Luke 2
1 Now it came to pass, in those days, that there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, for all the inhabited earth to be enrolled:
nambeambe katika lichoba liyo, yatibonekana kwamba kaisari Agusto apiite agizo kumuelekeza kwamba itolekwe sensa ya bandubaatama mulunia.
2 this enrolment, first was made while Cyrenius was governor of Syria:
Yeno yabile ni sensa ya kwanza yaipangilwe muda Krenio abile gavana wa Siria.
3 and all were journeying to be enrolled, each one unto his own city.
nyoo kila yumo atiyenda mjini kwayenda yakuandikisha sensa.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of a city Nazareth, into Judaea, into the city of David which is called Bethlehem; because he was of the house and family of David:
Niywembe Yusufu atiboka kae katika mji wa Nazaleti kwa Galilaya na atisafiri Yudea kwa mji wa Bethlehemu, utangilikwa kati mji wa Daudi, kwa sababu atepitiya lukoloo lwa Daudi.
5 to enrol himself with Mary who was betrothed to him, she being with child.
Atiyenda kwa kujiandikicha pamope na Mariamu, ywembe abile kobeka na abile pekaniliya mwana.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days were fulfilled for her to give birth;
Nambeyambe atikuipya kwamba, pabile kolo muda wake wa papa mwana utimile.
7 and she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Apapite mwana nnalome, mmbeleko wake wa kwanza, atikumbilingia ngobo muyega atikumlendelana mbepo mwana. Boka po atikumbeka kwenye liholilyalelya inyama, kwasababu yabile ntopo nafasi kwenye nyumba ya wageni.
8 And there were, shepherds, in the same country, dwelling in the fields, and keeping the watches of the night over their flock.
Katika eneo lelo, babile bachungaji mmigunda batilendanga kipenga sa ngondolo wabe kilo.
9 And, a messenger of the Lord, stood over them, and, a glory of the Lord, shone round about them; and they feared, a great fear.
Ghafla, malaika wa Ngwana atibonekana, na utukufu wa Ngwana uting'ara kubatindiya, ni babile na hofu muno.
10 And the messenger said unto them—Be not afraid! For lo! I bring you good tidings of a great joy, the which shall be for all the people:
Ndipo malaika atikuwabakia “Lana muyogope”kwa sababu natikubaletya habari njema ambayo ipala kululetya puraha ngolo kwa bandu boti.
11 That there hath been born unto you, this day, a saviour, —Who is Christ the Lord—in the city of David!
Leno mwokozi atibelekwa kwaajili yinu mjini mwa Daudi! ywembe nga Kristu Ngwana!
12 And, this, to you is, a sign: Ye shall find a babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.
Yeno nga ishara ambayo tupeilwe, mpala kumkolia mwana atitabilwa ngobo ni atigonja ku'liholi lya lelilya inyama.”
13 And, suddenly, there came to be, with the messenger, the throng of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying—
Ghafla kwabile na jeshi likolo lya kumaundebatiungana na malaika hago batikumsifu Nnongo, batibaya, “
14 Glory, in the highest, unto God! And, on earth, peace, among men of goodwill.
Utukufu kwa Nnongo ywa abile kunani muno, ni amani ibi mukilambo kwa boti bapendezwa nae.”
15 And it came to pass, when the messengers had departed from them into heaven, that, the shepherds, began to say one to another—Let us go through forthwith as far as to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.
Yabile kwamba malaika payomwike boka yenda kumaunde, bachungaji batibakiana bene kwa bene, “tuyende na mbeyambe kolo Bethlehemu, na tukannole cheno kilebe ambacho kitibonekana, ambacho Ngwana atitubakia.”
16 And they came, with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Batiyombeteka kolo, na batikunkoliya Mariamu na Yusufu, bamweni mwana atigonja ku'holi la, lelya inyama.
17 Now, when they beheld, they made known concerning the thing which had been told them as to this child.
Na bapamweni nyoo, batekuwabakiya bandu celo chabakibweni batibakilwa chakimhusu mwana.
