Luke 2
1 In those days Augustus Caesar issued an edict for a census of the whole inhabited world.
Ka nako e Kaesare Aguseto, Kgosi e kgolo ya Roma a ntsha molao wa gore merafe yotlhe e kwalwe.
2 This was the first census, When Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Go kwalwa mo go ne ga dirwa ka lobaka lwa Kwirinio e le molaodi wa Siria.
3 And every one went to be registered, each to the town to which he belonged.
Mongwe le mongwe o ne a kopiwa go boela kwa ga gabo mogolo go ikwadisa.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city if Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David.
Mme Josefe ka e ne e le ngwana wa bogosi, a tshwanelwa ke go tswa kwa motseng wa Galalea wa Nasaretha a etela kwa Bethelehema mo Judea legae la bogologolo la ga Kgosi Dafide.
5 He went to be registered along with Mary, who was espoused to him, and was pregnant.
A tsamaya le Marea, mmeelediwa wa gagwe yo o neng a bonala a le moimana ka nako e.
6 But while they were there the days were fulfilled for her delivery.
Mme fa ba sa le teng foo, lobaka lwa tla lwa gore ngwana a tsholwe;
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.
mme a tshola ngwana wa ntlha, e le mosimane. A mo phuthela ka kobo a mmaya mo bojelong jwa diruiwa, gonne ba ne ba sena bonno mo motseng wa baeti.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
Bosigo joo badisa bangwe ba bo ba le mo nageng kwa ntle ga motse, ba disitse letsomane la bone la dinku.
9 When suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they feared with a great fear. The angel said to them.
Ka tshoganetso moengele a iponatsa mo go bone mme lefatshe la phatsima ka ntlha ya kgalalelo ya Morena, mme ba tshoga thata.
10 "Have no fear, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.
Mme moengele a ba nametsa a re, “Se boifeng!” “Ke lo lereditse mafoko a boitumelo jo bogolo jo bo tlaa bolelwang ka bosakhutleng, mme ke jwa mongwe le mongwe!
11 "For unto you born this day in there is born in David’s town a Saviour, who is the Anointed Lord.
Mmoloki ee, Mesia o tsetswe bosigong jono mo Bethelehema!
12 "And this is a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes lying in a manger."
Lo tlaa mo lemoga jang? Lo tlaa bona losea lo phuthetswe mo kobong, lo robaditswe mo bojelong!”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly army praising God and saying,
Ka tshoganetso moengele a tlhakana le lesomo le legolo la ba bangwe ebong mephato ya legodimo ba baka Modimo ba opela ba re:
14 "Glory to God in the highest, And in earth peace among men who please him"
“Kgalalelo e nne go Modimo kwa magodimong, le kagiso mo lefatsheng mo go botlhe ba ba mo itumedisang.”
15 Now when the angels had left them, and gone away to heaven, the shepherds said to one to another, "Let us go now even to Bethlehem, and see this saying which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."
Erile mophato o mogolo wa baengele o sena go boela gape kwa legodimong, badisa ba raana ba re, “A re yeng! A re yeng kwa Bethelehema! A re yeng go bona kgakgamatso e e diragetseng, e Morena o re boleletseng kaga yone.”
16 so they made haste, and came and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Mme ba sianela kwa motseng ba tsaya tsela e e yang kwa go Marea le Josefe. Mme ga bo go le ngwana a rapame mo bojelong.
17 When they had seen, they made known about the words which had been spoken to them concerning the child.
Badisa ba bolelela mongwe le mongwe kaga se se diragetseng le se moengele o se ba boleletseng kaga ngwana yo.
18 And all who heard it were astonished at the things which were told to them by the shepherds.
Botlhe ba ba utlwileng polelo ya badisa ba gakgamala.
19 But Mary treasured up all those words, Often pondering on on them in her heart.
Mme Marea a baya dilo tse mo pelong ya gagwe ka tidimalo mme a akanya kaga tsone gantsi.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying God and praising him for all those things that they had seen and heard, even as it was told to them.
