Luke 2:8-
अनि त्यही इलाकामा राती आफ्नो बगालको हेरचाह गर्दै बारीमा बसिरहेका गोठालाहरू थिए ।अनि हेर, परमप्रभुका दूत तिनीहरूकहाँ आए, र परमप्रभुको तेज तिनीहरूको वरिपरि चम्क्यो; र तिनीहरू साह्रै डराए ।अनि ती स्वर्गदूतले तिनीहरूलाई भने: “नडराओ; किनभने हेर, म तिमीहरूलाई बड़ो आनन्दको शुभ समाचार सुनाउँछु, जो सबै मानिसहरूका निम्ति हुनेछ;किनकि आज तिमीहरूका निम्ति दाऊदको शहरमा एकजना मुक्तिदाता जन्मिनुभएको छ, जो ‘ख्रीष्ट’ प्रभु हुनुहुन्छ ।अनि तिमीहरूका निम्ति चिन्ह यो हुनेछ: तिमीहरूले लपेट्ने लुगाहरूमा बेरिएको बालकलाई डुँड़मा सुतिरहेको भेट्टाउनेछौ ।”अनि एक्कासि ती स्वर्गदूतको साथमा यसो भन्दै परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरिरहेको स्वर्गीय सेनाको एउटा भीड़ देखा पर्यो:
“परमधाममा परमेश्वरलाई महिमा र पृथ्वीमा शान्ति, मानिसहरूप्रति शुभेच्छा!”
अनि यस्तो भयो – स्वर्गदूतहरू तिनीहरूबाट स्वर्गमा गइसकेपछि ती गोठालाहरूले आपसमा भने: “लौ, अब हामी बेतलेहेमसम्म जाऔं, र यो हुन आएको कुरा हेरौं, जसको विषयमा परमप्रभुले हामीलाई थाह दिनुभएको छ ।”अनि तिनीहरू हतार-हतार आए, अनि तिनीहरूले मरियम, यूसुफ र डुँड़मा सुतिरहेका बालकलाई भेट्टाए ।अनि यो देखेपछि त्यस बालकको विषयमा तिनीहरूलाई बताइएको कुरा तिनीहरूले चारैतिर सुनाए ।अनि सुन्नेहरू सबैले गोठालाहरूद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई बताइएका ती कुराहरूमा अचम्म माने ।
अनि तिमीहरूका निम्ति चिन्ह यो हुनेछ: तिमीहरूले लपेट्ने लुगाहरूमा बेरिएको बालकलाई डुँड़मा सुतिरहेको भेट्टाउनेछौ ।”अनि एक्कासि ती स्वर्गदूतको साथमा यसो भन्दै परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरिरहेको स्वर्गीय सेनाको एउटा भीड़ देखा पर्यो:

परमेश्वर हामीकहाँ आउनुभयो
परमेश्वर हामीकहाँ आउनुभयो
डराउन पर्दैन किनकि परमेश्वरले आनन्दको सन्देश पठाउनुभयो
मानवजातीप्रति शुभेच्छा परमेश्वरबाट आएको छ
गोठालाहरू हेर्न गए
गोठालाहरू हेर्न गए
उनीहरू परमेश्वरको सन्देशको बारेमा आझै बुझ्न चाहे
परमेश्वरको कुरा सत्य छ भनेर उनीहरूले देखेपछि अरूहरूलाई सुनाउन थाले
सुनेकाहरूले अचम्म माने
सुनेकाहरूले अचम्म माने
उनीहरूले देखेका छैनन तर साक्षीहरूबाट सुनेका छन्
उनीहरूले यी कुराहरूको बारेमा सोच्न थाले
आज म तपाईलाई यही कुरा भन्न चाहन्छु
येशू आउनुभएको छ किनभने उहाँले तपाईलाई आशिष ल्याउन चाहनुभयो
आज विश्वास गर्न पर्दैन तर जे-जति तपाईले सुन्नुभएको छ त्यसलाई बिर्सन हुँदैन
तर त्यसको बारेमा सोचिरहनुपर्छ र सोधपुछ गरिरहनुपर्छ
