1 Dad badan waxay ku dadaaleen inay soo hagaajiyaan sheeko ku saabsan wixii dhexdayada lagu sameeyey oo la hubsaday,
To his Excellency, Theophilus. Many attempts have been already made to draw up an account of those events which have reached their conclusion among us,
2 siday noo ogeysiiyeen kuwii tan iyo bilowgii arkay oo Ereygii u shaqeeyey.
just as they were reported to us by those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and afterward became bearers of the message.
3 Sidaa darteed anigana waxaa ila wanaagsanayd inaan, anigoo tan iyo bilowgii wax walba oo dhacay aad u gartay, si hagaagsan kuugu qoro, Te'ofilosow sharaf weyn lahow,
And, therefore, I also, since I have investigated all these events with great care from their very beginning, have resolved to write a connected history of them for you,
4 inaad garatid hubniintii hadalkii lagu baray.
in order that you may be able to satisfy yourself of the accuracy of the story which you have heard from the lips of others.
5 Wakhtigii Herodos ahaa boqorkii Yahuudiya, waxaa jiray wadaad la odhan jiray Sakariyas, oo ka mid ahaa safkii Abiya; haweenaydiisuna waxay ka mid ahayd hablihii reer Haaruun, magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Elisabed.
In the reign of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the division called after Abijah. His wife, whose name was Elizabeth, was also a descendant of Aaron.
6 Labadooduba xaq bay ku ahaayeen Ilaah hortiisa, oo qaynuunnadii iyo xukummadii Rabbiga ayay eedla'aan ku socon jireen.
They were both righteous people, who lived blameless lives, guiding their steps by all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
7 Ilmo ma ay lahayn, waayo, Elisabed madhalays bay ahayd, oo labadooduba way da'weynaayeen.
But they had no child, Elizabeth being barren; and both of them were advanced in years.
8 Waxaa dhacay, intuu shuqulkii wadaadnimadii safkiisa dartiis samaynayay Ilaah hortiisa,
One day, when Zechariah was officiating as priest before God, during the turn of his division,
9 sida caadadii wadaadnimadu u ahayd, in shuqulkiisu ahaa inuu foox shido goortuu macbudka Rabbiga galay.
it fell to him by lot, in accordance with the practice among the priests, to go into the Temple of the Lord and burn incense;
10 Saacaddii fooxa ayaa dadkii badnaa oo dhammu dibadda ku tukanayeen.
and, as it was the Hour of Incense, the people were all praying outside.
11 Markaasaa waxaa isaga u soo muuqatay malaa'igtii Rabbiga oo taagnayd meeshii fooxa lagu shido midigteeda.
And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the Altar of Incense.
12 Goortuu Sakariyas arkay ayuu naxay, wuuna cabsaday.
Zechariah was startled at the sight and was awe-struck.
13 Laakiin malaa'igtii baa ku tidhi, Ha baqin, Sakariyasow, waayo, baryadaadii waa la maqlay; afadaada Elisabedna wiil bay kuu dhali doontaa, magiciisana waxaad u bixin doontaa Yooxanaa.
But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, whom you will call by the name John.
14 Waxaad heli doontaa farxad iyo rayrayn; dad badanna dhalashadiisa ayay ku farxi doonaan,
He will be to you a joy and a delight; and many will rejoice over his birth.
15 waayo, Rabbiga hortiisa nin weyn buu ku ahaan doonaa, mana cabbi doono khamri ama wax lagu sakhraamo. Waxaana xataa uurka hooyadiis kaga buuxsami doona Ruuxa Quduuskaa.
For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; he will not drink any wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his birth,
16 Reer binu Israa'iil badidoodana ayuu Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah ku soo jeedin doonaa.
and will reconcile many of the Israelites to the Lord their God.
17 Isaguna wuxuu ku hor mari doonaa ruuxii iyo xooggii Eliyaas inuu aabbayaasha qalbiyadooda ku soo jeediyo carruurta, iyo inuu caasiyiinta ku soo celiyo xigmadda kuwa xaqa ah, inuu Rabbiga u diyaargareeyo dad hagaagsan.
He will go before him in the spirit and with the power of Elijah, to reconcile fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”
18 Sakariyas wuxuu malaa'igtii ku yidhi, Sidee baan waxan u garan doonaa? Waayo, anigu oday baan ahay, afadayduna waa da'weynaatay.
“How can I be sure of this?” Zechariah asked the angel. “For I am an old man and my wife is advanced in years.”
19 Malaa'igtii baa u jawaabtay oo ku tidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay Jibriil oo Ilaah hortiisa istaaga. Waxaa la ii soo diray inaan kula hadlo oo aan warkan wanaagsan kuu keeno.
“I am Gabriel,” the angel answered, “who stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
20 Bal eeg, waad aamusnaan doontaa, mana hadli kari doonto, ilaa maalinta waxyaalahan dhici doonaan, waayo, waad rumaysan weyday hadalladayda wakhtigooda la oofin doono.
And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day when this takes place, because you did not believe what I said, though my words will be fulfilled in due course.”
21 Dadkuna waxay sugayeen Sakariyas, oo waxay la yaabeen siduu macbudka ugu raagay.
Meanwhile the people were watching for Zechariah, wondering at his remaining so long in the Temple.
22 Markuu soo baxay ayuu la hadli kari waayay, markaasay garteen inuu macbudka wax ku arkay. Kolkaasuu gacanta ugu sii tilmaamayay iyaga, isagoo sii carrab la'.
When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision there. But Zechariah kept making signs to them, and remained dumb.
23 Kolkii maalmihii shuqulkiisii wadaadnimadu dhammaadeen ayuu wuxuu tegey gurigiisii.
And, as soon as his term of service was finished, he returned home.
24 Maalmahaas dabadeed afadiisa Elisabed ayaa uuraysatay, oo shan bilood ayay isqarisay iyadoo leh.
After this his wife, Elizabeth, became pregnant and lived in seclusion for five months.
25 Sidaasaa Rabbigu iigu sameeyey maalmihii uu i eegay inuu ceebtayda dadka dhexdooda iiga qaado.
“The Lord has done this for me,” she said, “he has shown me kindness and taken away the public disgrace of childlessness under which I have been living.”
26 Bishii lixaad Ilaah baa malaa'ig Jibriil u soo diray magaalada Galili oo Naasared la odhan jiray
Six months later the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
27 ilaa gabadh bikrad ah oo u doonanayd nin la odhan jiray Yuusuf oo dhashii Daa'uud ahaa; gabadhana waxaa la odhan jiray Maryan.
to a maiden there who was engaged to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. Her name was Mary.
28 Malaa'igtii baa u soo gashay, oo waxay ku tidhi, Nabad, adigoo nimcaysan, Rabbiga ayaa kula jira.
Gabriel came into her presence and greeted her, saying, “You have been shown great favor – the Lord is with you.”
29 Markaasay hadalkii ka naxday, oo waxay isku tidhi, Maxay tahay salaantan?
Mary was much disturbed at his words, and was wondering to herself what such a greeting could mean,
30 Malaa'igtii baa ku tidhi, Ha baqin, Maryamay, waayo, nimco ayaad Ilaah ka heshay.
when the angel spoke again, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 Bal eeg, waad uuraysan doontaa, oo wiil baad umuli doontaa, magiciisana waxaad u bixin doontaa Ciise.
And now, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will give him the name Jesus.
32 Nin weyn buu ahaan doonaa, waxaana loogu yeedhi doonaa Wiilka Kan ugu sarreeya, Rabbiga Ilaaha ahuna wuxuu siin doonaa carshigii awowgiis Daa'uud.
The child will be great and will be called ‘Son of the Most High,’ and the Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David,
33 Weligiiba wuxuu boqor u ahaan doonaa dadkii Yacquub, boqornimadiisuna ma idlaan doonto. (aiōn g165)
and he will reign over the descendants of Jacob for ever; And to his kingdom there will be no end.” (aiōn g165)
34 Kolkaasaa Maryan waxay malaa'igtii ku tidhi, Sidee baa waxanu ku noqon doonaan? Anigu ninna garan maayo.
“How can this be?” Mary asked the angel. “For I have no husband.”
35 Malaa'igtii waa u jawaabtay oo ku tidhi, Ruuxa Quduuska ah ayaa kugu soo degi doona, oo xooggii Kan ugu sarreeya ayaa hoosiis kuu noqon doona, sidaa darteed kan quduuska ah oo kaa dhalan doona waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa Wiilka Ilaah.
“The Holy Spirit will descend on you,” answered the angel, “and the Power of the Most High will overshadow you; and therefore the child will be called ‘holy,’ and ‘Son of God.’
36 Bal eeg, ina-adeertaa Elisabedna wiil bay uuraysatay iyadoo da'weyn; oo tanuna waxay tii madhalays loogu yeedhi jiray u tahay bisheedii lixaad.
