Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be registered.
Pwu ifigono ifyo, yikhahumila ukhuta Ukaisari Agusto akhahumya ululagilo lwa alikuvavula ukhuta yitowwe mbalilo ya vanu voni avitama nkilunga.
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
Iyi yale mbalilo ya kwanda vyuyavombiwe imisikhi gya kvenio vu imbaha va Siria.
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
Pwu kila munu uviavinchaga akhaluta khukhilunga kya mwene kusimba mbalilo.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
Nu Yusufu akhaga novope mkhilungwe kya Nasaleti ya Mgalilaya pwu ali khugenda mkhilunga kya mbetelehemu, kya manyikhikhe ukhuta khilunga kya Ndaveti, ulwakhuva ahumile mu khikholo kya Ndaveli.
5 to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
Akhalufa ukhwa khukhisimba paninie nu Maliya, uvi uyu ali ng'ija va mwene khange alikhwihuvila umwana.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
Pwu yikhahumila ukhuta, vuvalyukhu unsikhi gwa mwene gwa khuhola umwana gukhe fikhe.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swathing-clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Akhifungula umwana undemi, ung'oliwa va mwene uva khwanja, akhamfwalincha imienda yilekha ukhwingila imepu umwana pwa akhambikha mlitenchi ilya khulela ifikonu, ulwakhuva yikhasikuli inyumba ya vugenji.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
Pwu apene apo, valepo avademi vali khutama khufyalo valikudema ifipuga fya Ng'osi ncha vene pakhilo.
9 And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.
Gafla, usungwa va Nkuludeva akhavahumila, nu lumuli lwa Nkuludeva lukhamulikha ukhuvanchungula, pwu vakhava nu vudwanchi fincho.
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not; for lo! I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to the whole people;
Pwu usung'wa akhavavula, mlekhe ukhudwada, ulwakhuva ni khuvagegela inongwa imonu iyuyigega uluhekhelo uluvaha khivanu voni.
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
Ilelo umpokhi aholiwe khuliumwe mkhilunga kya Daveli! Umwene vi Nkristi Unkuludeva!
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
Ikhi khyu khimanyilo ni khuvapa, mkumbona umwana apinyiwe imyanda igona mkhitanchi kya khulisihincha ifikanu.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Gafla khkha na avasikhali vingi ilya khukhyanya likhalungana nane usung'wa uywa valikunginia Unguluve, valinkuta, “Uvuvalanche vwa Unguluve uvyahikhu khyanya fincho nu hinonchehencho luve Nkilunga kuvoni uvu onongwa.”
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
15 And it came to pass, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said one to another, Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see that which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.
Pwu yikheva Avasungwa avile vahegile ukhuluta khukhyanya, avademi vakhincho fanji vako, “Tuvukhe lino kwu Betelehemu, tu khalole ikhinu ikhi ikhihumile, ambacho Bwana ametufahamisha.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Vagaha khimbivi mbivi ukhu vakhembona Umaliya nu Yusufu, pwu vakha mbona nu mwana igona mu khetenchi kya fiko.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
Vavila valolile evwo vakhavavula avanu ikyu vavuliwe khu mwana.
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
Voni avapulike inongwa iyi valikudega ikhichovivwe ni vademi.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Pwu Umaliya alikupisaga khugoni ugwo apulikhe, akhagavikha munumbula ya mwene.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
Avademi vakhavuya nu khuginia Unguluve kwu fyoni ifyu vapulikhe nu khulola, nduvu vwu lilikhuchovivwa khuvone.
21 And when eight days were completed for him to be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Kyavilekhefikhe ikhigono ikya nene gwale gunsikhi gwa ukhukeketa umwana, vakhamwilanga ilitavwa lya mwene vi Yisu, ilitavwa ilyu ampile unsung'wa vusahifikhe uvuchitu mwitumbu.
22 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
Inchavene inchilikulunchiwa uvuvalanche vu chilutile, ukhukongana ni ndagilo cha Mose, u Yusufu nu Maliya vukhangilikha khutembile khukhumbikha khuvulongolo kwa Nkuludeva.
23 as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
Nduvu yisimbiwe mndagilo cha nuludeva, “Khila ngosi uvi idindula ilitumbu ikhwilangiwa uvinchumichiwe nekhelo kwu kuludeva.”
24 and to offer a sacrifice, according to what is directed in the law of the Lord: “A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.”
Na vope valikhwicha kwihumya inekhelo ukhukongana ni kyu khicho vivwa mu ndagila vha Nkuludeva, “Injiva au ifyana fya Njiva.”
25 And lo! there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and he was a righteous and devout man, waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him;
Lola, pale nu munu mu Yelusalemu ailangivwaga vi Simeoni, umunu uyu ali nu wayilweli munu va Nguluve. Umwene alikupu likhila uvakuchesya mu Israeli, nu mepo umbalawe ale khumwene.
