Luke 2

1 उन दिनों में औगूस्तुस कैसर की ओर से आज्ञा निकली, कि सारे जगत के लोगों के नाम लिखे जाएं।

2 यह पहिली नाम लिखाई उस समय हुई, जब क्विरिनियुस सूरिया का हाकिम था।

3 और सब लोग नाम लिखवाने के लिये अपने अपने नगर को गए।

4 सो यूसुफ भी इसलिये कि वह दाऊद के घराने और वंश का था, गलील के नासरत नगर से यहूदिया में दाऊद के नगर बैतलहम को गया।

5 कि अपनी मंगेतर मरियम के साथ जो गर्भवती थी नाम लिखवाए।

6 उन के वहां रहते हुए उसके जनने के दिन पूरे हुए।

7 और वह अपना पहिलौठा पुत्र जनी और उसे कपड़े में लपेटकर चरनी में रखा: क्योंकि उन के लिये सराय में जगह न थी।

8 और उस देश में कितने गड़ेरिये थे, जो रात को मैदान में रहकर अपने झुण्ड का पहरा देते थे।

9 और प्रभु का एक दूत उन के पास आ खड़ा हुआ; और प्रभु का तेज उन के चारों ओर चमका, और वे बहुत डर गए।

10 तब स्वर्गदूत ने उन से कहा, मत डरो; क्योंकि देखो मैं तुम्हें बड़े आनन्द का सुसमाचार सुनाता हूं जो सब लोगों के लिये होगा।

11 कि आज दाऊद के नगर में तुम्हारे लिये एक उद्धारकर्ता जन्मा है, और यही मसीह प्रभु है।

12 और इस का तुम्हारे लिये यह पता है, कि तुम एक बालक को कपड़े में लिपटा हुआ और चरनी में पड़ा पाओगे।

13 तब एकाएक उस स्वर्गदूत के साथ स्वर्गदूतों का दल परमेश्वर की स्तुति करते हुए और यह कहते दिखाई दिया।

14 कि आकाश में परमेश्वर की महिमा और पृथ्वी पर उन मनुष्यों में जिनसे वह प्रसन्न है शान्ति हो॥

15 जब स्वर्गदूत उन के पास से स्वर्ग को चले गए, तो गड़ेरियों ने आपस में कहा, आओ, हम बैतलहम जाकर यह बात जो हुई है, और जिसे प्रभु ने हमें बताया है, देखें।

16 और उन्होंने तुरन्त जाकर मरियम और यूसुफ को और चरनी में उस बालक को पड़ा देखा।

17 इन्हें देखकर उन्होंने वह बात जो इस बालक के विषय में उन से कही गई थी, प्रगट की।

18 और सब सुनने वालों ने उन बातों से जो गड़िरयों ने उन से कहीं आश्चर्य किया।

19 परन्तु मरियम ये सब बातें अपने मन में रखकर सोचती रही।

20 और गड़ेरिये जैसा उन से कहा गया था, वैसा ही सब सुनकर और देखकर परमेश्वर की महिमा और स्तुति करते हुए लौट गए॥

21 जब आठ दिन पूरे हुए, और उसके खतने का समय आया, तो उसका नाम यीशु रखा गया, जो स्वर्गदूत ने उसके पेट में आने से पहिले कहा था।

22 और जब मूसा की व्यवस्था के अनुसार उन के शुद्ध होने के दिन पूरे हुए तो वे उसे यरूशलेम में ले गए, कि प्रभु के सामने लाएं।

23 (जैसा कि प्रभु की व्यवस्था में लिखा है कि हर एक पहिलौठा प्रभु के लिये पवित्र ठहरेगा)।

24 और प्रभु की व्यवस्था के वचन के अनुसार पंडुकों का एक जोड़ा, या कबूतर के दो बच्चे ला कर बलिदान करें।

25 और देखो, यरूशलेम में शमौन नाम एक मनुष्य था, और वह मनुष्य धर्मी और भक्त था; और इस्राएल की शान्ति की बाट जोह रहा था, और पवित्र आत्मा उस पर था।

26 और पवित्र आत्मा से उस को चितावनी हुई थी, कि जब तक तू प्रभु के मसीह को देख ने लेगा, तक तक मृत्यु को न देखेगा।

