< Luke 2 >

1 Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
Majuwa galii, Kaisari Agustinu mfalumi gwa Rumi kabweriti kulagalira, wantu woseri wa Iushi loseri la Rumi wawalangwi.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Kuwawalanga aku ndo kuweriti kwa kwanja shipindi Kureniu pakaweriti mkulu gwa mukowa gwa Siriya.
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
Su kila muntu kagenditi kulembwa litawu lyakuwi muisi mwakuwi.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
Viraa Yosefu kaweriti na mwanja gwa kulawa Nazareti mumkowa gwa Galilaya, kagenditi muisi ya Betirehemu mumkowa gwa Yudeya pakayiwukiti Dawudi. Yosefu kagenditi kulii toziya kalawiti mushiyuwuku sha Dawudi.
5 to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
Kagenditi kulii wakalembwi pamuhera na Mariya muheta gwakuwi, yakaweriti na yinda.
6 While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
Pawaweriti kulii Betirehemu, shipindi sha Mariya sha kwiwura mwana shisokiti.
7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Kamwiwula mwana gwakuwi gwa kwanja mpalu, kamgubikila nguwu na wamgonjeka muliboma lya wang'ombi, toziya womberi wapatiti ndiri pakugonja kunumba ya wahenga.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Kuweriti na walolera wa mifugu, yawaweriti kuntundu pashiru wankulolera mifugu yawu.
9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kawalawariti walolera wa mifugu na ukwisa wa Mtuwa guwalangaziya. Womberi watiliti nentu,
10 The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
kumbiti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kawagambira, “Namtira! Neni nuwajegerani shisoweru shiwagira, shisoweru ashi hashiwajegeli wantu woseri wanemeleri nentu.
11 For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Leru muisi ya Mfalumi Dawudi kiwuka Mlopoziya gwenu. Mweni ayu ndo Kristu Mtuwa!
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
Ayi haliweri lilangaliru kwa mwenga, pamusoka kala palii hamumwoni nonu wamgubikira vinguwu vya shiwana wamgonjeka muliboma la wang'ombi.”
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
Palaa palii wantumintumi wamonga wa kumpindi wavuwa nentu, waliwoniti pamuhera wamkwisiti Mlungu, pawalonga,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
“Ukwisa uweri kwa Mlungu kumpindi nentu, na ponga iweri pasipanu kwa wantu yawamfira Mlungu!”
15 When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Wantumintumi wa kumpindi pawawukiti kala kuwuya kumpindi kwa Mlungu, walolera wa mifugu wanja kuligambira weni, “Vinu su tugendeni Betirehemu na kulola shintu shashitendikiti, shakatugambiriti Mtuwa.”
16 They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Su wawuka wagenda kanongola, pawasokiti palii wawawona Mariya na Yosefu na nonu ulii wamgonjeka muliboma la wang'ombi.
17 When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Walolera wa mifugu pawamwoniti kala nonu ulii, su wanja kutakula ntambu yawapikaniriti kulawa kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kuusu nonu ayu.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Muntu yoseri yakapikaniriti hangu kashyeniti visoweru vyawatakuliti walolera wa mifugu.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Mariya kavituliti vintu vyoseri avi mumoyu mwakuwi na kavihola mana yakuwi.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Walolera wa mifugu wawuyiti pawayimba kwa kumkwisa Mlungu ntambu yawapikaniriti na yawawoniti, iwera ntambu iraa ilii yawapikaniriti kulawa kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi.
21 When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Palisokiti lishaka lya nani, shipindi sha kumwingiziya mwana jandu, wampananiti litawu Yesu, litawu lyeni ali ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamupananiti kala Mariya pakaweriti ndiri na yinda.
22 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
Pashisokiti shipindi sha msambu gwa kupungwa kwawu Mariya na Yosefu hangu ndo ifiriwitwi mumalagaliru ga Musa, wamtola mwana wagenda nayu Yerusalemu wamtulili Mtuwa,
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
ntambu yayilembitwi mumalagaliru ga Mtuwa, “Kila mwana gwa kwanja mpalu kafiruwa kutulwa kaweri mnanagala kwa Mtuwa.”
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
Viraa virii wagenditi su walaviyi tambiku ya wankunda wawili ama wana wawili wa teteli, ntambu yayifiruwitwi mulilagaliru ga Mtuwa.
25 Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
Shipindi shiraa shilii kuweriti na muntu yumu yawamshema Simoni yakalikaliti Yerusalemu. Kaweriti muntu kaherepa, muntu yakamfiriziya Mlungu na kaweriti kankulolera kulopoziwa kwa wantu wa Israeli. Rohu Mnanagala kaweriti pamuhera na yomberi,
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
na Rohu Mnanagala kamgambiriti kala Simiyoni kulonga hapeni kahowi mpaka kamwoni Kristu yakasyagulitwi na Mtuwa.
