Luke 2
1 Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
Mu bilumbu bina, ntinu Sezari Ogisite wuvana lutumu lu tangabatu boso disasama va ntoto wumvimba.
2 This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Disasama beni diawu diba dithete divangama mu thangu Kiliniusi kaba nyadi wu Sili.
3 All went to enrol themselves, everyone to his own city.
Kadika mutu wuyenda kisonikisa ku divula diandi.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
Sumbu Zefu kaba mu nkuna wu Davidi, diawu kabotukila ku divula di Nazaleti, mu tsi yi Ngalili mu kuenda mu tsi yi Yuda ku divula di Betelemi, divula di Davidi.
5 to enrol himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
Wuyenda va kimosi ayi Maliya, nketo wukazola kuela, wuba mu buemba.
6 While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
Buna badi ku Betelemi, Maliya wutula mu thanguꞌandi yibutila.
7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Buna wubuta muana wubakala: muanꞌandi wuthete. Wunzinga mu minledi ayi wuntula mu dikulu ki bibulu bila bibuangu bisia bakana ko mu diambu diawu mu zinzo zinlekanga banzenza.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Minsungi mi mamemi miba mu zitsola zizungidila zunga beni mibansunga mu nkielo buisi minkangu miawu mimamemi.
9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Kuna mbasi yi Pfumu yiba monikina ayi nkembo wu Pfumu wubazungidila. Buna tsisi yingolo yiba buila.
10 The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
Vayi mbasi yiba kamba: —Bikanu mona boma. Tsangu yimboti ndilunatini. Yikuiza monisabatu boso khini.
11 For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.
Bila buabu balubutidi Mvulusi mu divula di Davidi. Niandi Mesiya, Pfumu.
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
Luela mona muana wu tsombi zingulu mu minledi ayi tululu mu dikulu ki bibulu. Kiawu kioki dimbu luela kunzabila.
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
Buela zimbukila nkangu wu zimbasi ziba mu dikabu di masodi ma diyilu wumonika va ndambu mbasi beni. Nkangu beni wuyimbila minzitusu mi Nzambi:
14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will towards men.”
Nkembo kuidi Nzambi yizangama Ndembama va ntoto kuidi batu baketa zola.
15 When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Zimbasi bu zibika minsungi, zivutuka ku diyilu, buna minsungi mi mameme mikambasana miawu na miawu ti: —Bika tuendanu ku Betelemi mu kuenda tadi mambu momo mavangimini kuna; momo Pfumu katusamunini.
16 They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Bayenda nsualu ayi bayenda bata Maliya ayi Zefu va kimosi ayi muana wu tsombi wulekusu mu dikulu ki bibulu.
17 When they saw it, they publicised widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Buna baba mona, basamuna mambu moso momo baba kamba mu diambu di muana.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Babo bobo bawu wawu, basimina buwombo mu diambu di mambu momominsungi mi mameme miba kamba.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Vayi Maliya wulunda mambu moso ayi wuba ku mayindulanga mu ntimꞌandi.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Bosi minsungi mivutuka, minkembisa ayi minsanisina Nzambi mu diambu di mamo ma bamona ayi ma bawa. Mawu maba banga kuandi bu babakambila mawu.
21 When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Dinana di bilumbu bu biduka, thangu yi zengisa lunitu lu kibakala lu muana bu yifuana, buna bamvana dizina Yesu. Diawu dizina divana mbasi tuamina nguandi kaba mu buemba buandi.
22 When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
Bilumbu bizengu mu Mina mi Moyize mu diambu di tsukudulu awu bu bifuana, bambuta ba Yesu zinnata ku Yelusalemi mu diambu dikummonisa kuidi Pfumu.
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
Boso buidi busonama mu Mina mi Pfumu ti: Woso muana wuthete wu bakala wumbutuka, wela tambuku kuidi Pfumu.
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.”
Bayiza diaka mu diambu di tambika dikaba boso buididi mu Minami Pfumu: biduka biodi voti bana buadi ba mabembi.
25 Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
Mutu wumosi wuba ku Yelusalemi, dizina diandi Simewoni. Wubamutu wufuana ayi wusonga. Wuba vingila mbombolo yi Iseli ayi Pheve Yinlongoyiba va niandi.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Bila Pheve Yinlongo yinkamba ti kalendi vika fua ko enati kamuenieti ko Klisto yi Pfumu.