27 और वह आत्मा के सिखाने से मन्दिर में आया; और जब माता-पिता उस बालक यीशु को भीतर लाए, कि उसके लिये व्यवस्था की रीति के अनुसार करें।

28 तो उस ने उसे अपनी गोद में लिया और परमेश्वर का धन्यवाद करके कहा,

29 हे स्वामी, अब तू अपने दास को अपने वचन के अनुसार शान्ति से विदा करता है।

30 क्योंकि मेरी आंखो ने तेरे उद्धार को देख लिया है।

31 जिसे तू ने सब देशों के लोगों के साम्हने तैयार किया है।

32 कि वह अन्य जातियों को प्रकाश देने के लिये ज्योति, और तेरे निज लोग इस्राएल की महिमा हो।

33 और उसका पिता और उस की माता इन बातों से जो उसके विषय में कही जाती थीं, आश्चर्य करते थे।

34 तब शमौन ने उन को आशीष देकर, उस की माता मरियम से कहा; देख, वह तो इस्राएल में बहुतों के गिरने, और उठने के लिये, और एक ऐसा चिन्ह होने के लिये ठहराया गया है, जिस के विरोध में बातें की जाएगीं --

35 वरन तेरा प्राण भी तलवार से वार पार छिद जाएगा-- इस से बहुत हृदयों के विचार प्रगट होंगे।

36 और अशेर के गोत्र में से हन्नाह नाम फनूएल की बेटी एक भविष्यद्वक्तिन थी: वह बहुत बूढ़ी थी, और ब्याह होने के बाद सात वर्ष अपने पति के साथ रह पाई थी।

37 वह चौरासी वर्ष से विधवा थी: और मन्दिर को नहीं छोड़ती थी पर उपवास और प्रार्थना कर करके रात-दिन उपासना किया करती थी।

38 और वह उस घड़ी वहां आकर प्रभु का धन्यवाद करने लगी, और उन सभों से, जो यरूशलेम के छुटकारे की बाट जोहते थे, उसके विषय में बातें करने लगी।

39 और जब वे प्रभु की व्यवस्था के अनुसार सब कुछ निपटा चुके तो गलील में अपने नगर नासरत को फिर चले गए॥

40 और बालक बढ़ता, और बलवन्त होता, और बुद्धि से परिपूर्ण होता गया; और परमेश्वर का अनुग्रह उस पर था।

41 उसके माता-पिता प्रति वर्ष फसह के पर्व में यरूशलेम को जाया करते थे।

42 जब वह बारह वर्ष का हुआ, तो वे पर्व की रीति के अनुसार यरूशलेम को गए।

43 और जब वे उन दिनों को पूरा करके लौटने लगे, तो वह लड़का यीशु यरूशलेम में रह गया; और यह उसके माता-पिता नहीं जानते थे।

44 वे यह समझकर, कि वह और यात्रियों के साथ होगा, एक दिन का पड़ाव निकल गए: और उसे अपने कुटुम्बियों और जान-पहचानों में ढूंढ़ने लगे।

45 पर जब नहीं मिला, तो ढूंढ़ते-ढूंढ़ते यरूशलेम को फिर लौट गए।

46 और तीन दिन के बाद उन्होंने उसे मन्दिर में उपदेशकों के बीच में बैठे, उन की सुनते और उन से प्रश्न करते हुए पाया।

47 और जितने उस की सुन रहे थे, वे सब उस की समझ और उसके उत्तरों से चकित थे।

48 तब वे उसे देखकर चकित हुए और उस की माता ने उस से कहा; हे पुत्र, तू ने हम से क्यों ऐसा व्यवहार किया? देख, तेरा पिता और मैं कुढ़ते हुए तुझे ढूंढ़ते थे।

49 उस ने उन से कहा; तुम मुझे क्यों ढूंढ़ते थे? क्या नहीं जानते थे, कि मुझे अपने पिता के भवन में होना अवश्य है?

