6 While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
Kabacili kopeloko masuba akwambeti Maliya apulukemo alakwana,
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.

8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Kucishi kopeloko kwalikuba bembeshi balikwembela mbelele shabo mashiku.
9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Mwakutayeyela, mungelo wa Mwami walabonekela kuli endibo. Kubala kwa bulemeneno bwa Mwami kwalabamunikila tuu! Lino balatina.
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.
Nomba mungelo walabambileti, “Kamutatina pakwinga ndalete Mulumbe Waina weti ukondweleshe bantu bonse.
11 For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
Lino cishibisho cakendi nici; Nimuye mucane mwana kateta wafungailwa mubikwisa kaliwona mucibaya mwakulyela ng'ombe.”
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
Mwakutayeyela kwalabonekela likoto lya bangelo bangi ba kwilu pamo ne mungelo usa bali kulumbaisha Lesa kabambeti,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
“Alumbwe Lesa wa kwilu wapitapo kayi panshi pabe lumuno pakati pa bantu Lesa mbakondwa nabo.”
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.”
Bangelo balabwelela kwilu, lino bembeshi balatatika kwambilaneti, “Katuyani tushikeko ku Betelehemu tuye tubone cilenshiki ico ncalatwambili Mwami.”
16 They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.

17 When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Mpobalamubona, bembeshi basa balabamba byonse mbyalabambila mungelo usa pamwana walasemwa.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Bonse balanyumfwa makani ayo alambwa ne bembeshi balakankamana.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Maliya walapitilisha kubyanuka bintu byonse ibi kayi walinkabiyeyapo mumoyo wakendi cindi conse.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Bembeshi basa balabwelela, nkabalemeka nekulumbaisha Lesa pabyonse mbyobalanyufwa nekubona. Calenshika ndendende mbuli mwalabambilila Mungelo.
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.
Mwana usa mpwalakwanisha masuba asanu ne atatu balamwelula nekumutumba lineti Yesu. Lina ndyalamba mungelo, Yesu nkatana aba mulibunda lyabanyina.
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
Mpocalashika cindi cakwambeti, Yosefe ne maliya bense mwambo wakuswepesha pakukonka Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose, mwanoyo balaya nendi ku Yelusalemu kwambeti bamubenge kuli Mwami.

Pakwinga calembwa mu Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose kwambeti, “Mwana uliyense mutuloba, wakwiya welela kubengwa kuli Lesa.”
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.”
Balaya akubenga mulumbo wa nkulimba shibili nambi bana ba baciba babili kwelana mbuli calembwa mu Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Mose.
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.
Lino mu Yelusalemu mwalikuba muntu walikukwiweti Simyoni, walikuba muntu walikutina Lesa. kayi Mushimu Uswepa walikuba pali endiye. Walikupembelela cindi cakwambeti Lesa akapulushe Baislaeli.

Mushimu Uswepa walamuyubulwila kwambeti nteshi akafwe nkatanabona Klistu mupulushi walaiwa ne Lesa.
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,
Busuba bumbi Mushimu Uswepa walamwambila simyoni kwambeti ayenga kung'anda ya Lesa. Bamashali ba Yesu balengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa ne mwana kwambeti bamwinshile mwambo wa Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Mose.

Popelapo Simyoni walatambula mwana nekumufukatila mumakasa mwakendi ne kulumbaisha Lesa ne maswi akwambeti,
29 “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
“Mwami, lino ndekeni ame musebenshi wenu, njenga mulumuno, pakwinga mulenshi ncomwalanshomesha.
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
Pakwinga menso akame alabono lupulusho lwenu,
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;

32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
Uyu ni mumuni walambweti nukamunikile bantu ba mishobo naimbi, nekwambeti pakabe bulemeneno pa bantu benu Ba isilayeli.”
33 Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
Baishi ne banyina balakankamana mpobalanyumfwa maswi ngalamba Simyoni pa mwana uyu.
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.
Lino Simyoni walabaleleka nekwambila Maliya banyina mwana eti, uyu mwana walasalwa ne Lesa, “Kwambeti awishe ne kupundusha bangi pakati pa bantu ba mu Islayeli. Nakabe cishibisho catumwa ne Lesa, ico bantu bangi ncoti bakakane.
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
Neco miyeyo ili mumyoyo yabantu bangi, nikabonekele patuba. Nenjobe Maliya mapensho nakakwikate ne kuyasa kumuyo eti cibeshi.”
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,

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.
Pacindi co walikuba ne byaka makumi asanu ne atatu kayi ne byaka bina. Cindi conse walikwikala mu Ng'anda ya Lesa. Walikapaila kuli Lesa mashiku ne munshi kayi ni muntu walikulikanisha kulya.
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.
Nendi mpwalashikako copeleco cindi, walatatika kulumbaisha Lesa, kambila bantu bonse sha mwana uyo ngobalikupembelela cindi Lesa mposhi akapulushe Yelusalemu.
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.
Yosefe ne Maliya mpobalapwisha kwinsa byonse kwelana ne Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose, balabwelela kucomwabo ku Nasaleti mucishi ca Galileya.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Mwana usa walakula nekuba ne ngofu kayi walaba ne mano. Neco Lesa walamuleleka.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
Bashali ba Yesu balikuya lyonse ku Yelusalemu mwaka ne mwaka akusekelela Pasika.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
Yesu mpwalaba ne myaka likumi ne ibili, balaya kopeloko mbuli cinga cabo.
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,
Mpobalapwisha kusekelela bala bwelela kucomwabo, Yesu walashala ku Yelusalemu, bashali bakendi nkabalenshiba.
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.
Balo bashali bakendi bali kabayeyeti uli mulikoto lya bantu mbobali kuyanabo munshila, balenda musuma wa busuba bumo. Lino balatatika kumuyandaula kubamakwabo ne kubanabo.
45 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
Mpobalacaneti kuliyawa, balabwelela ku Yelusalemu kabaya akumulangola.
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.
Balamucana mpopalapita masuba atatu mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, nkali ekala pakati pa beshikwiyisha, nkanyumfwila maswi abo kayi nkabepusha mipusho.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Bantu bonse balakankamana mpobalanyufwa mbuli mwalikubakumbulila ne mano.
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.”
Bashali bakendi mpobalamubona balakankamana. Lino banyina balamwipusheti, “Mwana obe, ulatwinshili cani cisa? Bona ame ne baiso tulashupiki kukuyandola.”
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 walakumbuleti, “Nomba nkamundangwela cani, sena nkamucishi kwambeti ndelela kuba mung'anda ya Bata?”
50 They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Balo baliya kunyufwishisha ncalabakumbula.
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.
Lino Yesu walanyamuka nekuya nabo kucomwabo ku Nasaleti pakwinga walikunyumfwila banyina. Maliya walasunga bintu ibi byonse mumoyo wakendi.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Yesu walakula necimo ca mano kayi walaba mwana weshi kukondwelesha Lesa nebantu bonse.
