Luke 2
1 Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole empire should be enrolled.
Ka nako e Kaesare Aguseto, Kgosi e kgolo ya Roma a ntsha molao wa gore merafe yotlhe e kwalwe.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Qurinos was governor of Syria.
Go kwalwa mo go ne ga dirwa ka lobaka lwa Kwirinio e le molaodi wa Siria.
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
Mongwe le mongwe o ne a kopiwa go boela kwa ga gabo mogolo go ikwadisa.
4 Yauseph also went up from Galila, out of the city of Natsrath, into Yehuda, to the city of Dawid, which is called Beth-Lekhem, because he was of the house and family of Dawid;
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 to enroll himself with Maryam, who was pledged to be married to him, being pregnant.
A tsamaya le Marea, mmeelediwa wa gagwe yo o neng a bonala a le moimana ka nako e.
6 It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.
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 wrapped him with pieces of cloth, and placed him in a feeding trough, because there was no guest room available for them.
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 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Bosigo joo badisa bangwe ba bo ba le mo nageng kwa ntle ga motse, ba disitse letsomane la bone la dinku.
9 And look, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Ka tshoganetso moengele a iponatsa mo go bone mme lefatshe la phatsima ka ntlha ya kgalalelo ya Morena, mme ba tshoga thata.
10 The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for see, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to 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 there is born to you, this day, in the city of Dawid, a Savior, who is Meshikha, the Lord.
Mmoloki ee, Mesia o tsetswe bosigong jono mo Bethelehema!
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
Lo tlaa mo lemoga jang? Lo tlaa bona losea lo phuthetswe mo kobong, lo robaditswe mo bojelong!”
13 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 on earth peace, good will toward humankind."
“Kgalalelo e nne go Modimo kwa magodimong, le kagiso mo lefatsheng mo go botlhe ba ba mo itumedisang.”
15 And it happened that when the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us go to Beth-Lekhem, now, and see this thing that has happened, 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 They came with haste, and found both Maryam and Yauseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
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 saw it, they made known the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Badisa ba bolelela mongwe le mongwe kaga se se diragetseng le se moengele o se ba boleletseng kaga ngwana yo.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Botlhe ba ba utlwileng polelo ya badisa ba gakgamala.
19 But Maryam kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Mme Marea a baya dilo tse mo pelong ya gagwe ka tidimalo mme a akanya kaga tsone gantsi.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told 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 were fulfilled to circumcise him, his name was called Yeshua, which was given by the angel before he was conceived 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 When the days of their purification according to the Law of Mushe were fulfilled, they brought him up to Urishlim, 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 the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb will 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 to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the Law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves, 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 And look, there was a man in Urishlim whose name was Shimon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israyel, and the Rukha d'Qudsha was on 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 It had been revealed to him by the Rukha d'Qudsha that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Meshikha.
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 He came in the Rukha into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Yeshua, that they might do concerning him according to the requirement 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 then he received him into 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 you are releasing your servant, Lord, according to your 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 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israyel."
Ke lesedi le le tlaa phatshimelang dichaba, e bile o tlaa nna kgalalelo mo bathong ba gago ba Iseraele!”
33 And his father and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him,
Marea le Josefe ba ema fela foo, ba gakgamalela se se buiwang kaga Jesu.
34 and Shimon blessed them, and said to Maryam, his mother, "Look, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israyel, 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 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
36 There was one Khana, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
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 she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Urishlim.
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 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galila, to their own city, Natsrath.
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 The child was growing, and was becoming strong, being filled with wisdom, and the favor 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 His parents went every year to Urishlim 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 When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the feast,
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Yeshua stayed behind in Urishlim. His parents did not know it,
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 supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
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 When they did not find him, they returned to Urishlim, looking for him.
Mme ya re ba sa mmone, ba boela kwa Jerusalema go ya go mmatla teng.
46 It happened after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them 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 who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Look, your father and I were anxiously looking for you."
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 said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be doing the works of my Father?"
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 They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Mme ba bo ba sa tlhaloganye gore o raya jang.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Natsrath. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Hong a boela kwa Nasaretha le bone a ba utlwa; mme mmaagwe a boloka dilo tse tsotlhe mo pelong ya gagwe.
52 And Yeshua increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
Mme Jesu a gola a nna moleele ebile a le botlhale, mme a ratwa ke Modimo le batho.
