Luke 2
1 Just at this time an edict was issued by Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole Empire.
nambeambe katika lichoba liyo, yatibonekana kwamba kaisari Agusto apiite agizo kumuelekeza kwamba itolekwe sensa ya bandubaatama mulunia.
2 It was the first registration made during the governorship of Quirinius in Syria;
Yeno yabile ni sensa ya kwanza yaipangilwe muda Krenio abile gavana wa Siria.
3 and all went to be registered--every one to the town to which he belonged.
nyoo kila yumo atiyenda mjini kwayenda yakuandikisha 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,
Niywembe Yusufu atiboka kae katika mji wa Nazaleti kwa Galilaya na atisafiri Yudea kwa mji wa Bethlehemu, utangilikwa kati mji wa Daudi, kwa sababu atepitiya lukoloo lwa Daudi.
5 to have himself registered together with Mary, who was betrothed to him and was with child.
Atiyenda kwa kujiandikicha pamope na Mariamu, ywembe abile kobeka na abile pekaniliya mwana.
6 But while they were there, her full time came,
Nambeyambe atikuipya kwamba, pabile kolo muda wake wa papa mwana utimile.
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.
Apapite mwana nnalome, mmbeleko wake wa kwanza, atikumbilingia ngobo muyega atikumlendelana mbepo mwana. Boka po atikumbeka kwenye liholilyalelya inyama, kwasababu yabile ntopo nafasi kwenye nyumba ya wageni.
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 lelo, babile bachungaji mmigunda batilendanga kipenga sa ngondolo wabe kilo.
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 wa Ngwana atibonekana, na utukufu wa Ngwana uting'ara kubatindiya, ni babile na hofu muno.
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 atikuwabakia “Lana muyogope”kwa sababu natikubaletya habari njema ambayo ipala kululetya puraha ngolo kwa bandu boti.
11 For a Saviour who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David.
Leno mwokozi atibelekwa kwaajili yinu mjini mwa Daudi! ywembe nga Kristu Ngwana!
12 And this is the token for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."
Yeno nga ishara ambayo tupeilwe, mpala kumkolia mwana atitabilwa ngobo ni atigonja ku'liholi lya lelilya inyama.”
13 And immediately there was with the angel a multitude of the army of Heaven praising God and saying,
Ghafla kwabile na jeshi likolo lya kumaundebatiungana na malaika hago batikumsifu Nnongo, batibaya, “
14 "Glory be to God in the highest Heavens, And on earth peace among men who please Him!"
Utukufu kwa Nnongo ywa abile kunani muno, ni amani ibi mukilambo kwa boti bapendezwa nae.”
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."
Yabile kwamba malaika payomwike boka yenda kumaunde, bachungaji batibakiana bene kwa bene, “tuyende na mbeyambe kolo Bethlehemu, na tukannole cheno kilebe ambacho kitibonekana, ambacho Ngwana atitubakia.”
16 So they made haste and came and found Mary and Joseph, with the babe lying in the manger.
Batiyombeteka kolo, na batikunkoliya Mariamu na Yusufu, bamweni mwana atigonja ku'holi la, lelya inyama.
17 And when they saw the child, they told what had been said to them about Him;
Na bapamweni nyoo, batekuwabakiya bandu celo chabakibweni batibakilwa chakimhusu mwana.
18 and all who listened were astonished at what the shepherds told them.
Boti babayowine habari yeno batishangara na chelo chabalongei na bachungaji.
19 But Mary treasured up all these things, often dwelling on them in her mind.
Lakini Mariamu atiyendelea fikiri husu gooti yayomwike kuyapekaniya, atikuyatunza mwoyoni mwake.
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.
Bachungaji babuyangite batikumtukuza na kumsifu Nnongo kwaajili ya kila kilebe chabakipekani na kukibona, kama tu yaibile inenwa kwabe.
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.
Payeikite lichiba lya nane na yabile ni muda wa ina mwana, batikumkema lina Yesu, lina lapeilwe na yolo malaika kabla ya kundumbo inatunga kwaa ndumbo.
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--
Mazao yagapalikwa ya utakaso zapitike, lingana na sakiya ya Musa, Yusufu na Mariamu bampotwike kulihekalu kolyo Yerusalemu kum'beka nnonge ya Ngwana.
23 as it is written in the Law of the Lord: "Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord."
Kati yaiandikilwe katika saliya ya Ngwana, “kila nnalome yayogowa ndumbo ndumbo apala kemelwa ywapiitwe wakfu kwa Ngwana.”
24 And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord, "a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons."
Balo nyanyanya baichile piya sadaka lengana na chelo chakibailwe katika saliya ya Ngwana, “Jozi ya ngunda ama mabunda mabele ya ngunda.”
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.
Linga, pabile na mundu katika Yerusalem ambaye lina lyake abile akemelwa Simeoni. mundu ywa abi na haki na mcha Nnongo. Ywembe abile atilenda kwaajili ya mfariji wa Israel, na Roho mpeletau abi kunani yake.
