Luke 2
1 Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.
Pwu ifigono ifyo, yikhahumila ukhuta Ukaisari Agusto akhahumya ululagilo lwa alikuvavula ukhuta yitowwe mbalilo ya vanu voni avitama nkilunga.
2 This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Iyi yale mbalilo ya kwanda vyuyavombiwe imisikhi gya kvenio vu imbaha va Siria.
3 And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city.
Pwu kila munu uviavinchaga akhaluta khukhilunga kya mwene kusimba mbalilo.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;
Nu Yusufu akhaga novope mkhilungwe kya Nasaleti ya Mgalilaya pwu ali khugenda mkhilunga kya mbetelehemu, kya manyikhikhe ukhuta khilunga kya Ndaveti, ulwakhuva ahumile mu khikholo kya Ndaveli.
5 to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child.
Akhalufa ukhwa khukhisimba paninie nu Maliya, uvi uyu ali ng'ija va mwene khange alikhwihuvila umwana.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.
Pwu yikhahumila ukhuta, vuvalyukhu unsikhi gwa mwene gwa khuhola umwana gukhe fikhe.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Akhifungula umwana undemi, ung'oliwa va mwene uva khwanja, akhamfwalincha imienda yilekha ukhwingila imepu umwana pwa akhambikha mlitenchi ilya khulela ifikonu, ulwakhuva yikhasikuli inyumba ya vugenji.
8 And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Pwu apene apo, valepo avademi vali khutama khufyalo valikudema ifipuga fya Ng'osi ncha vene pakhilo.
9 And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
Gafla, usungwa va Nkuludeva akhavahumila, nu lumuli lwa Nkuludeva lukhamulikha ukhuvanchungula, pwu vakhava nu vudwanchi fincho.
10 And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:
Pwu usung'wa akhavavula, mlekhe ukhudwada, ulwakhuva ni khuvagegela inongwa imonu iyuyigega uluhekhelo uluvaha khivanu voni.
11 for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
Ilelo umpokhi aholiwe khuliumwe mkhilunga kya Daveli! Umwene vi Nkristi Unkuludeva!
12 And this [is] the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.
Ikhi khyu khimanyilo ni khuvapa, mkumbona umwana apinyiwe imyanda igona mkhitanchi kya khulisihincha ifikanu.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Gafla khkha na avasikhali vingi ilya khukhyanya likhalungana nane usung'wa uywa valikunginia Unguluve, valinkuta, “Uvuvalanche vwa Unguluve uvyahikhu khyanya fincho nu hinonchehencho luve Nkilunga kuvoni uvu onongwa.”
14 Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.
15 And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
Pwu yikheva Avasungwa avile vahegile ukhuluta khukhyanya, avademi vakhincho fanji vako, “Tuvukhe lino kwu Betelehemu, tu khalole ikhinu ikhi ikhihumile, ambacho Bwana ametufahamisha.”
16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Vagaha khimbivi mbivi ukhu vakhembona Umaliya nu Yusufu, pwu vakha mbona nu mwana igona mu khetenchi kya fiko.
17 And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Vavila valolile evwo vakhavavula avanu ikyu vavuliwe khu mwana.
18 And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.
Voni avapulike inongwa iyi valikudega ikhichovivwe ni vademi.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Pwu Umaliya alikupisaga khugoni ugwo apulikhe, akhagavikha munumbula ya mwene.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them.
Avademi vakhavuya nu khuginia Unguluve kwu fyoni ifyu vapulikhe nu khulola, nduvu vwu lilikhuchovivwa khuvone.
21 And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Kyavilekhefikhe ikhigono ikya nene gwale gunsikhi gwa ukhukeketa umwana, vakhamwilanga ilitavwa lya mwene vi Yisu, ilitavwa ilyu ampile unsung'wa vusahifikhe uvuchitu mwitumbu.
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
Inchavene inchilikulunchiwa uvuvalanche vu chilutile, ukhukongana ni ndagilo cha Mose, u Yusufu nu Maliya vukhangilikha khutembile khukhumbikha khuvulongolo kwa Nkuludeva.
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
Nduvu yisimbiwe mndagilo cha nuludeva, “Khila ngosi uvi idindula ilitumbu ikhwilangiwa uvinchumichiwe nekhelo kwu kuludeva.”
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.
Na vope valikhwicha kwihumya inekhelo ukhukongana ni kyu khicho vivwa mu ndagila vha Nkuludeva, “Injiva au ifyana fya Njiva.”
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Lola, pale nu munu mu Yelusalemu ailangivwaga vi Simeoni, umunu uyu ali nu wayilweli munu va Nguluve. Umwene alikupu likhila uvakuchesya mu Israeli, nu mepo umbalawe ale khumwene.
