Luke 2
1 It was the time when Caesar Augustus issued a decree that there should be a census of everyone in the Roman Empire.
Amo esoga, Louma hina bagade dunu ea dio amo Sisa Ogasadase, e da dunu huluane Louma soge huluane ganodini, dunu fi ilia dio huluane dedemusa: sia: i.
2 This was the first census under governor Quirinius of Syria.
(Ilia da amo dio dedesu hou degabo agoane hamoi. Louma ilegei ouligisu dunu Silia soge ganodini esalu, ea dio amo Guilainiase.)
3 So everybody went to their own city to be registered.
Amalalu, dunu huluane ilia dio dedema: ne, ilila: moilaidafa amoga gilisila afufui.
4 Joseph was descended from King David, so he left Nazareth in Galilee to go to Bethlehem, the city of David, in Judea.
Yousefe da Na: salede moilai, Ga: lili soge ganodini, amo fisili, e da Bedeleheme moilai Yudia soge ganodini, hina bagade Da: ibidi e lalelegei moilai, amoga asi. E da Da: ibidi egaga fiba: le, Bedeleheme moilaiga asi.
5 He went to register there, together with Mary, who was pledged in marriage to him and expecting a baby.
E amola ea sia: si uda Meli, ela dio dedemusa: asi. Meli da abula aguiwane esalu.
6 While they were there, the time came for her to have her baby.
Bedeleheme moilaiga esaloba, ea mano lalelegemu eso da doaga: i dagoi.
7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him up in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger because the inn had no rooms left.
Ea magobo dunu mano lalelegele, e da abulaga sosone, gebogili ha: i iasu ofodo amo ganodini ea mano golama: ne diasi. Diasu bagade ganodini golamu nabaiba: le, ela da gebo diasu ganodini golai.
8 Nearby some shepherds were spending the night out in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks.
Amo sogega, sibi ouligisu dunu da ohe gisi nasu sogega, gasia ilia sibi ouligilalebe ba: i.
9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone all around them. They were scared out of their wits!
Sibi ouligilaloba, ilia da Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu amo muagadonini misini, moiga lelebe ba: i. Gilisili Hina Gode Ea hadigi bagade ilima sisiga: beba: le, ilia bagadewane beda: gia: i.
10 “Don't be afraid!” the angel told them. “I'm here to bring you good news that will make the all the people really glad.
Be a: igele da ilima amane sia: i, “Mae beda: ma! Dawa: ma! Na da sia: ida: iwane amola hahawanedafa dilima amola osobo bagade dunu huluane ilima olelela misi.
11 The Savior has been born to you today, here in David's city. He is the Messiah, the Lord.
Wali esodafa, Da: ibidi ea moilai Bedelehemega, dilima Gaga: su dunu da lalelegei dagoi, Ea dio amo Gelesu Hina.
12 You will recognize him by this sign: you will find the child wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
Dilia amo dafawaneyale dawa: ma: ne, hogoi helele, mano dudubu abulaga sosone, gebogili ha: i iasu ofodo ganodini golai dialebe ba: sea, amo mano da Gode Ea Manodafa dilia dawa: ma.”
13 Suddenly many heavenly beings appeared, praising God, saying,
Sia: nu, hedolowane Hebeniga esalebe fi dunu bagohame gilisili misini, Godema gesami hea: le, nodone bagadewane sia: su, amane,
14 “Glory to the God of heaven, and on earth peace to those with whom he is pleased!”
“Gode Gadodafa, Ema nodone bagade sia: ma! Osobo bagadega, Gode Ea ilegei fi dunu ilima E da hahawane gala, ilia da olofosu ba: mu!”
15 After the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go to Bethlehem and see what's happened concerning these things the Lord has told us about.”
A: igele dunu da Hebene sogega bu heda: loba, sibi ouligisu dunu da gilisili sia: dasu, “Wali amo hou Hina Gode da ninima olelebeba: le, defea, ninia Bedeleheme moilaiga amo hou hogola ahoa: di.”
16 They hurried there and found Mary, Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
Ilia da hedolowane asili, hogolalu, Meli amola Yousefe amola mano dudubu gebogili ha: i iasu ofodo ganodini golai dialebe ba: i.
17 After they'd seen for themselves, they spread the news of what had happened and what they had been told about this baby.
Ba: i dagoloba, ilia da Meli amola Yousefe elama a: igele da amo mano ea hou ilima olelei, amo elama adoi.
18 All those who heard about it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.
Amogawi esalebe dunu huluane da sibi ouligisu dunu ilia sia: nababeba: le, bagadewane fofogadigi.
