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 taxed.
Lino mulayo mazuba, kwakasika akuti oyo siza Agasitasi wakatamuna mulumbe kulayilila kuti kubalwa kwachitwe kwabantu boonse bapona munyika.
2 ( And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Oku kwakali kubalwa kutanzi kwakachitwa chiindi kkwiniliyasi nakali mwendelezyi wa Siliya.
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Aboobo muntu woonse wakiinka kudolopo lyakwe kuti akalembesye kubalwa
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: )
Josefa alakwe wakinka atala kuzwa ku Galile, kuzwa kudolopo lya Nazaleta, kuya kuJudiy, kuya kudolopo lyaDavida, oyo utegwa Betelehema, nkaambo wakali wang'anda a lunyungu lwaDavida.
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Wakayinka ooko kuti akalembesye aantomwe a Meli, ooyo ngwakatuminide alumwi wakali aatambu.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Lino kwakasika kuti biyo nibakachiliko oko, ichindi chakasika chakwe kuti atumbuke mwana wakwe.
7 And she brought forth 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.
Wakatumbuka mwana mulombe, mwana mutanzi wakwe, alimwi wakamuputila mumalembo akasala malamfu alimwi wamulazika muchata, nkaambo tekwakalikwe busena bulabo munga'nda yabenzu.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Kwakaliwo bembeli mubusena obo bakalikukkala mumyuunda, kabalo kulinda butanga bwabo mansiku.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them: and they were in great fear.
Mungelo wamulami wakaboneka kuli mbabo, alimwi abulemu bwaMwami bwaka yubununwa alimbababo, alimwi bakazula akuyowa kupati.
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Mpawo mungelo wakamba wakati, “Mutayowinkambo ndamwetela makani mabotu ayo atazo yete kukondwa kupati kubantu boonse.
11 For to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
Sunu mufuli wazyalilwa ndinywe mudolopo lyaDavida nguKKilisto mwami!
12 And this shall be a sign to you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Echi nchichitondezyo chitakapegwe kuli ndinywe. Mulojana mwana kaputilidwe mulembo likasalaalimwi kalede luchaata.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Mpawo mpawo kwakaliwo antomwe abangelo biingi loko bazwa kujulu, kulumbaizya Leza alimwi kabati,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
“Bulemu kuli Leza usumpukide, alimwi ngakube luumuno munyika akati kabantu amwi amoyo ngwaboteledwe.” Amwi malembo achiindi achi Greeki alakupeleta kusiyenesiyene oko kubona kwaamba kwamabala abili akonzya kwaamba zilikumamanino amabala mache a muchala 14, yabili nkili njiyandisigwa. Kubona kwaamba nkoku.” chiyandisisyo chibotu kubantu kana akati kabantu alumwi awoyo we (LEZA) ngwabo teledwe
15 And it came to pass, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.
Kwakaba kuti awo bangelo kabali bayinka kuzwa alimbabo kuya kujulu, bembeli bakati kuli umwi awumwi, “ngatwiinke lino ku Betelehema alimwi tukabone echi chintu chachitika, echo Mwami nchatuyubnwida.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
Bakafwambanina nkuko alumwi bakujana Malia, Josefa, amwana oyo wakalede muchata
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
Kuzwawo abo nibakabamubona, bakazibisya ezyo zimbakali babuzigwa bo atala amwana.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Boonse abo bakamvwa bakagamba kuli zezyo zyakambwa abembeli.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Pesi Maliya wakali kuyeya a makani ngakali wamvwa, wakalondolawo mumoyo wakwe.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told to them.
Bembeli bakabweda kabalumbaizya akutembawula Leza kuli zyoonse ezyo zibakamvwa akubona, mbuli mbubaka mbilwa.
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, who was so named by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Elyo kwakiinda mazuba masanu aatatu, elyo nakabalulwa, wakuzikwa wategwa Jsu, izina ndyakapedwe amungelo musule katana mintwa mwida
22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
Elyo ilangililwa mweelwe yamazuba akulisalazya kwabo nakiinda, mbuli mumulawo waMozesi, bo bakamweta kuchikombelo kuJelusalema kulomupeda kumwaami.
23 ( As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
Mbuli mbukulembedwe mumulawu wamwami, “woonse mwana mulombe ujula ida ulo bikkwa kumbali kuMwami.”
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
Abobo bakapa chipaizyo mbuli ezyo zyakambidwe mumulawu wamwana, “inziba zibili nabana bankuilimba.
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Amubone kwakali mwalumi muJelusalema ula zina litegwa Simiyoni, alumwi oyo mwalumi wakali luleme a kulipeda. Wakali kalangilila kumbilizigwa kwabaIzilayeli, alubo muuya usalala wakala tala anguwe.
