1Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
1 Ca jamono jooja buur bu mag bu ñuy wax Ogust joxe ndigal ne, na ñépp binduji.
2This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
2 Mbindu mooma, di mu jëkk ma, daje na ak jamono, ja Kiriñus nekke boroom réewu Siri.
3All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
3 Noonu ku nekk dem binduji ca sa dëkku cosaan.
4Joseph 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 family of David;
4 Yuusufa nag daldi jóge Nasaret ca diiwaanu Galile, jëm ca diiwaanu Yude ca Betleyem, dëkk ba Daawuda cosaanoo, ndaxte ci askanu Daawuda la bokk.
5to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
5 Mu dem binduji, ànd ak Maryaama jabaram, fekk booba Maryaama ëmb.
6It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.
6 Bi ñu nekkee Betleyem, waxtu wa mu waree mucc agsi.
7She brought forth her firstborn son, and she wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
7 Mu taawloo doom ju góor, mu laxas ko ci ay laytaay, tëral ko ca lekkukaayu jur ga, ndaxte xajuñu woon ca dalukaay ba.
8There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
8 Fekk booba amoon na ca gox ba ay sàmm yu daan fanaan ca tool ya, di wottu jur ga.
9Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
9 Noonu benn malaakam Boroom bi feeñu leen, ndamu Boroom bi daldi leer, melax, wër leen. Tiitaange ju réy jàpp leen.
10The 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.
10 Waaye malaaka mi ne leen: «Buleen tiit, ndaxte dama leen di xamal xebaar bu baax buy indi mbég mu réy ci nit ñépp.
11For there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
11 Tey jii ca dëkku Daawuda, ab Musalkat juddul na leen fa, te mooy Almasi bi, di Boroom bi.
12This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
12 Ci firnde jii ngeen koy xàmmee: dingeen gis liir bu ñu laxas ci ay laytaay, tëral ko ci lekkukaayu jur.»
13Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying,
13 Bi mu waxee loolu, yeneen malaaka yu bare yu jóge asamaan, ànd ak moom, di sant Yàlla naan:
14“Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
14 «Nañu màggal Yàlla ca asamaan su kawe sa,te ci àddina, na jàmm ji wàcc ci nit, ñi mu nangu ndax yiwam!»
15It happened, when the angels went away from them into the sky, that the shepherds said one to another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
15 Bi malaaka ya delloo ca asamaan, sàmm yi di waxante naan: «Nanu dem boog Betleyem, seeti la fa xew, li nu Boroom bi xamal.»
16They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
16 Ñu daldi gaawantu dem, gis Maryaama ak Yuusufa, ak liir, ba ñu tëral ca lekkukaayu jur ga.
17When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
17 Bi ñu leen gisee, ñu nettali la ñu leen waxoon ca mbirum xale ba.
18All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
18 Ñi dégg li sàmm yi doon wax ñépp daldi waaru lool.
19But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
19 Waaye Maryaama moom, takkoon na mbir yooyu yépp, di ko xalaat ci xolam.
20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
20 Noonu sàmm ya dellu ca seen jur, di màggal Yàlla, di ko sant ci li ñu déggoon lépp te gis ko, ndaxte lépp am na, ni ko Boroom bi waxe woon.
21When 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.
21 Bi bés ba dellusee jamonoy xarafal xale ba agsi. Ñu tudde ko Yeesu, ni ko malaaka ma diglee woon, laata ko yaayam di ëmb.
22When 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
22 Noonu jamono ji ñu leen waroon a sellale agsi, ni ko yoonu Musaa tërale. Waajuri Yeesu yi daldi koy yóbbu ca dëkku Yerusalem, ngir sédde ko Boroom bi.
23(as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”), Exodus 13:2,12
23 Ndaxte bind nañu ci yoonu Boroom bi ne: «Bépp taaw bu góor, nañu ko sédde Boroom bi.»
24and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” Leviticus 12:8
24 Bi ñu ko yóbboo, def nañu itam sarax, ni ko yoonu Boroom bi santaanee: «ñaari pitaxu àll walla ñaari xati yu ndaw.»
25Behold, 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.
25 Amoon na ca Yerusalem nit ku tudd Simeyon. Nit ku fonkoon yoonu Yàlla la te déggal ko, doon séentu jamono, ji Yàlla war a dëfël bànni Israyil. Xel mu Sell mi mu ngi ci moom,
26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew) both mean “Anointed One”
26 te xamal na ko ne, du dee mukk te gisul Almasib Boroom bi.