Hong badisa ba boela gape kwa nageng kwa letsomaneng la bone, ba galaletsa Modimo kaga go etelwa ke moengele le gore ba bone ngwana, fela jaaka baengele ba ba boleletse.
21 When eight days had passed, and the time had come to circumcise him, he was called Jesus, the name given him by the angel before his conception in the womb.
Morago ga malatsi a fera bobedi, kwa tirelong ya thupiso ya losea, a rewa leina gatwe Jesu, leina le o le neilweng ke moengele pele ga a ise a ithwalwe.
22 And when the days for purification according to the law of Moses had passed, they took him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
E rile fa nako e tla ya gore Marea a ntshe tshupelo ya ntlafatso kwa tempeleng, ka fa melaong ya ga Moshe morago ga botsalo jwa ngwana, batsadi ba gagwe ba mo tseela kwa Jerusalema go ya go mo neela mo Moreneng;
23 as it is written in the law of Moses, Every firstborn male shall be called holy to the Lord.
Gonne mo melaong e go tulwe, “Fa ngwana wa ntlha wa mosadi e le mosimane, o tlaa neelwa Morena.”
24 And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord A pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
Ka nako eo batsadi ba ga Jesu le bone ba ntsha setlhabelo sa bone sa go itshekisiwa, a e ka nna maphoi a le mabedi! kgotsa maebana a mabedi! E ne e le kopo e e ka fa molaong.
25 Now there was in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon. He was righteous and devout, and was waiting for the consolation of Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him.
Ka letsatsi leo monna yo o bidiwang Simione moagi wa Jerusalema, o na a le mo tempeleng. E ne e le monna yo o siameng, morapedi yo mogolo, a tletse Mowa o o Boitshepo ebile ka metlha yotlhe a solofetse Mesia go tla ka bonako.
26 Now it has been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Gonne Mowa o o Boitshepo o ne o iponaditse mo go ene gore ga a na go swa go fitlhelela a bona kgosi e e tloditsweng ya Modimo.
27 And he came into the Temple, led by the Spirit. and when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
Mowa O O Boitshepo o ne wa mo tlhotlheletsa go ya kwa tempeleng ka letsatsi leo; mme jalo fa Marea le Josefe ba goroga go neela Jesu mo Moreneng ka go ikobela molao,
28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
Simione o ne a le teng mme a tsaya ngwana ka mabogo a gagwe, a baka Modimo.
29 "Now lettest thou thy slave depart, O Master; according to thy word in peace,
A re, “Morena. Jaanong ke ka a swa ka kagiso! Gonne ke mmone jaaka o ntsholofeditse gore ke tlaa mmona, ke bone Mmoloki yo o mo neileng lefatshe.
30 "Because my eyes had seen the salvation,
31 "Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 "A light for the unveiling of the Gentiles And the glory of thy people Israel."
Ke lesedi le le tlaa phatshimelang dichaba, e bile o tlaa nna kgalalelo mo bathong ba gago ba Iseraele!”
33 And while his father and mother were marveling at the words that were spoken concerning him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother.
Marea le Josefe ba ema fela foo, ba gakgamalela se se buiwang kaga Jesu.
34 "Behold this child is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
Simione a ba segofatsa mme a raya Marea a re, “Chaka e tlaa tlhaba mowa wa gago, gonne ngwana yo o tlaa ganwa ke batho ba le bantsi mo Iseraele ka ntlha ya tshenyego ya bone. Mme o tlaa nna boipelo jo bogolo jwa ba bangwe ba le bantsi. Le dikakanyo tse di kwa teng tsa dipelo tse di ntsi di tlaa senolwa.”
35 Yea, and a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, that the thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."
