Luke 2
1 Just at this time an edict was issued by Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole Empire.
Henu mu magono aghu, jhatokili kwamba Kaisari Agusto ahomisi lilaghisu kujhelesya kujha jhitolibhwayi sensa jha bhanu bhoha bhabhiishi pa dunia.
2 It was the first registration made during the governorship of Quirinius in Syria;
Ejhe jhajhele sensa jha kwanza jhajhabhombiki wakati Krenio ndo gavana bhwa Siria.
3 and all went to be registered--every one to the town to which he belonged.
Efyo, kila mmonga akalota kumjini kwa muene kujhandikisya sensa.
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,
Ni muene Yusufu akabhoka kabhele mu mji bhwa Nazareti okhu Galilaya ni kusafiri Yudea mu mji bhwa Bethlehemu, bhwa umanyikene kama mji bhwa Daudi, kwandabha jhatokili mu lukholo lwa Daudi.
5 to have himself registered together with Mary, who was betrothed to him and was with child.
Alotili okhu kwijhandikisya pamonga ni Mariamu, ambajhe amposili na akajha ilolelela muana.
6 But while they were there, her full time came,
Henu jhatokili kujha, bhobhajhele khola wakati bhwa muene bhwa kwifungula muana bhwa wadili.
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.
Akahogola muana ghwa kigos, mzalibhwa bhwa muene bhwa kuanza, akan'syongosela ngobho mb'ele bhuoha kun'kenga muana ni mepu. Ndipo akambeka mu kihori kya kulesela bhanyama kwandabha jhajhelepi nafasi mu nyumba jha bhahesya.
8 Now there were shepherds in the same part of the country, keeping watch over their sheep by night in the open fields,
Katika eneo e'lu, bhajhele bhachungaji bhabhatameghe kumigonda bhakajha bhilenda makundi gha kondoo bha bhene pakiru.
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.
Ghafla, malaika bha Bwana akabhatokela, ni bhutukufu bhwa Bwana bhwa langele kubhasyongoka, na bhajhe ni bhuogha sana.
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.
Ndipo malaika akabhajobhela, “Musitili, kwa ndabha ni kabhaletela habari jhinofu ambajho jhileta furaha mbaha kwa bhanu bhoha.
11 For a Saviour who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David.
Lelu mwokozi ahogoliki kwandabha jhinu kumjini kwa Daudi! muene ndo Kristu Bwana!
12 And this is the token for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."
Ejhe, ndo ishara jha mwibetakupelibhwa, bhwa mwibetakunkolela muana akongibhu nghobho na agonili mu liholi lya kulesela bhanyama.”
13 And immediately there was with the angel a multitude of the army of Heaven praising God and saying,
Ghafla kwajhele ni kijeshi kibhaha lya kumbinguni lyaungena Ni malaika ojhu bhakansifu k'yara bhakajobha,
14 "Glory be to God in the highest Heavens, And on earth peace among men who please Him!"
“Utukufu kwa K'yara j'ha ajhele kunani, ni amani ij'helayi pa duniani kwa bhoha bhaipendesibhwa nabhu.”
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."
Ikajha kwamba malaika bhobhamalikubhoka kulota kumbinguni, bhachungaji bhakajobhe sana bhene kwa bhene, “Tulotayi henu khola Bethlehemu, na tukalolayi khenu ekhe ambakyo kih'omili, ambakyo Bwana atujobhili.”
16 So they made haste and came and found Mary and Joseph, with the babe lying in the manger.
Bhakaharakisya khola, na bhan'kolili Mariamu ni Yusufu, na bhambwene muana agonili mu liholi lya kulesele bhanyama.
17 And when they saw the child, they told what had been said to them about Him;
Na bhobhabhuene naha, bhakabhajulisha bhanu khela kyabhajobhibhu kuhusu muana.
18 and all who listened were astonished at what the shepherds told them.
Bhoha bhabhepeliki habari ejhe bhasyangesibhu ni khela kyakyajobhibhu ni bhachungaji.
19 But Mary treasured up all these things, often dwelling on them in her mind.
Lakini Mariamu ajhendelili kufikiri kuhusu ghoha ghaamali kughap'eleka, aghatunzili mu muoyo ghwa muene.
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.
Bhachungaji bhakakerebhuka bhakantukusya ni kun'sifu k'yara kwandabha jha khila khenu kyabhamali kup'eleka ni kulola, kama tukyajhikajhele jhinenibhu kwa bhene.
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.
Bhojhifikili ligono lya nane na jhajhele ndo wakati bhwa kun'tahiri muana, bhakan'kuta lihina Yesu, lya amalikupelibhwa ni jhola malaika kabla jha luleme kut'ongibhwa mulileme.
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--
Zao lyalilondekeghe lya utakaso bho sipetili, kul'engana ni sheria jha Musa, Yusufu ni Mariamu bhakampeleka ku hekalu khola Yerusalemu kumb'eka palongolo pa Bwana.
23 as it is written in the Law of the Lord: "Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord."
Kama kyajhalembibhu mu sheria sya Bwana, “khila n'gosi jhaafungulibhu lileme ni ibetakukutibhwa jhaapisibhu bhakfu kwa Bwana.”
24 And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord, "a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons."
Bhabhu ni bhene bhahidili kupisya sadaka kulengana ni khela kyakijobhibhwa mu sheria jha Bwana, Jozi jha jhebha au makinda mabhele gha njebha.”
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.
Langayi, pajhele ni munu mu Yerusalemu ambajhe lihina lya muene akutibhweghe Simeoni. Munu ojho ajhele mwenye haki ni mcha Mungu. Muene akajha ilendela kwandabha jha mfariji ghwa Israeli, ni Roho mtakatifu ajhele panani pa muene.
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.
