Luke 2
1 AND it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
He wode Roome biittan de7iya asay ubbay taybettana melanne sunthay xaafettana mela kawoy Awugisxoosi kiittis.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Hessika Qerenoosi Soore biittaa aysiya wode oosettida koyro taybuwa.
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Hessa gisho, issi issi asi ba sunthaa xaafettanaw ba yelettida biittaa bis.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David: )
Yoosefikka Dawite keethaafenne yaraappe gidida gisho, Galiila Naazirete katamaappe denddidi Dawite katama gidida Yihuda Beeteleme bis.
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Bishe, yelanaw wodey wurida I oychchi wothida, Mayraamira wolla xaafettanaw bis.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Entti yan de7ishin iw yelo wodey gakkis.
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.
Ba bayra na7aa yelasu. Curqqara xaaxada imathi aqiyason bessi dhayida gisho daran mehe muziya gonggen zin77isasu.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
He gadiyan qamma dorssa wudiya naagishe karen aqiya henthanchchoti de7oosona.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
Godaa kiitanchchoy hassayonna yidi entta matan eqqis. Godaa bonchchoy entta yuushuwan poo7is; enttika wolqqaama yashshi yayyidosona.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Shin kiitanchchoy, “Yayyofite hekko asaa ubbaas gidiya gita ufayssaa mishirachchuwa ekkada yas.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Hessika, Dawite kataman ashsheyssi hinttew hachchi yelettis. I Godaa Kiristtoosa.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Zoqale na7ay curqqara xaaxettidi gonggen zin77idayssa hintte demmana; hessika hinttew malla gido” yaagis.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Qopponna daro salo kiitanchchoti kiitanchchuwura issife qonccidi,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
“Bonchchoy Xoossaas dhoqqa saluwan, saroy biitta bolla Xoossay dosiya asaas gido” yaagidi galatidosona.
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 unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
Kiitanchchoti enttafe shaakettidi saluwa keyidaappe guye henthanchchoti, “Ane Goday nuus qonccisidabaanne hanidabaa be7anaw Beeteleme boos” yaagidosona.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
Enttika ellesidi bidosona. Mayraamo, Yoosefanne zoqale na7aa gonggen zin77idayssa be7idosona.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
Be7i simmidi na7abaa enttaw odettoyssa, qonccisidi he bessan de7iya asaas markkattidosona.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Hessa si7ida ubbay henthanchchoti odidayssan malaalettidosona.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Mayraama hanidabaa ubbaa ba wozanan qoppashe de7asu.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Henthanchchoti enttaw odettidayssada hanin be7idosona. Hessa gisho, bantta si7idabaasinne be7idaba ubbaas Xoossaa bonchchishenne galatishe simmidosona.
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.
Hosppuntha qamman, qaxxaro wodey gakkin, I qanthatanaappe sinthe kiitanchchoy wothida sunthan Yesuusa geetettis.
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;
Muse woga mela entta geeshshatetha wodey polettidaappe guye Yoosefaranne Mayraamira yooga na7aa bantta Godaas immanaw Yerusalaame bidosona.
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
Hessika, Godaa wogan, “Adde gidida bayra na7i ubbay Godaas dummattidayssa gido” geetettidi xaafettidayssa polanaassa.
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.
Qassi Godaa wogan, nam77u kuraachcho woykko holle yarshshanaw efidosona.
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 upon him.
He wode geeshshinne ammanora mino gidida Simoona geetettiya asi Yerusalaamen de7ees. I Isra7eeleta atotethaa naagishe de7ees. Geeshsha Ayyaanaykka iya bolla de7ees.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Qassi Kiristtoosa be7onna hayqqonnayssa Geeshsha Ayyaanay iyaw qonccisin eridi de7ees.
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,
I he gallas Ayyaanay kaalethin Xoossa Keethi bis. Na7aa aayeranne aawara wogaa polanaw yooga na7aa Yesuusa ekkidi gelida wode,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simooni mokki ekkidi na7aa idimmidi,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
“Godaw ne taw gelida qaala mela, ha77i ne aylliya saron moyza.
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Ta ayfey asaa ubbaa sinthan ne giigisida,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
ne ashuwa be7is.
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Hessika kawotethata ubbaas, Xoossaa ogiya qonccisiya poo7o, ne asaa Isra7eeleskka bonchcho” yaagidi Xoossaa galatis.
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
Yoosefaranne Mayraamira iyaw odettidaban malaalettidosona.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto 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;
Simooni entta anjjis. Aaye Mayraamikko, “Hekko daro asaa wozanaa qofay qonccana mela, Isra7eelen de7iya darotas entta kunddethaasinne dendduwas Xoossan doorettis.
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Qassi eqetteyssatas malla gidana. Ne shemppuwarakka qassi mashshi aadhdhana” yaagis.
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;
Qassi Aseere yaraappe gidida Faanu7ela na7iya Haanna geetettiya nabey de7awusu. Iyakka daro cimasu. Iya ba koyro azinaara laappun laythi de7asu.
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.
I azinay hayqqin hosppun tammanne oyddu laythi gidana gakkanaw qammanne gallas pacey baynna woosaninne xooman Xoossa Keethan haggaazasu.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
Iya he saatiyan bada Xoossaa galatasu; Yerusalaame wozetethaa naagiya ubbaas yooga na7abaa markkattasu.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Yoosefaranne Mayraamira Godaa higgiyan kiitettida woga ubbaa polidaappe guye Galiila biittan de7iya bantta katama Naazirete simmidosona.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Na7ay diccishenne minnishe bis. Cinccatethan kumis; Xoossaa aadho keehatethay iya bolla de7ees.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Yoosefaranne Mayraamira Faasikka Baale bonchchanaw laythan laythan Yerusalaame boosona.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
Yesuusas tammanne nam77u laythi gidiya wode kase meezetidayssada baaliya bonchchanaw bidosona.
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.
Baaliya bonchchidaappe guye soo simmiya wode na7ay Yesuusi Yerusalaamen attis. Shin Yoosefaranne Mayraamira I Yerusalaamen attoyssa eribookkona.
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.
I soo simmiya asaara wolla de7iya daanin entti issi gallasa oge bidosona. I baynnayssa eridaappe guye bantta dabbotanne laggeta matan koyidosona.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
I yan dhayin koyishe guye Yerusalaame gakkanaw bidosona.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
Heedzu gallasappe guye Xoossa Keethan asttamaareta giddon uttidi enttabaa si7ishenne entta oychchishe de7ishin demmidosona.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Iya si7iya ubbay iya akeekaninne zaaruwan malaalettidosona.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
Soo asay iya demmida wode malaalettidosona. Iya aayiyakka, “Ta na7aw, ays nuna hayssada oothadii? Ne aawaranne taara nena koyishe un77ettida” yaagasu.
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
Yesuusi enttako, “Tana ays koyeetii? Ta, ta aawa keethan daanaw besseyssa erekketii” yaagis.
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
Shin I enttako gidabaa entti akeekibookkona.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Hessafe guye, enttara issife Naazirete katama bis. Enttaw kiitettishe de7is. Iya aayiya he ubbaa ba wozanan wothada naagasu.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Yesuusi, cinccatethan, geesaninne teematethan Xoossaa sinthaninne asa sinthan diccis.