19 But Mary was careful to remember all the things that had happened and often thought about them.
Be Meli, amo hou ba: beba: le, ea asigi dawa: su ganodini wamowane dawa: i.
20 The shepherds went back to watching their flocks, glorifying and thanking God for all that they'd heard and seen, for it was just as they'd been told.
Sibi ouligisu dunu da a: igele ea adoi defelewane ba: i dagoiba: le, Godema nodone gesami hehea: la, ilia sibi ouligimusa: buhagi.
21 After eight days, the time came for the baby to be circumcised, and he was named Jesus. This was the name given to him by the angel before he had even been conceived.
Hi afae aligili, Yesu Ea gadofo damuni fasimu eso da doaga: beba: le, ilia da Ema Yesu dio asuli. Amo dio, Meli e da oubi hame udui esoga, a:igele da musa: ema asuli galu.
22 When the time of their purification according to the law of Moses was finished, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
Mousese ea Malei amo ganodini, uda da mano lalelegesea, e da sema foloasu hou hamomu gala. Amo ilegei esoga, Meli amola Yousefe da ela mano Hina Godema mogili gagale imunusa: , Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega oule misi.
23 as the law of the Lord states, “Every firstborn son must be dedicated to the Lord.”
Hina Gode Ea sema ganodini da agoane dedei diala, amane, “Magobo dunu mano huluane dilia Godema momogili gagale ima.”
24 There they made a sacrifice, as God's law also states, of “a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons.”
Hina Gode Ea Sema hamoma: ne sia: i defele, ela da ‘dafe’ sio aduna gobele salasu.
25 Living in Jerusalem at that time was a man called Simeon. Simeon did what was good and was very devout. He was waiting expectantly for the hope of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Amo esoha, dunu da: i ea dio amo Simione da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ganodini esalu. E da dunu ida: iwane esalu, amola e da Gode Ea hou nabawane hamosu. Olofosu da Isala: ili fi amoma misunu dawa: beba: le, e da ouesalu. Gode ea A: silibu Hadigidafa da ea dogo ganodini nabaiwane ba: i.
26 The Holy Spirit had shown him that he would not die before he saw the Lord's Messiah.
Gode ea A: silibu Hadigidafa da ema, e da mae bogole, Hina Gode Ea ilegei Mesaia ea siga ba: mu, amo olelei dagoi.
27 Following the Spirit's leading, he went to the Temple. When Jesus' parents brought in the little boy to be dedicated as required by the Law,
Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa amoga oule asiba: le, Simione da Debolo Diasu ganodini golili sa: i. Meli amola Yousefe amola ela mano sema dedei defelewane hamomusa: gini, Debolo Diasuga oule misini,
28 Simeon took Jesus in his arms, thanked God, and said,
Simione da amo mano ea loboga ouga: ne gaguli, Godema amane nodone sia: i,
29 “Lord and Master, now you can let your servant die in peace as you promised,
“Defea! Hina Gode! Dia musa: hahawane ilegele imunu sia: i, Dia da hahamoi dagoi. Amaiba: le, Di da wali Dia hawa: hamosu dunu olofoiwane bogoma: ne asunasimu da defea.
30 because I have seen for myself your salvation
Na da na siga Dia gaga: su hou ba: i dagoi.
31 which you have prepared for everyone.
Amo hou Di da dunu huluane ba: ma: ne hamoi.
32 He is a light that will show you to the nations, the glory of your people Israel.”
Amo diga: i, da Dia hanai asigi dawa: su Dia fi dunu hame (Dienadaile dunu) ilima olelemusa: misi amola Dia fidafa Isala: ili dunu ilima Hadigidafa iaha.”
33 Jesus' father and mother were shocked at what Simeon said about him.
Simione ea sia: nababeba: le, mano eda amola eme da bagadewane fofogadigi.
34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Jesus' mother Mary, “This child is destined to cause many in Israel to fall and many to rise. He is a sign from God that many will reject,
Amalalu, Simione da Gode ela hahawane fidima: ne sia: i. E da Yesu Ea eme ema amane sia: i, “Gode da amo mano ilegei dagoi. Ea hawa: hamomuba: le, Isala: ili soge ganodini, dunu bagohame da dafamu amola eno bagohame da wa: legadomu. E da Gode Ea dawa: digima: ne olelesu, agoane ba: mu. Dunu bagohame da Ema higale sia: ga gegemu.
35 revealing what they really think. For you it will feel like a sword piercing right though you.”
Amaiba: le, ninia da amo dunu ilia wamolegei asigi dawa: su huluane ba: mu. Amola di, Meli, se nabasu da dia dogo, gegesu gobiheiga sobe agoai ganumu.”
