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.
He wode Roome biittan de7iya asay ubbay taybettana melanne sunthay xaafettana mela kawoy Awugisxoosi kiittis.
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
Hessika Qerenoosi Soore biittaa aysiya wode oosettida koyro taybuwa.
3 And all went to be registered, each to 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 Judaea, to 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 registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
Bishe, yelanaw wodey wurida I oychchi wothida, Mayraamira wolla xaafettanaw bis.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
Entti yan de7ishin iw yelo wodey gakkis.
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.
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, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
He gadiyan qamma dorssa wudiya naagishe karen aqiya henthanchchoti de7oosona.
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.
Godaa kiitanchchoy hassayonna yidi entta matan eqqis. Godaa bonchchoy entta yuushuwan poo7is; enttika wolqqaama yashshi yayyidosona.
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;
Shin kiitanchchoy, “Yayyofite hekko asaa ubbaas gidiya gita ufayssaa mishirachchuwa ekkada yas.
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
Hessika, Dawite kataman ashsheyssi hinttew hachchi yelettis. I Godaa Kiristtoosa.
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-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 among men of good will!”
“Bonchchoy Xoossaas dhoqqa saluwan, saroy biitta bolla Xoossay dosiya asaas gido” yaagidi galatidosona.
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.
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 the manger.
Enttika ellesidi bidosona. Mayraamo, Yoosefanne zoqale na7aa gonggen zin77idayssa be7idosona.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
Be7i simmidi na7abaa enttaw odettoyssa, qonccisidi he bessan de7iya asaas markkattidosona.
18 And all who heard wondered at the 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 which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
Henthanchchoti enttaw odettidayssada hanin be7idosona. Hessa gisho, bantta si7idabaasinne be7idaba ubbaas Xoossaa bonchchishenne galatishe simmidosona.
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.
Hosppuntha qamman, qaxxaro wodey gakkin, I qanthatanaappe sinthe kiitanchchoy wothida sunthan Yesuusa geetettis.
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,
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 first-born male 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 what is directed in the law of the Lord: “A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.”
Qassi Godaa wogan, nam77u kuraachcho woykko holle yarshshanaw efidosona.
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;
He wode geeshshinne ammanora mino gidida Simoona geetettiya asi Yerusalaamen de7ees. I Isra7eeleta atotethaa naagishe de7ees. Geeshsha Ayyaanaykka iya bolla de7ees.
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.
Qassi Kiristtoosa be7onna hayqqonnayssa Geeshsha Ayyaanay iyaw qonccisin eridi de7ees.
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,
I he gallas Ayyaanay kaalethin Xoossa Keethi bis. Na7aa aayeranne aawara wogaa polanaw yooga na7aa Yesuusa ekkidi gelida wode,
28 he took him 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 the peoples;
ne ashuwa be7is.
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Hessika kawotethata ubbaas, Xoossaa ogiya qonccisiya poo7o, ne asaa Isra7eeleskka bonchcho” yaagidi Xoossaa galatis.
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
Yoosefaranne Mayraamira iyaw odettidaban malaalettidosona.
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; —
Simooni entta anjjis. Aaye Mayraamikko, “Hekko daro asaa wozanaa qofay qonccana mela, Isra7eelen de7iya darotas entta kunddethaasinne dendduwas Xoossan doorettis.
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Qassi eqetteyssatas malla gidana. Ne shemppuwarakka qassi mashshi aadhdhana” yaagis.
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;
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 eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping 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 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.
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 to 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, being 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 used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Yoosefaranne Mayraamira Faasikka Baale bonchchanaw laythan laythan Yerusalaame boosona.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
Yesuusas tammanne nam77u laythi gidiya wode kase meezetidayssada baaliya bonchchanaw bidosona.
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
Baaliya bonchchidaappe guye soo simmiya wode na7ay Yesuusi Yerusalaamen attis. Shin Yoosefaranne Mayraamira I Yerusalaamen attoyssa eribookkona.
44 but, supposing him to be 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 not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of 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 teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
Heedzu gallasappe guye Xoossa Keethan asttamaareta giddon uttidi enttabaa si7ishenne entta oychchishe de7ishin demmidosona.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
Iya si7iya ubbay iya akeekaninne zaaruwan malaalettidosona.
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.
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 to them, Why is it that ye have been seeking me? Did ye not know 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 what he spoke to them.
Shin I enttako gidabaa entti akeekibookkona.
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.
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 favor with God and men.
Yesuusi, cinccatethan, geesaninne teematethan Xoossaa sinthaninne asa sinthan diccis.
