Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.
| تَدَنُسارینَ کُرِینِیَنامَنِ سُرِیادیشَسْیَ شاسَکے سَتِ نامَلیکھَنَں پْراریبھے۔ | 2 |
This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
| اَتو ہیتو رْنامَ لیکھِتُں سَرْوّے جَناح سْوِییَں سْوِییَں نَگَرَں جَگْمُح۔ | 3 |
And everyone went to his own town to register.
| تَدانِیں یُوشَپھْ نامَ لیکھِتُں واگْدَتَّیا سْوَبھارْیَّیا گَرْبّھَوَتْیا مَرِیَما سَہَ سْوَیَں دایُودَح سَجاتِوَںشَ اِتِ کارَنادْ گالِیلْپْرَدیشَسْیَ ناسَرَتْنَگَرادْ | 4 |
So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David.
| یِہُوداپْرَدیشَسْیَ بَیتْلیہَماکھْیَں دایُودْنَگَرَں جَگامَ۔ | 5 |
He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.
| اَنْیَچَّ تَتْرَ سْتھانے تَیوسْتِشْٹھَتوح سَتو رْمَرِیَمَح پْرَسُوتِکالَ اُپَسْتھِتی | 6 |
While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.
| سا تَں پْرَتھَمَسُتَں پْراسوشْٹَ کِنْتُ تَسْمِنْ واسَگرِہے سْتھانابھاوادْ بالَکَں وَسْتْرینَ ویشْٹَیِتْوا گوشالایاں سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔ | 7 |
And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
| اَنَنْتَرَں یے کِیَنْتو میشَپالَکاح سْوَمیشَوْرَجَرَکْشایَے تَتْپْرَدیشے سْتھِتْوا رَجَنْیاں پْرانْتَرے پْرَہَرِنَح کَرْمَّ کُرْوَّنْتِ، | 8 |
And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
| تیشاں سَمِیپَں پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دُوتَ آگَتْیوپَتَسْتھَو؛ تَدا چَتُشْپارْشْوے پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ تیجَسَح پْرَکاشِتَتْواتْ تےتِشَشَنْکِرے۔ | 9 |
Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
| تَدا سَ دُوتَ اُواچَ ما بھَیشْٹَ پَشْیَتادْیَ دایُودَح پُرے یُشْمَنِّمِتَّں تْراتا پْرَبھُح کھْرِیشْٹوجَنِشْٹَ، | 10 |
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:
| سَرْوّیشاں لوکاناں مَہانَنْدَجَنَکَمْ اِمَں مَنْگَلَورِتّانْتَں یُشْمانْ جْناپَیامِ۔ | 11 |
Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
| یُویَں (تَتْسْتھانَں گَتْوا) وَسْتْرَویشْٹِتَں تَں بالَکَں گوشالایاں شَیَنَں دْرَکْشْیَتھَ یُشْمانْ پْرَتِیدَں چِہْنَں بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 12 |
And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
| دُوتَ اِماں کَتھاں کَتھِتَوَتِ تَتْراکَسْماتْ سْوَرْگِییاح پرِتَنا آگَتْیَ کَتھامْ اِماں کَتھَیِتْویشْوَرَسْیَ گُنانَنْوَوادِشُح، یَتھا، | 13 |
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:
| سَرْوّورْدْوَّسْتھَیرِیشْوَرَسْیَ مَہِما سَمْپْرَکاشْیَتاں۔ شانْتِرْبھُویاتْ پرِتھِوْیاسْتُ سَنْتوشَشْچَ نَرانْ پْرَتِ۔۔ | 14 |
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
| تَتَح پَرَں تیشاں سَنِّدھے رْدُوتَگَنے سْوَرْگَں گَتے میشَپالَکاح پَرَسْپَرَمْ اَویچَنْ آگَچّھَتَ پْرَبھُح پَرَمیشْوَرو یاں گھَٹَناں جْناپِتَوانْ تَسْیا یاتھَرْیَں جْناتُں وَیَمَدھُنا بَیتْلیہَمْپُرَں یامَح۔ | 15 |
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
| پَشْچاتْ تے تُورْنَں وْرَجِتْوا مَرِیَمَں یُوشَپھَں گوشالایاں شَیَنَں بالَکَنْچَ دَدرِشُح۔ | 16 |
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.
| اِتّھَں درِشْٹْوا بالَکَسْیارْتھے پْروکْتاں سَرْوَّکَتھاں تے پْراچارَیانْچَکْرُح۔ | 17 |
After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.
