Luka 2
1 Gele moŵa go che Agusto juŵaliji jwankulu jwa mamwenye wa umwenye wa ku Loma ŵalajisye kuti ŵandu wose pachilambo alembekwe meena gao mu chitabu.
And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole world should be enrolled.
2 Kuŵalanjikwa ko kwaliji kwaandanda, katema che Kulenio paŵaliji jwankulu jwa chilambo cha ku Silia.
This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria.
3 Nipele, ŵandu wose ŵajawile kukuŵalanjikwa, kila mundu ku musi wao.
And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city.
4 Che Yusufu nombe ŵatyosile ku Nasaleti chilambo cha ku Galilaya ni kwaula ku Beselehemu chilambo cha ku Yudea kuŵapagwile che Daudi, ligongo ŵaliji jwa lukosyo lu che Daudi.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David,
5 Ŵajawile kukulembekwa pamo ni che Maliamu juŵantomele, juŵaliji pa chiilu.
To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
6 Paŵaliji ku Beselehemu ko, lyuŵa lya kuligopola ku che Maliamu lyaiche.
And it came to pass, that when they were there, her days were accomplished, that she should be delivered.
7 Ŵaligopwele mwanache jwao jwa litiwo jwannume, ŵammilijile iwalo ya chanache ni ŵangoneche mu lichinga mu chombo chakulichisya inyama, pakuŵa nganilipagwa lipesa kwa ŵelewo mu nyuumba ja achalendo.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Nipele pachilambo pala paliji ni ŵakuchinga mwitinji ŵaŵalindililaga kwakupisyangana mpingo wa ngondolo syao chilo.
And there were in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches over their flock.
9 Katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Akunnungu ŵakopochele chisisimuchile ni lulanga lwa ukulu wa Ambuje lwalanguchisye mbande syose. Nombewo ŵajogwepe kwannope.
And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them; and they feared with a great fear.
10 Nambo katumetume jwa kwinani jo ŵaasalile, “Nkajogopa! Nnole, nanjigalile ngani jambone jakwasengwasya nnope ŵandu wose ŵa ku Isilaeli.
And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people:
11 Pakuŵa lelo jino mu musi u che Daudi, apagwile Nkulupusyo kwaligongo lyenu, ali Kilisito Ambuje.
For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
12 Ni achichi chichiŵe chimanyisyo chenu, chimunsimane mwanache jwannandi ŵaŵilijile nguo sya chanache ni sooni ŵagoneche mu lichinga mu chombo chakulichisya inyama.”
And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger.
13 Chitema pe kwaoneche mpingo wekulungwa wa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani uli pamo ni katumetume jula, ŵaakusisye Akunnungu, achitiji,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying:
14 “Ukulu kwa Akumanani, ni pachilambo pano chipagwe chitendewele kwa ŵandu ŵakwanonyela.”
Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will.
15 Achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵala paŵajaulangene kwinani, ŵakuchinga ŵasalilene, “Tujaulangane sambano jino ku Beselehemu, tukachilole chachikopochele chatumanyisisye Ambuje.”
And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.
16 Nipele, ŵajawile kwa chitema ni ŵansimene che Maliamu ni che Yusufu ni mwanache jwannandi ali angoneche mu lichinga mu chombo chakulichisya inyama.
And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
17 Ŵele ŵakuchinga paŵammweni mwanache jo, ŵaamanyisye ŵandu wose ngani jiŵajipikene kutyochela kwa achikatumetume nkati mwanache jo.
And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.
18 Wose ŵaŵapikene jele ngani jiŵasalilwe ni ŵakuchinga ŵasimosile.
And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.
19 Nambo che Maliamu ŵapundile kugaŵika maloŵe go mu ntima mwao achigaganisyaga.
But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
20 Ŵakuchinga ŵala ŵausile mmangwao aninkwakusya ni kwalapa Akunnungu kwa yose iŵaipilikene ni kwiwona, yose yaliji mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 Lyuŵa lya nane kutyochela paŵapagwile ŵamumbesye mwanache, ŵammilasile Che Yesu, liina lilyaliji apegwilwe ni katumetume jwa kwinani katema che Maliamu akanaŵe kuŵa ni chiilu.
And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Pagamasile moŵa ga kutama munnuli lyaiche lyuŵa lya kuswejeswa mpela Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa igakuti kulajisya, che Yusufu ni che Maliamu ŵanjigele mwanache ni ŵajawile nawo ku Yelusalemu kukwaŵika paujo pa Ambuje.
And after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord:
23 Mpela itite pakulembekwa mu Malajisyo, “Jwalijose jwakupagwa jwannume jwa litiwo chaŵilanjikwe jwanswela ni kutyosyekwa kwa ligongo lya masengo ga Ambuje.”
As it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:
24 Nipele ŵajawile kuti akatyosye sadaka, njuŵa siŵili pane makandi gaŵili ga ngunda mpela itite pakusachilwa ni Malajisyo ga Ambuje.
And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons:
25 Kele katema ko kwaliji ni mundu jumo ku Yelusalemu, liina lyakwe che Simeoni, ŵaliji nkupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu. Jweleju jwalindililaga katema ka kutuswa mitima kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli. Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaliji pamo nawo.
And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Ghost was in him.
26 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵammunukulile jwelejo kuti ngaawa akanaŵe kwawona Kilisito Nkulupusyo, jwasagulikwe juŵaliji chilanga cha Ambuje.
