Lioka 2
1 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia nisy didy navoak’ i Aogosto Kaisara hampanoratra ny anaran’ ny vahoaka rehetra amin’ ny fanjakany.
And it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, so that the whole world would be enrolled.
2 (Izany no fanoratana voalohany natao fony Kyrenio nanapaka tany Syria.)
This was the first enrollment; it was made by the ruler of Syria, Quirinius.
3 Dia samy nankany amin’ ny tanànany avy izy rehetra mba hosoratana.
And all went to be declared, each one to his own city.
4 Ary Josefa koa niakatra avy tany Galilia, dia avy tao an-tanàna Nazareta, hankany Jodia, ho ao an-tanànan’ i Davida, iza atao hoe Betlehema (satria avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida sy ny mpianakaviny),
Then Joseph also ascended from Galilee, from 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,
5 mba hosoratana izy sy Maria fofom-badiny, izay efa bevohoka.
in order to be declared, with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
6 Ary raha nitoetra teo Izy, dia tonga ny andro hahavelomany.
Then it happened that, while they were there, the days were completed, so that she would give birth.
7 Ary niteraka ny Lahimatoany izy, dia nohodidininy lamban-jaza ka nampandriny teo amin’ ny fihinanam-bilona; fa tsy nisy nitoerany tao an-tranom-bahiny.
And she brought forth her firstborn son. And she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them at the inn.
8 Ary nisy mpiandry ondry tamin’ izany tany izany nitoetra tany an-tsaha nitandrina ny ondriny tamin’ ny alina.
And there were shepherds in the same region, being vigilant and keeping watch in the night over their flock.
9 Ary nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo nitsangana teo anilany, ary ny voninahitry ny Tompo nanelatrelatra manodidina azy, ka raiki-tahotra indrindra izy.
And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near them, and the brightness of God shone around them, and they were struck with a great fear.
10 Ary hoy ny anjely taminy: Aza matahotra; fa, indro, milaza teny soa mahafaly aminareo aho, dia fifaliana lehibe izay ho an’ ny olona rehetra;
And the Angel said to them: “Do not be afraid. For, behold, I proclaim to you a great joy, which will be for all the people.
11 fa Mpamonjy no teraka ho anareo anie ao an-tanànan’ i Davida, dia Kristy Tompo.
For today a Savior has been born for you in the city of David: he is Christ the Lord.
12 Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anareo: ianareo hahita Zazakely voahodidina lamban-jaza sady mandry ao am-pihinanam-bilona;
And this will be a sign for you: you will find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
13 Ary nisy anjely maro be avy any an-danitra niseho tampoka niaraka tamin’ ilay anjely teo ka nidera an’ Andriamanitra nanao hoe:
And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the celestial army, praising God and saying,
14 Voninahitra any amin’ ny avo Indrindra ho an’ Andriamanitra! Ary fiadanana ho etỳ ambonin’ ny tany amin’ ny olona ankasitrahany.
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.”
15 Ary tamin’ izany rehefa niala teo aminy ireo anjely ireo ka nankany an-danitra, dia niresaka ireo lehilahy mpiandry ondry ka nanao hoe: Andeha isika hankany Betlehema ka hizaha izany zavatra vao tonga izany, izay nampahafantarin’ ny Tompo antsika.
And it happened that, when the Angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us cross over to Bethlehem and see this word, which has happened, which the Lord has revealed to us.”
16 Dia nandeha faingana izy ka nahita an’ i Maria sy Josefa, ary ny Zazakely nandry teo am-pihinanam-bilona.
And they went quickly. And they found Mary and Joseph; and the infant was lying in a manger.
17 Ary nony efa nahita izy, dia nampiely izay teny nolazaina taminy ny amin’ izany Zaza izany.
Then, upon seeing this, they understood the word that had been spoken to them about this boy.
18 Ary izay rehetra nandre dia gaga tamin’ izay zavatra nolazain’ ny mpiandry ondry taminy.
And all who heard it were amazed by this, and by those things which were told to them by the shepherds.
19 Fa Maria kosa nitadidy izany teny rehetra izany ka nieritreritra azy tao am-pony.
But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
20 Ary ny mpiandry ondry niverina nankalaza ny nidera an’ Andriamanitra noho ny zavatra rehetra izay reny ny hitany, araka izay nolazaina taminy.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told to them.
21 Ary rehefa tapitra ny havaloana, ka hoforana ny Zaza, dia nataony hoe Jesosy ny anarany, araka ilay nataon’ ny anjely, fony tsy mbola torontoronina tao an-kibo Izy.
And after eight days were ended, so that the boy would be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, just as he was called by the Angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Ary rehefa tapitra ny andro fidiovany, araka ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, dia nitondra Azy niakatra tany Jerosalema izy mba hatolotra ho an’ ny Tompo
And after the days of her purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, in order to present him to the Lord,
23 araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ ny Tompo hoe: Ny lahy voalohan-teraka rehetra hatao hoe masìna ho an’ i Jehovah.
just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “For every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,”
24 ary mba hanatitra fanatitra araka izay voalaza ao amin’ ny lalàn’ ny Tompo hoe: domohina roa, na zana-boromailala roa.
and in order to offer a sacrifice, according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25 Ary, indro, nisy lehilahy atao hoe Simeona tao Jerosalema; ary marina sady mpivavaka tsara izany lehilahy izany ka niandry ny fampiononana ny Isiraely; ary ny Fanahy Masìna dia tao aminy.
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and God-fearing, awaiting the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was with him.