27 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
Su Rohu Mnangala kamlonguziyiti Simiyoni kwingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu. Na palii mawu na tati gwa Yesu wamjegiti Yesu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu wamtenderi ntambu yayifiruwitwi mulilagaliru,
28 then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
Simiyoni kamwanka mwana mumawoku mwakuwi na kamkwisa Mlungu pakalonga,
29 “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
“Vinu Mtuwa guweza kumlekeziya ntumintumi gwaku kagendi kwa ponga, toziya gugatimiza galii gagulagaliriti.
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
Masu gangu gawona ulopoziya waku,
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
wawutandiritwi palongolu pa wantu woseri.
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
Ulangala hawuwalangaziyi njira wantu wawawera ndiri Wayawudi na hawujegi ukwisa kwa wantu waku Israeli.”
33 Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
Tati na mawu gwa mwana walikangashiti nentu ntambu yakatakuliti Simiyoni kuusu mwana gwawu.
34 Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
Simoni kawatekelera, kamgambira Mariya mawu gwa Yesu, “Mwana ayu kasyagulitwi na Mlungu toziya ya kwagamira na kulopoziwa kwa wantu wavuwa Muisraeli. Nayomberi hakaweri lilangaliru kulawa kwa Mlungu kumbiti wantu wavuwa hawamtakuli vidoda,
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
na virii vyawalihola wantu mumyoyu mwawu ndo havimaniki. Na gwenga Mariya utama hawuweri gambira mgoha gwagusongoka, haguwusomi moyu gwaku.”
36 There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
Palii kuweriti na mdala mbuyi gwa Mlungu, litawu lyakuwi Ana, mwana gwa Fanueli gwa likabila la Asheri.
37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
Shakapanu kasigaliti mkenja mpaka shipindi pakiwiti mgogolu gwa vinja malongu matatu na msheshi. Shipindi shoseri ashi kalikaliti Munumba nkulu ya Mlungu pakaleka kuliya na pakamluwa Mlungu pashiru na paliwala.
38 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
Shipindi shila shilii, Ana kiziti na kulonga mayagashii Mlungu na katakuliti visoweru vya mwana kwa wantu woseri wawaweriti wankumuhepera Mlungu kwa kukombolwa kwa Yerusalemu.
39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
Maliya na Yosefu pawatenditi kala vyoseri ntambu yanfiruwitwi mulilagaliru ga Mtuwa, su wawuyiti ukaya kwawu Nazareti muisi ya Galilaya.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Mwana kakula kawera na makakala, su kawera na luhala na Mlungu kamtekelera.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
Kila mvinja mawu na tati gwa Yesu wagendaga Yerusalemu mumsambu gwa Pasaka.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
Yesu pakaweriti na vinja lilongu na miwili, wagenditi nayu mumsambu ntambu yayiweriti shitiba.
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know it,
Paguperiti kala msambu gwa Pasaka, wanjiti mwanja gwa kuwuya ukaya, kumbiti Yesu kasigaliti kulaa Kuyerusalemu pota mawu na tati gwakuwi kuvimana.
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
Womberi wavimana Yesu kapamuhera na wantu wa mwanja, wagendagenda lishaka lyoseri, shakapanu wanja kumsakula mwa walongu na waganja wawu.
45 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
Wamwona ndiri, su wawuyiti Yerusalemu pawamsakula.
46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
Lishaka lya tatu wamwoniti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kalikaliti pamuhera na wafunda wa Mayawudi, kaweriti pakawapikinira na kuwakosiya.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Woseri pawampikaniriti vyakatakula, waweriti wankulikangasha ntambu yakeniti mahala na ntambu yakankuliti kwa luhala.
48 When they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”
Mawu na tati gwakuwi pawamwoniti washeniti. Maliya, mawu gwakuwi, kamkosiya, “Mwana gwenga, ashi gututenda ntambu ayi? Neni na tati gwaku tuweriti twankulishera patukusakula.”
49 He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did not you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
Yesu kawankula, “Ntambu gaa mwankunsakula? Muvimana ndiri handa nfiruwa nulikali mnumba mwa Tati gwangu?”
50 They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Kumbiti tati na mawu gwakuwi wavimana ndiri vyakawankuliti.
51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Yesu pakawuyiti pamuhera na mawu na tati gwakuwi Kunazareti, kendereyiti kuwajimira. Mawu gwakuwi kendeleyiti kulihola mmoyu mwakuwi.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Yesu kendereyiti kukula munshimba pamuhera na luhala na kumfiliziya Mlungu pamuhera na wantu.
