Luke 2
1 About that time, Cesar Augustus issued an edict, that all the inhabitants of the empire should be registered.
Lino mulayo mazuba, kwakasika akuti oyo siza Agasitasi wakatamuna mulumbe kulayilila kuti kubalwa kwachitwe kwabantu boonse bapona munyika.
2 (This first register took effect, when Cyrenius was president of Syria.)
Oku kwakali kubalwa kutanzi kwakachitwa chiindi kkwiniliyasi nakali mwendelezyi wa Siliya.
3 When all went to be registered, every one of his own city,
Aboobo muntu woonse wakiinka kudolopo lyakwe kuti akalembesye kubalwa
4 Joseph also went from Nazareth, a city of Galilee, to a city of David in Judea, called Bethlehem, (for he was of the house and lineage of David, )
Josefa alakwe wakinka atala kuzwa ku Galile, kuzwa kudolopo lya Nazaleta, kuya kuJudiy, kuya kudolopo lyaDavida, oyo utegwa Betelehema, nkaambo wakali wang'anda a lunyungu lwaDavida.
5 to be registered, with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was pregnant.
Wakayinka ooko kuti akalembesye aantomwe a Meli, ooyo ngwakatuminide alumwi wakali aatambu.
6 While they were there, the time came, that she should be delivered.
Lino kwakasika kuti biyo nibakachiliko oko, ichindi chakasika chakwe kuti atumbuke mwana wakwe.
7 And she brought forth her first born son, and swathed him, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the house allotted to strangers.
Wakatumbuka mwana mulombe, mwana mutanzi wakwe, alimwi wakamuputila mumalembo akasala malamfu alimwi wamulazika muchata, nkaambo tekwakalikwe busena bulabo munga'nda yabenzu.
8 Now there were shepherds in the fields in that country, who tended their flocks by turns through the night watches.
Kwakaliwo bembeli mubusena obo bakalikukkala mumyuunda, kabalo kulinda butanga bwabo mansiku.
9 On a sudden, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and a divine glory encompassed them with light, and they were frightened exceedingly.
Mungelo wamulami wakaboneka kuli mbabo, alimwi abulemu bwaMwami bwaka yubununwa alimbababo, alimwi bakazula akuyowa kupati.
10 But the angel said to them, Fear not; for lo! I bring you good tidings, which shall prove matter of great joy to all the people;
Mpawo mungelo wakamba wakati, “Mutayowinkambo ndamwetela makani mabotu ayo atazo yete kukondwa kupati kubantu boonse.
11 because to-day is born to you in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Lord Messiah.
Sunu mufuli wazyalilwa ndinywe mudolopo lyaDavida nguKKilisto mwami!
12 And by this you shall know him; you shall find a babe in swaddling bands, lying in a manger.
Echi nchichitondezyo chitakapegwe kuli ndinywe. Mulojana mwana kaputilidwe mulembo likasalaalimwi kalede luchaata.”
13 Instantly the angel was attended by a multitude of the heavenly host, who praised God, saying,
Mpawo mpawo kwakaliwo antomwe abangelo biingi loko bazwa kujulu, kulumbaizya Leza alimwi kabati,
14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace, and good will amongst men!
“Bulemu kuli Leza usumpukide, alimwi ngakube luumuno munyika akati kabantu amwi amoyo ngwaboteledwe.” Amwi malembo achiindi achi Greeki alakupeleta kusiyenesiyene oko kubona kwaamba kwamabala abili akonzya kwaamba zilikumamanino amabala mache a muchala 14, yabili nkili njiyandisigwa. Kubona kwaamba nkoku.” chiyandisisyo chibotu kubantu kana akati kabantu alumwi awoyo we (LEZA) ngwabo teledwe
15 And when the angels returned to heaven, having left the shepherds, these said to one another, Let us go to Bethlehem, and see this which has happened, of which the Lord has informed us.
Kwakaba kuti awo bangelo kabali bayinka kuzwa alimbabo kuya kujulu, bembeli bakati kuli umwi awumwi, “ngatwiinke lino ku Betelehema alimwi tukabone echi chintu chachitika, echo Mwami nchatuyubnwida.
