Luke 2
1 About that time an edict was issued by the Emperor Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole Empire.
A waɗancan kwanaki, Kaisar Augustus ya ba da doka cewa ya kamata a yi ƙidaya a dukan masarautar Roma.
2 (This was the first census taken while Quirinius was Governor of Syria).
(Wannan ce ƙidaya ta fari da aka yi a lokacin da Kwiriniyus yake gwamnar Suriya.)
3 And every one went to his own town to be registered.
Sai kowa ya koma garinsa don a rubuta shi.
4 Among others Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem, the town of David, in Judea — because he belonged to the family and house of David —
Saboda haka Yusuf ma ya haura daga Nazaret a Galili zuwa Yahudiya, ya tafi Betlehem garin Dawuda, don shi daga gida da kuma zuriyar Dawuda ne.
5 To be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was about to become a mother.
Ya tafi can don a rubuta shi tare da Maryamu, wadda aka yi masa alkawari zai aura, tana kuwa da ciki.
6 While they were there her time came,
Yayinda suke can, sai lokacin haihuwar jaririn ya yi,
7 and she gave birth to her first child, a son. And because there was no room for them in the inn, she swathed him round and laid him in a manger.
ta kuwa haifi ɗanta na fari. Ta nannaɗe shi a zane ta kuma kwantar da shi cikin wani kwami, don ba su sami ɗaki a masauƙi ba.
8 In that same country-side were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,
Akwai makiyaya masu zama a fili kusa da wurin, suna tsaron garkunan tumakinsu da dare.
9 when an angel of the Lord suddenly stood by them, and the Glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were seized with fear.
Sai wani mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana gare su, ɗaukakar Ubangiji kuma ta haskaka kewaye da su, suka kuwa tsorata ƙwarai.
10 “Have no fear,” the angel said. “For I bring you good news of a great joy in store for all the nation.
Amma mala’ikan ya ce musu, “Kada ku ji tsoro. Na kawo muku labari mai daɗi na farin ciki mai yawa ne wanda zai zama domin dukan mutane.
11 This day there has been born to you, in the town of David, a Saviour, who is Christ and Lord.
Yau a birnin Dawuda an haifa muku Mai Ceto; shi ne Kiristi Ubangiji.
12 And this shall be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger.”
Wannan zai zama alama a gare ku. Za ku tarar da jariri a nannaɗe a zane kwance a kwami.”
13 Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly Host, praising God, and singing —
Ba labari sai ga taron rundunar sama suka bayyana tare da mala’ikan, suna yabon Allah suna cewa,
14 “Glory to God on high, And on earth peace among men in whom he finds pleasure.”
“Ɗaukaka ga Allah a can cikin sama, a duniya kuma salama ga mutane waɗanda tagomashinsa yake bisansu.”
15 Now, when the angels had left them and gone back to Heaven, the shepherds said to one another: “Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, of which the Lord has told us.”
Da mala’ikun suka bar su, su suka koma sama, sai makiyayan suka ce wa juna, “Mu je Betlehem mu ga wannan abin da ya faru, wanda Ubangiji ya sanar mana.”
16 So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;
Sai suka tafi da sauri, suka tarar da Maryamu da Yusuf, da kuma jaririn kwance a kwami.
17 and, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
Sa’ad da suka gan shi, sai suka baza maganar da aka gaya musu game da yaron,
18 All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
duk kuwa waɗanda suka ji wannan, suka yi mamaki a kan abin da makiyayan suka faɗa.
19 while Mary treasured up all that they said, and dwelt upon it in her thoughts.
Amma Maryamu ta riƙe dukan waɗannan abubuwa ta kuma yi ta tunaninsu a zuciyarta.
20 And the shepherds went back, giving glory and praise to God for all that they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
Makiyayan kuwa suka koma, suna ɗaukaka suna kuma yabon Allah saboda dukan abubuwan da suka ji, suka kuma gani, yadda aka gaya musu.
21 Eight days after the birth of the child, when it was time to circumcise him, he received the name Jesus — the name given him by the angel before his conception.
A rana ta takwas, da lokaci ya yi da za a yi masa kaciya, sai aka ba shi suna Yesu, sunan da mala’ika ya ba shi kafin a yi cikinsa.
22 When the period of purification of mother and child, enjoined by the Law of Moses, came to an end, his parents took the child up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
Da lokacin tsarkakewarsu bisa ga Dokar Musa ya cika, sai Yusuf da Maryamu suka ɗauke shi suka haura zuwa Urushalima don su miƙa shi ga Ubangiji
23 in compliance with the Law of the Lord that ‘every first-born male shall be dedicated to the Lord,’
(yadda yake a rubuce a Dokar Ubangiji cewa, “Kowane ɗan fari, za a keɓe shi ga Ubangiji”),
24 And also to offer the sacrifice enjoined in the Law of the Lord — ‘a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.’
don kuma su miƙa hadaya bisa ga abin da aka faɗa a Dokar Ubangiji cewa, “kurciyoyi biyu ko’yan tattabarai biyu.”
25 There was at that time in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, a righteous and devout man, who lived in constant expectation of the Consolation of Israel, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
To, akwai wani mutum a Urushalima mai suna Siman, shi mai adalci da kuma mai ibada. Yana jiran fansar Isra’ila, Ruhu Mai Tsarki kuwa yana tare da shi.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
An bayyana masa ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki cewa ba zai mutu ba sai ya ga Kiristi na Ubangiji.
