Luka 2
1 Nene nanya nayiri a ne, kaisar Agustus yita tigo a nutuno uduka nworuu i nyertu tisa na nit vat na idi nanyan mmyin nRoma.
In those days Augustus Caesar issued an edict for a census of the whole inhabited world.
2 Ulelere kibatiza nfari na iwasu kubi na kiriniyas wandi ugumuna nSiriya.
This was the first census, When Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Ko gha nya udu kagbir mye idi nyertu ghe bara kibatiza.
And every one went to be registered, each to the town to which he belonged.
4 Yusufu fita anuzu kipin Nazarat nanya Ngalili, acina udu Uyahudiya, kipin Baitalami, kanga na iyuru kinin kipin Dauda, bara ame wandi kuwunu unuzu likuran Dauda.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city if Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David.
5 A doo kikane idi nyertin ghe nin Maryamu, ule na awa di kubura nilugma mye, iyita ncaa ngono.
He went to be registered along with Mary, who was espoused to him, and was pregnant.
6 Nene uduru kubi na iwadi kikane, kubi nmaru ngono da ghe.
But while they were there the days were fulfilled for her delivery.
7 Amara gono, kin pari mye, a tursu ghe nin kupori, a cio ghe kiti nlii nimonli nakam. Bara na kutyi wa duku ba, kilari namara.
And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Kusari kone, anan liwalli ninab wa duku, alenge na iwa sosin nfong iwadi ncaa ligozi nakam nin kiitik.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
9 Kpak unan kadura Ncikilari nuzu kiti mine, ngongong Kutelle din nbaltu kiyitik mine, fiu da noni.
When suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they feared with a great fear. The angel said to them.
10 Unan kadura Kutelle woro nani, “Na iwa lanza fiu ba bara nba bellin munu uliru ucine, ulenge na uba dak nin lanzu nmang kang kiti nanit vat.
"Have no fear, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.
11 Kitimone imarra munu unan tucu, nanya kagbir Dauda! Amere Kristi Cikilari!
"For unto you born this day in there is born in David’s town a Saviour, who is the Anointed Lord.
12 Alamere ale na iba ni munu, iba se gone ikiroghe nin kuzeni anong kiti nlii nimonli nin kuzeni anong kiti nlii nimonli nakam.”
"And this is a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes lying in a manger."
13 Kpak nin unan kadura Kutelle a soja kiteni kani gbardang wan duku nsu liru kutelle idin su,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly army praising God and saying,
14 “Ngongon udu kiti Kutelle kitene kani, lisosin lishau ba yitu inyi nanya nanit nin nalenge na ayi mye npoon ninghinu.”
"Glory to God in the highest, And in earth peace among men who please him"
15 Uso na unan kadura Kutelle nnnya kiti mine, anan liwali nine woro natimine, “Cannari nene udu Baitalami tiyene imon ile na idi ilenge na Cikilari nta tiyino inin.”
Now when the angels had left them, and gone away to heaven, the shepherds said to one to another, "Let us go now even to Bethlehem, and see this saying which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."
16 Ido kikane dedei ise Maryamu ku nin Yusufu, iyene gono nonn kiti nlii nimonli nakame.
so they made haste, and came and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
17 Na iyene nani, ita anit yinno imon ile na ibelle nani kitene ngono kane.
When they had seen, they made known about the words which had been spoken to them concerning the child.
18 Vat nalenge na iwa lanza ikifo tinnu, bara ile imon na ubelle nani kiti na nan liwali ninah.
And all who heard it were astonished at the things which were told to them by the shepherds.
19 Ame Maryamu tinna nkilizu kitene vat nile imon na lanza acio inin nanya kibinai mye.
But Mary treasured up all those words, Often pondering on on them in her heart.
20 Anan liwali nineh kpilla, idin nzazinu nin liru Kutelle, bara imon ile vat na ilanza, iyene idi nafo na ina belin nani.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying God and praising him for all those things that they had seen and heard, even as it was told to them.
21 Na ayiri kuliri nkulo, kubi nkalu kucuru ngone ndah, inaghe lisa Yesu, Lisa na unan kadura Kutelle wa mallu unighe, kamin nuzu nanya libure.
When eight days had passed, and the time had come to circumcise him, he was called Jesus, the name given him by the angel before his conception in the womb.
22 Na ayiri linanu mye nmala, bara uduka Musa, Yusufu nin Maryamu damun kagone nanya kutyi nliran nurushelima, inakpa ghe kitin Cikilari.
And when the days for purification according to the law of Moses had passed, they took him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
23 Nafo na inyerte di nanya duka Cikilari, “Ko kame gono nfari kilime iba yicu ghe ulau Ncikilari.”
as it is written in the law of Moses, Every firstborn male shall be called holy to the Lord.
24 Tutun iwa dak ida ni uhudaya bara uleli ubelle nanya nduka Ncikilari, “awullung abba sa atanta bara.”
And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord A pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
25 Au umong unit nanya Urushelima lisa mye Simeon, unit une ullau wari unan ni litii, awadi ncaa nle na aaba da bunu Isiraila ku, Uruhu ulau wa di litimye.
