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 registered.
| ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܢܦܩ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܡܢ ܐܓܘܤܛܘܤ ܩܤܪ ܕܢܬܟܬܒ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܘܚܕܢܗ |
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
| ܗܕܐ ܡܟܬܒܢܘܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܗܓܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܘܪܝܢܘܤ ܒܤܘܪܝܐ |
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
| ܘܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܕܢܬܟܬܒ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ |
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,
| ܤܠܩ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܝܘܤܦ ܡܢ ܢܨܪܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܠܝܗܘܕ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܒܝܬ ܠܚܡ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܗ ܘܡܢ ܫܪܒܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ |
5 to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
| ܥܡ ܡܪܝܡ ܡܟܝܪܬܗ ܟܕ ܒܛܢܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܢܬܟܬܒ |
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
| ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܬܡܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܝܘܡܬܗ ܕܬܐܠܕ |
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swathing-clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
| ܘܝܠܕܬ ܒܪܗ ܒܘܟܪܐ ܘܟܪܟܬܗ ܒܥܙܪܘܪܐ ܘܐܪܡܝܬܗ ܒܐܘܪܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܫܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ |
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
| ܪܥܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܕܫܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܬܡܢ ܘܢܛܪܝܢ ܡܛܪܬܐ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܥܠ ܡܪܥܝܬܗܘܢ |
9 And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.
| ܘܗܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܢܗܪܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ |
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not; for lo! I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to the whole people;
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܠܡܐ |
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
| ܐܬܝܠܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܦܪܘܩܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ |
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
| ܘܗܕܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܬܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܘܠܐ ܕܟܪܝܟ ܒܥܙܪܘܪܐ ܘܤܝܡ ܒܐܘܪܝܐ |
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
| ܘܡܢ ܫܠܝ ܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܥܡ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܚܝܠܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ |
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
| ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܡܪܘܡܐ ܘܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܘܤܒܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܠܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ |
15 And it came to pass, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said one to another, Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see that which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.
| ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܐܙܠܘ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܡܠܠܘ ܪܥܘܬܐ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܢܪܕܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܠܚܡ ܘܢܚܙܐ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܗܘܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܘܕܥ ܠܢ |
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
| ܘܐܬܘ ܡܤܪܗܒܐܝܬ ܘܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܘܠܝܘܤܦ ܘܠܥܘܠܐ ܕܤܝܡ ܒܐܘܪܝܐ |
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
| ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܐܘܕܥܘ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܬܡܠܠܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܛܠܝܐ |
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
| ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܡܠܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܪܥܘܬܐ |
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
| ܡܪܝܡ ܕܝܢ ܢܛܪܐ ܗܘܬ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܡܦܚܡܐ ܒܠܒܗ |
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
| ܘܗܦܟܘ ܪܥܘܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܟܕ ܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܘܡܗܠܠܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܕܚܙܘ ܘܫܡܥܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܬܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ |
21 And when eight days were completed for him to be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
| ܘܟܕ ܡܠܘ ܬܡܢܝܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܕܢܬܓܙܪ ܛܠܝܐ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܫܡܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܬܩܪܝ ܡܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܩܕܡ ܕܢܬܒܛܢ ܒܟܪܤܐ |
22 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
| ܘܟܕ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܬܕܟܝܬܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܐܤܩܘܗܝ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܢܩܝܡܘܢܝܗܝ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ |
23 as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
| ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܟܠ ܕܟܪܐ ܦܬܚ ܡܪܒܥܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ |
24 and to offer a sacrifice, according to what is directed in the law of the Lord: “A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.”