26 Ary efa nambaran’ ny Fanahy Masìna taminy fa tsy hahita fahafatesana izy mandra-pahitany ny Kristin’ ny Tompo.
And he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit: that he would not see his own death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
27 Ary nentin’ ny Fanahy Masìna niditra teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly izy; ary rehefa nampidirin’ ny ray aman-dreniny Jesosy zaza mba hanaovany araka ny fomban’ ny lalàna ny amin’ ny zaza,
And he went with the Spirit to the temple. And when the child Jesus was brought in by his parents, in order to act on his behalf according to the custom of the law,
28 dia nitrotro Azy izy ka nidera an’ Andriamanitra nanao hoe:
he also took him up, into his arms, and he blessed God and said:
29 Tompo ô, ankehitriny ny mpanomponao dia alefanao amin’ ny fiadanana Araka ny teninao;
“Now you may dismiss your servant in peace, O Lord, according to your word.
30 Fa ny masoko efa nahita ny famonjenao,
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 Izay namboarinao teo anatrehan’ ny firenena rehetra,
which you have prepared before the face of all peoples:
32 Dia fahazavana hahazava ny firenena sady voninahitry ny Isiraely olonao.
the light of revelation to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Dia gaga ny ray aman-dreniny noho ny teny nilazana Azy.
And his father and mother were wondering over these things, which were spoken about him.
34 Ary Simeona nitso-drano azy ireo ka nanao tamin’ i Maria, renin’ ny Zaza, hoe: Indro, Ity Zaza ity no voatendry ho fandavoana sy ho fananganana ny maro ao amin’ ny Isiraely ary ho famantarana holavina
And Simeon blessed them, and he said to his mother Mary: “Behold, this one has been set for the ruin and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and as a sign which will be contradicted.
35 ary ny fanahinao aza dia hotsatohana sabatra ― mba haseho ny hevitry ny fo maro.
And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
36 Ary nisy mpaminanivavy anankiray, dia Ana, zanakavavin’ i Fanoela, avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Asera; efa anti-panahy tokoa izy ary efa nitoetra tamin’ ny vadiny fito taona taorian’ ny naha-virijina azy,
And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years, and she had lived with her husband for seven years from her virginity.
37 ary efa mpitondratena tokony ho efatra amby valo-polo taona; ary tsy niala teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly izy, fa nanompo tamin’ ny fifadian-kanina sy ny fivavahana andro aman’ alina.
And then she was a widow, even to her eighty-fourth year. And without departing from the temple, she was a servant to fasting and prayer, night and day.
38 Ary nony niditra tamin’ izany ora izany izy, dia nisaotra an’ Andriamanitra ka nilaza Azy tamin’ izay rehetra niandry ny fanavotana tao Jerosalema.
And entering at the same hour, she confessed to the Lord. And she spoke about him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Israel.
39 Ary rehefa vitany ny zavatra rehetra araka ny lalàn’ ny Tompo, dia niverina tany Galilia izy, dia tao Nazareta tanànany.
And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth.
40 Ary ny Zaza dia nitombo ka nihahery sady feno fahendrena; ary ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra no tao aminy.
Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him.
41 Ary ny ray aman-dreniny nankany Jerosalema isan-taona, raha avy ny andro firavoravoana amin’ ny Paska.
And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the time of the solemnity of Passover.
42 Ary rehefa roa ambin’ ny folo taona Jesosy, dia niakatra izy ireo, araka ny fanao amin’ ny andro firavoravoana.
And when he had become twelve years old, they ascended to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast day.
43 Ary rehefa tapitra izany andro izany, ka nody izy, Jesosy zaza dia mbola nitoetra tany Jerosalema ihany, nefa tsy fantatry ny ray aman-dreniny izany;
And having completed the days, when they returned, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents did not realize this.
44 ary satria nataony fa niaraka tamin’ ny niara-dia taminy Izy, dia nandeha lalana indray andro izy vao nitady Azy tamin’ ny havany sy ny olom-pantany.
But, supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey, seeking him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Ary nony tsy nahita Azy izy, dia niverina ho any Jerosalema nitady Azy.
And not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Ary rehefa afaka hateloana, dia hitany teo an-kianjan’ ny tempoly Izy nipetraka teo afovoan’ ny mpampianatra ka nihaino sady nanontany azy.
And it happened that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, listening to them and questioning them.
47 Ary talanjona izay rehetra nandre Azy noho ny fahalalany sy ny famaliany.
But all who listened to him were astonished over his prudence and his responses.
48 Ary raha nahita Azy izy, dia talanjona, ka hoy ny reniny taminy: Anaka, nahoana no nanao toy izay taminay Hianao? He! izato alahelon-drainao sy izaho nitady Anao!
And upon seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: “Son, why have you acted this way toward us? Behold, your father and I were seeking you in sorrow.”
49 Fa hoy Izy taminy: Nahoana no nitady Ahy ianareo? tsy fantatrareo va fa tsy maintsy ho eto an-tranon’ ny Raiko Aho?
And he said to them: “How is it that you were seeking me? For did you not know that it is necessary for me to be in these things which are of my Father?”
50 Nefa tsy azon’ ireo ny teny izay nolazainy taminy.
And they did not understand the word that he spoke to them.
51 Ary niara-nidina taminy nankany Nazareta Izy ka nanoa azy. Ary ny reniny nitahiry izany teny rehetra izany tao am-pony.
And he descended with them and went to Nazareth. And he was subordinate to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
52 Ary Jesosy nitombo saina sy tena sady nandroso fitia tamin’ Andriamanitra sy ny olona.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and in age, and in grace, with God and men.
