Luke 2
1 Now it came to pass in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus to enroll all the world.
Ni nton ri ni sen, Kaisar Agustus a yo doka ndu ba bla ndji bi gbungblu ba wawu.
2 This enrollment first occurred when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Wa a mumlan bla kena, u kiri niyus na Gona umeme suriya.
3 And all went to be enrolled, each into his personal city.
U ko ba nha ba lu hi ni gbumba na ka nha inde ba.
4 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 patriarchy of David,
Isuwu, me a lunde hi ni Galili; Ibgu Nazarat hi ni gbu Yahudiya, Igbu Dawuda, ni wa ba yo ni Batalami, nitu wa a rji ni koh nan hi mlan Dawuda.
5 to enroll himself with Mary, the woman who was betrothed to him, being pregnant.
Ahi nha nde ma ba Maryamu wa a nna'u wa ahe nne.
6 And it came to pass while they were there, the days were fulfilled for her to bring forth.
U ba rhi he niki ri u inton ngrji vren ma ye.
7 And she brought forth her son, the firstborn, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in the feed trough, because there was no place for them in the inn.
waa ngrji vren llon, nna nye'u ni guglo ngbanja nklon na nban ka ka wu yo ni mi nju yawo, nitu wa mikoh ana he wa ba ka yo na, ba bi tsri mu ni gbu'a.
8 And there were shepherds in the same region living in the fields, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Bi krju ntma bi wa ba son in klan kima na ni ya ba ni chu ba he.
9 And behold, an agent of the Lord stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. And they feared a great fear.
U Maleka Irji a rju ni bawu u kpan u rji ka grji kah ba, u ba ka nkbo sissri
10 And the agent said to them, Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be to all the people,
U Maleka kah hla ni bawu, “ndu ba na tie sissrina, a ndi wawu nji tre ndindi ma ye wa ni yo ndi wawu ndu ba ngyiri.
11 because to you was born today in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ Lord.
Luwa ba ngrji Macheto ni gbu Dauda, Inde Kristi Bachi!
12 And this is the sign to you: Ye will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a feed trough.
Bi yi ba alama wa ba tsro yi'a: Bi toh kpran vren ba yo'u nimi ikpi a kakru ni nju yawo.”
13 And suddenly there came to be with the agent a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Ni yiu riro me, gbugbu ndji ni shulu ni Maleku ba gbre Irji san na ni tre andi,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill among men.
“Khikle ruron hi u Irji ni shulu, u dun si he ni ngbungblu ni ba ndji wa suron Irji ku si ni ba.”
15 And it came to pass, as the agents went away from them into heaven, that the men (the shepherds) said to each other, Let us indeed go through as far as Bethlehem, and see this declaration that has come to pass, which the Lord made known to us.
U Maleka ba kma hi kpamba ni shulu, u bi krju ntma ba tre ni kpamba ndi, “ki hi zizan ni Batalami ndi toh ikpe yi wa a tie'a, wa Irji dun ta ki toh.”
16 And having hastened, they came and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the feed trough.
U ba zren gbagbla me hi na ka toh Maryamu mba Isuwu ni vuvren wa ba ka yo ni nju'a
17 And when they saw it, they informed about the declaration that was told them about this child.
U wa ba toh'u a, ba bla hla kpie wa ba wo nitu vren'a.
18 And all who heard it wondered about the things that were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Wawu mba wu biwa ba wo tre Maleka ba tie sissri.
19 But Mary kept all these proclamations, pondering in her heart.
Maryamu son si rhimre itre wa a wo ba wawu na nji ni suron ma.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they heard and saw, as it was told to them.
I gu u krju ntma kma hi na ni ngyiri na ni gbre shi san ni kpie wa ba wo na ka toh na wa ba hla ni bawu'a.
21 And when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise him, that his name was called JESUS, the one called by the agent before he was conceived in the belly.
Ni klekle ivi u tandra ba gen mbru niwu, na zi nde ma ni Yesu, inde wa Maleka zi niwu wa ri he ni mi nne yima'a ri ba ka ngrji'u.
22 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,
Uvi tsrakake mba a ke ni doka Musa, Isuwu mba Maryamu ba nji'u hi ni koh Irji ni Urushelima ndu ba nji'u hi ni shishi Bachi.
23 (just as it is written in a law of the Lord that every male that opens a womb will be called holy to the Lord),
Ni wa ba nha nha ni doka Irji ye'a, Ivren lon wa ba ngrji'a ba nji'u hi no Irji.
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in a law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
U ba no hadaya u Ingyu hari ko Tatabara hari, ni ya nda doka Irji a hla.
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. And this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the encouragement of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Ni Wurishelima, igu ri a he niki ba yo'wu Simion, wa nda a he khriki nani tie ndindi me. Na ni yo shishi u lo suron ni ndji bi Isrela, u Ruhu Irji he ni wu.
26 And it was divinely revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death before he would see the Christ of the Lord.
