< Luka 2 >

1 Mʼmasiku amenewo Kaisara Augusto anapereka lamulo kuti kalembera achitike mʼdziko lonse la Aroma.
Saa ɛberɛ no mu no, Kaesare Augusto a na ɔyɛ Roma ɔhempɔn hyɛɛ mmara bi sɛ wɔnkan ne ɔman no mu nnipa nyinaa.
2 (Uyu ndi kalembera woyamba amene anachitika pamene Kureniyo anali bwanamkubwa wa Siriya).
Saa nnipakan yi ne deɛ ɛdi ɛkan a wɔkanee wɔ Kirenio a ɔyɛ amrado wɔ Siria no berɛ so.
3 Ndipo aliyense anapita ku mzinda wa kwawo kukalembetsa.
Obiara kɔɔ ne kurom na wɔtwerɛɛ ne din.
4 Choncho Yosefe anachoka ku Nazareti ku Galileya kupita ku Yudeya, ku Betelehemu ku mudzi wa Davide, chifukwa anali wa banja ndi fuko la Davide.
Esiane sɛ na Yosef yɛ Ɔhene Dawid busuani no enti, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfiri Galilea kuro a wɔfrɛ no Nasaret mu kɔ Betlehem a ɛwɔ Yudea.
5 Iye anapita kumeneko kukalembetsa pamodzi ndi Mariya, amene anapalana naye ubwenzi kuti akwatirane ndipo anali woyembekezera.
Ɔne ne yere Maria a saa ɛberɛ no na ɔnyem no na wɔkɔeɛ.
6 Ali kumeneko, nthawi inakwana yakuti mwana abadwe,
Wɔwɔ Betlehem no, awoɔ kaa Maria,
7 ndipo anabereka mwana wake woyamba, wamwamuna. Iye anamukulunga mʼnsalu ndi kumuyika modyera ngʼombe, chifukwa kunalibe malo mʼnyumba ya alendo.
na ɔwoo ɔbarima. Wɔde kuntu kyekyeree abɔfra no ho de no too mmoa adididaka mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔannya baabi ansoɛ wɔ ahɔhobea hɔ.
8 Ndipo kunali abusa amene amakhala ku dera lomwelo, kuyangʼanira ziweto zawo usiku.
Anadwo no ara, na nnwanhwɛfoɔ bi nso wɔ ɛserɛ no so baabi rewɛn wɔn nnwan.
9 Mngelo wa Ambuye anaonekera kwa iwo ndipo ulemerero wa Ambuye unawala mowazungulira. Iwo anachita mantha.
Mpofirim, ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ baa wɔn nkyɛn, na Onyankopɔn animuonyam hyerɛn twaa wɔn ho hyiaeɛ, na ɛmaa wɔn ho dwirii wɔn.
10 Koma mngeloyo anawawuza kuti, “Musachite mantha. Ine ndakubweretserani Uthenga Wabwino wachimwemwe chachikulu umene udzakhala wa anthu onse.
Ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnsuro, mede anigyesɛm rebrɛ mo ne amansan nyinaa.
11 Lero mʼmudzi wa Davide wakubwadwirani Mpulumutsi; Iye ndi Khristu Ambuye.
Ɛnnɛ wɔawo Agyenkwa a ɔne Kristo Awurade no ama mo wɔ Dawid kurom.
12 Ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro kwa inu: mukapeza mwana wakhanda wokutidwa ndi nsalu atagona modyera ngʼombe.”
Yei ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a mobɛhunu. Mobɛhunu akɔkoaa a wɔde kuntu akyekyere ne ho a ɔda mmoa adididaka mu.”
13 Mwadzidzidzi gulu lalikulu la angelo linaonekera pamodzi ndi mngeloyo, kuyamika Mulungu ndi kumati,
Amonom hɔ ara, abɔfokuo bɛkaa ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔwɔ hɔ no ho na wɔtoo ayɛyie dwom sɛ,
14 “Ulemerero kwa Mulungu mmwambamwamba, ndi mtendere kwa anthu pa dziko lapansi amene Iye akondwera nawo.”
“Animuonyam nka Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn, na asomdwoeɛ mmra wɔn a wɔsɔ nʼani wɔ asase so no so.”
