Luke 2
1 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.
Masuba ayo Agasita, mwami waku Loma walabika mulawo wakwambeti bantu bonse bali mubulelo bwa Loma balembwe.
2 This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Uku kwalikuba kulembesha kwakuyamba kwalenshika cindi Kwilinyasi mpwalikuba mwendeleshi wa cishi ca Siliya.
3 And everyone went to his own town to register.
Lino bonse bantu balaya akulembesha umo ne umo kumunshi kucomwabo.
4 So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David.
Yosefe neye walanyamuka kufuma ku Nasaleti munshi walikuba mucimpansha ca Galileya kuya kumunshi wa Dafeti, uko kwali kukwiweti Betelehemu, mucishi ca Yudeya, pakwinga walikuba wamulibunda lya Dafeti.
5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.
Walaya pamo ne Maliya uyo ngwalikuba wamamikila, kwambeti naboyo baye balembwe. Cindi ico Maliya walikuba wemita.
6 While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.
Kabacili kopeloko masuba akwambeti Maliya apulukemo alakwana,
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
walasema mwana wakwiya mutuloba. Walamupetelesha mubikwisa ne kumoneka mucibaya mwali kulyela ng'ombe, pakwinga nkakwalikuba musena mu ng'anda ya bensu.
8 And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
Kucishi kopeloko kwalikuba bembeshi balikwembela mbelele shabo mashiku.
9 Just then an angel of the Lord stood before 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 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:
Nomba mungelo walabambileti, “Kamutatina pakwinga ndalete Mulumbe Waina weti ukondweleshe bantu bonse.
11 Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
Mashiku alelo mumunshi wa mwami Dafeti mulasemwe Mupulushi wenu wananikwa uyo walaiwa, Klistu endiye Mwami.
12 And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
Lino cishibisho cakendi nici; Nimuye mucane mwana kateta wafungailwa mubikwisa kaliwona mucibaya mwakulyela ng'ombe.”
13 And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, 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, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
“Alumbwe Lesa wa kwilu wapitapo kayi panshi pabe lumuno pakati pa bantu Lesa mbakondwa nabo.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem 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 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.
Lino balaya mwakufwambana, nekucana Maliya ne Yosefu boneka mwana mucibaya mwalikulyela ng'ombe.
17 After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.
Mpobalamubona, bembeshi basa balabamba byonse mbyalabambila mungelo usa pamwana walasemwa.
18 And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
Bonse balanyumfwa makani ayo alambwa ne bembeshi balakankamana.
19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered 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 they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
Bembeshi basa balabwelela, nkabalemeka nekulumbaisha Lesa pabyonse mbyobalanyufwa nekubona. Calenshika ndendende mbuli mwalabambilila Mungelo.
21 When the eight days until His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He had been conceived.
Mwana usa mpwalakwanisha masuba asanu ne atatu balamwelula nekumutumba lineti Yesu. Lina ndyalamba mungelo, Yesu nkatana aba mulibunda lyabanyina.
22 And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him 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.
23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),
Pakwinga calembwa mu Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose kwambeti, “Mwana uliyense mutuloba, wakwiya welela kubengwa kuli Lesa.”
24 and to offer the sacrifice specified 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 Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Lino mu Yelusalemu mwalikuba muntu walikukwiweti Simyoni, walikuba muntu walikutina Lesa. kayi Mushimu Uswepa walikuba pali endiye. Walikupembelela cindi cakwambeti Lesa akapulushe Baislaeli.
26 The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Mushimu Uswepa walamuyubulwila kwambeti nteshi akafwe nkatanabona Klistu mupulushi walaiwa ne Lesa.
27 Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under 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.
28 Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
Popelapo Simyoni walatambula mwana nekumufukatila mumakasa mwakendi ne kulumbaisha Lesa ne maswi akwambeti,
29 “Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant 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 in the sight of all people,
lupulusho ulo ndomwalabamba, pamenso abantu bonse.
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
Uyu ni mumuni walambweti nukamunikile bantu ba mishobo naimbi, nekwambeti pakabe bulemeneno pa bantu benu Ba isilayeli.”
33 The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
Baishi ne banyina balakankamana mpobalanyumfwa maswi ngalamba Simyoni pa mwana uyu.
34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be 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 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
Neco miyeyo ili mumyoyo yabantu bangi, nikabonekele patuba. Nenjobe Maliya mapensho nakakwikate ne kuyasa kumuyo eti cibeshi.”
36 There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,
Kayi kwalikuba mushinshimi mutukashi mukalibingi lina lyakendi ni Ana. Walikuba mwanendi Faniwelo wa mulibunda lya Asha uyo walekala ne baibendi byaka bisanu ne bibili, Lino neye walikuba mucembele.
37 and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
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 forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
Nendi mpwalashikako copeleco cindi, walatatika kulumbaisha Lesa, kambila bantu bonse sha mwana uyo ngobalikupembelela cindi Lesa mposhi akapulushe Yelusalemu.
39 When Jesus’ parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
Yosefe ne Maliya mpobalapwisha kwinsa byonse kwelana ne Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose, balabwelela kucomwabo ku Nasaleti mucishi ca Galileya.
40 And the Child grew and became strong. He was 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 Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
Bashali ba Yesu balikuya lyonse ku Yelusalemu mwaka ne mwaka akusekelela Pasika.
42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.
Yesu mpwalaba ne myaka likumi ne ibili, balaya kopeloko mbuli cinga cabo.
43 When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed.
Mpobalapwisha kusekelela bala bwelela kucomwabo, Yesu walashala ku Yelusalemu, bashali bakendi nkabalenshiba.
44 Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.
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 could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.
Mpobalacaneti kuliyawa, balabwelela ku Yelusalemu kabaya akumulangola.
46 Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, 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 And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.
Bantu bonse balakankamana mpobalanyufwa mbuli mwalikubakumbulila ne mano.
48 When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”
Bashali bakendi mpobalamubona balakankamana. Lino banyina balamwipusheti, “Mwana obe, ulatwinshili cani cisa? Bona ame ne baiso tulashupiki kukuyandola.”
49 “Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Nomba nkamundangwela cani, sena nkamucishi kwambeti ndelela kuba mung'anda ya Bata?”
50 But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.
Balo baliya kunyufwishisha ncalabakumbula.
51 Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
Lino Yesu walanyamuka nekuya nabo kucomwabo ku Nasaleti pakwinga walikunyumfwila banyina. Maliya walasunga bintu ibi byonse mumoyo wakendi.
52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
Yesu walakula necimo ca mano kayi walaba mwana weshi kukondwelesha Lesa nebantu bonse.