U nda hla niwu ye nda a na qu na, ama se a ni toh Bachi Kristi.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus, for them to do according to the custom of the law about him,
Ruhu Irji a nji'u Simion hi ni tra u bre Bachi, wa ba tie vuvren nhan nhan'n mba Yesu, ni ndu ba tie kpe wa doka tre Irji hla.
28 he also received it into his arms, and praised God, and said,
U Simion a krju nba rji na ngyiri ni Irji na tre.
29 Now dismiss thy bondman in peace, Master, according to thy word,
I wu wa uhe ni ko ge u ka ndu gran mehi piyan me ni kpe wa wu tre.
30 because my eyes have seen thy salvation,
Ni kpa chu wa me klan mi toh njanji tre,
31 which thou prepared toward the face of all the peoples:
ni wa u mlan tie ni ngbugbu lu ba wawu.
32 a light for enlightenment of Gentiles, and glory of thy people Israel.
I nkpa wa ani tro ba inko mea ni kuma no ni nko Isrela.
33 And Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things being spoken about him.
Ba iyima mba ittima ba tie sissri (mamaki) ikpe wa ba wo ba tre nitu ma.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this man is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign being repudiated
U Simion a tie lulu yo ni bawu nda hla ni Maryamu iyima ndi, “U to, Vivren yi, wawu yi ni dun bari dun ba joku, bari gbugbu ba lunde ni mi Isrela, wa ani tsro gban u wa indji ba kamba -
35 (and also of thee, a sword will pierce through thine own soul), so that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.
Ni dun iwen ndu kpireu dri na no mre ndu wa ani nharan mi suron ndji wawu.
36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (being advanced in many days, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
U Anabi rhi, ahi iwa, ba yo'u ni Hanatu. Ahi vren Fanuwel rji nimi L'be u Asha. Wa a che kpokpome. A sohn ni lon ma ise tangban niwa a gran ni vren wa,
37 and this woman was a widow to eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, serving with fastings and supplications night and day.
u lon ma a qu wa ka son ni kbo ise wulon inkyu tandra ni nza. Ani hi ni nko bre Irji chachu chachu ni chu mba ni mble ani bre Irji ni vu hlan ma.
38 And having stood near at that same hour, she acknowledged the Lord, and spoke about him to all those who were awaiting redemption in Jerusalem.
Ni ki me, a ngyiri ni Irji, na tetra vren ni ndi ba wa wu bi wa ba si gben kpachuwo (fansar) Wurishelima.
39 And when they completed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee to their own city Nazareth.
Ni wa ndji ba kle ko nge wawu na wa ndi bla tre Irji hla'a, u ba ka kma hi ni Galili ni gbumba Nazaret.
40 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom. And the grace of God was upon it.
Ivren sen ni tie ninkon u mre ma ndindi ni babran kpukpome, ndindi (Alheri) u Irji he ni wu.
41 And his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
Ba tie ma ba hi Wurishelima ko wa ni ise ni ngan (Idin Ketarewa).
42 And when he became twelve years old, them having gone up according to the custom of the feast,
Wa-a tie si wulon don ha, u ba rji hi ya da ba hi ni Idin.
43 and having fulfilled the days, during their return the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and his mother did not know it,
Ka ba kle tie ro'a na kma si hi, u vren'a Yesu, wa zu kukri ni kogon ri ni mi Wurishelima a na ni toh ba iyima na.
44 but, having supposed him to be in the caravan, they went a day's journey. And they sought him among their kinfolk and acquaintances.
Ba zren ya ndi a he nimi ba ndji wa ba si hi baba'a, u ba zren u vi rhi. Nda lu ni wa'u nimi ba mlan mba ni kpukpan mba.
45 And not having found him, they turned back to Jerusalem, seeking him.
U wa ba na to'u na, ba kma hi si wa'u ni Wurishelima.
46 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.
U ni vi u tra mba, ba to'u nimi koh Irji, a son ni tsutsu ba bi tsro, asi sren ton si wo ba nda si mye ba.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Biwa basi wo wu wawumba ba tie sissri (mamaki) ni toh tre wa ahe niwu.
48 And when they saw him they were amazed. And his mother said to him, Child, why did thou this way to us? Behold, thy father and I were seeking thee sorrowing.
U ba ka toh, na tie sissri iyima myen inge ba sa u tie nna ki ni ta wu bu tie me, kisi wa wu, ni suron nfu.
49 And he said to them, Why is it that ye were seeking me? Had ye not known that I must be among the things of my Father?
A mye ba, “bi si wa me ni nge, bina toh ndi abi dun mi son ni koh tti mu na?”
50 And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them.
U bana toh tu tre wa a tre ni ba na,
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was being subordinate to them. And his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Wa kma huba hi ni koh ni Nazarat na ni wo tre mba. U iyi ma a nji kpe wa atie gbangba nimi suron ma wawu.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and men.
U Yesu gburon ni hon ni tiya ni toh tre ni tagoma, Irji mba ni ndji me.
