Luke 2
1 And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole world should be enrolled.
Ó sì ṣe ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, àṣẹ ti ọ̀dọ̀ Kesari Augustu jáde wá pé, kí a kọ orúkọ gbogbo ayé sínú ìwé.
2 This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria.
(Èyí ni ìkọ sínú ìwé èkínní tí a ṣe nígbà tí Kirene fi jẹ baálẹ̀ Siria.)
3 And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn sì lọ láti kọ orúkọ wọn sínú ìwé, olúkúlùkù sí ìlú ara rẹ̀.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David,
Josẹfu pẹ̀lú sì gòkè láti Nasareti ni Galili, sí ìlú Dafidi ní Judea, tí à ń pè ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu; nítorí ti ìran àti ìdílé Dafidi ní í ṣe,
5 To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
láti kọ orúkọ rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú Maria aya rẹ̀ àfẹ́sọ́nà, tí oyún rẹ̀ ti tó bí.
6 And it came to pass, that when they were there, her days were accomplished, that she should be delivered.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí wọ́n wà níbẹ̀, ọjọ́ rẹ̀ pé tí òun yóò bí.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Ó sì bí àkọ́bí rẹ̀ ọmọkùnrin, ó sì fi ọ̀já wé e, ó sì tẹ́ ẹ sínú ibùjẹ ẹran; nítorí tí ààyè kò sí fún wọn nínú ilé èrò.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches over their flock.
Àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn ń bẹ tí wọ́n ń gbé ní ìlú náà, wọ́n ń ṣọ́ agbo àgùntàn wọn ní òru ní pápá tí wọ́n ń gbé.
9 And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them; and they feared with a great fear.
Angẹli Olúwa sì yọ sí wọn, ògo Olúwa sì ràn yí wọn ká, ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n gidigidi.
10 And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people:
Angẹli náà sì wí fún wọn pé, “Má bẹ̀rù: sá wò ó, mo mú ìyìnrere ayọ̀ ńlá fún yín wá, tí yóò ṣe ti ènìyàn gbogbo.
11 For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
Nítorí a ti bí Olùgbàlà fún yín lónìí ní ìlú Dafidi, tí í ṣe Kristi Olúwa.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger.
Èyí ni yóò sì ṣe àmì fún yín; ẹ̀yin yóò rí ọmọ ọwọ́ tí a fi ọ̀já wé, ó dùbúlẹ̀ ní ibùjẹ ẹran.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying:
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ogun ọ̀run sì darapọ̀ mọ́ angẹli náà ní òjijì, wọ́n ń yin Ọlọ́run, wí pé,
14 Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will.
“Ògo ni fún Ọlọ́run lókè ọ̀run, àti ní ayé àlàáfíà, ìfẹ́ inú rere sí ènìyàn.”
15 And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí àwọn angẹli náà padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn lọ sí ọ̀run, àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn náà bá ara wọn sọ pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí á lọ tààrà sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu, kí á lè rí ohun tí ó ṣẹ̀, tí Olúwa fihàn fún wa.”
16 And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
Wọ́n sì wá lọ́gán, wọ́n sì rí Maria àti Josẹfu, àti ọmọ ọwọ́ náà, ó dùbúlẹ̀ nínú ibùjẹ ẹran.
17 And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti rí i, wọ́n sọ ohun tí a ti wí fún wọn nípa ti ọmọ yìí.
18 And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.
Ẹnu sì ya gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbọ́ sí nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí a ti wí fún wọn láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn wá.
19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
Ṣùgbọ́n Maria pa gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí mọ́, ó ń rò wọ́n nínú ọkàn rẹ̀.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn sì padà lọ, wọ́n ń fi ògo fún Ọlọ́run, wọ́n sì yìn ín, nítorí ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ti gbọ́ àti tí wọ́n ti rí, bí a ti wí i fún wọn.
21 And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb.
Nígbà tí ọjọ́ mẹ́jọ sì pé láti kọ ọmọ náà nílà, wọ́n pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jesu, bí a ti sọ ọ́ tẹ́lẹ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ angẹli náà wá kí á tó lóyún rẹ̀.
22 And after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord:
Nígbà tí ọjọ́ ìwẹ̀nù Maria sì pé gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin Mose, Josẹfu àti Maria gbé Jesu wá sí Jerusalẹmu láti fi í fún Olúwa
23 As it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:
(bí a ti kọ ọ́ sínú òfin Olúwa pé, “Gbogbo ọmọ ọkùnrin tí ó ṣe àkọ́bí, òun ni a ó pè ní mímọ́ fún Olúwa”),
24 And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons:
àti láti rú ẹbọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí èyí tí a wí nínú òfin Olúwa: “Àdàbà méjì tàbí ọmọ ẹyẹlé méjì.”
25 And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Ghost was in him.
Sì kíyèsi i, ọkùnrin kan wà ní Jerusalẹmu, orúkọ rẹ̀ a máa jẹ́ Simeoni; ọkùnrin náà sì ṣe olóòtítọ́ àti olùfọkànsìn, ó ń retí ìtùnú Israẹli, Ẹ̀mí mímọ́ sì bà lé e.