Now there was in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon. He was righteous and devout, and was waiting for the consolation of Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 Awa se uleli uyinno kiti nruhu ulau, na uwa woroghe, na ame ba kuu ba, sei ayene Cikilari Kristi.
Now it has been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Nlon liri ada kutyi nlira, Uruhu ulau wari wa dofin ninghe. Kubi na Ucife nin nne wa dinin gone Yesu, ida sughe ile imon na uduka anbelle isu.
And he came into the Temple, led by the Spirit. and when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
28 Ame Simeon ne sereghe nin nacara mye, asu liru Kutelle anin woro,
he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
29 “Nene na kucin fe nya sheu, Cikilari, bara uliru ligbulang fe.
"Now lettest thou thy slave depart, O Master; according to thy word in peace,
30 Bara iyizi nighe nyene utucu fe,
"Because my eyes had seen the salvation,
31 Ulenge na uwa keele nanya nyenju nanit vat.
"Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 Ame ba so nkanan bara upunu kidegen kiti nalumai, aba so ngongon nanit mye Isiraila.”
"A light for the unveiling of the Gentiles And the glory of thy people Israel."
33 Ucif nin nnah nngone kiffo tinu kitene nile imon na idin kitin gone.
And while his father and mother were marveling at the words that were spoken concerning him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother.
34 Simeon ta nani nmari, abelle Maryamu ku unene, “Lanzai gegeme gono kane ba so libau ndiu nin nfitu nanit gbardang nan Isiraila nin nalama alenge na idin bellu kitene mye.
"Behold this child is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 Tutun Kusangali ba wariu kidowo fe, bara ukpilizu nibinai gbardang bba nuzu fong.”
Yea, and a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, that the thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."
36 Umong uwani unan nliru nin nnu Kutelle, lisa mye Anna ame wang wa duku, ame ushonon Fanuwel unuzu likuran Ashar, awa dinin mye nin nlesi akus kuzor cas,
There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in age, having lived with her husband seven years, after her girlhood,
37 a so nanya likulok uduru akus akut kulir nin na nas. Na a suna u picu kutiin nlira ba kitik nin liring, a suzu ukotu nayi nin lira.
and then being a widow even for fourscore and four years. She departed not from the temple, but worshiped with the fasting and prayer, night and day.
38 Nkoni kube ada kiti mine a cizina ugodiya kiti Kutelle, asu uliru kitene ngone kiti nko gha, alenge na idin ncaa ntucu Urushelima.
She came up at that very hour, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 Kubi na imala vat nile imon na iwa dinin su nsuwe bara uduka Ncikilari, ikpilla udu Ugalili, udu kagbir mine Unanzaret.
As soon as all that the law required had been done, they returned to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.
40 Kinin gone kunno ata likara, njinjin kpina ku nsheu Kutelle so liti mye.
And the child grew and became strong, becoming full of wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Ucife nin nnere asa ido Urushelima ko lome likus bara ubukin (keterewa).
Now his parents were accustomed to go up to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
42 Kubi na awa duru akus likure inung tutun nya kubi nalada a kubi nbuki.
And when he was twelve years old they went up, as was customary, at the time of the feast
43 Na iso, ayiri nbuke vat malla, izina ukpilizinu kilari, ame gone Yesu lawa kidung, nanyan Urushelima, na inung Ucife nin nnene wa yiru ba.
After spending the full number of days they started home, but the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know this,
44 Inung dinsu nworu adi nanya ligo nanit, na iwa di nanghinu, isu ucin liri lirum, inin cizina upiziru ghe nanya likura nan nadondon.
but supposed that he was in the company, and went a days journey. Then they hunted for him among his kinsfolk and acquaintance;
45 Na iseghe ba, inung kpilla udu Urushelimma, itunna npiziru ghe kikane.
and when they did not find him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for him.
46 Iduru ayiri ataat iseghe nanya kutyi nliran, asosin kiyitik na nan nyiru, inlanzu nani nin ntinu nani.
On the third day they found him sitting in the Temple, among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking questions.
47 Vat nalenge na iwa lanza ghe iwa kiffo tinu, bbara uyiru nin nkawu mye.
All that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 Kubi na iyene ghe ikiffo tinu unna mye woro, “Gono, iyaghari nta usu nari nani? Lanza Cife nin mye tidin piziru fi kkang.”
When they saw him they were astonished, and his mother said to him "Child, why have you treated us so? Behold your father and I have been looking for you in anguish."
49 A woro nani, “Iyaghari nta idin pizirie? na anug yiru ba uso yi gbasari nso kilari Kutelle?”
He answered, "Why is it that you have been looking for me, did you not realize that I had to be in my Father’s house?"
50 Bara na inung nyinno ile imon na tigbulang mye din bellu ba.
But they did not understand the words that he spoke to them.
51 A kpilla kilare nanghinu udu Unazareet adorto uliru mine, unna mye cio vat nimon ine nanya kibinai mye.
Then he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was always obedient to them. But his mother kept treasuring up all these incidents in her hearts.
52 Yesu leo ubun nkunju nin njinjin a njangaram, ase uyinnu Kutelle nan nanit.
And Jesus was ever advancing in wisdom and in status and in favor with God and man.
