Luke 2
1 AND it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
nambeambe katika lichoba liyo, yatibonekana kwamba kaisari Agusto apiite agizo kumuelekeza kwamba itolekwe sensa ya bandubaatama mulunia.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Yeno yabile ni sensa ya kwanza yaipangilwe muda Krenio abile gavana wa Siria.
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
nyoo kila yumo atiyenda mjini kwayenda yakuandikisha sensa.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David: )
Niywembe Yusufu atiboka kae katika mji wa Nazaleti kwa Galilaya na atisafiri Yudea kwa mji wa Bethlehemu, utangilikwa kati mji wa Daudi, kwa sababu atepitiya lukoloo lwa Daudi.
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Atiyenda kwa kujiandikicha pamope na Mariamu, ywembe abile kobeka na abile pekaniliya mwana.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Nambeyambe atikuipya kwamba, pabile kolo muda wake wa papa mwana utimile.
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.
Apapite mwana nnalome, mmbeleko wake wa kwanza, atikumbilingia ngobo muyega atikumlendelana mbepo mwana. Boka po atikumbeka kwenye liholilyalelya inyama, kwasababu yabile ntopo nafasi kwenye nyumba ya wageni.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Katika eneo lelo, babile bachungaji mmigunda batilendanga kipenga sa ngondolo wabe kilo.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
Ghafla, malaika wa Ngwana atibonekana, na utukufu wa Ngwana uting'ara kubatindiya, ni babile na hofu muno.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Ndipo malaika atikuwabakia “Lana muyogope”kwa sababu natikubaletya habari njema ambayo ipala kululetya puraha ngolo kwa bandu boti.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Leno mwokozi atibelekwa kwaajili yinu mjini mwa Daudi! ywembe nga Kristu Ngwana!
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Yeno nga ishara ambayo tupeilwe, mpala kumkolia mwana atitabilwa ngobo ni atigonja ku'liholi lya lelilya inyama.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Ghafla kwabile na jeshi likolo lya kumaundebatiungana na malaika hago batikumsifu Nnongo, batibaya, “
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Utukufu kwa Nnongo ywa abile kunani muno, ni amani ibi mukilambo kwa boti bapendezwa nae.”
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 unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
Yabile kwamba malaika payomwike boka yenda kumaunde, bachungaji batibakiana bene kwa bene, “tuyende na mbeyambe kolo Bethlehemu, na tukannole cheno kilebe ambacho kitibonekana, ambacho Ngwana atitubakia.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
Batiyombeteka kolo, na batikunkoliya Mariamu na Yusufu, bamweni mwana atigonja ku'holi la, lelya inyama.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
Na bapamweni nyoo, batekuwabakiya bandu celo chabakibweni batibakilwa chakimhusu mwana.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Boti babayowine habari yeno batishangara na chelo chabalongei na bachungaji.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Lakini Mariamu atiyendelea fikiri husu gooti yayomwike kuyapekaniya, atikuyatunza mwoyoni mwake.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Bachungaji babuyangite batikumtukuza na kumsifu Nnongo kwaajili ya kila kilebe chabakipekani na kukibona, kama tu yaibile inenwa kwabe.
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.
Payeikite lichiba lya nane na yabile ni muda wa ina mwana, batikumkema lina Yesu, lina lapeilwe na yolo malaika kabla ya kundumbo inatunga kwaa ndumbo.
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;
Mazao yagapalikwa ya utakaso zapitike, lingana na sakiya ya Musa, Yusufu na Mariamu bampotwike kulihekalu kolyo Yerusalemu kum'beka nnonge ya Ngwana.
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
Kati yaiandikilwe katika saliya ya Ngwana, “kila nnalome yayogowa ndumbo ndumbo apala kemelwa ywapiitwe wakfu kwa Ngwana.”
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.
Balo nyanyanya baichile piya sadaka lengana na chelo chakibailwe katika saliya ya Ngwana, “Jozi ya ngunda ama mabunda mabele ya ngunda.”
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 upon him.
