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.
Mumazuva iwayo Kesari Ogasitasi akapa chirevo chokuti vagari vose venyika dzose dzaitongwa neRoma vaverengwe.
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
Uku ndiko kwaiva kuverengwa kwokutanga kwakaitwa panguva yaKuriniasi paakanga ari mubati weSiria.
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
Uye mumwe nomumwe akaenda kuguta rake kuti andonyoresa.
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,
Saka Josefawo akakwidza achibva kuguta reNazareta muGarirea achienda kuJudhea, kuBheterehema guta raDhavhidhi nokuti akanga ari weimba yaDhavhidhi neworudzi rwake.
5 to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
Akaenda ikoko kundonyoresa naMaria, waakanga atsidzira kuzowanana naye uye akanga ava napamuviri.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
Vachiri ikoko, nguva yokuzvarwa kwomwana yakasvika,
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.
akazvara dangwe rake, mwanakomana. Akamuputira nemicheka akamuisa muchidyiro chezvipfuwo, nokuti muimba yavaeni makanga musisina nzvimbo yavo.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
Uye kwakanga kuna vafudzi vakanga vachigara kumafuro aiva pedyo naikoko, vachichengeta makwai avo usiku.
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.
Mutumwa waShe akazviratidza kwavari, uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakavakomberedza, uye vakatya kwazvo.
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;
Asi mutumwa akati kwavari, “Musatya. Ndauya nenhau dzakanaka dzomufaro mukuru uchava wavanhu vose.
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
Nhasi muguta raDhavhidhi mazvarwa Muponesi; ndiye Kristu Ishe.
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
Ichi ndicho chichava chiratidzo kwamuri: Muchawana mwana akaputirwa nemicheka uye avete muchidyiro chezvipfuwo.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Pakarepo hondo huru yokudenga yakaonekwa pamwe chete nomutumwa vachirumbidza Mwari vachiti:
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
“Mwari ngaarumbidzwe kumusoro-soro, uye rugare panyika nokuvanhu vaanofarira.”
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.
Vatumwa vakati vabva kwavari uye vaenda kudenga, vafudzi vakataurirana vachiti, “Handei kuBheterehema tindoona chinhu chaitika ichi, chataudzwa nezvacho naShe.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Saka vakakurumidza kusimuka vakaenda vakandowana Maria naJosefa, nomwana, akanga avete muchidyiro chezvipfuwo.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
Vakati vamuona, vakaparadzira shoko maererano nezvakanga zvataurwa pamusoro pomwana uyu,
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
uye vose vakazvinzwa vakashamiswa nezvavakataurirwa navafudzi.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Asi Maria akachengeta zvinhu zvose izvi akazvifungisisa mumwoyo make.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
Vafudzi vakadzokera vachikudza nokurumbidza Mwari pamusoro pezvinhu zvose zvavakanga vanzwa uye zvavakaona, zvakanga zvakangoita sezvavakanga vataurirwa.
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.
Pazuva rorusere, nguva yokudzingiswa kwake yasvika, akatumidzwa zita rokuti Jesu, zita raakanga apiwa nomutumwa asati aumbwa mudumbu.
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,
Nguva yokuzvinatsa kwavo maererano noMurayiro waMozisi yakati yakwana, Josefa naMaria vakaenda naye kuJerusarema kundomukumikidza kuna She
23 as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
sezvazvakanyorwa muMurayiro waShe, kuti “Mwanakomana wose wedangwe anofanira kutsaurirwa Ishe,”
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.”
uye kuti vabayire chibayiro maererano nezvinorehwa muMurayiro waShe zvichinzi: “njiva mbiri kana hangaiwa duku mbiri.”
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;
Zvino kwakanga kuno murume aiva muJerusarema ainzi Simeoni, akanga akarurama uye aida Mwari. Akanga akamirira kunyaradzwa kwavaIsraeri, uye Mweya Mutsvene waiva pamusoro pake.
