1 W akhtigaas waxaa dhacay in amar ka soo baxay Kaysar Awgustus in dadka dunida jooga oo dhan la qoro.

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

2 Q orniinkaas kolkii ugu horreeyey waxaa la sameeyey markii Kuranayos xukumi jiray Suuriya.

( And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3 D hammaan waxay u wada tageen in la qoro, mid kastaba magaaladiisii.

And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4 Y uusufna Galili ayuu ka kacay, oo magaaladii Naasared ka tegey, oo wuxuu aaday Yahuudiya ilaa magaaladii Daa'uud oo Beytlaxam la odhan jiray, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ahaa dadkii iyo dhashii Daa'uud,

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

5 i n lala qoro Maryan oo ahayd tii u doonanayd oo uurka lahayd.

to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

6 W axaa dhacay kolkay halkaas joogeen in maalmihii ay umuli lahayd dhammaadeen,

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

7 w axayna umushay wiilkeedii curadka ahaa, markaasay maro ku duudduubtay oo qabaal ku jiifisay, waayo, meel ay ku hoydaan ayay hudheelkii ka waayeen.

And she brought forth 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 D alkaas waxaa jiray adhijirro bannaanka jooga oo habeenkii idahooda ilaalinaya.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 M alaa'igtii Rabbiga ayaa ag istaagtay, oo ammaanta Rabbiga ayaa iftiimisay hareerahooda, aad bayna u baqeen.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 M arkaasaa malaa'igtii ku tidhi, Ha baqina, waayo, ogaada, waxaan idiin keenay war wanaagsan oo leh farxad weyn oo u ahaan dadka oo dhan.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 W aayo, maanta waxaa magaalada Daa'uud idiinku dhashay Badbaadiye oo ah Masiixa Rabbiga ah.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 O o waxaa calaamo idiin ahaan tan, waxaad heli doontaan ilmo maro ku duudduuban oo ku jiifa qabaal.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 D haqsoba waxaa malaa'igtii la jirtay guuto fara badan oo jannada ka timid, wayna ammaanayeen Ilaah oo lahaayeen,

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 I laah ha ku ammaanmo meelaha ugu sarreeya, Xagga dhulkana nabad ha ahaato dadka ka farxiya Ilaah dhexdooda.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 W axaa dhacay markii malaa'igihii ka tageen oo jannada ku noqdeen in adhijirradii isku yidhaahdeen, Haddana aan tagno xataa ilaa Beytlaxam, aan aragnee waxaas dhacay oo Rabbiga ina ogeysiiyey.

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 M arkaasay dhaqso u yimaadeen oo waxay heleen Maryan iyo Yuusufba iyo ilmihii oo qabaal ku jiifa.

And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17 O o goortay arkeen, waxay ogeysiiyeen hadalka ilmahan looga sheegay iyaga.

And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 D adkii maqlay oo dhanna ayaa ka yaabay waxyaalihii adhijirradu u sheegeen.

And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

19 M aryanse hadalkaas oo dhan ayay haysatay oo qalbigeeda kaga fikirtay.

But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

20 A dhijirraduna way noqdeen iyagoo Ilaah ku ammaanaya oo ku weynaynaya waxyaalihii ay maqleen oo ay arkeen oo dhan, sidii iyaga loogu sheegay.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

21 G oortii siddeed maalmood dhammaatay oo wiilkii la gudi lahaa, magiciisii waxaa loo baxshay Ciise, sida malaa'igtii ugu bixisay intaan uurka lagu uuraysan. Ciisaa Rabbiga Loogu Dhiibay Macbudka Dhexdiisa

And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

22 K olkii maalmihii nadiifiskeeda u dhammaadeen sidii sharciga Muuse lahaa, waxay geeyeen Yeruusaalem inay Rabbiga u dhiibaan

And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;

23 ( siday ugu qoran tahay sharciga Rabbiga, Curad walba oo lab ah waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa quduus xagga Rabbiga),

(as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

24 i yo inay allabari u bixiyaan siday ugu qoran tahay sharciga Rabbiga, Laba qoolley ama laba xamaam oo yaryar. Simecoon Iyo Gabaygiisii Ammaanta Ahaa

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.

25 B al eeg, waxaa Yeruusaalem joogay nin magiciisii ahaa Simecoon. Ninkaasu wuxuu ahaa nin xaq ah oo cibaado leh; wuxuuna sugayay gargaaridda Israa'iil. Ruuxii Quduuska ahaana waa dul joogay.

