Luka 2
1 A waɗancan kwanaki, Kaisar Augustus ya ba da doka cewa ya kamata a yi ƙidaya a dukan masarautar Roma.
And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole world should be enrolled.
2 (Wannan ce ƙidaya ta fari da aka yi a lokacin da Kwiriniyus yake gwamnar Suriya.)
This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria.
3 Sai kowa ya koma garinsa don a rubuta shi.
And all went to be enrolled, every one into 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 of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, 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 enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
6 Yayinda suke can, sai lokacin haihuwar jaririn ya yi,
And it came to pass, that when they were there, her days were accomplished, that she should be delivered.
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 firstborn son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a 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 in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches 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 behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them; and they feared with a 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 bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people:
11 Yau a birnin Dawuda an haifa muku Mai Ceto; shi ne Kiristi Ubangiji.
For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
12 Wannan zai zama alama a gare ku. Za ku tarar da jariri a nannaɗe a zane kwance a kwami.”
And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid 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 army, 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 to men of good will.
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, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed 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 they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
17 Sa’ad da suka gan shi, sai suka baza maganar da aka gaya musu game da yaron,
And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.
18 duk kuwa waɗanda suka ji wannan, suka yi mamaki a kan abin da makiyayan suka faɗa.
And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.
19 Amma Maryamu ta riƙe dukan waɗannan abubuwa ta kuma yi ta tunaninsu a zuciyarta.
But Mary kept all these words, 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 the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto 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 after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel, before he was 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 after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried 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 opening 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 as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, 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 named Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Ghost was in him.
26 An bayyana masa ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki cewa ba zai mutu ba sai ya ga Kiristi na Ubangiji.
And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
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 by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
28 sai Siman ya karɓi yaron a hannuwansa ya yabi Allah, yana cewa,
He also took 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.
Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;
30 Gama idanuna sun ga cetonka,
Because my 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 to the 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 were wondering at those things which were spoken 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: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted;
35 ta haka za a fallasa tunanin zukatan mutane da yawa. Ke ma, takobi zai soki zuciyarki.”
And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.
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 one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; she was far advanced in years, and had 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 she was a widow until fourscore and four years; who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.
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.
Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord; and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.
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 after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their 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, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him.
41 Kowace shekara, iyayen Yesu sukan je Urushalima don Bikin Ƙetarewa.
And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch,
42 Da Yesu ya cika shekaru goma sha biyu, sai suka tafi Bikin bisa ga al’ada.
And when he was twelve years old, they going up into 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 having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not.
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.
And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day’s journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.
45 Da ba su gan shi ba, sai suka koma Urushalima nemansa.
And not finding him, they returned into 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, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 Dukan waɗanda suka ji shi, suka yi mamakin fahimtarsa, da amsoshinsa.
And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his 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 seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 Sai ya ce, “Don me kuke nemana? Ba ku san cewa, dole in kasance a gidan Ubana ba?”
And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father’s business?
50 Amma ba su fahimci abin da yake faɗin musu ba.
And they understood not the word that he spoke unto 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 was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words 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 age, and grace with God and men.