| ܘܕܢܬܠܘܢ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܝܪ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܙܘܓܐ ܕܫܘܦܢܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܬܪܝܢ ܦܪܘܓܐ ܕܝܘܢܐ |
25 And lo! there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and he was a righteous and devout man, waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him;
| ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܟܐܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܘܙܕܝܩ ܘܡܤܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܘܝܐܗ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ |
26 and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
| ܘܐܡܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܙܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܠܡܫܝܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ |
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
| ܗܘ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܟܕ ܡܥܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܛܠܝܐ ܕܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܚܠܦܘܗܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܦܩܝܕ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ |
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
| ܩܒܠܗ ܥܠ ܕܪܥܘܗܝ ܘܒܪܟ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪ |
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
| ܡܟܝܠ ܫܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܗ ܠܥܒܕܟ ܡܪܝ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܬܟ ܒܫܠܡܐ |
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
| ܕܗܐ ܚܙܝ ܥܝܢܝ ܚܢܢܟ |
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
| ܗܘ ܕܛܝܒܬ ܒܦܪܨܘܦܐ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܡܘܬܐ |
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
| ܢܘܗܪܐ ܠܓܠܝܢܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܘܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܥܡܟ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ |
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
| ܝܘܤܦ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܡܗ ܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܡܠܠܢ ܗܘܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ |
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that will be spoken against; —
| ܘܒܪܟ ܐܢܘܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܡܪܝܡ ܐܡܗ ܗܐ ܗܢܐ ܤܝܡ ܠܡܦܘܠܬܐ ܘܠܩܝܡܐ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܘܠܐܬܐ ܕܚܪܝܢܐ |
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
| ܘܒܢܦܫܟܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܠܟܝ ܬܥܒܪ ܪܘܡܚܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܓܠܝܢ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܕܠܒܘܬܐ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ |
36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel: of the tribe of Asher; she was of great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
| ܘܚܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܒܝܬܐ ܒܪܬܗ ܕܦܢܘܐܝܠ ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܐܫܝܪ ܐܦ ܗܝ ܩܫܝܫܬ ܒܝܘܡܬܗ ܗܘܬ ܘܫܒܥ ܫܢܝܢ ܥܡ ܒܥܠܗ ܚܝܬ ܡܢ ܒܬܘܠܘܬܗ |
37 and she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
| ܘܗܘܬ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܡܢܐܝܢ ܘܐܪܒܥ ܘܠܐ ܦܪܩܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܒܨܘܡܐ ܘܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܦܠܚܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܒܠܠܝܐ |
38 And she came up at this very time, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
| ܘܐܦ ܗܝ ܩܡܬ ܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܘܐܘܕܝܬ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܡܠܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܥܡ ܟܠܢܫ ܕܡܤܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܦܘܪܩܢܗ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ |
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
| ܘܟܕ ܫܠܡܘ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܗܦܟܘ ܠܓܠܝܠܐ ܠܢܨܪܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܗܘܢ |
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
| ܛܠܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܬܚܝܠ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܡܬܡܠܐ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ |
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
| ܘܐܢܫܘܗܝ ܒܟܠ ܫܢܐ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܦܨܚܐ |
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
| ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܒܪ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܪܬܥܤܪܐ ܤܠܩܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܥܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ |
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
| ܘܟܕ ܫܠܡܘ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܦܟܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܛܠܝܐ ܦܫ ܠܗ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܝܘܤܦ ܘܐܡܗ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ |
44 but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
| ܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܡ ܒܢܝ ܠܘܝܬܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܡܪܕܐ ܝܘܡܐ ܚܕ ܒܥܐܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܐܢܫܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܘܬ ܡܢ ܕܝܕܥ ܠܗܘܢ |
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
| ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘܗܝ ܘܗܦܟܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ |
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
| ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܐܫܟܚܘܗܝ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܟܕ ܝܬܒ ܡܨܥܬ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܘܫܡܥ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܡܫܐܠ ܠܗܘܢ |
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
| ܘܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܒܚܟܡܬܗ ܘܒܦܬܓܡܘܗܝ |
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed; and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have been seeking thee in much distress.
| ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܬܡܗܘ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܗ ܐܡܗ ܒܪܝ ܠܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܠܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܕܗܐ ܐܒܘܟ ܘܐܢܐ ܒܛܘܪܦܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܟ |
49 And he said to them, Why is it that ye have been seeking me? Did ye not know that I must be about my Father's business?
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܒܝ ܘܠܐ ܠܝ ܕܐܗܘܐ |
50 And they understood not what he spoke to them.
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܘܕܥܘ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ |
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
| ܘܢܚܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܢܨܪܬ ܘܡܫܬܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܗ ܕܝܢ ܢܛܪܐ ܗܘܬ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܒܠܒܗ |
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܩܘܡܬܗ ܘܒܚܟܡܬܗ ܘܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܢܝܢܫܐ |
