¹And it came to pass in those days, there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world be enrolled —

¹Wakhtigaas waxaa dhacay in amar ka soo baxay Kaysar Awgustus in dadka dunida jooga oo dhan la qoro.

²this enrollment first came to pass when Cyrenius was governor of Syria —

²Qorniinkaas kolkii ugu horreeyey waxaa la sameeyey markii Kuranayos xukumi jiray Suuriya.

³and all were going to be enrolled, each to his proper city,

³Dhammaan waxay u wada tageen in la qoro, mid kastaba magaaladiisii.

⁴and Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, that is called Bethlehem, because of his being of the house and family of David,

⁴Yuusufna Galili ayuu ka kacay, oo magaaladii Naasared ka tegey, oo wuxuu aaday Yahuudiya ilaa magaaladii Daa'uud oo Beytlaxam la odhan jiray, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ahaa dadkii iyo dhashii Daa'uud,

⁵to enroll himself with Mary his betrothed wife, being with child.

⁵in lala qoro Maryan oo ahayd tii u doonanayd oo uurka lahayd.

⁶And it came to pass, in their being there, the days were fulfilled for her bringing forth,

⁶Waxaa dhacay kolkay halkaas joogeen in maalmihii ay umuli lahayd dhammaadeen,

⁷and she brought forth her son — the first-born, and wrapped him up, and laid him down in the manger, because there was not for them a place in the guest-chamber.

⁷waxayna umushay wiilkeedii curadka ahaa, markaasay maro ku duudduubtay oo qabaal ku jiifisay, waayo, meel ay ku hoydaan ayay hudheelkii ka waayeen.

⁸And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the field, and keeping the night-watches over their flock,

⁸Dalkaas waxaa jiray adhijirro bannaanka jooga oo habeenkii idahooda ilaalinaya.

⁹and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood over them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared a great fear.

⁹Malaa'igtii Rabbiga ayaa ag istaagtay, oo ammaanta Rabbiga ayaa iftiimisay hareerahooda, aad bayna u baqeen.

¹⁰And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people —

¹⁰Markaasaa malaa'igtii ku tidhi, Ha baqina, waayo, ogaada, waxaan idiin keenay war wanaagsan oo leh farxad weyn oo u ahaan dadka oo dhan.

¹¹because there was born to you to-day a Saviour — who is Christ the Lord — in the city of David,

¹¹Waayo, maanta waxaa magaalada Daa'uud idiinku dhashay Badbaadiye oo ah Masiixa Rabbiga ah.

¹²and this [is] to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped up, lying in the manger.`

¹²Oo waxaa calaamo idiin ahaan tan, waxaad heli doontaan ilmo maro ku duudduuban oo ku jiifa qabaal.

¹³And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,

¹³Dhaqsoba waxaa malaa'igtii la jirtay guuto fara badan oo jannada ka timid, wayna ammaanayeen Ilaah oo lahaayeen,

¹⁴`Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men — good will.`

¹⁴Ilaah ha ku ammaanmo meelaha ugu sarreeya, Xagga dhulkana nabad ha ahaato dadka ka farxiya Ilaah dhexdooda.

¹⁵And it came to pass, when the messengers were gone away from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said unto one another, `We may go over indeed unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that hath come to pass, that the Lord did make known to us.`

¹⁵Waxaa dhacay markii malaa'igihii ka tageen oo jannada ku noqdeen in adhijirradii isku yidhaahdeen, Haddana aan tagno xataa ilaa Beytlaxam, aan aragnee waxaas dhacay oo Rabbiga ina ogeysiiyey.

¹⁶And they came, having hasted, and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger,

¹⁶Markaasay dhaqso u yimaadeen oo waxay heleen Maryan iyo Yuusufba iyo ilmihii oo qabaal ku jiifa.

¹⁷and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the child.

¹⁷Oo goortay arkeen, waxay ogeysiiyeen hadalka ilmahan looga sheegay iyaga.

¹⁸And all who heard, did wonder concerning the things spoken by the shepherds unto them;

¹⁸Dadkii maqlay oo dhanna ayaa ka yaabay waxyaalihii adhijirradu u sheegeen.

¹⁹and Mary was preserving all these things, pondering in her heart;

¹⁹Maryanse hadalkaas oo dhan ayay haysatay oo qalbigeeda kaga fikirtay.

²⁰and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God, for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken unto them.

²⁰Adhijirraduna way noqdeen iyagoo Ilaah ku ammaanaya oo ku weynaynaya waxyaalihii ay maqleen oo ay arkeen oo dhan, sidii iyaga loogu sheegay.

²¹And when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise the child, then was his name called Jesus, having been so called by the messenger before his being conceived in the womb.

²¹Goortii siddeed maalmood dhammaatay oo wiilkii la gudi lahaa, magiciisii waxaa loo baxshay Ciise, sida malaa'igtii ugu bixisay intaan uurka lagu uuraysan.

²²And when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present to the Lord,

²²Kolkii maalmihii nadiifiskeeda u dhammaadeen sidii sharciga Muuse lahaa, waxay geeyeen Yeruusaalem inay Rabbiga u dhiibaan

²³as it hath been written in the Law of the Lord, — `Every male opening a womb shall be called holy to the Lord,`

²³(siday ugu qoran tahay sharciga Rabbiga, Curad walba oo lab ah waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa quduus xagga Rabbiga),

²⁴and to give a sacrifice, according to that said in the Law of the Lord, `A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.`

²⁴iyo inay allabari u bixiyaan siday ugu qoran tahay sharciga Rabbiga, Laba qoolley ama laba xamaam oo yaryar.

²⁵And lo, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [is] Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the comforting of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him,

²⁵Bal eeg, waxaa Yeruusaalem joogay nin magiciisii ahaa Simecoon. Ninkaasu wuxuu ahaa nin xaq ah oo cibaado leh; wuxuuna sugayay gargaaridda Israa'iil. Ruuxii Quduuska ahaana waa dul joogay.

²⁶and it hath been divinely told him by the Holy Spirit — not to see death before he may see the Christ of the Lord.

²⁶Waxaana Ruuxii Quduuska ahaa u muujiyey inaanu dhimasho arag intaanu Rabbiga Masiixiisa arkin.

²⁷And he came in the Spirit to the temple, and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for their doing according to the custom of the law regarding him,

²⁷Oo wuxuu Ruuxii ku galay macbudka, oo goortii waalidkii keeneen wiilkii Ciise ahaa inay caadadii sharciga ku sameeyaan,

²⁸then he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and he said,

²⁸markaasuu gacmihiisa ku qaaday, oo Ilaah ammaanay, oo yidhi,

²⁹`Now Thou dost send away Thy servant, Lord, according to Thy word, in peace,

²⁹Rabbiyow, imminka addoonkaagu nabad ha ku tago, Sida hadalkaagu ahaa,

³⁰because mine eyes did see Thy salvation,

³⁰Waayo, indhahaygu waxay arkeen badbaadintaada,

³¹which Thou didst prepare before the face of all the peoples,

³¹Tan aad dadka oo dhan hortiis hagaajisay,

³²a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Thy people Israel.`

³²Oo ah iftiin quruumaha lagu muujiyo, Iyo ammaanta dadkaaga Israa'iil.

³³And Joseph and his mother were wondering at the things spoken concerning him,

³³Markaasaa aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis ka yaabeen waxyaalihii lagaga hadlay isaga.

³⁴and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, `Lo, this [one] is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against —

³⁴Simecoon ayaa iyaga u duceeyey, wuxuuna hooyadiis Maryan ku yidhi, Ogow, wiilkan waxaa loo dhigay dhicidda iyo kicidda kuwa badan oo Israa'iil ku jira, iyo calaamo ka gees ahaan lagaga hadlo,

³⁵(and also thine own soul shall a sword pass through) — that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed.`

³⁵si ay qalbiyo badan fikirradoodu u muuqan doonaan. Adigana seef baa naftaada ka mudhbixi doonta.

³⁶And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she was much advanced in days, having lived with an husband seven years from her virginity,

³⁶Waxaa jirtay nebiyad Anna la odhan jiray, ina Fanuu'eel, oo ahayd qoladii Aasheer, wayna da'weynayd; nin bayna la jirtay toddoba sannadood bikradnimadeeda dabadeed.

