Luqaassa 2
1 He wode biitta bollan diza asi wurikka taybeettidi xafistana mala orome kawo Awuggisxxossafe awajjay kezides:
Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.
2 Hessikka Qerenewoossa geetettizaysi Soore giza dere haariza wode hannida koyro dere taybo.
This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Hessa gish asi wuri xafistanaas ba dere biddes.
And everyone went to his own town to register.
4 Yosefoykka asho dabbotethan Daawute bagafe gididda gish Galila awurajja garssan diza Naazirete katamappe Yuda awurajja Beettaleme geetettiza Daawute katamappe yidees.
So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David.
5 Izi xafistana bishin izas giigistada yelana matida Maaramira biddes.
He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.
6 Izetikka heen dishin izis yelo wodey gakkides.
While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.
7 Izaka koyro attumma na yeliddaysafe guye imathi aqqizza keeththan aqqizza soy bayndda gish naaza carqqara xaaxadda miiza gaaxotan zin7adus.
And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Beettaleme achchan dorssa heemiza asati dorssa naagishe qammaara karen aqqizzayti deetees.
And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
9 Goda kiitanchaykka istako yides, Goda boncho poo7oykka ista lanqqen yuuyi aadhdhannas po7ides. Istika keehi dagammida gish,
Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 kiitanchay ista “babofite, wurso asas gidiza gita ufaysa miishshrachcho ekka yadis.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:
11 Hach kawo Daawute katama Beettalemen shemppo dhaley yellettidees. Izikka Goda kirstosa geetettees.
Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
12 Cariqqara xaxeti zin7ida gaccino na demmanddista hessikka intes malaata gido gides.”
And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Izarakka hara daro salo kiitanchati beettidda. Xoossa galatishe,
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:
14 bolla salon Xoossassi bonchoy gido sarotethaykka biitta bollan izi dosiza asas wursos gido gida.
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
15 Kiitanchati istafe shaakkettidi salo simmin dorsse heemizayti ba garsan issay issa “ane ha yite Goday nuus qonccisidaysanne haanddayssa Beistalame katama biiddi beyos” gida.
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 Istika elelli biiddi Maaramira, Yosefora mehe kath muziza gonggen zin7ida naara demmida.
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.
17 Beyddaysafe guyyen Goda kiitanchay naaza gish istas yoottidayssa wursi zari yottida.
After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.
18 Heemizayti yoottidayssa siyida asay wuri keehi malalettides.
And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
19 Gido attin Maarama yoza wurssa ba wozinan wotha dentha qoppashe gam7adus.
But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
20 Heemizaytika handdays wurikka kiitanchay istas yoottida mala gididi beettidda gish siyidaysassine beyddayssas wursos Xoossa galatishenne bonchishshe simmida.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
21 naazi yelettin osppuntha gallassan qaxaretiza wodey gakin aayeya iza qanthatanappe kase kiitanchay gida mala Yesussa geetettidi suummidees.
When the eight days until His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He had been conceived.
22 Muse woga mala isti geeyiza wodey wurini Yosefoyne Maarama guutha na Yesussa Godaa Xoossa sinthe shiishanas ekkidi Yerusaleme kezida. Hessika Goda wogan koyro yelettiza addey wuri Godas dumma gidana geetettidi Xafetidayssa polanaasinne,
And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),
24 qassekka Goda wogan nam77u wole kafotanne woykko nam77u wole kafo ciyista geetettiddayssa mala yarsho shiishanaassa.
and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25 He wode Yerusaleme kataman xilloonne Xoossa babbiza issi Simona geetettiza asi dees, izikka Isra7eele nayta attotetha naagiza asane xillo ayyaanany iza bolla shemppida asa.
Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 Qassekka kirstossa beyontta dishe hayqqonta mala xillo ayyaanany izas qonccides.
The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Izika he wode xillo ayyaanany kaalethin maqqdase lasha gaath gelidees. Naaza aayeyiranne aawara Muse wogan bessizayssa polanaas guutha na Yesussa ekkidi gelida wode,
Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,
28 Simonay naaza ekki idimmidi Xoossa galatishe,
Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
29 “Godo, ne caaqqida qaala mala ha7i tani ne ayylleya ne ashshizzayssa ta ayfera beyidda gish hi7a tana saron ekka, asa wurso sinthan ne giigisida attotetha ha7i ta ta ayfera beyadis.
“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
32 Haysika wurso deres geemmettidayssa qoncisiza poo7o, ne dere Isra7eleska boncho” gides.
a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
33 Aawaynne aaya iza gish haasa7etida yozan malaletida.
The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
34 Simonaykka ista anjjidees, Maaramokka “daro asa wozina qofay qonccana mala haysi Isra7eelen diza darotas dhayosinne atethas, iza ixxizaytas qasse malaata gidana mala doorettides” gides.
Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,
35 Qassekka darota wozina qofay qonccana mala naaza michay qara mashsha mala ne wozina phaliqqana.
so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
36 Qassekka Aasseere bagafe Fanu7eele na Haana geetettiza cimmida nabey daysu, izaka ba koyro azinara laappun layth kumeth deyadus.
There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,
37 Laythay izis osppun tammanne oydu layth gidana gakkanaas qammane gallas xoomashene woossashe maqqdaseppe shaakketonta am77etethan gam77adus.
and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
38 He wodekka shiiqqada Xoossa galatadus. Yerusaleme wozetethi naagishe dizaytas wursos guutha naaza gish yootadus.
Coming forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 Yoseforane Maaramira Goda wogan azazettidayssa polidi Galila awurajjan diza ba so Naazirete katama simmida.
When Jesus’ parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
40 Guutha naazikka diccidi minni minni biddes, eratethankka kumides, Xoossa aaro keyatethaykka iza bolla dees.
And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
41 Aawaynne aaya laythan laythan faaziga bonchannas Yerusaleme beettes.
Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
42 Naazas laythay tammanne nam77u layth kumida wode kase dose gididayssa mala faaziga bonchanna kezida.
And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.
43 Faziga baaleza wursidi ba so simmishn guutha naazi, Yesussay Yerusalemen attides. Yelidaytikka izi attiddayssa eribeeyttenna.
When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed.
44 Benara issife biza oge asara dees gishe issi gallassa oge bida. Gido attin izi istara baynddaysa eridi ba dabbota achchanne laggeta achchan dizakkonne giidi koyida.
Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.
45 Koyi koyidi beettontta ixiin Yerusaleme simmida.
When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.
46 Heezzu gallassafe guye maqqdasen tamarisizayta giddon uttidi siyishenne asata oychchishenne ista oychcha zarishe maqqdasen dishin demmida.
Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47 Siyidayti wuri Yesussa akekkaninne iza zarozan daro malaalettida.
And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.
48 Yosefoyne Maarama iza beyida wode malaaletida. Maaramaka ta nazo ays hayssa mala oothadi? ne aawaynne taninne nena koyishe keehi metottettidos gadus.
When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”
49 Izikka zaaridi tana ays koydettii? Tani ta aawa keeththan daanas bessizaysa eribeykketi gides.
“Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”
50 Gido attin istas izi yoottidayssi gelibeynna.
But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.
51 Heeppe simmin istara issife Naazirete wodhidi istas azazettishe deyidees. Aaya Maaramaka he haanida miishsha wurssa ba wozinan naagashe gam7adus.
Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
52 Yesussay cincatethan, geesaninne saban Xoossa sinthanne asa sinthan diccides.
And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
