Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
Majuwa galii, Kaisari Agustinu mfalumi gwa Rumi kabweriti kulagalira, wantu woseri wa Iushi loseri la Rumi wawalangwi.
2 ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Kuwawalanga aku ndo kuweriti kwa kwanja shipindi Kureniu pakaweriti mkulu gwa mukowa gwa Siriya.
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Su kila muntu kagenditi kulembwa litawu lyakuwi muisi mwakuwi.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David)
Viraa Yosefu kaweriti na mwanja gwa kulawa Nazareti mumkowa gwa Galilaya, kagenditi muisi ya Betirehemu mumkowa gwa Yudeya pakayiwukiti Dawudi. Yosefu kagenditi kulii toziya kalawiti mushiyuwuku sha Dawudi.
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Kagenditi kulii wakalembwi pamuhera na Mariya muheta gwakuwi, yakaweriti na yinda.
6 And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Pawaweriti kulii Betirehemu, shipindi sha Mariya sha kwiwura mwana shisokiti.
7 And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling-clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Kamwiwula mwana gwakuwi gwa kwanja mpalu, kamgubikila nguwu na wamgonjeka muliboma lya wang'ombi, toziya womberi wapatiti ndiri pakugonja kunumba ya wahenga.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Kuweriti na walolera wa mifugu, yawaweriti kuntundu pashiru wankulolera mifugu yawu.
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.
Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kawalawariti walolera wa mifugu na ukwisa wa Mtuwa guwalangaziya. Womberi watiliti nentu,
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.
kumbiti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kawagambira, “Namtira! Neni nuwajegerani shisoweru shiwagira, shisoweru ashi hashiwajegeli wantu woseri wanemeleri nentu.
11 For to you is born this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Leru muisi ya Mfalumi Dawudi kiwuka Mlopoziya gwenu. Mweni ayu ndo Kristu Mtuwa!
12 And this [shall be] a sign to you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger.
Ayi haliweri lilangaliru kwa mwenga, pamusoka kala palii hamumwoni nonu wamgubikira vinguwu vya shiwana wamgonjeka muliboma la wang'ombi.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Palaa palii wantumintumi wamonga wa kumpindi wavuwa nentu, waliwoniti pamuhera wamkwisiti Mlungu, pawalonga,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men.
“Ukwisa uweri kwa Mlungu kumpindi nentu, na ponga iweri pasipanu kwa wantu yawamfira Mlungu!”
15 And it came to pass, when the angels had departed 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.
Wantumintumi wa kumpindi pawawukiti kala kuwuya kumpindi kwa Mlungu, walolera wa mifugu wanja kuligambira weni, “Vinu su tugendeni Betirehemu na kulola shintu shashitendikiti, shakatugambiriti Mtuwa.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
Su wawuka wagenda kanongola, pawasokiti palii wawawona Mariya na Yosefu na nonu ulii wamgonjeka muliboma la wang'ombi.
17 And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
Walolera wa mifugu pawamwoniti kala nonu ulii, su wanja kutakula ntambu yawapikaniriti kulawa kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kuusu nonu ayu.
18 And all they that heard [it], wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Muntu yoseri yakapikaniriti hangu kashyeniti visoweru vyawatakuliti walolera wa mifugu.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart.
Mariya kavituliti vintu vyoseri avi mumoyu mwakuwi na kavihola mana yakuwi.
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.
Walolera wa mifugu wawuyiti pawayimba kwa kumkwisa Mlungu ntambu yawapikaniriti na yawawoniti, iwera ntambu iraa ilii yawapikaniriti kulawa kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi.
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.
Palisokiti lishaka lya nani, shipindi sha kumwingiziya mwana jandu, wampananiti litawu Yesu, litawu lyeni ali ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamupananiti kala Mariya pakaweriti ndiri na yinda.
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;
Pashisokiti shipindi sha msambu gwa kupungwa kwawu Mariya na Yosefu hangu ndo ifiriwitwi mumalagaliru ga Musa, wamtola mwana wagenda nayu Yerusalemu wamtulili Mtuwa,
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that is the first born of his mother shall be called holy to the Lord)
ntambu yayilembitwi mumalagaliru ga Mtuwa, “Kila mwana gwa kwanja mpalu kafiruwa kutulwa kaweri mnanagala kwa Mtuwa.”
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.
Viraa virii wagenditi su walaviyi tambiku ya wankunda wawili ama wana wawili wa teteli, ntambu yayifiruwitwi mulilagaliru ga Mtuwa.
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [was] Simeon; and the same man [was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Shipindi shiraa shilii kuweriti na muntu yumu yawamshema Simoni yakalikaliti Yerusalemu. Kaweriti muntu kaherepa, muntu yakamfiriziya Mlungu na kaweriti kankulolera kulopoziwa kwa wantu wa Israeli. Rohu Mnanagala kaweriti pamuhera na yomberi,
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.
na Rohu Mnanagala kamgambiriti kala Simiyoni kulonga hapeni kahowi mpaka kamwoni Kristu yakasyagulitwi na Mtuwa.
