3 So everyone went to his own city to be registered for the census.

8 There were shepherds in that region who were staying in the fields, guarding their flock at night.
Uye kwakanga kuna vafudzi vakanga vachigara kumafuro aiva pedyo naikoko, vachichengeta makwai avo usiku.
9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.
Mutumwa waShe akazviratidza kwavari, uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakavakomberedza, uye vakatya kwazvo.
10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, because I bring you the good news that will bring great joy to all the people.
Asi mutumwa akati kwavari, “Musatya. Ndauya nenhau dzakanaka dzomufaro mukuru uchava wavanhu vose.

Nhasi muguta raDhavhidhi mazvarwa Muponesi; ndiye Kristu Ishe.
12 This is the sign that will be given to you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
Ichi ndicho chichava chiratidzo kwamuri: Muchawana mwana akaputirwa nemicheka uye avete muchidyiro chezvipfuwo.”
13 Suddenly there was together with the angel a great, heavenly army praising God and saying,
Pakarepo hondo huru yokudenga yakaonekwa pamwe chete nomutumwa vachirumbidza Mwari vachiti:
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and may there be peace on earth among people with whom he is pleased.”
“Mwari ngaarumbidzwe kumusoro-soro, uye rugare panyika nokuvanhu vaanofarira.”
15 It came about that when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Vatumwa vakati vabva kwavari uye vaenda kudenga, vafudzi vakataurirana vachiti, “Handei kuBheterehema tindoona chinhu chaitika ichi, chataudzwa nezvacho naShe.”
16 They hurried there and found Mary and Joseph, and saw the baby lying in the manger.

21 When it was the end of the eighth day, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name he had been 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 When the required number of days for their purification had passed, according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary brought him up to the temple in Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.

25 Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout. He was looking 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 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

27 Led by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple. When the parents brought in the infant 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,

Nokuti meso angu aona ruponeso rwenyu,
31 which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples:

32 A light for revelation to the Gentiles and glory to your people Israel.”

33 His father and mother were amazed at what was said about him.
Baba namai vomwana vakashamiswa nezvakataurwa pamusoro pake.
34 Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the downfall and rising up of many people in Israel and for a sign that is rejected—
Ipapo Simeoni akavaropafadza akati kuna Maria, mai vake, “Mwana uyu achaita kuti kuve nokuwa nokumutswa kwavazhinji muIsraeri, uye achava chiratidzo chicharambwa,
35 and a sword will pierce your own soul—so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
kuitira kuti ndangariro dzemwoyo mizhinji dzigoratidzwa. Uye munondo uchabayawo mwoyo wako pachako.”
36 A prophetess named Anna was there. She was the daughter of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher. She was very old. She had lived with her husband for seven years after her virginity,
Kwaivawo nomuprofitakadzi, Ana, mwanasikana waFanueri, worudzi rwaAsheri. Akanga akwegura kwazvo; akanga ambogara makore manomwe nomurume wake shure kwokuwanikwa kwake,

Akasvika pavari panguva iyoyo, akavonga Mwari uye akataura pamusoro pomwana kuna vose vakanga vakamirira kudzikinurwa kweJerusarema.
39 When they had finished everything they were required to do according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
Josefa naMaria vakati vaita zvose zvaidikanwa noMurayiro waShe, vakadzokera kuGarirea kuguta ravo reNazareta.
40 The child grew and became strong, increasing in wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Uye mwana akakura akasimba; akanga azere nouchenjeri, uye nyasha dzaMwari dzaiva pamusoro pake.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover.
Gore negore vabereki vake vaienda kuJerusarema kuMutambo wePasika.
42 When he was twelve years old, they again went up at the customary time for the feast.
Akati ava namakore gumi namaviri, vakakwidza naye kuMutambo, maererano netsika yavo.
43 After they had stayed the full number of days for the feast, they began to return home. But the boy Jesus stayed 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 They assumed that he was with the group that was traveling with them, so they traveled a day's journey. Then they started looking for him among their relatives and friends.
Vakafamba kwezuva rose vachifunga kuti akanga ari pakati pavo. Ipapo vakatanga kumutsvaka pakati pehama neshamwari dzavo.
45 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem and started looking for him there.
Vakati vamushayiwa, vakadzokera kuJerusarema kundomutsvaka.
46 It came about that after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
Mushure mamazuva matatu vakamuwana ari mutemberi, akagara pakati pavadzidzisi achivateerera uye achivabvunza mibvunzo.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Mumwe nomumwe akamunzwa akashamiswa nokunzwisisa kwake uye nemhinduro dzake.
48 When they saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Listen, your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”
Vabereki vake vakati vamuwana, vakashamiswa kwazvo. Mai vake vakati kwaari, “Mwana, waitireiko zvakadai kwatiri? Baba vako neni tanga tichikutsvaka kwazvo.”
49 He said to them, “Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I had to be about my Father's business?
Iye akati, “Manga muchinditsvakireiko? Manga musingazivi here kuti ndaifanira kunge ndiri mumba mababa vangu?”
50 But they did not understand what he meant by those words.
Asi havana kunzwisisa zvaaireva kwavari.
51 Then he went back home with them to Nazareth and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
Ipapo akaburuka navo kuNazareta uye akavateerera. Asi mai vake vakachengeta zvinhu zvose izvi mumwoyo mavo.
52 But Jesus continued to grow in wisdom and stature, and increased in favor with God and people.
Uye Jesu akakura muuchenjeri nomumhu, achidiwa naMwari uye navanhu.
