Lukas 2
1 Eta guerta cedin egun hetan ethor baitzedin ordenança-bat Cesar Augustoren partez, scribuz iar ledin mundua oro.
NOW it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole land should be registered.
2 (Lehen descriptione haur eguin cedin Cyrenius Syriaco gobernadore cenean)
(And this first enrolment was made by Cyrenius, afterwards governor of Syria)
3 Eta ioaiten ciraden guciac scributan iartera, batbedera cein bere hirirát.
And all went to be registered, every one 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)
Then Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, 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 be enregistered with Mary, the wife espoused to him, who was big with child.
6 Eta guertha cedin hec han ciradela, compli baitzitecen haren ertzeco egunac.
And it came to pass, while they were there, that her time was up, that she should be delivered.
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 forth a son, her first-born, and wrapped him in swaddling-clothes, and laid him in a manger, 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.
And there were shepherds in that country abiding in the open air, and keeping guard over their flock by night.
9 Eta huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä vstegaberic ethor cequién, eta Iaunaren gloriác argui ceçan hayén inguruän, eta icidura handiz ici citecen.
And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were exceedingly affrighted.
And the angel said unto them, Be not affrighted: for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.
11 Ecen Dauid-en ciuitatean iayo çaiçuela Saluadorea, cein baita Christ Iauna.
Because this day there is born for you a Saviour, which is Messiah, the Lord, in the city of David.
12 Eta haur vkanen duçue seignale, eridenen baituçue haourra bandatoz trochatua, mangederán eçarria.
And this shall be a sign for you; Ye shall find the babe in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger.
13 Eta bertan Aingueruärequin eguin cedin armada celestial multzobat, laudatzen çutela Iaincoa, eta cioitela,
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,
14 Gloria ceru guciz goretan Iaincoari, eta lurrean baque, guiçonac baithara vorondate ona.
Glory in the highest heavens to God! and upon earth, peace! towards men complacence.
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 pass, as the angels went from them into heaven, the men, the shepherds, said also to each other, Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath happened, which the Lord hath made known to us.
16 Eta ethor citecen lehiatuqui, eta eriden citzaten Maria eta Ioseph, eta haourtchoa mangederán eçarria.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe, lying in the manger:
17 Eta ikussi vkan çutenean, publica ceçaten haourtchoaz erran içan çayena.
and when they saw it, they made a public report of the declaration delivered to them respecting this child.
18 Eta ençun vkan cituzten guciéc mirets ceçaten hæy artzainéz erran içan çaizten gaucén gainean.
And all who heard it, marvelled at the things told them by the shepherds.
19 Eta Mariac beguiratzen cituen gauça hauc guciac, bere bihotzean ehaiten cituela.
But Mary carefully preserved all these declarations, laying them together in her heart, in order to apprehend their meaning.
20 Eta itzul citecen artzainac, glorificatzen eta laudatzen çutela Iaincoa, ençun eta ikussi vkan cituzten gauça guciéz, erran içan cayen beçala.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things which they had heard and seen, exactly as had been told 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 eight days were fulfilled for circumcising the child, his name also was called JESUS, the name imposed 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.
And when the days of her purification were accomplished according to the law of Moses, they brought him 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 child, that openeth 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 what is prescribed in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle doves, or two young 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 at Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 Eta denuntiatu içan çayón diuinoqui Spiritu sainduaz, etzuela herioric ikussiren, non lehen ikus ezleçan Christ Iaunarena.
And it had been divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, till he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.
27 Hura bada ethor cedin Spirituaz mouituric templera: eta sartzen çutela Iesus haourra bere aita-améc, haren causaz eguin leçatencát Legueco costumaren araura:
And he came by the spirit into the temple; just as the parents were bringing in the child Jesus, that they might do according to what was the custom of the law concerning him;
28 Harc orduan har ceçan hura bere bessoetara, eta lauda ceçan Iaincoa, eta erran ceçan,
and he took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Iauna, orain vtziten duc eure cerbitzaria, eure hitzaren araura baquez.