15 Angelowo atabwerera kumwamba, abusawo anati kwa wina ndi mnzake, “Tiyeni ku Betelehemu tikaone zinthu zomwe zachitika, zimene Ambuye atiwuza ife.”
Ɛberɛ a abɔfokuo yi sane kɔɔ ɔsoro no, nnwanhwɛfoɔ no keka kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Momma yɛnkɔ Betlehem hɔ na yɛnkɔhwɛ saa anwanwasɛm a asi wɔ hɔ a Awurade ada no adi akyerɛ yɛn yi.”
16 Ndipo iwo anafulumira nyamuka nakapeza Mariya ndi Yosefe ndi mwana wakhanda, amene anagona modyera ngʼombe.
Wɔde ahoɔherɛ kɔɔ Betlehem kɔhunuu Maria ne Yosef. Na wɔhunuu abɔfra no nso sɛ ɔda mmoa adididaka mu.
17 Pamene anamuona Iye, iwo anafotokoza zomwe anawuzidwa za mwanayo,
Nnwanhwɛfoɔ no hunuu abɔfra no no, wɔkaa ne ho asɛm a ɔsoro abɔfoɔ no bɛka kyerɛɛ wɔn no nyinaa kyerɛɛ nnipa a wɔahyia hɔ no.
18 ndipo onse amene anamva zimene abusawa ananena anadabwa.
Wɔn a wɔtee nnwanhwɛfoɔ yi asɛm no nyinaa ho dwirii wɔn.
19 Koma Mariya anasunga zonsezi mu mtima mwake ndi kumazilingalira.
Nanso Maria deɛ, ɔde saa nsɛm a ɔteeɛ no nyinaa siee ne tirim dwenee ho.
20 Abusa anabwerera, akulemekeza ndi kuyamika Mulungu chifukwa cha zonse anazimva ndi kuziona, zomwe zinali monga anawuzidwira ndi angelo aja.
Nnwanhwɛfoɔ no kɔhunuu deɛ abɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no, wɔde anigyeɛ sane wɔn akyi kɔɔ deɛ wɔn nnwan no wɔ hɔ. Wɔrekɔ no nyinaa, na wɔreyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ.
21 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu, tsiku loti amuchite mdulidwe anamutcha Yesu, dzina limene mngelo anamupatsa asanabadwe.
Abɔfra no dii nnawɔtwe no, wɔtoo ne din Yesu sɛdeɛ ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ no kyerɛeɛ ansa na wɔrenyinsɛn no no. Ɛda no ara na wɔtwaa no twetia.
22 Nthawi yoyeretsedwa kwawo itatha, monga mwa lamulo la Mose, Yosefe ndi Mariya anapita naye ku Yerusalemu kukamupereka kwa Ambuye.
Ɛberɛ duruu sɛ Yosef ne Maria kɔdwira wɔn ho sɛdeɛ Mose mmara kyerɛ no, wɔde abɔfra no kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔde no rekɔhyɛ Onyankopɔn nsa.
23 (Monga mmene zinalembedwera mu lamulo la Ambuye kuti, “Muzikapereka kwa Ambuye mwana aliyense wamwamuna woyamba kubadwa”),
Sɛdeɛ Mose mmara no kyerɛ no, “Sɛ ɔbaa wo nʼabakan na ɔyɛ ɔbarima a, wɔde no ma Awurade.”
24 ndi kupereka nsembe posunga zimene zinanenedwa mulamulo la Ambuye: “Njiwa ziwiri kapena mawunda ankhunda awiri.”
Wɔkɔɔ asɔredan no mu hɔ nso kɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ, sɛdeɛ mmara no kyerɛ no: wɔde nturukuku mmienu anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmienu na wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ no.
25 Ndipo taonani, mu Yerusalemu munali munthu wotchedwa Simeoni, amene anali wolungama ndi wodzipereka. Iye ankadikira chitonthozo cha Israeli, ndipo Mzimu Woyera anali pa iye.
Ɛda no na ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simeon a ɔte Yerusalem no nso wɔ asɔredan mu hɔ bi. Na Simeon yɛ onipa tenenee, ɔhotefoɔ a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma a na daa ɔhwɛ Agyenkwa no kwan.
26 Mzimu Woyera anamuwululira kuti sadzafa asanaone Khristu wa Ambuye.
Ɔno na na Honhom Kronkron ayi akyerɛ no sɛ ɔrenwu kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛhunu Agyenkwa a Awurade asra no no.