³⁷and she [is] a widow of about eighty-four years, who did depart not from the temple, with fasts and supplications serving, night and day,

³⁷Waxayna ahayd carmal xataa afar iyo siddeetan sannadood, macbudkana kama ay tegin, laakiin Ilaah ayay soon iyo salaad habeen iyo maalinba ku caabudaysay.

³⁸and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

³⁸Saacaddaas qudheeda ayay soo gashay oo Ilaah u mahad naqday, oo kuwa furashada Yeruusaalem sugayay oo dhan ayay xaggiisa kala hadashay.

³⁹And when they finished all things, according to the Law of the Lord, they turned back to Galilee, to their city Nazareth;

³⁹Goortay wax walba dhammeeyeen sida sharciga Rabbigu leeyahay, waxay ku noqdeen Galili ilaa magaaladoodii Naasared.

⁴⁰and the child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

⁴⁰Wiilkii ayaa koray oo itaal weynaaday, waxaana ka buuxsantay xigmad; Ilaah nimcadiisuna way dul joogtay.

⁴¹And his parents were going yearly to Jerusalem, at the feast of the passover,

⁴¹Sannad walba waalidkiisii waxay Yeruusaalem u tegi jireen Iiddii Kormaridda.

⁴²and when he became twelve years old, they having gone up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,

⁴²Goortuu laba iyo toban sannadood jiray ayay aadeen sidii caadadii iiddu u ahayd.

⁴³and having finished the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother did not know,

⁴³Oo goortay maalmihii dhammaysteen, oo ay noqonayeen, ayaa Ciise wiilkii ahaa ku hadhay Yeruusaalem, waalidkiisuna ma ogayn,

⁴⁴and, having supposed him to be in the company, they went a day`s journey, and were seeking him among the kindred and among the acquaintances,

⁴⁴laakiin iyagoo u malaynaya inuu dadka la socdo, ayay maalin sii socdeen, markaasay ka dhex doondooneen xigaalkooda iyo kuway isbarteen.

⁴⁵and not having found him, they turned back to Jerusalem seeking him.

⁴⁵Oo markay heli waayeen ayay Yeruusaalem ku noqdeen oo ka doondooneen.

⁴⁶And it came to pass, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them,

⁴⁶Waxaa noqotay, saddex maalmood dabadeed, inay macbudka ka heleen isagoo macallimiinta dhex fadhiya oo dhegaysanaya oo wax weyddiinaya.

⁴⁷and all those hearing him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

⁴⁷Dadkii maqlay oo dhan ayaa la yaabay garashadiisii iyo jawaabihiisii.

⁴⁸And, having seen him, they were amazed, and his mother said unto him, `Child, why didst thou thus to us? lo, thy father and I, sorrowing, were seeking thee.`

⁴⁸Goortay arkeen isagii way la yaabeen, oo hooyadiis ayaa ku tidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, maxaad sidaas noo yeeshay? Bal eeg, aniga iyo aabbahaa caloolxumo waannu kugu doondoonnay.

⁴⁹And he said unto them, `Why [is it] that ye were seeking me? did ye not know that in the things of my Father it behoveth me to be?`

⁴⁹Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Maxaad ii doondoonayseen? Miyaanad ogayn inay igu waajib tahay inaan danta Aabbahay ku jeedo?

⁵⁰and they did not understand the saying that he spake to them,

⁵⁰Laakiin way garan waayeen hadalkii uu kula hadlay.

⁵¹and he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was subject to them, and his mother was keeping all these sayings in her heart,

⁵¹Kolkaasuu raacay oo Naasared tegey, wuuna ka dambeeyey iyaga; laakiinse hooyadiis hadalkaas oo dhan qalbigeeda ayay ku haysatay.Ciisena wuxuu ku koray xigmad iyo dherer iyo nimco, Ilaah iyo dadka hortooda.

⁵²and Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.

⁵²Ciisena wuxuu ku koray xigmad iyo dherer iyo nimco, Ilaah iyo dadka hortooda.