18 And, all who heard, marvelled concerning the things which had been told by the shepherds unto them;
Boti babayowine habari yeno batishangara na chelo chabalongei na bachungaji.
19 but, Mary, was closely observing, all, these things, putting them together in her heart.
Lakini Mariamu atiyendelea fikiri husu gooti yayomwike kuyapekaniya, atikuyatunza mwoyoni mwake.
20 And the shepherds returned, giving glory and singing praise unto God, over all things which they had heard and seen, according as it had been told unto them.
Bachungaji babuyangite batikumtukuza na kumsifu Nnongo kwaajili ya kila kilebe chabakipekani na kukibona, kama tu yaibile inenwa kwabe.
21 And, when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, then was his name called, Jesus, —which it was called by the messenger, before he was conceived in the womb.
Payeikite lichiba lya nane na yabile ni muda wa ina mwana, batikumkema lina Yesu, lina lapeilwe na yolo malaika kabla ya kundumbo inatunga kwaa ndumbo.
22 And, when the days of their purification, according to the law of Moses, were fulfilled, they took him up into Jerusalem, to present [him] unto the Lord, —
Mazao yagapalikwa ya utakaso zapitike, lingana na sakiya ya Musa, Yusufu na Mariamu bampotwike kulihekalu kolyo Yerusalemu kum'beka nnonge ya Ngwana.
23 according as it is written in the law of the Lord—Every male that is a firstborn, Holy unto the Lord, shall be called,
Kati yaiandikilwe katika saliya ya Ngwana, “kila nnalome yayogowa ndumbo ndumbo apala kemelwa ywapiitwe wakfu kwa Ngwana.”
24 and to give a sacrifice, according to that which is said in the law of the Lord—A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.
Balo nyanyanya baichile piya sadaka lengana na chelo chakibailwe katika saliya ya Ngwana, “Jozi ya ngunda ama mabunda mabele ya ngunda.”
25 And lo! there was, a man, in Jerusalem, whose name, was Symeon; and, this man, was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and Holy Spirit was upon him;
Linga, pabile na mundu katika Yerusalem ambaye lina lyake abile akemelwa Simeoni. mundu ywa abi na haki na mcha Nnongo. Ywembe abile atilenda kwaajili ya mfariji wa Israel, na Roho mpeletau abi kunani yake.
26 and it had been intimated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
Yabile iyomwike tunuliwa kwa ywembe ywa Roho mpeletau kwomba ywembe apala waa kaa kabya ya kum'mona Kristob wa Ngwana.
27 And he came, in the Spirit, into the temple; and, when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do according to that which was customary by the law concerning it,
lichoba limo aichile nkati ya hekalu, ationgozwa na Roho mpeletau, ambapo azazi batikunleta mwana, Yesu, kumpangia galo yapalikwe kawaida ya saliya.
28 even he, welcomed it into his arms, and blessed God, and said—
ndipo Simeoni atipokiya kwaluboko lwake, na atikumsifu Nnongo nabaya,
29 Now, dost thou dismiss thy servant, O Sovereign, according to thy declaration—in peace;
“Nambeyambe ruhusa mtumishi wako ayende kwa amani Ngwana, lengana na Neno lyako.
30 Because mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Kwa kuwa minyo gango yabwe ni wokovu wako,
31 Which thou hast prepared in face of all the peoples:
ambao utibonekana kwa minyo ya bandu boti.
32 A light for the unveiling of nations, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Ywembe ni nuru kwaajili ya ufunuo kwa bamataifa na utukufu wa bandu baisraeli.”
33 And his father and mother were marvelling over the things which were being spoken concerning him.
Tate na mao ba mwana batishangala kwa makowe ambayo atilongela kunani yake.
34 And Symeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother—Lo! this one, is being set for the falling and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign to be spoken against;
Ndipo Simeoni atikuwabariki na baya kwa Mariamu mao bake, “pekaniya kwa makini! mwana yo atakuwa sababu ya obiya na okoka kwa bandu benge katika Israel na ni ishara ambayo bandu benge bataikana.
