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.
NOW it was in those days that there went forth a mandate from Augustus Caesar to enrol the people of his dominion.
2 Kuŵalanjikwa ko kwaliji kwaandanda, katema che Kulenio paŵaliji jwankulu jwa chilambo cha ku Silia.
This enrolment was first made under the government of Qurinos in Suria.
3 Nipele, ŵandu wose ŵajawile kukuŵalanjikwa, kila mundu ku musi wao.
And every man went to be enrolled in his 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 Jauseph also went up from Natsrath of Galila, unto Jehud, to the city of David, which is called Beth-lechem, because he was of the house and of the family of David,
5 Ŵajawile kukulembekwa pamo ni che Maliamu juŵantomele, juŵaliji pa chiilu.
with Mariam his espoused while with child, there to be enrolled.
6 Paŵaliji ku Beselehemu ko, lyuŵa lya kuligopola ku che Maliamu lyaiche.
And it was that while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should give birth:
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 first-born, and wrapped him in bandages, and laid him in the manger; because there was no place for them where they stayed.
8 Nipele pachilambo pala paliji ni ŵakuchinga mwitinji ŵaŵalindililaga kwakupisyangana mpingo wa ngondolo syao chilo.
But there were shepherds in the country who were staying there, and keeping watch by night over their flocks.
9 Katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Akunnungu ŵakopochele chisisimuchile ni lulanga lwa ukulu wa Ambuje lwalanguchisye mbande syose. Nombewo ŵajogwepe kwannope.
And, behold, the angel of Aloha came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone upon them; and they feared with 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 announce to you great joy, which shall be to all people:
11 Pakuŵa lelo jino mu musi u che Daudi, apagwile Nkulupusyo kwaligongo lyenu, ali Kilisito Ambuje.
for there is born for you to-day the Redeemer, who is the Lord the Meshicha, 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 is to you the sign, You shall find the infant wrapped in bandages, and laid in a manger.
13 Chitema pe kwaoneche mpingo wekulungwa wa achikatumetume ŵa kwinani uli pamo ni katumetume jula, ŵaakusisye Akunnungu, achitiji,
And instantly there were seen with the angel many hosts of the heavens, glorifying Aloha,
14 “Ukulu kwa Akumanani, ni pachilambo pano chipagwe chitendewele kwa ŵandu ŵakwanonyela.”
and saying, Glory to Aloha in the heights, and upon earth peace and good hope for the sons of men.
15 Achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵala paŵajaulangene kwinani, ŵakuchinga ŵasalilene, “Tujaulangane sambano jino ku Beselehemu, tukachilole chachikopochele chatumanyisisye Ambuje.”
And when the angels were gone from them into heaven, the shepherds spake one with another, and said, Let us go unto Beth-lechem, and see the thing which the Lord hath 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 with speed, and found Mariam, and Jauseph, and the infant who was laid in the manger;
17 Ŵele ŵakuchinga paŵammweni mwanache jo, ŵaamanyisye ŵandu wose ngani jiŵajipikene kutyochela kwa achikatumetume nkati mwanache jo.
and when they saw, they showed the word which had been spoken to them concerning the child.
18 Wose ŵaŵapikene jele ngani jiŵasalilwe ni ŵakuchinga ŵasimosile.
And all who heard wondered at those (things) which were told them by the shepherds.
19 Nambo che Maliamu ŵapundile kugaŵika maloŵe go mu ntima mwao achigaganisyaga.
But Mariam kept all these words, and compared 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 those shepherds returned, glorifying and praising Aloha for all that they had seen and heard as they had been 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 the eight days completed to circumcise the child, his name was called Jeshu, for he was so 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 when were completed, the days of their purification according to the law of Musha, they carried him up to Urishlem, to present him before 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, That every male openeth the matrix the holy to the Lord shall be called: )
24 Nipele ŵajawile kuti akatyosye sadaka, njuŵa siŵili pane makandi gaŵili ga ngunda mpela itite pakusachilwa ni Malajisyo ga Ambuje.
and to offer the sacrifice as it is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle-doves, or two of the young of 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.
But there was a certain man in Urishlem, whose name was Shemun; and this man was just and righteous, and he had waited for the consolation of Isroel, and the Spirit of Holiness was upon him.
26 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵammunukulile jwelejo kuti ngaawa akanaŵe kwawona Kilisito Nkulupusyo, jwasagulikwe juŵaliji chilanga cha Ambuje.
And it was said to him from the Spirit of Holiness, that he should not see death, until he had seen the Meshicha 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.
