< Luke 2 >
1 About that time the Emperor Augustus commanded that ([his officials must] write down the names/[a census be taken]) of all the people who lived in countries [controlled] by the Roman [government] {that the Roman [government controlled]}, [so that the government could collect taxes from them].
André ocolas chibeses anacó, que chaló abrí yeque edicto de Cæsar Augusto, somia que sari a sueti sinara jinada.
2 That was the first time that they (wrote down the names/took a census) in Syria [province, which included Judea district]. They did this while Quirinius was the governor of the province.
Ocola brotoboro jinamiento sinaba querdi por Cyrino, Chino-baro de Syria.
3 Every person had to go to the town where his [most famous ancestor] had lived, so that [the officials] could write down their names.
Y chalaban os sares á libanarse os naos cata yeque á desquero foros.
4 So, because Joseph was a descendant of [King] David, he went up from Nazareth, the town in Galilee [district where he lived], to the town of Bethlehem in Judea [district]. That was the town where [King] David [grew up].
Y ardiñó tambien Joseph del foros de Nazareth, á Judea, al foros de David, sos se heta Bethlehém: presas sinaba del quer y de la rati de David,
5 Joseph went with Mary, who [was considered] {whom [people considered]} [to be] his wife, who was now pregnant. They went so that they could put his name and Mary’s name [in the record book].
Somia libanarse o nao sat desqueri romi Maria, sos sinaba cambri.
6 When they arrived [in Bethlehem], there was no place for them to stay in the house where travelers stay. [So they stayed in a cattle shed]. When the time for Mary to give birth arrived, she gave birth to her first son there. She wrapped him in strips of cloth and placed him in a trough where [people] put food for the animals.
Y sinando oté, anacó, que se pereláron os chibeses andré que terelaba de chindar.
Y minchabó a desquero Chaboro broto-chindado, y lo chibó andré diclés, y lo chitó andré yeque olibar: presas na sinaba lugar por junos andré a mesuna.
8 That night, there were [some] shepherds who were taking care of their sheep [as usual] in the fields near [Bethlehem].
Y sinaba yeques durotunes andré ocola comarca, sos sinaban velando, y nacando as ocanas e rachí opré desquerias brajias.
9 An angel from God appeared to them. A great light (from the Lord/from God) shone on them and around them. [So] they became very afraid.
Y he acoi se childó sunparal á junos yeque Manfariel e Erañoró, y a dut de Debél os cercó de yacque, y tereláron baro dal.
10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! I have come to tell you good news, which will [make you] very happy! This message is for everyone [to hear].
Y les penó o Manfariel: nacangueleis: presas he acoi anuncio á sangue gosuncho baro, sos sinará á sari a sueti.
11 [The message is that] today a baby has been born in [Bethlehem, the town where King] David grew up. That baby will [eventually] save you [from the guilt of your sins]! He is the Messiah, [your] Lord!
Que sejonia sinela chindado a sangue o Salvador, sos sinela o Christo Erañó, andré o foros de David.
12 I will tell you how [you will recognize him] (OR, how you will know [that what I say is true]): [In Bethlehem] you will find a baby who has been wrapped {[whose mother] has wrapped him} in strips of cloth and placed in a trough where [people] put food for the animals.”
Y ocona sinará á sangue o simache: Alachareis o Chaboro chibado andré dicles; y chitado andré yeque olibar.
13 Suddenly a large group of angels from heaven appeared and joined the other angel. They all praised God, singing/saying,
Y yescotria se mecó dicar sat o Manfariel butrés manuces es jundunares e Tarpe, sos majarificaban a Debél, y penaban:
14 “May [all the angels] in the highest heaven praise God! And on the earth may the people to whom God has shown his favor have peace [with him]!”
Chimusolano á Debél andré o Tárpe, y andré a phu paz á os sares de lachi suncái.
15 After the angels left them [and returned] to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem to see this [wonderful] thing that has happened, which (the Lord/God) has told us about!”
Y anacó, que yescotria que os Manfarieles chaláron de junos al Tarpe, os durotunés penaban os yeques a os averes: Chalemos disde Bethlehém, y diquelemos ma ha anacado, ma o Erañó, ha diado á amangue.
16 So they went quickly. They found the [place where] Mary and Joseph [were staying], and [they saw] the baby lying in the trough where [people] put food for the animals.
Y chaláron singó, y alacháron á Maria, y á Joseph, y al chaboro chitado andré o olibar.
17 Then they told [Mary and Joseph and others] what had been told them {what [the angel] had told them} about this child.
Y pur ocono dicáron, jabilláron ma se les habia penado acerca de ocola Chaboró.