27 Motsogozedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, iye anapita ku bwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu. Makolo ake a Yesu atabwera naye kuti achite naye mwambo malingana ndi malamulo,
Enti ɛberɛ a Maria ne Yosef duruu asɔredan no mu sɛ wɔde abɔfra no rekɔma Awurade sɛdeɛ mmara no te no,
28 Simeoni anamunyamula mʼmanja mwake nayamika Mulungu, nati:
wɔkɔtoo Simeon nso wɔ hɔ, na Simeon gyee abɔfra no hyɛɛ Awurade animuonyam sɛ,
29 “Ambuye waulamuliro, monga munalonjeza, tsopano lolani kuti mtumiki wanu apite mu mtendere.
“Awurade, afei ma wʼakoa nwu asomdwoeɛ mu
30 Pakuti maso anga aona chipulumutso chanu,
ɛfiri sɛ, mʼani ahunu Agyenkwa
31 chimene Inu munakonza pamaso pa anthu onse,
a wohyɛɛ me ne ho bɔ no.
32 kuwala kowunikira anthu a mitundu ina ndi kwa ulemerero kwa anthu anu Aisraeli.”
Ɔno ne hann a ɛbɛhyerɛn ewiase nyinaa na wahyɛ wo ɔman Israel animuonyam!”
33 Abambo ndi amayi a Mwanayo anadabwa chifukwa cha zimene zinanenedwa za Iye.
Nsɛm a wɔka faa Yesu ho no yɛɛ nʼagya Yosef ne ne maame Maria nwanwa.
34 Kenaka Simeoni anawadalitsa ndipo anati kwa Mariya amayi ake: “Mwana uyu wakonzedwa kukhala kugwa ndi kudzuka kwa ambiri mu Israeli, ndi kukhala chizindikiro chimene adzayankhula motsutsana nacho,
Afei, Simeon hyiraa wɔn na ɔka kyerɛɛ ne maame Maria sɛ, “Saa abɔfra yi so na Israelfoɔ mu dodoɔ no ara nkwagyeɛ ne wɔn asehweɛ bɛgyina.
35 kotero kuti malingaliro a mitima ya ambiri adzawululidwa. Ndipo lupanga lidzabaya moyo wakonso.”
Na ɔbɛma dodoɔ no ara tirim ahintasɛm ada adi; na wo Maria deɛ, wobɛsi apinie wɔ wo mu.”
36 Panalinso mneneri wamkazi, dzina lake Ana, mwana wa Fanuelo, wa fuko la Aseri. Anali wokalamba kwambiri; anakhala ndi mwamuna wake zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri atakwatiwa,
Saa ɛberɛ no, na Fanuel babaa odiyifoɔ Ana a ɔfiri Aser abusua mu no nso wɔ hɔ bi. Na Ana yɛ obi a wanyini. Ɔwaree ne mmabaawaberɛ mu ne ne kunu tenaeɛ mfeɛ nson pɛ na ne kunu no wuiɛ.
37 ndipo kenaka anakhala wamasiye mpaka pamene anali ndi zaka 84. Iye sanachoke mʼNyumba ya Mulungu koma ankapembedza usiku ndi usana, kusala kudya ndi kupemphera.
Ne kunu no wuo akyi no, ɔyɛɛ kuna kɔsii sɛ ɔdii mfeɛ aduɔwɔtwe ɛnan, na ɛberɛ biara nso na ɔwɔ asɔredan mu de mmuadadie ne mpaeɛbɔ som Onyankopɔn.
38 Pa nthawiyo pamene ankapita kwa iwo, iye anayamika Mulungu ndi kuyankhula za Mwanayo kwa onse amene ankayembekezera chipulumutso cha Yerusalemu.
Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, ɔno nso bɛgyinaa hɔ bi yii Onyankopɔn ayɛ saa ara. Ɔkaa abɔfra no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔretwɛn ɔgye a ɔbɛgye Yerusalem no nyinaa.
39 Yosefe ndi Mariya atachita zonse zimene zinkafunikira ndi lamulo la Ambuye, anabwerera ku Galileya ku mudzi wa Nazareti.