27 Moved by the Spirit, Simeon came into the Temple Courts, and, when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the Law,
Da Ruhu ya iza shi, sai ya shiga cikin filin haikali. Sa’ad da iyayen suka kawo jaririn nan Yesu don su yi masa abin da al’adar Doka ta bukaci,
28 Simeon himself took the child in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
sai Siman ya karɓi yaron a hannuwansa ya yabi Allah, yana cewa,
29 “Now, Lord, thou wilt let thy servant go, According to thy word, in peace,
“Ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, kamar yadda ka yi alkawari, yanzu ka sallami bawanka lafiya.
30 for my eyes have seen the Salvation
Gama idanuna sun ga cetonka,
31 Which thou hast prepared in the sight of all nations —
wanda ka shirya a gaban dukan mutane,
32 A Light to bring light to the Gentiles, And to be the Glory of thy people Israel.”
haske don bayyanawa ga Al’ummai da kuma ɗaukaka ga mutanenka Isra’ila.”
33 While the child’s father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
Mahaifin yaron da kuma mahaifiyarsa suka yi mamaki abin da aka faɗa game da shi.
34 Simeon gave them his blessing, and said to Mary, the child’s mother: “This child is appointed to be the cause of the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign much spoken against —
Sa’an nan Siman ya sa musu albarka ya ce wa Maryamu mahaifiyarsa, “An ƙaddara yaron nan yă zama sanadin fāɗuwa da tashin mutane da yawa a Isra’ila, zai kuma zama alamar da mutane ba za su so ba,
35 Yes, the sword will pierce your own heart — and so the thoughts in many minds will be disclosed.”
ta haka za a fallasa tunanin zukatan mutane da yawa. Ke ma, takobi zai soki zuciyarki.”
36 There was also a Prophetess named Hannah, a daughter of Phanuel and of the tribe of Asher. She was far advanced in years, having lived with her husband for seven years after marriage,
Akwai wata annabiya ma, mai suna Anna, diyar Fanuwel, na kabilar Asher. Ta tsufa kutuf; ta yi zama da mijinta shekaru bakwai bayan sun yi aure,
37 and then a widow, till she had reached the age of eighty-four. She never left the Temple Courts, but, fasting and praying, worshiped God night and day.
ta kuwa zama gwauruwa sai da ta kai shekaru tamanin da huɗu. Ba ta taɓa barin haikali ba, tana sujada dare da rana, tana kuma azumi da addu’a.
38 At that moment she came up, and began publicly to thank God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the deliverance of Jerusalem.
Tana haurawa wurinsu ke nan a wannan lokaci, sai ta yi wa Allah godiya ta kuma yi magana game da yaron nan ga dukan waɗanda suke sauraron fansar Urushalima.
39 When the child’s parents had done everything enjoined by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
Bayan da Yusuf da Maryamu suka gama yin dukan abubuwan da Dokar Ubangiji ta bukaci, sai suka koma Galili suka tafi Nazaret garinsu.
40 The child grew and became strong and wise, and the blessing of God was upon him.
Yaron kuwa ya yi girma ya yi ƙarfi; ya cika da hikima, alherin Allah kuwa yana bisansa.
41 Every year the child’s parents used to go to Jerusalem at the Passover Festival.
Kowace shekara, iyayen Yesu sukan je Urushalima don Bikin Ƙetarewa.
42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they went according to custom to Jerusalem,
Da Yesu ya cika shekaru goma sha biyu, sai suka tafi Bikin bisa ga al’ada.
43 and had finished their visit; but, when they started to return, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, without their knowing it.
Bayan Bikin, da iyayen suka kama hanya don su koma gida, sai Yesu, yaron nan, ya tsaya a Urushalima, ba da saninsu ba.
44 Thinking that he was with their fellow-travellers, they went one day’s journey before searching for him among their relations and acquaintances;
Su kuwa sun ɗauka yana tare da su, saboda haka, suka yi ta tafiya har na yini guda. Sa’an nan suka fara nemansa cikin’yan’uwansu da abokansu.
45 and then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.
Da ba su gan shi ba, sai suka koma Urushalima nemansa.
46 It was not till the third day that they found him in the Temple Courts, sitting among the Teachers, now listening to them, now asking them questions.
Bayan kwana uku, sai suka same shi a filin haikali zaune a tsakiyar malamai, yana sauraronsu yana kuma yi musu tambayoyi.
47 All who listened to him marvelled at his intelligence and his answers.
Dukan waɗanda suka ji shi, suka yi mamakin fahimtarsa, da amsoshinsa.
48 His parents were amazed when they saw him, and his mother said to him: “My child, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”
Da iyayensa suka gan shi sai suka yi mamaki. Mahaifiyarsa ta ce masa, “Ɗana, don me ka yi mana haka? Ni da mahaifinka duk mun damu muna nemanka.”
49 “What made you search for me?” he answered. “Did not you know that I must be in my Father’s House?”
Sai ya ce, “Don me kuke nemana? Ba ku san cewa, dole in kasance a gidan Ubana ba?”
50 His parents did not understand what he meant.
Amma ba su fahimci abin da yake faɗin musu ba.
51 However he went down with them to Nazareth, and submitted himself to their control; and his mother treasured all that was said in her heart.
Sai ya koma Nazaret tare da su, yana yi musu biyayya. Mahaifiyarsa kuma ta riƙe dukan waɗannan abubuwa a zuciyarta.
52 And Jesus grew in wisdom as he grew in years, and ‘gained the blessing of God and men.’
Yesu kuwa ya yi girma, ya kuma ƙaru cikin hikima, ya kuma sami tagomashi a wurin Allah da mutane.
