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].
Agus tárla ann sna láethibh sin, go ndeachuidh áithne ó Shéasar Augustus, an domhan uile do mheas,
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.
(Ag so an céudmheas do rinneadh an tan do bhi Sirénius na úachdarán ar Shíria.)
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.
Agus do chúadar eile dhá meas, gach áon fá leith dhá chathruigh féin,
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].
Agus do chúaidh Ióseph mar an gcéudna súas ón Ghalilé, as an gcathraigh Nasarét, go tír Iúdaighe, go cathruigh Dhaibhi, dá ngoirthear Bétleem; do bhrígh go raibh sé do thigh agus do shliochd Dháibhí:
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].
Ionnus go measfuigh é maille ré Muire do bhi ar na ceangal ris mar mhnáoi, ar mbeith dhi torrach.
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.
Agns tárla, ar mbeith dhóibh ann sin, go dtangadar laéthe a hionbhuidhsean.
Agus rug sí mac a céudduine cloinne, agus do chuir sí giobuil cheangail na thimcheall, agus do chuir sí na luighe a mainséur é; do bhrígh nach raibh ait aca sa tigh ósda.
8 That night, there were [some] shepherds who were taking care of their sheep [as usual] in the fields near [Bethlehem].
Agus do bhádar áodhairidhe sa dúithche sin na gcomhnuidhe a muigh, agns ag déanamh faire oidhche ar a dtréd.
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.
Agus, féuch, do sheas aingeal an Tighearna láimh léo, agus do shoillsigh ghlóir an Tighearna na dtimcheall: agus do ghabh eagla mhór íad.
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].
Agus a dubhairt an taingeal riú, Na bíodh eagla oruibh: óir, feuch, a táim ag soisgéulughadh dhíbh gáirdeachus mór, noch bhías do gach uile phobal.
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!
Oír rugadh an Slánuightheoir dháoibh a niu, (éadhon Críosd an Tighearna, ) a gcathruigh Dháibhí.
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.”
Agus ag so comhartha dhíbh; Do ghéubhtháoi an leanabh ceanguilte a ngiobluibh, na luighe a mainnséur.
13 Suddenly a large group of angels from heaven appeared and joined the other angel. They all praised God, singing/saying,
Agus do bhí go hobann cuideachda mhór do shlúagh neamhdha a bhfochair an aingil ag moladh Dé, agus ag rádh,
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]!”
Glóir do Dhía ann sna hárduibh, agus síodhcháin ar an dtalamh, deaghthoil do na dáoinibh.
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!”
Agus tárla, mar do imthigheadar na haingil úatha ar neamh, go ndubhradar na háodhairidhe ré chéile, Imthigheam anois don Bhetléem, agus féucham an ní so do rinneadh, noch do fhoillsigh an Tighearna dhúinn.
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.
Agus tangadar go deithneasach, agus fuaradar Muire agus Ióseph, agus an náoidhe na luighe a mainnséur.
17 Then they told [Mary and Joseph and others] what had been told them {what [the angel] had told them} about this child.
Agus an tráth do chonncadar sin, do aithriseadar an ní a dubhradh riú a dtimcheall an leinibhsin.
18 Everyone who heard what was said by the shepherds {what the shepherds said} to them was amazed.
Agus na huile dháoine da gcúalidh so do ghabh iongantus íad fá na neitheibh a dubhradar na háodhairidhe ríu.
19 But Mary [did not talk to others about what the angels said]; she just kept thinking very much about it.
Achd do thaisgidh Muire na bríathrasa uile, dá mbreathnughadh ann a croidhe.
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.
Agus do fhilleadar na háodhairidhe, ag tabhairt glóire agus ag moladh Dé tré gach ní da gcúaladar agus da bhfacadar, mar a dubhradh riú.
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.
Agus an tan do coimhlíonadh ochd lá chum an leinibh do thimcheallgherradh, tugadh' IOSA mar ainm air, éadhon an tainm do ghoir an taingeal de suil do gheineadh a mbroinn é.
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.
Agus an tan do coimhlíonadh laéthe glanta Mhuire do réir reachda Mháoisi, rugadar léo go Hiarusaléim é, da thaisbéanadh don Tighearna;
(Mar a tá scriobhtha a reachd an Tighearna, Gach céudghein mhic thuismeas brú bíaidh sé náomhtha don Tighearna; )
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].
Agus do thabhairt ofrála, do réir mar a dearthar a reachd an Tighearna, Cúpla turtair, nó dha gheirrceach coluim.
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].
Agus, féuch, do bhí duine a Níarusaléim, dár bhainm Símeon; agus do bhí an fearso comhthrom diadha, agus a shúil ré comhfhurtachd Israel: agus do bhí an Spíorad Náomh ann,
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.
Agus do fhoillsigh an Spiorad Náomh dhó, nach bhfaicfeadh sé bás, nó go bhfhaicfeadh sé Criosd an Tighearna,
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].
