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.
Lukumbi lwenulo, Agusiti mweavi nkosi mkulu wa vankosi va unkosi va ku Loma, alagizili vandu voha vayandikwa muchitabu.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Kuyandakiswa kwenuko kwakita kutumbukana, na lukumbi lwenulo Kulenio avi chilongosi wa ku Silia.
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Kila mundu, akahamba kumuji waki muni ajiyandikisayi.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David: )
Na Yosefu mewa akawuka pamuji wa Nazaleti wewavi kumulima wa Galilaya, akahamba kumuji wa Betelehemu wewavi pamulima wa ku Yudea, kweavelikiwi nkosi Daudi.
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Akahamba kuyandakiswa pamonga na maliya mweavimchumba waki, mweavi na ndumbu.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Pevavi ku Betelehemu ligono laki likahika akavya na mwana.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a crib; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Akaveleka mwana waki mtumbulanu mwana mgosi, akamtindisila tunyula twa vana, kangi akamgonesa muwatu wa kulisila mifuya, ndava vapati lepi fwasi munyumba za vayehe.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Pamulima wenuwo kwavi na vadimaji vevatama pandu pa kudimila na kulindalila mambelele gavi cha kupishana kilu.
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.
Mtumu wa Chapanga akavahumila na lumuli lukulu lwa Bambu lwavalangasili, pandu poha. Vayogwipi neju.
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.
Nambu Mtumu wa Chapanga akavajovela, “Mkotoka kuyogopa! Myuwanayi nivaletili lilovi la bwina la luheku neju kwa vandu voha va Paisilaeli.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Muni lelu pamuji wa Daudi avelikiwi msangula winu, Kilisitu ndi Bambu.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; All of you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a crib.
Na ulangisu wa kummanya ndi uwu, yati mukumkolela mwana vamtindisili tunyula twa vana vamgonisi muwatu wa kulisila mifuya.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Bahapo msambi wa vamitumu vangi va kunani vakawungana na mtumi mwenuyo vakamulumba Chapanga na kujova,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
“Alumbiwayi Chapanga kunani, na uteke uvyaa pamulima kwa vandu veaganisiwi nawu!”
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 (rhema) which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known unto us.
Pavawuyili Vamitumu vala kunani, ndi vadimaji vakajovesana vene kwa vene, “Tihambayi ku Betelehemu tikagalola geatijovili Bambu aga.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a crib.
Vakayumbatika kuhamba kwenuko, vakamkolela Maliya na Yosefu na vamgonisi mng'enya muwatu wa kulisila mifuya.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying (rhema) which was told them concerning this child.
Vadimaji vala pavamuwene mwana yula, vakatumbula kujova goha gavayuwini kuhuma kwa Mtumu wa kunani kumvala mwana uyo.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Voha vavayuwini gevajoviwi na vadimaji vala, vakakangasa.
19 But Mary kept all these things, (rhema) and pondered them in her heart.
Ndi Maliya akagavika na kugahololela mambu goha mumtima waki.
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.
Vadimaji vala vakawuya, kuni vakumulumbalila Chapanga kwa goha gavayuwini na kugalola, goha ngati chagajoviwi mtumi wa kunani.
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.
Palapiti lijuma limonga, lukumbi lwa kumdumula mwana jandu lwaihiki, vakampela liina la Yesu, ndi liina la apewili na mtumu wa kunani kwakona nyina waki kuvya na ndumbu.
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;
Payahikili ligono la Yosefu na Maliya kunyambiswa ngati chayaganikiwi na malagizu ga Chapanga geampelili Musa, ndi vampeliki mwana ku Yelusalemu ndava ya kumvika kwa Bambu.
23 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
Ngati chaiyandikiwi mu Malagizu ga Musa, “Kila mwana mgosi mwaatumbwili kuvelekewa yati ikemelewa msopi na kubaguliwa ndava ya lihengu la Bambu.”
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.
Ndi vakahamba kuwusa luteta kwa Chapanga, ngunda zivili amala mawela gavili, ngati chayaganikiwi mu Malagizu ga Bambu.
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 Spirit (pneuma) was upon him.
Lukumbi lwenulo ku Yelusalemu kula kwavi na mundu mmonga, liina laki Simioni, mwenuyo akitayi mambu ga kumganisa Chapanga na mwenuyo alindilayi kuhika lukumbi lwa vandu va Isilaeli kupumuliswa mitima. Na mpungu Msopi avi pamonga na mwene.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
Mpungu Msopi amgubukuli Simoni yati ifwa lepi changamlola Kilisitu msangula mweahaguliwi yula mweajoviwi na Bambu.
