< Luke 2 >
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
Enku zila endajizyo zyafumile hwa Kaisari Agusto ya je esimbwe eye matawa aga bhantu wonti mnsi.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Hii ilikuwa ene ebabhe ya hwande yehasimbwilwe epo Krenio nali liwali wa hushamu.
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Abhantu wonti bhabhalile ahwinsimbisizye shila muntu amwao.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David: )
UYusufu wape asogoye hu galilaya afume hushijiji sha hu Nazareti azubhile abhale huu Yudea hadi humji ugwa Daudi, gukwiziwa Bethelehemu, afwatanaje umwahale wahutayari namwao abhahwa Daudi.
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Ili asimbwe pandwemo no Mariamu, ushe wakwe bhapabhiliye wape ano lwanda.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Shabha katika akhale ohwo ensiku zyakwe ezya pape zya fishile.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Wapapa umwana wakwe uwahwande, wavwenesya amenda agubha na wagonia mwitori mwanzilela eng'ombe, afwanaje sebhapete enafsi munyumba ezya jenyi.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Na ensi yeyela, bhahali adimi bhakhalaga mwipoli na linde ikundi lwao bhatandilunaga nosiku.
9 And, see, the angel of the Lord came on them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
Umalaika wa GOSI abhafumiye, nanali uzelu wa GOSI wabhakhozizye epande zyonti, bhinjilwa nowoga ogosi.
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Umalaika abhabholele, “Mganje ahigope, afanaje ane embaletela enongwa enyinza eya she engosi yayayibho hwabantu wonti.
11 For to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
Eshe sanyono mnsi eya Daudi! apepwe kwa jili eyahulimwe uwataule wape yu Kristo GOSO!
12 And this shall be a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Na ene ndiyo ndago hwilimwe, mbhahu mwaje umwa umwela bhavwenesyezye amenda ageshiwela agonile mwitori mwelela eng'ombe.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Nantele bhahali pandwemo nayo omalaika abhinji ajeshi abhamwanya bhahutelela ONGOLOBHE, na ya je,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
“Ayemehwaje ONGOLOBHE amwanya, na pansi ehwe amani hwabhantu bhabhagalile.”
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
Shabha, omalaika ebho na bhasogola abhule hwabho amwanya bhala udimi bhabholene, “Eshe sali mpaka Bethlehemu, tilirole elwo lwali bhombeshe lyati bhonezyezye ONGOLOBHE.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
Bhabhalile nanali, bhamwanjile oMariamu no Yusufu, nola umwana umwela agonile mwitori.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
Na walipomwona bhafumizye enongwa yabhabholelwe afwatone nomwana oyo.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Wonti bhabhahovwezye bhaswijile hwago gabhobholelwe na dimi.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Lelo o Mariamu wazibhaha humwoyo gwakwe.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told to them.
Bhala adimi bhawelile ohu bhahusomba ONGOLOBHE na hutelile humombo gonti gabhovwezye na galale eshe shabhabholelwe.
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Hata nazyafishele ensiku nana ezya hutahiri ahetelwe tawa lwakwe Yesu, neshe nahetelwe no malaika sasele abhe lwanda.
22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
Alafu nazyafishele ensiku hwabho, neshe sheri endogo ya anusa bhabhalile nao mpaka Yerusalemu bhabheshele OGOSI.
23 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
Neshe nshesibwilwe mdogo ya GOSI, “Shila mwana ulume wali lwanda ulwahwanda hwanyinawakwe akwiziwaje Golosu wa GOSI.”
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
Bhafumye sadaka neshe sheyajile katika endogo eya GOSI, “Enko nda bhabhele au makind abhenjebha bhabhele.”
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was on him.
Enya, pala payerusalemu palinomntu itawa lyakwe akwiziwaga Simoni. Umuntu ono alihwelyoli na humpute ONGOLOBHE. Umwahole agolaga ya zizya wa Israeli, na upepo uzelu ali pamwana yakwe.
