Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
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 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was 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 taxed, 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 Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage 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 taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
láti kọ orúkọ rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú Maria aya rẹ̀ àfẹ́sọ́nà, tí oyún rẹ̀ ti tó bí.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the 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 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 abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
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, see, the angel of the Lord came on them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
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, which shall be to all 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 to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
Nítorí a ti bí Olùgbàlà fún yín lónìí ní ìlú Dafidi, tí í ṣe Kristi Olúwa.
12 And this shall be a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying 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 host 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, good will toward men.
“Ògo ni fún Ọlọ́run lókè ọ̀run, àti ní ayé àlàáfíà, ìfẹ́ inú rere sí ènìyàn.”
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord has made known 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 found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
Wọ́n sì wá lọ́gán, wọ́n sì rí Maria àti Josẹfu, àti ọmọ ọwọ́ náà, ó dùbúlẹ̀ nínú ibùjẹ ẹran.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told 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 they that heard it wondered at those things which 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 things, and pondered 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 that they had heard and seen, as it was told to 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 when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of 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 when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought 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 that opens 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 to that which is said 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, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was on 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 it was revealed to him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
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 the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after 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 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Nígbà náà ni Simeoni gbé e ní apá rẹ̀, ó fi ìbùkún fún Ọlọ́run, ó ní:
29 Lord, now let you your servant depart in peace, according to your word:
“Olúwa Olódùmarè, nígbà yìí ni ó tó jọ̀wọ́ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ lọ́wọ́ lọ, ní àlàáfíà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ.
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
Nítorí tí ojú mi ti rí ìgbàlà rẹ ná,
31 Which you have prepared before the face of all people;

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.
ìmọ́lẹ̀ láti mọ́ sí àwọn aláìkọlà, àti ògo Israẹli ènìyàn rẹ̀.”
33 And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of 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 rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
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 (Yes, a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts 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 of a great age, and had lived with an 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 of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers 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 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
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 when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own 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 in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was on him.
Ọmọ náà sì ń dàgbà, ó sì ń lágbára, ó sì kún fún ọgbọ́n: oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run sì ń bẹ lára rẹ̀.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Àwọn òbí rẹ̀ a sì máa lọ sí Jerusalẹmu ní ọdọọdún sí àjọ ìrékọjá.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after 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 when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
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 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk 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 when they found him not, they turned back again to 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 middle of the doctors, both 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 understanding and answers.
Ẹnu sì ya gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ fún òye àti ìdáhùn rẹ̀.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Son, why have you thus dealt with us? behold, your father and I have sought you 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? knew you not 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 saying which he spoke to 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: but his mother kept all these sayings 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 increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
Jesu sì ń pọ̀ ní ọgbọ́n, sì ń dàgbà, ó sì wà ní ojúrere ní ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run àti ènìyàn.
