Luke 1
1 Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to arrange in order a narration about the deeds that have been brought to fullness among us,
Namoonni baayʼeen seenaa wantoota nu gidduutti raawwatame sanaa barreessuu yaalaniiru;
2 just as they delivered them to us, who became from the beginning eyewitnesses and servants of the word,
kunis akka warri jalqabaa kaasanii ijaan arganii fi tajaajiltoota dubbichaa turan sun nutti dabarsanii kennanitti.
3 it occurred to me also, having followed closely from the beginning all things accurately, to write to thee in order, eminent Theophilus,
Kanaafuu yaa Tewofilos kabajamaa, anis jalqabumaa kaasee waan hundumaa sirriitti ergan qoradhee booddee seenaa sana wal duraa duubaan siif barreessuun waan gaarii natti fakkaateera.
4 so that thou might know the certainty of the declarations about which thou were instructed.
Kunis akka wanni ati baratte sun dhugaa taʼe akka beektuuf.
5 It came to pass in the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zacharias, from the division of Abijah, and his wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
Bara Heroodis mootii Yihuudaa turetti ramaddii lubummaa Abiyaa keessaa luba Zakkaariyaas jedhamu tokkotu ture; niitiin isaa Elsaabeexis sanyii Aroon.
6 And they were both righteous before God, going in all the commandments and righteous things of the Lord blameless.
Lamaan isaanii iyyuu ajajaa fi seera Gooftaa hunda mudaa malee eeguudhaan fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeeltota turan.
7 And there was no child to them because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in their days.
Garuu Elsaabeex waan dhabduu turteef ijoollee hin qaban ture; lamaan isaanii iyyuu dulloomanii turan.
8 But it came to pass during his service as a priest in the course of his division in the presence of God,
Zakkaariyaasis dabareen garee isaa geenyaan utuu fuula Waaqaa duratti tajaajila lubummaa isaa kennaa jiruu,
9 that, according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to burn incense after entering into the temple of the Lord.
akkuma duudhaa lubummaatti akka mana qulqullummaa Gooftaa seenee ixaana aarsuuf ixaadhaan filatame.
10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Yeroo ixaanni aarfamuttis namoonni baayʼeen alatti kadhachaa turan.
11 And an agent of the Lord became visible to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Ergamaan Gooftaas iddoo aarsaa ixaanaatiin mirga dhaabatee Zakkaariyaasitti mulʼate.
12 And Zacharias having seen, was shaken, and fear fell upon him.
Zakkaariyaasis yommuu isa argetti ni rifate; sodaanis isa qabate.
13 But the agent said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy plea was heard, and thy wife Elizabeth will bear a son for thee. And thou shall call his name John.
Ergamaan sun garuu akkana isaan jedhe; “Yaa Zakkaariyaas, hin sodaatin; kadhannaan kee dhagaʼameera. Niitiin kee Elsaabeex ilma siif deessi; atis maqaa isaa Yohannis jedhii moggaasi.
14 And there will be joy and exultation for thee, and many will rejoice at his birth.
Ati ilillee fi gammachuu ni qabaatta; namoonni baayʼeenis dhalachuu isaatti ni gammadu;
15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he should, no, not drink wine and strong drink. And he will be filled of the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's belly.
inni fuula Gooftaa duratti guddaa taʼaatii. Daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu gonkumaa dhuguu hin qabu; utuma garaa haadha isaa keessa jiruus Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ni guutama.
16 And he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God.
Saba Israaʼel keessaas namoota baayʼee gara Gooftaa, gara Waaqa isaaniitti ni deebisa.
17 And he will go ahead, in front of him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of fathers toward children, and the disobedient in a mentality of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.
Innis saba Gooftaaf qophaaʼe tokko kurfeessuuf jedhee garaa abbootii gara ijoollee isaaniitti, warra hin ajajamne immoo gara ogummaa qajeeltotaatti deebisuuf hafuuraa fi humna Eeliyaasiin fuula Gooftaa dura ni deema.”
18 And Zacharias said to the agent, How will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days.
Zakkaariyaasis, “Ani akkamittin kana beeka? Ani dulloomeera; umuriin niitii kootiis deemee jira” jedhee ergamaa sana gaafate.