18 Everyone who heard what was said by the shepherds {what the shepherds said} to them was amazed.
Y os sares sos lo juneláron, se zibáron: y tambien de ma os durotunés les habian penado.
19 But Mary [did not talk to others about what the angels said]; she just kept thinking very much about it.
Tami Maria aracateaba sarias ocolas buchias, estongerandolas andré desquero carló.
20 The shepherds returned [to their sheep]. They kept praising God very much for all the things that they had heard and seen, [because] everything [happened] exactly like [the angels] told them.
Y se limbidiáron os durotunés chimusolanificando y majarificando á Debél por sarias as buchias, ma habian junelado y dicado, andiar sasta les habia sinado penado.
21 Seven days later, when [the priests] circumcised the baby, [his parents] named him Jesus. That was the name that [they were told by] the angel {the angel [told them]} [to] give him before Mary became pregnant.
Y despues que sináron nacados os otor chibeses somia chinar o postin e quilen al Chaboro, araqueráron desquero nao Jesus, sasta le habia araquerado o Manfariel, gres que sinaba concebido andré o trupo.
22 It had been written by Moses {Moses had written} [long ago] in a law that God gave him, that when a woman gave birth to her first son, the parents had to take him [to the Temple] in Jerusalem in order that they might dedicate him (to the Lord/to God). So when the time came for them to do those rituals so that [God would consider] them pure again, Mary and Joseph took Jesus there.
Y pur sináron nacados os chibeses e purificacion de Maria, segun la eschastra de Moyses, lo lligueráron á Jerusalém somia presentarlo al Erañoró,
Sasta sinela randado andré la Eschastra e Erañoró: que o saro manu sos despandase beo, sinará majarificado al Erañó.
24 God had commanded in his laws that if the first child [of a couple] was a boy, his parents should offer as a sacrifice to God two turtledoves or two young pigeons. [So Joseph and Mary gave the priest two birds so he could offer them].
Y somia diñar a ofrenda sasta sinela penado andré a Eschastra e Erañoró, yeque par de gobareyes, o dui custañias.
25 At that time there was an [old] man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. He habitually did what was pleasing to God and he obeyed God’s laws. The Holy Spirit was [directing] him as he was waiting for [God] [MTY] [to] encourage the Israeli [people by sending the Messiah].
Y sinaba al chiros andré Jerusalém gachó sos se hetó Simeón, y ocola manu lacho y daraño de Debél, ujarando a consolacion de Israel, y o Peniche sinaba andré ó.
26 It was [previously] revealed by the Holy Spirit {The Holy Spirit [previously] revealed} to him that he would see God’s [promised] Messiah before he died.
Y chanelaba del Peniche, que ó na dicaria meripen, bi dicar grés al Christo e Erañoró.
27 When Joseph and Mary brought their baby Jesus [to the Temple] in order to perform the rituals that [God had commanded] in his laws, the Spirit led Simeon to enter the Temple [courtyard, and revealed to him that Jesus was the Messiah].
Y abilló por ochi á la cangri, y lanelando os batuces al Chaboro Jesus, somia querelar segun la beda e Eschastra sat ó:
28 So he took Jesus up in his arms and praised God, saying,
Entonces lo ustiló andré sus murcias, y majarificó á Debél, y penó:
29 Lord, you promised me that I would see the one [MTY] who would enable you to save people of all people-groups from the guilt of their sins. He will be [MET] like a light that will reveal your truth to non-Jews, and he will cause people to think highly of your people, the Israeli people. Since I [SYN] have now seen this one that you promised to send, now let me die peacefully.
Acana, Erañó, mequeles á tun lacró chalar en paz, segun tiri varda:
Presas han dicado minrias aquias tun golipen,
Sos has aparejado antela chiché de sari la sueti;
Dut somia sinar revelada á os Busnés, y somia chimusolano de Israel tiri sueti.
33 His parents marveled about what [Simeon] said about [Jesus]. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary,
Y desquero batu y dai sinaban maravillados de ocolas buchías que se penelaban de ó.
34 “Note what I say: [God] has determined that because of this child, many Israeli people will [turn away from God], and many others will turn to God [MET]. Although he will be like a sign [MET] [to warn people], [many] people will oppose him.
Y os majarificó Simeón, y penó á Maria desqueri dai: He acoi que ocona Chaboro sinela sinchitó somia querelar perar, y somia ardiñar á baribustres andré Israel; y somia simáche á os sares sos contrapenarán:
35 As a result, the [evil] thoughts of many people will be made evident {he will reveal the [evil] thoughts of many people}. [Furthermore, the cruel things that they will do to him] [MET] [will be like] a sword that will pierce your (soul/inner being).”