27 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
Niandi wuyiza ku nzo Nzambi mu lutumunu lu Mpeve Yinlongo. Mu thangu bambuta ba Yesu zinata muana mu diambu di dukisa mambu madi mu Mina,
28 then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
buna Simewoni wunsimba mu mioko ayi wusanisina Nzambi bu katuba:
29 “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
A Pfumu, yekula buabu kisadi kiaku kienda mu ndembama boso buididi tsilꞌaku
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
bila meso mama manueni phulusu aku
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
yoyi wukubika mu diambu di batu boso
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
yawu yidi muinda mu diambu di kienzula makanda; ayi nkembo wu Iseli, batu baku.
33 Joseph and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
Dise ayi ngudi basimina buwombo mu wa mambu katuba mu diambu diandi.
34 Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
Simewoni wuba sakumuna ayi wukamba Maliya, nguandi Yesu ti: —Tala muana wawu wu kubukulu mu diambu di buisa ayi mu telimisa batu bawombo mu Iseli. Wela ba dimbu kiela bangusanga bawombo;
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
muingi mayindu ma mintima mi batu bawombo matotuka. Vayi kuidi ngeyo veka, wela ba banga mbedi yela tobul mpeve aku.
36 There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
Mbikudi wumosi wu nketo wuba diaka muna. Dizina diandi Anna, muana Fenueli, wuba mu dikanda di Aseli. Wuba wununa ngolo. Tsambudi di mimvu kaka kavuandila va makuela mu bumuana buandi.
37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.
Bosi wukituka difuola ayi wuzingila mu kidifuola nate mu tezo ki lunana lu mimvu ayi mimvu minya. Kadi lumbu kimosi kasia bika ko nzo Nzambi bila muna kaba nsadilanga Nzambi builu ayi muini mu lusambulu ayi mu kukifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu.
38 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
Niandi mamvandi bu kayiza muna thangu yina, wusanisina Nzambi ayi wuyolukila mambu ma muana kuidi batu bobo baba mvingilanga khudulu yi Yelusalemi.
39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
Bu bamana dukisa mambu momo masonama mu Mina mi Pfumu, Maliyaayi Zefu bafutuka ku buala buawu, Nazaleti, didi mu Ngalili.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Muana wuyunduka ayi wukinda. Diela diwombo diba yandi ayi nlemvo wu Nzambi wuba mu niandi.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
Kadika mvu bambuta ba Yesu ziba kuendanga ku Yelusalemi mu nyengo Pasika.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
Yesu bu kadukisa kumi mimvu miodi buna bayenda ku Yelusalemi, mu diambu di nyengo, boso bubela kifu kiawu.
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,
Nyengo bu wumanisa, bavutuka kuawu. Vayi muanꞌawu Yesu wusiala ku Yelusalemi ayi bambuta bandi zisia bu zaba ko.
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him amongst their relatives and acquaintances.
Bawu babanzila ti widi muidi bakundi bawu bayenda yawu va kimosi. Bu badiata lumbu kimvimba, buna batona kuntomba muba bibutu biawu ayi bazabana yawu.
45 When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
Vayi sumbu basia kummona ko; diawu bavutukila ku Yelusalemi mu kuenda ntombi.
46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
Bilumbu bitatu bu bivioka, bambakula muna nzo Nzambi, buna kavuendi va khatitsika minlongi mi mina. Wuba wa ayi wuba yuvula biuvu.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Babo bobo banwa, basimina mu diambu di diela diandi ayi mu diambu di mimvutuziandi.
48 When they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”
Zimbuta bandi zisimina buwombo bu zimmona vana. Buna nguandi wunkamba: —Muanꞌama, bila mbi wutuvangidi bobo e? Zebi kuaku ti siaku ayiminu tsisi yiwombo tumueni ayi tutombidi ngolo.
49 He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
Buna Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bila mbi lufueti kuthombila e? Lusi zaba ko ti mfueti ba mu nzo yi dise diama?
50 They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Vayi basia sudika ko mambu momo ka bakamba.
51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Buna wuyenda yawu ayi wuvutuka ku Nazaleti. Wuba tumukina. Vayi nguandi wulunda bumboti mambu moso momo mavioka.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
Yesu wuyunduka mu nduenga ayi mu ntela. Khini yiwombo kamonisa Nzambi ayi batu.
