Lukas 2
1 Eta guerta cedin egun hetan ethor baitzedin ordenança-bat Cesar Augustoren partez, scribuz iar ledin mundua oro.
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered in a census.
2 (Lehen descriptione haur eguin cedin Cyrenius Syriaco gobernadore cenean)
(This was the first census, and it took place when Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
3 Eta ioaiten ciraden guciac scributan iartera, batbedera cein bere hirirát.
So everyone went to be registered, each to his own town.
4 Igan cedin bada Ioseph-ere Galileatic, Nazaretheco hiritic, Iudeara, Dauid-en ciuitate Bethlehem deitzen denera (ceren baitzén Dauid-en etchetic eta arraçatic)
Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 Scributan iar ledinçát Maria emaztetan eman içan çayonarequin, cein baitzén içorra.
to register himself along with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
6 Eta guertha cedin hec han ciradela, compli baitzitecen haren ertzeco egunac.
While they were there, the days were fulfilled for her to give birth,
7 Eta erdi cedin bere seme lehen iayoaz, eta bandatoz trocha ceçan hura, eta eçar ceçan mangederán, ceren ezpaitzén hayendaco lekuric ostalerián.
and she gave birth to her firstborn son. Then she wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Eta ciraden comarca berean artzain campoetan ceunçanac, eta gauazco veillác bere arthaldearen gainean beguiratzen cituztenac.
In the same region there were shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 Eta huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä vstegaberic ethor cequién, eta Iaunaren gloriác argui ceçan hayén inguruän, eta icidura handiz ici citecen.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which will be for all the people.
11 Ecen Dauid-en ciuitatean iayo çaiçuela Saluadorea, cein baita Christ Iauna.
For to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 Eta haur vkanen duçue seignale, eridenen baituçue haourra bandatoz trochatua, mangederán eçarria.
This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Eta bertan Aingueruärequin eguin cedin armada celestial multzobat, laudatzen çutela Iaincoa, eta cioitela,
Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
14 Gloria ceru guciz goretan Iaincoari, eta lurrean baque, guiçonac baithara vorondate ona.
“Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth, good will among men.”
15 Eta guertha cedin, hetaric Aingueruäc cerurat ioan ciradenean, erran baitzeçaten artzainec elkarren artean, Goacen bada Bethlehemerano, eta dacussagun eguin içan den gauça haur, cein Iaunac iaquin eraci baitraucu.
When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 Eta ethor citecen lehiatuqui, eta eriden citzaten Maria eta Ioseph, eta haourtchoa mangederán eçarria.
So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger.
17 Eta ikussi vkan çutenean, publica ceçaten haourtchoaz erran içan çayena.
After seeing him, they made widely known what they had been told about the child,
18 Eta ençun vkan cituzten guciéc mirets ceçaten hæy artzainéz erran içan çaizten gaucén gainean.
and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.
19 Eta Mariac beguiratzen cituen gauça hauc guciac, bere bihotzean ehaiten cituela.
But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.
20 Eta itzul citecen artzainac, glorificatzen eta laudatzen çutela Iaincoa, ençun eta ikussi vkan cituzten gauça guciéz, erran içan cayen beçala.
Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
21 Eta complitu içan ciradenean haourtchoaren circonciditzeco çortzi egunac, orduan deithu içan da haren icena Iesus, nola deithu içan baitzén Aingueruäz, sabelean concebi cedin baino lehen.
When the eight days were completed for his circumcision, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Eta complitu içan ciradenean Mariaren purificationeco egunac Moysesen leguearen arauez, eraman ceçaten haourtchoa, Ierusalemera, Iaunari presenta lieçotençát.
When the days of their purification were completed according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary brought Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
23 (Nola baita scribatua Iaunaren Leguean, Ar vme-vncia irequiten duen gucia, saindu Iaunari deithuren çayó)
(just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”).
24 Eta eman leçatençát oblationea, Iaunaren Leguean erran denaren araura, turturela pare-bat, edo bi vsso columba vme.
They also went up to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord: “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25 Eta huná, cen guiçombat Ierusalemen Simeon deitzen cenic: eta cen guiçon haur iusto eta Iaincoaren beldur, Israeleco consolationearen beguira cegoena: eta Spiritu saindua cen haren gainean.
And behold, 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.
