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.
Masuba ayo Agasita, mwami waku Loma walabika mulawo wakwambeti bantu bonse bali mubulelo bwa Loma balembwe.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Uku kwalikuba kulembesha kwakuyamba kwalenshika cindi Kwilinyasi mpwalikuba mwendeleshi wa cishi ca Siliya.
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Lino bonse bantu balaya akulembesha umo ne umo kumunshi kucomwabo.
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: )
Yosefe neye walanyamuka kufuma ku Nasaleti munshi walikuba mucimpansha ca Galileya kuya kumunshi wa Dafeti, uko kwali kukwiweti Betelehemu, mucishi ca Yudeya, pakwinga walikuba wamulibunda lya Dafeti.
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Walaya pamo ne Maliya uyo ngwalikuba wamamikila, kwambeti naboyo baye balembwe. Cindi ico Maliya walikuba wemita.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Kabacili kopeloko masuba akwambeti Maliya apulukemo alakwana,
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.
walasema mwana wakwiya mutuloba. Walamupetelesha mubikwisa ne kumoneka mucibaya mwali kulyela ng'ombe, pakwinga nkakwalikuba musena mu ng'anda ya bensu.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Kucishi kopeloko kwalikuba bembeshi balikwembela mbelele shabo mashiku.
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.
Mwakutayeyela, mungelo wa Mwami walabonekela kuli endibo. Kubala kwa bulemeneno bwa Mwami kwalabamunikila tuu! Lino balatina.
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.
Nomba mungelo walabambileti, “Kamutatina pakwinga ndalete Mulumbe Waina weti ukondweleshe bantu bonse.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Mashiku alelo mumunshi wa mwami Dafeti mulasemwe Mupulushi wenu wananikwa uyo walaiwa, Klistu endiye Mwami.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Lino cishibisho cakendi nici; Nimuye mucane mwana kateta wafungailwa mubikwisa kaliwona mucibaya mwakulyela ng'ombe.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Mwakutayeyela kwalabonekela likoto lya bangelo bangi ba kwilu pamo ne mungelo usa bali kulumbaisha Lesa kabambeti,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
“Alumbwe Lesa wa kwilu wapitapo kayi panshi pabe lumuno pakati pa bantu Lesa mbakondwa nabo.”
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.
Bangelo balabwelela kwilu, lino bembeshi balatatika kwambilaneti, “Katuyani tushikeko ku Betelehemu tuye tubone cilenshiki ico ncalatwambili Mwami.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
Lino balaya mwakufwambana, nekucana Maliya ne Yosefu boneka mwana mucibaya mwalikulyela ng'ombe.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
Mpobalamubona, bembeshi basa balabamba byonse mbyalabambila mungelo usa pamwana walasemwa.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Bonse balanyumfwa makani ayo alambwa ne bembeshi balakankamana.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Maliya walapitilisha kubyanuka bintu byonse ibi kayi walinkabiyeyapo mumoyo wakendi cindi conse.
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.
Bembeshi basa balabwelela, nkabalemeka nekulumbaisha Lesa pabyonse mbyobalanyufwa nekubona. Calenshika ndendende mbuli mwalabambilila Mungelo.
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.
Mwana usa mpwalakwanisha masuba asanu ne atatu balamwelula nekumutumba lineti Yesu. Lina ndyalamba mungelo, Yesu nkatana aba mulibunda lyabanyina.
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;
Mpocalashika cindi cakwambeti, Yosefe ne maliya bense mwambo wakuswepesha pakukonka Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose, mwanoyo balaya nendi ku Yelusalemu kwambeti bamubenge kuli Mwami.
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
Pakwinga calembwa mu Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose kwambeti, “Mwana uliyense mutuloba, wakwiya welela kubengwa kuli Lesa.”
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.
Balaya akubenga mulumbo wa nkulimba shibili nambi bana ba baciba babili kwelana mbuli calembwa mu Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Mose.
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.
Lino mu Yelusalemu mwalikuba muntu walikukwiweti Simyoni, walikuba muntu walikutina Lesa. kayi Mushimu Uswepa walikuba pali endiye. Walikupembelela cindi cakwambeti Lesa akapulushe Baislaeli.
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.
Mushimu Uswepa walamuyubulwila kwambeti nteshi akafwe nkatanabona Klistu mupulushi walaiwa ne Lesa.
