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.
lino mu fighono ifyo, jilyahumile kuuti, uKaisali Agusito akahumisie ululaghilo kuuti, vatole uluvalilo lwa vaanhu vooni vanovikukala mu iisi.
2 The census itself first took place when Cyrenius had the government of Syria.
ulu lulyale lwe luvalilo lwa kwanda luno lulyavombike unsiki ghuno uKileoli alyale m'baha gha Silia.
3 And all went to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his own city:
neke umuunhu ghweni akaluta kumpulo ghake kukulembekesia uluvalulo.
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,
ghwope uYosefu alyavukile mu mpulo ghwa Nasaleti ukuo ku Galilaya na kukyulalila ku Yudea ku mpulo ghwa Betelemu, ghuno ghukagulika hwene mpulo ghwa Davidi, ulwakuva jikahumile mu lukolo lwa Davidi.
5 to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him [as his] wife, she being great with child.
akaluta kula na kujilembekesia nu Maliya, juno alyale antuunile kange alyale ihuvila umwana.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days of her giving birth [to her child] were fulfilled,
lino jilyahumile kuuti, ye valyale kula unsiki ughwa kuhola ghukafika.
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.
akahola umwana un'dimi, umuholua ghwake ughwa kwanda, akamun'yengelela umwana namenda neke kunsigha ni mhepo. pe akam'bika mikivagha kya kulisikisia ifidimua, ulwakuva napwelukale ulubale lwa kum'bika mu numba ja vaghesi.
8 And there were shepherds in that country abiding without, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
ku lubale uluo kwevalyale avalongosi vano valyale vikukala mu maghunda kulolelela amapugha gha ng'olo ave pakilo.
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.
kukenyemukila unyaMhola va Mutwa akavahumila nu vwimike va Mutwa vulyang'alile kuvasyungutila, pe valyale nu vwoghofi kyongo.
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;
pepano unyaMhola akavavula, “namungoghopaghe, ulwakuva nikuvapela iMhola inofu isa lukelo uluvahaku vaanhu vooni.
11 for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David's city, who is Christ [the] Lord.
umusyughu umpoki ghwinu aholilue vwimila jinu mu mpulo gha Davidi! umwene ghwe Kilisite Mutwa!
12 And this is the sign to you: ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and lying in a manger.
iki kye kivalilo kino mupelua, mukumwagha umwana vampinyile umwenda aghonile mu luvagha lwa kulisikisia ifidimua.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
kukenyemukila kukava ni lipugha livaha lwa va sikali kuhuma kukyanya likalungine nunyaMhola ujuo kukumughinia uNguluve vakatisagha,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good pleasure in men.
“uvutwa vwa nguluve juno ali kukyanya fiijo nu lutengano luve mu iisi ku vaanhu voni vano anoghilue navo.”
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.
lulyale kuuti avanyaMhola ye vavukile na luluta kukyanya, avalongosi vakajofesania vavuo ku vavuo, “tuvuke lino ku Betelemu kula tukalole kiki kino kihumile, kino uMutwa atumanyisie'.
16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger;
vakaluta ng'hani ng'hani kula, neke vakamwagha uMaliya nu Yosefu, kange vakamwagha umwana aghonile mu luvagha lwa kulisikisia ifidimua.
17 and having seen [it] they made known about the country the thing which had been said to them concerning this child.
ye vavwene ndiki, vakavamanyisia avaanhu vala vano vakavulilue imhola sa mwana ghwa muunhu
18 And all who heard [it] wondered at the things said to them by the shepherds.
voni vakadegha ye vapulike imhola isi ni kila kuno kikajovilue vadalikili.
19 But Mary kept all these things [in her mind], pondering [them] in her heart.
neke uMaliya akaghendelela kusagha soni sino alyapulike, akaghavika mu mwoojo ghwake.
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.
avadalikili vakagomoka na kumwimika na kumpaala uNguluve wimila umuunhu ghweni kukino valyapulike na kukukyagha, ndavule jilyajovilue kuveene.
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.
kyati kifikile ikighono kya lekela kwoni ghulyale ghwe nsiki ghwa kun'dumula umwana, vakankemela ilitavua ghwe Yesu; ilitavua lino alyapelilue nu nyaMhola jula ye na vuvukunue vukyale kutungwa mu lileme.
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
kuling'ana ni ndaghilo ja Moose, uYosefu nu Maliya akantwala kunyumba inyimike ja kufunyila ku Yelusalemu na kum'bika pavulongolo pa Mutwa.
23 (as it is written in the law of [the] Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
ndavule jilyalembilue mu ndaghilo ja Mutwa. “umukinhaata ghweni juno idindula ilileme ilikemelua juno avusikisivue uvuvaha kwa Mutwa”.
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.
vope vulevule vakisile kuhumia ilitekelo kuling'hana na kila kinokijovua ku ndaghilo ja Mutwa,” vahumyaghe injiva ivili nambe inyaana ivili isa ng'unda”.
