Luke 2
1 Just at this time an edict was issued by Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole Empire.
E ndalogo, Kaisar Agusto nogolo chik mondo okwan ji e piny Rumi duto.
2 It was the first registration made during the governorship of Quirinius in Syria;
(Ma ne en kweno mokwongo mane otimore ka Kwirinio ne en ruodh Siria.)
3 and all went to be registered--every one to the town to which he belonged.
To ngʼato ka ngʼato nodhi e dalagi owuon mondo ondik nyinge.
4 So Joseph went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judaea, to David's town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
Kuom mano, Josef bende noa e dala mar Nazareth, e piny Galili modhiyo Judea nyaka Bethlehem e dala mar Daudi, nikech ne en achiel kuom joodgi kendo anywola gi Daudi.
5 to have himself registered together with Mary, who was betrothed to him and was with child.
Nodhi kuno mondo okwane kod Maria, mane osingore mondo okendi, kendo nogeno yudo nyathi.
6 But while they were there, her full time came,
Kane gin kuno, kinde mar nywolo nyathi nochopo,
7 and she gave birth to her first-born son, and wrapped Him round, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
to nonywolo nyathine makayo, ma wuowi. Ne oboye gi nanga kendo nokete e sanduku mar chiemb dhok, nikech ne onge thuolo e od welo.
8 Now there were shepherds in the same part of the country, keeping watch over their sheep by night in the open fields,
To ne nitie jokwadh rombe manodak oko e lek machiegni kanyo, ka girito jambgi gotieno.
9 when suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they were filled with terror.
Malaika mar Ruoth nobiro irgi kendo duongʼ mar Ruoth Nyasaye norieny, molworogi, mine giluor.
10 But the angel said to them, "Put away all fear; for I am bringing you good news of great joy--joy for all the People.
To malaika nowachonegi niya, “Kik uluor. Akelonu wach maber mar mor maduongʼ mabiro bedo ni ji duto.
11 For a Saviour who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David.
Kawuononi e dala mar Daudi, osenywolnu Jawar; en Kristo Ruoth.
12 And this is the token for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."
Mani nobednu ranyisi: Ubiro yudo nyathi ma obo gi nengni ka onindo ei sanduku mar chiemb dhok.”
13 And immediately there was with the angel a multitude of the army of Heaven praising God and saying,
Apoya nono oganda maduongʼ mar jopolo nothinyore kod malaika ka gipako Nyasaye kendo wacho niya,
14 "Glory be to God in the highest Heavens, And on earth peace among men who please Him!"
“Duongʼ obed ni Nyasaye e polo malo kendo kwe obed e piny ne ji ma Nyasaye oyiero.”
15 Then, as soon as the angels had left them and returned to Heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go over as far as Bethlehem and see this that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."
Kane malaika noseweyo jogi kendo dhiyo e polo, jokwath nowacho kendgi niya, “Wadhiuru Bethlehem mondo wane gima osetimore, ma Ruoth osenyisowa kuome ni.”
16 So they made haste and came and found Mary and Joseph, with the babe lying in the manger.
Kuom mano negidhiyo mapiyo kendo negiyudo Maria gi Josef kod nyathi konindo e sanduku mar chiemb dhok.
17 And when they saw the child, they told what had been said to them about Him;
Kane gisenene, negilando wach mar gima ne owachnegi kuom nyathini,
18 and all who listened were astonished at what the shepherds told them.
Kendo ji duto manowinjo wachni, nowuoro gima jokwath nowachonegi.
19 But Mary treasured up all these things, often dwelling on them in her mind.
To Maria nokano wechegi duto kendo nokanogi e chunye.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen in accordance with the announcement made to them.
Jokwath nodok, ka gipako Nyasaye kendo miyo Nyasaye duongʼ kuom gik moko duto mane gisewinjo kendo neno, mana kaka nosenyisgi.
21 When eight days had passed and the time for circumcising Him had come, He was called JESUS, the name given Him by the angel before His conception in the womb.
Odiechiengʼ mar aboro kane kinde monego otere nyangu ochopo nomiye nying ni Yesu, nyingno mane malaika osemiye kapok omak ichne.
22 And when the days for their purification appointed by the Law of Moses had passed, they took Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord--
Kane kinde ochopo mar pwodhruok kaka Chik mar Musa nochopo, Josef gi Maria notere Jerusalem mondo gichiwe ne Ruoth Nyasaye
23 as it is written in the Law of the Lord: "Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord."
(mana kaka nondiki e chik mar Ruoth Nyasaye niya, “Nyathi ka nyathi makayo ma wuowi nyaka wal ne Ruoth”),
24 And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord, "a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons."
kendo kitimo misango koluwore gi gima owachi e Chik mar Ruoth Nyasaye ni mondo ochiw: “akuch odugla ariyo kata nyithi akuru ariyo.”
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem of the name of Symeon, an upright and God-fearing man, who was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
E kindeno ne nitiere ngʼato Jerusalem miluongo ni Simeon, ne en ngʼat makare kendo moluoro Nyasaye. Norito loch mar Israel, kendo Roho Maler neni kuome.
26 To him it had been revealed by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death until he had seen the Lord's Anointed One.
Roho Maler nofwenyone ni ok obi tho kapok oneno Kristo ma Ruoth Nyasaye biro oro.
