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 forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, for all the inhabited earth to be enrolled:
2 (Lehen descriptione haur eguin cedin Cyrenius Syriaco gobernadore cenean)
this enrolment, first was made while Cyrenius was governor of Syria:
3 Eta ioaiten ciraden guciac scributan iartera, batbedera cein bere hirirát.
and all were journeying to be enrolled, each one unto 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)
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of a city Nazareth, into Judaea, into 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 enrol himself with Mary who was betrothed to him, she being with child.
6 Eta guertha cedin hec han ciradela, compli baitzitecen haren ertzeco egunac.
And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days were fulfilled 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.
and she gave birth to her firstborn son, 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 the same country, dwelling in the fields, and keeping the watches of the night over their flock.
9 Eta huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä vstegaberic ethor cequién, eta Iaunaren gloriác argui ceçan hayén inguruän, eta icidura handiz ici citecen.
And, a messenger of the Lord, stood over them, and, a glory of the Lord, shone round about them; and they feared, a great fear.
And the messenger said unto them—Be not afraid! For lo! I bring you good tidings of a great joy, the which shall be for all the people:
11 Ecen Dauid-en ciuitatean iayo çaiçuela Saluadorea, cein baita Christ Iauna.
That there hath been born unto you, this day, a saviour, —Who is Christ the Lord—in the city of David!
12 Eta haur vkanen duçue seignale, eridenen baituçue haourra bandatoz trochatua, mangederán eçarria.
And, this, to you is, a sign: Ye shall find a babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.
13 Eta bertan Aingueruärequin eguin cedin armada celestial multzobat, laudatzen çutela Iaincoa, eta cioitela,
And, suddenly, there came to be, with the messenger, the throng 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, unto God! And, on earth, peace, among men of goodwill.
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, when the messengers had departed from them into heaven, that, the shepherds, began to say one to another—Let us go through forthwith as far as to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath come to pass, 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 both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
17 Eta ikussi vkan çutenean, publica ceçaten haourtchoaz erran içan çayena.
Now, when they beheld, they made known concerning the thing which had been told them as to this child.
18 Eta ençun vkan cituzten guciéc mirets ceçaten hæy artzainéz erran içan çaizten gaucén gainean.
And, all who heard, marvelled concerning the things which had been told by the shepherds unto them;
19 Eta Mariac beguiratzen cituen gauça hauc guciac, bere bihotzean ehaiten cituela.
but, Mary, was closely observing, all, these things, putting them together 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 shepherds returned, giving glory and singing praise unto God, over all things which they had heard and seen, according as it had been told unto 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 him, then was his name called, Jesus, —which it was called by the messenger, 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 their purification, according to the law of Moses, were fulfilled, they took him up into Jerusalem, to present [him] unto the Lord, —
23 (Nola baita scribatua Iaunaren Leguean, Ar vme-vncia irequiten duen gucia, saindu Iaunari deithuren çayó)
according as it is written in the law of the Lord—Every male that is a firstborn, Holy unto the Lord, shall be called,
24 Eta eman leçatençát oblationea, Iaunaren Leguean erran denaren araura, turturela pare-bat, edo bi vsso columba vme.
and to give a sacrifice, according to that which is said 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 lo! there was, a man, in Jerusalem, whose name, was Symeon; and, this man, was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and Holy Spirit was upon him;
26 Eta denuntiatu içan çayón diuinoqui Spiritu sainduaz, etzuela herioric ikussiren, non lehen ikus ezleçan Christ Iaunarena.
and it had been intimated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
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, in the Spirit, into the temple; and, when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do according to that which was customary by the law concerning it,
28 Harc orduan har ceçan hura bere bessoetara, eta lauda ceçan Iaincoa, eta erran ceçan,
even he, welcomed it into his arms, and blessed God, and said—
29 Iauna, orain vtziten duc eure cerbitzaria, eure hitzaren araura baquez.
Now, dost thou dismiss thy servant, O Sovereign, according to thy declaration—in peace;
30 Ecen ikussi dié ene beguiéc hire saluagarria,
Because mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Cein preparatu baituc populu gucién beguitharte aitzinean.
Which thou hast prepared in face of all the peoples:
32 Argui Gentiley arguitzecoa, eta Israeléco hire populuaren gloriá.
A light for the unveiling of nations, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Eta haren aita eta ama miraz ceuden harçaz erraiten ciraden gaucéz.
And his father and mother were marvelling over the things which were being 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 Symeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother—Lo! this one, is being set for the falling and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign to be spoken against;
35 Are eurorren arima-ere iraganen din ezpata batec, aguer ditecençát anhitz bihotzetaco pensamenduac.
And, thou! through thy very soul, shall pass a sword, that, reasonings, may be revealed, out of many hearts.
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 one Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; —the same, advanced in many days; having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
37 Eta lauroguey eta laur vrtheren inguruco alharguna celaric, etzen partitzen templetic, barurez eta orationez cerbitzatzen çuela Iaincoa gau eta egun.
and, she, had been a widow for as long as eighty-four years, —who left not the temple, with fastings and supplications, rendering divine service night and day; —
38 Hunec-ere bada ordu berean ethorriric, laudatzen çuen Iauna, eta harçaz minço çayen redemptionearen beguira Ierusalemen ceuden guciey.
and, in that very hour, coming near, she began to give thanks unto God, and to speak concerning him unto all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 Eta acabatu çutenean gucia Iaunaren Leguearen araura, itzul citecen Galileara, bere Nazaretheco hirira.
And, when they had finished all things that were 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, went on growing, and waxing strong, becoming filled with wisdom; and, the favour of God, was upon it.
41 Eta ioaiten ciraden haren aita-amác vrthe oroz Ierusalemera Bazco bestán.
And his parents used to journey yearly into Jerusalem, at the feast of the passover.
42 Eta hamabi vrthetara heldu cenean, igan citecen hec Ierusalemera bestaco costumaren arauez:
And, when he became twelve years, and they went up, 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 completed the days, and then were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, —and his parents noticed 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, went a day’s journey, and then began to seek for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances,
45 Eta erideiten etzutenean, bihur citecen Ierusalemera, haren bilha çabiltzala.
and, not finding him, returned unto Jerusalem, seeking 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, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting amidst the teachers, —both hearkening unto them, and questioning them.
47 Eta spantatzen ciraden hura ençuten çutén guciac, haren iaquinaren eta respostuén gainean.
Now all who heard him were beside themselves, because of his understanding and his 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 behold him, they were astounded, and his mother said unto him—Child! why, hast thou dealt with us, thus? Lo! thy father and I, in anguish, were seeking thee.
49 Orduan dioste, Cergatic da ene bilha baitzinabiltzaten? etzinaquitén ecen neure Aitaren eguitecoetan occupatua behar dudala içan?
And he said unto them—Why was it that ye were seeking me? Perceived ye not, that, in the courts of my Father, I must needs be?
50 Baina hec etzeçaten adi erran cerauen hitza.
And, they, understood not the thing which 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 submitting himself unto them. And, his mother, was closely observing all these things in her heart.
52 Eta Iesus auançatzen cen sapientiaz eta handitzez, eta gratiaz Iaincoa baithan eta guiçonac baithan.
And, Jesus, went on advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.