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.
lola, palyaale nu muunhu ku Yelusalemu juno ilitavua lyake ikemelua ghwe Simoni. umuunhu uju alyale nya kyang'haani na kumwitika uNguluve. umwene alyale idalikila vwimila umuhuvilua ghwa Isilaeli, nu uMhepo uMwimike alyale nkyanya ja 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.
jilyavonike kwa mwene kukilila uMhepo uMwimike kuuti umwene naale ifua ye akyale kumwagha uKilisite ghwa Mutwa.
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,
ikighono kimonga akingile mu nyumba inyimike ja H, akalongosivue nu Mhepo umwimike. pano avapafi vakamuletile umwana, uYesu ikum'bombela sino simunoghile jaatu mu ndaghilo,
28 he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
pepano uSimoni akamwupila mu mavoko ghake na kumpaala uNguluve na kuuti,
29 Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;
“lino nikum'bula untemi ghwako alute nu lutengano lwa Mutwa, kuling'hana ni lisio lyako.
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
ulwakuva amaaso ghango ghavuvwene uvupoki vwako,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
vuno vuvonike ku vaanhu voni.
32 a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.
umwene ghwe lumuli vwimila uvusyetulilo vwa iisi nu vwimike vwa vaanhu va Isilaeli.
33 And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him.
ubaba nu mama va mwana vakadegha ku sino sijovua kwa mwana ghwa vanave.
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;
pepano uSimoni akavafunyila na akati kwa Maliya ung'ina ghwa mwene, “pulikisia vonono! umwana uju iiva vufumbue kwa kusova nambe kukwitika ku vaanhu vinga va ku Isilaeli kane ke kivalilo kino avaanhu vinga vilikujikana.
35 (and even a sword shall go through thine own soul; ) so that [the] thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.
kange lwe lubamba lunolulinyanya umwoojo ghako juve, neke kuuti amasaghe gha moojo gha vinga ghavoneke”
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,
un'dala um'bili juno akemeluagha Ana kwealyale kunyumba inyimike ja kufunyila. umwene alyale mwalive gha Fanueli kuhuma kulukolo lwa Asheli. alyale na maka minga kyongo. akikala nu mughosi ghwake ku maka lekela lubale ye vatoline,
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;
pepano akava mfwile ku maka fijigho lekela kwaoni na ghaane. nakaghelile kuvuka mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila alyale ighendelela kudinda na kunsuuma uNguluve pakilo na pamwisi.
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.
nu nsiki ughuo, akisa pala panovalyale akatengula kumuhongesia uNguluve. akajova isa vaanha vooni vano vaghulagha uvupoki vwa 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.
ye vamalile avaanhu voni vakanoghile kuvomba kuling'ana ni ndaghilo ja Mutwa, vakagomoka ku Galilaya umpulo ghwave, Nasaleti.
40 And the child grew and waxed strong [in spirit], filled with wisdom, and God's grace was upon him.
umwana akakula, akava ni ngufu akongelela mu vukoola, nu vumosi vwa Nguluve vulyale pa kyanya jake.
41 And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
avapafi vake amaka ghoni vakalutagha ku Yelusalemu vwimila ikikulukulu kya Pasaka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up [to Jerusalem] according to the custom of the feast
ya ale na maka kijigho na ghavili, kange vakisile mu nsiki ghuno ghunoghile ndavule uvutavike vwa kikulukulu.
43 and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not [of it];
ye vajighe ifighono fyoni vwimila ikikulukulu vakatengula kugomoka kunyumba. neke un'dimi u Yesu akajighe kunsana ku Yelusalemu kisila avapafi vake kukagula ili.
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:
vakasaghile kuuti valilumo mulipugha lya vano vakyulagha lumo, pe vakakyula ulukyusi lwa kighino pepano vakatengula kukumulonda mu vanyalukolo na vamanyani vave.
45 and not having found him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him.
ye vakunilue kumwagha, vakagomoka kuYelusalemu na kutengula kumulonda umuo.
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.
jilyahumile kuuti mu fighono fitatu valamwagha mu nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila, akkali pakate pa vavulanisi akavapulikisia na kukuvaposia.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
voni vano vale vikumpulikisia vakadegha ku vukagusi vwake nu lwamulo lwake.
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.
vati vamwaghile, vakadegha ung'iina akam'bula, “mwanago kiki utuvombile ndiki? pulikisia une nu baba ghwako tulya tukulonda ku vwoghofi uvukome”.
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?
akavaposia, “kiki mulyale mukunilonda? namukakagwile kuuti lunoghile kulyune kuva mu nyumba ja baba ghwango?
50 And they understood not the thing that he said to them.
neke navakakagwile uluvumbulilo lwa masio aghuo.
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.
pepano akaluta palikimo na veene kukaja ku Nasaleti, kange alyale mwitiki kuveene. ung'iina alyavikile sooni mu mwoojo ghwake.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
neke uYesu alyaghendelile kukula mu vukoola ni vugoyo nakughina kuva mughanike kwa Nguluve na vaanhu.
