1Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.
1त्यसैबेला अगस्टस सिजरले रोमको अधिनमा रहेका सबै देशहरूलाई एउटा आदेश पठाए। त्यो आदेश अनुसार जम्मै मानिसले आफ्नो नाउँ पंञ्जिकृत गराउनु पर्थ्यो।
2This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
2यो नै पहिलो पल्टको यस्तो जनगणना थियो। कुरेनियस सिरयाको राज्यपाल हुँदा यो भएको हो।
3And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city.
3जम्मै मानिसहरू आफ्नो शहरहरूमा नाउँ पंञ्जिकृत गराउन गए।
4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;
4यूसुफ पनि गालीलको नासरत शहरबाट यहूदियाको बेतलेहेम नामक शहरमा गए। बेतलेहेम शहरलाई दाऊदको शहर भनिन्थ्यो।
5to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child.
5यूसुफ पंञ्जिकरणको लागि मरियमसंगै गए किनभने मरियमसंग उसको विवाह निश्चित भइसकेको थियो। मरियम त्यसबेला गर्भवती थिईन्।
6And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.
6यूसुफ र मरियम बेतलेहेममा हुँदा नै बालक जन्मने समय भएको थियो।
7And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
7अनि तिनले जेठो पुत्र जन्माइन्। त्यसबेला धर्मशालाभित्र ठाउँ थिएन। त्यसैले तिनले आफ्नो बालकलाई लुगाहरूले बेरिन् अनि एउटा डूँडमा सुताइन।
8And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
8त्यो राती त्यस क्षेत्रमा बाहिर खेतमा केही गोठालाहरू आफ्नो भेडाहरू हेरचाह गरिरहेका थिए।
9And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
9परमप्रभुको एउटा दूत यसैबेला तिनीहरूको अघि उभिए। परमप्रभुको महिमा तिनीहरूको चारैतिर चम्किरहेको थियो। ती गोठालाहरू खुबै डराए।
10And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:
10तर त्यो स्वर्गदूतले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “डराउनु पर्दैन, किनभने म तिमीहरूलाई शुभ-समाचारहरू भन्न लागेकोछु। यसले सबै मानिसहरूलाई अत्यन्त र्हषित तुल्याउनेछ।
11for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
11किनभने आज नै दाऊदको शहरमा तिमीहरूको निम्ति एउटा मुक्तिदाताको जन्म भएको छ। उहाँ ख्रीष्ट, प्रभु हुनुन्छ।
12And this [is] the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.
12उहाँलाई तिमीहरूले यसरी चिन्नेछौः तिमीहरूले एउटा बालकलाई लुगाले बेह्रेको र डुँडमा सुतिरहेको भेट्टाउनेछौ।”
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
13त्यसपछि अचानक अनगन्ति र्स्वगिय दूतहरू पहिलो दूतसंग भेला भए। सबै दूतहरूले यसो भन्दै परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरिरहेका गरे।
14Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.
14सर्वोच्चमा परमेश्वरलाई महिमा। अनि जति मानिसहरूसंग परमेश्वर खुशी हुनुहुन्छ तिनीहरूमा शान्ति रहोस्।”
15And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
15ती स्वर्गदूतहरूले गोठालाहरूलाई छोडे अनि स्वर्गतिर प्रस्थान गरे। गोठालाहरूले आपसमा कुरा गरे, “अब हामी बेतलेहेम जाऊँ, अनि के भएको छ हेरौं जसको विषयमा परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले हामीलाई थाहा दिनु भएको छ।”
16And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
16तिनीहरू हतारहतार त्यहाँ गए अनि मरियम र यूसुफलाई भेटे अन बालक डूँडमा सुतिरहेको थियो।
17And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
17गोठालाहरूले बालकलाई देखे। तब तिनीहरूले यो बालकको विषयमा स्वर्गदूतले जे भनेका थिए सुनाए।
18And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.
18गोठालाहरूको कुरा सुनेर सबै छक्क परे।
19But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
19मरियमले यी सबै कुराहरू आफ्नै हृदयमा राखिन र ती विषयहरूमा सोचिरहिन्।
20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them.