26 And it was revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Zyakali zyayubununwa kuli nguwe amuya usalala kutitakozobona lufu katanakubona uNanikidwewaMwami.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
Kazulwidwa aMuuya, Simiyoni waka sika muchikombelo. Elyo bazyali bakanjizya mukati mwana Jeso, kulo muchitila mbuli chiyanza chabo chamulawo.
28 Then he took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Wakamubweza mumaboko aakwe alimwi walumbaizya Leza, alimwi wakati,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
“Lino leka mulandawako ayiinde mulumuno, mwami, mbuli ijwi lyako.
30 For my eyes have seen thy salvation,
Nkaambo menso angu abona lufutuko lwako,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
olo mbwakambilwa abuliwo bwabantu boonse.
32 A light to enlighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
“Mumuni wachiyubunuzyo kuli bamasi alimwi bulemu kubantu bako izilayeli.”
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken concerning him.
Wisi abanyina, bakagambilwa aatala azintu zyakalikwaambulwa aatala amwana wabo.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
Simiyoni wakabalongezya mpawo wakati kuli banyina, “Amulange mwana ooyu ulisalidwe kuti kube kuwa akusumpulwa kwabamwi bantu biingi muli Izirayeli achitondeezyo chikakidwe -
35 ( And, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
alimwi ipanga liyoyasa muuya wako - kuchitila kuti myoyo myiingi ikayubununwe.”
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
Musinsimi mwanakazi uutegwa Ana wakaliwo. Wakali mwana musimbi waFanuwelo kuzwa kumukowa wa Asha. Wakali wapona amulumi wakwe minyaka ili musanu ayibili kuzwa kubusimbi bwakwe.
37 And she was a widow of about eighty and four years, who departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
Alimwi wakali mukamufu kwamwinyaka ili makumi musanu aatatu atune. Takwe nakazwide muchikombelo pesi wakali kubelekela kulyimya a kukomba mansiku, asikati.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
Kuli ndilelyo wola wakaswena afwifwi kuli mbabo almwi wakatalika kupa kulumba kuli Leza, alimwi wakambula alubo aatala amwana kubantu boonse abo bakali kulindila kufutulwa kwaJelusalema.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Eelyo aabo boonse nibakamanisya nzibakeelede kuchitambuli mulawo wamwami, bakabweeda ku Galilii, kudolopo lyabo lya Nazaleta.
40 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Mwana wakakomena alimwi wakasima, kuyungizya mubusongo, alimwi luzyalo lwaleza lwakali aanguwe
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Bazyali bakwe bakali kwiinka munyaka umwi awumwi ku Jelusalema kupobwe lya kwindilila.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
Awo nakaba aminyaka kkumi ayibili, bakabweda lubo mbuli chiindi chachiyanza chabo kupobwe.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
Nibakakkala mazuba azulide aa pobwe, bakabweda kumunzi. Pesi mulombe Jeso wakasyala ku Jelusalema alimwi bazyali bakwe tebakazipe.
44 But they, supposing him to be in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
Bakayelela kuti wakali akabunga ako nkibakayobwenda aako, mpawo bo bakenda musinzo wazuba limwi. Mpawo bakasanguna kumulangula akati kanzubo zyabo abeenzinyina.
45 And when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
Eelyo nibakamubula, bakabweda ku Jelusalema alimwi bakatalika kumuyandula nkuko.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
Zyakachitika kuti musule lyamazuba aatatu bakasanguna kumuyandula mung'anda ya Leza, kakkede akati kabayisyi, kalokubaswilizya akubabuzya mibuzyo.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Boonse bakamumvwa bakagamba kukumvwisisisya kwakwe akunsandulo zyakwe
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 sought thee sorrowing.
Elyo nibakamubona bakakankabala. Banyina bakati kulinguwe, “Mwanaangu, nkambonzi nwatujata enzila eyi? Langa, wuso andime twalikukuyandula achakutankalinkana.”
49 And he said to them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
Wakati kulimbabo, “Nkambonzi nimwalikundiyandula? Temwazi na kuti ndeelede kuba mungánda yandeende?”
50 And they understood not the saying which he spoke to them.
Pesi bo tebakamvwisisya nzyakalikwamba awayo majwi.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Elyo wakabweda kumunzi kulimbabo kuNazaleta alimwi wakali kulibombya kuli mbabo. Banyina bakalondola zyoonse ezi mumoyo wabo.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Pesi Jeso wakaya kunembo akukomena mubusongo a muchiimo, alimwi wakayungizya kuluzyalo kuli Leza aku bantu
