Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to arrange a narrative of those things which are fully believed among us,
Namoonni baayʼeen seenaa wantoota nu gidduutti raawwatame sanaa barreessuu yaalaniiru;
2 even as they were delivered to us by those who were eye-witnesses from the beginning and became ministers of the word,
kunis akka warri jalqabaa kaasanii ijaan arganii fi tajaajiltoota dubbichaa turan sun nutti dabarsanii kennanitti.
3 it seemed good to me also, having accurately traced up all things from the first, to write to thee a connected account, most excellent Theophilus,
Kanaafuu yaa Tewofilos kabajamaa, anis jalqabumaa kaasee waan hundumaa sirriitti ergan qoradhee booddee seenaa sana wal duraa duubaan siif barreessuun waan gaarii natti fakkaateera.
4 that thou mightst know the exact truth with regard to those things in which thou wast instructed.
Kunis akka wanni ati baratte sun dhugaa taʼe akka beektuuf.
5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zachariah, of the course of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Bara Heroodis mootii Yihuudaa turetti ramaddii lubummaa Abiyaa keessaa luba Zakkaariyaas jedhamu tokkotu ture; niitiin isaa Elsaabeexis sanyii Aroon.
6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Lamaan isaanii iyyuu ajajaa fi seera Gooftaa hunda mudaa malee eeguudhaan fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeeltota turan.
7 And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years.
Garuu Elsaabeex waan dhabduu turteef ijoollee hin qaban ture; lamaan isaanii iyyuu dulloomanii turan.
8 And it came to pass, that, while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his course,
Zakkaariyaasis dabareen garee isaa geenyaan utuu fuula Waaqaa duratti tajaajila lubummaa isaa kennaa jiruu,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood the lot fell to him to go into the temple of the Lord and burn the incense.
akkuma duudhaa lubummaatti akka mana qulqullummaa Gooftaa seenee ixaana aarsuuf ixaadhaan filatame.
10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of the incense.
Yeroo ixaanni aarfamuttis namoonni baayʼeen alatti kadhachaa turan.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
Ergamaan Gooftaas iddoo aarsaa ixaanaatiin mirga dhaabatee Zakkaariyaasitti mulʼate.
12 And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.
Zakkaariyaasis yommuu isa argetti ni rifate; sodaanis isa qabate.
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name John.
Ergamaan sun garuu akkana isaan jedhe; “Yaa Zakkaariyaas, hin sodaatin; kadhannaan kee dhagaʼameera. Niitiin kee Elsaabeex ilma siif deessi; atis maqaa isaa Yohannis jedhii moggaasi.
14 And thou wilt have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice for his birth.
Ati ilillee fi gammachuu ni qabaatta; namoonni baayʼeenis dhalachuu isaatti ni gammadu;
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and will drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his very birth.
inni fuula Gooftaa duratti guddaa taʼaatii. Daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu gonkumaa dhuguu hin qabu; utuma garaa haadha isaa keessa jiruus Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ni guutama.
16 And many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God.
Saba Israaʼel keessaas namoota baayʼee gara Gooftaa, gara Waaqa isaaniitti ni deebisa.
17 And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.
Innis saba Gooftaaf qophaaʼe tokko kurfeessuuf jedhee garaa abbootii gara ijoollee isaaniitti, warra hin ajajamne immoo gara ogummaa qajeeltotaatti deebisuuf hafuuraa fi humna Eeliyaasiin fuula Gooftaa dura ni deema.”
18 And Zachariah said to the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years.
Zakkaariyaasis, “Ani akkamittin kana beeka? Ani dulloomeera; umuriin niitii kootiis deemee jira” jedhee ergamaa sana gaafate.
19 And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee these glad tidings.
Ergamaan sunis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani Gabriʼeel isa fuula Waaqaa dura dhaabatuu dha; anis sitti dubbachuu fi oduu gammachiisaa kana sitti himuuf ergameera.
20 And lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, until the day when these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their season.
Kunoo, ati sababii dubbii koo isa yeroo isaatti mirkanaaʼu hin amaniniif hamma gaafa wanni kun taʼuutti ni duudda; dubbachuus hin dandeessu.”
21 And the people were looking for Zachariah, and wondering that he remained so long in the temple.
Uummannis yeroo sana sababii Zakkaariyaas yeroo akkas dheeratu mana qulqullummaa keessa tureef dinqifachaa isa eegaa ture.
22 And on coming out, he was not able to speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he was beckoning to them, and remained speechless.
Garuu Zakkaariyaas yommuu gad baʼetti waan isaanitti dubbachuu hin dandaʼiiniif isaan akka inni mana qulqullummaa keessatti mulʼata wayii arge hubatan; innis mallattoon isaanitti himaa ture malee dubbachuu hin dandeenye.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were completed, that he returned to his house.
Innis yommuu yeroon tajaajila isaa raawwatetti gara mana isaatti deebiʼe.