26 And it was revealed to him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Yali imalishe abhoneshewe hwakwe ahilile hupepo uzelu aje umwahale saga ehenzaga afwe bila hulole Kristi wa GOSI.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
Isikulimo ahenzele mhatimwibhaiza alongozehwe no pepo uzelu. ambapo ayise bhakwe bhaletile umwana oYesu hubhombele gala gagahanziwuga mkawaida eye ndogo,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Eshi o Simioni aposheye mmakhono gakwe na hulimbe ONGOLOBHE na yanje,
29 Lord, now let you your servant depart in peace, according to your word:
“Eshi nduhusu nemtumwa waho embale mshinza alengane nizu lyaho.
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
Afwatanaje amaso gane gahalile uwaule waho,
31 Which you have prepared before the face of all people;
Afwanaje uonesha humaso gabhantu bhonti.
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.
Umwahale rukhozyo mataifa na bhe zelu wabhantu bhakwe Israeli.”
33 And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him.
UYise nonyine wakwe bhali bhaswiga ego gagayangwilwe juu yakwe.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
OSimoni wabhasaila abhabhola Mariamu unyina wakwe, “Eye ono abhehwelwe wagwe na bhoshe abhinji bhabali kati Israeli na bhe mbonesyo zyazya yiyangwa.
35 (Yes, a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Nawe hwehwe imaje lwaijila humwoyo gwaho ilizibhoneshe esebho ezya moyo aga bhinji.”
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
Ahali ukuwa ushe itawa lyakwe Ana uledu wa Fanueli wa shikholo sha Asheri. Nu umri wakwe alina maha minji. Akheye nolume amaha saba baada eyelendu wakwe,
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
Wape fwele owemaha amarongo nane na mahaganne. Sasogolo mwibhanza ila aputa usiku no sanya na funje na labhe.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
Oyo afumele sala yeyo asalifizye ONGOLOBHE. Na wonti bhali bhahwenyelezya eshahwaulwe katika Yerusalemu abhafumizyo enongwa zyakwe.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Basi nabhamala gonti gagalajiziwe aga mndongozi eya GOSi, bhahwelile hu Galilaya, mpaka iboma lwao, Nazareti.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was on him.
Ola umwana wakula, na hwonjele amahaa amemile enshinshi, na neema ya NGOLOBHE yali juu yakwe.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Basi ayise bhakwe bhabhala hu Yerusalemu shila mwaha uwakati uweshikurukuru ya Pasaka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
Na fishiye umri wakwe amaha kumi na gabhle bhazubhile neshe sheli emila eye shikurukuru.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
Nabhamalila ensiku wakati uwahwele hwabhoola umwana uYesu asageye hwisaro ohwo hu Yerusalemu na bhayise bhakwe sebhalolene.
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
Bhape bhamenyeje bhalipandwemo mshora, bhabhalile enjendo uwisiku lyonti bhanda humwanza mwa mwabho.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
Nu sebhamwanga bhahwelile hu Yerusalemu ohu bhahumwanza.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
Yabha na zyafiha ensiku zitatu, bhalola mwibhinza, akheye pahati ya manyizi, abhatejelezya nabhabhozye amaswali.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Wape wonti bhabhamwovwaga bhanswijile uwelewa wakwe na amajibu gakwe.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Son, why have you thus dealt with us? behold, your father and I have sought you sorrowing.
Na bhalolile, bhanswijile. Nonyina wakwe wabhola, “Mwana wane, mbone otibhombeye eshi? enye, uyise waho nane talili humwanza uzugumie”
49 And he said to them, How is it that you sought me? knew you not that I must be about my Father’s business?
Wabhabhola, “Yenu mnanza sagamwamenye aje ehwanziwa akhale munyumba eya yise wane?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spoke to them.
Unape sebhalyelewe izu elyo lyabha bhozezye.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Hwiho pandwemo nabho mpaka hu Nazareti wape ali abeshimu, onyina agabheshele ego gonti humwoyo gwakwe.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
Wape uYesu wazidi ahwonjelele katika hekima kimo, wapendezya ONGOLOBHE na bhantu.
