< Lucas 2 >

1 Itatta, kadagidi nga al-aldaw, immay ti kanito nga ni Cesar Agusto ket nangipaulog iti linteg a mangibilbilin a masapul nga mailista amin nga tattao nga agbibiag iti lubong ti Roma.
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2 Daytoy ti kaunaan a panagpalista nga naaramid kabayatan a ni Kerinio ti gobernador idiay Syria.
( And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 Isu nga tunggal maysa ket napan iti bukodna nga ili tapno agpalista para iti dayta nga panagpalista.
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 Uray ni Jose ket pimmanaw manipud siudad ti Nazaret idiay Galilea ket nagdalyasat a napan iti ili nga Betlehem a sakop ti Judea, a mabigbig nga siudad ni David, agsipud ta isuna ket kaputotan nga nagtaud iti pamilia ni David.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; ( because he was of the house and lineage of David: )
5 Napan isuna idiay tapno agpalista a kadwana ni Maria, a naitulag nga asawaenna ken agur-uray iti panaganakna.
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 Itatta immay ti kanito nga kabayatan nga addada idiay, dimteng ti tiempo tapno ipasngayna ti anakna.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 Inpasngayna ti maysa a lalaki, ti inauna nga anakna, ket binalkotna a nasayaat itia akikid ng lupot. Sana inkabil iti kulluong, gapu ta awan ti kuarto a para kadakuada iti pagdagdagusan dagiti bisita.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Iti dayta met laeng a rehion, adda dagiti agpaspastor nga agnanaed iti away ken banbantayanda dagiti aguurnong a karneroda iti rabii.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 Pagammoan, nagparang kadakuada iti anghel ti Apo, ken ti dayag ti Apo ket linawaganna ti aglawlawda, ket napalalo ti butengda.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them: and they were in great fear.
10 Ket kinuna ti anghel kadakuada, “Saan kayo nga agbuteng, agsipud ta dandanin nga ibagak kadakayo ti naimbag a damag a mangiyeg iti dakkel nga ragsak kadagiti amin a tattao.
And the angel said to them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 Ita adda mangisalakan nga naipasngay para kadakayo iti siudad ni David! Isuna ni Kristo nga Apo!
For to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
12 Daytoy ti pagilasinan a maited kadakayo, masarakanyonto ti maysa a maladaga a nabalkot iti akikid a lupot nga nakaidda iti kulluong.”
And this shall be a sign to you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 Pagammoan, adda naitipon iti anghel nga adu a bilang ti nainlangitan a soldado nga agdaydayaw iti Dios, a kunkunada,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 “Gloria iti Dios nga adda iti kangatoan, ken maadda koma ti kapia ditoy daga kadagiti tattao nga pakaay-aywanna.”
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 Apaman a nakapanawen dagiti anghel manipud kadakuada a napandan idiay langit, kinuna dagiti agpaspastor iti tunggal maysa, “Intayo itan idiay Betlehem, ken intayo kitaen daytoy a banag nga napasamak, nga impakaammo ti Apo kadatayo.”
And it came to pass, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.
16 Nagdardarasda a napan idiay ket nasarakanda ni Maria ken ni Jose, ken nakitada ti maladaga nga nakaidda iti kulluong.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 Kalpasan nga nakitada daytoy, impakaammoda kadagiti tattao no ania ti naibaga kadakuada maipapan iti daytoy nga ubing.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 Ket nagsiddaaw amin a nakangngeg iti imbaga dagiti agpaspastor kadakuada.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 Ngem pinanpanunot ni Maria ti maipapan kadagiti amin nga banbanag a nangngeganna, ket sinalimetmetanna dagitoy iti pusona.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 Nagsubli dagiti agpaspastor nga intantan-ok ken indaydayawda ti Dios gapu kadagiti amin a nangngegan ken nakitada, a kas iti naibaga kadakuada.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told to them.
21 Idi maikawalo nga aldaw ken isu ti tiempo a pannakakugit ti ubing, pinanagananda isuna iti Hesus, ti nagan nga inted ti anghel sakbay ti pannakaisikogna.
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, who was so named by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Idi nalpas ti kasapulan nga bilang ti aldaw a para iti pannakadalusda, a sigun iti linteg ni Moises, inyeg da Jose ken Maria ti anakda a maladaga a lalaki iti templo idiay Jerusalem tapno isagutda iti Apo.
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
23 Kas naisurat iti linteg ti Apo, “Tunggal inauna nga anak a lalaki ket maawagan nga nasantoan iti Dios.”
( As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
24 Immayda pay tapno agidaton da iti sagot a sigun iti naibaga iti linteg ti Apo, “maysa nga pares ti kalapati wenno dua a sibong nga kalapati.”
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.
25 Kitaen, adda maysa a lalaki manipud Jerusalem nga agnagan ti Simeon. Daytoy nga lalaki ket nalinteg ken napapati iti Dios. Isu ket agur-uray iti mangliwliwa iti Israel, ken adda kenkuana ti Espiritu Santo.