26 and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
Yikhadenduliwe khumwene ukhugendela kwa mepo umbalache ukhuta umwene sakhale ifwa vwu sambwene Ukristi va Nkuludeva.
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
Ikhigono ikhinge akhicha mgati mtembile, akhalongochiwa nu mepu umbalache upwu avahonchi vakhandata umwana, Yesu, ukhumbombela gala aginogiwa ukhukongana ni ndagilo,
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
pwu Simoni akhamwupilila mmavoko ga mwene, akhaginia Unguluve nu khuta,
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
“Lino ing'eche umbonbi vakho alutage nu lunochehecho lwa Ntwa, ukhuvongano ni limenyu lyako.
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Ukhwakhuva miho gango gavuwene uvupokhi vwakho,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
uvwo vuvonikhe pamiho gavanu voni.
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Umwene ve humhli kuluvonekhelo khufihunga nu vuvalache vwa vane va Israeli.”
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
Udada ni mama va mwana vulikudeva imbombo ichilikhuchovi vwa kwu mwene.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that will be spoken against; —
Pwu Usimoni akhavasaya akhatakhwa Maliya umamaye, “Pulihicha vunonu umwana uyu yiva nongwa ya khuyancha nu khupokha kwu vanu vingi mu OIsraeli khange khimanyilo ikhyu ikhi avanu vingi ya vi becha. Khange panga iyu yikave yi nyanya inyivonelo chakho yuve, yive amasago ga numbula ya vingi yivonesye.”
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel: of the tribe of Asher; she was of great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
Unyamalago udala uvialikwilanyiwa Ana nevopo alemwo mtembile. Umwene ale mwana va Fanueli ukhuhuma mkhivumbu kho kya asheri. Ale ni figono fingi ficho. Navope alikhutama nu gosi va mwene imiaka saba vuvatoline,
37 and she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
pwu akha ijane imiakha themanini na minne. Navope sagala ahage mtembile alikhugendelela ukhudova Unguluve nu khudova, pakhilo na pamusi.
38 And she came up at this very time, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
Khunsikhu ug'wa akhicha pala upwu valipwo akhatengula ukhundimya Unguluve. Alikhuchova inongwa cha mwana kwu munu nu munu uviavechaga uvialikhugulila uvupokhi vwa Yerusalemu.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Vuvamalile kila khila khinu ikhyu khinogiwa ukhuvomba ukhukongana ni ndagilo cha Nkuludeva, vakhakhivokha kwu Galilaya, kwu khilunga kya vene, Nazareti.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
Umwana akhekula, akhava na makha, alikhukula nu luhala, nu luhunga lwa Nguluve lukhava khumwene.
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Avahochi va mwene gunafike umwakha valikhula khu Yerusalemu kwu sikhukhuu ya Pasaka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
Avile iva ni miakha kumiho miwili, vakhaluta khange khu nsikhi gwa nyiho kwu sikhukhuu.
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
Vu vasigile isikhu choni kwu sikhukhuu, vakhatengula ukhuvuya khumiavo, pwu udemi u Yisu akha sigala khusana Myerusalemu khange avahochi savakhalumanya.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
Valikhuta pwale alimlipuga ilivali kugendania, pwu vakhagenda ficho ulugendo lwa sikhu. Pwu vakhatengula ukhuhunela muvalukhulo lwavo, mvamanyani.
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
Vavile valemwile ukhumbona, vakhaki lwukha kwu Yerusalemu pwu vakhatengula ukhundanda umwa.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
Yikhahumila ukhuta vuchifikhe iskhu itetu, vakhambona Mtembile, achige atamila pagati pa vamanyisi, ikhuvapulihiche nu kuvavucha.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
Voni uvuva mpulihiche valikhudega nu luhala lwa mwene ni nyandilo che mwene.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed; and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have been seeking thee in much distress.
Vuvile vumbwene, valikudega. Uvanina akhambula, “Manango, khekhiutuvombile evwo? Pulihicha udada vakha nayune tulikhukhulonda nu vudwachi vuvaha.”
49 And he said to them, Why is it that ye have been seeking me? Did ye not know that I must be about my Father's business?
Akhavanda, “Khekhi mlikhondonda? Samukhalumanye ukhuta une nive kwu nyumba ya Dada vango?
50 And they understood not what he spoke to them.
Pope savakhalumanya inogwa ukhuta khekhi mmanyu aga.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
Pu akhahega paninie na vene, ukhu fikha khumyavoyo kwu Nazareti khange ale mwidihichi khuvene. Uvanina akhavikha aga munumbula ya mwene.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Pwu Yisu alikhula nu luhala na kutoga, nu khuganiwa nu Nguluve na vanu.
