Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us,
Namoonni baayʼeen seenaa wantoota nu gidduutti raawwatame sanaa barreessuu yaalaniiru;
2 as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us,
kunis akka warri jalqabaa kaasanii ijaan arganii fi tajaajiltoota dubbichaa turan sun nutti dabarsanii kennanitti.
3 it has seemed good to me also, accurately acquainted from the origin with all things, to write to thee with method, most excellent Theophilus,
Kanaafuu yaa Tewofilos kabajamaa, anis jalqabumaa kaasee waan hundumaa sirriitti ergan qoradhee booddee seenaa sana wal duraa duubaan siif barreessuun waan gaarii natti fakkaateera.
4 that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed.
Kunis akka wanni ati baratte sun dhugaa taʼe akka beektuuf.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
Bara Heroodis mootii Yihuudaa turetti ramaddii lubummaa Abiyaa keessaa luba Zakkaariyaas jedhamu tokkotu ture; niitiin isaa Elsaabeexis sanyii Aroon.
6 And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Lamaan isaanii iyyuu ajajaa fi seera Gooftaa hunda mudaa malee eeguudhaan fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeeltota turan.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
Garuu Elsaabeex waan dhabduu turteef ijoollee hin qaban ture; lamaan isaanii iyyuu dulloomanii turan.
8 And it came to pass, as he fulfilled his priestly service before God in the order of his course,
Zakkaariyaasis dabareen garee isaa geenyaan utuu fuula Waaqaa duratti tajaajila lubummaa isaa kennaa jiruu,
9 it fell to him by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
akkuma duudhaa lubummaatti akka mana qulqullummaa Gooftaa seenee ixaana aarsuuf ixaadhaan filatame.
10 And all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
Yeroo ixaanni aarfamuttis namoonni baayʼeen alatti kadhachaa turan.
11 And an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
Ergamaan Gooftaas iddoo aarsaa ixaanaatiin mirga dhaabatee Zakkaariyaasitti mulʼate.
12 And Zacharias was troubled, seeing [him], and fear fell upon him.
Zakkaariyaasis yommuu isa argetti ni rifate; sodaanis isa qabate.
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
Ergamaan sun garuu akkana isaan jedhe; “Yaa Zakkaariyaas, hin sodaatin; kadhannaan kee dhagaʼameera. Niitiin kee Elsaabeex ilma siif deessi; atis maqaa isaa Yohannis jedhii moggaasi.
14 And he shall be to thee joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Ati ilillee fi gammachuu ni qabaatta; namoonni baayʼeenis dhalachuu isaatti ni gammadu;
15 For he shall be great before [the] Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with [the] Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
inni fuula Gooftaa duratti guddaa taʼaatii. Daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu gonkumaa dhuguu hin qabu; utuma garaa haadha isaa keessa jiruus Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ni guutama.
16 And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to [the] Lord their God.
Saba Israaʼel keessaas namoota baayʼee gara Gooftaa, gara Waaqa isaaniitti ni deebisa.
17 And he shall go before him in [the] spirit and power of Elias, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to [the] thoughts of just [men], to make ready for [the] Lord a prepared people.
Innis saba Gooftaaf qophaaʼe tokko kurfeessuuf jedhee garaa abbootii gara ijoollee isaaniitti, warra hin ajajamne immoo gara ogummaa qajeeltotaatti deebisuuf hafuuraa fi humna Eeliyaasiin fuula Gooftaa dura ni deema.”
18 And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?
Zakkaariyaasis, “Ani akkamittin kana beeka? Ani dulloomeera; umuriin niitii kootiis deemee jira” jedhee ergamaa sana gaafate.
19 And the angel answering, said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand before God, and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to bring these glad tidings to thee;
Ergamaan sunis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani Gabriʼeel isa fuula Waaqaa dura dhaabatuu dha; anis sitti dubbachuu fi oduu gammachiisaa kana sitti himuuf ergameera.
20 and behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because thou hast not believed my words, the which shall be fulfilled in their time.
Kunoo, ati sababii dubbii koo isa yeroo isaatti mirkanaaʼu hin amaniniif hamma gaafa wanni kun taʼuutti ni duudda; dubbachuus hin dandeessu.”
21 And the people were awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying in the temple.
Uummannis yeroo sana sababii Zakkaariyaas yeroo akkas dheeratu mana qulqullummaa keessa tureef dinqifachaa isa eegaa ture.
22 But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they recognised that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, and continued dumb.
Garuu Zakkaariyaas yommuu gad baʼetti waan isaanitti dubbachuu hin dandaʼiiniif isaan akka inni mana qulqullummaa keessatti mulʼata wayii arge hubatan; innis mallattoon isaanitti himaa ture malee dubbachuu hin dandeenye.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, he departed to his house.
Innis yommuu yeroon tajaajila isaa raawwatetti gara mana isaatti deebiʼe.
24 Now after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Ergasii niitiin isaa Elsaabeex ulfooftee hamma jiʼa shaniitti manaa hin baane.