50 परन्तु जो बात उस ने उन से कही, उन्होंने उसे नहीं समझा।

51 तब वह उन के साथ गया, और नासरत में आया, और उन के वश में रहा; और उस की माता ने ये सब बातें अपने मन में रखीं॥

52 और यीशु बुद्धि और डील-डौल में और परमेश्वर और मनुष्यों के अनुग्रह में बढ़ता गया॥

1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;

23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,

28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.

42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.

44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.

46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?

50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

Amos 3 in Tamil and English

1 ఐగుప్తుదేశమునుండి యెహోవా రప్పించిన ఇశ్రా యేలీయులారా, మిమ్మునుగూర్చియు ఆయన రప్పించిన కుటుంబమువారినందరినిగూర్చియు ఆయన సెలవిచ్చిన మాట ఆలకించుడి.
Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,

2 అదేమనగా భూమిమీది సకల వంశములలోను మిమ్మును మాత్రమే నేను ఎరిగియున్నాను గనుక మీరు చేసిన దోషక్రియలన్నిటినిబట్టి మిమ్మును శిక్షింతును.
You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

3 ​సమ్మతింపకుండ ఇద్దరు కూడి నడుతురా?ఎర దొరకక సింహము అడవిలో గర్జించునా?
Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

4 ఏమియు పట్టు కొనకుండనే కొదమ సింహము గుహలోనుండి బొబ్బ పెట్టునా?
Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

5 భూమిమీద ఒకడును ఎరపెట్టకుండ పక్షి ఉరిలో చిక్కుపడునా? ఏమియు పట్టుబడకుండ ఉరి పెట్టువాడు వదలిలేచునా?
Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?

6 ​పట్టణమందు బాకానాదము వినబడగా జనులకు భయము పుట్టకుండునా? యెహోవా చేయనిది పట్టణములో ఉపద్రవము కలుగునా?
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?

7 తన సేవకులైన ప్రవక్తలకు తాను సంకల్పించినదానిని బయలు పరచకుండ ప్రభువైన యెహోవా యేమియు చేయడు.
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

8 సింహము గర్జించెను, భయపడనివాడెవడు? ప్రభువైన యెహోవా ఆజ్ఞ ఇచ్చియున్నాడు, ప్రవచింపకుండువా డెవడు?
The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

9 అష్డోదు నగరులలో ప్రకటనచేయుడి, ఐగుప్తుదేశపు నగరులలో ప్రకటనచేయుడి; ఎట్లనగా--మీరు షోమ్రోను నకు ఎదురుగానున్న పర్వతములమీదికి కూడివచ్చి అందులో జరుగుచున్న గొప్ప అల్లరి చూడుడి; అందులో జనులు పడుచున్న బాధ కనుగొనుడి.
Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.

10 వారు నీతి క్రియలు చేయ తెలియక తమ నగరులలో బలాత్కారము చేతను దోపుడుచేతను సొమ్ము సమకూర్చుకొందురు.
For they know not to do right, saith the Lord, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

11 కాబట్టి ప్రభువైన యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చునదేమనగా శత్రువు వచ్చును, అతడు దేశమంతట సంచరించి నీ ప్రభావమును కొట్టివేయగా నీ నగరులు పాడగును.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

12 యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చునదేమనగాగొల్లవాడు సింహము నోటనుండి రెండు కాళ్లనైనను చెవి ముక్కనైనను విడిపించు నట్లుగా షోమ్రోనులో మంచములమీదను బుట్టాలువేసిన శయ్యలమీదను కూర్చుండు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు రక్షింప బడుదురు.
Thus saith the Lord; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.

13 ​ప్రభువును దేవుడును సైన్యములకధిపతియు నగు యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చునదేమనగా--నా మాట ఆల కించి యాకోబు ఇంటివారికి దానిని రూఢిగా తెలియ జేయుడి.
Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord God, the God of hosts,

14 ఇశ్రాయేలువారు చేసిన దోషములనుబట్టి నేను వారిని శిక్షించు దినమున బేతేలులోని బలిపీఠములను నేను శిక్షింతును; ఆ బలిపీఠపు కొమ్ములు తెగవేయబడి నేలరాలును.
That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Beth-el: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.

15 చలికాలపు నగరును వేసవికాలపు నగరును నేను పడగొట్టెదను, దంతపు నగరులును లయమగును, బహు నగరులు పాడగును; ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.
And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the Lord.