| تَتو یے لوکا میشَرَکْشَکاناں وَدَنیبھْیَسْتاں وارْتّاں شُشْرُوُسْتے مَہاشْچَرْیَّں مینِرے۔ | 18 |
And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
| کِنْتُ مَرِیَمْ ایتَتْسَرْوَّگھَٹَناناں تاتْپَرْیَّں وِوِچْیَ مَنَسِ سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔ | 19 |
But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
| تَتْپَشْچادْ دُوتَوِجْنَپْتانُرُوپَں شْرُتْوا درِشْٹْوا چَ میشَپالَکا اِیشْوَرَسْیَ گُنانُوادَں دھَنْیَوادَنْچَ کُرْوّاناح پَراورِتْیَ یَیُح۔ | 20 |
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
| اَتھَ بالَکَسْیَ تْوَکْچھیدَنَکالےشْٹَمَدِوَسے سَمُپَسْتھِتے تَسْیَ گَرْبّھَسْتھِتیح پُرْوَّں سْوَرْگِییَدُوتو یَتھاجْناپَیَتْ تَدَنُرُوپَں تے تَنّامَدھییَں یِیشُرِتِ چَکْرِرے۔ | 21 |
When the eight days until His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He had been conceived.
| تَتَح پَرَں مُوسالِکھِتَوْیَوَسْتھایا اَنُسارینَ مَرِیَمَح شُچِتْوَکالَ اُپَسْتھِتے، | 22 |
And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
| "پْرَتھَمَجَح سَرْوَّح پُرُشَسَنْتانَح پَرَمیشْوَرے سَمَرْپْیَتاں،" اِتِ پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ وْیَوَسْتھَیا | 23 |
(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),
| یِیشُں پَرَمیشْوَرے سَمَرْپَیِتُمْ شاسْتْرِییَوِدھْیُکْتَں کَپوتَدْوَیَں پاراوَتَشاوَکَدْوَیَں وا بَلِں داتُں تے تَں گرِہِیتْوا یِرُوشالَمَمْ آیَیُح۔ | 24 |
and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
| یِرُوشالَمْپُرَنِواسِی شِمِیونّاما دھارْمِّکَ ایکَ آسِیتْ سَ اِسْراییلَح سانْتْوَنامَپیکْشْیَ تَسْتھَو کِنْچَ پَوِتْرَ آتْما تَسْمِنّاوِرْبھُوتَح۔ | 25 |
Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
| اَپَرَں پْرَبھُنا پَرَمیشْوَرینابھِشِکْتے تْراتَرِ تْوَیا نَ درِشْٹے تْوَں نَ مَرِشْیَسِیتِ واکْیَں پَوِتْرینَ آتْمَنا تَسْمَ پْراکَتھْیَتَ۔ | 26 |
The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
| اَپَرَنْچَ یَدا یِیشوح پِتا ماتا چَ تَدَرْتھَں وْیَوَسْتھانُرُوپَں کَرْمَّ کَرْتُّں تَں مَنْدِرَمْ آنِنْیَتُسْتَدا | 27 |
Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,
| شِمِیونْ آتْمَنَ آکَرْشَنینَ مَنْدِرَماگَتْیَ تَں کْروڈے نِدھایَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ دھَنْیَوادَں کرِتْوا کَتھَیاماسَ، یَتھا، | 28 |
Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
| ہے پْرَبھو تَوَ داسویَں نِجَواکْیانُسارَتَح۔ اِدانِینْتُ سَکَلْیانو بھَوَتا سَںوِسرِجْیَتامْ۔ | 29 |
“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
| یَتَح سَکَلَدیشَسْیَ دِیپْتَیے دِیپْتِرُوپَکَں۔ | 30 |
For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
| اِسْراییلِییَلوکَسْیَ مَہاگَورَوَرُوپَکَں۔ | 31 |
which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
| یَں تْرایَکَں جَنانانْتُ سَمُّکھے تْوَمَجِیجَنَح۔ سَایوَ وِدْیَتےسْماکَں دھْرَوَں نَیَنَنَگوچَرے۔۔ | 32 |
a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
| تَدانِیں تینوکْتا ایتاح سَکَلاح کَتھاح شْرُتْوا تَسْیَ ماتا یُوشَپھْ چَ وِسْمَیَں میناتے۔ | 33 |
The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
| تَتَح پَرَں شِمِیونْ تیبھْیَ آشِشَں دَتّوا تَنْماتَرَں مَرِیَمَمْ اُواچَ، پَشْیَ اِسْراییلو وَںشَمَدھْیے بَہُوناں پاتَنایوتّھاپَنایَ چَ تَتھا وِرودھَپاتْرَں بھَوِتُں، بَہُوناں گُپْتَمَنوگَتاناں پْرَکَٹِیکَرَنایَ بالَکویَں نِیُکْتوسْتِ۔ | 34 |
Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,
| تَسْماتْ تَواپِ پْراناح شُولینَ وْیَتْسْیَنْتے۔ | 35 |
so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