Linga, pabile na mundu katika Yerusalem ambaye lina lyake abile akemelwa Simeoni. mundu ywa abi na haki na mcha Nnongo. Ywembe abile atilenda kwaajili ya mfariji wa Israel, na Roho mpeletau abi kunani yake.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Yabile iyomwike tunuliwa kwa ywembe ywa Roho mpeletau kwomba ywembe apala waa kaa kabya ya kum'mona Kristob wa Ngwana.
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,
lichoba limo aichile nkati ya hekalu, ationgozwa na Roho mpeletau, ambapo azazi batikunleta mwana, Yesu, kumpangia galo yapalikwe kawaida ya saliya.
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
ndipo Simeoni atipokiya kwaluboko lwake, na atikumsifu Nnongo nabaya,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
“Nambeyambe ruhusa mtumishi wako ayende kwa amani Ngwana, lengana na Neno lyako.
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Kwa kuwa minyo gango yabwe ni wokovu wako,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
ambao utibonekana kwa minyo ya bandu boti.
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Ywembe ni nuru kwaajili ya ufunuo kwa bamataifa na utukufu wa bandu baisraeli.”
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
Tate na mao ba mwana batishangala kwa makowe ambayo atilongela kunani yake.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto 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;
Ndipo Simeoni atikuwabariki na baya kwa Mariamu mao bake, “pekaniya kwa makini! mwana yo atakuwa sababu ya obiya na okoka kwa bandu benge katika Israel na ni ishara ambayo bandu benge bataikana.
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Pia ni upanga wapala kuchoma nafsi yako na mwene, ili kwamba mawaso ya mioyo ya benge yatangike.”
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;
Nabii nnwawa akemelwa Ana pia abile mulihekalu. ywembe abile nwawa wa Fanueli boka likabila lya Asheri. Abii na miaka yanambone muno. Naye atitama na nchengowe kwa miaka saba baada ya kobekwa.
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.
Na ndipo abii mjane kwa miaka themanini na ncheche. Naye abile kwaa boka muhekalu na abile atiyendelea kumuabudu Nnongo pamope na taba roba, kilo na mutwekati.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
Na kwa muda woo, aichile palo pabile natumbwa shukuru Nnongo, nalongela husu mwana kwa kila mundu ambaye abile akilenda ukombozi wa Yerusalemu.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Pabayomwile kila kile chawapalike panga lingana na saliya ya Ngwana, batibuya Galilaya, mjini kwabe, Nazareti.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Mwana atikola, na abii na ngupu, atiyongezeka katika hekima, na neema ya Nnongo yabile kunani yake.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Wazazi bake kila mwaka batiyenda Yerusalem kwaajili ya sikukuu ya Pasaka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
Pabile na umri wa miaka komi na ibele, batiyenda kae muda mwafaka kidesturi kwaajili ya sikukuu.
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.
Baada ya bakia machoba goti kwaajili ya sikukuu, batumbwile buyangana kunyumba. lakini nnalome Yesu atiigala nnchogo mwolo Yerusalem na wazazi bake batangite kwaa.
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.
Batangite kwamba abile mu'kipenga cha babile nabo musafari, batibutuka safari ya lichoba limo, ndipo batumbwile kumpala miongoni mwa anunange na marafiki wabe.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
Pabashindwile kumpala, batibuya Yerusalem na tumbwa kumpala.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
Itibonekana kwamba baada ya lichoba lya itatu, batikumpata hekaluni, abi atitama katikati ya baalimu, akibapekania na kuwalokiya maswali.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Boti bayowine batishangala na ufahamu wake na majibu gake.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
Pmweni, batishangala, mao bake atikumkumbatia, mwanango, namani cha ututendeite nyaa? Pekani, tate boka na nee tutikupala kwa wasiwasi nkolo.”
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
Atikuwabakia,'kitumbwe namani kunipala? mwatangite kwaa kwamba lazima nibii ku'nnyumba ya Tate bangu?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
Lakini baelewite kwaa namani chamaanisha kwa maneno galo.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Ndipo ayeii pamope nao mpaka kaya Nazareti na abile mtii kwabe. Mao bake abekite makowe goti moyoni mwake.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Lakini Yesu atiendelea kola katika hekima na kimo, na azidite pendwa na Nnongo na bandu.