Agus táinic sé maille ré tréoir na Spioraide don teampoll: agus an tan thug a athair agus a mháthair an leanabh Iósa, do chum go ndéanaídis ar a shon do réir gnáthuighthe an dlighe,
28 So he took Jesus up in his arms and praised God, saying,
Ann sin do ghabh seision chuige ann a uchd é, agus do mhol sé Día, agus a dubhairt sé,
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.
A Thighearna, a nois leigeas tú dod shearbhfhoghantuidhe imtheachd a síodhchain, do réir tfhocail féin:
Oir do chonncadar mo shúile do shlánughadhsá,
Noch do ullmhuigh tú a bhfíadhnuisi na nuile phobal.
Solus do dhéunadh soillsi do na Cineadhachuibh, agus glóir do phobail féin Israél.
33 His parents marveled about what [Simeon] said about [Jesus]. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary,
Agus do ghabh iongantus Ióseph agus a mháthairsion fá na neithibh a dubhhradh na thimcheall.
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.
Agus do bheannuigh Símeon íad, agus a dubhairt sé ré Muire a mhathairsion, Féuch, a tá sé so ar na órdughadh do chum tuitme agus eiséirghe mhóráin a Nisraél; agus na chomhartha agá gcuirfithear na aghaidh;
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).”
(Agus fós, rachaidh cloidh éamh tré thanamsa mar an gcéudna, ) do chum go nochdfuidhe smúaintighthe as mórán do chroidhibh.
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.
Agus fós do bhí Anna, banfháidh, inghean Phánuel, do threibh Aser: do bhi aois mhór aiceso, tár éis seachd mblíadhna do chaitheamh dhi ag fear a ndiáigh a maighdeannis;
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.
Agus ar mbeith na baintreabhuigh a dtinicheall cheithre mblíadhan agus cheithre tichid dhi, níor fhág sí an teampoll, achd ag déunamh seirbhísí do Dhía do ló agus doidhche le trosgadh agus lé húrnuighthe.
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].
Agus táinic so do láthair ar an úair gcéudna agus dadmhuigh sí na thimcheall ré gach áon agá raibh súil ré fúasgladh an Iarusaléim.
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].
Agus mar do chríochnuigheadar gach uile ni do réir reachda an Thighearna, do fhilleadar don Ghalilé, da gcathruigh féin Násarét.
40 As Jesus grew up, he became strong and very wise, and God was very pleased with him.
Agus do fhás an macaomh, agus do neartuigheadh é a spioraid, agus do bhí sé lán deagna: agus do bhí grása Dé maille ris.
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem to [celebrate] the Passover festival.
Agus do ghnáthuigheagh a athair agus a mháthair dul gach a blíadhna go Híarusaléim a sollamuin na cásg.
42 So when Jesus was twelve years old, they went up [to Jerusalem] as they always did.
Agus ar mbeith dhá bhliadhan déug dho, do chuadar suas go Híarusaléim, do réir ghnáthuighthe na sollamna.
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].
Agus are geríochnughadh na, láetheadh sin, an tan do fhilleadarsan, dfan anleanabh Iósa a Níarusaléim; gan fhios do Ióseph ná dhá mháthair.
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.
Agus, an tan do shaóileadar go raibh sé na gcuideachda, do shiobhladar asdar laoi; agus diarradar é a measg a ndaoine gaoil agus aitheanta.
45 They did not find him, so they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.
Agus an tan nach bhfúaradar é, do fhilleadar arís go Híarusaléim, dhá iarruigh.
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.
Agus tárla, trí lá dá éis sin, go bhfúaradar é ann sa teampoll, na shuidhe a measg na ndoctúireadh, ag éisdeachd ríú, agus ag cur cheasd ortha.
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].
Agus do ghabh iongnadh gach uile dhuine dá gcúalaidh é fá na thuigsin agus fá na fhreagarthaibh.
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!”
Agus ar na fhaicsin dóibh, do ghabh úathbhás iad: agus a dubhairt a mháthair ris, A mhic, créd fá ndearna tú mar so rinn? Féuch, do bhí misi agus dathair lán do dhobhron dod lordaireachd.
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]”
Agus a dubhairt seision ríu, Créd fá rabhabhair dom lorgaireachdsa? An né nach raibh a fhios agaibh gur bhéigin damhsa bheith ag déanamh ghnódhaighthe Mathar?
50 But they did not understand [the meaning of] what he said to them.
Achd níor thuigeadarsan na briathra do labhair se ríu.
51 Then he returned with them down to Nazareth. He always obeyed them. But his mother kept thinking about all those things.
Agus do chuáidh sé léo síos, agus táinic sé go Násaret, agus do bhí sé umhal dóibh: agus do thaisgidh a mháthair na briathra so uile an a croidhe.
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.
Agus dó bhí Iósa ag fás an eagna, agus a naóis, agus a ngean ag Día agus ag daóinibh.