26 And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
A sì ti fihàn án láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ náà wá pé, òun kì yóò rí ikú, kí ó tó rí Kristi Olúwa.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
Ó sì ti ipa Ẹ̀mí wá sínú tẹmpili. Nígbà tí àwọn òbí rẹ̀ sì gbé Jesu wá, láti ṣe fún un bí ìṣe òfin.
28 He also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:
Nígbà náà ni Simeoni gbé e ní apá rẹ̀, ó fi ìbùkún fún Ọlọ́run, ó ní:
29 Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;
“Olúwa Olódùmarè, nígbà yìí ni ó tó jọ̀wọ́ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ lọ́wọ́ lọ, ní àlàáfíà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.
30 Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,
Nítorí tí ojú mi ti rí ìgbàlà rẹ ná,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:
tí ìwọ ti pèsè sílẹ̀ níwájú ènìyàn gbogbo;
32 A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
ìmọ́lẹ̀ láti mọ́ sí àwọn aláìkọlà, àti ògo Israẹli ènìyàn rẹ̀.”
33 And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him.
Ẹnu sì ya Josẹfu àti ìyá rẹ̀ sí nǹkan tí a ń sọ sí i wọ̀nyí.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted;
Simeoni sì súre fún wọn, ó sì wí fún Maria ìyá rẹ̀ pé, “Kíyèsi i, a gbé ọmọ yìí kalẹ̀ fún ìṣubú àti ìdìde ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ní Israẹli; àti fún àmì tí a ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí;
35 And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.
(idà yóò sì gún ìwọ náà ní ọkàn pẹ̀lú) kí á lè fi ìrònú ọ̀pọ̀ ọkàn hàn.”
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; she was far advanced in years, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity.
Ẹnìkan sì ń bẹ, Anna wòlíì, ọmọbìnrin Penueli, nínú ẹ̀yà Aṣeri: ọjọ́ ogbó rẹ̀ pọ̀, ó ti bá ọkọ gbé ní ọdún méje láti ìgbà wúńdíá rẹ̀ wá;
37 And she was a widow until fourscore and four years; who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.
Ó sì ṣe opó títí ó fi di ẹni ọdún mẹ́rìnlélọ́gọ́rin, ẹni tí kò kúrò ní tẹmpili, ṣùgbọ́n ó ń fi àwẹ̀ àti àdúrà sin Ọlọ́run lọ́sàn án àti lóru.
38 Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord; and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.
Ó sì wólẹ̀ ní àkókò náà, ó sì dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run pẹ̀lú, ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó ń retí ìdáǹdè Jerusalẹmu.
39 And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti ṣe nǹkan gbogbo tán gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin Olúwa, wọ́n padà lọ sí Galili, sí Nasareti ìlú wọn.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him.
Ọmọ náà sì ń dàgbà, ó sì ń lágbára, ó sì kún fún ọgbọ́n: oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run sì ń bẹ lára rẹ̀.
41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch,
Àwọn òbí rẹ̀ a sì máa lọ sí Jerusalẹmu ní ọdọọdún sí àjọ ìrékọjá.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
Nígbà tí ó sì di ọmọ ọdún méjìlá, wọ́n gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣe àjọ náà.
43 And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not.
Nígbà tí ọjọ́ wọn sì pé bí wọ́n ti ń padà bọ̀, ọmọ náà, Jesu dúró lẹ́yìn ní Jerusalẹmu; Josẹfu àti ìyá rẹ̀ kò mọ̀.
44 And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day’s journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ṣe bí ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ èrò, wọ́n rin ìrìn ọjọ́ kan; wọ́n wá a kiri nínú àwọn ará àti àwọn ojúlùmọ̀ wọn.
45 And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.
Nígbà tí wọn kò sì rí i, wọ́n padà sí Jerusalẹmu, wọ́n ń wá a kiri.
46 And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions.
Ó sì ṣe, lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta wọ́n rí i nínú tẹmpili ó jókòó ní àárín àwọn olùkọ́ni, ó ń gbọ́ tiwọn, ó sì ń bi wọ́n léèrè.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.
Ẹnu sì ya gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ fún òye àti ìdáhùn rẹ̀.
48 And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì rí i, háà ṣe wọ́n, ìyá rẹ̀ sì bi í pé, “Ọmọ, èéṣe tí ìwọ fi ṣe wá bẹ́ẹ̀? Sá wò ó, baba rẹ̀ àti èmi ti ń fi ìbànújẹ́ wá ọ kiri.”
49 And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father’s business?
Ó sì dáhùn wí fún wọn pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń wá mi kiri? Ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ pé èmi kò lè ṣàìmá wà níbi iṣẹ́ Baba mi?”
50 And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.
Ọ̀rọ̀ tí o sọ kò sì yé wọn.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
Ó sì bá wọn sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Nasareti, sì fi ara balẹ̀ fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ìyá rẹ̀ pa gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí mọ́ nínú ọkàn rẹ̀.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men.
Jesu sì ń pọ̀ ní ọgbọ́n, sì ń dàgbà, ó sì wà ní ojúrere ní ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run àti ènìyàn.
