Lioka 2
1 Nitsatok’ amy andro rezay te niboele mb’eo ty koi-dava’ i Aogosto Kaisara hanoeñe vali-boke amy ze kila ondaty.
Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
2 Izay ty vali-boke valoha’e nifototse ami’ty naha-bei’ i Siria i Kirenio.
This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Aa le nañavelo hisokitse amy rova nihirifa’ey ze hene pato-razañe.
All went to enroll themselves, everyone to 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,
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 hisokitse; mindre ama’e t’i Marie valy fofo’e, ie fa bey troke.
to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
6 Ie añe le tendreke ty andro hitolia’e,
While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
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.
She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, 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.
There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 Tojo te nijohañe añatrefa’ iereo eo ty anjeli’ Iehovà, naho niarisehoa’e ami’ ty fireandream-bolonahe’ Iehovà, le hene nirevendreveñe.
Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 Aa le hoe i Anjeliy tam’iereo: Ko hembañe, Inao ty talili-soan-kafaleam-bey endeseko ama’areo, ho amy ze kila ondaty,
The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
11 t’ie nisamake ho anahareo anindroany androva’ i Davide ao ty Mpandrombake, i Talè Norizañey.
For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 Le zao ty viloñe ho anahareo: ho zoe’ areo nifoloñoseñe bandi-leny ty ajajamena mandre an-tsokemitrahañ’ao.
This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
13 Tsipaepae’ izay nisodehañe mindre amy anjeliy i lahialen-dikerañey, nandrenge an’Andrianañahare, nanao rodo-bey ty hoe:
Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army 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, 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.
When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 Nirapirapy mb’eo iereo, le nahaoniñe i Marie naho Iosefe vaho i ajajamena mandre an-tsokemitrahañey.
They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
17 Ie nahaoniñe aze, le nampaharendrehe’ iereo sikal’aia sikal’aia i natalily am’iereo ty amy ajajamenaiy.
When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18 Le nilatsa iaby ze ondaty nahajanjiñe o nitalilia’ i mpiarake rey.
All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 F’ie hene nahaja’ i Marie, ie ninekonekoa’e añ’arofo’e ao.
But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 Nibalike o mpiarakeo, nañonjoñe naho nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare, ty amo hene jinanji’ iereo naho nioni’iereoo, amy nitaliliañey.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told 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.
When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by 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,
When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up 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 who opens 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.
Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
26 Nentoe’ i Arofo Masiñey t’ie tsy ho liàn-kavilasy ampara’ te isa’e i Noriza’ i Talèy.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit 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,
He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
28 le notrotroe’e am-pità’e naho nisalale aman’ Añahare nanao ty ti-hoe:
then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
29 Ry Iehovà, avotsoro hiavotse an-kazavàn’ arofo henaneo o mpitoro’oo ty amy saontsi’oy;
“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
30 fa nahatrea ty fandrombaha’o o masokoo,
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 i nihajarie’o añatrefa’ ze kila ondatiy,
which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 Failo fañazavàñe amo fifeheañeo, naho ty enge’ Israele, ondati’oo.
a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Latsa amy zao ty rae’ i ajajay naho i rene’e amy nisaontsieñey;
Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning 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;
Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 (eka ho trofahem-pibara ka ty tro’o), hampibentatse ty vetsevetsen’ arofo’ ty maro.
Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, 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;
There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a 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 had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 Ie nizilik’ ao amy oray le nandrenge Iehovà, vaho nitalily aze amy ze hene nitamà ty fijebañañe Ierosaleme.
Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Ie nihenefe’iereo ze nafè’ ty Ha’ Iehovà, le nimpoly mb’e Galilia mb’e Nazareta tanà’ iareo añe.
When they had accomplished all things that were 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.
The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Nomb’e Ierosaleme boa-taoñe o roae’eo amy sabadidam-Pihelañey.
His parents went every year to Jerusalem 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.
When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to 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 were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know 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 supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Ie tsy nioni’ iereo le nibalike mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo nipay aze.
When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
46 Aa toe nitongoa’ ty herone t’ie tendrek’ añ’ Anjomban’Añahare ao nitoboke añivo’ o mpañokeo, nijanjiñe naho nañontane iareo.
After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
47 Daban-draha iaby ze nahajanjiñe aze ami’ty hilala’e naho amo fanoiña’eo.
All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his 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!
When they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”
49 Tinoi’e ty hoe, Akore t’ie nitsoek’ ahy? Tsy fohi’ areo hao t’ie tsi-mahay tsy hitoloñe an-dRaeko?
He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 Fe nañalike iereo i entañe tinaro’ey.
They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to 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. He was subject to them, and 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 favor with God and men.