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.
Yabile iyomwike tunuliwa kwa ywembe ywa Roho mpeletau kwomba ywembe apala waa kaa kabya ya kum'mona Kristob wa Ngwana.
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,
lichoba limo aichile nkati ya hekalu, ationgozwa na Roho mpeletau, ambapo azazi batikunleta mwana, Yesu, kumpangia galo yapalikwe kawaida ya saliya.
28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
ndipo Simeoni atipokiya kwaluboko lwake, na atikumsifu Nnongo nabaya,
29 "Now, O Sovereign Lord, Thou dost send Thy servant away in peace, in fulfilment of Thy word,
“Nambeyambe ruhusa mtumishi wako ayende kwa amani Ngwana, lengana na Neno lyako.
30 Because mine eyes have seen Thy salvation,
Kwa kuwa minyo gango yabwe ni wokovu wako,
31 Which Thou hast made ready in the sight of all nations--
ambao utibonekana kwa minyo ya bandu boti.
32 A light to shine upon the Gentiles, And the glory of Thy people Israel."
Ywembe ni nuru kwaajili ya ufunuo kwa bamataifa na utukufu wa bandu baisraeli.”
33 And while the child's father and mother were wondering at the words of Symeon concerning Him,
Tate na mao ba mwana batishangala kwa makowe ambayo atilongela kunani yake.
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 atikuwabariki na baya kwa Mariamu mao bake, “pekaniya kwa makini! mwana yo atakuwa sababu ya obiya na okoka kwa bandu benge katika Israel na ni ishara ambayo bandu benge bataikana.
35 and a sword will pierce through your own soul also; that the reasonings in many hearts may be revealed."
Pia ni upanga wapala kuchoma nafsi yako na mwene, ili kwamba mawaso ya mioyo ya benge yatangike.”
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 nnwawa akemelwa Ana pia abile mulihekalu. ywembe abile nwawa wa Fanueli boka likabila lya Asheri. Abii na miaka yanambone muno. Naye atitama na nchengowe kwa miaka saba baada ya kobekwa.
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 abii mjane kwa miaka themanini na ncheche. Naye abile kwaa boka muhekalu na abile atiyendelea kumuabudu Nnongo pamope na taba roba, kilo na mutwekati.
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 muda woo, aichile palo pabile natumbwa shukuru Nnongo, nalongela husu mwana kwa kila mundu ambaye abile akilenda ukombozi wa Yerusalemu.
39 Then, as soon as they had accomplished all that the Law required, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
Pabayomwile kila kile chawapalike panga lingana na saliya ya Ngwana, batibuya Galilaya, mjini kwabe, Nazareti.
40 And the child grew and became strong and full of wisdom, and the favour of God rested upon Him.
Mwana atikola, na abii na ngupu, atiyongezeka katika hekima, na neema ya Nnongo yabile kunani yake.
41 Now His parents used to go up year by year to Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover.
Wazazi bake kila mwaka batiyenda Yerusalem kwaajili ya sikukuu ya Pasaka.
42 And when He was twelve years old they went up as was customary at the time of the Feast, and,
Pabile na umri wa miaka komi na ibele, batiyenda kae muda mwafaka kidesturi kwaajili ya 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 ya bakia machoba goti kwaajili ya sikukuu, batumbwile buyangana kunyumba. lakini nnalome Yesu atiigala nnchogo mwolo Yerusalem na wazazi bake batangite kwaa.
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;
Batangite kwamba abile mu'kipenga cha babile nabo musafari, batibutuka safari ya lichoba limo, ndipo batumbwile kumpala miongoni mwa anunange na marafiki wabe.
45 but being unable to find Him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for Him.
Pabashindwile kumpala, batibuya Yerusalem na tumbwa kumpala.
46 On the third day they found Him in the Temple sitting among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking them questions,
Itibonekana kwamba baada ya lichoba lya itatu, batikumpata hekaluni, abi atitama katikati ya baalimu, akibapekania na kuwalokiya maswali.
47 while all who heard Him were astonished at His intelligence and at the answers He gave.
Boti bayowine batishangala na ufahamu wake na majibu gake.
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."
Pmweni, batishangala, mao bake atikumkumbatia, mwanango, namani cha ututendeite nyaa? Pekani, tate boka na nee tutikupala kwa wasiwasi nkolo.”
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?"
Atikuwabakia,'kitumbwe namani kunipala? mwatangite kwaa kwamba lazima nibii ku'nnyumba ya Tate bangu?
50 But they did not understand the significance of these words.
Lakini baelewite kwaa namani chamaanisha kwa maneno galo.
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 ayeii pamope nao mpaka kaya Nazareti na abile mtii kwabe. Mao bake abekite makowe goti moyoni mwake.
52 And as Jesus grew older He gained in both wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Lakini Yesu atiendelea kola katika hekima na kimo, na azidite pendwa na Nnongo na bandu.
