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.
Lyahanu mwa ana mazuva, ni kweza za Ceaser Augusto na tuma sikwata ku laera kuti kuve ni cipalo ca ku vala vantu vonse mwi nkanda.
2 ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Ichi chivali chipalo cha hentanzi chiva pangahali kwa Quirinius havali muyendisi we nkanda ya Siriya.
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Lyahanu zimwi ni zumwi naya ku toropo yakwe ku ku ka ñolisa ku chipalo.
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: )
Josefa naye na yenda kuzwa kwa Galileya, kuzwa ku toropo ya Nazareta. kuya kwa Judeya, kwi totopo ya Davita i va ku sumpwa Betelehema, mukunti avali ku zwilila ku luzuvo lwa Davita.
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Na enda ko kuka liñolisa hamwina ni Mariya iye yaava veeleze avali hindite.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Linu ni yeza inako, havava ku sina koko, niya ba inako ya yakwe ya kuletwa kwa mucice.
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.
Na leta mwana shwisu, we ntazi, cha mu vungila mu majira male, linu na mulazika muchililo che ñombe, mukuti kahena ku vena chivaka cha masikilo.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Kuvena valisi vamitapi vavena mweco chilalo mu mumawa, vava ku lalila mitapi yavo masiku.
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.
Iñeloi lya Simwine ni lyalivonahaza ku vali, ni kwava ni nkanya ya Simwine iva niya pazima kuva zimbuluka, imi vava tite tota.
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.
Linu iñeloi nilya va cho kuti, musiye ku tiya, mukuti twa mi letela liinzwi i ilotu, lyete lilete ku sanga ku kando ku vantu vonse.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Sunu muhazi ava letwa kwenu mwi toropo ya Davida! Nji Keresite Simwine.
12 And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Ichi nji chisupo chete nichi hewe kwenu, mu mu wane muchiche yo zingeletwe muma jira u lazikite muchililo ce ñombe.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Hahaho ni iñeloi ni lina ko kuvena vuungi bwe mpi izwa kwiwulu ivali ku lumbeka Ireza, ni icho,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
“Inkanya kwa Ireza mulena wa mawulu, mi kuve ni nkozo hansi mukati ka vantu va tavela.”
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.
Nikweza hakuti mañeloi ha a yenda kuzwa ku vali kuya kwi wulu, valisi ni vali ambila, tu yende kwa Betelehema, kuka vona ichi chintu chiva chitahali, icho chava twi zivisi Simwine.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
Niva hwelela kwateni ni vaka wana Mariya ni Josefa, ni ku vona lukeke lu lele muchililo.
17 And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
Haba mana kumu vona, ni ve zibahaza chi vava wambilwe ku likana nozu muhwile.
18 And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Vonse vava izuwi ni ba makala ku chiva wambitwe kuzwa ku balisi.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart.
Kono Maliya na zwila havusu ku zeza zintu zonse za va zuwi, ku zi vika mu nkulo yakwe.
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.
Balisi niva vola, ni va chenchelela ni ku lumba Ireza cha zintu zonse zi vava zuwi ni ku vona, uvu mu ku va wambilwa ku vali.
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.
Hakuva kuma mani-mani e zuva li hinda iyanza ni otatwe, ha citwa mupato, na vikwa izina lwa Jesu, izina lyava hewa ku mañeloi naseni ku vumbwa mwi vumo.
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;
Impalo ya mazuva ava sakahere ku kulijoloza kwavo ha i hita, kakuya cha mulao wa Mushe, Josefa ni Maliya ni va muleta kwi tempere mwa Jerusalema ku muleta havusu vwakwe kwa Simwine.
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
Muku ñolelwe mu mulawo wa Simwine, “umwi ne umwi mwana shisu wi yalula lupepo mwa vikwe kumbali kwa Simwine”.
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.
Linu chivaha chitavelo chavo kakuya mukuva telwa mu mulao wa Simwine, “inkuva zovele kamba imkwilimba inini zo vele”
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.
Muvone, kuvena mukwame mwa Jerusalema izina lakwe avali nji Simioni imi uzu mukwame ava shiyeme ni ku li neela. Ava lolelele muhazi wa Isiraere, imi luhuho lu jolola luvena hali.