16 And hastening thither, they found Mary and Joseph with the babe, who lay in the manger.
Bakafwambanina nkuko alumwi bakujana Malia, Josefa, amwana oyo wakalede muchata
17 When they saw this, they published what had been imparted to them, concerning this child.
Kuzwawo abo nibakabamubona, bakazibisya ezyo zimbakali babuzigwa bo atala amwana.
18 And all who heard it, wondered at the things told them by the shepherds.
Boonse abo bakamvwa bakagamba kuli zezyo zyakambwa abembeli.
19 But Mary let none of these things escape unobserved, weighing every circumstance within herself.
Pesi Maliya wakali kuyeya a makani ngakali wamvwa, wakalondolawo mumoyo wakwe.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all that they had heard and seen, agreeably to what had been declared to them.
Bembeli bakabweda kabalumbaizya akutembawula Leza kuli zyoonse ezyo zibakamvwa akubona, mbuli mbubaka mbilwa.
21 On the eighth day, when the child was circumcised, they called him Jesus, the angel having given him that name, before his mother conceived him.
Elyo kwakiinda mazuba masanu aatatu, elyo nakabalulwa, wakuzikwa wategwa Jsu, izina ndyakapedwe amungelo musule katana mintwa mwida
22 And when the time of their purification was expired, they carried him to Jerusalem, as the law of Moses appoints, to present him to the Lord;
Elyo ilangililwa mweelwe yamazuba akulisalazya kwabo nakiinda, mbuli mumulawo waMozesi, bo bakamweta kuchikombelo kuJelusalema kulomupeda kumwaami.
23 (as it is written in the law of God, "Every male, who is the first born of his mother, is consecrated to the Lord:")
Mbuli mbukulembedwe mumulawu wamwami, “woonse mwana mulombe ujula ida ulo bikkwa kumbali kuMwami.”
24 and to offer the sacrifices enjoined in the law, a pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.
Abobo bakapa chipaizyo mbuli ezyo zyakambidwe mumulawu wamwana, “inziba zibili nabana bankuilimba.
25 Now there was at Jerusalem a man named Simeon, a just and religious man, who expected the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him,
Amubone kwakali mwalumi muJelusalema ula zina litegwa Simiyoni, alumwi oyo mwalumi wakali luleme a kulipeda. Wakali kalangilila kumbilizigwa kwabaIzilayeli, alubo muuya usalala wakala tala anguwe.
26 and had revealed to him, that he should not dies, until he had seen the Lord's Messiah.
Zyakali zyayubununwa kuli nguwe amuya usalala kutitakozobona lufu katanakubona uNanikidwewaMwami.
27 This man came, guided by the Spirit, into the temple. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what the law required,
Kazulwidwa aMuuya, Simiyoni waka sika muchikombelo. Elyo bazyali bakanjizya mukati mwana Jeso, kulo muchitila mbuli chiyanza chabo chamulawo.
28 he took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Wakamubweza mumaboko aakwe alimwi walumbaizya Leza, alimwi wakati,
29 Now, Lord, thou dost in peace dismiss thy servant, according to thy word;
“Lino leka mulandawako ayiinde mulumuno, mwami, mbuli ijwi lyako.
30 for my eyes have seen the Saviour,
Nkaambo menso angu abona lufutuko lwako,
31 whom thou hast provided in the sight of all the world,
olo mbwakambilwa abuliwo bwabantu boonse.
32 a luminary to enlighten the nations, and to be the glory of Israel thy people.
“Mumuni wachiyubunuzyo kuli bamasi alimwi bulemu kubantu bako izilayeli.”
33 And Joseph, and the mother of Jesus heard, with admiration, the things spoken concerning him.
Wisi abanyina, bakagambilwa aatala azintu zyakalikwaambulwa aatala amwana wabo.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, This child is destined for the fall and the rise of many in Israel, to serve as a mark for contradiction;
Simiyoni wakabalongezya mpawo wakati kuli banyina, “Amulange mwana ooyu ulisalidwe kuti kube kuwa akusumpulwa kwabamwi bantu biingi muli Izirayeli achitondeezyo chikakidwe -
35 (yes, you own soul shall be pierced as with a javelin; ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be disclosed.
alimwi ipanga liyoyasa muuya wako - kuchitila kuti myoyo myiingi ikayubununwe.”
