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

Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.

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

This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.

She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 D alkaas waxaa jiray adhijirro bannaanka jooga oo habeenkii idahooda ilaalinaya.

There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.

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

Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

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.

The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.

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

For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

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

This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”

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

Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army 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, 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.

When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”

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

They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.

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

When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.

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

All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.

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

But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering 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.

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told 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

When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by 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

When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up 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),

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.

Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.

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

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit 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,

He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,

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

then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;

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

Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning 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 to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.

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.

There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a 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.

Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

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

When they had accomplished all things that were 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.

The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

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

His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.

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

but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.

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

When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.

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

After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.

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

All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his 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.

When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”

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

He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

50 L aakiin way garan waayeen hadalkii uu kula hadlay.

They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to 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. He was subject to them, and 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 favor with God and men.
