Luke 2
1 But it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census should be made of all the habitable world.
E ndalogo, Kaisar Agusto nogolo chik mondo okwan ji e piny Rumi duto.
2 The census itself first took place when Cyrenius had the government of Syria.
(Ma ne en kweno mokwongo mane otimore ka Kwirinio ne en ruodh Siria.)
3 And all went to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his own city:
To ngʼato ka ngʼato nodhi e dalagi owuon mondo ondik nyinge.
4 and Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city Nazareth to Judaea, to David's city, the which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
Kuom mano, Josef bende noa e dala mar Nazareth, e piny Galili modhiyo Judea nyaka Bethlehem e dala mar Daudi, nikech ne en achiel kuom joodgi kendo anywola gi Daudi.
5 to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him [as his] wife, she being great with child.
Nodhi kuno mondo okwane kod Maria, mane osingore mondo okendi, kendo nogeno yudo nyathi.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days of her giving birth [to her child] were fulfilled,
Kane gin kuno, kinde mar nywolo nyathi nochopo,
7 and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him up in swaddling-clothes and laid him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
to nonywolo nyathine makayo, ma wuowi. Ne oboye gi nanga kendo nokete e sanduku mar chiemb dhok, nikech ne onge thuolo e od welo.
8 And there were shepherds in that country abiding without, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
To ne nitie jokwadh rombe manodak oko e lek machiegni kanyo, ka girito jambgi gotieno.
9 And lo, an angel of [the] Lord was there by them, and [the] glory of [the] Lord shone around them, and they feared [with] great fear.
Malaika mar Ruoth nobiro irgi kendo duongʼ mar Ruoth Nyasaye norieny, molworogi, mine giluor.
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not, for behold, I announce to you glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people;
To malaika nowachonegi niya, “Kik uluor. Akelonu wach maber mar mor maduongʼ mabiro bedo ni ji duto.
11 for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David's city, who is Christ [the] Lord.
Kawuononi e dala mar Daudi, osenywolnu Jawar; en Kristo Ruoth.
12 And this is the sign to you: ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and lying in a manger.
Mani nobednu ranyisi: Ubiro yudo nyathi ma obo gi nengni ka onindo ei sanduku mar chiemb dhok.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
Apoya nono oganda maduongʼ mar jopolo nothinyore kod malaika ka gipako Nyasaye kendo wacho niya,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good pleasure in men.
“Duongʼ obed ni Nyasaye e polo malo kendo kwe obed e piny ne ji ma Nyasaye oyiero.”
15 And it came to pass, as the angels departed from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, Let us make our way then now as far as Bethlehem, and let us see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
Kane malaika noseweyo jogi kendo dhiyo e polo, jokwath nowacho kendgi niya, “Wadhiuru Bethlehem mondo wane gima osetimore, ma Ruoth osenyisowa kuome ni.”
16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger;
Kuom mano negidhiyo mapiyo kendo negiyudo Maria gi Josef kod nyathi konindo e sanduku mar chiemb dhok.
17 and having seen [it] they made known about the country the thing which had been said to them concerning this child.
Kane gisenene, negilando wach mar gima ne owachnegi kuom nyathini,
18 And all who heard [it] wondered at the things said to them by the shepherds.
Kendo ji duto manowinjo wachni, nowuoro gima jokwath nowachonegi.
19 But Mary kept all these things [in her mind], pondering [them] in her heart.
To Maria nokano wechegi duto kendo nokanogi e chunye.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen, as it had been said to them.
Jokwath nodok, ka gipako Nyasaye kendo miyo Nyasaye duongʼ kuom gik moko duto mane gisewinjo kendo neno, mana kaka nosenyisgi.
21 And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, which was the name given by the angel before he had been conceived in the womb.
Odiechiengʼ mar aboro kane kinde monego otere nyangu ochopo nomiye nying ni Yesu, nyingno mane malaika osemiye kapok omak ichne.
22 And when the days were fulfilled for their purifying according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem to present [him] to the Lord
Kane kinde ochopo mar pwodhruok kaka Chik mar Musa nochopo, Josef gi Maria notere Jerusalem mondo gichiwe ne Ruoth Nyasaye
23 (as it is written in the law of [the] Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
(mana kaka nondiki e chik mar Ruoth Nyasaye niya, “Nyathi ka nyathi makayo ma wuowi nyaka wal ne Ruoth”),
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of [the] Lord: A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.
kendo kitimo misango koluwore gi gima owachi e Chik mar Ruoth Nyasaye ni mondo ochiw: “akuch odugla ariyo kata nyithi akuru ariyo.”
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and [the] Holy Spirit was upon him.