25 Thus has [the] Lord done to me in [these] days in which he looked upon [me] to take away my reproach among men.
Isheenis, “Gooftaan salphina namoota gidduutti narra ture narraa kaasuuf jedhee guyyaa arjummaan na yaadatetti waan kana naa godhe” jette.
26 But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which [the] name [was] Nazareth,
Jiʼa jaʼaffaattis Gabriʼeel Ergamichi Waaqa biraa gara magaalaa Naazreeti ishee Galiilaa keessatti argamtuutti ergame;
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
innis gara durba namichi sanyii Daawit irraa dhalate kan maqaan isaa Yoosef jedhamu tokkoof kaadhimamtee dhufe. Maqaan durba qulqullittii sanaas Maariyaam ture.
28 And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, [thou] favoured one! the Lord [is] with thee: [blessed art thou amongst women].
Ergamaan Waaqaa sunis gara ishee dhaqee, “Yaa ishee surraa argatte; nagaan siif haa taʼu! Gooftaan si wajjin jira” jedhe.
29 But she, [seeing] [the angel], was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.
Maariyaam garuu dubbii ergamaa sanaatiin akka malee jeeqamtee, “Kun nagaa akkamiitii?” jettee yaadde.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
Ergamichi garuu akkana isheedhaan jedhe; “Yaa Maariyaam, hin sodaatin; ati Waaqa biraa surraa argatteertaatii.
31 and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
Kunoo ni ulfoofta; Ilmas ni deessa; maqaa isaas Yesuus jettee moggaafta.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called Son of [the] Highest; and [the] Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father;
Innis guddaa ni taʼa; Ilma Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii jedhamees ni waamama. Waaqni Gooftaanis teessoo Abbaa isaa Daawit ni kennaaf;
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for the ages, and of his kingdom there shall not be an end. (aiōn g165)
inni mana Yaaqoob irratti bara baraan ni moʼa; mootummaan isaas dhuma hin qabu.” (aiōn g165)
34 But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Maariyaamis, “Ani durba; yoos wanni kun akkamitti taʼuu dandaʼa ree?” jettee ergamaa sana gaafatte.
35 And the angel answering said to her, [The] Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of [the] Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God.
Ergamaan sunis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Hafuurri Qulqulluun sirra buʼa; humni Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis si golbooba. Kanaaf inni qulqulluun dhalatu sun Ilma Waaqaa ni jedhama.
36 And behold, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren:
Kunoo, firri kee Elsaabeexi iyyuu dulluma ishee keessa ilma ulfoofteerti; isheen dhabduu jedhamaa turte sun jiʼa jaʼaffaa qabatteerti.
37 for nothing shall be impossible with God.
Wanni Waaqaaf hin dandaʼamne hin jiruutii.”
38 And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of [the] Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Maariyaamis, “Kunoo, ani garbittii Gooftaa ti. Akkuma ati dubbatte naaf haa taʼu” jetteen. Ergamichis ishee dhiisee deeme.
39 And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,
Yeroo sana Maariyaam kaatee ariitiidhaan gara magaalaa baddaa biyya Yihuudaa tokkoo dhaqxe.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
Isheenis mana Zakkaariyaas seentee Elsaabeexin nagaa gaafatte.
41 And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with [the] Holy Spirit,
Elsaabeexis yommuu nagaa Maariyaam dhageessetti mucaan sun gadameessa ishee keessa uʼutaale. Elsaabeexis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ni guutamte.
42 and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed [art] thou amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb.
Isheenis sagalee ishee ol fudhattee iyyitee akkana jette; “Ati dubartoota keessaa eebbifamtuu dha; mucaan ati deessus eebbifamaa dha.
43 And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Garuu akka haati Gooftaa koo gara koo dhuftuuf arjummaan akkanaa akkamitti naa godhame?
44 For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb.
Kunoo, akkuma sagaleen nagaa keetii gurra koo seeneen ulfi gadameessa koo keessa jiru gammachuun utaaleera.
45 And blessed [is] she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from [the] Lord.
Wanni Gooftaan isheetti dubbate akka raawwatamu kan amante isheen eebbifamtuu dha!”
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
Maariyaamis akkana jette: “Lubbuun koo Gooftaadhaaf ulfina kenniti;
47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
hafuurri koos fayyisaa koo Waaqatti ni gammada;
48 For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
inni salphina garbittii isaa argeeraatii. Kunoo ammaa jalqabee dhaloonni hundinuu eebbifamtuu naan jedha;
49 For the Mighty One has done to me great things, and holy [is] his name;
Inni humna qabeessi sun waan guddaa naa godheeraatii; maqaan isaa qulqulluu dha.
50 and his mercy [is] to generations and generations to them that fear him.
Araarri isaas warra isa sodaataniif dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti itti fufa.
51 He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty [ones] in the thought of their heart.
Inni irree isaatiin hojiiwwan gurguddaa hojjeteera; of tuultotas yaada garaa isaaniitiin bittinneesseera.
