Meriam Mir Gospels
1Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.
1Abele kerker ge Kaisara Augusto mer tigri, kega, Detaruem gesepem uridili.
2This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
2Abele kerker ditimedare abele jauali Kurenio sirdamu Suria ge.
3And everyone went to his own town to register.
3Ui ge uridili bakeauare ga detarare, taba gedlam.
4So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David.
4Ege Iosefa ge tabakeamulu Galilaia, Nazareta uteblam, Iudaiaim Dauida ra uteb, nei atker Bethelema, abelelam Dauida ra boai abara kus;
5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.
5Detalei okakis Maria taba kosker ei, E dikiapor abi kem ko eskemer.
6While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.
6Ui ge emrilei, abele kerker ge abi esmelu.
7And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
7Ege abara kimiar uerem esmelu; E sursur derap, egaredlu kau meta ge irdilu, abelelam uiaba meta mitkar nolea abkoreb emeri okakis.
8And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
8Abele ged ge daralei sumez ge mamoe asesered, ui ki ge daralei mamoe asesered.
9Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
9Dasmer, Iehoua ra angela ege ekue ireder, au zoromzorom deraueirer Iehoua ra zorom: uiaba geum barkei.
10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:
10Ege angela de uiabi daratagerare, Uaba nole geum kak; abelelam dasmerare, kaka tais peka uabim debe mer, obaker gaire le uridili au sererserer ober:
11Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
11Abelelam ge abele gerger ge eosmelu, Dauida uteb ge, Iesu Keriso, uaba Azigmoareta.
12And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
12Abele atamelam; Uaba erdar sursur uerem eid kau ra meta ge.
13And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:
13Ege dumdumge angela de okakis gaire urker ge kotor ge, epe uiaba desperare Iehoua, kega,
14“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
14Ua ge desperare Ade ra kotor lu, uerkab ge gesepem, au omare le uridili.
15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
15Ege angela giz bakeauare kotorem, ui ge mamoe giz naseseredlare a mer nakesmurare, kega, Debele mi nabakeauare Bethelemaem, ko dasmerare abele lu Iehoua de meribi uadetametare.
16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.
16Ui ge dudum bakeauare, ege Maria uiaba nardardare, a Iosefa, a sursur uerem kau meta ge iperedare.
17After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.
17Ege uiaba erdali, epe uiaba etomeret abele mer uiaba emetu asoli abele ueremlam.
18And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
18Epe uiaba uridili emetu asoli abele mer; epe uiaba au damreda abele lu mamoe asesered le etomeret uiabim.
19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
19Ege Maria de erpei gaire mer uridili, abara nerkep dikiapor.
20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
20Ege mamoe asesered le takomed, uiaba despereda pako esoao Adim, abelelam gaire lu uridili uiaba emetu asoli, pako dasmer etomeret uiabim.
21When the eight days until His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He had been conceived.
21Ege abara kerker tabarki, eit gerger abele uerem peritom, epe uiaba abi nei atker Iesu , angela kekiam nei detker, abara apu nolea kem kak.
22And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
22Ege eseamulu uiaba gerger ogdirup abi, mokakalam Mose ra gelar giz, epe uiaba tais abim Ierusalemaem, irdilei Iehoua ra opem,
23(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),
23(Mokakalam detarer Iehoua ra gelar giz, kega, Ese kimiar uerem narbet uridili zogo Iehouaim,)
24and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
24Ese ikuar abele baokeilu, mokakalam etomeret Iehoua ra gelar giz, kega, Neis luk, ua nako neis kebi dibadib.
25Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
25Ege dasmer, nerute le emeri Ierusalema ge, nei Simeona; abara tonar barkak E au geum Adim, epe abim naokaili upinati Isaraela; ege Lamar Zogo abi tumge.
26The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
26Ege abi natomelu Lamar Zogo, nolea eumida, kekiam erdali Iehoua ra Keriso.
27Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,
27Ege E bakeamulu zogo meta Lamar Zogolam; abele uerem Iesu abara aba a apu uiaba abi tegaret, uiaba ikeli abkoreb mokakalam gelar giz,
28Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
28Epe abi tegaret abele uerem abara tag, ege esoao Adim, kega,
29“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
29Iehoua ae, debele ma ikuar mara memeg le uerkab bakeamulu, mokakalam mara mer;
30For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
30Abelelam kara pone emetu dasmer abele mara azigmoaret,
31which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
31Ege ma derser opem gaire ged uridili;
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
32Abele datki erperida gaire zuber ged, pako zoromzorom mara ged Isaraela.
33The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
33Ege Iosefa pako abara apu uiaba damered gaire lu etomeret abim.
34Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,
34Ege Simeona E uerkab uiabim, ege abi detager Maria abara apu, kega Dasmer, abele uerem iridi uader ekesmeri a ko ekuei gaire le lakub Isaraela; abele atamelam uiaba abi dedkoli;
35so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
35Ege ekos dikedilu mara nerkep teibur aosos tulik; ueakai paret kak dikiapor nerkep gaire le.
36There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,
36Nerute perofeta kosker dauere, abara nei Ana, Fanuelu ra neur, Asera ra nosik; ege emetu aule, E ge taba kimiar okakis daralei abele kerker ge E neur dauer, ege sefen abara urut tabarki.
37and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
37Abele kosker zogo meta ge emeri, nako eiti foa abara urut, nole akaeret kak abele zogo metalam, E Ade ra memeg le, pako leuer baili, a esorerapare gerger ge a ki ge.
38Coming forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
38Abele kerker ge, E bakeamulu esoao Adim, E abi detagerare uiabim gaire le giz naokaili Ierusalema ra azigmoaret.
39When Jesus’ parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
39Ege ui ge eseamulei gaire lu ikeli abkoreb Iehoua ra gelar giz, epe ui ge akomelei Galilaiaem, uiaba uteb Nazareta.
40And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
40Ege abele uerem ge batai, abara nerkep au saserim, no au pardar dauer: Ada ra omare abi tum ge.
41Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
41Ege abara aba a apu ui bakeamulei Ierusalemaem, nerute urut a nerute urut netpur paseka ge.
42And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.
42Ege abara urut tuelf tabarki, epe uiaba bakeauare Ierusalemaem, mokakalam tonar uetpur.
43When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed.
43Ege abara gerger desmulu, epe uiaba akomeda, abele uerem Iesu emeri Ierusalema ge; ege Iosefa pako abara apu uiaba nolea umer kak.
44Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.
44Ui ge dikiapore abele uerem uiabi okakis, ege uiaba ki gab ge asameilu; ui ge abi ge deraimerare taba boai giz pako uader umele abim.
45When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.
45Ui ge nole abi ardar kak, a ui gako akomelei Ierusalemaem, abi deraimerei.
46Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
46Ege thri gerger barkare, ui ge abi erdali zogo meta ge, ege emeri muige ereuerem ge, E lagelage asoli, a gako uiabi nautumerare ereuerem tonarem.
47And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.
47Ege uiaba asolare abim au pardar mer detaut, uiaba au damerare.
48When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”
48Ege ui ge au kase damerei emetu abi erdarei; ege abi apuet detaut, kega, Kara uerem ma nalu pem a keribim? Dasmer, kaka pako mara aba ki au asi ki darasardei mari naraimerei.
49“Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house ?”
49Epe tabara mer uiabi daratager, kega, Nalugem naba kari naraimereie? Uaba nole umer kak, abkoreb kaka emeri kara Aba ra meta ge idali?
50But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.
50A ui ge nole abi mer asor kak nakueiredar.
51Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
51Ege ui ge okakis bakeauare Nazareta tabarki; a uiaba memeg: ege apu ge gaire lu giz nerkep derpeilare.
52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
52Ege pardar ge omeilu a gako Iesu ra gem, ege Ade au omare abi gako le uridili.