36 There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in age, having lived with her husband seven years, after her girlhood,
Ana, moporofiti wa mosadi o na a le teng ka letsatsi leo. E ne e le morwadia Fanuela, wa morafe wa Sejuta wa ga Ashere, mme o ne a tsofetse, gonne e ne e le motlholagadi wa selekanyo sa dingwaga di le masome a fera bobedi le bone go tloga mo dingwageng di supa tsa lenyalo la gagwe, o ne a seka a tloga mo tempeleng mme a nna teng bosigo le motshegare, a obamela Modimo ka go rapela le go itima dijo gantsi.
37 and then being a widow even for fourscore and four years. She departed not from the temple, but worshiped with the fasting and prayer, night and day.
38 She came up at that very hour, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
A atamela fa Simione a sa ntse a bua le Marea le Josefe, mme a simolola go leboga Modimo le go itsise mongwe le mongwe mo Jerusalema yo a neng a letile go tla ga Mmoloki kaga kgorogo ya ga Mesia.
39 As soon as all that the law required had been done, they returned to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.
Erile batsadi ba ga Jesu ba sena go diragatsa gotlhe mo go neng go tlhokwa ke Molao wa Modimo ba boela gae kwa Nasaretha mo Galalea.
40 And the child grew and became strong, becoming full of wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Koo ngwana a feta a nna mosimane yo o thata yo o nonofileng, a ba a itsiwe ka botlhale jo bo fetileng dingwaga tsa gagwe; mme Modimo wa gorometsa matlhogonolo a one mo go ene.
41 Now his parents were accustomed to go up to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
Erile Jesu a le dingwaga di le lesome le bobedi a tsamaya le batsadi ba gagwe go ya kwa moletlong wa Tlolaganyo o ba neng ba o tsena ngwaga le ngwaga.
42 And when he was twelve years old they went up, as was customary, at the time of the feast
43 After spending the full number of days they started home, but the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know this,
Morago ga moletlo ba simolola go boela gae kwa Nasaretha, mme Jesu a sala mo Jerusalema. Mme batsadi ba gagwe ga ba a ka ba mo tlhoka letsatsi la ntlha,
44 but supposed that he was in the company, and went a days journey. Then they hunted for him among his kinsfolk and acquaintance;
gonne ba ne ba gopola gore o na le ditsala mo baeting ba bangwe. Mme erile fa a sa bonale mo maabanyaneng ao, ba simolola go mmatla mo ditsaleng tsa bone.
45 and when they did not find him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for him.
Mme ya re ba sa mmone, ba boela kwa Jerusalema go ya go mmatla teng.
46 On the third day they found him sitting in the Temple, among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking questions.
Morago ga malatsi a mararo ba mmona. O ne a le mo Tempeleng, a ntse fa gare ga baruti ba molao, a ganetsanya le bone ka dipotso tse di thata mme a gakgamatsa mongwe le mongwe ka kitso ya gagwe le dikarabo.
47 All that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 When they saw him they were astonished, and his mother said to him "Child, why have you treated us so? Behold your father and I have been looking for you in anguish."
Mme batsadi ba gagwe ba se ka ba itse gore ba ka akanyang fa ba mmona a ntse foo a didimetse. Hong mmaagwe a mo raya a re, “Morwaaka! Ke eng fa o re diretse jaana. Rrago le nna re go batlile ka tlhoafalo gongwe le gongwe?”
49 He answered, "Why is it that you have been looking for me, did you not realize that I had to be in my Father’s house?"
Mme a ba raya a re, “Lo ne lo mpatlelang? A lo ne lo sa lemoge gore ke tlaa bo ke le fano mo Tempeleng, mo tlung ya ga Rre?”
50 But they did not understand the words that he spoke to them.
Mme ba bo ba sa tlhaloganye gore o raya jang.
51 Then he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was always obedient to them. But his mother kept treasuring up all these incidents in her hearts.
Hong a boela kwa Nasaretha le bone a ba utlwa; mme mmaagwe a boloka dilo tse tsotlhe mo pelong ya gagwe.
52 And Jesus was ever advancing in wisdom and in status and in favor with God and man.
Mme Jesu a gola a nna moleele ebile a le botlhale, mme a ratwa ke Modimo le batho.
