Luke 2
1 And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole world should be enrolled.
E ndalogo, Kaisar Agusto nogolo chik mondo okwan ji e piny Rumi duto.
2 This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria.
(Ma ne en kweno mokwongo mane otimore ka Kwirinio ne en ruodh Siria.)
3 And all went to be enrolled, every one into 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 of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, 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 enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
Nodhi kuno mondo okwane kod Maria, mane osingore mondo okendi, kendo nogeno yudo nyathi.
6 And it came to pass, that when they were there, her days were accomplished, that she should be delivered.
Kane gin kuno, kinde mar nywolo nyathi nochopo,
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a 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 in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches over their flock.
To ne nitie jokwadh rombe manodak oko e lek machiegni kanyo, ka girito jambgi gotieno.
9 And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them; and they feared with a 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 bring you good tidings of great joy, that 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, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
Kawuononi e dala mar Daudi, osenywolnu Jawar; en Kristo Ruoth.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid 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 army, 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 to men of good will.
“Duongʼ obed ni Nyasaye e polo malo kendo kwe obed e piny ne ji ma Nyasaye oyiero.”
15 And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed 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 they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
Kuom mano negidhiyo mapiyo kendo negiyudo Maria gi Josef kod nyathi konindo e sanduku mar chiemb dhok.
17 And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.
Kane gisenene, negilando wach mar gima ne owachnegi kuom nyathini,
18 And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.
Kendo ji duto manowinjo wachni, nowuoro gima jokwath nowachonegi.
19 But Mary kept all these words, 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 the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Jokwath nodok, ka gipako Nyasaye kendo miyo Nyasaye duongʼ kuom gik moko duto mane gisewinjo kendo neno, mana kaka nosenyisgi.
21 And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel, before he was 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 after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried 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 opening 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 as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, 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 named Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Ghost was in 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 he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
Roho Maler nofwenyone ni ok obi tho kapok oneno Kristo ma Ruoth Nyasaye biro oro.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to 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 also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:
Simeon nokawe moriwe e bade kendo nopako Nyasaye, kowacho niya,
29 Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;
“Ruoth Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, kaka ne isesingo, koro we jatichni odhi gi kwe.
30 Because my 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 to the 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 were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him.
Wuon gi min nyathi nowuoro wach mane owach kuome.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted;
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 thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.
Kuom mano paro mag chunje mangʼeny ibiro fwenyo. To ligangla biro chwoyo chunyi in iwuon bende.”
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; she was far advanced in years, and had 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 she was a widow until fourscore and four years; who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.
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 Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord; and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.
Kane obiro irgi e kindeno, nogoyo erokamano ni Nyasaye kendo nowuoyo kuom nyathi ni ji duto mane ogeno kuom resruok mar Jerusalem.
39 And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their 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, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him.
To nyathino nodongo kendo nobedo motegno; nopongʼ kod rieko, kendo ngʼwono mar Nyasaye ne ni kuome.
41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch,
Higa ka higa jonywolne ne dhiyo Jerusalem e Sawo mar Pasaka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
Kane en ja-higni apar gariyo, negidhiyo e Sawono kaluwore kod timgi.
43 And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not.
Bangʼ ka sawono norumo, ka jonywolne nedok dala, wuowi Yesu nodongʼ chien Jerusalem, to ne ok gingʼeyo mani.
44 And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day’s journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.
Ka giparo ni ne en ei oganda margi, negiwuotho moromo ndalo achiel eka negichako manye e dier wedegi kod osiepe.
45 And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.
Kane ok giyude, negidok Jerusalem mondo gimanye.
46 And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, 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 that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.
Ngʼato ka ngʼato manowinje nowuoro ngʼeyone kod dwokoge.
48 And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
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: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father’s business?
Nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ne umanya? Ok ungʼeyo ni onego abed e od wuora?”
50 And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.
To ne ok gingʼeyo gima ne owachonegi.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words 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 age, and grace with God and men.
To Yesu nomedo dongo kobedo gi rieko kendo e ringruok, ka en gi ngʼwono gi Nyasaye kod ji.