19 And having answered, the agent said to him, I am Gabriel who stand in the presence of God. And I was sent to speak to thee, and to announce these good news to thee.
Ergamaan sunis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani Gabriʼeel isa fuula Waaqaa dura dhaabatuu dha; anis sitti dubbachuu fi oduu gammachiisaa kana sitti himuuf ergameera.
20 And behold, thou will be mute, and not able to speak until that day these things will come to pass, because thou did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.
Kunoo, ati sababii dubbii koo isa yeroo isaatti mirkanaaʼu hin amaniniif hamma gaafa wanni kun taʼuutti ni duudda; dubbachuus hin dandeessu.”
21 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they wondered during his delay in the temple.
Uummannis yeroo sana sababii Zakkaariyaas yeroo akkas dheeratu mana qulqullummaa keessa tureef dinqifachaa isa eegaa ture.
22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they recognized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was beckoning to them, and remained speechless.
Garuu Zakkaariyaas yommuu gad baʼetti waan isaanitti dubbachuu hin dandaʼiiniif isaan akka inni mana qulqullummaa keessatti mulʼata wayii arge hubatan; innis mallattoon isaanitti himaa ture malee dubbachuu hin dandeenye.
23 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
Innis yommuu yeroon tajaajila isaa raawwatetti gara mana isaatti deebiʼe.
24 And after these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she concealed herself five months, saying,
Ergasii niitiin isaa Elsaabeex ulfooftee hamma jiʼa shaniitti manaa hin baane.
25 Thus the Lord has done to me during the days in which he looked, to take away my shame among men.
Isheenis, “Gooftaan salphina namoota gidduutti narra ture narraa kaasuuf jedhee guyyaa arjummaan na yaadatetti waan kana naa godhe” jette.
26 Now in the sixth month the agent Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Jiʼa jaʼaffaattis Gabriʼeel Ergamichi Waaqa biraa gara magaalaa Naazreeti ishee Galiilaa keessatti argamtuutti ergame;
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary.
innis gara durba namichi sanyii Daawit irraa dhalate kan maqaan isaa Yoosef jedhamu tokkoof kaadhimamtee dhufe. Maqaan durba qulqullittii sanaas Maariyaam ture.
28 And the agent having come in near her, he said, Hail, thou who are highly favored. The Lord is with thee, thou who are blessed among women.
Ergamaan Waaqaa sunis gara ishee dhaqee, “Yaa ishee surraa argatte; nagaan siif haa taʼu! Gooftaan si wajjin jira” jedhe.
29 But having seen, she was perplexed at his saying, and was pondering what kind of greeting this might be.
Maariyaam garuu dubbii ergamaa sanaatiin akka malee jeeqamtee, “Kun nagaa akkamiitii?” jettee yaadde.
30 And the agent said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou have found favor with God.
Ergamichi garuu akkana isheedhaan jedhe; “Yaa Maariyaam, hin sodaatin; ati Waaqa biraa surraa argatteertaatii.
31 And behold, thou will conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son. And thou shall call his name JESUS.
Kunoo ni ulfoofta; Ilmas ni deessa; maqaa isaas Yesuus jettee moggaafta.
32 This man will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David.
Innis guddaa ni taʼa; Ilma Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii jedhamees ni waamama. Waaqni Gooftaanis teessoo Abbaa isaa Daawit ni kennaaf;
33 And he will reign over the house of Jacob into the ages. And of his kingdom there will be no end. (aiōn g165)
inni mana Yaaqoob irratti bara baraan ni moʼa; mootummaan isaas dhuma hin qabu.” (aiōn g165)
34 And Mary said to the agent, How will this be, since I know not a man?
Maariyaamis, “Ani durba; yoos wanni kun akkamitti taʼuu dandaʼa ree?” jettee ergamaa sana gaafatte.
35 And having answered, the agent said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee. Therefore also the holy thing that is begotten will be called the Son of God.
Ergamaan sunis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Hafuurri Qulqulluun sirra buʼa; humni Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis si golbooba. Kanaaf inni qulqulluun dhalatu sun Ilma Waaqaa ni jedhama.