Now dismiss thy servant, Lord, according to thy word, in peace;
30 Ecen ikussi dié ene beguiéc hire saluagarria,
for my eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Cein preparatu baituc populu gucién beguitharte aitzinean.
which thou hast prepared before the face of all people.
32 Argui Gentiley arguitzecoa, eta Israeléco hire populuaren gloriá.
A light to give revelation to the Gentiles, and glory to thy people Israel.
33 Eta haren aita eta ama miraz ceuden harçaz erraiten ciraden gaucéz.
And Joseph and his mother were amazed at the things spoken concerning him.
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 said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall, and rising again of many in Israel; and for a marked object to be spoken against;
35 Are eurorren arima-ere iraganen din ezpata batec, aguer ditecençát anhitz bihotzetaco pensamenduac.
(so shall a dart pierce through thy own soul) that the reasonings of many hearts may be laid open,
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.
And there was Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asser: she was far advanced in old age, having lived but seven years with a husband, from her virgin state:
37 Eta lauroguey eta laur vrtheren inguruco alharguna celaric, etzen partitzen templetic, barurez eta orationez cerbitzatzen çuela Iaincoa gau eta egun.
though she was now a widow, of about eighty-four years, who departed not from the temple, attending the divine service, with fastings and prayers night and day:
38 Hunec-ere bada ordu berean ethorriric, laudatzen çuen Iauna, eta harçaz minço çayen redemptionearen beguira Ierusalemen ceuden guciey.
and at the very same moment coming up, she also in turn confessed the Lord, and spake of him to all who were expecting redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Eta acabatu çutenean gucia Iaunaren Leguearen araura, itzul citecen Galileara, bere Nazaretheco hirira.
And when they had finished all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, into their own city Nazareth.
40 Eta haourtchoa handitzen cen eta spirituz fortificatzen, eta bethatzen cen sapientiaz: eta Iaincoaren gratiá cen haren gainean.
And the child grew, and became endued with great powers of spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Eta ioaiten ciraden haren aita-amác vrthe oroz Ierusalemera Bazco bestán.
And his parents went annually to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
42 Eta hamabi vrthetara heldu cenean, igan citecen hec Ierusalemera bestaco costumaren arauez:
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast.
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 concluded the days, as they were returning, the child Jesus remained at Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother knew it not:
44 Baina vstez hura compainian cen, ioan citecen egun baten bidean: eta haren bilha çabiltzan ahaidén eta eçagunén artean.
but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their relations and acquaintances;
45 Eta erideiten etzutenean, bihur citecen Ierusalemera, haren bilha çabiltzala.
and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
46 Eta guertha cedin, hirur egunen buruän eriden baitzeçaten hura templean, iarriric cegoela doctoren artean, hæy behatzen çayela eta hec interrogatzen cituela.
And it came to pass after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and asking them questions.
47 Eta spantatzen ciraden hura ençuten çutén guciac, haren iaquinaren eta respostuén gainean.
And all who heard him, were in a transport of admiration, at his understanding and answers.
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.
And when they saw him, they were struck with surprise; and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou behaved to us in this manner? lo! thy father and I have been seeking thee in anguish of heart.
49 Orduan dioste, Cergatic da ene bilha baitzinabiltzaten? etzinaquitén ecen neure Aitaren eguitecoetan occupatua behar dudala içan?
And he said unto them, Wherefore did ye seek me? did you not know, that I must be occupied with my Father’s affairs?
50 Baina hec etzeçaten adi erran cerauen hitza.
And they understood not the meaning of what 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.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was in subjection to them: though his mother preserved all these sayings in her heart.
52 Eta Iesus auançatzen cen sapientiaz eta handitzez, eta gratiaz Iaincoa baithan eta guiçonac baithan.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
