Luke 2
1 Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
Eta guerta cedin egun hetan ethor baitzedin ordenança-bat Cesar Augustoren partez, scribuz iar ledin mundua oro.
2 This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
(Lehen descriptione haur eguin cedin Cyrenius Syriaco gobernadore cenean)
3 All went to enrol themselves, everyone to his own city.
Eta ioaiten ciraden guciac scributan iartera, batbedera cein bere hirirát.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
Igan cedin bada Ioseph-ere Galileatic, Nazaretheco hiritic, Iudeara, Dauid-en ciuitate Bethlehem deitzen denera (ceren baitzén Dauid-en etchetic eta arraçatic)
5 to enrol himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
Scributan iar ledinçát Maria emaztetan eman içan çayonarequin, cein baitzén içorra.
6 While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
Eta guertha cedin hec han ciradela, compli baitzitecen haren ertzeco egunac.
7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Eta erdi cedin bere seme lehen iayoaz, eta bandatoz trocha ceçan hura, eta eçar ceçan mangederán, ceren ezpaitzén hayendaco lekuric ostalerián.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Eta ciraden comarca berean artzain campoetan ceunçanac, eta gauazco veillác bere arthaldearen gainean beguiratzen cituztenac.
9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Eta huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä vstegaberic ethor cequién, eta Iaunaren gloriác argui ceçan hayén inguruän, eta icidura handiz ici citecen.
10 The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
11 For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
Ecen Dauid-en ciuitatean iayo çaiçuela Saluadorea, cein baita Christ Iauna.
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
Eta haur vkanen duçue seignale, eridenen baituçue haourra bandatoz trochatua, mangederán eçarria.
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
Eta bertan Aingueruärequin eguin cedin armada celestial multzobat, laudatzen çutela Iaincoa, eta cioitela,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will towards men.”
Gloria ceru guciz goretan Iaincoari, eta lurrean baque, guiçonac baithara vorondate ona.
15 When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Eta guertha cedin, hetaric Aingueruäc cerurat ioan ciradenean, erran baitzeçaten artzainec elkarren artean, Goacen bada Bethlehemerano, eta dacussagun eguin içan den gauça haur, cein Iaunac iaquin eraci baitraucu.
16 They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Eta ethor citecen lehiatuqui, eta eriden citzaten Maria eta Ioseph, eta haourtchoa mangederán eçarria.
17 When they saw it, they publicised widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Eta ikussi vkan çutenean, publica ceçaten haourtchoaz erran içan çayena.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Eta ençun vkan cituzten guciéc mirets ceçaten hæy artzainéz erran içan çaizten gaucén gainean.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Eta Mariac beguiratzen cituen gauça hauc guciac, bere bihotzean ehaiten cituela.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Eta itzul citecen artzainac, glorificatzen eta laudatzen çutela Iaincoa, ençun eta ikussi vkan cituzten gauça guciéz, erran içan cayen beçala.
21 When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Eta complitu içan ciradenean haourtchoaren circonciditzeco çortzi egunac, orduan deithu içan da haren icena Iesus, nola deithu içan baitzén Aingueruäz, sabelean concebi cedin baino lehen.
22 When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
Eta complitu içan ciradenean Mariaren purificationeco egunac Moysesen leguearen arauez, eraman ceçaten haourtchoa, Ierusalemera, Iaunari presenta lieçotençát.
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
(Nola baita scribatua Iaunaren Leguean, Ar vme-vncia irequiten duen gucia, saindu Iaunari deithuren çayó)
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
Eta eman leçatençát oblationea, Iaunaren Leguean erran denaren araura, turturela pare-bat, edo bi vsso columba vme.
25 Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
Eta huná, cen guiçombat Ierusalemen Simeon deitzen cenic: eta cen guiçon haur iusto eta Iaincoaren beldur, Israeleco consolationearen beguira cegoena: eta Spiritu saindua cen haren gainean.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Eta denuntiatu içan çayón diuinoqui Spiritu sainduaz, etzuela herioric ikussiren, non lehen ikus ezleçan Christ Iaunarena.