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,
Su Rohu Mnangala kamlonguziyiti Simiyoni kwingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu. Na palii mawu na tati gwa Yesu wamjegiti Yesu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu wamtenderi ntambu yayifiruwitwi mulilagaliru,
28 Then he took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simiyoni kamwanka mwana mumawoku mwakuwi na kamkwisa Mlungu pakalonga,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
“Vinu Mtuwa guweza kumlekeziya ntumintumi gwaku kagendi kwa ponga, toziya gugatimiza galii gagulagaliriti.
30 For my eyes have seen thy salvation,
Masu gangu gawona ulopoziya waku,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
wawutandiritwi palongolu pa wantu woseri.
32 A light to enlighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Ulangala hawuwalangaziyi njira wantu wawawera ndiri Wayawudi na hawujegi ukwisa kwa wantu waku Israeli.”
33 And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken concerning him.
Tati na mawu gwa mwana walikangashiti nentu ntambu yakatakuliti Simiyoni kuusu mwana gwawu.
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;
Simoni kawatekelera, kamgambira Mariya mawu gwa Yesu, “Mwana ayu kasyagulitwi na Mlungu toziya ya kwagamira na kulopoziwa kwa wantu wavuwa Muisraeli. Nayomberi hakaweri lilangaliru kulawa kwa Mlungu kumbiti wantu wavuwa hawamtakuli vidoda,
35 (And a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
na virii vyawalihola wantu mumyoyu mwawu ndo havimaniki. Na gwenga Mariya utama hawuweri gambira mgoha gwagusongoka, haguwusomi moyu gwaku.”
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 a husband seven years from her virginity;
Palii kuweriti na mdala mbuyi gwa Mlungu, litawu lyakuwi Ana, mwana gwa Fanueli gwa likabila la Asheri.
37 And she [was] a widow of about eighty four years, who departed not from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and prayers night and day.
Shakapanu kasigaliti mkenja mpaka shipindi pakiwiti mgogolu gwa vinja malongu matatu na msheshi. Shipindi shoseri ashi kalikaliti Munumba nkulu ya Mlungu pakaleka kuliya na pakamluwa Mlungu pashiru na paliwala.
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.
Shipindi shila shilii, Ana kiziti na kulonga mayagashii Mlungu na katakuliti visoweru vya mwana kwa wantu woseri wawaweriti wankumuhepera Mlungu kwa kukombolwa kwa Yerusalemu.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Maliya na Yosefu pawatenditi kala vyoseri ntambu yanfiruwitwi mulilagaliru ga Mtuwa, su wawuyiti ukaya kwawu Nazareti muisi ya Galilaya.
40 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Mwana kakula kawera na makakala, su kawera na luhala na Mlungu kamtekelera.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Kila mvinja mawu na tati gwa Yesu wagendaga Yerusalemu mumsambu gwa Pasaka.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
Yesu pakaweriti na vinja lilongu na miwili, wagenditi nayu mumsambu ntambu yayiweriti shitiba.
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].
Paguperiti kala msambu gwa Pasaka, wanjiti mwanja gwa kuwuya ukaya, kumbiti Yesu kasigaliti kulaa Kuyerusalemu pota mawu na tati gwakuwi kuvimana.
44 But they, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among [their] relations and acquaintance.
Womberi wavimana Yesu kapamuhera na wantu wa mwanja, wagendagenda lishaka lyoseri, shakapanu wanja kumsakula mwa walongu na waganja wawu.
45 And when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
Wamwona ndiri, su wawuyiti Yerusalemu pawamsakula.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
Lishaka lya tatu wamwoniti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kalikaliti pamuhera na wafunda wa Mayawudi, kaweriti pakawapikinira na kuwakosiya.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Woseri pawampikaniriti vyakatakula, waweriti wankulikangasha ntambu yakeniti mahala na ntambu yakankuliti kwa luhala.
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.
Mawu na tati gwakuwi pawamwoniti washeniti. Maliya, mawu gwakuwi, kamkosiya, “Mwana gwenga, ashi gututenda ntambu ayi? Neni na tati gwaku tuweriti twankulishera patukusakula.”
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?
Yesu kawankula, “Ntambu gaa mwankunsakula? Muvimana ndiri handa nfiruwa nulikali mnumba mwa Tati gwangu?”
50 And they understood not the saying which he spoke to them.
Kumbiti tati na mawu gwakuwi wavimana ndiri vyakawankuliti.
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.
Yesu pakawuyiti pamuhera na mawu na tati gwakuwi Kunazareti, kendereyiti kuwajimira. Mawu gwakuwi kendeleyiti kulihola mmoyu mwakuwi.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
Yesu kendereyiti kukula munshimba pamuhera na luhala na kumfiliziya Mlungu pamuhera na wantu.