52 He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly.
Bulchitoota teessoo isaanii irraa buuseera; gad of qabeeyyii garuu ol kaaseera.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty.
Warra beelaʼan waan gaariidhaan quufseera; sooreyyii garuu harka duwwaa deebiseera.
54 He has helped Israel his servant, in order to remember mercy,
Inni araara qabeessa taʼuu isaa yaadachaa garbicha isaa Israaʼelin gargaareera;
kunis akkuma inni abbootii keenyaaf, Abrahaamii fi sanyii isaatiif bara baraan waadaa galetti.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house.
Maariyaamis gara jiʼa sadii Elsaabeexi bira turtee gara mana ofii isheetti deebite.
57 But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son.
Elsaabeexi yeroon daʼumsa ishee geenyaan ilma deesse.
58 And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that [the] Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
Olloonni isheetii fi firoonni ishee akka Gooftaan araara guddaa isheef godhe dhagaʼanii ishee wajjin gammadan.
59 And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias.
Isaanis guyyaa saddeettaffaatti daaʼima sana dhagna qabuu dhufan; Zakkaariyaas jedhaniis maqaa abbaa isaatiin isa moggaasuu fedhan.
60 And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John.
Haati isaa garuu, “Lakkii! Inni Yohannis jedhamee waamamuu qaba” jette.
61 And they said to her, There is no one among thy kinsfolk who is called by this name.
Isaanis, “Firoota kee keessa namni maqaa akkanaa qabu tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedhaniin.
62 And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called.
Namoonni sunis akka Zakkaariyaas eenyu jedhee daaʼima sana waamuu barbaadu beekuuf jedhanii mallattoon isa gaafatan.
63 And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.
Innis gabatee irratti barreessu kadhatee, “Maqaan isaa Yohannis” jedhee barreesse; hundi isaaniis ni dinqifatan.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.
Yommusuma afaan isaa banamee arrabni isaa hiikame; innis Waaqa galateeffachuudhaan dubbachuu jalqabe.
65 And fear came upon all who dwelt round about them; and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these things were the subject of conversation.
Olloonni isaanii hundinuu sodaadhaan guutaman; wanni kunis baddaa biyya Yihuudaa hunda keessatti odeeffame.
66 And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? And [the] Lord's hand was with him.
Warri kana dhagaʼan hundinuus, “Yoos daaʼimni kun nama akkamii taʼinna laata?” jedhanii garaa isaaniitti dinqifatan. Harki Gooftaa isa wajjin tureetii.
67 And Zacharias his father was filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Zakkaariyaas abbaan Yohannis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutamee akkana jedhees raajii dubbate:
68 Blessed be [the] Lord the God of Israel, because he has visited and wrought redemption for his people,
“Sababii dhufee saba isaa fureef Gooftaan, Waaqni Israaʼel haa eebbifamu.
69 and raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of David his servant;
Inni mana garbicha isaa mana Daawit keessatti gaanfa fayyinaa nuuf kaaseera;
70 as he spoke by [the] mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began; (aiōn g165)
akkuma afaan raajota isaa qulqulloota duriitiin dubbatetti (aiōn g165)
71 deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;
diinota keenya jalaa, harka warra nu jibban hundumaa keessaas nu baasuuf jedhee
72 to fulfil mercy with our fathers and remember his holy covenant,
araara abbootii keenyaaf waadaa gale sana raawwachuudhaaf, kakuu isaa qulqulluu,
73 [the] oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
inni abbaa keenya Abrahaamiif kakate yaadachuudhaaf,
74 to give us, that, saved out of the hand of our enemies, we should serve him without fear
harka diinota keenyaa keessaa nu baasuudhaaf, akka nu sodaa malee isa tajaajillu nu dandeessisuudhaaf,
75 in piety and righteousness before him all our days.
akka nu bara jireenya keenyaa guutuu qulqullinaa fi qajeelinaan, fuula isaa duratti tajaajilluuf waan kana godhe.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called [the] prophet of [the] Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of [the] Lord to make ready his ways;
“Yaa mucaa ko, ati raajii Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ni jedhamta; ati karaa isaa qopheessuuf fuula Gooftaa dura ni deemtaatii;
77 to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by [the] remission of their sins
kunis akka ati dhiifama cubbuu argachuu isaaniitiin beekumsa fayyinaa saba isaatiif kennituuf;
78 on account of [the] bowels of mercy of our God; wherein [the] dayspring from on high has visited us,
sababii araara Waaqa keenyaa kan gara laafinaan guutame kan bariin fayyinaa samii irraa ittiin nuu bariʼuu,
79 to shine upon them who were sitting in darkness and in [the] shadow of death, to guide our feet into [the] way of peace.
warra dukkana keessa, gaaddidduu duʼaa jala jiraniif akka ifa kennuuf; miilla keenyas karaa nagaa irra deemsisuuf.”
80 — And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.
Mucichis guddatee hafuuraan jabaachaa deeme; hamma guyyaa saba Israaʼelitti mulʼateettis gammoojjii keessa jiraate.