Wɔwiee amanneɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade mmara kyerɛ no, wɔsane kɔɔ wɔn kurom Nasaret a ɛwɔ Galilea,
40 Ndipo Mwanayo anakula nakhala wamphamvu; Iye anadzazidwa ndi nzeru, ndipo chisomo cha Mulungu chinali pa Iye.
Abɔfra no nyinii, na nyansa hyɛɛ no ma, na na Onyankopɔn adom nso wɔ ne so.
41 Chaka chilichonse makolo ake ankapita ku Yerusalemu ku phwando la Paska.
Afe biara na Yesu awofoɔ kɔ Yerusalem kɔdi Twam Afahyɛ no.
42 Iye ali ndi zaka khumi ndi ziwiri, anapita ku phwando, monga mwa mwambo.
Sɛdeɛ na wɔn amanneɛ te no, Yesu dii mfeɛ dumienu no, nʼawofoɔ de no kɔɔ Yerusalem kɔdii Twam Afahyɛ no.
43 Phwando litatha, pamene makolo ake ankabwerera kwawo, mnyamata Yesu anatsalira ku Yerusalemu, koma iwo sanadziwe zimenezi.
Wɔwiee afahyɛ no di a wɔresane akɔ wɔn kurom no, Yesu kaa Yerusalem a nʼawofoɔ no nnim.
44 Poganiza kuti anali nawo mʼgulu lawo, anayenda tsiku limodzi. Kenaka anayamba kumufunafuna pakati pa abale awo ndi anzawo.
Wɔtwaa da koro ɛkwan a wɔn ani baa wɔn ho so sɛ Yesu nka wɔn ho no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ bisabisaa nʼase firii wɔn abusuafoɔ ne amannifoɔ nkyɛn.
45 Atalephera kumupeza, anabwerera ku Yerusalemu kukamufuna.
Na wɔanhunu no no, wɔsane baa Yerusalem bɛhwehwɛɛ no.
46 Patatha masiku atatu anamupeza ali mʼbwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu, atakhala pakati pa aphunzitsi, akumvetsera ndi kuwafunsa mafunso.
Ne nnansa akyi no, wɔkɔhunuu no Yerusalem asɔredan mu sɛ ɔte akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ bi a wɔahyia mu ntam na ɔretie wɔn na ɔrebisabisa wɔn nsɛm.
47 Aliyense amene anamumva Iye anadabwa ndi chidziwitso chake ndi mayankho ake.
Yesu nyansa ne ne nimdeɛ a ɛdaa adi wɔ ne mmuaeɛ nyinaa mu no, yɛɛ nnipa a na wɔretie no no nyinaa nwanwa.
48 Makolo ake atamuona, anadabwa. Amayi ake anati kwa Iye, “Mwanawe, watichitira zimenezi chifukwa chiyani? Abambo ako ndi ine takhala tili ndi nkhawa kukufunafuna Iwe.”
Wɔkɔtoo no sɛ ɔte akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no mfimfini retie wɔn no, ɛyɛɛ wɔn nwanwa. Ne maame frɛɛ no bisaa no sɛ, “Me ba, adɛn na woyɛ yɛn saa? Woama me ne wʼagya ahwehwɛ wo abrɛ.”
49 Iye anawafunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mumandifunafuna? Kodi simukudziwa kuti ndikuyenera kukhala mʼnyumba ya Atate anga?”
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na mohwehwɛ me? Monnim sɛ ɛyɛ mʼasɛdeɛ sɛ metena mʼagya efie som no anaa?”
50 Koma iwo sanazindikire chomwe Iye amatanthauza.
Nanso, nʼawofoɔ no ante deɛ ɔkaeɛ no ase.
51 Kenaka anapita nawo ku Nazareti ndipo anawamvera iwo. Koma amayi ake anasunga zinthu zonsezi mu mtima mwawo.
Yesu ne nʼawofoɔ kɔɔ Nasaret no, ɔyɛɛ ɔsetie maa wɔn. Ne maame de nsɛm a ɛsisiiɛ no nyinaa siee ne tirim.
52 Ndipo Yesu anakula mu nzeru, msinkhu ndi chisomo cha Mulungu ndi anthu.
Yesu nyinii nyansa mu ne honam fam, na ɔnyaa Onyankopɔn ne nnipa anim adom.
