Luke 2
1 And it came to passe in those dayes, that there came a decree from Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed.
Pwu ifigono ifyo, yikhahumila ukhuta Ukaisari Agusto akhahumya ululagilo lwa alikuvavula ukhuta yitowwe mbalilo ya vanu voni avitama nkilunga.
2 (This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was gouernour of Syria.)
Iyi yale mbalilo ya kwanda vyuyavombiwe imisikhi gya kvenio vu imbaha va Siria.
3 Therefore went all to be taxed, euery man to his owne Citie.
Pwu kila munu uviavinchaga akhaluta khukhilunga kya mwene kusimba mbalilo.
4 And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid, )
Nu Yusufu akhaga novope mkhilungwe kya Nasaleti ya Mgalilaya pwu ali khugenda mkhilunga kya mbetelehemu, kya manyikhikhe ukhuta khilunga kya Ndaveti, ulwakhuva ahumile mu khikholo kya Ndaveli.
5 To bee taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife, which was with childe.
Akhalufa ukhwa khukhisimba paninie nu Maliya, uvi uyu ali ng'ija va mwene khange alikhwihuvila umwana.
6 And so it was, that while they were there, the daies were accomplished that shee shoulde be deliuered,
Pwu yikhahumila ukhuta, vuvalyukhu unsikhi gwa mwene gwa khuhola umwana gukhe fikhe.
7 And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne.
Akhifungula umwana undemi, ung'oliwa va mwene uva khwanja, akhamfwalincha imienda yilekha ukhwingila imepu umwana pwa akhambikha mlitenchi ilya khulela ifikonu, ulwakhuva yikhasikuli inyumba ya vugenji.
8 And there were in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke.
Pwu apene apo, valepo avademi vali khutama khufyalo valikudema ifipuga fya Ng'osi ncha vene pakhilo.
9 And loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide.
Gafla, usungwa va Nkuludeva akhavahumila, nu lumuli lwa Nkuludeva lukhamulikha ukhuvanchungula, pwu vakhava nu vudwanchi fincho.
10 Then the Angel saide vnto them, Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to all the people,
Pwu usung'wa akhavavula, mlekhe ukhudwada, ulwakhuva ni khuvagegela inongwa imonu iyuyigega uluhekhelo uluvaha khivanu voni.
11 That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord.
Ilelo umpokhi aholiwe khuliumwe mkhilunga kya Daveli! Umwene vi Nkristi Unkuludeva!
12 And this shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch.
Ikhi khyu khimanyilo ni khuvapa, mkumbona umwana apinyiwe imyanda igona mkhitanchi kya khulisihincha ifikanu.”
13 And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praising God, and saying,
Gafla khkha na avasikhali vingi ilya khukhyanya likhalungana nane usung'wa uywa valikunginia Unguluve, valinkuta, “Uvuvalanche vwa Unguluve uvyahikhu khyanya fincho nu hinonchehencho luve Nkilunga kuvoni uvu onongwa.”
14 Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will.
15 And it came to passe whe the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, that the shepheards sayde one to another, Let vs goe then vnto Beth-leem, and see this thing that is come to passe which the Lord hath shewed vnto vs.
Pwu yikheva Avasungwa avile vahegile ukhuluta khukhyanya, avademi vakhincho fanji vako, “Tuvukhe lino kwu Betelehemu, tu khalole ikhinu ikhi ikhihumile, ambacho Bwana ametufahamisha.”
16 So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.
Vagaha khimbivi mbivi ukhu vakhembona Umaliya nu Yusufu, pwu vakha mbona nu mwana igona mu khetenchi kya fiko.
17 And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe.
Vavila valolile evwo vakhavavula avanu ikyu vavuliwe khu mwana.
18 And all that heard it, wondred at ye things which were tolde them of the shepheards.
Voni avapulike inongwa iyi valikudega ikhichovivwe ni vademi.
19 But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred them in her heart.
Pwu Umaliya alikupisaga khugoni ugwo apulikhe, akhagavikha munumbula ya mwene.
20 And the shepheardes returned glorifiyng and praising God, for all that they had heard and seene as it was spoken vnto them.
