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.
Awo olwatuuka mu biseera ebyo, Kayisaali Agusito n’ayisa etteeka abantu bonna beewandiisa.
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
Okubala kuno kwe kwasooka okubaawo ku mulembe gwa Kuleniyo nga ye gavana w’Obusuuli.
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
Bonna ne bagenda okwewandiisa, buli muntu mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe.
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,
Awo Yusufu n’ava e Nazaaleesi eky’e Ggaliraaya, n’agenda mu kibuga kya Dawudi ekiyitibwa Besirekemu eky’e Buyudaaya, kubanga yali wa mu kika kya Dawudi,
5 to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
yeewandiise ne Maliyamu eyali olubuto, oyo gwe yali ayogereza.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
Naye bwe baali bali eyo ekiseera kya Maliyamu eky’okuzaala ne kituuka.
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.
N’azaala omwana we omubereberye omulenzi, n’amubikka mu bugoye, n’amuzazika mu lutiba ente mwe ziriira, kubanga tebaafuna kifo mu nnyumba y’abagenyi.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
Mu kiro ekyo waaliwo abasumba abaali mu kitundu ekyo kye kimu ku ttale nga bakuuma endiga zaabwe.
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.
Awo malayika wa Mukama n’abalabikira, ne waakaayakana n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama, ne batya nnyo.
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;
Malayika n’abagumya nti, “Temutya, kubanga mbaleetedde amawulire amalungi ag’essanyu eringi, era nga ga bantu bonna.
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
Kubanga Omulokozi, ye Kristo Mukama waffe azaaliddwa leero mu kibuga kya Dawudi.
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
Ku kino kwe munaamutegeerera: Mujja kulaba omwana omuwere, ng’abikkiddwa mu ngoye, ng’azazikiddwa mu lutiba lw’ente.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Amangwago eggye lya bamalayika ab’omu ggulu ne beegatta ne malayika oyo ne batendereza Katonda nga bagamba nti,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
“Ekitiibwa kibe eri Katonda Ali Waggulu ennyo. N’emirembe gibe mu nsi eri abantu Katonda b’asiima.”
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.
Awo bamalayika bwe baamala okuddayo mu ggulu, abasumba ne bateesa nti, “Tugende e Besirekemu tulabe kino ekibaddewo, Mukama ky’atutegeezezza.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Ne bayanguwa ne bagenda, ne balaba Maliyamu ne Yusufu, n’omwana omuwere ng’azazikiddwa mu lutiba lw’ente.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
Awo abasumba ne bategeeza bye baalabye, n’ebya bategeezeddwa ebikwata ku mwana oyo.
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
Bonna abaawulira ebigambo by’abasumba ne beewuunya nnyo.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Naye Maliyamu n’akuumanga ebigambo ebyo mu mutima gwe era ng’abirowoozaako nnyo.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
Awo abasumba ne baddayo gye balundira ebisibo byabwe, nga bagulumiza era nga batendereza Katonda, olw’ebyo byonna bye baawulira era ne bye baalaba nga bwe baali bategeezeddwa.
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.
Olunaku olw’omunaana olw’okukomolerwako bwe lwatuuka, n’atuumibwa erinnya Yesu, malayika lye yayogera nga Yesu tannaba kuba mu lubuto lwa nnyina.
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,
Awo ekiseera bwe kyatuuka Maliyamu okugenda mu Yeekaalu atukuzibwe, ng’amateeka ga Musa bwe galagira ne batwala Yesu e Yerusaalemi okumuwaayo eri Mukama.
23 as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
Kubanga mu mateeka ago, Katonda yalagira nti, “Omwana omubereberye bw’anaabanga omulenzi, anaaweebwangayo eri Mukama.”
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.”
Era mu kiseera kye kimu bakadde ba Yesu ne bawaayo ssaddaaka amateeka nga bwe galagira okuwaayo amayiba abiri oba enjiibwa bbiri.
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;
Ku lunaku olwo, waaliwo omusajja erinnya lye Simyoni, eyabeeranga mu Yerusaalemi, nga mutuukirivu, ng’atya Katonda, era ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu, ng’alindirira okusanyusibwa kwa Isirayiri.
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.
Kubanga yali abikkuliddwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu nti tagenda kufa nga tannalaba ku Kristo, Omulokozi.
