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.
Laa yogunu Sesa Ogusita den ñani li ñoabonli ke li yadi i kaani kuli ki yedi ban coadi Loma diema yaaba kuli.
2 ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Laa coadikpiali den tieni Kilinusi n den tie Sili diema Gufeneeli ya yogunu.
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Yua kuli den ca ke ban coadi o o dandogu nni.
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: )
Josefi moko den fii Nasaleti dogu nni yu n ye Galile diema nni, ki gedi Jude diema Dafidi maadogu Betelema nni kelima o den tie Dafidi puoliŋuanu leni o diegu nni yua.
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
O den gedi ke ban ban coadi wani leni o toginaa Maliyama, yua n den punbi.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Ban den ye Betelema, o maayogunu den pundi. O den mali o posabiga, bonjaga.
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.
O den bobini o ti canpanditiadi ki duani o ku yankpagu nni, kelima kaanu ki den ye bi po ku candiegu nni.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Laa tinkunu nni bi yankpaaba den ye ku muagu nni ki gu bi yandi ku ñiagu.
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.
O diedo maleki den doagidi o yuli bi kani. O Diedo kpiagidi den yendi ki lindi ba ke ti jawaandi den cuo ba boncianla.
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.
Maleki den yedi ba: “Da jie mani. Kelima n cuaani yipo o laabaaliŋamo, yua n baa tua bi niba kuli po pamancianli.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Lani n tie ke dinla, Dafidi dogu nni bi mali yipo o candaano, yua n tie Kilisiti, o Diedo.
12 And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Line n baa tie ya maalima n baa teni yin bandi o, yi baa le ki canpandiga ke bi bobini o ti canpanditiadi ki duani o ku yankpagu nni.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Laa yogunu malekinba boncianla den doagidi bi kani ki taani leni maleki yeni ki pagi U Tienu ki tua:
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
“U Tienu n baa ti kpiagidi ŋali tanpolijoma, ya niba n mangi o pali ki tinga nni n ya pia mi yanduanma.”
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.
Malekinba n den ñani bi kani ki goa tanpoli po, bi yankpaaba den yedi bi yaba: “Tin gedi mani tonma ŋali Betelema ki ban le yaala n tieni, o Diedo n waani ti yaala.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
Bi den jaligi ki gedi ki lingi ki laa maliyama leni josefi, ki go la ki canpandiga ke ki dua ku yankpagu nni.
17 And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
Ban den laa likuli bi den togidi maleki n den waani ba yaala ki canpandiga po.
18 And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Bi yankpaaba n den togidi yaala den paki yaaba n den gbadi kuli.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart.
Maliyama den kubi laa togida kuli o pali nni ki kpaagi lipo.
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.
Bi yankpaaba den lebidi ki goa ki kpiagidi U Tienu, ki go pagi o ban gbadi ki go laa yaala kuli po, ke likuli den tieni nani maleki n waani ba maama.
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.
Ki canpandiga yeni madi daniili daali n den pundi, bi den kuani o ku koanciagu, ki cili o yeli Jesu, maleki n den waani ba ya yeli ŋali ke o naa daa punbi o.
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;
Bi waliŋanbima dana n den pundi nani Musa balimaama n bili maama, bi den gedini ki canpandiga Jelusalema, baan gagidi o o Diedo po,
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
nani lan diani maama o Diedo balimaama nni: Bonjakpiaga kuli baa gagidi o Diedo po.
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.
Bi go den cuani nani o Diedo balimaama n bili ban baa padi U Tienu po, lani n tie kpajefanmu lie, yaaka kpajenaawuundi lie.
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.
Li yogunu o joa den ye Jelusalema ke bi yi o Simeyono. O den tie niteginkoa ki go fangi U Tieni, ki gu yua n baa baagi Isalele buolu yaaba. U Tienu Fuoma Yua den ye leni o.
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.
Li den sua ke U Tienu Fuoma Yua den tuodi ki doagidi ki waani o ke o kan kpe kaa la o Diedo n gandi yua.
