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.
Masuba ayo Agasita, mwami waku Loma walabika mulawo wakwambeti bantu bonse bali mubulelo bwa Loma balembwe.
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
Uku kwalikuba kulembesha kwakuyamba kwalenshika cindi Kwilinyasi mpwalikuba mwendeleshi wa cishi ca Siliya.
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
Lino bonse bantu balaya akulembesha umo ne umo kumunshi kucomwabo.
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,
Yosefe neye walanyamuka kufuma ku Nasaleti munshi walikuba mucimpansha ca Galileya kuya kumunshi wa Dafeti, uko kwali kukwiweti Betelehemu, mucishi ca Yudeya, pakwinga walikuba wamulibunda lya Dafeti.
5 to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
Walaya pamo ne Maliya uyo ngwalikuba wamamikila, kwambeti naboyo baye balembwe. Cindi ico Maliya walikuba wemita.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
Kabacili kopeloko masuba akwambeti Maliya apulukemo alakwana,
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.
walasema mwana wakwiya mutuloba. Walamupetelesha mubikwisa ne kumoneka mucibaya mwali kulyela ng'ombe, pakwinga nkakwalikuba musena mu ng'anda ya bensu.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
Kucishi kopeloko kwalikuba bembeshi balikwembela mbelele shabo mashiku.
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.
Mwakutayeyela, mungelo wa Mwami walabonekela kuli endibo. Kubala kwa bulemeneno bwa Mwami kwalabamunikila tuu! Lino balatina.
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;
Nomba mungelo walabambileti, “Kamutatina pakwinga ndalete Mulumbe Waina weti ukondweleshe bantu bonse.
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
Mashiku alelo mumunshi wa mwami Dafeti mulasemwe Mupulushi wenu wananikwa uyo walaiwa, Klistu endiye Mwami.
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
Lino cishibisho cakendi nici; Nimuye mucane mwana kateta wafungailwa mubikwisa kaliwona mucibaya mwakulyela ng'ombe.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Mwakutayeyela kwalabonekela likoto lya bangelo bangi ba kwilu pamo ne mungelo usa bali kulumbaisha Lesa kabambeti,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
“Alumbwe Lesa wa kwilu wapitapo kayi panshi pabe lumuno pakati pa bantu Lesa mbakondwa nabo.”
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.
Bangelo balabwelela kwilu, lino bembeshi balatatika kwambilaneti, “Katuyani tushikeko ku Betelehemu tuye tubone cilenshiki ico ncalatwambili Mwami.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Lino balaya mwakufwambana, nekucana Maliya ne Yosefu boneka mwana mucibaya mwalikulyela ng'ombe.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
Mpobalamubona, bembeshi basa balabamba byonse mbyalabambila mungelo usa pamwana walasemwa.
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
Bonse balanyumfwa makani ayo alambwa ne bembeshi balakankamana.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Maliya walapitilisha kubyanuka bintu byonse ibi kayi walinkabiyeyapo mumoyo wakendi cindi conse.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
Bembeshi basa balabwelela, nkabalemeka nekulumbaisha Lesa pabyonse mbyobalanyufwa nekubona. Calenshika ndendende mbuli mwalabambilila Mungelo.
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.
Mwana usa mpwalakwanisha masuba asanu ne atatu balamwelula nekumutumba lineti Yesu. Lina ndyalamba mungelo, Yesu nkatana aba mulibunda lyabanyina.
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,
Mpocalashika cindi cakwambeti, Yosefe ne maliya bense mwambo wakuswepesha pakukonka Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose, mwanoyo balaya nendi ku Yelusalemu kwambeti bamubenge kuli Mwami.
23 as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
Pakwinga calembwa mu Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose kwambeti, “Mwana uliyense mutuloba, wakwiya welela kubengwa kuli Lesa.”
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.”
Balaya akubenga mulumbo wa nkulimba shibili nambi bana ba baciba babili kwelana mbuli calembwa mu Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Mose.
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;
Lino mu Yelusalemu mwalikuba muntu walikukwiweti Simyoni, walikuba muntu walikutina Lesa. kayi Mushimu Uswepa walikuba pali endiye. Walikupembelela cindi cakwambeti Lesa akapulushe Baislaeli.
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.
Mushimu Uswepa walamuyubulwila kwambeti nteshi akafwe nkatanabona Klistu mupulushi walaiwa ne Lesa.
