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.
Lukumbi lwenulo, Agusiti mweavi nkosi mkulu wa vankosi va unkosi va ku Loma, alagizili vandu voha vayandikwa muchitabu.
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
Kuyandakiswa kwenuko kwakita kutumbukana, na lukumbi lwenulo Kulenio avi chilongosi wa ku Silia.
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
Kila mundu, akahamba kumuji waki muni ajiyandikisayi.
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,
Na Yosefu mewa akawuka pamuji wa Nazaleti wewavi kumulima wa Galilaya, akahamba kumuji wa Betelehemu wewavi pamulima wa ku Yudea, kweavelikiwi nkosi Daudi.
5 to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
Akahamba kuyandakiswa pamonga na maliya mweavimchumba waki, mweavi na ndumbu.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
Pevavi ku Betelehemu ligono laki likahika akavya na mwana.
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.
Akaveleka mwana waki mtumbulanu mwana mgosi, akamtindisila tunyula twa vana, kangi akamgonesa muwatu wa kulisila mifuya, ndava vapati lepi fwasi munyumba za vayehe.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
Pamulima wenuwo kwavi na vadimaji vevatama pandu pa kudimila na kulindalila mambelele gavi cha kupishana kilu.
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.
Mtumu wa Chapanga akavahumila na lumuli lukulu lwa Bambu lwavalangasili, pandu poha. Vayogwipi neju.
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;
Nambu Mtumu wa Chapanga akavajovela, “Mkotoka kuyogopa! Myuwanayi nivaletili lilovi la bwina la luheku neju kwa vandu voha va Paisilaeli.
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
Muni lelu pamuji wa Daudi avelikiwi msangula winu, Kilisitu ndi Bambu.
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
Na ulangisu wa kummanya ndi uwu, yati mukumkolela mwana vamtindisili tunyula twa vana vamgonisi muwatu wa kulisila mifuya.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Bahapo msambi wa vamitumu vangi va kunani vakawungana na mtumi mwenuyo vakamulumba Chapanga na kujova,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
“Alumbiwayi Chapanga kunani, na uteke uvyaa pamulima kwa vandu veaganisiwi nawu!”
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.
Pavawuyili Vamitumu vala kunani, ndi vadimaji vakajovesana vene kwa vene, “Tihambayi ku Betelehemu tikagalola geatijovili Bambu aga.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Vakayumbatika kuhamba kwenuko, vakamkolela Maliya na Yosefu na vamgonisi mng'enya muwatu wa kulisila mifuya.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
Vadimaji vala pavamuwene mwana yula, vakatumbula kujova goha gavayuwini kuhuma kwa Mtumu wa kunani kumvala mwana uyo.
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
Voha vavayuwini gevajoviwi na vadimaji vala, vakakangasa.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Ndi Maliya akagavika na kugahololela mambu goha mumtima waki.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
Vadimaji vala vakawuya, kuni vakumulumbalila Chapanga kwa goha gavayuwini na kugalola, goha ngati chagajoviwi mtumi wa kunani.
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.
Palapiti lijuma limonga, lukumbi lwa kumdumula mwana jandu lwaihiki, vakampela liina la Yesu, ndi liina la apewili na mtumu wa kunani kwakona nyina waki kuvya na ndumbu.
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,
Payahikili ligono la Yosefu na Maliya kunyambiswa ngati chayaganikiwi na malagizu ga Chapanga geampelili Musa, ndi vampeliki mwana ku Yelusalemu ndava ya kumvika kwa Bambu.
23 as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
Ngati chaiyandikiwi mu Malagizu ga Musa, “Kila mwana mgosi mwaatumbwili kuvelekewa yati ikemelewa msopi na kubaguliwa ndava ya lihengu la Bambu.”
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.”
Ndi vakahamba kuwusa luteta kwa Chapanga, ngunda zivili amala mawela gavili, ngati chayaganikiwi mu Malagizu ga Bambu.
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;
Lukumbi lwenulo ku Yelusalemu kula kwavi na mundu mmonga, liina laki Simioni, mwenuyo akitayi mambu ga kumganisa Chapanga na mwenuyo alindilayi kuhika lukumbi lwa vandu va Isilaeli kupumuliswa mitima. Na mpungu Msopi avi pamonga na mwene.
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.