27 And he came by the Spirit (pneuma) into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
Ndi Simoni alongwiswi na Mpungu msopi kuhamba mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, pamonga na dadi na nyina wa Yesu, pavampeliki mwana wavi Yesu ndava ya kukita ngati chayaganikiwi na mivelu ya malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa.
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simoni akampokela mwana Yesu mu mawoko gaki, kuni akumsengusa Chapanga, akajova.
29 Lord, now let you your servant depart in peace, according to your word: (rhema)
“Hinu, Mkulu, ukitili ngati chewakajovili, unilekayi, nene mvanda waku nihamba cha uteke.
30 For mine eyes have seen your salvation,
Kwa mihu gangu niuwene usangula waku,
31 Which you have prepared before the face of all people;
Ndi uhuletili usangula palongolo ya vandu va milima yoha ulolekayi.
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.
Lwenulo ndi lumuli lwa kuvamanyisa vandu vangali kuvya Vayawudi, na ukulu kwa vandu vaku va ku Isilaeli.”
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
Dadi na nyina wa Yesu vakakangasa ndava ya malovi gala gegajoviki kumuvala mwana yula.
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;
Ndi Simioni akavamotisa, akamjovela Maliya nyina waki Yesu, “Lola mwana uyu avelekiwi ndava ya vandu vamahele va Isilaeli kugwa kwa vandu vamahele na vangi vamahele kuyinuka, mwene yati ivya ulangisu wa kubelekana na vandu,
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
muni maholo ga vandu va mahele galalolekana pawaka. Wamwene lipyanda ngati upanga, ukuhomili mtima waku.”
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;
Kwavili na mdala mmonga mgogolo neju, mlota wa Chapanga, liina laki Ana, msikana wa Fanueli wa likabila la Asheli. Paavi msikana agegiwi na kutama na mgwana waki miyaka saba ndu.
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.
Kangi asigalili lipwela mbaka muugogolo wa miyaka semanini na mcheche. Lukumbi lwoha awelai mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, ajihinisi kulya na kuyupa kilu na muhi.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
Mdala yula akahumila lukumbi lulalula na kutumbula kumsengusa Chapanga na kuvajovela vandu voha gakumuvala mwana yula, vevalindila kugombolewa na kulekekesewa kwa 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.
Yosefu na Maliya pavamali kukita goha gegalagiziwi mu Malagizu ga Bambu, vawuyili kumuji wavi Nazaleti wewavi ku Galilaya.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, (pneuma) filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Mwana yula akakula na kuvya na makakala, akamema luhala na umotisi wa Chapanga wavi pamonga na mwene.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Kila mwaka dadi na nyina waki Yesu vahambili ku Yelusalemu kumselebuko wa Vayawudi wewikemiwa pasaka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
Yesu peahikisi miaka kumi na yivili, voha vakakwela kuhamba ku Yelusalemu, kumselebuko wa vayawudi wa pasaka ngati chayavi mivelu yavi.
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.
Mselebuko pawamaliki, vakawuya, Yesu asigalili ku Yelusalemu changali dadi na nyina waki kumanya.
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.
Dadi na nyina vaki vaholalili avi pamonga mulugendu, vakagenda muhi woha, kangi vakatumbula kumulonda kwa valongo vaki na vankozi waki.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
Vamuweni lepi, vakawuya ku Yelusalemu vakumulonda.
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.
Ligono la datu la kumlonda, vakamkolela mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, atamii pagati ya vawula va malagizu, akuvayuwanila na kuvakota.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Voha vevamuyuwanila malovi gaki vakavya kumkangasa ndava ya luhala na kuyangula kwaki.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why have you thus dealt with us? behold, your father and I have sought you sorrowing.
Na pavamuweni vakakenyemuka, nyina waki akamkota “Wamwana vangu ndava kyani utikitili genaga? Dadi waku na nene ting'ahiki neju kukulonda.”
49 And he said unto them, How is it that all of you sought me? know all of you not that I must be about my Father's business?
Yesu akayangula, “Ndava kyani mukunilonda? Mumanyi lepi ngati yikunigana nene kuvya munyumba ya Dadi wangu?”
50 And they understood not the saying (rhema) which he spoke unto them.
Nambu dadi na nyina waki nakugamanya malovi gala geavajovili.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings (rhema) in her heart.
Yesu akawuya pamonga nawu ku Nazaleti, akuvayuwanila. Nyina waki akayendelela kugaholalela mambu goha mumtima waki.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Yesu akayonjokeseka kukula luhala na higa, akaganisiwa neju na Chapanga na vandu.
