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.
Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.
2 Ulelere kibatiza nfari na iwasu kubi na kiriniyas wandi ugumuna nSiriya.
This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Ko gha nya udu kagbir mye idi nyertu ghe bara kibatiza.
And all went to enroll themselves, every one to his own city.
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 of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called 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.
to enroll himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child.
6 Nene uduru kubi na iwadi kikane, kubi nmaru ngono da ghe.
And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.
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 brought forth 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 shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 Kpak unan kadura Ncikilari nuzu kiti mine, ngongong Kutelle din nbaltu kiyitik mine, fiu da noni.
And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
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.
And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:
11 Kitimone imarra munu unan tucu, nanya kagbir Dauda! Amere Kristi Cikilari!
for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the 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] the sign unto you; Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and 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 host 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 on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.
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.”
And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 Ido kikane dedei ise Maryamu ku nin Yusufu, iyene gono nonn kiti nlii nimonli nakame.
And they came with haste, and found both 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.
And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18 Vat nalenge na iwa lanza ikifo tinnu, bara ile imon na ubelle nani kiti na nan liwali ninah.
And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.
19 Ame Maryamu tinna nkilizu kitene vat nile imon na lanza acio inin nanya kibinai mye.
But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering 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 and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto 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.
And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived 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 of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought 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 the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb 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 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 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.
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and 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.
And it had been revealed unto 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 in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law,
28 Ame Simeon ne sereghe nin nacara mye, asu liru Kutelle anin woro,
then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 “Nene na kucin fe nya sheu, Cikilari, bara uliru ligbulang fe.
Now lettest thou thy servant depart, O Lord, According to thy word, in peace;
30 Bara iyizi nighe nyene utucu fe,
For mine eyes have seen thy 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 revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Ucif nin nnah nngone kiffo tinu kitene nile imon na idin kitin gone.
And his father and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him;
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.
and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, 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 thine own soul; that 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,
And 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 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 she had been a widow even for fourscore and four years), which departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications 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.
And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that 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.
And 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 Kinin gone kunno ata likara, njinjin kpina ku nsheu Kutelle so liti mye.
And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Ucife nin nnere asa ido Urushelima ko lome likus bara ubukin (keterewa).
And his parents went every year to Jerusalem 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 after the custom 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.
and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not;
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 supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance:
45 Na iseghe ba, inung kpilla udu Urushelimma, itunna npiziru ghe kikane.
and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.
46 Iduru ayiri ataat iseghe nanya kutyi nliran, asosin kiyitik na nan nyiru, inlanzu nani nin ntinu nani.
And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
47 Vat nalenge na iwa lanza ghe iwa kiffo tinu, bbara uyiru nin nkawu mye.
and 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.”
And when they saw him, they were astonished: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.
49 A woro nani, “Iyaghari nta idin pizirie? na anug yiru ba uso yi gbasari nso kilari Kutelle?”
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be in my Father’s house?
50 Bara na inung nyinno ile imon na tigbulang mye din bellu ba.
And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 A kpilla kilare nanghinu udu Unazareet adorto uliru mine, unna mye cio vat nimon ine nanya kibinai mye.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all [these] sayings in her heart.
52 Yesu leo ubun nkunju nin njinjin a njangaram, ase uyinnu Kutelle nan nanit.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