24 And after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Ergasii niitiin isaa Elsaabeex ulfooftee hamma jiʼa shaniitti manaa hin baane.
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.
Isheenis, “Gooftaan salphina namoota gidduutti narra ture narraa kaasuuf jedhee guyyaa arjummaan na yaadatetti waan kana naa godhe” jette.
26 And in her sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
Jiʼa jaʼaffaattis Gabriʼeel Ergamichi Waaqa biraa gara magaalaa Naazreeti ishee Galiilaa keessatti argamtuutti ergame;
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
innis gara durba namichi sanyii Daawit irraa dhalate kan maqaan isaa Yoosef jedhamu tokkoof kaadhimamtee dhufe. Maqaan durba qulqullittii sanaas Maariyaam ture.
28 And the angel came in to her and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored! the Lord is with thee.
Ergamaan Waaqaa sunis gara ishee dhaqee, “Yaa ishee surraa argatte; nagaan siif haa taʼu! Gooftaan si wajjin jira” jedhe.
29 And she was troubled at the words, and was considering what this salutation could mean.
Maariyaam garuu dubbii ergamaa sanaatiin akka malee jeeqamtee, “Kun nagaa akkamiitii?” jettee yaadde.
30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast found favor with God.
Ergamichi garuu akkana isheedhaan jedhe; “Yaa Maariyaam, hin sodaatin; ati Waaqa biraa surraa argatteertaatii.
31 And lo! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and hear a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
Kunoo ni ulfoofta; Ilmas ni deessa; maqaa isaas Yesuus jettee moggaafta.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father;
Innis guddaa ni taʼa; Ilma Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii jedhamees ni waamama. Waaqni Gooftaanis teessoo Abbaa isaa Daawit ni kennaaf;
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (aiōn g165)
inni mana Yaaqoob irratti bara baraan ni moʼa; mootummaan isaas dhuma hin qabu.” (aiōn g165)
34 Then said Mary to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
Maariyaamis, “Ani durba; yoos wanni kun akkamitti taʼuu dandaʼa ree?” jettee ergamaa sana gaafatte.
35 And the angel answering said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; wherefore the holy one that is to be born will be called the Son of God.
Ergamaan sunis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Hafuurri Qulqulluun sirra buʼa; humni Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis si golbooba. Kanaaf inni qulqulluun dhalatu sun Ilma Waaqaa ni jedhama.
36 And lo! Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren.
Kunoo, firri kee Elsaabeexi iyyuu dulluma ishee keessa ilma ulfoofteerti; isheen dhabduu jedhamaa turte sun jiʼa jaʼaffaa qabatteerti.
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
Wanni Waaqaaf hin dandaʼamne hin jiruutii.”
38 And Mary said, Lo, the handmaid of the Lord! May it be to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Maariyaamis, “Kunoo, ani garbittii Gooftaa ti. Akkuma ati dubbatte naaf haa taʼu” jetteen. Ergamichis ishee dhiisee deeme.
39 And Mary arose and went in those days into the hill-country with haste, into a city of Judah.
Yeroo sana Maariyaam kaatee ariitiidhaan gara magaalaa baddaa biyya Yihuudaa tokkoo dhaqxe.
40 And she entered the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.
Isheenis mana Zakkaariyaas seentee Elsaabeexin nagaa gaafatte.
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
Elsaabeexis yommuu nagaa Maariyaam dhageessetti mucaan sun gadameessa ishee keessa uʼutaale. Elsaabeexis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ni guutamte.
42 and cried out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women; and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!
Isheenis sagalee ishee ol fudhattee iyyitee akkana jette; “Ati dubartoota keessaa eebbifamtuu dha; mucaan ati deessus eebbifamaa dha.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Garuu akka haati Gooftaa koo gara koo dhuftuuf arjummaan akkanaa akkamitti naa godhame?
44 For lo! as soon as the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, the babe leaped in my womb in exultation.
Kunoo, akkuma sagaleen nagaa keetii gurra koo seeneen ulfi gadameessa koo keessa jiru gammachuun utaaleera.
45 And blessed is she who hath believed that there will be an accomplishment of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Wanni Gooftaan isheetti dubbate akka raawwatamu kan amante isheen eebbifamtuu dha!”
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord,
Maariyaamis akkana jette: “Lubbuun koo Gooftaadhaaf ulfina kenniti;
47 and my spirit hath exulted in God my Saviour;
hafuurri koos fayyisaa koo Waaqatti ni gammada;
48 for he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaiden. For lo! from this time all generations will call me blessed;
inni salphina garbittii isaa argeeraatii. Kunoo ammaa jalqabee dhaloonni hundinuu eebbifamtuu naan jedha;
49 for the Mighty One hath done great things for me; and holy is his name;
Inni humna qabeessi sun waan guddaa naa godheeraatii; maqaan isaa qulqulluu dha.
50 and his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him.