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.
Iva ungulwilwe kwali cha luhuho lujolola kuti kete na vone lufu naseni ku vona Keresite wa Simwine.
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,
Che nkelelo ya luhuho, Simiyoni neza mwi tempele. Bazazi hava leta lukeke Jesu, ku mu chita cha kuya ka sico cha mulao,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
na mu hinda mu mavoko akwe ni ku lumbeka Ireza mi na cho,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
Hanu u siye muhikana ko a yende mu nkozo, Simwine, chakuya cha liinzwi lyako.
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Mukuti menso angu ava voni impuluso yako,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
yo va bakanyi mwi muvusu vwa vantu vonse:
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Mumuni we nsinulo kuva sa zumini ni nkanya ku vantu vako Isiraere.”
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
Vesi wa muhwile ni vanyina vava makele ka zintu ziva li ku wambiwa ku amana naye.
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;
Simiyoni cha va fuyola na cho kwa Mariya inyina wakwe, “Vone, uzu muhwile ketelwe kuwa ni ku vuka kwa vantu vangi mwa Isiraere imi cha chisupo chi kanitwe-
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
mi ilumo mu li hweze mu luhuho lwako-mukuti muzezelo we nkulo zingi ku letwe he nkanza.
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;
Muporofita wa mwanakazi ava ku sumpwa Anna kwavena. Avali mwana wa Fanuwelu yozwa ku mushovo wa Asha. Ava supele luli.
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.
Ava hali ni mwihyabwe ka zilimo zi hinda iyanza ni zovele. imi avali mufwilwa cha zilimo zina makumi a hinda iyaza ni makumi o tatwe ni zone. Kana ava ku siya itempere kono avali ku tendela cha kulinyima zilyo ni ntapelo, masiku ni kamwi.
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.
Cho wo muzuzu, cheza kuvali ni kutanga kuha vuitumero kwa Ireza mi na wamba ka za muhwile ku zumwi ni zumwi yava lindile ku hazwa kwa Jerusalema.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Linu hava mana zonse zivavali lukela ku chita ka kuya ka mulao wa Simwine, niva vola kwa Galileya, kwi toropo yavo ya Nazareta.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Muhwile na kula ni kuva yo kolete, na ekeza ku vutali, ni chishemo cha Ireza chivena hakwe.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Vazazi vakwe vava kuyendanga chilimo ni chilimo kwa Jerusalema ku mukiti we mpaseka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
Ha va ni zilimo zine ikumi ni zovele, hape niva yenda kuya ke nako ya chizo ku mukiti.
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].
Have kala mazuva avalwa ezwile a mukiti, niva tanga ku voola ku muzi. Imi mushisu nashala mumasule mwa Jerusalema mi vazazi vakwe kena vave zivi.
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.
Chiva zeza kuti wina mukati ka chikwata ca vamwi vava vali kuyenda navo, imi niva yenda lwendo lwe zuva lyonke. Linu ni va tanga ku mu lola mukati ka vakwavo ni bamwakwe.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
Hava mu vula, niva vola kwa Jerusalema ni ku tanga kumu lola kwateni.
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.
Nikwahi ta mazuva otatwe, chi va muwana mwi tempere, ne kele mukati ka muruti, nava tekete ni kuva vuza impuzo.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Vonse vava zuwi ku amana naye ni va makala ha ku zuwisisa kwakwe ni nkalabo za kwe.
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.
Havu muvona, ni va makala. Vanyina ni vawamba kwali, “Mwanangu, cinzi hawatu cita vuti? Teke, veso neme tuva ku ku saka saka.”
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?
Nati kuvali, “Cinzi hamu kwete kuni saka? kana muvezivi kuti ni lukela kuva munzuvo ivandanda?”
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
Kono kena vava zuwisisi cha va talusi chawo manzwi.
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.
Imi chayenda kuvola kumunzi navo kwa Nazareta ni kuli voza hansi ku vali. Banyina ni va ungula izi zintu zonse munkulo yavo.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Linu Jesu na zwila havusu ku kula cha vutali ni ku wera ku chiyemo, ni wera ku chishemo ni Ireza ni vantu.