20गोठालाहरूले तिनीहरूले देखेका र सुनेका घटनाहरूका निम्ति परमेश्वरप्रति प्रशंसा गर्दै र महिमा गाउँदै आफ्ना भेडाहरू भएको ठाँउमा फर्के। स्वर्गदूतले तिनीहरूलाई वर्णन गरे झैं सबै सत्य सावित भयो।
21And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
21जब बालक आठ दिनको भयो, उसको खतना गरियो अनि येशू नाउँ राखियो। यो त्यही नाउँ हो जुन बालक गर्भमा आउनअघि नै स्वर्गदूतले भनेका थियो।
22And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord
22मोशाको व्यवस्था अनुसार जब मरियम र येशूलाई चोख्याउने दिन आइपुग्यो तिनीहरूले बालकलाई परमप्रभु अघि समर्पण गराउन यरूशलेम लगे।
23(as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
23परमप्रभुको व्यवस्थामा यस्तो लेखिएको छः “यदि कुनै परिवारमा पहिलो सन्तान पुरुष जन्मे ऊ परमप्रभुको निम्ति पवित्र मानिन्छ।”‘
24and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
24अनि, “तिमीले एक जोडी ढुकुर अथवा एक जोडी बच्चा परेवा बलिदान स्वरूप प्रदान गर्नुपर्छ।” अनि यसकारण परमप्रभुको व्यवस्था अनुसार यो बलिदान प्रदान गर्न यरूशलेममा गए। शिमियोनले येशूलाई देखे
25And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
25शिमियोन नाउँ गरेको एकजना मानिस यरूशलेममा बस्थे। उनी भक्त र खुबै धार्मिकमानिस थिए। उनी इस्राएलको मुक्ति हेर्न प्रतीक्षा गरिरहेगा थिए अनि उनीमा पवित्र आत्मा हुनु हुन्थयो।
26And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
26परमप्रभु ख्रीष्टलाई नदेखे सम्म तिमी मर्नेछैनौ भनेर उनलाई पवित्र आत्माले भन्नु भएको थियो।
27And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law,
27आत्माले तिनलाई डोर्याउँदै मन्दिरमा आए। यहूदी नियम अनुसार जे गर्नु पर्ने थियो त्यही गर्नलाई येशूकी आमा र बाबुले बालकलाई मन्दिरमा ल्याए।
28then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
28शिमियोनले आफ्नो काखमा बालक लिए अनि परमेश्वरलाई प्रशंसा गरे अनि भनेः
29Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord, According to thy word, in peace;
29अब हे परमप्रभु, आफ्नो वचन अनुसार तपाईंको दासलाई शान्ति संग विदा दिनुहोस्।
30For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
30किनभने मेरा आँखले तपाईंको उद्धार देखेकाछन्।
31Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
31जो तपाईंले नै समस्त राष्ट्रहरूको अघि तयार पार्नुभएको हो।
32A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel.
32तपाईंको पथ प्रदर्शनमा गैरयहूदीहरूको लागी प्रकाश उनी नै हुन। उनले नै तपाईंका मानिसहरूलाई इस्राएलमा ल्याउनेछन्।”
33And his father and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him;
33उनको विषयमा शिमियोनले यस्तो कुरा गरेको देखेर येशूको आमा बाबु छक्क परे।
34and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;
34त्यसपछि शिमियोनले तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिए अनि मरियम, येशूकी आमालाई भने, “यो बालक इस्राएलमा धेरैजनको उत्थान र पतनको कारण हुनछ। उनी चिन्ह हुनेछन् र जसलाई कतिपयद्वारा अस्वीकार गरिनेछ।
35yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.
35यसकारण धेरै मानिसहरूको विचारहरू प्रकाशमा आउनेछन्। अनि अउटा तरवाले तिम्रो मुटु पनि छेडेर जानेछ”
36And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
36हन्ना, एकजना अगमवादिनी स्त्री पनि त्यहीं मन्दिरमा थिईन्। तिनी आशेर कुलको फनुएलकी छोरी थिईन। हन्ना धेरै बुढी भइसकेकी थिइन्। विवाह गरेर तिनले दाम्पत्य जीवन खालि सात र्वष मात्र बिताइन।
37and she had been a widow even unto fourscore and four years), who departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day.