36 There was also a prophetess, Anna, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, in advanced age, who had lived seven years with a husband, whom she married when a virgin;
Musinsimi mwanakazi uutegwa Ana wakaliwo. Wakali mwana musimbi waFanuwelo kuzwa kumukowa wa Asha. Wakali wapona amulumi wakwe minyaka ili musanu ayibili kuzwa kubusimbi bwakwe.
37 and being now a widow about eighty-four years, departed not from the temple, but served God in prayer and fasting night and day;
Alimwi wakali mukamufu kwamwinyaka ili makumi musanu aatatu atune. Takwe nakazwide muchikombelo pesi wakali kubelekela kulyimya a kukomba mansiku, asikati.
38 she also coming in at that instant, gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke concerning Jesus to all those in Jerusalem who expected redemption.
Kuli ndilelyo wola wakaswena afwifwi kuli mbabo almwi wakatalika kupa kulumba kuli Leza, alimwi wakambula alubo aatala amwana kubantu boonse abo bakali kulindila kufutulwa kwaJelusalema.
39 After they had performed everything required by the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Eelyo aabo boonse nibakamanisya nzibakeelede kuchitambuli mulawo wamwami, bakabweeda ku Galilii, kudolopo lyabo lya Nazaleta.
40 And the child grew, and acquired strength of mind, being filled with wisdom, and adorned with a divine gracefulness.
Mwana wakakomena alimwi wakasima, kuyungizya mubusongo, alimwi luzyalo lwaleza lwakali aanguwe
41 Now, the parents of Jesus went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Bazyali bakwe bakali kwiinka munyaka umwi awumwi ku Jelusalema kupobwe lya kwindilila.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they having gone thither, according to the usage of the festival, and remained the customary time;
Awo nakaba aminyaka kkumi ayibili, bakabweda lubo mbuli chiindi chachiyanza chabo kupobwe.
43 being on their return, the child Jesus staid behind in Jerusalem, and neither Joseph nor his mother knew it.
Nibakakkala mazuba azulide aa pobwe, bakabweda kumunzi. Pesi mulombe Jeso wakasyala ku Jelusalema alimwi bazyali bakwe tebakazipe.
44 They supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey, and then sought him among their relations and acquaintances;
Bakayelela kuti wakali akabunga ako nkibakayobwenda aako, mpawo bo bakenda musinzo wazuba limwi. Mpawo bakasanguna kumulangula akati kanzubo zyabo abeenzinyina.
45 but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
Eelyo nibakamubula, bakabweda ku Jelusalema alimwi bakatalika kumuyandula nkuko.
46 And after three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
Zyakachitika kuti musule lyamazuba aatatu bakasanguna kumuyandula mung'anda ya Leza, kakkede akati kabayisyi, kalokubaswilizya akubabuzya mibuzyo.
47 And all who heard him, were amazed at his understanding and answers,
Boonse bakamumvwa bakagamba kukumvwisisisya kwakwe akunsandulo zyakwe
48 and they beheld him with astonishment. And his mother said to him, Son, why have you treated us thus? Behold, your father and I have sought you with sorrow.
Elyo nibakamubona bakakankabala. Banyina bakati kulinguwe, “Mwanaangu, nkambonzi nwatujata enzila eyi? Langa, wuso andime twalikukuyandula achakutankalinkana.”
49 He answered, Why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be in the courts of my Father?
Wakati kulimbabo, “Nkambonzi nimwalikundiyandula? Temwazi na kuti ndeelede kuba mungánda yandeende?”
50 But they did not comprehend his answer.
Pesi bo tebakamvwisisya nzyakalikwamba awayo majwi.
51 And he returned with them to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her memory.
Elyo wakabweda kumunzi kulimbabo kuNazaleta alimwi wakali kulibombya kuli mbabo. Banyina bakalondola zyoonse ezi mumoyo wabo.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and stature, and in power with God and man.
Pesi Jeso wakaya kunembo akukomena mubusongo a muchiimo, alimwi wakayungizya kuluzyalo kuli Leza aku bantu