And Elizabeth, your cousin, is herself also expecting a son in her old age; and it is now the sixth month with her, though she is called barren;
37 Waayo, wax aan Ilaah kari doonin ma jiro.
for no promise from God will fail to be fulfilled.”
38 Maryan ayaa tidhi, Waa i kan, waxaan ahay addoontii Rabbiga. Sidaad u hadashay ha ii noqoto. Markaasaa malaa'igtii ka tagtay.
“I am the servant of the Lord,” exclaimed Mary. “Let it be with me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.
39 Maalmahaas Maryan baa kacday, oo waxay dhaqso u tagtay dhulkii buuraha lahaa ilaa magaalo ka mid ah reer Yahuudah,
Soon after this Mary set out, and made her way quickly into the hill-country, to a town in Judah;
40 oo waxay gashay gurigii Sakariyas, oo salaantay Elisabed.
and there she went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Oo waxaa dhacay goortii Elisabed salaantii Maryan maqashay in ilmihii uurkeeda ku boodbooday; Elisabedna waxaa ka buuxsamay Ruuxa Quduuska ah.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child moved within her, and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit,
42 Markaasay cod dheer ku qaylisay oo tidhi, Dumarka dhexdooda waad ku barakaysan tahay, oo midhaha uurkaaga waa barakaysan yahay.
and cried aloud, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is your unborn child!
43 Xaggee waxanu iiga yimaadeen in Sayidkayga hooyadiis iigu timaado?
But how have I this honor, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Bal eeg, markii codkii salaantaadu dhegahayga ku dhacay, ilmaha uurkayga ku jira ayaa farxad la boodbooday.
For, as soon as your greeting reached my ears, the child moved within me with delight!
45 Waxaa barakaysan tii rumaysatay; waayo, waxyaalihii xagga Rabbiga looga sheegay ayay dhici doonaan.
Happy indeed is she who believed that the promise which she received from the Lord would be fulfilled.”
46 Maryanna waxay tidhi, Naftaydu Rabbigay weynaynaysaa,
And Mary said: “My soul exalts the Lord,
47 Ruuxayguna wuxuu ku reyreeyey Ilaaha Badbaadiyahayga ah.
and my spirit delights in God my Savior,
48 Waayo, wuxuu eegay hoosaysnimada addoontiisa, Bal eeg, tan iyo hadhow qarniyada oo dhammu waxay iigu yeedhi doonaan tan barakaysan.
for he has looked with favor on his humble servant girl. From now on all generations will call me blessed!
49 Waayo, kan xoogga leh ayaa waxyaalo waaweyn ii sameeyey; Magiciisuna waa Quduus,
“For the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50 Tan iyo ab ka ab naxariistiisu waxay gaadhaa Kuwa isaga ka cabsada.
He has mercy on those who revere him in every generation.
51 Wuxuu xoog ku sameeyey gacantiisa, Oo kuwii fikirradii qalbigoodii ku kibray ayuu kala firdhiyey.
“Mighty are the deeds of his arm! He has scattered the self-satisfied proud,
52 Kuwii xoogga lahaa ayuu carshiyadoodii ka soo dejiyey Oo kuwii hooseeyey ayuu sarraysiiyey.
he has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and he uplifts the humble,
53 Kuwii gaajaysnaa ayuu wax wanaagsan ka dhergiyey, Kuwii hodanka ahaana iyagoo madhan ayuu diray.
he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
54 Midiidinkiisii Israa'iil ayuu caawiyey Inuu xusuusto inuu u naxariisto
“He has stretched out his hand to his servant Israel, ever mindful of his mercy,
55 Ibraahim iyo farcankiisii weligoodba (Siduu awowayaasheennii ula hadlay). (aiōn g165)
as he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and his descendants for ever.” (aiōn g165)
56 Maryan waxay iyada la joogtay abbaaraha saddex bilood, markaasay gurigeeda ku noqotay.
Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned to her home.
57 Hadda Elisabed wakhtigii ay umuli lahayd ayaa la joogay, oo wiil bay dhashay.
When Elizabeth’s time came, she gave birth to a son;
58 Derisyadeedii iyo xigaalkeedii ayay maqleen siduu Rabbigu naxariistiisii ugu weyneeyey iyada, wayna la farxeen.
and her neighbors and relatives, hearing of the great goodness of the Lord to her, came to share her joy.
59 Waxaa dhacay inay maalintii siddeedaad u yimaadeen inay wiilkii gudaan, oo waxayna u bixiyeen magicii aabbihiis Sakariyas.