Araarri isaas warra isa sodaataniif dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti itti fufa.
51 He hath wrought mightily with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the device of their heart.
Inni irree isaatiin hojiiwwan gurguddaa hojjeteera; of tuultotas yaada garaa isaaniitiin bittinneesseera.
52 He hath cast down princes from thrones, and exalted men of low degree.
Bulchitoota teessoo isaanii irraa buuseera; gad of qabeeyyii garuu ol kaaseera.
53 The hungry he hath filled with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
Warra beelaʼan waan gaariidhaan quufseera; sooreyyii garuu harka duwwaa deebiseera.
54 He hath given help to Israel his servant, in remembrance of his mercy
Inni araara qabeessa taʼuu isaa yaadachaa garbicha isaa Israaʼelin gargaareera;
kunis akkuma inni abbootii keenyaaf, Abrahaamii fi sanyii isaatiif bara baraan waadaa galetti.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Maariyaamis gara jiʼa sadii Elsaabeexi bira turtee gara mana ofii isheetti deebite.
57 Now Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Elsaabeexi yeroon daʼumsa ishee geenyaan ilma deesse.
58 And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had showed great mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her.
Olloonni isheetii fi firoonni ishee akka Gooftaan araara guddaa isheef godhe dhagaʼanii ishee wajjin gammadan.
59 And it came to pass that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they were about to call him Zachariah, after the name of his father.
Isaanis guyyaa saddeettaffaatti daaʼima sana dhagna qabuu dhufan; Zakkaariyaas jedhaniis maqaa abbaa isaatiin isa moggaasuu fedhan.
60 And his mother answering said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
Haati isaa garuu, “Lakkii! Inni Yohannis jedhamee waamamuu qaba” jette.
61 And they said to her, There is no one of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Isaanis, “Firoota kee keessa namni maqaa akkanaa qabu tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedhaniin.
62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him named.
Namoonni sunis akka Zakkaariyaas eenyu jedhee daaʼima sana waamuu barbaadu beekuuf jedhanii mallattoon isa gaafatan.
63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
Innis gabatee irratti barreessu kadhatee, “Maqaan isaa Yohannis” jedhee barreesse; hundi isaaniis ni dinqifatan.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue was loosed; and he spoke, blessing God.
Yommusuma afaan isaa banamee arrabni isaa hiikame; innis Waaqa galateeffachuudhaan dubbachuu jalqabe.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt around them; and all these things were talked of throughout the whole of the hill-country of Judaea.
Olloonni isaanii hundinuu sodaadhaan guutaman; wanni kunis baddaa biyya Yihuudaa hunda keessatti odeeffame.
66 And all that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
Warri kana dhagaʼan hundinuus, “Yoos daaʼimni kun nama akkamii taʼinna laata?” jedhanii garaa isaaniitti dinqifatan. Harki Gooftaa isa wajjin tureetii.
67 And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Zakkaariyaas abbaan Yohannis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutamee akkana jedhees raajii dubbate:
68 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
“Sababii dhufee saba isaa fureef Gooftaan, Waaqni Israaʼel haa eebbifamu.
69 and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant, —
Inni mana garbicha isaa mana Daawit keessatti gaanfa fayyinaa nuuf kaaseera;
akkuma afaan raajota isaa qulqulloota duriitiin dubbatetti (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us,
diinota keenya jalaa, harka warra nu jibban hundumaa keessaas nu baasuuf jedhee
72 to accomplish his mercy toward our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant,
araara abbootii keenyaaf waadaa gale sana raawwachuudhaaf, kakuu isaa qulqulluu,
73 the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
inni abbaa keenya Abrahaamiif kakate yaadachuudhaaf,
74 to grant to us, that being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we might worship him without fear,
harka diinota keenyaa keessaa nu baasuudhaaf, akka nu sodaa malee isa tajaajillu nu dandeessisuudhaaf,
75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days.
akka nu bara jireenya keenyaa guutuu qulqullinaa fi qajeelinaan, fuula isaa duratti tajaajilluuf waan kana godhe.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called a prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go in advance before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
“Yaa mucaa ko, ati raajii Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ni jedhamta; ati karaa isaa qopheessuuf fuula Gooftaa dura ni deemtaatii;
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins
kunis akka ati dhiifama cubbuu argachuu isaaniitiin beekumsa fayyinaa saba isaatiif kennituuf;
78 through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us,
sababii araara Waaqa keenyaa kan gara laafinaan guutame kan bariin fayyinaa samii irraa ittiin nuu bariʼuu,
79 to give light to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
warra dukkana keessa, gaaddidduu duʼaa jala jiraniif akka ifa kennuuf; miilla keenyas karaa nagaa irra deemsisuuf.”
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit; and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Mucichis guddatee hafuuraan jabaachaa deeme; hamma guyyaa saba Israaʼelitti mulʼateettis gammoojjii keessa jiraate.
