Caibidil 2

2 (Ag so an céudmheas do rinneadh an tan do bhi Sirénius na úachdarán ar Shíria.)

3 Agus do chúadar eile dhá meas, gach áon fá leith dhá chathruigh féin,

4 Agus do chúaidh Ióseph mar an gcéudna súas ón Ghalilé, as an gcathraigh Nasarét, go tír Iúdaighe, go cathruigh Dhaibhi, dá ngoirthear Bétleem; do bhrígh go raibh sé do thigh agus do shliochd Dháibhí:

5 Ionnus go measfuigh é maille ré Muire do bhi ar na ceangal ris mar mhnáoi, ar mbeith dhi torrach.

6 ¶ Agns tárla, ar mbeith dhóibh ann sin, go dtangadar laéthe a hionbhuidhsean.

7 Agus rug sí mac a céudduine cloinne, agus do chuir sí giobuil cheangail na thimcheall, agus do chuir sí na luighe a mainséur é; do bhrígh nach raibh ait aca sa tigh ósda.

8 ¶ Agus do bhádar áodhairidhe sa dúithche sin na gcomhnuidhe a muigh, agns ag déanamh faire oidhche ar a dtréd.

9 Agus, féuch, do sheas aingeal an Tighearna láimh léo, agus do shoillsigh ghlóir an Tighearna na dtimcheall: agus do ghabh eagla mhór íad.

10 Agus a dubhairt an taingeal riú, Na bíodh eagla oruibh: óir, feuch, a táim ag soisgéulughadh dhíbh gáirdeachus mór, noch bhías do gach uile phobal.

11 Oír rugadh an Slánuightheoir dháoibh a niu, (éadhon Críosd an Tighearna,) a gcathruigh Dháibhí.

12 Agus ag so comhartha dhíbh; Do ghéubhtháoi an leanabh ceanguilte a ngiobluibh, na luighe a mainnséur.

13 Agus do bhí go hobann cuideachda mhór do shlúagh neamhdha a bhfochair an aingil ag moladh Dé, agus ag rádh,

14 Glóir do Dhía ann sna hárduibh, agus síodhcháin ar an dtalamh, deaghthoil do na dáoinibh.

15 ¶ Agus tárla, mar do imthigheadar na haingil úatha ar neamh, go ndubhradar na háodhairidhe ré chéile, Imthigheam anois don Bhetléem, agus féucham an ní so do rinneadh, noch do fhoillsigh an Tighearna dhúinn.

16 Agus tangadar go deithneasach, agus fuaradar Muire agus Ióseph, agus an náoidhe na luighe a mainnséur.

17 Agus an tráth do chonncadar sin, do aithriseadar an ní a dubhradh riú a dtimcheall an leinibhsin.

18 Agus na huile dháoine da gcúalidh so do ghabh iongantus íad fá na neitheibh a dubhradar na háodhairidhe ríu.

19 Achd do thaisgidh Muire na bríath­rasa uile, dá mbreathnughadh ann a croidhe.

20 Agus do fhilleadar na háodhairidhe, ag tabhairt glóire agus ag moladh Dé tré gach ní da gcúaladar agus da bhfacadar, mar a dubhradh riú.

21 ¶ Agus an tan do coimhlíonadh ochd lá chum an leinibh do thimcheallgherradh, tugadh' IOSA mar ainm air, éadhon an tainm do ghoir an taingeal de suil do gheineadh a mbroinn é.

22 ¶ Agus an tan do coimhlíonadh laéthe glanta Mhuire do réir reachda Mháoisi, rugadar léo go Hiarusaléim é, da thaisbéanadh don Tighearna;

23 (Mar a tá scriobhtha a reachd an Tighearna, Gach céudghein mhic thuismeas brú bíaidh sé náomhtha don Tighearna;)

24 Agus do thabhairt ofrála, do réir mar a dearthar a reachd an Tighearna, Cúpla turtair, nó dha gheirrceach coluim.

25 ¶ Agus, féuch, do bhí duine a Níarusaléim, dár bhainm Símeon; agus do bhí an fearso comhthrom diadha, agus a shúil ré comhfhurtachd Israel: agus do bhí an Spíorad Náomh ann,

 26 Agus do fhoillsigh an Spiorad Náomh dhó, nach bhfaicfeadh sé bás, nó go bhfhaicfeadh sé Criosd an Tighearna,

27 Agus táinic sé maille ré tréoir na Spioraide don teampoll: agus an tan thug a athair agus a mháthair an leanabh Iósa, do chum go ndéanaídis ar a shon do réir gnáthuighthe an dlighe,