Y un estuche velará tiro bucos de tun mateja, somia que sinelen chanelados os pensamientos de sares carlochines
36 There was also [in the Temple courtyard] a very old woman named Anna. She was a prophetess. Her father Phanuel was a member of the tribe of Asher. After she had been married seven years, her husband died.
Y sinaba yeque chuan jañí, araquerada Ana, dugida de Phanuel, e tribu de Aser: ocona ya terelaba butrés chibeses, y habia socabado eñia berjis sat desquero rom desde su pachi.
37 After that, she lived until she was 84 years old, and she was still a widow. She stayed in the Temple [area] all the time, night and day, worshipping God. She often (abstained from food/fasted) as she prayed.
Y siró sinaba piulí, sasta de otorenta y star berjis; y na chalaba abrí de la cangri, sirviendo chibes y rachí andré ayunos y ocanagimias.
38 [While Joseph and Mary and the baby were] still [in the Temple, Anna came to them. She thanked God for the baby]. Then she spoke about Jesus to many people who were expecting [God to send the Messiah] [MTY] to set [the people of] [MTY] Jerusalem free [from their enemies].
Y sasta siró bigorease andré a mateja ocana, majarificaba al Eraño: y penaba de ó á os sares sos ujaraban la mestepé de Israel.
39 After Joseph and Mary had finished performing the rituals that (the Lord/God) required [the parents of a first son] to perform, they returned to their own town, Nazareth, in Galilee [district].
Y pur tereláron querdi o saro, conforme a lá Eschastra e Erañoró, se limbidiáron a Galiléa á desquero foros de Nazareth.
40 As Jesus grew up, he became strong and very wise, and God was very pleased with him.
Y o chaboro se queró baro y silno, sinando perelalo de chanelería, y a gracia de Debél sinaba andré ó.
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem to [celebrate] the Passover festival.
Y desqueres batuces chaláron sarias as berjis á Jerusalém andré o chibes de la Ciria.
42 So when Jesus was twelve years old, they went up [to Jerusalem] as they always did.
Y pur tereló duideque berjis, ardiñaron á Jerusalém, segun a beda e chibes baro.
43 When the celebration ended, his parents started to return home, but Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. [His parents] did not realize that [Jesus stayed there].
Y acabados os chibeses, pur se limbidiaban, se quedisaró o chaboro Jesus andré Jerusalém, bi que desqueres batuces lo chanelasen.
44 They thought that he was with the other people who were traveling with them. They walked all day. Then they started to look for him among their relatives and friends.
Y penchabando que sinaba sat os averes de la plastañí, chaláron drun de yeque chibes, y le orotáron enré os parientes, y os monres.
45 They did not find him, so they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.
Y pur na le rachelasen, se limbidiáron á Jerusalém, orotándole.
46 Two days later, they found him. He was in the Temple [courtyard], sitting with the [Jewish] religious teachers. He was listening to what they said, and he was asking them questions.
Y anacó que trin chibeses despues le alacháron andré á cangrí, bestelando en medio es Chandés, junandolos, y puchabandolos.
47 Everyone who heard what he [said] was amazed at how much he understood and [how well] he answered [the questions that the teachers asked].
Y os sares sos le junelaban, se pasmaban, de desqueri chaneleria y de las respuestas de ó.
48 When his parents saw him, they were very surprised. His mother said to him, “My son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been very worried as we [(exc)] have been searching for you!”
Y pur le dicáron, se zibáron, y le penó desqueri dai: chaboro presas has querdi andiar sat amangue? dicá sasta tun batu y menda emposunó te orotabamos,
49 He said to them, [speaking about the Temple being God his Father’s house], “(I am surprised that you [(dl)] did [not know] where to find me!/Why did you [not know] where to find me?) [RHQ] (You [(dl)] should have known that it was necessary for me to be in my Father’s house!/Did you not know that it was necessary for me to be in my Father’s house?) [RHQ]”
Y les rudeló: ¿Para qué orotabais mangue? ¿Na chanelabais, que me jomte sinar andré as buchias que sinelan de minrio Dadá?
50 But they did not understand [the meaning of] what he said to them.
Tami junos na jabilláron a varda, que les penó.
51 Then he returned with them down to Nazareth. He always obeyed them. But his mother kept thinking about all those things.
Y se guilló ostely sat junos, y abilló á Nasareth: y sinaba sugeto á junos. Y sun dai aracateaba sarias ocolas buchias andré su carló.
52 [As the years passed], Jesus continued to become wiser and he grew taller. God and people continued to approve of him more and more.
Y Jesus se queró baro andré chaneleria, y andré berjis, y andré furuné anglal de Debél y es manuces.
