Lioka 2
1 Nitsatok’ amy andro rezay te niboele mb’eo ty koi-dava’ i Aogosto Kaisara hanoeñe vali-boke amy ze kila ondaty.
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2 Izay ty vali-boke valoha’e nifototse ami’ty naha-bei’ i Siria i Kirenio.
([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 Aa le nañavelo hisokitse amy rova nihirifa’ey ze hene pato-razañe.
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 Niavotse ka t’Iosefe boake Galilia añe hirik’ an-drova Nazareta, le nimoake e Iehodà, an-drova’ i Davide atao Betleheme ao, amy t’ie tarira naho hasavereña’ i Davide,
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David: )
5 hisokitse; mindre ama’e t’i Marie valy fofo’e, ie fa bey troke.
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 Ie añe le tendreke ty andro hitolia’e,
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 le nahatoly ty lahilahy tañoloñoloña’e naho nifoloñose’e bandy vaho nampandre’e an-tsokemitrahañ’ ao, amy te tsy nahaeneñe i traño fanjoàn’ambahiniy.
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 Teo amy tane zay ty mpiarake nañialo am-piandrazañ’añe, niarake o lia-rai’eo haleñe.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 Tojo te nijohañe añatrefa’ iereo eo ty anjeli’ Iehovà, naho niarisehoa’e ami’ ty fireandream-bolonahe’ Iehovà, le hene nirevendreveñe.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 Aa le hoe i Anjeliy tam’iereo: Ko hembañe, Inao ty talili-soan-kafaleam-bey endeseko ama’areo, ho amy ze kila ondaty,
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 t’ie nisamake ho anahareo anindroany androva’ i Davide ao ty Mpandrombake, i Talè Norizañey.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 Le zao ty viloñe ho anahareo: ho zoe’ areo nifoloñoseñe bandi-leny ty ajajamena mandre an-tsokemitrahañ’ao.
And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 Tsipaepae’ izay nisodehañe mindre amy anjeliy i lahialen-dikerañey, nandrenge an’Andrianañahare, nanao rodo-bey ty hoe:
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Rengèñe t’i Andrianañahare andindimoneñe añe, naho fañanintsiñe am’ ondaty soa-satry an-tane atoio.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 Ie nienga mb’andindìñe mb’eo o anjelio le hoe ty nilahara’ o mpiarakeo: Antao ry kiahe mb’e Betleheme mb’eo hiisake i nitendrekey, i nampahafohine’ Iehovà an-tikañey.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 Nirapirapy mb’eo iereo, le nahaoniñe i Marie naho Iosefe vaho i ajajamena mandre an-tsokemitrahañey.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 Ie nahaoniñe aze, le nampaharendrehe’ iereo sikal’aia sikal’aia i natalily am’iereo ty amy ajajamenaiy.
And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 Le nilatsa iaby ze ondaty nahajanjiñe o nitalilia’ i mpiarake rey.
And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 F’ie hene nahaja’ i Marie, ie ninekonekoa’e añ’arofo’e ao.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart.
20 Nibalike o mpiarakeo, nañonjoñe naho nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare, ty amo hene jinanji’ iereo naho nioni’iereoo, amy nitaliliañey.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 Ie nilomoñe ty valo andro le nisavàreñe i Ajajay, vaho nitoñoneñe ty hoe Iesoà ty añara’e, i tahinañe natolo’ i anjeliy taolo ty nampiareñañ’ aze an-koviñe aoy.
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Ie heneke o androm-pieferañe aze ty amy Ha’ i Mosèio, le nindese’ iareo mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo, hatolotse amy Iehovà,
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 amy te pinatetse amy Ha’ Iehovày ao ty hoe, Ze hene lahy tañoloñoloñan’ anake ro avaheñe ho amy Iehovà
(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
24 vaho t’ie hañenga soroñe ty amy pinatetse amy Ha’ Iehovàiy ty hoe: Deho roe ndra ana-boromahilala roe.
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 Le teo ty androanavy nte Ierosaleme atao Simeona; vantañe naho mpitalaho. Nitamà ty fañohòañe Israele naho tama’e i Arofo Masiñey.
