Luqaassa 2
1 He wode biitta bollan diza asi wurikka taybeettidi xafistana mala orome kawo Awuggisxxossafe awajjay kezides:
Just at this time an edict was issued by Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole Empire.
2 Hessikka Qerenewoossa geetettizaysi Soore giza dere haariza wode hannida koyro dere taybo.
It was the first registration made during the governorship of Quirinius in Syria;
3 Hessa gish asi wuri xafistanaas ba dere biddes.
and all went to be registered--every one to the town to which he belonged.
4 Yosefoykka asho dabbotethan Daawute bagafe gididda gish Galila awurajja garssan diza Naazirete katamappe Yuda awurajja Beettaleme geetettiza Daawute katamappe yidees.
So Joseph went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judaea, to David's town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
5 Izi xafistana bishin izas giigistada yelana matida Maaramira biddes.
to have himself registered together with Mary, who was betrothed to him and was with child.
6 Izetikka heen dishin izis yelo wodey gakkides.
But while they were there, her full time came,
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 first-born son, and wrapped Him round, 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.
Now there were shepherds in the same part of the country, keeping watch over their sheep by night in the open fields,
9 Goda kiitanchaykka istako yides, Goda boncho poo7oykka ista lanqqen yuuyi aadhdhannas po7ides. Istika keehi dagammida gish,
when suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they were filled with terror.
10 kiitanchay ista “babofite, wurso asas gidiza gita ufaysa miishshrachcho ekka yadis.
But the angel said to them, "Put away all fear; for I am bringing you good news of great joy--joy for all the People.
11 Hach kawo Daawute katama Beettalemen shemppo dhaley yellettidees. Izikka Goda kirstosa geetettees.
For a Saviour who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David.
12 Cariqqara xaxeti zin7ida gaccino na demmanddista hessikka intes malaata gido gides.”
And this is the token for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."
13 Izarakka hara daro salo kiitanchati beettidda. Xoossa galatishe,
And immediately there was with the angel a multitude of the army of Heaven praising God and saying,
14 bolla salon Xoossassi bonchoy gido sarotethaykka biitta bollan izi dosiza asas wursos gido gida.
"Glory be to God in the highest Heavens, And on earth peace among men who please Him!"
15 Kiitanchati istafe shaakkettidi salo simmin dorsse heemizayti ba garsan issay issa “ane ha yite Goday nuus qonccisidaysanne haanddayssa Beistalame katama biiddi beyos” gida.
Then, as soon as the angels had left them and returned to Heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go over as far as Bethlehem and see this 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 made haste and came and found Mary and Joseph, with the babe lying in the manger.
17 Beyddaysafe guyyen Goda kiitanchay naaza gish istas yoottidayssa wursi zari yottida.
And when they saw the child, they told what had been said to them about Him;
18 Heemizayti yoottidayssa siyida asay wuri keehi malalettides.
and all who listened were astonished at what the shepherds told them.
19 Gido attin Maarama yoza wurssa ba wozinan wotha dentha qoppashe gam7adus.
But Mary treasured up all these things, often dwelling on them in her mind.
20 Heemizaytika handdays wurikka kiitanchay istas yoottida mala gididi beettidda gish siyidaysassine beyddayssas wursos Xoossa galatishenne bonchishshe simmida.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen in accordance with the announcement made to them.
21 naazi yelettin osppuntha gallassan qaxaretiza wodey gakin aayeya iza qanthatanappe kase kiitanchay gida mala Yesussa geetettidi suummidees.
When eight days had passed and the time for circumcising Him had come, He was called JESUS, the name given Him by the angel before His conception in the womb.
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 days for their purification appointed by the Law of Moses had passed, they took Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord--
as it is written in the Law of the Lord: "Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord."
24 qassekka Goda wogan nam77u wole kafotanne woykko nam77u wole kafo ciyista geetettiddayssa mala yarsho shiishanaassa.
And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord, "a pair of turtle doves 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 of the name of Symeon, an upright and God-fearing man, who 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.
To him it had been revealed by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death until he had seen the Lord's Anointed One.
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 came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do with regard to Him according to the custom of the Law,
28 Simonay naaza ekki idimmidi Xoossa galatishe,
he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
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.