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,
Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’amuluŋŋamya okujja mu Yeekaalu. Maliyamu ne Yusufu bwe baaleeta Omwana Yesu okumuwaayo eri Mukama ng’amateeka bwe galagira, ne Simyoni naye yaliwo.
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simyoni n’ajja n’asitula Omwana mu mikono gye, n’atendereza Katonda ng’agamba nti,
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
“Mukama wange, kaakano osiibule omuweereza wo mirembe, ng’ekigambo kyo bwe kigamba.
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Kubanga amaaso gange galabye Obulokozi bwo,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
bwe wateekateeka mu maaso g’abantu bonna,
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
okuba Omusana ogw’okwakira amawanga. N’okuleetera abantu bo Abayisirayiri ekitiibwa!”
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
Kitaawe w’omwana ne nnyina ne beewuunya ebigambo ebyayogerwa ku Yesu.
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; —
Awo Simyoni n’abasabira omukisa. N’alyoka n’agamba Maliyamu nti, “Omwana ono bangi mu Isirayiri tebagenda kumukkiriza, era alireetera bangi okugwa n’abalala ne bayimusibwa.
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Era naawe ennaku eri ng’ekitala erikufumita omutima, n’ebirowoozo by’omu mitima gy’abantu birimanyibwa.”
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;
Waaliwo nnabbi omukazi, ayitibwa Ana, muwala wa Fanweri, ow’omu kika kya Aseri, era nga mukadde nnyo, eyafumbirwa nga muwala muto n’amala ne bba emyaka musanvu gyokka, bba n’afa,
37 and she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
n’asigala nga nnamwandu. Mu kiseera kino yali yaakamala emyaka kinaana mu ena, era teyavanga mu Yeekaalu ng’asiiba n’okwegayiriranga Katonda emisana n’ekiro.
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.
Awo Ana mu kiseera ekyo yali ayimiridde okumpi ne Maliyamu ne Yusufu, naye n’atandika okutendereza Katonda ng’amwogerako eri abo bonna abaali balindirira okununulibwa kwa Yerusaalemi.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Awo bakadde ba Yesu bwe baamala okutuukiriza byonna ng’amateeka ga Mukama bwe galagira, ne baddayo e Nazaaleesi eky’omu Ggaliraaya.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
Omwana n’akula, n’aba w’amaanyi, n’ajjuzibwa amagezi n’ekisa kya Katonda kyali ku ye.
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Bakadde ba Yesu buli mwaka bagendanga mu Yerusaalemi ku Mbaga y’Okuyitako.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
Awo Yesu bwe yaweza emyaka kkumi n’ebiri egy’obukulu n’ayambuka e Yerusaalemi ne bakadde be ku mbaga, nga empisa yaabwe bwe yali.
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
Awo embaga ng’ewedde, ne bakyusa okuddayo ewaabwe, naye omulenzi Yesu n’asigala mu Yerusaalemi, naye bazadde be ne batakimanya.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
Kubanga baalowooza nti ali ne bannaabwe mu kibiina ekirala, ekiro ekyo bwe bataamulaba, ne bamunoonya mu kibiina omwali baganda baabwe ne mikwano gyabwe.
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
Bwe bataamulaba kwe kuddayo e Yerusaalemi nga bamunoonya.
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.
Awo nga baakamunoonyeza ennaku ssatu, ne bamusanga ng’atudde mu Yeekaalu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ng’abawuliriza awamu n’okubabuuza ebibuuzo.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
Bonna abaali bamuwuliriza ne beewuunya nnyo olw’amagezi ge n’okuddamu 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.
Awo bazadde be bwe baamulaba ne beewuunya nnyo, nnyina n’amugamba nti, “Mwana waffe otukoze ki kino? Kitaawo nange tweraliikiridde nnyo nga tukunoonya!”
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?
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mubadde munnoonyeza ki? Temwategedde nga kiŋŋwanidde okukola ebintu bya Kitange?”
50 And they understood not what he spoke to them.
Naye ne batategeera bigambo ebyo bye yabagamba.
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.
N’asituka n’agenda nabo e Nazaaleesi, n’abagonderanga; kyokka nnyina ebigambo ebyo byonna n’abikuuma mu mutima gwe.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Awo Yesu n’akula mu mubiri, mu magezi, era n’alaba ekisa mu maaso ga Katonda ne mu maaso g’abantu.