A week later they met to circumcise the child, and were about to call him Zechariah after his father,
60 Kolkaasaa hooyadiis u jawaabtay oo ku tidhi, Sidaas ma aha; waxaase loogu yeedhi doonaa Yooxanaa.
when his mother spoke up, “No, he is to be called John.”
61 Waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Xigaalkaaga kuma jiro qof magacaas loo bixiyey.
“You have no relation of that name!” they exclaimed;
62 Waxay aabbihiis gacan ugu tilmaameen oo weyddiiyeen wuxuu doonayay in loogu yeedho.
and they made signs to the child’s father, to find out what he wished the child to be called.
63 Markaasuu wuxuu weyddiistay loox oo ku qoray, isagoo leh, Magiciisu waa Yooxanaa. Wayna wada yaabeen.
Asking for a writing tablet, he wrote the words – ‘His name is John.’ Everyone was surprised
64 Kolkiiba afkiisii ayaa furmay, oo carrabkiisiina waa debcay, markaasuu hadlay oo Ilaah ammaanay.
and immediately Zechariah recovered his voice and the use of his tongue, and began to bless God.
65 Dadkii agtooda joogay oo dhammu way wada cabsadeen, oo hadalladan oo dhan waa lagaga hadlayay dalkii buuraha lahaa oo Yahuudiya oo dhan.
All their neighbors were awe-struck at this, and throughout the hill-country of Judea the whole story was much talked about.
66 Kuwa waxyaalahaas maqlay oo dhan ayaa qalbigooda geliyey oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Haddaba ilmahanu muxuu noqon doonaa? Waayo, gacantii Rabbiga ayaa la jirtay isaga.
All who heard it kept it in mind, asking one another – “What can this child be destined to become?” For the Power of the Lord was with him.
67 Markaasaa aabbihiis Sakariyas waxaa ka buuxsamay Ruuxa Quduuska ah, waxna wuu sii sheegay isagoo leh,
Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and, speaking under inspiration, said:
68 Ha ammaanmo Rabbiga ah Ilaaha Israa'iil, Waayo, dadkiisii ayuu soo booqday oo furtay.
“Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who has visited his people and wrought their deliverance,
69 Badbaadiye xoog leh ayuu inoogu kiciyey Gurigii midiidinkiisa Daa'uud,
and has raised up for us the strength of our salvation in the house of his servant David –
70 (Siduu afkii nebiyadiisii quduuska ahaa tan iyo bilowgii uga hadli jiray), (aiōn g165)
as he promised by the lips of his holy prophets of old – (aiōn g165)
71 Inuu inaga badbaadiyo cadaawayaasheenna iyo gacanta kuwa ina neceb oo dhan,
salvation from our enemies and from the hands of all who hate us,
72 Iyo inuu u naxariisto awowayaasheen, Iyo inuu axdigiisii quduuska ahaa xusuusto,
showing mercy to our ancestors, and mindful of his sacred covenant.
73 Oo ahaa dhaartii uu awoweheennii Ibraahim ugu dhaartay,
This was the oath which he swore to our ancestor Abraham –
74 Inuu ina siiyo innagoo cadaawayaasheenna gacmahooda laynaga bixiyey Inaynu baqdinla'aan isaga ugu hawshoonno
that we should be rescued from the hands of our enemies,
75 Quduusnimada iyo xaqnimada isaga hortiisa cimrigeenna oo dhan.
and should serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness, in his presence all our days.
76 Adiguna, ilma yahow, waxaa laguugu yeedhi doonaa nebigii Kan ugu sarreeya, Waayo, waxaad hor mari doontaa Rabbiga hortiisa inaad jidadkiisa diyaargaraysid;
And you, child, will be called prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready his way,
77 Oo aad dadkiisa ogeysiisid badbaadada Ee dembidhaafkooda ah,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,
78 Ee laga hela naxariista weyn ee Ilaaheenna, Tan qorraxda soo baxda xagga sare inaga soo booqan doonta,
through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dawn will break on us from heaven,
79 Inay iftiimiso kuwa fadhiya gudcurka iyo hooskii dhimashada, Iyo inay cagaheenna jidkii nabadda ku kaxayso,
to give light to those who live in darkness and the shadow of death, and guide our feet into the way of peace.”
80 Wiilkuna waa koray oo ruuxuu ka xoogoobay, wuxuuna joogay cidlada ilaa maalintii uu Israa'iil istusi lahaa.
The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he lived in the wilds until the time came for his appearance before Israel.
