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.
Lyahanu mwa ana mazuva, ni kweza za Ceaser Augusto na tuma sikwata ku laera kuti kuve ni cipalo ca ku vala vantu vonse mwi nkanda.
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
Ichi chivali chipalo cha hentanzi chiva pangahali kwa Quirinius havali muyendisi we nkanda ya Siriya.
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
Lyahanu zimwi ni zumwi naya ku toropo yakwe ku ku ka ñolisa ku chipalo.
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,
Josefa naye na yenda kuzwa kwa Galileya, kuzwa ku toropo ya Nazareta. kuya kwa Judeya, kwi totopo ya Davita i va ku sumpwa Betelehema, mukunti avali ku zwilila ku luzuvo lwa Davita.
5 to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
Na enda ko kuka liñolisa hamwina ni Mariya iye yaava veeleze avali hindite.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
Linu ni yeza inako, havava ku sina koko, niya ba inako ya yakwe ya kuletwa kwa mucice.
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.
Na leta mwana shwisu, we ntazi, cha mu vungila mu majira male, linu na mulazika muchililo che ñombe, mukuti kahena ku vena chivaka cha masikilo.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
Kuvena valisi vamitapi vavena mweco chilalo mu mumawa, vava ku lalila mitapi yavo masiku.
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.
Iñeloi lya Simwine ni lyalivonahaza ku vali, ni kwava ni nkanya ya Simwine iva niya pazima kuva zimbuluka, imi vava tite tota.
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;
Linu iñeloi nilya va cho kuti, musiye ku tiya, mukuti twa mi letela liinzwi i ilotu, lyete lilete ku sanga ku kando ku vantu vonse.
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
Sunu muhazi ava letwa kwenu mwi toropo ya Davida! Nji Keresite Simwine.
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
Ichi nji chisupo chete nichi hewe kwenu, mu mu wane muchiche yo zingeletwe muma jira u lazikite muchililo ce ñombe.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Hahaho ni iñeloi ni lina ko kuvena vuungi bwe mpi izwa kwiwulu ivali ku lumbeka Ireza, ni icho,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
“Inkanya kwa Ireza mulena wa mawulu, mi kuve ni nkozo hansi mukati ka vantu va tavela.”
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.
Nikweza hakuti mañeloi ha a yenda kuzwa ku vali kuya kwi wulu, valisi ni vali ambila, tu yende kwa Betelehema, kuka vona ichi chintu chiva chitahali, icho chava twi zivisi Simwine.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Niva hwelela kwateni ni vaka wana Mariya ni Josefa, ni ku vona lukeke lu lele muchililo.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
Haba mana kumu vona, ni ve zibahaza chi vava wambilwe ku likana nozu muhwile.
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
Vonse vava izuwi ni ba makala ku chiva wambitwe kuzwa ku balisi.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Kono Maliya na zwila havusu ku zeza zintu zonse za va zuwi, ku zi vika mu nkulo yakwe.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
Balisi niva vola, ni va chenchelela ni ku lumba Ireza cha zintu zonse zi vava zuwi ni ku vona, uvu mu ku va wambilwa ku vali.
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.
Hakuva kuma mani-mani e zuva li hinda iyanza ni otatwe, ha citwa mupato, na vikwa izina lwa Jesu, izina lyava hewa ku mañeloi naseni ku vumbwa mwi vumo.
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,
Impalo ya mazuva ava sakahere ku kulijoloza kwavo ha i hita, kakuya cha mulao wa Mushe, Josefa ni Maliya ni va muleta kwi tempere mwa Jerusalema ku muleta havusu vwakwe kwa Simwine.
23 as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
Muku ñolelwe mu mulawo wa Simwine, “umwi ne umwi mwana shisu wi yalula lupepo mwa vikwe kumbali kwa Simwine”.
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.”
Linu chivaha chitavelo chavo kakuya mukuva telwa mu mulao wa Simwine, “inkuva zovele kamba imkwilimba inini zo vele”
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;
Muvone, kuvena mukwame mwa Jerusalema izina lakwe avali nji Simioni imi uzu mukwame ava shiyeme ni ku li neela. Ava lolelele muhazi wa Isiraere, imi luhuho lu jolola luvena hali.