36 Anna the prophetess also lived in Jerusalem. She was the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher, and she was very old. She had been married for seven years,
Ba: la: lusu (balofede) uda didalo da: idafa hamoi da amogalu esalu, ea dio amo A: na. Amo uda da Fa: niuele ea mano, ea fi da A: sie. E da musa: dunu fili, ode fesuale ela esaloba, egoa bogole, hisu esalobawane, e lalelegei ode da84 agoane gidigi.
37 and then she had been widowed. She was eighty-four years old. She spent her time at the Temple in worship, fasting and praying.
E da Debolo Diasu ganodini, mae fisili, gasi amola eso amoga ha: i mae nawane, Godema sia: ne gadoiwane nodosu.
38 She came up to them right at that moment, and began praising God. She spoke about Jesus to all those who were looking forward to the time when God would set Jerusalem free.
Ilia da Yesu Debolo Diasuga olelelaloba, A:na da doaga: le, Godema nodone sia: i. Dunu huluane gilisili esalu (ilia da Gode da Ea gaga: su hou Yelusaleme dunu fi olelema: ne ouesalu) amo dunuma e da mano dudubu Ea hou hobea hamomu, amo olelei.
39 Once they had completed everything God's law required, they returned to their home town of Nazareth in Galilee.
Yousefe amola Meli da Gode Ea sema adoi liligi huluane hamoi dagoloba, ilia moilaidafa Na: salede, Ga: lili soge ganodini, amoga buhagi.
40 The child grew strong, and was very wise. God's blessing was with him.
Ela mano da asigilalalu. Ea asigi dawa: su da heda: lu amola Gode da E hahawane fidisu.
41 Jesus' parents traveled to Jerusalem every year for the Passover festival.
Ode huluane amoga, Yesu Ea eme amola eda ela da Baligisu Lolo manusa: , Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega heda: su.
42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they went to the festival as they always did.
Yesu E lalelegei ode fagoyale da gidigi galu, ela musa: hou defele lolo Nasu amoga heda: i.
43 When the festival had finished and it was time to return home, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem, but his parents didn't realize this.
Lolo nanu, elea moilaiga bu doaga: musa: , logoga asi. Be goihadini Yesu da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esalu. E da amogai esalu, amo eme amola eda ela da hame dawa: i galu.
44 They assumed he was with all the others traveling home. A day passed before they started looking for him among their friends and relatives.
Ela da logoga ahoana, Yesu da ilia gilisisu ganodini esalebe dawa: beba: le, ela da eso afadafa amogalawane asili, ela fi amola na: iyado dunu gilisi amo ganodini Yesu hogolalu.
45 When they couldn't find him they returned to Jerusalem to look for him there.
Hame ba: beba: le, ela da bu Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega hogomusa: asi.
46 It was three days before they found him in the Temple. He was sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
Ela da eso aduna hogolalu, E amola olelesu dunu da gilisili Debolo Diasu ganodini esalebe ba: i. E da olelesu dunu ilia sia: nabasu, amola E da ilima adole ba: su.
47 All who heard him speak were surprised by his understanding and his answers.
Ea sia: nabi dunu huluane, Ea dawa: iwane adole iasu nababeba: le, bagadewane fofogadigi.
48 His parents were totally confused when they saw what he was doing. His mother asked him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I—we've been worried sick! We've been looking everywhere for you!”
Ea ame amola eda ela mano ba: beba: le, bagadewane fofogadigi. Ea ame da Ema amane sia: i, “Nagofe! Di da anima abuliba: le se ibala: ! Dia ada ania da beda: iwane Di hogolalu.”
49 “Why is it that you were looking for me?” Jesus replied. “Didn't you know I should be here in my Father's house?”
Be Yesu da elama bu adole i, “Alia da abuliga Na hogolalula: ? Na da Na Ada Ea diasu ganodini esalu, alia da abuliga hame dawa: bela: ?”
50 But they didn't understand what he meant.
Be ela da Ea adole iasu gogoleiwane nabi.
51 Then he went back with them to Nazareth, and did what he was told. His mother kept a careful note of everything that happened.
Amaiba: le, Yesu da ele Na: salede moilaiga sigi asi. Ela sia: E da nabawane hamoi. Amo hou, Ea ame ea asigi dawa: su ganodini dawa: lalu.
52 Jesus grew steadily wiser and stronger, favored both by God and by the people.
Amalalu, Yesu Ea da: i hodo amola Ea asigi dawa: su da asigilalu. Dunu huluane amola Gode, da Ea hou hahawane ba: i.