Jhamali kufunulibhwa kwa muene kupetela Roho mtakatifu kujha muene ngaafwilepi kabla jha kumbona kristu Bwana.
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,
Ligono limonga ahidili mugati mu hekalu, alongosibhu ni Roho mtakatifu. Ambapo bhazazi bhandetili muana, Yesu, kumbombela ghala ghaghalondekejhe jha sheria,
28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
Ndipo Simeoni ampokili mu mabhoko gha muene, ni kun'sifu k'yara ni kujobha,
29 "Now, O Sovereign Lord, Thou dost send Thy servant away in peace, in fulfilment of Thy word,
“Henu ruhusuayi n'tumishi ghwa jhobhi alotayi kwa amani Bwana, kulengana ni lilobhi lya jhobhi.
30 Because mine eyes have seen Thy salvation,
Kwa kujha mihu ghangu ghaubhwene wokovu bhwa jhobhi,
31 Which Thou hast made ready in the sight of all nations--
ambabho bhubhonekene kwa mihu gha bhanu bhoha.
32 A light to shine upon the Gentiles, And the glory of Thy people Israel."
Muene ndo nuru kwandabha jha ufunuo kwa bhamataifa ni utukufu bhwa bhanu Israeli.”
33 And while the child's father and mother were wondering at the words of Symeon concerning Him,
Dadi ni Mabhu ghwa bhana bhasyangesibhu kwa mambo ghaghalongeliki juu jha bhene.
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;
Ndipo Simeoni akabhabariki ni kujobha Mariamu nyinamunu, “Pelekesiajhi kwa ndabha jha kujhagha ni kuokoka kwa bhanu bhingi mu Israeli na ndo ishara ambajho bhanu bhingi bhibeta kujhipinga.
35 and a sword will pierce through your own soul also; that the reasonings in many hearts may be revealed."
Kabhele ndo upanga bhwawibeta kuhoma nafsi jha jhobhi ghwe muene, ili kwamba mabhwasu gha mioyo jha bhingi jhidhihirikayi”.
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,
Nabii n'dala jhaakutibhweghe Ana ajhele mu hekalu. Muene ajhele binti ghwa Fanueli kuhoma kabila lya Asheri. Ajhele ni miaka ghimehele sana. Ni muene atamili ni n'gosi kwa miaka sana baada jha kubhonana,
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.
Na ndipo akajha mjane kwa miaka themanini na nne. Ni muene abhwayilepi kubhoka mu hekalu na akajha ijhendelela kumwabudu K'yara pamonga ni kufunga ni kus'oka, kiru ni musi.
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.
Na kwa wakati obhu ahidili pala pa bhajhele akajhanda kun'shuru k'yara. Alongili kumhusu muana kwa khila munu ambajhe alendeleleghe ukombozi bhwa Yerusalemu.
39 Then, as soon as they had accomplished all that the Law required, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
Bho bhamalili khila khenu kya bhalondeghe kubhomba kulengana ni sheria jha Bwana, bhakakerebhuka Galilaya, kumjini kwa bhene, Nazareti.
40 And the child grew and became strong and full of wisdom, and the favour of God rested upon Him.
Muana akholili, na ajhe ni nghofu, akajhongeseka katika hekima, ni neema jha K'yara jhajhele panani pa muene.
41 Now His parents used to go up year by year to Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover.
Bhazazi bha mwene khila mwaka bhalotili Yerusalemu kwandabha jha sikukuu jha Pasaka.
42 And when He was twelve years old they went up as was customary at the time of the Feast, and,
Bhoajhe ni umri wa miaka kumi hi mibhele, bhakalota kabhele wakati muafaka kidesturi kwandabha jha sikukuu.
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,
Baada jha kubhakila magono ghoha kwandabha jha sikukuu bhajhandili kukerebhuka kunyumba. Lakini n'gosi Yesu abakili kunyuma m'ola mu Yerusalemu ni bhazazi bha muene bhamanyilepi e'le.
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;
Bhadhanieghe ajhele mu likundi lya bhasafirieghe nalu, hivyo bhasafiri safari jha ligono. Ndipo bhakajhanda kundonda miongoni mwa bhalongo munu ni marafiki bha bhene.
45 but being unable to find Him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for Him.
Bhobhashindilu kun'kabha, bhakakerebhuka Yerusalemu ni kujhanda kundonda omu.
46 On the third day they found Him in the Temple sitting among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking them questions,
Jhatokili kwamba baada jha magono madatu, bhakan'kabha mu hekalu, akajha atamili pagati pa bhalimu, akabhap'elekesya ni kubhakhota maswali.
47 while all who heard Him were astonished at His intelligence and at the answers He gave.
Bhoha bhabhampelekisi bhasyangesibhu ni ufahamu bhwa muene ni majibu gha muene.
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."
Bho bhambwene, bhastajabili. Nyinamunu akan'jobhela, “Mwanabhangu, kwandabha jhakiki ukatubhombela naha? Pelekesiajhi, Dadi waku ni nene tukulondili kwa wasiwasi mbaha.”
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?"
Akabhajobhela, “kwandabha jhakiki mnilondeghe? Mwamanyilepi kujha lazima nijhelayi mu nyumba jha dadi jhangu?
50 But they did not understand the significance of these words.
Lakini bhanjelibhu lepi kiki akimaanishieghe kwa malobhi aghu.
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.
Ndipo akalota pamonga nabhu mpaka kunyumba Nazareti na ajhele mtii lwa bhene. Nyinamunu ahifadhili mambo ghoha mu muoyo ghwa muene.
52 And as Jesus grew older He gained in both wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Lakini Yesu ajhendelili kukhola katika hekima ni kimo, na ajhongesiki kuganikibhwa ni k'yara ni bhanu.