26 And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Yikhadenduliwe khumwene ukhugendela kwa mepo umbalache ukhuta umwene sakhale ifwa vwu sambwene Ukristi va Nkuludeva.
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law,
Ikhigono ikhinge akhicha mgati mtembile, akhalongochiwa nu mepu umbalache upwu avahonchi vakhandata umwana, Yesu, ukhumbombela gala aginogiwa ukhukongana ni ndagilo,
28 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
pwu Simoni akhamwupilila mmavoko ga mwene, akhaginia Unguluve nu khuta,
29 Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord, According to thy word, in peace;
“Lino ing'eche umbonbi vakho alutage nu lunochehecho lwa Ntwa, ukhuvongano ni limenyu lyako.
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Ukhwakhuva miho gango gavuwene uvupokhi vwakho,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
uvwo vuvonikhe pamiho gavanu voni.
32 A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel.
Umwene ve humhli kuluvonekhelo khufihunga nu vuvalache vwa vane va Israeli.”
33 And his father and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him;
Udada ni mama va mwana vulikudeva imbombo ichilikhuchovi vwa kwu mwene.
34 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;
Pwu Usimoni akhavasaya akhatakhwa Maliya umamaye, “Pulihicha vunonu umwana uyu yiva nongwa ya khuyancha nu khupokha kwu vanu vingi mu OIsraeli khange khimanyilo ikhyu ikhi avanu vingi ya vi becha. Khange panga iyu yikave yi nyanya inyivonelo chakho yuve, yive amasago ga numbula ya vingi yivonesye.”
35 yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.
36 And 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,
Unyamalago udala uvialikwilanyiwa Ana nevopo alemwo mtembile. Umwene ale mwana va Fanueli ukhuhuma mkhivumbu kho kya asheri. Ale ni figono fingi ficho. Navope alikhutama nu gosi va mwene imiaka saba vuvatoline,
37 and she had been a widow even unto fourscore and four years), who departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day.
pwu akha ijane imiakha themanini na minne. Navope sagala ahage mtembile alikhugendelela ukhudova Unguluve nu khudova, pakhilo na pamusi.
38 And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
Khunsikhu ug'wa akhicha pala upwu valipwo akhatengula ukhundimya Unguluve. Alikhuchova inongwa cha mwana kwu munu nu munu uviavechaga uvialikhugulila uvupokhi vwa Yerusalemu.
39 And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Vuvamalile kila khila khinu ikhyu khinogiwa ukhuvomba ukhukongana ni ndagilo cha Nkuludeva, vakhakhivokha kwu Galilaya, kwu khilunga kya vene, Nazareti.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Umwana akhekula, akhava na makha, alikhukula nu luhala, nu luhunga lwa Nguluve lukhava khumwene.
41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Avahochi va mwene gunafike umwakha valikhula khu Yerusalemu kwu sikhukhuu ya Pasaka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast;
Avile iva ni miakha kumiho miwili, vakhaluta khange khu nsikhi gwa nyiho kwu sikhukhuu.
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not;
Vu vasigile isikhu choni kwu sikhukhuu, vakhatengula ukhuvuya khumiavo, pwu udemi u Yisu akha sigala khusana Myerusalemu khange avahochi savakhalumanya.
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance:
Valikhuta pwale alimlipuga ilivali kugendania, pwu vakhagenda ficho ulugendo lwa sikhu. Pwu vakhatengula ukhuhunela muvalukhulo lwavo, mvamanyani.
45 and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.
Vavile valemwile ukhumbona, vakhaki lwukha kwu Yerusalemu pwu vakhatengula ukhundanda umwa.
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 asking them questions:
Yikhahumila ukhuta vuchifikhe iskhu itetu, vakhambona Mtembile, achige atamila pagati pa vamanyisi, ikhuvapulihiche nu kuvavucha.
47 and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Voni uvuva mpulihiche valikhudega nu luhala lwa mwene ni nyandilo che mwene.
48 And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.
Vuvile vumbwene, valikudega. Uvanina akhambula, “Manango, khekhiutuvombile evwo? Pulihicha udada vakha nayune tulikhukhulonda nu vudwachi vuvaha.”
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father’s house?
Akhavanda, “Khekhi mlikhondonda? Samukhalumanye ukhuta une nive kwu nyumba ya Dada vango?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
Pope savakhalumanya inogwa ukhuta khekhi mmanyu aga.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all [these] sayings in her heart.
Pu akhahega paninie na vene, ukhu fikha khumyavoyo kwu Nazareti khange ale mwidihichi khuvene. Uvanina akhavikha aga munumbula ya mwene.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Pwu Yisu alikhula nu luhala na kutoga, nu khuganiwa nu Nguluve na vanu.