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

26 W axaana Ruuxii Quduuska ahaa u muujiyey inaanu dhimasho arag intaanu Rabbiga Masiixiisa arkin.

And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

27 O o wuxuu Ruuxii ku galay macbudka, oo goortii waalidkii keeneen wiilkii Ciise ahaa inay caadadii sharciga ku sameeyaan,

And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,

28 m arkaasuu gacmihiisa ku qaaday, oo Ilaah ammaanay, oo yidhi,

then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

29 R abbiyow, imminka addoonkaagu nabad ha ku tago, Sida hadalkaagu ahaa,

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

30 W aayo, indhahaygu waxay arkeen badbaadintaada,

for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 T an aad dadka oo dhan hortiis hagaajisay,

which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

32 O o ah iftiin quruumaha lagu muujiyo, Iyo ammaanta dadkaaga Israa'iil.

a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

33 M arkaasaa aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis ka yaabeen waxyaalihii lagaga hadlay isaga.

And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

34 S imecoon ayaa iyaga u duceeyey, wuxuuna hooyadiis Maryan ku yidhi, Ogow, wiilkan waxaa loo dhigay dhicidda iyo kicidda kuwa badan oo Israa'iil ku jira, iyo calaamo ka gees ahaan lagaga hadlo,

And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

35 s i ay qalbiyo badan fikirradoodu u muuqan doonaan. Adigana seef baa naftaada ka mudhbixi doonta. Anna

(yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

36 W axaa jirtay nebiyad Anna la odhan jiray, ina Fanuu'eel, oo ahayd qoladii Aasheer, wayna da'weynayd; nin bayna la jirtay toddoba sannadood bikradnimadeeda dabadeed.

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

37 W axayna ahayd carmal xataa afar iyo siddeetan sannadood, macbudkana kama ay tegin, laakiin Ilaah ayay soon iyo salaad habeen iyo maalinba ku caabudaysay.

and she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

38 S aacaddaas qudheeda ayay soo gashay oo Ilaah u mahadnaqday, oo kuwa furashada Yeruusaalem sugayay oo dhan ayay xaggiisa kala hadashay. Ciise Carruurnimadiisii

And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

39 G oortay wax walba dhammeeyeen sida sharciga Rabbigu leeyahay, waxay ku noqdeen Galili ilaa magaaladoodii Naasared.

And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

40 W iilkii ayaa koray oo itaal weynaaday, waxaana ka buuxsantay xigmad; Ilaah nimcadiisuna way dul joogtay.

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

41 S annad walba waalidkiisii waxay Yeruusaalem u tegi jireen Iiddii Kormaridda.

Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.

42 G oortuu laba iyo toban sannadood jiray ayay aadeen sidii caadadii iiddu u ahayd.

And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

43 O o goortay maalmihii dhammaysteen, oo ay noqonayeen, ayaa Ciise wiilkii ahaa ku hadhay Yeruusaalem, waalidkiisuna ma ogayn,

And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.

44 l aakiin iyagoo u malaynaya inuu dadka la socdo, ayay maalin sii socdeen, markaasay ka dhex doondooneen xigaalkooda iyo kuway isbarteen.

But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

45 O o markay heli waayeen ayay Yeruusaalem ku noqdeen oo ka doondooneen.

And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.

46 W axaa noqotay, saddex maalmood dabadeed, inay macbudka ka heleen isagoo macallimiinta dhex fadhiya oo dhegaysanaya oo wax weyddiinaya.

And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

47 D adkii maqlay oo dhan ayaa la yaabay garashadiisii iyo jawaabihiisii.

And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

48 G oortay arkeen isagii way la yaabeen, oo hooyadiis ayaa ku tidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, maxaad sidaas noo yeeshay? Bal eeg, aniga iyo aabbahaa caloolxumo waannu kugu doondoonnay.

And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

49 M arkaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Maxaad ii doondoonayseen? Miyaanad ogayn inay igu waajib tahay inaan danta Aabbahay ku jeedo?

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?

50 L aakiin way garan waayeen hadalkii uu kula hadlay.

And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

51 K olkaasuu raacay oo Naasared tegey, wuuna ka dambeeyey iyaga; laakiinse hooyadiis hadalkaas oo dhan qalbigeeda ayay ku haysatay.

And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

52 C iisena wuxuu ku koray xigmad iyo dherer iyo nimco, Ilaah iyo dadka hortooda.

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