28 Ann sin do ghabh seision chuige ann a uchd é, agus do mhol sé Día, agus a dubhairt sé,

29 A Thighearna, a nois leigeas tú dod shearbhfhoghantuidhe imtheachd a síodhchain, do réir tfhocail féin:

30 Oir do chonncadar mo shúile do shlánughadhsá,

31 Noch do ullmhuigh tú a bhfíadhnuisi na nuile phobal.

32 Solus do dhéunadh soillsi do na Cineadhachuibh, agus glóir do phobail féin Israél.

33 Agus do ghabh iongantus Ióseph agus a mháthairsion fá na neithibh a dubhhradh na thimcheall.

34 Agus do bheannuigh Símeon íad, agus a dubhairt sé ré Muire a mhathairsion, Féuch, a tá sé so ar na órdughadh do chum tuitme agus eiséirghe mhóráin a Nisraél; agus na chomhartha agá gcuirfithear na aghaidh;

35 (Agus fós, rachaidh cloidh éamh tré thanamsa mar an gcéudna,) do chum go nochdfuidhe smúaintighthe as mórán do chroidhibh.

36 ¶ Agus fós do bhí Anna, banfháidh, inghean Phánuel, do threibh Aser: do bhi aois mhór aiceso, tár éis seachd mblíadhna do chaitheamh dhi ag fear a ndiáigh a maighdeannis;

37 Agus ar mbeith na baintreabhuigh a dtinicheall cheithre mblíadhan agus cheithre tichid dhi, níor fhág sí an teampoll, achd ag déunamh seirbhísí do Dhía do ló agus doidhche le trosgadh agus lé húrnuighthe.

38 Agus táinic so do láthair ar an úair gcéudna agus dadmhuigh sí na thimcheall ré gach áon agá raibh súil ré fúasgladh an Iarusaléim.

39 ¶ Agus mar do chríochnuigheadar gach uile ni do réir reachda an Thighearna, do fhilleadar don Ghalilé, da gcathruigh féin Násarét.

40 Agus do fhás an macaomh, agus do neartuigheadh é a spioraid, agus do bhí sé lán deagna: agus do bhí grása Dé maille ris.

41 ¶ Agus do ghnáthuigheagh a athair agus a mháthair dul gach a blíadhna go Híarusaléim a sollamuin na cásg.

42 Agus ar mbeith dhá bhliadhan déug dho, do chuadar suas go Híarusaléim, do réir ghnáthuighthe na sollamna.

43 Agus are geríochnughadh na, láetheadh sin, an tan do fhilleadarsan, dfan anleanabh Iósa a Níarusaléim; gan fhios do Ióseph ná dhá mháthair.

 44 Agus, an tan do shaóileadar go raibh sé na gcuideachda, do shiobhladar asdar laoi; agus diarradar é a measg a ndaoine gaoil agus aitheanta.

45 Agus an tan nach bhfúaradar é, do fhilleadar arís go Híarusaléim, dhá iarruigh.

46 Agus tárla, trí lá dá éis sin, go bhfúaradar é ann sa teampoll, na shuidhe a measg na ndoctúireadh, ag éisdeachd ríú, agus ag cur cheasd ortha.

47 Agus do ghabh iongnadh gach uile dhuine dá gcúalaidh é fá na thuigsin agus fá na fhreagarthaibh.

48 Agus ar na fhaicsin dóibh, do ghabh úathbhás iad: agus a dubhairt a mháthair ris, A mhic, créd fá ndearna tú mar so rinn? Féuch, do bhí misi agus dathair lán do dhobhron dod lordaireachd.

49 Agus a dubhairt seision ríu, Créd fá rabhabhair dom lorgaireachdsa? An né nach raibh a fhios agaibh gur bhéigin damhsa bheith ag déanamh ghnódhaighthe Mathar?

50 Achd níor thuigeadarsan na briathra do labhair se ríu.

51 ¶ Agus do chuáidh sé léo síos, agus táinic sé go Násaret, agus do bhí sé umhal dóibh: agus do thaisgidh a mháthair na briathra so uile an a croidhe.

52 Agus dó bhí Iósa ag fás an eagna, agus a naóis, agus a ngean ag Día agus ag daóinibh.

Chapter 2

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

24 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 ¶ 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 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 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 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

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

30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

51 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.
