Luka 2
1 A waɗancan kwanaki, Kaisar Augustus ya ba da doka cewa ya kamata a yi ƙidaya a dukan masarautar Roma.
But it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census should be made of all the habitable world.
2 (Wannan ce ƙidaya ta fari da aka yi a lokacin da Kwiriniyus yake gwamnar Suriya.)
The census itself first took place when Cyrenius had the government of Syria.
3 Sai kowa ya koma garinsa don a rubuta shi.
And all went to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his own city:
4 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.
and Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city Nazareth to Judaea, to David's city, the which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 Ya tafi can don a rubuta shi tare da Maryamu, wadda aka yi masa alkawari zai aura, tana kuwa da ciki.
to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him [as his] wife, she being great with child.
6 Yayinda suke can, sai lokacin haihuwar jaririn ya yi,
And it came to pass, while they were there, the days of her giving birth [to her child] were fulfilled,
7 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.
and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him up in swaddling-clothes and laid him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Akwai makiyaya masu zama a fili kusa da wurin, suna tsaron garkunan tumakinsu da dare.
And there were shepherds in that country abiding without, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 Sai wani mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana gare su, ɗaukakar Ubangiji kuma ta haskaka kewaye da su, suka kuwa tsorata ƙwarai.
And lo, an angel of [the] Lord was there by them, and [the] glory of [the] Lord shone around them, and they feared [with] great fear.
10 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.
And the angel said to them, Fear not, for behold, I announce to you glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people;
11 Yau a birnin Dawuda an haifa muku Mai Ceto; shi ne Kiristi Ubangiji.
for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David's city, who is Christ [the] Lord.
12 Wannan zai zama alama a gare ku. Za ku tarar da jariri a nannaɗe a zane kwance a kwami.”
And this is the sign to you: ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and lying in a manger.
13 Ba labari sai ga taron rundunar sama suka bayyana tare da mala’ikan, suna yabon Allah suna cewa,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
14 “Ɗaukaka ga Allah a can cikin sama, a duniya kuma salama ga mutane waɗanda tagomashinsa yake bisansu.”
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good pleasure in men.
15 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.”
And it came to pass, as the angels departed from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, Let us make our way then now as far as Bethlehem, and let us see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
16 Sai suka tafi da sauri, suka tarar da Maryamu da Yusuf, da kuma jaririn kwance a kwami.
And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger;
17 Sa’ad da suka gan shi, sai suka baza maganar da aka gaya musu game da yaron,
and having seen [it] they made known about the country the thing which had been said to them concerning this child.
18 duk kuwa waɗanda suka ji wannan, suka yi mamaki a kan abin da makiyayan suka faɗa.
And all who heard [it] wondered at the things said to them by the shepherds.
19 Amma Maryamu ta riƙe dukan waɗannan abubuwa ta kuma yi ta tunaninsu a zuciyarta.
But Mary kept all these things [in her mind], pondering [them] in her heart.
20 Makiyayan kuwa suka koma, suna ɗaukaka suna kuma yabon Allah saboda dukan abubuwan da suka ji, suka kuma gani, yadda aka gaya musu.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen, as it had been said to them.
21 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.
And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, which was the name given by the angel before he had been conceived in the womb.
22 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
And when the days were fulfilled for their purifying according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem to present [him] to the Lord
23 (yadda yake a rubuce a Dokar Ubangiji cewa, “Kowane ɗan fari, za a keɓe shi ga Ubangiji”),
(as it is written in the law of [the] Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
24 don kuma su miƙa hadaya bisa ga abin da aka faɗa a Dokar Ubangiji cewa, “kurciyoyi biyu ko’yan tattabarai biyu.”
and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of [the] Lord: A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.
25 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.
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and [the] Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 An bayyana masa ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki cewa ba zai mutu ba sai ya ga Kiristi na Ubangiji.
And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see [the] Lord's Christ.
27 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,
And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law,
28 sai Siman ya karɓi yaron a hannuwansa ya yabi Allah, yana cewa,
he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 “Ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, kamar yadda ka yi alkawari, yanzu ka sallami bawanka lafiya.
Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;
30 Gama idanuna sun ga cetonka,
for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 wanda ka shirya a gaban dukan mutane,
which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 haske don bayyanawa ga Al’ummai da kuma ɗaukaka ga mutanenka Isra’ila.”
a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.
33 Mahaifin yaron da kuma mahaifiyarsa suka yi mamaki abin da aka faɗa game da shi.
And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him.
34 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,
And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Lo, this [child] is set for the fall and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against;
35 ta haka za a fallasa tunanin zukatan mutane da yawa. Ke ma, takobi zai soki zuciyarki.”
(and even a sword shall go through thine own soul; ) so that [the] thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.
36 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,
And there was a prophetess, Anna, daughter of Phanuel, of [the] tribe of Asher, who was far advanced in years, having lived with [her] husband seven years from her virginity,
37 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.
and herself a widow up to eighty-four years; who did not depart from the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers;
38 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.
and she coming up the same hour gave praise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who waited for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Bayan da Yusuf da Maryamu suka gama yin dukan abubuwan da Dokar Ubangiji ta bukaci, sai suka koma Galili suka tafi Nazaret garinsu.
And when they had completed all things according to the law of [the] Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.
40 Yaron kuwa ya yi girma ya yi ƙarfi; ya cika da hikima, alherin Allah kuwa yana bisansa.
And the child grew and waxed strong [in spirit], filled with wisdom, and God's grace was upon him.
41 Kowace shekara, iyayen Yesu sukan je Urushalima don Bikin Ƙetarewa.
And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
42 Da Yesu ya cika shekaru goma sha biyu, sai suka tafi Bikin bisa ga al’ada.
And when he was twelve years old, and they went up [to Jerusalem] according to the custom of the feast
43 Bayan Bikin, da iyayen suka kama hanya don su koma gida, sai Yesu, yaron nan, ya tsaya a Urushalima, ba da saninsu ba.
and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not [of it];
44 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.
but, supposing him to be in the company that journeyed together, they went a day's journey, and sought him among their relations and acquaintances:
45 Da ba su gan shi ba, sai suka koma Urushalima nemansa.
and not having found him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him.
46 Bayan kwana uku, sai suka same shi a filin haikali zaune a tsakiyar malamai, yana sauraronsu yana kuma yi musu tambayoyi.
And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers and hearing them and asking them questions.
47 Dukan waɗanda suka ji shi, suka yi mamakin fahimtarsa, da amsoshinsa.
And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 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.”
And when they saw him they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Child, why hast thou dealt thus with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee distressed.
49 Sai ya ce, “Don me kuke nemana? Ba ku san cewa, dole in kasance a gidan Ubana ba?”
And he said to them, Why [is it] that ye have sought me? did ye not know that I ought to be [occupied] in my Father's business?
50 Amma ba su fahimci abin da yake faɗin musu ba.
And they understood not the thing that he said to them.
51 Sai ya koma Nazaret tare da su, yana yi musu biyayya. Mahaifiyarsa kuma ta riƙe dukan waɗannan abubuwa a zuciyarta.
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and he was in subjection to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
52 Yesu kuwa ya yi girma, ya kuma ƙaru cikin hikima, ya kuma sami tagomashi a wurin Allah da mutane.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
