< Luke 2 >

1 Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole empire should be enrolled.
Gene mobhago, a Kaishali bhashemwaga a Augushito, bhakulungwa bhakulu bha upalume gwa Shiloma bhashinkulajiya bhalikwaapinganga bhandunji bhowe bhalinginji muupalume gwabho bhakajandikwanje.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Kwene kujandikwako pukwaaliji kutandubha kwene kuumila a Kileniashi pubhaaliji bhakulungwa bha shilambo sha ku Shilia.
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
Bhai bhowe bhapinjikwenje gubhapitengenenje kuujandikwa kila mundu kushilambo shakwe shabhelekwe.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;
A Yoshepu nabhalabho ni gubhajabhwile ku Nashaleti, shilambo sha ku Galilaya, pabha pubhaaliji bha ulongo bha shipinga shimo na bhakulungwa a Daudi, gubhapite ku Bheteleemu shilambo sha ku Yudea kubhabhelekwe bhakulungwa a Daudi.
5 to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him, being pregnant.
Gubhapite kuujandikwa na bha ntemela gwabho a Malia bhali na shitumbo.
6 It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.
Bhalinginji ku Bheteleemu, lyubha lyabho lya kwiigopola likuishilaga,
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.
gubhankwete mwana lielo lyabho, gubhanng'washiye nngubho shinambombe, gubhanngoneshe pa lila ng'ombe, pabha bhakapatilenjeje pa gona nnyumba ja bhajeninji.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Tome na ku Bheteleemu bhashinkupagwanga bhashunga bhatamanganaga mukonde, shilo bhalinginji muulinda gwa ngondolo yabhonji.
9 And look, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Malaika jwa a Nnungu gwabhakoposhelenje na Ukonjelo gwa Bhakulungwa a Nnungu ukwamulishilangaga powe. Gubhatengukenje.
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.
Ikabheje malaika gwabhalugulilenje, “Nnatengukanje! Pabha njikwiya kummalanjilanga ngani ja mmbone, jakwaanonyelanga bhandu bhowe.
11 For there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ, the Lord.
Lelo nshilambo sha a Daudi ashibhelekwa nkutapula jwenunji, jwenejo ni Kilishitu ali Nkulungwa.
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
Na sheshino shishibhe shilangulo shenunji. Shimunng'imananje nambombe awashiywe nngubho ya shinambombe, agonekwe pa lila ng'ombe.”
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying,
Shangupe likundi lyalikulungwa lya ashimalaika bhananji bha kunnungu bhakwiilundangaga pamo naka malaika jula, bhalikwainiyanga a Nnungu bhalinkutinji.
14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward humankind."
“Bhakuywe a Nnungu kunani kunnunungu, Na pa shilambolyo pabhe na ulele, ku bhandu bhakwaanonyelanga.”
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 Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."
Ashimalaika bhala, bhakajabhulanganeje kubhuja kunnungu, bhashunga gubhabhalanjilenenje. “Twendangananje ku Bheteleemu tukalibhone lyene likoposhele libhatubhalanjile Bhakulungwa.”
16 They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Bhai, gubhapitengenenje lubhilo, gubhaimenenje a Malia na a Yoshepu naka nambombe jula agonekwe pa lila ng'ombe.
17 When they saw it, they made known the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Bhashunga bhakammonanjeje mwana jula gubhaalungushiyenje bhandu bhowe ngani jakwe jibhapilikenenje jila.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Bhowe bhapilikenenje jene ngani jibhalugulilwangaga na bhashungajo bhala gubhakanganigwenje.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Ikabheje a Malia gubhagabhishile gowe muntima akuno bhaliganishiya.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Bhashunga bhala gubhabhujengenenje, akuno bhalikwakuyanga na kwaainiya a Nnungu, kwa gowe gubhapilikenenje na kugabhona, gashinkubha malinga shibhalugulilwenje.
21 When eight days were fulfilled to circumcise him, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Gakamalileje mobha nane mwana gwatagwile unyago, gubhanshemilenje lina lyakwe Yeshu, lina lyapegwilwe na malaika jwa a Nnungu, akwabhe bhakanabhe jukuta shitumbo.
22 When the days of their purification according to the Law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord
Lukapiteje luuko, malinga Shalia ja a Musha shijilajila, a Yoshepu na akongobhabho a Malia gubhampelekenje mwana ku Yelushalemu kukunkamuya ku Bhakulungwa,
23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb will be called holy to the Lord"),
malinga Shalia ja Bhakulungwa shijishite, “Kila mwana jwa lielo jwannume shaabhe jwa ukonjelo jwa Bhakulungwa.”
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."
Nneila peila gubhashoshiyenje mbepei ya nnjubha ibhili eu mabhunda gabhili ga ngunda, malinga Shalia ja Bhakulungwa shijapingaga.
25 And look, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
Gene mobhago ku Yelushalemu bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo, pubhaliji bhandu bha aki na bhatendaga kwaatindibhalila a Nnungu, pubhashemwaga a Shimoni. Bhenebho bhatendaga lolela gwa lilaka ntapulo gwa bha Ishilaeli. Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo paaliji pamo na bhenebho alikwaataga ntima.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo ashinkwaibhulila kuti bhakawa bhakanabhe kummona Kilishitu jwa Bhakulungwa.
