,
Simeon took Him into his arms and blessed God and said:
29 हे प्रभो तव दासोयं निजवाक्यानुसारतः। इदानीन्तु सकल्याणो भवता संविसृज्यताम्।
“Sovereign, now You can release your slave in peace, according to Your word,
30 यतः सकलदेशस्य दीप्तये दीप्तिरूपकं।
because my eyes have seen Your salvation,
31 इस्रायेलीयलोकस्य महागौरवरूपकं।
which You have prepared before the face of all peoples:
32 यं त्रायकं जनानान्तु सम्मुखे त्वमजीजनः। सएव विद्यतेऽस्माकं ध्रवं नयननगोचरे॥
a light for revelation to Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.”
33 तदानीं तेनोक्ता एताः सकलाः कथाः श्रुत्वा तस्य माता यूषफ् च विस्मयं मेनाते।
And Joseph and His mother were marveling at the things being spoken concerning Him.
34 ततः परं शिमियोन् तेभ्य आशिषं दत्त्वा तन्मातरं मरियमम् उवाच, पश्य इस्रायेलो वंशमध्ये बहूनां पातनायोत्थापनाय च तथा विरोधपात्रं भवितुं, बहूनां गुप्तमनोगतानां प्रकटीकरणाय बालकोयं नियुक्तोस्ति।
Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother: “Listen, this One is appointed to bring about the fall and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that is spoken against,
35 तस्मात् तवापि प्राणाः शूलेन व्यत्स्यन्ते।
so that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed (furthermore, a sword will pass through your own soul also).”
36 अपरञ्च आशेरस्य वंशीयफिनूयेलो दुहिता हन्नाख्या अतिजरती भविष्यद्वादिन्येका या विवाहात् परं सप्त वत्सरान् पत्या सह न्यवसत् ततो विधवा भूत्वा चतुरशीतिवर्षवयःपर्य्यनतं
Also there was a prophetess Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher—she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity
37 मन्दिरे स्थित्वा प्रार्थनोपवासैर्दिवानिशम् ईश्वरम् असेवत सापि स्त्री तस्मिन् समये मन्दिरमागत्य
and having been a widow for about eighty-four years—who did not depart from the temple, serving God with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 परमेश्वरस्य धन्यवादं चकार, यिरूशालम्पुरवासिनो यावन्तो लोका मुक्तिमपेक्ष्य स्थितास्तान् यीशोर्वृत्तान्तं ज्ञापयामास।
Well she, having come up at that very moment, started praising the Lord, and kept on speaking of Him to all those in Jerusalem who were looking for redemption.
39 इत्थं परमेश्वरस्य व्यवस्थानुसारेण सर्व्वेषु कर्म्मसु कृतेषु तौ पुनश्च गालीलो नासरत्नामकं निजनगरं प्रतस्थाते।
When they had completed everything, according to the law of the Lord, they went back to Galilee, to their own town, Natsareth.
40 तत्पश्चाद् बालकः शरीरेण वृद्धिमेत्य ज्ञानेन परिपूर्ण आत्मना शक्तिमांश्च भवितुमारेभे तथा तस्मिन् ईश्वरानुग्रहो बभूव।
And the Child kept growing and being strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom; yes, the grace of God was upon Him.
41 तस्य पिता माता च प्रतिवर्षं निस्तारोत्सवसमये यिरूशालमम् अगच्छताम्।
Now every year His parents would go to Jerusalem to the feast of the Passover;
42 अपरञ्च यीशौ द्वादशवर्षवयस्के सति तौ पर्व्वसमयस्य रीत्यनुसारेण यिरूशालमं गत्वा
so when He was twelve years old they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
43 पार्व्वणं सम्पाद्य पुनरपि व्याघुय्य यातः किन्तु यीशुर्बालको यिरूशालमि तिष्ठति। यूषफ् तन्माता च तद् अविदित्वा
When they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but Joseph and His mother did not know it.
44 स सङ्गिभिः सह विद्यत एतच्च बुद्व्वा दिनैकगम्यमार्गं जग्मतुः। किन्तु शेषे ज्ञातिबन्धूनां समीपे मृगयित्वा तदुद्देेशमप्राप्य
Supposing Him to be in the caravan, they went a day's journey and then started looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 तौ पुनरपि यिरूशालमम् परावृत्यागत्य तं मृगयाञ्चक्रतुः।
Not finding Him, they returned to Jerusalem seeking Him.
46 अथ दिनत्रयात् परं पण्डितानां मध्ये तेषां कथाः शृण्वन् तत्त्वं पृच्छंश्च मन्दिरे समुपविष्टः स ताभ्यां दृष्टः।
So it happened that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
47 तदा तस्य बुद्ध्या प्रत्युत्तरैश्च सर्व्वे श्रोतारो विस्मयमापद्यन्ते।
(All who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.)
48 तादृशं दृष्ट्वा तस्य जनको जननी च चमच्चक्रतुः किञ्च तस्य माता तमवदत्, हे पुत्र, कथमावां प्रतीत्थं समाचरस्त्वम्? पश्य तव पिताहञ्च शोकाकुलौ सन्तौ त्वामन्विच्छावः स्म।
So upon seeing Him they were amazed, and His mother said to Him: “Son, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in distress.”
49 ततः सोवदत् कुतो माम् अन्वैच्छतं? पितुर्गृहे मया स्थातव्यम् एतत् किं युवाभ्यां न ज्ञायते?
So He said to them: “Why were you seeking me? Didn't you know that I must be about my Father's concerns?”
50 किन्तु तौ तस्यैतद्वाक्यस्य तात्पर्य्यं बोद्धुं नाशक्नुतां।
But they did not understand the statement that He made to them.
51 ततः परं स ताभ्यां सह नासरतं गत्वा तयोर्वशीभूतस्तस्थौ किन्तु सर्व्वा एताः कथास्तस्य माता मनसि स्थापयामास।
Then He went down with them and came to Natsareth, and continued subordinating Himself to them; His mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 अथ यीशो र्बुद्धिः शरीरञ्च तथा तस्मिन् ईश्वरस्य मानवानाञ्चानुग्रहो वर्द्धितुम् आरेभे।
And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