Avademi vakhavuya nu khuginia Unguluve kwu fyoni ifyu vapulikhe nu khulola, nduvu vwu lilikhuchovivwa khuvone.
21 And when the eight daies were accomplished, that they shoulde circumcise the childe, his name was then called Iesus, which was named of the Angell, before he was conceiued in the wombe.
Kyavilekhefikhe ikhigono ikya nene gwale gunsikhi gwa ukhukeketa umwana, vakhamwilanga ilitavwa lya mwene vi Yisu, ilitavwa ilyu ampile unsung'wa vusahifikhe uvuchitu mwitumbu.
22 And when the daies of her purification after the Lawe of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lord,
Inchavene inchilikulunchiwa uvuvalanche vu chilutile, ukhukongana ni ndagilo cha Mose, u Yusufu nu Maliya vukhangilikha khutembile khukhumbikha khuvulongolo kwa Nkuludeva.
23 (As it is written in the Lawe of the Lord, Euery man childe that first openeth ye wombe, shalbe called holy to the Lord)
Nduvu yisimbiwe mndagilo cha nuludeva, “Khila ngosi uvi idindula ilitumbu ikhwilangiwa uvinchumichiwe nekhelo kwu kuludeva.”
24 And to giue an oblation, as it is commanded in the Lawe of the Lord, a paire of turtle doues, or two yong pigeons.
Na vope valikhwicha kwihumya inekhelo ukhukongana ni kyu khicho vivwa mu ndagila vha Nkuludeva, “Injiva au ifyana fya Njiva.”
25 And behold, there was a man in Hierusalem, whose name was Simeon: this man was iust, and feared God, and waited for the consolation of Israel, and the holy Ghost was vpon him.
Lola, pale nu munu mu Yelusalemu ailangivwaga vi Simeoni, umunu uyu ali nu wayilweli munu va Nguluve. Umwene alikupu likhila uvakuchesya mu Israeli, nu mepo umbalawe ale khumwene.
26 And it was declared to him from God by the holy Ghost, that he shoulde not see death, before he had seene that Anointed of the Lord.
Yikhadenduliwe khumwene ukhugendela kwa mepo umbalache ukhuta umwene sakhale ifwa vwu sambwene Ukristi va Nkuludeva.
27 And he came by the motion of the spirit into the Temple, and when the parents brought in the babe Iesus, to do for him after the custome of the Lawe,
Ikhigono ikhinge akhicha mgati mtembile, akhalongochiwa nu mepu umbalache upwu avahonchi vakhandata umwana, Yesu, ukhumbombela gala aginogiwa ukhukongana ni ndagilo,
28 Then hee tooke him in his armes, and praised God, and sayd,
pwu Simoni akhamwupilila mmavoko ga mwene, akhaginia Unguluve nu khuta,
29 Lord, nowe lettest thou thy seruaunt depart in peace, according to thy woorde,
“Lino ing'eche umbonbi vakho alutage nu lunochehecho lwa Ntwa, ukhuvongano ni limenyu lyako.
30 For mine eyes haue seene thy saluation,
Ukhwakhuva miho gango gavuwene uvupokhi vwakho,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,
uvwo vuvonikhe pamiho gavanu voni.
32 A light to be reueiled to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Umwene ve humhli kuluvonekhelo khufihunga nu vuvalache vwa vane va Israeli.”
33 And Ioseph and his mother marueiled at those things, which were spoken touching him.
Udada ni mama va mwana vulikudeva imbombo ichilikhuchovi vwa kwu mwene.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and saide vnto Mary his mother, Beholde, this childe is appointed for the fall and rising againe of many in Israel, and for a signe which shalbe spoken against,
Pwu Usimoni akhavasaya akhatakhwa Maliya umamaye, “Pulihicha vunonu umwana uyu yiva nongwa ya khuyancha nu khupokha kwu vanu vingi mu OIsraeli khange khimanyilo ikhyu ikhi avanu vingi ya vi becha. Khange panga iyu yikave yi nyanya inyivonelo chakho yuve, yive amasago ga numbula ya vingi yivonesye.”
35 (Yea and a sworde shall pearce through thy soule) that the thoughts of many heartes may be opened.