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [was] Simeon; and the same man [was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 Nentoe’ i Arofo Masiñey t’ie tsy ho liàn-kavilasy ampara’ te isa’e i Noriza’ i Talèy.
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Nimoak’ añ’ Anjomban’ Añahare ao re añamy Arofoy. Aa ie nindesen-droae’e t’Iesoà anak’ ajaja, hanoeñe ama’e ty nafè’ i Hake,
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 le notrotroe’e am-pità’e naho nisalale aman’ Añahare nanao ty ti-hoe:
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Ry Iehovà, avotsoro hiavotse an-kazavàn’ arofo henaneo o mpitoro’oo ty amy saontsi’oy;
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 fa nahatrea ty fandrombaha’o o masokoo,
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 i nihajarie’o añatrefa’ ze kila ondatiy,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 Failo fañazavàñe amo fifeheañeo, naho ty enge’ Israele, ondati’oo.
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Latsa amy zao ty rae’ i ajajay naho i rene’e amy nisaontsieñey;
And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
34 le nitata iareo t’i Simeona, vaho hoe re amy Marie rene’ i ajajay: Ingo, fa norizañe ho fihotrahañe naho fionjonañe ty maro e Israele ao ty ana’o toy, vaho ho viloñe liereñe;
And Simeon blessed them, and said unto 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 (eka ho trofahem-pibara ka ty tro’o), hampibentatse ty vetsevetsen’ arofo’ ty maro.
(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 Teo ka ty atao Ana mpitoky, anak-ampela’ i Fanoela, fifokoa’ i Asera; ie antetse, fito taoñe avao te nanambaly ami’ty naha somondrara aze;
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 fa vantotse valompolo taoñe efats’ amby i rakembay le lia’e tsy nisitak’ amy anjomban’ Añaharey, fa nitoroñ’aze an-dilitse, nitalaho handro an-kaleñe.
And she [was] a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 Ie nizilik’ ao amy oray le nandrenge Iehovà, vaho nitalily aze amy ze hene nitamà ty fijebañañe Ierosaleme.
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Ie nihenefe’iereo ze nafè’ ty Ha’ Iehovà, le nimpoly mb’e Galilia mb’e Nazareta tanà’ iareo añe.
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 Nitombo i Ajajay, nihaozatse naho niliforen-kihitse vaho ama’e ty falalàn’ Añahare.
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Nomb’e Ierosaleme boa-taoñe o roae’eo amy sabadidam-Pihelañey.
Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 Aa ie ni-folo taoñe ro’ amby t’Iesoà le nionjomb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo iereo ami’ty lili’ i sandalam-beiy.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 Naho niheneke i andro rezay le nimpoly iereo; fe mbe nitambatse e Ierosaleme ao t’Iesoà anak’ajalahy, le tsy nifohi’ Iosefe naho i rene’e;
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 natao’ iereo t’ie nindre lia amo mpitrao-liao le nañavelo andro raike hey vaho nipay aze amo longo’eo naho am’ondaty fohiñeo.
But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among [their] kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 Ie tsy nioni’ iereo le nibalike mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo nipay aze.
And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Aa toe nitongoa’ ty herone t’ie tendrek’ añ’ Anjomban’Añahare ao nitoboke añivo’ o mpañokeo, nijanjiñe naho nañontane iareo.
And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 Daban-draha iaby ze nahajanjiñe aze ami’ty hilala’e naho amo fanoiña’eo.
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 Ie nioni’ iereo le nivaranehake, fe hoe ty nanoan-drene’e: O Anake, akore ty nanoa’o zao? Hehe te nioremèn-jahay naho i rae’o nipay Azo!
And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 Tinoi’e ty hoe, Akore t’ie nitsoek’ ahy? Tsy fohi’ areo hao t’ie tsi-mahay tsy hitoloñe an-dRaeko?
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
50 Fe nañalike iereo i entañe tinaro’ey.
And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 F’ie nindreza’e fimpoly mb’e Nazareta mb’eo vaho niasia’e. Fonga nifaharan-drene’e añ’ arofo’e ao i saontsy zay.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Nitombo an-tsandriñe naho hilala t’Iesoà vaho nisohen’ Añahare naho ondatio.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