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,
U Tienu Fuoma den fiini o ke o cua U Tienu diegu nni. Ki canpandiga Jesu danba n den cuani o ki baa tieni opo U Tienu balimaama n bili yaala,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simeyono den ga o ki kpabi o, ki pagi U Tienu ki yedi:
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
“Moala n Diedo, ŋan pa mini a naacemo n kuni leni mi yanduanma, kelima a kuani a ñoanianu.
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Kelima n nuni laa ŋan soani tipo ya faabima,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
ŋan bogini yaama ke ŋanduna nibuoli kuli baa le,
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
yaama n tie yenma ki baa yendi i nibuoli kuli ki teni ban bandi a, ki go tie ti kpiagidi a niba Isalele buolu yaaba po.”
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
Li den paki Jesu baa leni o naa leni Simeyono n maadi ya maama opo.
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;
Simeyono den gaali ba ki yedi o naa Maliyama: “Diidi ki le, U Tienu bili ke ki naa biga baa teni ke Isalele buolu yaaba siiga boncianla n ba, boncianla mo n fii. O go baa tie U Tienu sinankeeni bi nitianba n baa yie yua,
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
kelima o baa teni bi niba boncianla n jagi yaala bi pala nni n doagidi. Fini mo, ya paboanli n tie nani ki jugisiega baa muu a pali.”
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;
O sawalipualo den ye ki yi Hana ki tie Fanueli bisalo Asela buolu yua o den kpeligi boncianla. O den tieni bina lele leni o calo ŋali o jafandi nni.
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.
O ji den tie kpepuoli ki pia piinii n bina naa. Waa den ña U Tienu diegu nni, o den tuuni U Tienu po u yensiinu leni ku ñiagu kuli leni mi ñoalolima leni i jaandi.
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.
Lanyogunu liga o den nagini bi kani ki pagi U Tienu ki maadimaadi yaaba n gu Jelusalema daafaabima kuli Jesu maama.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Josefi leni Maliyama n den tieni o Diedo balimaama n bili yaala kuli ki gbeni, bi den lebidi ki guani Galile nni bi dogu Nasaleti po.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Ki biga den fandi ke o gbamanu pugidi. O den pia mi yanfuoma boncianla, U Tienu ŋanbili mo den ye leni o.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Jesu danba den maani ki caa Jelusalema binli kuli mi pendima jaanma yogunu.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
Jesu n den pia piiga n bina lie, bi den gedi Jelusalema laa jaanma po nani ban maani ki tiendi maama.
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].
Mi jaanma dana n den pendi ke bi goa ki kuni, ki biga Jesu den sedi Jelusalema. O danba ki den faami.
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.
Nani ban den tama ke bi ye leni bi santagilieba yeni, bi den cuoni danmunli ki lingi o bi kpiiba leni bi bankaaba kuli kani.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
Ban ki den laa o, bi den lebidi ki guani Jelusalema ki baan lingi o.
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.
Li dantaali daali bi den laa o U Tienu diegu nni, ke o ka U Tienu balimaama bangikacianba siiga, ki cengi bi maama ki go buali ba i buali.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Li den paki yaaba n gba o maama kuli kelima o yanfuoma leni o maguankaama po.
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.
O danba n den laa o, li den paki ba boncianla, ke o naa yedi o: “N biga, be n teni ke a tieni ti line? Diidi a baa leni mini kuli den ye leni ti yanyangi ciandi ki lingi a.”
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?
O den yedi ba: “Be n teni ke yi lingi nni? Yii bani ke li tie tiladi min ya ye n Baa dieli nni?”
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
Ama baa den ga wan yediba yaala.
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.
O den yegi leni ba ki kuni Nasaleti, ki tuo ki ŋua bi maama. O naa den kubi laa bonla kuli o pali nni.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Jesu den fandi ki go kpedi ke o yanfuoma pugidi. U Tienu pali leni bi niba ya pala kuli den mani opo ki pugidi.