26 Eta denuntiatu içan çayón diuinoqui Spiritu sainduaz, etzuela herioric ikussiren, non lehen ikus ezleçan Christ Iaunarena.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 Hura bada ethor cedin Spirituaz mouituric templera: eta sartzen çutela Iesus haourra bere aita-améc, haren causaz eguin leçatencát Legueco costumaren araura:
So he came in the Spirit into the temple courts, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what was customary under the law,
28 Harc orduan har ceçan hura bere bessoetara, eta lauda ceçan Iaincoa, eta erran ceçan,
Simeon took him in his arms and blessed God, saying,
29 Iauna, orain vtziten duc eure cerbitzaria, eure hitzaren araura baquez.
“Now, Master, yoʋ are releasing yoʋr servant in peace according to yoʋr word,
30 Ecen ikussi dié ene beguiéc hire saluagarria,
for my eyes have seen yoʋr salvation,
31 Cein preparatu baituc populu gucién beguitharte aitzinean.
which yoʋ have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32 Argui Gentiley arguitzecoa, eta Israeléco hire populuaren gloriá.
a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for the glory of yoʋr people Israel.”
33 Eta haren aita eta ama miraz ceuden harçaz erraiten ciraden gaucéz.
Joseph and the child's mother were amazed at what was being said about him.
34 Eta benedica citzan Simeonec, eta erran cieçón haren ama Mariari, Huná, eçarri içan dun haur anhitzen destructionetan, eta anhitzen resurrectionetan Israelen, eta signotan ceini nehor contrastaturen baitzayo:
Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, the child's mother, “Behold, this child is appointed to bring about the falling and rising of many in Israel and to be a sign that will be spoken against,
35 Are eurorren arima-ere iraganen din ezpata batec, aguer ditecençát anhitz bihotzetaco pensamenduac.
so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce yoʋr own soul as well.”
36 Bacén prophetessabat-ere Anna deitzen cenic Phanuel-en alaba, Aser-en leinuco, cein baitzén ia adin handitacoa, eta vici içan cen senharrarequin çazpi vrthez bere virginitateaz gueroztic.
There was also a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was far advanced in days. Her husband had died seven years after they were married,
37 Eta lauroguey eta laur vrtheren inguruco alharguna celaric, etzen partitzen templetic, barurez eta orationez cerbitzatzen çuela Iaincoa gau eta egun.
and she was a widow of about eighty-four years of age. She did not depart from the temple, but served night and day with fasting and prayer.
38 Hunec-ere bada ordu berean ethorriric, laudatzen çuen Iauna, eta harçaz minço çayen redemptionearen beguira Ierusalemen ceuden guciey.
She came at that very hour and began giving praise to the Lord and speaking about the child to all who were waiting for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Eta acabatu çutenean gucia Iaunaren Leguearen araura, itzul citecen Galileara, bere Nazaretheco hirira.
When Joseph and Mary had finished everything that was required by the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
40 Eta haourtchoa handitzen cen eta spirituz fortificatzen, eta bethatzen cen sapientiaz: eta Iaincoaren gratiá cen haren gainean.
And the child grew and became strong in spirit; he was filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.
41 Eta ioaiten ciraden haren aita-amác vrthe oroz Ierusalemera Bazco bestán.
Now Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
42 Eta hamabi vrthetara heldu cenean, igan citecen hec Ierusalemera bestaco costumaren arauez:
When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
43 Eta hartaco egunac complitu ciradenean, hec itzultzen ciradela, azquen cedin Iesus haourra Ierusalemen: eta etzaquión ohart Ioseph, ez bere ama:
And when they had completed their days there and started returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But Joseph did not know it, and neither did Jesus' mother.
44 Baina vstez hura compainian cen, ioan citecen egun baten bidean: eta haren bilha çabiltzan ahaidén eta eçagunén artean.
They assumed that he was in the company of travelers, so they went a day's journey before they began looking for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Eta erideiten etzutenean, bihur citecen Ierusalemera, haren bilha çabiltzala.
When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
46 Eta guertha cedin, hirur egunen buruän eriden baitzeçaten hura templean, iarriric cegoela doctoren artean, hæy behatzen çayela eta hec interrogatzen cituela.
After three days, they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47 Eta spantatzen ciraden hura ençuten çutén guciac, haren iaquinaren eta respostuén gainean.
And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 Eta hura ikussiric spanta citecen: eta erran cieçón bere amác, Semé, cergatic horrela eguin draucuc? huná, hire aita eta ni keichuric hire bilha guiniabiltzán.
When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Child, why have yoʋ treated us like this? Behold, yoʋr father and I have been looking for yoʋ in great distress.”
49 Orduan dioste, Cergatic da ene bilha baitzinabiltzaten? etzinaquitén ecen neure Aitaren eguitecoetan occupatua behar dudala içan?
He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?”
50 Baina hec etzeçaten adi erran cerauen hitza.
But they did not understand what he said to them.
51 Orduan iauts cedin hequin, eta ethor cedin Nazarethera: eta cen hayen suiet: eta haren amac beguiratzen cituen hitz hauc gucioc bere bihotzean.
Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was obedient to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
52 Eta Iesus auançatzen cen sapientiaz eta handitzez, eta gratiaz Iaincoa baithan eta guiçonac baithan.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and men.