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,
Busuba bumbi Mushimu Uswepa walamwambila simyoni kwambeti ayenga kung'anda ya Lesa. Bamashali ba Yesu balengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa ne mwana kwambeti bamwinshile mwambo wa Milawo ya Lesa njalapa Mose.
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Popelapo Simyoni walatambula mwana nekumufukatila mumakasa mwakendi ne kulumbaisha Lesa ne maswi akwambeti,
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
“Mwami, lino ndekeni ame musebenshi wenu, njenga mulumuno, pakwinga mulenshi ncomwalanshomesha.
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Pakwinga menso akame alabono lupulusho lwenu,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
lupulusho ulo ndomwalabamba, pamenso abantu bonse.
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Uyu ni mumuni walambweti nukamunikile bantu ba mishobo naimbi, nekwambeti pakabe bulemeneno pa bantu benu Ba isilayeli.”
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
Baishi ne banyina balakankamana mpobalanyumfwa maswi ngalamba Simyoni pa mwana uyu.
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; —
Lino Simyoni walabaleleka nekwambila Maliya banyina mwana eti, uyu mwana walasalwa ne Lesa, “Kwambeti awishe ne kupundusha bangi pakati pa bantu ba mu Islayeli. Nakabe cishibisho catumwa ne Lesa, ico bantu bangi ncoti bakakane.
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Neco miyeyo ili mumyoyo yabantu bangi, nikabonekele patuba. Nenjobe Maliya mapensho nakakwikate ne kuyasa kumuyo eti cibeshi.”
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;
Kayi kwalikuba mushinshimi mutukashi mukalibingi lina lyakendi ni Ana. Walikuba mwanendi Faniwelo wa mulibunda lya Asha uyo walekala ne baibendi byaka bisanu ne bibili, Lino neye walikuba mucembele.
37 and she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
Pacindi co walikuba ne byaka makumi asanu ne atatu kayi ne byaka bina. Cindi conse walikwikala mu Ng'anda ya Lesa. Walikapaila kuli Lesa mashiku ne munshi kayi ni muntu walikulikanisha kulya.
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.
Nendi mpwalashikako copeleco cindi, walatatika kulumbaisha Lesa, kambila bantu bonse sha mwana uyo ngobalikupembelela cindi Lesa mposhi akapulushe 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.
Yosefe ne Maliya mpobalapwisha kwinsa byonse kwelana ne Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose, balabwelela kucomwabo ku Nasaleti mucishi ca Galileya.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
Mwana usa walakula nekuba ne ngofu kayi walaba ne mano. Neco Lesa walamuleleka.
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Bashali ba Yesu balikuya lyonse ku Yelusalemu mwaka ne mwaka akusekelela Pasika.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
Yesu mpwalaba ne myaka likumi ne ibili, balaya kopeloko mbuli cinga cabo.
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
Mpobalapwisha kusekelela bala bwelela kucomwabo, Yesu walashala ku Yelusalemu, bashali bakendi nkabalenshiba.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
Balo bashali bakendi bali kabayeyeti uli mulikoto lya bantu mbobali kuyanabo munshila, balenda musuma wa busuba bumo. Lino balatatika kumuyandaula kubamakwabo ne kubanabo.
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
Mpobalacaneti kuliyawa, balabwelela ku Yelusalemu kabaya akumulangola.
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.
Balamucana mpopalapita masuba atatu mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, nkali ekala pakati pa beshikwiyisha, nkanyumfwila maswi abo kayi nkabepusha mipusho.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
Bantu bonse balakankamana mpobalanyufwa mbuli mwalikubakumbulila ne mano.
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.
Bashali bakendi mpobalamubona balakankamana. Lino banyina balamwipusheti, “Mwana obe, ulatwinshili cani cisa? Bona ame ne baiso tulashupiki kukuyandola.”
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 walakumbuleti, “Nomba nkamundangwela cani, sena nkamucishi kwambeti ndelela kuba mung'anda ya Bata?”
50 And they understood not what he spoke to them.
Balo baliya kunyufwishisha ncalabakumbula.
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.
Lino Yesu walanyamuka nekuya nabo kucomwabo ku Nasaleti pakwinga walikunyumfwila banyina. Maliya walasunga bintu ibi byonse mumoyo wakendi.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Yesu walakula necimo ca mano kayi walaba mwana weshi kukondwelesha Lesa nebantu bonse.
