Lukas 2
1 Eta guerta cedin egun hetan ethor baitzedin ordenança-bat Cesar Augustoren partez, scribuz iar ledin mundua oro.
Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
2 (Lehen descriptione haur eguin cedin Cyrenius Syriaco gobernadore cenean)
This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Eta ioaiten ciraden guciac scributan iartera, batbedera cein bere hirirát.
All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
4 Igan cedin bada Ioseph-ere Galileatic, Nazaretheco hiritic, Iudeara, Dauid-en ciuitate Bethlehem deitzen denera (ceren baitzén Dauid-en etchetic eta arraçatic)
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 Scributan iar ledinçát Maria emaztetan eman içan çayonarequin, cein baitzén içorra.
to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
6 Eta guertha cedin hec han ciradela, compli baitzitecen haren ertzeco egunac.
While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
7 Eta erdi cedin bere seme lehen iayoaz, eta bandatoz trocha ceçan hura, eta eçar ceçan mangederán, ceren ezpaitzén hayendaco lekuric ostalerián.
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 Eta ciraden comarca berean artzain campoetan ceunçanac, eta gauazco veillác bere arthaldearen gainean beguiratzen cituztenac.
There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 Eta huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä vstegaberic ethor cequién, eta Iaunaren gloriác argui ceçan hayén inguruän, eta icidura handiz ici citecen.
Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
11 Ecen Dauid-en ciuitatean iayo çaiçuela Saluadorea, cein baita Christ Iauna.
For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 Eta haur vkanen duçue seignale, eridenen baituçue haourra bandatoz trochatua, mangederán eçarria.
This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
13 Eta bertan Aingueruärequin eguin cedin armada celestial multzobat, laudatzen çutela Iaincoa, eta cioitela,
Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
14 Gloria ceru guciz goretan Iaincoari, eta lurrean baque, guiçonac baithara vorondate ona.
“Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
15 Eta guertha cedin, hetaric Aingueruäc cerurat ioan ciradenean, erran baitzeçaten artzainec elkarren artean, Goacen bada Bethlehemerano, eta dacussagun eguin içan den gauça haur, cein Iaunac iaquin eraci baitraucu.
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 Eta ethor citecen lehiatuqui, eta eriden citzaten Maria eta Ioseph, eta haourtchoa mangederán eçarria.
They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
17 Eta ikussi vkan çutenean, publica ceçaten haourtchoaz erran içan çayena.
When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.

All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.

But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 Eta itzul citecen artzainac, glorificatzen eta laudatzen çutela Iaincoa, ençun eta ikussi vkan cituzten gauça guciéz, erran içan cayen beçala.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.

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 Eta complitu içan ciradenean Mariaren purificationeco egunac Moysesen leguearen arauez, eraman ceçaten haourtchoa, Ierusalemera, Iaunari presenta lieçotençát.
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 (Nola baita scribatua Iaunaren Leguean, Ar vme-vncia irequiten duen gucia, saindu Iaunari deithuren çayó)
(as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
24 Eta eman leçatençát oblationea, Iaunaren Leguean erran denaren araura, turturela pare-bat, edo bi vsso columba vme.
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.”

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 Eta denuntiatu içan çayón diuinoqui Spiritu sainduaz, etzuela herioric ikussiren, non lehen ikus ezleçan Christ Iaunarena.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

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 Harc orduan har ceçan hura bere bessoetara, eta lauda ceçan Iaincoa, eta erran ceçan,
then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
29 Iauna, orain vtziten duc eure cerbitzaria, eure hitzaren araura baquez.
“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
30 Ecen ikussi dié ene beguiéc hire saluagarria,
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 Cein preparatu baituc populu gucién beguitharte aitzinean.

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 Are eurorren arima-ere iraganen din ezpata batec, aguer ditecençát anhitz bihotzetaco pensamenduac.
Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.

43 Eta hartaco egunac complitu ciradenean, hec itzultzen ciradela, azquen cedin Iesus haourra Ierusalemen: eta etzaquión ohart Ioseph, ez bere ama:
and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know it,
44 Baina vstez hura compainian cen, ioan citecen egun baten bidean: eta haren bilha çabiltzan ahaidén eta eçagunén artean.

When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.

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 Orduan dioste, Cergatic da ene bilha baitzinabiltzaten? etzinaquitén ecen neure Aitaren eguitecoetan occupatua behar dudala içan?

They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
51 Orduan iauts cedin hequin, eta ethor cedin Nazarethera: eta cen hayen suiet: eta haren amac beguiratzen cituen hitz hauc gucioc bere bihotzean.
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.

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