27 Led by the Spirit he came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do with regard to Him according to the custom of the Law,
Roho notelone motere ei hekalu. Kane jonywol okelo nyathigi ma Yesu mondo otimne gino ma Chik dwaro,
28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
Simeon nokawe moriwe e bade kendo nopako Nyasaye, kowacho niya,
29 "Now, O Sovereign Lord, Thou dost send Thy servant away in peace, in fulfilment of Thy word,
“Ruoth Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, kaka ne isesingo, koro we jatichni odhi gi kwe.
30 Because mine eyes have seen Thy salvation,
Nimar wengena oseneno warruokni,
31 Which Thou hast made ready in the sight of all nations--
miseiko e nyim ji duto,
32 A light to shine upon the Gentiles, And the glory of Thy people Israel."
ler mar fweny ne joma ok jo-Yahudi, to mar duongʼ ni jogi Israel.”
33 And while the child's father and mother were wondering at the words of Symeon concerning Him,
Wuon gi min nyathi nowuoro wach mane owach kuome.
34 Symeon blessed them and said to Mary the mother, "This child is appointed for the falling and the uprising of many in Israel and for a token to be spoken against;
Eka Simeon nogwedhogi kendo nowachone Maria, min mare niya, “Nyathini oketi mondo okel podho piny gichungʼ malo mar ji mangʼeny e Israel, kendo obed ranyisi mibiro wuo kuome marach.
35 and a sword will pierce through your own soul also; that the reasonings in many hearts may be revealed."
Kuom mano paro mag chunje mangʼeny ibiro fwenyo. To ligangla biro chwoyo chunyi in iwuon bende.”
36 There was also Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, belonging to the tribe of Asher. She was of a very great age, having had after her maidenhood seven years of married life,
Ne nitie janabi madhako bende, Ana, nyar Fanuel ma ja-dhood Asher. Ne oti ahinya; bende noyudo osedak gi chwore higni abiriyo bangʼ kendne,
37 and then being a widow of eighty-four years. She was never absent from the Temple, but worshipped, by day and by night, with fasting and prayer.
eka nodoko dhako ma chwore otho nyaka koro ne en ja-higni piero aboro gangʼwen. Ne ok oa e hekalu to nolemo otieno gi odiechiengʼ, kotweyo chiemo kendo olamo.
38 And coming up just at that moment, she gave thanks to God, and spoke about the child to all who were expecting the deliverance of Jerusalem.
Kane obiro irgi e kindeno, nogoyo erokamano ni Nyasaye kendo nowuoyo kuom nyathi ni ji duto mane ogeno kuom resruok mar Jerusalem.
39 Then, as soon as they had accomplished all that the Law required, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
Kane Josef gi Maria josetimo duto mane dwarore kaluwore gi chik mar Ruoth, negidok Galili e dala margi Nazareth.
40 And the child grew and became strong and full of wisdom, and the favour of God rested upon Him.
To nyathino nodongo kendo nobedo motegno; nopongʼ kod rieko, kendo ngʼwono mar Nyasaye ne ni kuome.
41 Now His parents used to go up year by year to Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover.
Higa ka higa jonywolne ne dhiyo Jerusalem e Sawo mar Pasaka.
42 And when He was twelve years old they went up as was customary at the time of the Feast, and,
Kane en ja-higni apar gariyo, negidhiyo e Sawono kaluwore kod timgi.
43 after staying the full number of days, when they started back home the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not discover this,
Bangʼ ka sawono norumo, ka jonywolne nedok dala, wuowi Yesu nodongʼ chien Jerusalem, to ne ok gingʼeyo mani.
44 but supposing Him to be in the travelling company, they proceeded a day's journey. Then they searched up and down for Him among their relatives and acquaintances;
Ka giparo ni ne en ei oganda margi, negiwuotho moromo ndalo achiel eka negichako manye e dier wedegi kod osiepe.
45 but being unable to find Him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for Him.
Kane ok giyude, negidok Jerusalem mondo gimanye.
46 On the third day they found Him in the Temple sitting among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking them questions,
Bangʼ ndalo adek negiyude ei agolni mag hekalu, kobedo e kind jopuonj, kowinjogi kendo penjogi penjo.
47 while all who heard Him were astonished at His intelligence and at the answers He gave.
Ngʼato ka ngʼato manowinje nowuoro ngʼeyone kod dwokoge.
48 When they saw Him, they were smitten with amazement, and His mother said to Him, "My child, why have you behaved thus to us? Your father and I have been searching for you in anguish."
Kane jonywolne onene, negihum. Min-gi nowachone niya, “Wuoda, angʼo momiyo isetimonwa kamano? An kod wuonu wasedwari ka wan gi parruok.”
49 "Why is it that you have been searching for me?" He replied; "did you not know that it is my duty to be engaged upon my Father's business?"
Nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo ne umanya? Ok ungʼeyo ni onego abed e od wuora?”
50 But they did not understand the significance of these words.
To ne ok gingʼeyo gima ne owachonegi.
51 Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was always obedient to them; but His mother carefully treasured up all these incidents in her memory.
Eka nodhi nyaka Nazareth kodgi kendo nomiyogi luor kowinjogi. To min mare nokano wechegi duto e chunye.
52 And as Jesus grew older He gained in both wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
To Yesu nomedo dongo kobedo gi rieko kendo e ringruok, ka en gi ngʼwono gi Nyasaye kod ji.