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,
Busuba bumbi Mushimu Uswepa walamwambila simyoni kwambeti ayenga kung'anda ya Lesa. Bamashali ba Yesu balengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa ne mwana kwambeti bamwinshile mwambo wa Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Mose.
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Popelapo Simyoni walatambula mwana nekumufukatila mumakasa mwakendi ne kulumbaisha Lesa ne maswi akwambeti,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
“Mwami, lino ndekeni ame musebenshi wenu, njenga mulumuno, pakwinga mulenshi ncomwalanshomesha.
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Pakwinga menso akame alabono lupulusho lwenu,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
lupulusho ulo ndomwalabamba, pamenso abantu bonse.
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Uyu ni mumuni walambweti nukamunikile bantu ba mishobo naimbi, nekwambeti pakabe bulemeneno pa bantu benu Ba isilayeli.”
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
Baishi ne banyina balakankamana mpobalanyumfwa maswi ngalamba Simyoni pa mwana uyu.
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;
Lino Simyoni walabaleleka nekwambila Maliya banyina mwana eti, uyu mwana walasalwa ne Lesa, “Kwambeti awishe ne kupundusha bangi pakati pa bantu ba mu Islayeli. Nakabe cishibisho catumwa ne Lesa, ico bantu bangi ncoti bakakane.
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Neco miyeyo ili mumyoyo yabantu bangi, nikabonekele patuba. Nenjobe Maliya mapensho nakakwikate ne kuyasa kumuyo eti cibeshi.”
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;
Kayi kwalikuba mushinshimi mutukashi mukalibingi lina lyakendi ni Ana. Walikuba mwanendi Faniwelo wa mulibunda lya Asha uyo walekala ne baibendi byaka bisanu ne bibili, Lino neye walikuba mucembele.
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.
Pacindi co walikuba ne byaka makumi asanu ne atatu kayi ne byaka bina. Cindi conse walikwikala mu Ng'anda ya Lesa. Walikapaila kuli Lesa mashiku ne munshi kayi ni muntu walikulikanisha kulya.
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.
Nendi mpwalashikako copeleco cindi, walatatika kulumbaisha Lesa, kambila bantu bonse sha mwana uyo ngobalikupembelela cindi Lesa mposhi akapulushe Yelusalemu.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Yosefe ne Maliya mpobalapwisha kwinsa byonse kwelana ne Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose, balabwelela kucomwabo ku Nasaleti mucishi ca Galileya.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Mwana usa walakula nekuba ne ngofu kayi walaba ne mano. Neco Lesa walamuleleka.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Bashali ba Yesu balikuya lyonse ku Yelusalemu mwaka ne mwaka akusekelela Pasika.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
Yesu mpwalaba ne myaka likumi ne ibili, balaya kopeloko mbuli cinga cabo.
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.
Mpobalapwisha kusekelela bala bwelela kucomwabo, Yesu walashala ku Yelusalemu, bashali bakendi nkabalenshiba.
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.
Balo bashali bakendi bali kabayeyeti uli mulikoto lya bantu mbobali kuyanabo munshila, balenda musuma wa busuba bumo. Lino balatatika kumuyandaula kubamakwabo ne kubanabo.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
Mpobalacaneti kuliyawa, balabwelela ku Yelusalemu kabaya akumulangola.
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.
Balamucana mpopalapita masuba atatu mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, nkali ekala pakati pa beshikwiyisha, nkanyumfwila maswi abo kayi nkabepusha mipusho.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Bantu bonse balakankamana mpobalanyufwa mbuli mwalikubakumbulila ne mano.
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.
Bashali bakendi mpobalamubona balakankamana. Lino banyina balamwipusheti, “Mwana obe, ulatwinshili cani cisa? Bona ame ne baiso tulashupiki kukuyandola.”
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?
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Nomba nkamundangwela cani, sena nkamucishi kwambeti ndelela kuba mung'anda ya Bata?”
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
Balo baliya kunyufwishisha ncalabakumbula.
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.
Lino Yesu walanyamuka nekuya nabo kucomwabo ku Nasaleti pakwinga walikunyumfwila banyina. Maliya walasunga bintu ibi byonse mumoyo wakendi.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Yesu walakula necimo ca mano kayi walaba mwana weshi kukondwelesha Lesa nebantu bonse.
