Luqaas 2
1 Bara sana keessa akka addunyaan Roomaa hundi galmeeffamuuf Awugisxoos Qeesaar biraa labsiin baʼe.
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2 Lakkoobsi sabaa kunis bara Qereenewoos bulchaa biyya Sooriyaa turetti yeroo jalqabaatiif taasifame.
([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 Namni hundinuu galmeeffamuuf gara magaalaa itti dhalatee dhaqe.
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 Yoosefis manaa fi sanyii Daawit keessaa waan dhalateef magaalaa Naazreeti ishee Galiilaa keessaatii kaʼee gara magaalaa Daawit ishee Yihuudaa keessaa kan Beetlihem jedhamtuutti ol baʼe.
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 lineage of David)
5 Innis kaadhima isaa Maariyaam ishee ulfa turte sana wajjin galmeeffamuu dhaqe.
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 Utuma isaan achi jiranuus yeroon daʼumsa ishee gaʼe.
And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 Isheenis ilma ishee isa hangafa deesse. Waan mana bultii keessummootaa keessa iddoon hin jiraatiniif huccuudhaan martee bidiruu keessa isa ciibsite.
And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling-clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Tiksoota halkan halkan ala bulanii bushaayee isaanii tikfatanitu biyya sana ture.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 Ergamaan Gooftaa isaanitti mulʼate; ulfinni Gooftaas naannoo isaaniitti ibse; isaanis akka malee sodaatan.
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 Ergamaan sun garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Hin sodaatinaa. Kunoo, ani oduu gaarii baayʼee nama gammachiisu kan saba hundumaaf taʼu isinii fideeraatii.
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 Harʼa magaalaa Daawit keessatti fayyisaan isiniif dhalateera; innis Kiristoos Goofticha.
For to you is born this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 Kunis mallattoo isiniif taʼa: Daaʼima huccuudhaan maramee bidiruu keessa ciisu tokko ni argitu.”
And this [shall be] a sign to you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger.
13 Ergamaa sana wajjinis raayyaan samii irraa baayʼeen akkuma tasaa mulʼatanii Waaqa galateeffachaa akkana jedhan;
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 “Samii gubbaatti ulfinni Waaqaaf, lafa irrattis nagaan namoota inni itti gammaduuf haa taʼu.”
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men.
15 Erga Ergamoonni tiksoota dhiisanii gara samiitti ol baʼanii booddee tiksoonni sun, “Kottaa Beetlihemin dhaqnee waan taʼe kan Gooftaan nutti hime kana ilaalaa” waliin jedhan.
And it came to pass, when the angels had departed 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 Isaanis dafanii dhaqanii Maariyaamii fi Yoosefin, daaʼima bidiruu keessa ciisus argan.
And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 Yommuu isa arganitti waan waaʼee mucichaa isaanitti himame sana odeessan;
And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 warri waan kana dhagaʼan hundinuu waan tiksoonni isaanitti himan sana ni dinqifatan.
And all they that heard [it], wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 Maariyaam garuu waan kana hunda garaatti qabattee itti yaadaa turte.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart.
20 Tiksoonnis sababii waan dhagaʼanii fi arganiitiif Waaqaaf ulfina kennaa, isa jajachaas deebiʼan; wanni hundinuu akkuma isaanitti himame sana tureetii.
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 Innis guyyaa saddeettaffaatti, akkuma yeroon dhagna qabaa isaa gaʼeen maqaa utuu haati isaa iyyuu isa hin ulfaaʼiniin dura ergamaan Waaqaa isaaf baaseen Yesuus jedhamee moggaafame.
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 Akka Seera Museetti yeroon qulqullaaʼummaa isaanii geenyaan Yoosefii fi Maariyaam daaʼima sana Gooftaa duratti dhiʼeessuuf jedhanii isa fudhatanii Yerusaalemitti ol baʼan.
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 Akkuma Seera Gooftaa keessatti barreeffametti, “Dhiirri hangafni hundinuu gooftaaf ni qulqulleeffama.”
(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that is the first born of his mother shall be called holy to the Lord)
24 Isaanis akkuma Seerri Gooftaa jedhutti, “Gugee lama yookaan gugee sosookkee lama” aarsaa dhiʼeessuu dhaqan.
And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.
25 Kunoo, namichi qajeelaan Waaqa sodaatu kan maqaan isaa Simiʼoon jedhamu tokko Yerusaalem keessa ture. Innis jajjabeeffama Israaʼel eeggachaa ture; Hafuurri Qulqulluunis isa irra ture.
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 Spirit was upon him.
