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 in those days, there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world be registered—
2 Kuŵalanjikwa ko kwaliji kwaandanda, katema che Kulenio paŵaliji jwankulu jwa chilambo cha ku Silia.
this census first came to pass when Quirinius was governor of Syria—
3 Nipele, ŵandu wose ŵajawile kukuŵalanjikwa, kila mundu ku musi wao.
and all were going to be registered, each to his proper 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, to Judea, to the city of David, that is called Beth-Lehem, because of his being of the house and family of David,
5 Ŵajawile kukulembekwa pamo ni che Maliamu juŵantomele, juŵaliji pa chiilu.
to register himself with Mary his betrothed wife, being with Child.
6 Paŵaliji ku Beselehemu ko, lyuŵa lya kuligopola ku che Maliamu lyaiche.
And it came to pass, in their being there, the days were fulfilled for her bringing forth,
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 Son—the firstborn, and wrapped Him up, and laid Him down in the manger, because there was not a place for them in the guest-chamber.
8 Nipele pachilambo pala paliji ni ŵakuchinga mwitinji ŵaŵalindililaga kwakupisyangana mpingo wa ngondolo syao chilo.
And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the field 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, a messenger of the LORD stood over them, and the glory of the LORD shone around 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 messenger said to them, “Do not fear, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be to all the people,
11 Pakuŵa lelo jino mu musi u che Daudi, apagwile Nkulupusyo kwaligongo lyenu, ali Kilisito Ambuje.
because today in the city of David a Savior was born to you, who is Christ the LORD!
12 Ni achichi chichiŵe chimanyisyo chenu, chimunsimane mwanache jwannandi ŵaŵilijile nguo sya chanache ni sooni ŵagoneche mu lichinga mu chombo chakulichisya inyama.”
And this [is] the sign to you: you will find a Baby wrapped up, lying in the manger.”
13 Chitema pe kwaoneche mpingo wekulungwa wa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani uli pamo ni katumetume jula, ŵaakusisye Akunnungu, achitiji,
And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,
14 “Ukulu kwa Akumanani, ni pachilambo pano chipagwe chitendewele kwa ŵandu ŵakwanonyela.”
“Glory in the highest to God, and on earth peace, among men—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, when the messengers were gone away from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said to one another, “We may indeed go over to Beth-Lehem and see this thing that has come to pass, that the LORD made known 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, having hurried, and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the Baby lying in the manger,
17 Ŵele ŵakuchinga paŵammweni mwanache jo, ŵaamanyisye ŵandu wose ngani jiŵajipikene kutyochela kwa achikatumetume nkati mwanache jo.
and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the Child.
18 Wose ŵaŵapikene jele ngani jiŵasalilwe ni ŵakuchinga ŵasimosile.
And all who heard [it] wondered concerning the things spoken to them by the shepherds;
19 Nambo che Maliamu ŵapundile kugaŵika maloŵe go mu ntima mwao achigaganisyaga.
and Mary was preserving all these things, 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 turned back, glorifying and praising God for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken to 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 when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise the Child, then was His Name called Jesus, having been so called by the messenger before His being 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 when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the Law of Moses, they brought Him up to Jerusalem, to present 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 has been written in the Law of the LORD: “Every male opening a womb will 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 give a sacrifice, according to that said in the Law of the LORD: “A pair of turtle-doves, 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 whose name [is] Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the comforting of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him,
26 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵammunukulile jwelejo kuti ngaawa akanaŵe kwawona Kilisito Nkulupusyo, jwasagulikwe juŵaliji chilanga cha Ambuje.
and it has been divinely told him by the Holy Spirit—not to see death before he may see 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 in the Spirit into the temple, and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for their doing according to the custom of the Law regarding Him,
28 Che Simeoni ŵampochele mwanache mmakono mwao aninkwatogolela Akunnungu, achitiji,
then he took Him in his arms, and blessed God, and he said,
29 “Ambuje, sambano nkunechelela kapolo jwenu nyaule kwa chitendewele, mpela intite pakulanga.
“Now You send Your servant away, O LORD, according to Your word, in peace,
30 Pakuŵa meeso gangu gauweni ukulupusyo wenu,
because my eyes saw Your salvation,
31 umuupanganyisye paujo pa ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose,
which You prepared before the face of all the peoples,
32 alu ni lulanga lwalukugopola nganisyo sya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni ukulu kwa ŵandu ŵenu ŵa ku Isilaeli.”
a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Your people Israel.”
33 Atatigwe Che Yesu ni achikulugwe ŵaliji nkugasimonga maloŵe gagaŵechetekwe nkati mwana.
And Joseph and His mother were wondering at the things 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 His mother Mary, “Behold, this [One] is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against—
35 kuti nganisyo sya ŵandu ŵajinji siwoneche pangali kusisika. Nomwe mwasyene chiimpoteche mu ntima mwenu mpela nkusomwa ni chipula.”
(and also a sword will pass through your own soul)—that the reasonings of many hearts 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 Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she was much advanced in days, having lived with a 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 [is] a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, serving with fasts and supplications, 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.
and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the LORD, and was speaking concerning Him to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Achaŵelesi ŵa Che Yesu paŵamasile kupanganya yose iyaliji mu malajisyo ga Ambuje, ŵausile kumangwao ku Nasaleti chilambo cha ku Galilaya.
And when they completed all things according to the Law of the LORD, they turned back to Galilee, to their city of Nazareth;
40 Jwele mwanache jwakusile ni jwalimbangene, jwagumbele lunda ni ntuuka wa Akunnungu ŵaliji pamo nawo.
and the Child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on 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 were going yearly to Jerusalem, at the Celebration of the Passover,
42 Che Yesu paŵaliji ni yaka kumi na mbili, ŵapite pamo nawo ku chindimba cho mpela itite pakuŵa chisyoŵelo.
and when He became twelve years old, they having gone up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the celebration,
43 Pagamasile moŵa ga chindimba cho, ŵatandite ulendo wa kuuja mmangwao, nambo mwanache Che Yesu ŵasigele ku Yelusalemu pangaimanyilila achaŵelesi ŵao.
and having finished the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and His mother did not know,
44 Ŵaganisisye kuti ŵaliji pamo mumpingo wa ŵandu ŵa ulendo, ŵajesile lyuŵa tetete, nipele ŵatandite kwasosa mwa achalongo achinjao ni achambusanga ŵao.
and having supposed Him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey, and were seeking Him among the relatives and among the acquaintances,
45 Paŵalepele kwaona ŵausile ku Yelusalemu achasosaga.
and having not found Him, they turned back to 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, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them,
47 Wose ŵaŵapikene maloŵe gao ŵausimosile umanyilisi wakwe ni iŵatiji pakwanga kwa lunda.
and all those hearing Him were astonished at His understanding and 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 having seen Him, they were amazed, and His mother said to Him, “Child, why did You do this to us? Behold, Your father and I, sorrowing, were seeking You.”
49 Nombejo ŵajanjile, “Nambo mwansosaga ligongo lyachi? Nganinnyimanyilila kuti ngusachilwa kuŵa pa nyuumba ja Atati ŵangu?”
And He said to them, “Why [is it] that you were seeking Me? Did you not know that it is necessary for Me to be in the things of My Father?”
50 Nambo achaŵelesi ŵao nganagamanyilila malumbo ga maloŵe gaŵasalilaga.
And they did not understand the saying that He spoke to 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 He was subject to them, and His mother was keeping all these sayings in her heart,
52 Nombe Che Yesu ŵapundile kula mu lunda ni lisusa ni ŵapundile kunonyelwa ni Akunnungu ni ŵandu.
and Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favor with God and men.