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.
Iva ungulwilwe kwali cha luhuho lujolola kuti kete na vone lufu naseni ku vona Keresite wa Simwine.
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,
Che nkelelo ya luhuho, Simiyoni neza mwi tempele. Bazazi hava leta lukeke Jesu, ku mu chita cha kuya ka sico cha mulao,
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
na mu hinda mu mavoko akwe ni ku lumbeka Ireza mi na cho,
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
Hanu u siye muhikana ko a yende mu nkozo, Simwine, chakuya cha liinzwi lyako.
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Mukuti menso angu ava voni impuluso yako,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
yo va bakanyi mwi muvusu vwa vantu vonse:
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Mumuni we nsinulo kuva sa zumini ni nkanya ku vantu vako Isiraere.”
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
Vesi wa muhwile ni vanyina vava makele ka zintu ziva li ku wambiwa ku amana naye.
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; —
Simiyoni cha va fuyola na cho kwa Mariya inyina wakwe, “Vone, uzu muhwile ketelwe kuwa ni ku vuka kwa vantu vangi mwa Isiraere imi cha chisupo chi kanitwe-
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
mi ilumo mu li hweze mu luhuho lwako-mukuti muzezelo we nkulo zingi ku letwe he nkanza.
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;
Muporofita wa mwanakazi ava ku sumpwa Anna kwavena. Avali mwana wa Fanuwelu yozwa ku mushovo wa Asha. Ava supele luli.
37 and she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
Ava hali ni mwihyabwe ka zilimo zi hinda iyanza ni zovele. imi avali mufwilwa cha zilimo zina makumi a hinda iyaza ni makumi o tatwe ni zone. Kana ava ku siya itempere kono avali ku tendela cha kulinyima zilyo ni ntapelo, masiku ni kamwi.
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.
Cho wo muzuzu, cheza kuvali ni kutanga kuha vuitumero kwa Ireza mi na wamba ka za muhwile ku zumwi ni zumwi yava lindile ku hazwa kwa Jerusalema.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Linu hava mana zonse zivavali lukela ku chita ka kuya ka mulao wa Simwine, niva vola kwa Galileya, kwi toropo yavo ya Nazareta.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
Muhwile na kula ni kuva yo kolete, na ekeza ku vutali, ni chishemo cha Ireza chivena hakwe.
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Vazazi vakwe vava kuyendanga chilimo ni chilimo kwa Jerusalema ku mukiti we mpaseka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
Ha va ni zilimo zine ikumi ni zovele, hape niva yenda kuya ke nako ya chizo ku mukiti.
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
Have kala mazuva avalwa ezwile a mukiti, niva tanga ku voola ku muzi. Imi mushisu nashala mumasule mwa Jerusalema mi vazazi vakwe kena vave zivi.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
Chiva zeza kuti wina mukati ka chikwata ca vamwi vava vali kuyenda navo, imi niva yenda lwendo lwe zuva lyonke. Linu ni va tanga ku mu lola mukati ka vakwavo ni bamwakwe.
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
Hava mu vula, niva vola kwa Jerusalema ni ku tanga kumu lola kwateni.
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.
Nikwahi ta mazuva otatwe, chi va muwana mwi tempere, ne kele mukati ka muruti, nava tekete ni kuva vuza impuzo.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
Vonse vava zuwi ku amana naye ni va makala ha ku zuwisisa kwakwe ni nkalabo za kwe.
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.
Havu muvona, ni va makala. Vanyina ni vawamba kwali, “Mwanangu, cinzi hawatu cita vuti? Teke, veso neme tuva ku ku saka saka.”
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?
Nati kuvali, “Cinzi hamu kwete kuni saka? kana muvezivi kuti ni lukela kuva munzuvo ivandanda?”
50 And they understood not what he spoke to them.
Kono kena vava zuwisisi cha va talusi chawo manzwi.
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.
Imi chayenda kuvola kumunzi navo kwa Nazareta ni kuli voza hansi ku vali. Banyina ni va ungula izi zintu zonse munkulo yavo.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Linu Jesu na zwila havusu ku kula cha vutali ni ku wera ku chiyemo, ni wera ku chishemo ni Ireza ni vantu.