E kindeno ne nitiere ngʼato Jerusalem miluongo ni Simeon, ne en ngʼat makare kendo moluoro Nyasaye. Norito loch mar Israel, kendo Roho Maler neni kuome.
26 And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see [the] Lord's Christ.
Roho Maler nofwenyone ni ok obi tho kapok oneno Kristo ma Ruoth Nyasaye biro oro.
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law,
Roho notelone motere ei hekalu. Kane jonywol okelo nyathigi ma Yesu mondo otimne gino ma Chik dwaro,
28 he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simeon nokawe moriwe e bade kendo nopako Nyasaye, kowacho niya,
29 Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;
“Ruoth Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, kaka ne isesingo, koro we jatichni odhi gi kwe.
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Nimar wengena oseneno warruokni,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
miseiko e nyim ji duto,
32 a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.
ler mar fweny ne joma ok jo-Yahudi, to mar duongʼ ni jogi Israel.”
33 And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him.
Wuon gi min nyathi nowuoro wach mane owach kuome.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Lo, this [child] is set for the fall and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against;
Eka Simeon nogwedhogi kendo nowachone Maria, min mare niya, “Nyathini oketi mondo okel podho piny gichungʼ malo mar ji mangʼeny e Israel, kendo obed ranyisi mibiro wuo kuome marach.
35 (and even a sword shall go through thine own soul; ) so that [the] thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.
Kuom mano paro mag chunje mangʼeny ibiro fwenyo. To ligangla biro chwoyo chunyi in iwuon bende.”
36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, daughter of Phanuel, of [the] tribe of Asher, who was far advanced in years, having lived with [her] husband seven years from her virginity,
Ne nitie janabi madhako bende, Ana, nyar Fanuel ma ja-dhood Asher. Ne oti ahinya; bende noyudo osedak gi chwore higni abiriyo bangʼ kendne,
37 and herself a widow up to eighty-four years; who did not depart from the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers;
eka nodoko dhako ma chwore otho nyaka koro ne en ja-higni piero aboro gangʼwen. Ne ok oa e hekalu to nolemo otieno gi odiechiengʼ, kotweyo chiemo kendo olamo.
38 and she coming up the same hour gave praise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who waited for redemption in Jerusalem.
Kane obiro irgi e kindeno, nogoyo erokamano ni Nyasaye kendo nowuoyo kuom nyathi ni ji duto mane ogeno kuom resruok mar Jerusalem.
39 And when they had completed all things according to the law of [the] Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.
Kane Josef gi Maria josetimo duto mane dwarore kaluwore gi chik mar Ruoth, negidok Galili e dala margi Nazareth.
40 And the child grew and waxed strong [in spirit], filled with wisdom, and God's grace was upon him.
To nyathino nodongo kendo nobedo motegno; nopongʼ kod rieko, kendo ngʼwono mar Nyasaye ne ni kuome.
41 And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Higa ka higa jonywolne ne dhiyo Jerusalem e Sawo mar Pasaka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up [to Jerusalem] according to the custom of the feast
Kane en ja-higni apar gariyo, negidhiyo e Sawono kaluwore kod timgi.
43 and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not [of it];
Bangʼ ka sawono norumo, ka jonywolne nedok dala, wuowi Yesu nodongʼ chien Jerusalem, to ne ok gingʼeyo mani.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company that journeyed together, they went a day's journey, and sought him among their relations and acquaintances:
Ka giparo ni ne en ei oganda margi, negiwuotho moromo ndalo achiel eka negichako manye e dier wedegi kod osiepe.
45 and not having found him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him.
Kane ok giyude, negidok Jerusalem mondo gimanye.
46 And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers and hearing them and asking them questions.
Bangʼ ndalo adek negiyude ei agolni mag hekalu, kobedo e kind jopuonj, kowinjogi kendo penjogi penjo.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Ngʼato ka ngʼato manowinje nowuoro ngʼeyone kod dwokoge.
48 And when they saw him they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Child, why hast thou dealt thus with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee distressed.
Kane jonywolne onene, negihum. Min-gi nowachone niya, “Wuoda, angʼo momiyo isetimonwa kamano? An kod wuonu wasedwari ka wan gi parruok.”
49 And he said to them, Why [is it] that ye have sought me? did ye not know that I ought to be [occupied] in my Father's business?
Nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ne umanya? Ok ungʼeyo ni onego abed e od wuora?”
50 And they understood not the thing that he said to them.
To ne ok gingʼeyo gima ne owachonegi.
51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and he was in subjection to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
Eka nodhi nyaka Nazareth kodgi kendo nomiyogi luor kowinjogi. To min mare nokano wechegi duto e chunye.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
To Yesu nomedo dongo kobedo gi rieko kendo e ringruok, ka en gi ngʼwono gi Nyasaye kod ji.