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 Naipakaammo kenkuana ti Espiritu Santo nga saan pay a matay agingga nga dina makita ti Kristo iti Apo.
And it was revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Maysa nga aldaw immay isuna idiay templo, babaen iti panangidalan ti Espiritu Santo. Idi impan dagiti nagannakna ti ubing, a ni Hesus, tapno aramidenda para kenkuana no ania ti kadawyan nga kidkiddawen ti linteg,
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28 ket inubba ni Simeon ti ubing, ken nagdayaw iti Dios ket kinunana,
Then he took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 “Ita palubusam toy adipenmo nga pumanaw a sitatalna, Apo, a kas kunam iti saom.
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 Agsipud ta nakita dagiti matak ti panangisalakanmo,
For my eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 nga insaganam iti imatang dagiti amin nga tattao.
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 Agbalinto a silaw a mangiparangarang iti kinapudno kadagiti Hentil ken agbalin nga dayag dagiti tattaom nga Israel.”
A light to enlighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Nagsiddaaw ti ama ken ina ti ubing kadagiti banbanag a naibaga maipanggep iti ubing.
And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken concerning him.
34 Ket binendisionan ida ni Simeon ken kinunana ken ni Maria nga inana, “Dumngegka a nasayaat! Daytoy nga ubing ket naituding a pakatinnagan ken pakabangonan dagiti adu nga tattao iti Israel ken pagilasinan a masuppiat.
And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35 Maysa pay, sugatento ti kampilan ti kararuam, tapno dagiti kapanunotan manipud kadagiti adu nga puspuso ket maiparangarang.”
( And, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 Maysa nga propeta a babai nga agnagan ti Ana ket adda met idiay. Isuna ket anak ni Fanuel a nagtaud iti tribu ni Asher. Pirmi nga nabaketan isunan. Nagdennada iti asawana iti pito nga tawen kalpasan ti pannakikallaysana,
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 ken balo isuna iti walopulo ket uppat nga tawen. Saan isuna nga pulos a pimmanaw iti templo ket kanayon nga agdaydayaw iti Dios babaen ti panagayunar ken panagkarkararag, iti rabii ken aldaw.
And she was a widow of about eighty and four years, who departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 Iti dayta met laeng a kanito, immasideg isuna kadakuada ken rinugianna ti nagyaman iti Dios. Imbagana ti maipapan iti ubing kadagiti amin nga agur-uray iti pannakasubbot ti Jerusalem.
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Idin ta nalpasda nga inaramid ti amin a banag a kinasapulan nga aramidenda a kas kinuna ti linteg ti Apo, nagsublida iti Galilea, iti bukodda nga siudad, a Nazaret.
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 Dimmakkel ti ubing ken nagbalin nga napigsa, nanayonan ti kinasiribna, ken adda kenkuana ti parabur iti Dios.
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Tinawen nga mapmapan dagiti nagannakna idiay Jerusalem tapno makipagrambakda iti Fiesta ti Ilalabas.
Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 Idi agtawen isuna ti sangapulo ket dua, simang-atda manen a kas kadawyan nga ar-aramidenda iti tiempo ti fiesta.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
43 Kalpasan a nagianda idiay agingga a nalpas ti aldaw ti fiesta, inrugidan ti nagsubli iti pagtaenganda. Ngem ti ubing a ni Hesus ket nagbati idiay Jerusalem a saan nga ammo dagiti nagannakna.
And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 Inpagarupda a naikuyog isuna kadagiti bunggoy a makipagdaldalyasat kadakuada, isu nga nagdalyasatda iti uneg ti maysa nga aldaw. Ket inrugida ti nagbirok kenkuana kadagiti kakabagian ken gagayyemda.
But they, supposing him to be in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 Ket idi saanda nga mabirukan isuna, nagsublida idiay Jerusalem ket rinugianda nga biniruk isuna sadiay.
And when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Iti napasamak ket kalpasan iti tallo nga aldaw, nasarakanda isuna iti templo, agtugtugaw iti tengnga dagiti manursuro, dudumngeg kadakuada ken agsalsaludsod kadakuada.
And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 Amin nga nakangngeg kenkuana ket nasdaaw iti pannakaawatna ken kadagiti sungbatna.
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 Idi nakitada isuna, nasdaawda. Kinuna ti inana kenkuana, “Anakko, apay nga kastoy ti panangtratom kadakami? Dumngegka, ni amam ken siak ket nagdandanag nga nangbirbiruk kenka.”
And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 Kinunana kadakuada, “Apay nga birbirukendak? Diyo kadi ammo a masapul nga addaak iti balay ni Amak?”
And he said to them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
50 Ngem saanda nga naawatan ti kayatna nga sawen kadagidiay nga sasao.
And they understood not the saying which he spoke to them.
51 Ket nagawid isuna a kaduada idiay Nazaret ken natulnog kadakuada. Sinalemetmetan amin ni Maria dagitoy a banbanag iti pusona.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Ngem nagtultuloy ni Hesus a dimakkel iti kinasirib ken bagi, ken nanayonan a naay-ayo kenkuana ti Dios ken dagiti tattao.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