36 And behold, Elizabeth thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Kunoo, firri kee Elsaabeexi iyyuu dulluma ishee keessa ilma ulfoofteerti; isheen dhabduu jedhamaa turte sun jiʼa jaʼaffaa qabatteerti.
37 For no word from God will be impossible.
Wanni Waaqaaf hin dandaʼamne hin jiruutii.”
38 And Mary said, Behold the maid-servant of the Lord. May it happen to me according to thy word. And the agent departed from her.
Maariyaamis, “Kunoo, ani garbittii Gooftaa ti. Akkuma ati dubbatte naaf haa taʼu” jetteen. Ergamichis ishee dhiisee deeme.
39 And having risen in these days, Mary went with haste into the hill country, into a city of Judah,
Yeroo sana Maariyaam kaatee ariitiidhaan gara magaalaa baddaa biyya Yihuudaa tokkoo dhaqxe.
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
Isheenis mana Zakkaariyaas seentee Elsaabeexin nagaa gaafatte.
41 And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled of the Holy Spirit,
Elsaabeexis yommuu nagaa Maariyaam dhageessetti mucaan sun gadameessa ishee keessa uʼutaale. Elsaabeexis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan ni guutamte.
42 and she exclaimed in a great voice, and said, Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy belly.
Isheenis sagalee ishee ol fudhattee iyyitee akkana jette; “Ati dubartoota keessaa eebbifamtuu dha; mucaan ati deessus eebbifamaa dha.
43 And why is this to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?
Garuu akka haati Gooftaa koo gara koo dhuftuuf arjummaan akkanaa akkamitti naa godhame?
44 For lo, when the voice of thy greeting happened in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my belly.
Kunoo, akkuma sagaleen nagaa keetii gurra koo seeneen ulfi gadameessa koo keessa jiru gammachuun utaaleera.
45 And blessed is she who believed, because there will be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from the Lord.
Wanni Gooftaan isheetti dubbate akka raawwatamu kan amante isheen eebbifamtuu dha!”
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
Maariyaamis akkana jette: “Lubbuun koo Gooftaadhaaf ulfina kenniti;
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
hafuurri koos fayyisaa koo Waaqatti ni gammada;
48 because he has looked upon the lowliness of his bondmaid. For behold, from henceforth all generations will regard me blessed,
inni salphina garbittii isaa argeeraatii. Kunoo ammaa jalqabee dhaloonni hundinuu eebbifamtuu naan jedha;
49 because the Mighty has done great things to me. And his name is holy.
Inni humna qabeessi sun waan guddaa naa godheeraatii; maqaan isaa qulqulluu dha.
50 And his mercy is for generations of generations to those who fear him.
Araarri isaas warra isa sodaataniif dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti itti fufa.
51 He did a mighty work by his arm. He scattered the proud in the mentality of their heart.
Inni irree isaatiin hojiiwwan gurguddaa hojjeteera; of tuultotas yaada garaa isaaniitiin bittinneesseera.
52 He brought down potentates from thrones, and raised up lowly men.
Bulchitoota teessoo isaanii irraa buuseera; gad of qabeeyyii garuu ol kaaseera.
53 He filled those who are hungry with good things, and those who are rich he sent away empty.
Warra beelaʼan waan gaariidhaan quufseera; sooreyyii garuu harka duwwaa deebiseera.
54 He helped his boy Israel to be reminded of mercy,
Inni araara qabeessa taʼuu isaa yaadachaa garbicha isaa Israaʼelin gargaareera;
kunis akkuma inni abbootii keenyaaf, Abrahaamii fi sanyii isaatiif bara baraan waadaa galetti.” (aiōn g165)
56 And Mary dwelt with her about three months, and returned to her house.
Maariyaamis gara jiʼa sadii Elsaabeexi bira turtee gara mana ofii isheetti deebite.
57 Now the time for Elizabeth was fulfilled for her to give birth, and she brought forth a son.
Elsaabeexi yeroon daʼumsa ishee geenyaan ilma deesse.
58 And her neighbors and her kinfolk heard that the Lord magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
Olloonni isheetii fi firoonni ishee akka Gooftaan araara guddaa isheef godhe dhagaʼanii ishee wajjin gammadan.
