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.
Lukumbi lwenulo, Agusiti mweavi nkosi mkulu wa vankosi va unkosi va ku Loma, alagizili vandu voha vayandikwa muchitabu.
2 The census itself first took place when Cyrenius had the government of Syria.
Kuyandakiswa kwenuko kwakita kutumbukana, na lukumbi lwenulo Kulenio avi chilongosi wa ku Silia.
3 And all went to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his own city:
Kila mundu, akahamba kumuji waki muni ajiyandikisayi.
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,
Na Yosefu mewa akawuka pamuji wa Nazaleti wewavi kumulima wa Galilaya, akahamba kumuji wa Betelehemu wewavi pamulima wa ku Yudea, kweavelikiwi nkosi Daudi.
5 to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him [as his] wife, she being great with child.
Akahamba kuyandakiswa pamonga na maliya mweavimchumba waki, mweavi na ndumbu.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days of her giving birth [to her child] were fulfilled,
Pevavi ku Betelehemu ligono laki likahika akavya na mwana.
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.
Akaveleka mwana waki mtumbulanu mwana mgosi, akamtindisila tunyula twa vana, kangi akamgonesa muwatu wa kulisila mifuya, ndava vapati lepi fwasi munyumba za vayehe.
8 And there were shepherds in that country abiding without, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Pamulima wenuwo kwavi na vadimaji vevatama pandu pa kudimila na kulindalila mambelele gavi cha kupishana kilu.
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.
Mtumu wa Chapanga akavahumila na lumuli lukulu lwa Bambu lwavalangasili, pandu poha. Vayogwipi neju.
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;
Nambu Mtumu wa Chapanga akavajovela, “Mkotoka kuyogopa! Myuwanayi nivaletili lilovi la bwina la luheku neju kwa vandu voha va Paisilaeli.
11 for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David's city, who is Christ [the] Lord.
Muni lelu pamuji wa Daudi avelikiwi msangula winu, Kilisitu ndi Bambu.
12 And this is the sign to you: ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and lying in a manger.
Na ulangisu wa kummanya ndi uwu, yati mukumkolela mwana vamtindisili tunyula twa vana vamgonisi muwatu wa kulisila mifuya.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
Bahapo msambi wa vamitumu vangi va kunani vakawungana na mtumi mwenuyo vakamulumba Chapanga na kujova,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good pleasure in men.
“Alumbiwayi Chapanga kunani, na uteke uvyaa pamulima kwa vandu veaganisiwi nawu!”
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.
Pavawuyili Vamitumu vala kunani, ndi vadimaji vakajovesana vene kwa vene, “Tihambayi ku Betelehemu tikagalola geatijovili Bambu aga.”
16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger;
Vakayumbatika kuhamba kwenuko, vakamkolela Maliya na Yosefu na vamgonisi mng'enya muwatu wa kulisila mifuya.
17 and having seen [it] they made known about the country the thing which had been said to them concerning this child.
Vadimaji vala pavamuwene mwana yula, vakatumbula kujova goha gavayuwini kuhuma kwa Mtumu wa kunani kumvala mwana uyo.
18 And all who heard [it] wondered at the things said to them by the shepherds.
Voha vavayuwini gevajoviwi na vadimaji vala, vakakangasa.
19 But Mary kept all these things [in her mind], pondering [them] in her heart.
Ndi Maliya akagavika na kugahololela mambu goha mumtima waki.
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.
Vadimaji vala vakawuya, kuni vakumulumbalila Chapanga kwa goha gavayuwini na kugalola, goha ngati chagajoviwi mtumi wa kunani.
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.
Palapiti lijuma limonga, lukumbi lwa kumdumula mwana jandu lwaihiki, vakampela liina la Yesu, ndi liina la apewili na mtumu wa kunani kwakona nyina waki kuvya na ndumbu.
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
Payahikili ligono la Yosefu na Maliya kunyambiswa ngati chayaganikiwi na malagizu ga Chapanga geampelili Musa, ndi vampeliki mwana ku Yelusalemu ndava ya kumvika kwa Bambu.
23 (as it is written in the law of [the] Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
Ngati chaiyandikiwi mu Malagizu ga Musa, “Kila mwana mgosi mwaatumbwili kuvelekewa yati ikemelewa msopi na kubaguliwa ndava ya lihengu la Bambu.”
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.
Ndi vakahamba kuwusa luteta kwa Chapanga, ngunda zivili amala mawela gavili, ngati chayaganikiwi mu Malagizu ga Bambu.
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.
Lukumbi lwenulo ku Yelusalemu kula kwavi na mundu mmonga, liina laki Simioni, mwenuyo akitayi mambu ga kumganisa Chapanga na mwenuyo alindilayi kuhika lukumbi lwa vandu va Isilaeli kupumuliswa mitima. Na mpungu Msopi avi pamonga na mwene.
