(This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was gouernour of Syria.)
3 Eta ioaiten ciraden guciac scributan iartera, batbedera cein bere hirirát.
Therefore went all to be taxed, euery man to his owne Citie.
4 Igan cedin bada Ioseph-ere Galileatic, Nazaretheco hiritic, Iudeara, Dauid-en ciuitate Bethlehem deitzen denera (ceren baitzén Dauid-en etchetic eta arraçatic)
And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid, )
5 Scributan iar ledinçát Maria emaztetan eman içan çayonarequin, cein baitzén içorra.

7 Eta erdi cedin bere seme lehen iayoaz, eta bandatoz trocha ceçan hura, eta eçar ceçan mangederán, ceren ezpaitzén hayendaco lekuric ostalerián.
And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne.
8 Eta ciraden comarca berean artzain campoetan ceunçanac, eta gauazco veillác bere arthaldearen gainean beguiratzen cituztenac.
And there were in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke.
9 Eta huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä vstegaberic ethor cequién, eta Iaunaren gloriác argui ceçan hayén inguruän, eta icidura handiz ici citecen.
And loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide.
Then the Angel saide vnto them, Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to all the people,
11 Ecen Dauid-en ciuitatean iayo çaiçuela Saluadorea, cein baita Christ Iauna.
That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 Eta haur vkanen duçue seignale, eridenen baituçue haourra bandatoz trochatua, mangederán eçarria.
And this shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch.
13 Eta bertan Aingueruärequin eguin cedin armada celestial multzobat, laudatzen çutela Iaincoa, eta cioitela,
And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praising God, and saying,
14 Gloria ceru guciz goretan Iaincoari, eta lurrean baque, guiçonac baithara vorondate ona.
Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will.
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.
And it came to passe whe the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, that the shepheards sayde one to another, Let vs goe then vnto Beth-leem, and see this thing that is come to passe which the Lord hath shewed vnto vs.
16 Eta ethor citecen lehiatuqui, eta eriden citzaten Maria eta Ioseph, eta haourtchoa mangederán eçarria.
So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.
17 Eta ikussi vkan çutenean, publica ceçaten haourtchoaz erran içan çayena.
And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe.
18 Eta ençun vkan cituzten guciéc mirets ceçaten hæy artzainéz erran içan çaizten gaucén gainean.
And all that heard it, wondred at ye things which were tolde them of the shepheards.
19 Eta Mariac beguiratzen cituen gauça hauc guciac, bere bihotzean ehaiten cituela.
But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred 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.
And the shepheardes returned glorifiyng and praising God, for all that they had heard and seene as it was spoken vnto them.
21 Eta complitu içan ciradenean haourtchoaren circonciditzeco çortzi egunac, orduan deithu içan da haren icena Iesus, nola deithu içan baitzén Aingueruäz, sabelean concebi cedin baino lehen.
And when the eight daies were accomplished, that they shoulde circumcise the childe, his name was then called Iesus, which was named of the Angell, before he was conceiued in the wombe.
22 Eta complitu içan ciradenean Mariaren purificationeco egunac Moysesen leguearen arauez, eraman ceçaten haourtchoa, Ierusalemera, Iaunari presenta lieçotençát.
And when the daies of her purification after the Lawe of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lord,

(As it is written in the Lawe of the Lord, Euery man childe that first openeth ye wombe, shalbe 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 giue an oblation, as it is commanded in the Lawe of the Lord, a paire of turtle doues, or two yong pigeons.
25 Eta huná, cen guiçombat Ierusalemen Simeon deitzen cenic: eta cen guiçon haur iusto eta Iaincoaren beldur, Israeleco consolationearen beguira cegoena: eta Spiritu saindua cen haren gainean.
And behold, there was a man in Hierusalem, whose name was Simeon: this man was iust, and feared God, and waited for the consolation of Israel, and the holy Ghost was vpon him.
26 Eta denuntiatu içan çayón diuinoqui Spiritu sainduaz, etzuela herioric ikussiren, non lehen ikus ezleçan Christ Iaunarena.
And it was declared to him from God by the holy Ghost, that he shoulde not see death, before he had seene that Anointed of the Lord.

And he came by the motion of the spirit into the Temple, and when the parents brought in the babe Iesus, to do for him after the custome of the Lawe,

34 Eta benedica citzan Simeonec, eta erran cieçón haren ama Mariari, Huná, eçarri içan dun haur anhitzen destructionetan, eta anhitzen resurrectionetan Israelen, eta signotan ceini nehor contrastaturen baitzayo:
And Simeon blessed them, and saide vnto Mary his mother, Beholde, this childe is appointed for the fall and rising againe of many in Israel, and for a signe which shalbe spoken against,
35 Are eurorren arima-ere iraganen din ezpata batec, aguer ditecençát anhitz bihotzetaco pensamenduac.
(Yea and a sworde shall pearce through thy soule) that the thoughts of many heartes may be opened.
36 Bacén prophetessabat-ere Anna deitzen cenic Phanuel-en alaba, Aser-en leinuco, cein baitzén ia adin handitacoa, eta vici içan cen senharrarequin çazpi vrthez bere virginitateaz gueroztic.

She then coming at the same instant vpon them, confessed likewise the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Hierusalem.

43 Eta hartaco egunac complitu ciradenean, hec itzultzen ciradela, azquen cedin Iesus haourra Ierusalemen: eta etzaquión ohart Ioseph, ez bere ama:
And had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother,
44 Baina vstez hura compainian cen, ioan citecen egun baten bidean: eta haren bilha çabiltzan ahaidén eta eçagunén artean.
But they supposing, that he had bene in the company, went a dayes iourney, and sought him among their kinsfolke, and acquaintance.
45 Eta erideiten etzutenean, bihur citecen Ierusalemera, haren bilha çabiltzala.

And it came to passe three dayes after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the mids of the doctours, both hearing them, and asking them questions:

And all that heard him, were astonied at his vnderstanding and answeres.
48 Eta hura ikussiric spanta citecen: eta erran cieçón bere amác, Semé, cergatic horrela eguin draucuc? huná, hire aita eta ni keichuric hire bilha guiniabiltzán.
So when they sawe him, they were amased, and his mother said vnto him, Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee with very heauie hearts.
49 Orduan dioste, Cergatic da ene bilha baitzinabiltzaten? etzinaquitén ecen neure Aitaren eguitecoetan occupatua behar dudala içan?
Then said he vnto them, Howe is it that ye sought me? knewe ye not that I must goe about my Fathers busines?
50 Baina hec etzeçaten adi erran cerauen hitza.
But they vnderstoode not the word that he spake 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.
Then hee went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Eta Iesus auançatzen cen sapientiaz eta handitzez, eta gratiaz Iaincoa baithan eta guiçonac baithan.
And Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.