26 Hafuurri Qulqulluunis akka inni utuu Kiristoos Goofticha hin argin hin duune isatti mulʼisee ture.
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 Innis Hafuuraan qajeelfamee mana qulqullummaa seene. Abbaa fi haati Yesuus yommuu akka duudhaa seerichaatti waan barbaachisu isaaf guutuuf jedhanii Yesuus mucicha baadhatanii ol seenanitti,
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 Simiʼoon fuudhee isa hammatee akkana jedhee Waaqa galateeffate:
Then he took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 “Yaa Gooftaa, akkuma dubbii keetiitti, ati garbicha kee amma nagaan geggeessis.
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 Iji koo fayyina kee isa ati
For my eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 saba hundumaa duratti qopheessite argeera;
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 innis mulʼata Namoota Ormaatiif ifa; saba kee Israaʼeliif immoo ulfina.”
A light to enlighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Abbaa fi haati isaas waan waaʼee isaa dubbatame sana ni dinqifatan.
And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken concerning him.
34 Simiʼoonis isaan eebbise; haadha daaʼima sanaa Maariyaamiinis akkana jedhe; “Daaʼimni kun Israaʼel keessatti kufaatiidhaa fi kaʼumsa namoota baayʼeetiif sababii, mormii isa irratti dubbatamuufis mallattoo akka taʼu murteeffameera;
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 kunis akka yaadni garaa namoota baayʼee ifatti baʼuuf. Goraadeen lubbuu kee ni waraana.”
(And a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 Gosa Aasheer keessaas raajittii Haannaa jedhamtu tokkotu ture. Isheenis intala Faanuʼel turte; baayʼees jaartee turte; dhirsa ishee kan durbummaadhaan itti heerumte wajjin waggaa torba jiraatte;
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 a husband seven years from her virginity;
37 isheenis hamma umuriin ishee waggaa 84 guuteetti haadha hiyyeessaa taatee jiraatte. Utuu mana qulqullummaatii hin dhabaminis soomaa fi kadhannaadhaan halkanii guyyaa waaqeffachaa turte.
And she [was] a widow of about eighty four years, who departed not from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 Yeruma sanas isaanitti dhiʼaattee Waaqaaf galata galchite; warra furama Yerusaalem eeggachaa turan hundattis waaʼee daaʼima sanaa odeessite.
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 Yoosefii fi Maariyaamis waan seerri Gooftaa ajaju hunda raawwatanii gara Galiilaatti gara magaalaa isaanii Naazreetitti deebiʼan.
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 Mucichis guddatee jabaachaa deeme; ogummaadhaanis ni guutame; ayyaanni Waaqaas isa irra ture.
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Abbaa fi haati isaa wagguma waggaan Ayyaana Faasiikaatiif jedhanii Yerusaalem dhaqaa turan.
Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 Yommuu umuriin mucaa sanaa waggaa kudha lama guutettis akkuma sirna Ayyaanichaatti Yerusaalemitti ol baʼan.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
43 Erga ayyaanichi raawwatee booddee utuu abbaa fi haati isaa gara mana isaaniitti deebiʼaa jiranuu, Yesuus mucichi Yerusaalemitti isaan biraa hafe; isaan garuu waan kana hin hubanne.
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 Isaanis waan inni miiltoo isaanii wajjin jiru seʼanii guyyaa tokko deeman. Ergasiis firoota isaaniitii fi michoota isaanii keessa isa barbaaduu jalqaban.
But they, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among [their] relations and acquaintance.
45 Yommuu isa dhabanittis, isa barbaaduuf Yerusaalemitti deebiʼan.
And when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Guyyaa sadii booddee utuu inni barsiistota gidduu taaʼee isaan dhaggeeffatuu, gaaffiis isaan gaafatuu mana qulqullummaa keessatti isa argatan.
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 Warri isa dhagaʼan hundinuus hubannaa isaatii fi deebii inni kennu ni dinqifatan.
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 Abbaa fi haati isaas yommuu isa arganitti ni raajeffatan. Haati isaas, “Gurbaa, maaliif akkana nu goote? Kunoo, anii fi abbaan kee yaaddoo guddaadhaan si barbaadaa turree!” jetteen.
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 Innis deebisee, “Maaliif na barbaaddan? Akka ani mana Abbaa kootti argamuu qabu hin beekne moo?” isaaniin jedhe.
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 Isaan garuu dubbii inni isaanitti dubbate hin hubanne.
And they understood not the saying which he spoke to them.
51 Innis isaan wajjin Naazreetitti gad buʼe; isaaniifis ni ajajama ture. Haati isaa garuu waan kana hunda garaatti qabatte.
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 Yesuusis ogummaadhaan, hojjaa fi surraadhaan fuula Waaqaatii fi fuula namaa duratti guddachaa deeme.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