35 And, thou! through thy very soul, shall pass a sword, that, reasonings, may be revealed, out of many hearts.
Pia ni upanga wapala kuchoma nafsi yako na mwene, ili kwamba mawaso ya mioyo ya benge yatangike.”
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; —the same, advanced in many days; having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
Nabii nnwawa akemelwa Ana pia abile mulihekalu. ywembe abile nwawa wa Fanueli boka likabila lya Asheri. Abii na miaka yanambone muno. Naye atitama na nchengowe kwa miaka saba baada ya kobekwa.
37 and, she, had been a widow for as long as eighty-four years, —who left not the temple, with fastings and supplications, rendering divine service night and day; —
Na ndipo abii mjane kwa miaka themanini na ncheche. Naye abile kwaa boka muhekalu na abile atiyendelea kumuabudu Nnongo pamope na taba roba, kilo na mutwekati.
38 and, in that very hour, coming near, she began to give thanks unto God, and to speak concerning him unto all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
Na kwa muda woo, aichile palo pabile natumbwa shukuru Nnongo, nalongela husu mwana kwa kila mundu ambaye abile akilenda ukombozi wa Yerusalemu.
39 And, when they had finished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, into their own city, Nazareth.
Pabayomwile kila kile chawapalike panga lingana na saliya ya Ngwana, batibuya Galilaya, mjini kwabe, Nazareti.
40 And, the child, went on growing, and waxing strong, becoming filled with wisdom; and, the favour of God, was upon it.
Mwana atikola, na abii na ngupu, atiyongezeka katika hekima, na neema ya Nnongo yabile kunani yake.
41 And his parents used to journey yearly into Jerusalem, at the feast of the passover.
Wazazi bake kila mwaka batiyenda Yerusalem kwaajili ya sikukuu ya Pasaka.
42 And, when he became twelve years, and they went up, according to the custom of the feast,
Pabile na umri wa miaka komi na ibele, batiyenda kae muda mwafaka kidesturi kwaajili ya sikukuu.
43 and completed the days, and then were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, —and his parents noticed it not;
Baada ya bakia machoba goti kwaajili ya sikukuu, batumbwile buyangana kunyumba. lakini nnalome Yesu atiigala nnchogo mwolo Yerusalem na wazazi bake batangite kwaa.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day’s journey, and then began to seek for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances,
Batangite kwamba abile mu'kipenga cha babile nabo musafari, batibutuka safari ya lichoba limo, ndipo batumbwile kumpala miongoni mwa anunange na marafiki wabe.
45 and, not finding him, returned unto Jerusalem, seeking him.
Pabashindwile kumpala, batibuya Yerusalem na tumbwa kumpala.
46 And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting amidst the teachers, —both hearkening unto them, and questioning them.
Itibonekana kwamba baada ya lichoba lya itatu, batikumpata hekaluni, abi atitama katikati ya baalimu, akibapekania na kuwalokiya maswali.
47 Now all who heard him were beside themselves, because of his understanding and his answers.
Boti bayowine batishangala na ufahamu wake na majibu gake.
48 And, when they behold him, they were astounded, and his mother said unto him—Child! why, hast thou dealt with us, thus? Lo! thy father and I, in anguish, were seeking thee.
Pmweni, batishangala, mao bake atikumkumbatia, mwanango, namani cha ututendeite nyaa? Pekani, tate boka na nee tutikupala kwa wasiwasi nkolo.”
49 And he said unto them—Why was it that ye were seeking me? Perceived ye not, that, in the courts of my Father, I must needs be?
Atikuwabakia,'kitumbwe namani kunipala? mwatangite kwaa kwamba lazima nibii ku'nnyumba ya Tate bangu?
50 And, they, understood not the thing which he spake to them.
Lakini baelewite kwaa namani chamaanisha kwa maneno galo.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was submitting himself unto them. And, his mother, was closely observing all these things in her heart.
Ndipo ayeii pamope nao mpaka kaya Nazareti na abile mtii kwabe. Mao bake abekite makowe goti moyoni mwake.
52 And, Jesus, went on advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.
Lakini Yesu atiendelea kola katika hekima na kimo, na azidite pendwa na Nnongo na bandu.