"Now, O Sovereign Lord, Thou dost send Thy servant away in peace, in fulfilment of Thy word,
Because mine eyes have seen Thy salvation,
Which Thou hast made ready in the sight of all nations--
32 Haysika wurso deres geemmettidayssa qoncisiza poo7o, ne dere Isra7eleska boncho” gides.
A light to shine upon the Gentiles, And the glory of Thy people Israel."
33 Aawaynne aaya iza gish haasa7etida yozan malaletida.
And while the child's father and mother were wondering at the words of Symeon concerning 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.
Symeon blessed them and said to Mary the mother, "This child is appointed for the falling and the uprising of many in Israel and for a token to be spoken against;
35 Qassekka darota wozina qofay qonccana mala naaza michay qara mashsha mala ne wozina phaliqqana.
and a sword will pierce through your own soul also; that the reasonings in many hearts may be revealed."
36 Qassekka Aasseere bagafe Fanu7eele na Haana geetettiza cimmida nabey daysu, izaka ba koyro azinara laappun layth kumeth deyadus.
There was also Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, belonging to the tribe of Asher. She was of a very great age, having had after her maidenhood seven years of married life,
37 Laythay izis osppun tammanne oydu layth gidana gakkanaas qammane gallas xoomashene woossashe maqqdaseppe shaakketonta am77etethan gam77adus.
and then being a widow of eighty-four years. She was never absent from the Temple, but worshipped, by day and by night, with fasting and prayer.
38 He wodekka shiiqqada Xoossa galatadus. Yerusaleme wozetethi naagishe dizaytas wursos guutha naaza gish yootadus.
And coming up just at that moment, she gave thanks to God, and spoke about the child to all who were expecting the deliverance of Jerusalem.
39 Yoseforane Maaramira Goda wogan azazettidayssa polidi Galila awurajjan diza ba so Naazirete katama simmida.
Then, as soon as they had accomplished all that the Law required, 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 and full of wisdom, and the favour of God rested upon Him.
41 Aawaynne aaya laythan laythan faaziga bonchannas Yerusaleme beettes.
Now His parents used to go up year by year to Jerusalem at 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 as was customary at the time of the Feast, and,
43 Faziga baaleza wursidi ba so simmishn guutha naazi, Yesussay Yerusalemen attides. Yelidaytikka izi attiddayssa eribeeyttenna.
after staying the full number of days, when they started back home the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not discover this,
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.
but supposing Him to be in the travelling company, they proceeded a day's journey. Then they searched up and down for Him among their relatives and acquaintances;
45 Koyi koyidi beettontta ixiin Yerusaleme simmida.
but being unable to find Him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for Him.
46 Heezzu gallassafe guye maqqdasen tamarisizayta giddon uttidi siyishenne asata oychchishenne ista oychcha zarishe maqqdasen dishin demmida.
On the third day they found Him in the Temple sitting among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking them questions,
47 Siyidayti wuri Yesussa akekkaninne iza zarozan daro malaalettida.
while all who heard Him were astonished at His intelligence and at the answers He gave.
48 Yosefoyne Maarama iza beyida wode malaaletida. Maaramaka ta nazo ays hayssa mala oothadi? ne aawaynne taninne nena koyishe keehi metottettidos gadus.
When they saw Him, they were smitten with amazement, and His mother said to Him, "My child, why have you behaved thus to us? Your father and I have been searching for you in anguish."
49 Izikka zaaridi tana ays koydettii? Tani ta aawa keeththan daanas bessizaysa eribeykketi gides.
"Why is it that you have been searching for me?" He replied; "did you not know that it is my duty to be engaged upon my Father's business?"
50 Gido attin istas izi yoottidayssi gelibeynna.
But they did not understand the significance of these words.
51 Heeppe simmin istara issife Naazirete wodhidi istas azazettishe deyidees. Aaya Maaramaka he haanida miishsha wurssa ba wozinan naagashe gam7adus.
Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was always obedient to them; but His mother carefully treasured up all these incidents in her memory.
52 Yesussay cincatethan, geesaninne saban Xoossa sinthanne asa sinthan diccides.
And as Jesus grew older He gained in both wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