Mpungu Msopi amgubukuli Simoni yati ifwa lepi changamlola Kilisitu msangula mweahaguliwi yula mweajoviwi na Bambu.
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,
Ndi Simoni alongwiswi na Mpungu msopi kuhamba mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, pamonga na dadi na nyina wa Yesu, pavampeliki mwana wavi Yesu ndava ya kukita ngati chayaganikiwi na mivelu ya malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa.
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simoni akampokela mwana Yesu mu mawoko gaki, kuni akumsengusa Chapanga, akajova.
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
“Hinu, Mkulu, ukitili ngati chewakajovili, unilekayi, nene mvanda waku nihamba cha uteke.
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Kwa mihu gangu niuwene usangula waku,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
Ndi uhuletili usangula palongolo ya vandu va milima yoha ulolekayi.
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Lwenulo ndi lumuli lwa kuvamanyisa vandu vangali kuvya Vayawudi, na ukulu kwa vandu vaku va ku Isilaeli.”
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
Dadi na nyina wa Yesu vakakangasa ndava ya malovi gala gegajoviki kumuvala mwana yula.
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; —
Ndi Simioni akavamotisa, akamjovela Maliya nyina waki Yesu, “Lola mwana uyu avelekiwi ndava ya vandu vamahele va Isilaeli kugwa kwa vandu vamahele na vangi vamahele kuyinuka, mwene yati ivya ulangisu wa kubelekana na vandu,
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
muni maholo ga vandu va mahele galalolekana pawaka. Wamwene lipyanda ngati upanga, ukuhomili mtima waku.”
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;
Kwavili na mdala mmonga mgogolo neju, mlota wa Chapanga, liina laki Ana, msikana wa Fanueli wa likabila la Asheli. Paavi msikana agegiwi na kutama na mgwana waki miyaka saba ndu.
37 and she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
Kangi asigalili lipwela mbaka muugogolo wa miyaka semanini na mcheche. Lukumbi lwoha awelai mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, ajihinisi kulya na kuyupa kilu na muhi.
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.
Mdala yula akahumila lukumbi lulalula na kutumbula kumsengusa Chapanga na kuvajovela vandu voha gakumuvala mwana yula, vevalindila kugombolewa na kulekekesewa kwa Yelusalemu.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Yosefu na Maliya pavamali kukita goha gegalagiziwi mu Malagizu ga Bambu, vawuyili kumuji wavi Nazaleti wewavi ku Galilaya.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
Mwana yula akakula na kuvya na makakala, akamema luhala na umotisi wa Chapanga wavi pamonga na mwene.
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Kila mwaka dadi na nyina waki Yesu vahambili ku Yelusalemu kumselebuko wa Vayawudi wewikemiwa pasaka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
Yesu peahikisi miaka kumi na yivili, voha vakakwela kuhamba ku Yelusalemu, kumselebuko wa vayawudi wa pasaka ngati chayavi mivelu yavi.
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
Mselebuko pawamaliki, vakawuya, Yesu asigalili ku Yelusalemu changali dadi na nyina waki kumanya.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
Dadi na nyina vaki vaholalili avi pamonga mulugendu, vakagenda muhi woha, kangi vakatumbula kumulonda kwa valongo vaki na vankozi waki.
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
Vamuweni lepi, vakawuya ku Yelusalemu vakumulonda.
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.
Ligono la datu la kumlonda, vakamkolela mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, atamii pagati ya vawula va malagizu, akuvayuwanila na kuvakota.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
Voha vevamuyuwanila malovi gaki vakavya kumkangasa ndava ya luhala na kuyangula kwaki.
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.
Na pavamuweni vakakenyemuka, nyina waki akamkota “Wamwana vangu ndava kyani utikitili genaga? Dadi waku na nene ting'ahiki neju kukulonda.”
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 akayangula, “Ndava kyani mukunilonda? Mumanyi lepi ngati yikunigana nene kuvya munyumba ya Dadi wangu?”
50 And they understood not what he spoke to them.
Nambu dadi na nyina waki nakugamanya malovi gala geavajovili.
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.
Yesu akawuya pamonga nawu ku Nazaleti, akuvayuwanila. Nyina waki akayendelela kugaholalela mambu goha mumtima waki.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Yesu akayonjokeseka kukula luhala na higa, akaganisiwa neju na Chapanga na vandu.