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.
Mpungu Msopi amgubukuli Simoni yati ifwa lepi changamlola Kilisitu msangula mweahaguliwi yula mweajoviwi na Bambu.
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,
Ndi Simoni alongwiswi na Mpungu msopi kuhamba mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, pamonga na dadi na nyina wa Yesu, pavampeliki mwana wavi Yesu ndava ya kukita ngati chayaganikiwi na mivelu ya malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa.
28 he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simoni akampokela mwana Yesu mu mawoko gaki, kuni akumsengusa Chapanga, akajova.
29 Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;
“Hinu, Mkulu, ukitili ngati chewakajovili, unilekayi, nene mvanda waku nihamba cha uteke.
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Kwa mihu gangu niuwene usangula waku,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
Ndi uhuletili usangula palongolo ya vandu va milima yoha ulolekayi.
32 a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.
Lwenulo ndi lumuli lwa kuvamanyisa vandu vangali kuvya Vayawudi, na ukulu kwa vandu vaku va ku Isilaeli.”
33 And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him.
Dadi na nyina wa Yesu vakakangasa ndava ya malovi gala gegajoviki kumuvala mwana yula.
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;
Ndi Simioni akavamotisa, akamjovela Maliya nyina waki Yesu, “Lola mwana uyu avelekiwi ndava ya vandu vamahele va Isilaeli kugwa kwa vandu vamahele na vangi vamahele kuyinuka, mwene yati ivya ulangisu wa kubelekana na vandu,
35 (and even a sword shall go through thine own soul; ) so that [the] thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.
muni maholo ga vandu va mahele galalolekana pawaka. Wamwene lipyanda ngati upanga, ukuhomili mtima waku.”
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,
Kwavili na mdala mmonga mgogolo neju, mlota wa Chapanga, liina laki Ana, msikana wa Fanueli wa likabila la Asheli. Paavi msikana agegiwi na kutama na mgwana waki miyaka saba ndu.
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;
Kangi asigalili lipwela mbaka muugogolo wa miyaka semanini na mcheche. Lukumbi lwoha awelai mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, ajihinisi kulya na kuyupa kilu na muhi.
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.
Mdala yula akahumila lukumbi lulalula na kutumbula kumsengusa Chapanga na kuvajovela vandu voha gakumuvala mwana yula, vevalindila kugombolewa na kulekekesewa kwa Yelusalemu.
39 And when they had completed all things according to the law of [the] Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.
Yosefu na Maliya pavamali kukita goha gegalagiziwi mu Malagizu ga Bambu, vawuyili kumuji wavi Nazaleti wewavi ku Galilaya.
40 And the child grew and waxed strong [in spirit], filled with wisdom, and God's grace was upon him.
Mwana yula akakula na kuvya na makakala, akamema luhala na umotisi wa Chapanga wavi pamonga na mwene.
41 And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Kila mwaka dadi na nyina waki Yesu vahambili ku Yelusalemu kumselebuko wa Vayawudi wewikemiwa pasaka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up [to Jerusalem] according to the custom of the feast
Yesu peahikisi miaka kumi na yivili, voha vakakwela kuhamba ku Yelusalemu, kumselebuko wa vayawudi wa pasaka ngati chayavi mivelu yavi.
43 and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not [of it];
Mselebuko pawamaliki, vakawuya, Yesu asigalili ku Yelusalemu changali dadi na nyina waki kumanya.
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:
Dadi na nyina vaki vaholalili avi pamonga mulugendu, vakagenda muhi woha, kangi vakatumbula kumulonda kwa valongo vaki na vankozi waki.
45 and not having found him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him.
Vamuweni lepi, vakawuya ku Yelusalemu vakumulonda.
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.
Ligono la datu la kumlonda, vakamkolela mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, atamii pagati ya vawula va malagizu, akuvayuwanila na kuvakota.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Voha vevamuyuwanila malovi gaki vakavya kumkangasa ndava ya luhala na kuyangula kwaki.
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.
Na pavamuweni vakakenyemuka, nyina waki akamkota “Wamwana vangu ndava kyani utikitili genaga? Dadi waku na nene ting'ahiki neju kukulonda.”
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?
Yesu akayangula, “Ndava kyani mukunilonda? Mumanyi lepi ngati yikunigana nene kuvya munyumba ya Dadi wangu?”
50 And they understood not the thing that he said to them.
Nambu dadi na nyina waki nakugamanya malovi gala geavajovili.
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.
Yesu akawuya pamonga nawu ku Nazaleti, akuvayuwanila. Nyina waki akayendelela kugaholalela mambu goha mumtima waki.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
Yesu akayonjokeseka kukula luhala na higa, akaganisiwa neju na Chapanga na vandu.