37त्यसपछि तिनको लोग्ने मरेको थियो अनि तिनी विधवा भएकी थिइन् औ अहिले तिनी चौरासी र्वष पुगेकी थिइन्। हन्ना सधैं मन्दिर रहन्थि। उनी कहीं जाँदिन थिइन्। रात दिन उपावस र प्रार्थना गर्दै मन्दिरमा परमेश्वरको आराधाना र्गथिन्।
38And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
38ठीक समयमा तिनी त्यो बालकको आमा बाबुकहाँ आई पुग्नि औ परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद दिन थालिन्। ती जम्मै ज जसले यरूशलेमको उद्धारको निम्ति अपेक्षा गरिरहेका थिए तिनीहरूसंग उनको विषयमा बात गरिन्।
39And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
39यूसुफ र मरियमले परमप्रभुको व्यवस्था अनुसार सबै काम सिद्धाए अनि तिनीहरू गालीलको आफ्नै शहर नासरतमा गए।
40And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
40सानो बालक दिनप्रति दिन बढदै गए। उनी बलियो हुँदै गए अनि ज्ञानले भरिए। परमेश्वरको अनुग्रह तिनको साथ थियो।
41And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
41निस्तार चाडको बेला प्रत्येक र्वष नै येशूको आमा बाबु यरूशलेम जाने गर्थे।
42And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast;
42जब येशू बाह्र र्वष को हुनुभयो, सधैं झैं उहाँका माता पिता उहाँको साथमा त्यो भोजमा सामेल भए।
43and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not;
43जब भोज सिद्धियो तिनीहरू घर र्फकिरहेका थिए। तर बालक येशू यरूशलेममा नै बस्नु भयो। उहाँको विषयमा आमा -बाबुलाई केही थाहा भएन।
44but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance:
44तिनीहरूले सोचे कि उहाँ अन्य यात्रीहरूसंग हुनुहुन्छ, यसकारण तिनीहरू दिनभरी हिडीरहे । तब उहाँलाई आफ्नो साथी तथा आफन्तहरू माझ तिनीहरूले खोज्न लागे
45and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.
45तर यूसुफ र मरियमले उहाँलाई तिनीहरू बीचमा नदेख्ता तिनीहरू उहाँलाई खोज्न यरूशलेम फर्के।
46And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
46तीन दिनपछि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई मन्दिरमा भेटे। येशू मन्दिरमा धार्मिक शिक्षकहरूसंग तिनीहरूका कुराहरू सुन्दै र तिनीहरूलाई प्रश्न गर्दै बसिहनु भएको थियो।
47and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
47ज-जसले उहाँलाई सुने उहाँको समझ र उत्तरहरूमा छक्क परिरहेका थिए।
48And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.
48जब उहाँका आमा-बाबुले उहाँलाई भेटे तिनीहरू आश्चर्य चकित भए। उहाँकी आमाले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “पुत्र, तिमीले हामीलाई किन यसो गर्यौ? तिम्रो बाबु अनि म तिमीलाई खोज्दा साह्रै चिन्तित थियौं।”
49And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father's house?
49तब येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तपाईंहरूले मलाई किन खोजिरहनु भएको? के तपाईंहरू जान्नु हुन्न कि मेरा पिताको कार्य जहाँ हुन्छ म त्यहीं रहनु पर्छ?”
50And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
50तर तिनीहरूले येशूले उनीहरूलाई दिनु भएको उत्तरको अर्थ बुझ्न सकेनन्।
51And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all [these] sayings in her heart.
51तब येशू तिनीहरूसंगै नासरत जानु भयो। उहाँले आफ्ना आमाबाबुले भनेका सबै कुराहरू मान्नु भयो। तर उहाँकी आमाले भने अझै त्यही कुराहरूनै मनमा राखिरहेकी थिइन्।
52And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