And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
27 Nipele, che Simeoni ŵaiche pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ali alongweswe ni Mbumu Jwanswela. Kele katemako achaŵelesi ŵa Che Yesu ŵannyichenawo mwanache jwao pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu kuti ŵapanganyichisye mpela chisyoŵelo cha Malajisyo.
And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
28 Che Simeoni ŵampochele mwanache mmakono mwao aninkwatogolela Akunnungu, achitiji,
He also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 “Ambuje, sambano nkunechelela kapolo jwenu nyaule kwa chitendewele, mpela intite pakulanga.
Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;
30 Pakuŵa meeso gangu gauweni ukulupusyo wenu,
Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 umuupanganyisye paujo pa ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:
32 alu ni lulanga lwalukugopola nganisyo sya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni ukulu kwa ŵandu ŵenu ŵa ku Isilaeli.”
A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Atatigwe Che Yesu ni achikulugwe ŵaliji nkugasimonga maloŵe gagaŵechetekwe nkati mwana.
And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him.
34 Nipele che Simeoni ŵapele upile ni ŵaasalile che Maliamu achikulugwe Che Yesu, “Nnole, mwanache ju apagwile kwa ligongo lya kugwa kwa ŵandu ŵajinji ni kwinamuka kwa ŵandu ŵajinji ŵa ku Isilaeli. Nombe chaaŵe chimanyisyo chachichikanikwe ni ŵandu,
And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted;
35 kuti nganisyo sya ŵandu ŵajinji siwoneche pangali kusisika. Nomwe mwasyene chiimpoteche mu ntima mwenu mpela nkusomwa ni chipula.”
And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.
36 Sooni jwapali jwankongwe jumpepe, jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu juŵachekulwipe nnope, liina lyao lyaliji che Ana binti Fanueli jwa lukosyo lwa Asheli. Mu umwali wao ŵalombekwe ni kutama ni ŵankwakwe kwa yaka saba pe.
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; she was far advanced in years, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity.
37 Nombewo ŵasigele ŵakuwililwa ni ŵankwakwe mpaka katema paŵaliji jwanchekulu jwa yaka semanini na nne. Katema kose ko ŵalonjelaga pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu achitaŵaga ni kupopela muusi ni chilo.
And she was a widow until fourscore and four years; who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.
38 Papopo pepo jwankongwe jo ŵalikopwesye paujo ni kwatogolela Akunnungu ni kusala ngani sya mwanache jo kwa ŵandu wose ŵaŵaliji nkulolela kuwombolwa ni kulecheleswa kwa Yelusalemu.
Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord; and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.
39 Achaŵelesi ŵa Che Yesu paŵamasile kupanganya yose iyaliji mu malajisyo ga Ambuje, ŵausile kumangwao ku Nasaleti chilambo cha ku Galilaya.
And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth.
40 Jwele mwanache jwakusile ni jwalimbangene, jwagumbele lunda ni ntuuka wa Akunnungu ŵaliji pamo nawo.
And the child grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him.
41 Achaŵelesi ŵa Che Yesu ŵaliji ni chisyoŵelo cha kwaula ku Yelusalemu chaka ni chaka katema ka chindimba cha Pasaka ja Ŵayahudi.
And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch,
42 Che Yesu paŵaliji ni yaka kumi na mbili, ŵapite pamo nawo ku chindimba cho mpela itite pakuŵa chisyoŵelo.
And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
43 Pagamasile moŵa ga chindimba cho, ŵatandite ulendo wa kuuja mmangwao, nambo mwanache Che Yesu ŵasigele ku Yelusalemu pangaimanyilila achaŵelesi ŵao.
And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not.
44 Ŵaganisisye kuti ŵaliji pamo mumpingo wa ŵandu ŵa ulendo, ŵajesile lyuŵa tetete, nipele ŵatandite kwasosa mwa achalongo achinjao ni achambusanga ŵao.
And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day’s journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.
45 Paŵalepele kwaona ŵausile ku Yelusalemu achasosaga.
And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Pagapite moŵa gatatu, ŵansimene atemi pasikati ŵakwiganya Malajisyo pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, achapilikanilaga ni kwausya mausyo.
And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 Wose ŵaŵapikene maloŵe gao ŵausimosile umanyilisi wakwe ni iŵatiji pakwanga kwa lunda.
And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.
48 Achaŵelesi ŵao paŵammweni ŵasimosile. Che Maliamu achikulugwe, ŵammusisye Che Yesu, “Ana mmwe mwanangu, ligongo lyachi ntutesile yeleyi? Nnole, atati ŵenu noneji twaliji nkunsosa tuli ni lipamba.”
And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 Nombejo ŵajanjile, “Nambo mwansosaga ligongo lyachi? Nganinnyimanyilila kuti ngusachilwa kuŵa pa nyuumba ja Atati ŵangu?”
And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father’s business?
50 Nambo achaŵelesi ŵao nganagamanyilila malumbo ga maloŵe gaŵasalilaga.
And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.
51 Nipele ŵausile nawo ku Nasaleti ni ŵaliji nkwapilikanichisya. Achikulugwe ŵapundile kuiganisya indu yose mu ntima mwao.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
52 Nombe Che Yesu ŵapundile kula mu lunda ni lisusa ni ŵapundile kunonyelwa ni Akunnungu ni ŵandu.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men.