27 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
Hura bada ethor cedin Spirituaz mouituric templera: eta sartzen çutela Iesus haourra bere aita-améc, haren causaz eguin leçatencát Legueco costumaren araura:
28 then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
Harc orduan har ceçan hura bere bessoetara, eta lauda ceçan Iaincoa, eta erran ceçan,
29 “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
Iauna, orain vtziten duc eure cerbitzaria, eure hitzaren araura baquez.
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
Ecen ikussi dié ene beguiéc hire saluagarria,
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
Cein preparatu baituc populu gucién beguitharte aitzinean.
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
Argui Gentiley arguitzecoa, eta Israeléco hire populuaren gloriá.
33 Joseph and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
Eta haren aita eta ama miraz ceuden harçaz erraiten ciraden gaucéz.
34 Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
Eta benedica citzan Simeonec, eta erran cieçón haren ama Mariari, Huná, eçarri içan dun haur anhitzen destructionetan, eta anhitzen resurrectionetan Israelen, eta signotan ceini nehor contrastaturen baitzayo:
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
Are eurorren arima-ere iraganen din ezpata batec, aguer ditecençát anhitz bihotzetaco pensamenduac.
36 There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
Bacén prophetessabat-ere Anna deitzen cenic Phanuel-en alaba, Aser-en leinuco, cein baitzén ia adin handitacoa, eta vici içan cen senharrarequin çazpi vrthez bere virginitateaz gueroztic.
37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.
Eta lauroguey eta laur vrtheren inguruco alharguna celaric, etzen partitzen templetic, barurez eta orationez cerbitzatzen çuela Iaincoa gau eta egun.
38 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
Hunec-ere bada ordu berean ethorriric, laudatzen çuen Iauna, eta harçaz minço çayen redemptionearen beguira Ierusalemen ceuden guciey.
39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
Eta acabatu çutenean gucia Iaunaren Leguearen araura, itzul citecen Galileara, bere Nazaretheco hirira.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Eta haourtchoa handitzen cen eta spirituz fortificatzen, eta bethatzen cen sapientiaz: eta Iaincoaren gratiá cen haren gainean.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
Eta ioaiten ciraden haren aita-amác vrthe oroz Ierusalemera Bazco bestán.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
Eta hamabi vrthetara heldu cenean, igan citecen hec Ierusalemera bestaco costumaren arauez:
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,
Eta hartaco egunac complitu ciradenean, hec itzultzen ciradela, azquen cedin Iesus haourra Ierusalemen: eta etzaquión ohart Ioseph, ez bere ama:
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him amongst their relatives and acquaintances.
Baina vstez hura compainian cen, ioan citecen egun baten bidean: eta haren bilha çabiltzan ahaidén eta eçagunén artean.
45 When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
Eta erideiten etzutenean, bihur citecen Ierusalemera, haren bilha çabiltzala.
46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
Eta guertha cedin, hirur egunen buruän eriden baitzeçaten hura templean, iarriric cegoela doctoren artean, hæy behatzen çayela eta hec interrogatzen cituela.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Eta spantatzen ciraden hura ençuten çutén guciac, haren iaquinaren eta respostuén gainean.
48 When they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”
Eta hura ikussiric spanta citecen: eta erran cieçón bere amác, Semé, cergatic horrela eguin draucuc? huná, hire aita eta ni keichuric hire bilha guiniabiltzán.
49 He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
Orduan dioste, Cergatic da ene bilha baitzinabiltzaten? etzinaquitén ecen neure Aitaren eguitecoetan occupatua behar dudala içan?
50 They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Baina hec etzeçaten adi erran cerauen hitza.
51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Orduan iauts cedin hequin, eta ethor cedin Nazarethera: eta cen hayen suiet: eta haren amac beguiratzen cituen hitz hauc gucioc bere bihotzean.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
Eta Iesus auançatzen cen sapientiaz eta handitzez, eta gratiaz Iaincoa baithan eta guiçonac baithan.