36 And there was a Prophetesse, one Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser, which was of a great age, after she had liued with an husband seuen yeeres from her virginitie:
Unyamalago udala uvialikwilanyiwa Ana nevopo alemwo mtembile. Umwene ale mwana va Fanueli ukhuhuma mkhivumbu kho kya asheri. Ale ni figono fingi ficho. Navope alikhutama nu gosi va mwene imiaka saba vuvatoline,
37 And she was widowe about foure score and foure yeeres, and went not out of the Temple, but serued God with fastings and prayers, night and day.
pwu akha ijane imiakha themanini na minne. Navope sagala ahage mtembile alikhugendelela ukhudova Unguluve nu khudova, pakhilo na pamusi.
38 She then coming at the same instant vpon them, confessed likewise the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Hierusalem.
Khunsikhu ug'wa akhicha pala upwu valipwo akhatengula ukhundimya Unguluve. Alikhuchova inongwa cha mwana kwu munu nu munu uviavechaga uvialikhugulila uvupokhi vwa Yerusalemu.
39 And when they had performed all thinges according to the lawe of the Lord, they returned into Galile to their owne citie Nazareth.
Vuvamalile kila khila khinu ikhyu khinogiwa ukhuvomba ukhukongana ni ndagilo cha Nkuludeva, vakhakhivokha kwu Galilaya, kwu khilunga kya vene, Nazareti.
40 And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in Spirit, and was filled with wisedome, and the grace of God was with him.
Umwana akhekula, akhava na makha, alikhukula nu luhala, nu luhunga lwa Nguluve lukhava khumwene.
41 Nowe his parents went to Hierusalem euery yeere, at the feast of the Passeouer.
Avahochi va mwene gunafike umwakha valikhula khu Yerusalemu kwu sikhukhuu ya Pasaka.
42 And when hee was twelue yeere olde, and they were come vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast,
Avile iva ni miakha kumiho miwili, vakhaluta khange khu nsikhi gwa nyiho kwu sikhukhuu.
43 And had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother,
Vu vasigile isikhu choni kwu sikhukhuu, vakhatengula ukhuvuya khumiavo, pwu udemi u Yisu akha sigala khusana Myerusalemu khange avahochi savakhalumanya.
44 But they supposing, that he had bene in the company, went a dayes iourney, and sought him among their kinsfolke, and acquaintance.
Valikhuta pwale alimlipuga ilivali kugendania, pwu vakhagenda ficho ulugendo lwa sikhu. Pwu vakhatengula ukhuhunela muvalukhulo lwavo, mvamanyani.
45 And when they found him not, they turned backe to Hierusalem, and sought him.
Vavile valemwile ukhumbona, vakhaki lwukha kwu Yerusalemu pwu vakhatengula ukhundanda umwa.
46 And it came to passe three dayes after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the mids of the doctours, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
Yikhahumila ukhuta vuchifikhe iskhu itetu, vakhambona Mtembile, achige atamila pagati pa vamanyisi, ikhuvapulihiche nu kuvavucha.
47 And all that heard him, were astonied at his vnderstanding and answeres.
Voni uvuva mpulihiche valikhudega nu luhala lwa mwene ni nyandilo che mwene.
48 So when they sawe him, they were amased, and his mother said vnto him, Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee with very heauie hearts.
Vuvile vumbwene, valikudega. Uvanina akhambula, “Manango, khekhiutuvombile evwo? Pulihicha udada vakha nayune tulikhukhulonda nu vudwachi vuvaha.”
49 Then said he vnto them, Howe is it that ye sought me? knewe ye not that I must goe about my Fathers busines?
Akhavanda, “Khekhi mlikhondonda? Samukhalumanye ukhuta une nive kwu nyumba ya Dada vango?
50 But they vnderstoode not the word that he spake to them.
Pope savakhalumanya inogwa ukhuta khekhi mmanyu aga.
51 Then hee went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Pu akhahega paninie na vene, ukhu fikha khumyavoyo kwu Nazareti khange ale mwidihichi khuvene. Uvanina akhavikha aga munumbula ya mwene.
52 And Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.
Pwu Yisu alikhula nu luhala na kutoga, nu khuganiwa nu Nguluve na vanu.