Behold, this man came in the Spirit to the temple, and when his parents brought in Jeshu the child, to do for him as it is commanded in the law,
28 Che Simeoni ŵampochele mwanache mmakono mwao aninkwatogolela Akunnungu, achitiji,
he took him upon his arms and blessed Aloha, and said,
29 “Ambuje, sambano nkunechelela kapolo jwenu nyaule kwa chitendewele, mpela intite pakulanga.
Now dismiss thy servant, my Lord, according to thy word, in peace;
30 Pakuŵa meeso gangu gauweni ukulupusyo wenu,
For lo, mine eyes have seen thy grace,
31 umuupanganyisye paujo pa ŵandu ŵa ilambo yose,
Which thou hast prepared in the face of all the nations;
32 alu ni lulanga lwalukugopola nganisyo sya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni ukulu kwa ŵandu ŵenu ŵa ku Isilaeli.”
A light for the revelation of the peoples, And the glory of thy people Isroel.
33 Atatigwe Che Yesu ni achikulugwe ŵaliji nkugasimonga maloŵe gagaŵechetekwe nkati mwana.
But Jauseph and his mother wondered at these words 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 Shemun blessed them, and said to Mariam his mother, Behold, this child is set for the ruin and uprising of many in Isroel, for the sign of contention.
35 kuti nganisyo sya ŵandu ŵajinji siwoneche pangali kusisika. Nomwe mwasyene chiimpoteche mu ntima mwenu mpela nkusomwa ni chipula.”
And through thine own soul shall pass a spear, that may be revealed the reasonings of the hearts of many.
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.
NOW Chana, the prophetess, (was) the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; she was aged also in her days, and seven years with her husband had lived 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 as of years eighty and four, and she removed not from the temple, and with fasting and with prayer she worshipped in the day and in the night.
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 also arose in that hour and confessed the Lord, and discoursed concerning him with all who were expecting the redemption of Urishlem.
39 Achaŵelesi ŵa Che Yesu paŵamasile kupanganya yose iyaliji mu malajisyo ga Ambuje, ŵausile kumangwao ku Nasaleti chilambo cha ku Galilaya.
And when they had fulfilled every thing according to the law of the Lord, they returned unto Galila, to Natsrath their city.
40 Jwele mwanache jwakusile ni jwalimbangene, jwagumbele lunda ni ntuuka wa Akunnungu ŵaliji pamo nawo.
But the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and was filled with wisdom; and the grace of Aloha was upon 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 relatives every year went unto Urishlem at the feast of Petscha.
42 Che Yesu paŵaliji ni yaka kumi na mbili, ŵapite pamo nawo ku chindimba cho mpela itite pakuŵa chisyoŵelo.
AND when he was a son of twelve years, they went up, as they were used, to the festival.
43 Pagamasile moŵa ga chindimba cho, ŵatandite ulendo wa kuuja mmangwao, nambo mwanache Che Yesu ŵasigele ku Yelusalemu pangaimanyilila achaŵelesi ŵao.
And when the days (were) fulfilled, they returned. But Jeshu, the child, remained in Urishlem, and Jauseph and his mother knew not.
44 Ŵaganisisye kuti ŵaliji pamo mumpingo wa ŵandu ŵa ulendo, ŵajesile lyuŵa tetete, nipele ŵatandite kwasosa mwa achalongo achinjao ni achambusanga ŵao.
For they thought that he was with the sons of the company; and when they had gone the journey of one day, they sought him with the men and with any who knew him.
45 Paŵalepele kwaona ŵausile ku Yelusalemu achasosaga.
And they found him not: and they returned again to Urishlem, and sought him.
46 Pagapite moŵa gatatu, ŵansimene atemi pasikati ŵakwiganya Malajisyo pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, achapilikanilaga ni kwausya mausyo.
And after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them and questioning them.
47 Wose ŵaŵapikene maloŵe gao ŵausimosile umanyilisi wakwe ni iŵatiji pakwanga kwa lunda.
And all of them were astonished, as they heard him, at his wisdom and at 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 when they saw him, they wondered; and his mother said to him, My son, why hast thou done with us thus? for, behold, I and thy father with great anxiety have sought thee.
49 Nombejo ŵajanjile, “Nambo mwansosaga ligongo lyachi? Nganinnyimanyilila kuti ngusachilwa kuŵa pa nyuumba ja Atati ŵangu?”
He saith to them, Why have you sought me (elsewhere)? Knew you not that (in) the house of my Father it behoveth me to be?
50 Nambo achaŵelesi ŵao nganagamanyilila malumbo ga maloŵe gaŵasalilaga.
But they did not comprehend the word that he spake 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 Natsrath, and was subject to them. But 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.
But Jeshu increased in his stature, and in his wisdom, and in favour with Aloha and men.