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.
Zvakanga zvaratidzwa naMweya Mutsvene kuti haaizofa asati aona Muzodziwa waShe.
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,
Akapinda mutemberi achisundwa noMweya Mutsvene. Vabereki vakati vauya nomwana Jesu kuti vazoita kwaari tsika yaidiwa noMurayiro,
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simeoni akamubata mumaoko ake akarumbidza Mwari achiti:
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
“Ishe Tenzi, sezvamakavimbisa, zvino chiendesai henyu muranda wenyu norugare.
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Nokuti meso angu aona ruponeso rwenyu,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
rwamakagadzirira pamberi pavanhu vose,
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
chiedza chinovhenekera veDzimwe Ndudzi uye nokukudzwa kwavanhu venyu Israeri.”
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
Baba namai vomwana vakashamiswa nezvakataurwa pamusoro pake.
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; —
Ipapo Simeoni akavaropafadza akati kuna Maria, mai vake, “Mwana uyu achaita kuti kuve nokuwa nokumutswa kwavazhinji muIsraeri, uye achava chiratidzo chicharambwa,
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
kuitira kuti ndangariro dzemwoyo mizhinji dzigoratidzwa. Uye munondo uchabayawo mwoyo wako pachako.”
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;
Kwaivawo nomuprofitakadzi, Ana, mwanasikana waFanueri, worudzi rwaAsheri. Akanga akwegura kwazvo; akanga ambogara makore manomwe nomurume wake shure kwokuwanikwa kwake,
37 and she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
ipapo akazova chirikadzi kusvikira ava namakore makumi masere namana. Haana kumbobva mutemberi asi akanamata usiku namasikati, achitsanya nokunyengetera.
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.
Akasvika pavari panguva iyoyo, akavonga Mwari uye akataura pamusoro pomwana kuna vose vakanga vakamirira kudzikinurwa kweJerusarema.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Josefa naMaria vakati vaita zvose zvaidikanwa noMurayiro waShe, vakadzokera kuGarirea kuguta ravo reNazareta.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
Uye mwana akakura akasimba; akanga azere nouchenjeri, uye nyasha dzaMwari dzaiva pamusoro pake.
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Gore negore vabereki vake vaienda kuJerusarema kuMutambo wePasika.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
Akati ava namakore gumi namaviri, vakakwidza naye kuMutambo, maererano netsika yavo.
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
Mutambo wakati wapera, vabereki vake pavakanga vodzokera kumusha, mukomana Jesu akasara muJerusarema, asi ivo vakanga vasingazvizivi.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
Vakafamba kwezuva rose vachifunga kuti akanga ari pakati pavo. Ipapo vakatanga kumutsvaka pakati pehama neshamwari dzavo.
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
Vakati vamushayiwa, vakadzokera kuJerusarema kundomutsvaka.
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.
Mushure mamazuva matatu vakamuwana ari mutemberi, akagara pakati pavadzidzisi achivateerera uye achivabvunza mibvunzo.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
Mumwe nomumwe akamunzwa akashamiswa nokunzwisisa kwake uye nemhinduro dzake.
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.
Vabereki vake vakati vamuwana, vakashamiswa kwazvo. Mai vake vakati kwaari, “Mwana, waitireiko zvakadai kwatiri? Baba vako neni tanga tichikutsvaka kwazvo.”
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?
Iye akati, “Manga muchinditsvakireiko? Manga musingazivi here kuti ndaifanira kunge ndiri mumba mababa vangu?”
50 And they understood not what he spoke to them.
Asi havana kunzwisisa zvaaireva kwavari.
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.
Ipapo akaburuka navo kuNazareta uye akavateerera. Asi mai vake vakachengeta zvinhu zvose izvi mumwoyo mavo.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Uye Jesu akakura muuchenjeri nomumhu, achidiwa naMwari uye navanhu.
