Luke 1
1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
Namoonni baayʼeen seenaa wantoota nu gidduutti raawwatame sanaa barreessuu yaalaniiru;
2 Even as they delivered them to us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and 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 had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to thee in order, 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 mayest know the certainty of those things, in which thou hast been instructed.
Kunis akka wanni ati baratte sun dhugaa taʼe akka beektuuf.
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
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 before 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 Elisabeth was barren, and they both were well 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 executed the priest’s office 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 priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
akkuma duudhaa lubummaatti akka mana qulqullummaa Gooftaa seenee ixaana aarsuuf ixaadhaan filatame.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the time of incense.
Yeroo ixaanni aarfamuttis namoonni baayʼeen alatti kadhachaa turan.
11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Ergamaan Gooftaas iddoo aarsaa ixaanaatiin mirga dhaabatee Zakkaariyaasitti mulʼate.
12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Zakkaariyaasis yommuu isa argetti ni rifate; sodaanis isa qabate.
13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth 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 shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Ati ilillee fi gammachuu ni qabaatta; namoonni baayʼeenis dhalachuu isaatti ni gammadu;
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
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 children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
Saba Israaʼel keessaas namoota baayʼee gara Gooftaa, gara Waaqa isaaniitti ni deebisa.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
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 Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well 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 am sent to speak to thee, and to show 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, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall 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 waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
Uummannis yeroo sana sababii Zakkaariyaas yeroo akkas dheeratu mana qulqullummaa keessa tureef dinqifachaa isa eegaa ture.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he made signs 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, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Innis yommuu yeroon tajaajila isaa raawwatetti gara mana isaatti deebiʼe.
24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth 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 when 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 the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Jiʼa jaʼaffaattis Gabriʼeel Ergamichi Waaqa biraa gara magaalaa Naazreeti ishee Galiilaa keessatti argamtuutti ergame;
27 To a virgin espoused 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 to her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Ergamaan Waaqaa sunis gara ishee dhaqee, “Yaa ishee surraa argatte; nagaan siif haa taʼu! Gooftaan si wajjin jira” jedhe.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered in her mind what manner of greeting this should be.
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 favour with God.
Ergamichi garuu akkana isheedhaan jedhe; “Yaa Maariyaam, hin sodaatin; ati Waaqa biraa surraa argatteertaatii.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth 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 Highest: and the Lord God shall give to him the throne of his father David:
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, seeing I know not a man?
Maariyaamis, “Ani durba; yoos wanni kun akkamitti taʼuu dandaʼa ree?” jettee ergamaa sana gaafatte.
35 And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing who shall be born of thee shall 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, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
Kunoo, firri kee Elsaabeexi iyyuu dulluma ishee keessa ilma ulfoofteerti; isheen dhabduu jedhamaa turte sun jiʼa jaʼaffaa qabatteerti.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Wanni Waaqaaf hin dandaʼamne hin jiruutii.”
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it 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 in those days, and went 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 entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elisabeth.
Isheenis mana Zakkaariyaas seentee Elsaabeexin nagaa gaafatte.
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit:
Elsaabeexis yommuu nagaa Maariyaam dhageessetti mucaan sun gadameessa ishee keessa uʼutaale. Elsaabeexis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ni guutamte.
42 And she spoke 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 why is this granted 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 greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
Kunoo, akkuma sagaleen nagaa keetii gurra koo seeneen ulfi gadameessa koo keessa jiru gammachuun utaaleera.
45 And blessed is she that believed: that there shall be a performance 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 doth magnify the Lord,
Maariyaamis akkana jette: “Lubbuun koo Gooftaadhaaf ulfina kenniti;
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
hafuurri koos fayyisaa koo Waaqatti ni gammada;
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
inni salphina garbittii isaa argeeraatii. Kunoo ammaa jalqabee dhaloonni hundinuu eebbifamtuu naan jedha;
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
Inni humna qabeessi sun waan guddaa naa godheeraatii; maqaan isaa qulqulluu dha.
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
Araarri isaas warra isa sodaataniif dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti itti fufa.
51 He hath shown strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Inni irree isaatiin hojiiwwan gurguddaa hojjeteera; of tuultotas yaada garaa isaaniitiin bittinneesseera.
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
Bulchitoota teessoo isaanii irraa buuseera; gad of qabeeyyii garuu ol kaaseera.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent away empty.
Warra beelaʼan waan gaariidhaan quufseera; sooreyyii garuu harka duwwaa deebiseera.
54 He hath helped his servant Israel, 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 Elisabeth’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 neighbours and her cousins heard that the Lord had shown great mercy upon 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 called him Zacharias, 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 answered and 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 none 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 called.
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 marvelled.
Innis gabatee irratti barreessu kadhatee, “Maqaan isaa Yohannis” jedhee barreesse; hundi isaaniis ni dinqifatan.
64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, and praised 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 sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
Olloonni isaanii hundinuu sodaadhaan guutaman; wanni kunis baddaa biyya Yihuudaa hunda keessatti odeeffame.
66 And all they that had heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And 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 his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Zakkaariyaas abbaan Yohannis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutamee akkana jedhees raajii dubbate:
68 Blessed be the Lord 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 an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
Inni mana garbicha isaa mana Daawit keessatti gaanfa fayyinaa nuuf kaaseera;
akkuma afaan raajota isaa qulqulloota duriitiin dubbatetti (aiōn g165)
71 That we should be saved 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 perform the mercy promised to 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 our father Abraham,
inni abbaa keenya Abrahaamiif kakate yaadachuudhaaf,
74 That he would grant to us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve 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 the days of our life.
akka nu bara jireenya keenyaa guutuu qulqullinaa fi qajeelinaan, fuula isaa duratti tajaajilluuf waan kana godhe.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go 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 by 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; with which the dayspring 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 them that sit in darkness and in 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 became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel.
Mucichis guddatee hafuuraan jabaachaa deeme; hamma guyyaa saba Israaʼelitti mulʼateettis gammoojjii keessa jiraate.