59 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling it by the name of his father Zacharias.
Isaanis guyyaa saddeettaffaatti daaʼima sana dhagna qabuu dhufan; Zakkaariyaas jedhaniis maqaa abbaa isaatiin isa moggaasuu fedhan.
60 And his mother having answered, said, No, but he will be called John.
Haati isaa garuu, “Lakkii! Inni Yohannis jedhamee waamamuu qaba” jette.
61 And they said to her, There is no man among thy relatives who is called by this name.
Isaanis, “Firoota kee keessa namni maqaa akkanaa qabu tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedhaniin.
62 And they made signs to his father, whatever he wanted to call him.
Namoonni sunis akka Zakkaariyaas eenyu jedhee daaʼima sana waamuu barbaadu beekuuf jedhanii mallattoon isa gaafatan.
63 And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
Innis gabatee irratti barreessu kadhatee, “Maqaan isaa Yohannis” jedhee barreesse; hundi isaaniis ni dinqifatan.
64 And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue, and he spoke, praising God.
Yommusuma afaan isaa banamee arrabni isaa hiikame; innis Waaqa galateeffachuudhaan dubbachuu jalqabe.
65 And fear developed in all who dwell around them. And all these sayings were talked about in the entire hill country of Judea.
Olloonni isaanii hundinuu sodaadhaan guutaman; wanni kunis baddaa biyya Yihuudaa hunda keessatti odeeffame.
66 And all who heard stored up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
Warri kana dhagaʼan hundinuus, “Yoos daaʼimni kun nama akkamii taʼinna laata?” jedhanii garaa isaaniitti dinqifatan. Harki Gooftaa isa wajjin tureetii.
67 And his father Zacharias was filled of the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Zakkaariyaas abbaan Yohannis Hafuura Qulqulluudhaan guutamee akkana jedhees raajii dubbate:
68 Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, because he came to help, and made ransom for his people.
“Sababii dhufee saba isaa fureef Gooftaan, Waaqni Israaʼel haa eebbifamu.
69 And he raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his boy David,
Inni mana garbicha isaa mana Daawit keessatti gaanfa fayyinaa nuuf kaaseera;
akkuma afaan raajota isaa qulqulloota duriitiin dubbatetti (aiōn g165)
71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us,
diinota keenya jalaa, harka warra nu jibban hundumaa keessaas nu baasuuf jedhee
72 to do mercy with our fathers, and his holy covenant to be remembered,
araara abbootii keenyaaf waadaa gale sana raawwachuudhaaf, kakuu isaa qulqulluu,
73 the oath that he swore to Abraham our father, to give to us,
inni abbaa keenya Abrahaamiif kakate yaadachuudhaaf,
74 without fear from the hand of our enemies, having been saved to serve him
harka diinota keenyaa keessaa nu baasuudhaaf, akka nu sodaa malee isa tajaajillu nu dandeessisuudhaaf,
75 in piety and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
akka nu bara jireenya keenyaa guutuu qulqullinaa fi qajeelinaan, fuula isaa duratti tajaajilluuf waan kana godhe.
76 And thou, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. For thou will go ahead, before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways,
“Yaa mucaa ko, ati raajii Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ni jedhamta; ati karaa isaa qopheessuuf fuula Gooftaa dura ni deemtaatii;
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins,
kunis akka ati dhiifama cubbuu argachuu isaaniitiin beekumsa fayyinaa saba isaatiif kennituuf;
78 because of the bowels of mercy of our God, by which the dayspring from on high came to help us,
sababii araara Waaqa keenyaa kan gara laafinaan guutame kan bariin fayyinaa samii irraa ittiin nuu bariʼuu,
79 to give light to those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into a way of peace.
warra dukkana keessa, gaaddidduu duʼaa jala jiraniif akka ifa kennuuf; miilla keenyas karaa nagaa irra deemsisuuf.”
80 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit. And he was in the desolate regions until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
Mucichis guddatee hafuuraan jabaachaa deeme; hamma guyyaa saba Israaʼelitti mulʼateettis gammoojjii keessa jiraate.