27 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the requirement of the Law,
Bhai bhalilongoywa na Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, a Shimoni gubhapite ku Liekalu. A Yoshepu na akongobhabho, gubhampelekenje mwana Yeshu Nniekalu kukuntendela malinga nkubho gwa Shalia ja a Musha shijapingaga.
28 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
A Shimoni gubhamposhele mwana Yeshu jula mmakono gabho, akuno bhalikwakuya a Nnungu, bhalinkuti.
29 "Now you are releasing your servant, Lord, according to your word, in peace;
“Mmakulungwa nnaino malagano genu gamalile, Mpingaga munneshe ntumishi jwenu akapumulile kwa ulele malinga shimwalajile.
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
Pabha meyo gangu gaubhweni ntapulo gwenu,
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
gummishile tayali ku bhandu bha ilambo yowe,
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel."
sheneshi ni shilangaya shipinga kwaamulishilanga bhandu bhangali kubha Bhayaudi, na Ukonjelo ku bhandu bhenu bha Ishilaeli.”
33 And his father and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him,
Ainamundu na akwabhe Yeshu gubhakanganigwenje kwa malobhe gabheleketwe kwa ligongo lika mwana.
34 and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, "Look, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
A Shimoni gubhaapelenje mboka, gubhaalugulile a Malia, akwabhe Yeshu, “Aju mwanaju ashibhelekwa kwa ligongo lya kutuluywa na kukuywa kwa bhandu bhabhagwinji nshilambo sha Ishilaeli. Na jweneju shaabhe shilapo shipinga kanwa na bhandu.
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
Kwa nneyo ng'aniyo ya bhandu bhabhagwinji ipinga bhoneka gwangali nng'iyo! Na mmwe mmayene ntima gwenu upinga kumpoteka mbuti nng'omilwe na lipanga.”
36 There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
Bhashinkupagwa bhakongwe bhamo bhakongopa, a nkulondola bha a Nnungu lina lyabho a Ana abhiti a Panueli bha shipinga sha a Asheli. Bhashinkulombwa nitama nshilombani yaka shabha ambunjebhabho ni gubhawile.
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.
Gubhatemi nshitenga yaka makumi nane na nsheshe. Mobha gowego mubhatamaga Nniekalu bhalitabha nkwaajuga a Nnungu shilo na mui.
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 Jerusalem.
Popo pego, gubhaikopweye mmujo, gubhatendile eja kwa a Nnungu na gubhalungwiye ngani jika jwene mwanajo kubhandu bhowe bhatemingenenje nkulindilila kutapulwa kwa Yelushalemu.
39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
Ainamundu na anyinamundu bhakatendanjeje yowe yalajilwe na Shalia ja Bhakulungwa, gubhabhujengene kunngwabhonji ku Nashaleti nshilambo sha ku Galilaya.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong, being filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.
Mwana gwakulile, gwapundile kukola mashili, gwagumbele lunda na nema ja a Nnungu pujaaliji naka jwenejo.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
Ainamundu na anyinamundu malinga shigwaliji nkubho gwabhonji gwa kwenda ku Yelushalemu kila shaka mobha ga shikukuu ja Shiyaudi jishemwa Pashaka.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the feast,
Yeshu akaishileje yaka likumi limo na ibhili malinga shigwaliji nkubho gwabhonji bhowe gubhajombokenje kwenda kushikukuu.
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,
Shikapiteje shikukuu, gubhatandubhenje mwanja gwa bhuja kunngwabhonji, ikabheje Yeshu gwalepeshe ku Yelushalemu, gwangali ainagwe na akwabhe kumumanyanga.
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.
Pubhaganishiyangaga kuti mwali munkumbi gwa bhandu, gubhapitengenenje mwanja gwa totolo, kungai gubhatandubhenje kunnoleya kubhaulongo na kwa ashaambwiga ajabhonji.
45 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
Pabha bhangammonanga, gubhabhujengenenje ku Yelushalemu pita kunnoleya.
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.
Lyubha lya tatu, gubhanng'imenenje ku Liekalu ali atemi munkumbi gwa bhaajiganya bha Shalia alikwaapilikanishiyanga akuno alikwaabhuyanga.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Bhowe bhapilikenenje malobhe gakwe, bhashinkulapanga kwa ijangulo yakwe na lunda lwakwe.
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."
Ainagwe na akwabhe bhashinkukanganigwanga bhakammonanjeje. Akwabhe a Malia gubhammushiye, “Gwe mwanangu, kwa nndi ushikututenda nnei? Nne na ainago tushikuuloleya kwa lipamba.”
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?"
Jwalakwe gwabhajangwilenje, “Kwa nndi mmanganya kunoleyanga? Nkakumumanyanga kuti nne ngunapinjikwa nnyumba ja Atati?”
50 They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Ikabheje bhankwetenje bhangagamanyanga malombolelo ga malobhe gabhaalugulilenje gala.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Bhai gubhalongenenajonji kubhuja ku Nashaleti, gwapundile kwaakundanga. Akwabhe gubhagabhishile muntima gene gowego.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
Na jwalakwe Yeshu gwapundile kukula kwa shanga na lunda, gwapundile kupingwa na a Nnungu na bhandunji.