| اَپَرَنْچَ آشیرَسْیَ وَںشِییَپھِنُوییلو دُہِتا ہَنّاکھْیا اَتِجَرَتِی بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنْییکا یا وِواہاتْ پَرَں سَپْتَ وَتْسَرانْ پَتْیا سَہَ نْیَوَسَتْ تَتو وِدھَوا بھُوتْوا چَتُرَشِیتِوَرْشَوَیَحپَرْیَّنَتَں | 36 |
There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,
| مَنْدِرے سْتھِتْوا پْرارْتھَنوپَواسَیرْدِوانِشَمْ اِیشْوَرَمْ اَسیوَتَ ساپِ سْتْرِی تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے مَنْدِرَماگَتْیَ | 37 |
and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
| پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دھَنْیَوادَں چَکارَ، یِرُوشالَمْپُرَواسِنو یاوَنْتو لوکا مُکْتِمَپیکْشْیَ سْتھِتاسْتانْ یِیشورْورِتّانْتَں جْناپَیاماسَ۔ | 38 |
Coming forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
| اِتّھَں پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ وْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ سَرْوّیشُ کَرْمَّسُ کرِتیشُ تَو پُنَشْچَ گالِیلو ناسَرَتْنامَکَں نِجَنَگَرَں پْرَتَسْتھاتے۔ | 39 |
When Jesus’ parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
| تَتْپَشْچادْ بالَکَح شَرِیرینَ ورِدّھِمیتْیَ جْنانینَ پَرِپُورْنَ آتْمَنا شَکْتِماںشْچَ بھَوِتُماریبھے تَتھا تَسْمِنْ اِیشْوَرانُگْرَہو بَبھُووَ۔ | 40 |
And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
| تَسْیَ پِتا ماتا چَ پْرَتِوَرْشَں نِسْتاروتْسَوَسَمَیے یِرُوشالَمَمْ اَگَچّھَتامْ۔ | 41 |
Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
| اَپَرَنْچَ یِیشَو دْوادَشَوَرْشَوَیَسْکے سَتِ تَو پَرْوَّسَمَیَسْیَ رِیتْیَنُسارینَ یِرُوشالَمَں گَتْوا | 42 |
And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.
| پارْوَّنَں سَمْپادْیَ پُنَرَپِ وْیاگھُیَّ یاتَح کِنْتُ یِیشُرْبالَکو یِرُوشالَمِ تِشْٹھَتِ۔ یُوشَپھْ تَنْماتا چَ تَدْ اَوِدِتْوا | 43 |
When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed.
| سَ سَنْگِبھِح سَہَ وِدْیَتَ ایتَچَّ بُدْوّا دِنَیکَگَمْیَمارْگَں جَگْمَتُح۔ کِنْتُ شیشے جْناتِبَنْدھُوناں سَمِیپے مرِگَیِتْوا تَدُدّےشَمَپْراپْیَ | 44 |
Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.
| تَو پُنَرَپِ یِرُوشالَمَمْ پَراورِتْیاگَتْیَ تَں مرِگَیانْچَکْرَتُح۔ | 45 |
When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.
| اَتھَ دِنَتْرَیاتْ پَرَں پَنْڈِتاناں مَدھْیے تیشاں کَتھاح شرِنْوَنْ تَتّوَں پرِچّھَںشْچَ مَنْدِرے سَمُپَوِشْٹَح سَ تابھْیاں درِشْٹَح۔ | 46 |
Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
| تَدا تَسْیَ بُدّھیا پْرَتْیُتَّرَیشْچَ سَرْوّے شْروتارو وِسْمَیَماپَدْیَنْتے۔ | 47 |
And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.
| تادرِشَں درِشْٹْوا تَسْیَ جَنَکو جَنَنِی چَ چَمَچَّکْرَتُح کِنْچَ تَسْیَ ماتا تَمَوَدَتْ، ہے پُتْرَ، کَتھَماواں پْرَتِیتّھَں سَماچَرَسْتْوَمْ؟ پَشْیَ تَوَ پِتاہَنْچَ شوکاکُلَو سَنْتَو تْوامَنْوِچّھاوَح سْمَ۔ | 48 |
When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”
| تَتَح سووَدَتْ کُتو مامْ اَنْوَیچّھَتَں؟ پِتُرْگرِہے مَیا سْتھاتَوْیَمْ ایتَتْ کِں یُوابھْیاں نَ جْنایَتے؟ | 49 |
“Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”
| کِنْتُ تَو تَسْیَیتَدْواکْیَسْیَ تاتْپَرْیَّں بودّھُں ناشَکْنُتاں۔ | 50 |
But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.
| تَتَح پَرَں سَ تابھْیاں سَہَ ناسَرَتَں گَتْوا تَیورْوَشِیبھُوتَسْتَسْتھَو کِنْتُ سَرْوّا ایتاح کَتھاسْتَسْیَ ماتا مَنَسِ سْتھاپَیاماسَ۔ | 51 |
Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
| اَتھَ یِیشو رْبُدّھِح شَرِیرَنْچَ تَتھا تَسْمِنْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مانَوانانْچانُگْرَہو وَرْدّھِتُمْ آریبھے۔ | 52 |
And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