27He 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,
27 Noonu Xelum Yàlla daldi yóbbu Simeyon ba ca kër Yàlla ga. Bi waajuri Yeesu indee xale ba, ngir sédde ko Yàlla, ni ko yoon wi santaanee,
28then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
28 Simeyon jël xale bi, leewu ko, daldi sant Yàlla ne:
29“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
29 «Boroom bi, nanga yiwi sa jaam,mu noppaluji ci jàmm, ni nga ko waxe.
30for my eyes have seen your salvation,
30 Ndaxte sama bët tegu na ci mucc gi nga lal,
31which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
31 xeet yépp seede ko.
32a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
32 Muy leer giy leeral xeet yi,di ndamu Israyil say gaay.»
33Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him,
33 Waajuri Yeesu yi waaru ci li ñu doon wax ci xale bi.
34and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
34 Noonu Simeyon ñaanal leen, ba noppi ne Maryaama: «Xale bii Yàllaa ko yónni, ngir ñu bare ci Israyil daanu te yékkatiku. Def na ko it muy firnde ju ñuy weddi,
35Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
35 ba naqar dina xar sa xol ni jaasi. Noonu xalaati ñu bare feeñ.»
36There 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,
36 Amoon na it ca Yerusalem yonent bu ñuy wax Aana. Doomu Fanuwel mi askanoo ci Aser la woon, te Aana màggatoon na lool. Bi mu séyee, dëkk na juróom-ñaari at ak jëkkëram.
37and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.
37 Jëkkër ja gaañu, te séyaatul. Léegi amoon na juróom-ñett-fukki at ak ñeent. Mi ngi dëkke woon a jaamu Yàlla guddi ak bëccëg ca kër Yàlla ga, di ñaan ak di woor.
38Coming 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.
38 Aana yem ca waxi Simeyon ya, daldi gërëm Yàlla tey yégal mbiri liir ba ñépp ñi doon séentu jamono, ji Yàlla war a jot Yerusalem.
39When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
39 Bi waajuri Yeesu yi matalee seen warugar ci lépp lu yoonu Boroom bi santaane woon, ñu dellu seen dëkku Nasaret ca diiwaanu Galile.
40The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
40 Xale baa nga doon màgg, di dëgër, mu fees ak xel te yiwu Yàlla ànd ak moom.
41His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
41 At mu jot nag waajuri Yeesu yi daan nañu dem Yerusalem, ngir màggali bésu Jéggi ba.
42When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast,
42 Noonu bi Yeesu amee fukki at ak ñaar, ñu dem màggal ga, ni ñu ko daan defe nakajekk.
43and 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,
43 Bi màggal ga tasee, ñu dëpp ñibbi, waaye xale ba Yeesu des Yerusalem, te ay waajuram yéguñu ko.
44but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
44 Ñu xalaat ne, Yeesu dafa àndoon ak ñeneen, ñi ñu bokkaloon yoon. Bi ñu doxee bésub lëmm, ñu tàmbali di ko seet ci seen bokk yi ak seen xame yi.
45When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
45 Bi ñu ko gisul nag, ñu daldi dellu Yerusalem, seeti ko.
46It happened after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.
46 Ca gannaaw ëllëg sa ñu fekk ko ca kër Yàlla ga, mu toog ci jàngalekati Yawut yi, di déglu ak di laajte.
47All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
47 Ñépp ñi dégg li mu wax yéemu ci xel, mi mu àndal, ak ni mu doon tontoo.
48When 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.”
48 Naka la ko waajuram yi gis, ñu daldi waaru. Yaayam ne ko: «Sama doom, lu tax nga def nu lii? Man ak sa baay nu ngi la doon seet, jaaxle lool.»
49He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
49 Mu ne leen: «Lu tax ngeen may seet? Xanaa xamuleen ne, damaa war a nekk ci sama kër Baay?»
50They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
50 Waaye xamuñu li kàddoom yi doon tekki.
51And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
51 Noonu Yeesu daldi ànd ak ñoom, dellu Nasaret te déggal ay waajuram. Fekk yaayam moom takk mbir yooyu yépp ci xolam.
52And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
52 Yeesoo ngi doon màgg ci jëmm, tey yokku ci xam-xam te neex Yàlla ak nit ñi.
