Luke 2
1 Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
Pwu ifigono ifyo, yikhahumila ukhuta Ukaisari Agusto akhahumya ululagilo lwa alikuvavula ukhuta yitowwe mbalilo ya vanu voni avitama nkilunga.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Iyi yale mbalilo ya kwanda vyuyavombiwe imisikhi gya kvenio vu imbaha va Siria.
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
Pwu kila munu uviavinchaga akhaluta khukhilunga kya mwene kusimba mbalilo.
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,
Nu Yusufu akhaga novope mkhilungwe kya Nasaleti ya Mgalilaya pwu ali khugenda mkhilunga kya mbetelehemu, kya manyikhikhe ukhuta khilunga kya Ndaveti, ulwakhuva ahumile mu khikholo kya Ndaveli.
5 to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
Akhalufa ukhwa khukhisimba paninie nu Maliya, uvi uyu ali ng'ija va mwene khange alikhwihuvila umwana.
6 While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
Pwu yikhahumila ukhuta, vuvalyukhu unsikhi gwa mwene gwa khuhola umwana gukhe fikhe.
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.
Akhifungula umwana undemi, ung'oliwa va mwene uva khwanja, akhamfwalincha imienda yilekha ukhwingila imepu umwana pwa akhambikha mlitenchi ilya khulela ifikonu, ulwakhuva yikhasikuli inyumba ya vugenji.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Pwu apene apo, valepo avademi vali khutama khufyalo valikudema ifipuga fya Ng'osi ncha vene pakhilo.
9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Gafla, usungwa va Nkuludeva akhavahumila, nu lumuli lwa Nkuludeva lukhamulikha ukhuvanchungula, pwu vakhava nu vudwanchi fincho.
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.
Pwu usung'wa akhavavula, mlekhe ukhudwada, ulwakhuva ni khuvagegela inongwa imonu iyuyigega uluhekhelo uluvaha khivanu voni.
11 For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Ilelo umpokhi aholiwe khuliumwe mkhilunga kya Daveli! Umwene vi Nkristi Unkuludeva!
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
Ikhi khyu khimanyilo ni khuvapa, mkumbona umwana apinyiwe imyanda igona mkhitanchi kya khulisihincha ifikanu.”
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
Gafla khkha na avasikhali vingi ilya khukhyanya likhalungana nane usung'wa uywa valikunginia Unguluve, valinkuta, “Uvuvalanche vwa Unguluve uvyahikhu khyanya fincho nu hinonchehencho luve Nkilunga kuvoni uvu onongwa.”
14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
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.”
Pwu yikheva Avasungwa avile vahegile ukhuluta khukhyanya, avademi vakhincho fanji vako, “Tuvukhe lino kwu Betelehemu, tu khalole ikhinu ikhi ikhihumile, ambacho Bwana ametufahamisha.”
16 They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Vagaha khimbivi mbivi ukhu vakhembona Umaliya nu Yusufu, pwu vakha mbona nu mwana igona mu khetenchi kya fiko.
17 When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Vavila valolile evwo vakhavavula avanu ikyu vavuliwe khu mwana.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Voni avapulike inongwa iyi valikudega ikhichovivwe ni vademi.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Pwu Umaliya alikupisaga khugoni ugwo apulikhe, akhagavikha munumbula ya mwene.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Avademi vakhavuya nu khuginia Unguluve kwu fyoni ifyu vapulikhe nu khulola, nduvu vwu lilikhuchovivwa khuvone.
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.
Kyavilekhefikhe ikhigono ikya nene gwale gunsikhi gwa ukhukeketa umwana, vakhamwilanga ilitavwa lya mwene vi Yisu, ilitavwa ilyu ampile unsung'wa vusahifikhe uvuchitu mwitumbu.
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
Inchavene inchilikulunchiwa uvuvalanche vu chilutile, ukhukongana ni ndagilo cha Mose, u Yusufu nu Maliya vukhangilikha khutembile khukhumbikha khuvulongolo kwa Nkuludeva.
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
Nduvu yisimbiwe mndagilo cha nuludeva, “Khila ngosi uvi idindula ilitumbu ikhwilangiwa uvinchumichiwe nekhelo kwu kuludeva.”
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.”
Na vope valikhwicha kwihumya inekhelo ukhukongana ni kyu khicho vivwa mu ndagila vha Nkuludeva, “Injiva au ifyana fya Njiva.”
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.
Lola, pale nu munu mu Yelusalemu ailangivwaga vi Simeoni, umunu uyu ali nu wayilweli munu va Nguluve. Umwene alikupu likhila uvakuchesya mu Israeli, nu mepo umbalawe ale khumwene.
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.
Yikhadenduliwe khumwene ukhugendela kwa mepo umbalache ukhuta umwene sakhale ifwa vwu sambwene Ukristi va Nkuludeva.
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,
Ikhigono ikhinge akhicha mgati mtembile, akhalongochiwa nu mepu umbalache upwu avahonchi vakhandata umwana, Yesu, ukhumbombela gala aginogiwa ukhukongana ni ndagilo,
28 then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
pwu Simoni akhamwupilila mmavoko ga mwene, akhaginia Unguluve nu khuta,
29 “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
“Lino ing'eche umbonbi vakho alutage nu lunochehecho lwa Ntwa, ukhuvongano ni limenyu lyako.
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
Ukhwakhuva miho gango gavuwene uvupokhi vwakho,
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
uvwo vuvonikhe pamiho gavanu voni.
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
Umwene ve humhli kuluvonekhelo khufihunga nu vuvalache vwa vane va Israeli.”
33 Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
Udada ni mama va mwana vulikudeva imbombo ichilikhuchovi vwa kwu mwene.
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.
Pwu Usimoni akhavasaya akhatakhwa Maliya umamaye, “Pulihicha vunonu umwana uyu yiva nongwa ya khuyancha nu khupokha kwu vanu vingi mu OIsraeli khange khimanyilo ikhyu ikhi avanu vingi ya vi becha. Khange panga iyu yikave yi nyanya inyivonelo chakho yuve, yive amasago ga numbula ya vingi yivonesye.”
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
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,
Unyamalago udala uvialikwilanyiwa Ana nevopo alemwo mtembile. Umwene ale mwana va Fanueli ukhuhuma mkhivumbu kho kya asheri. Ale ni figono fingi ficho. Navope alikhutama nu gosi va mwene imiaka saba vuvatoline,
37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
pwu akha ijane imiakha themanini na minne. Navope sagala ahage mtembile alikhugendelela ukhudova Unguluve nu khudova, pakhilo na pamusi.
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.
Khunsikhu ug'wa akhicha pala upwu valipwo akhatengula ukhundimya Unguluve. Alikhuchova inongwa cha mwana kwu munu nu munu uviavechaga uvialikhugulila uvupokhi vwa Yerusalemu.
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.
Vuvamalile kila khila khinu ikhyu khinogiwa ukhuvomba ukhukongana ni ndagilo cha Nkuludeva, vakhakhivokha kwu Galilaya, kwu khilunga kya vene, Nazareti.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Umwana akhekula, akhava na makha, alikhukula nu luhala, nu luhunga lwa Nguluve lukhava khumwene.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
Avahochi va mwene gunafike umwakha valikhula khu Yerusalemu kwu sikhukhuu ya Pasaka.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
Avile iva ni miakha kumiho miwili, vakhaluta khange khu nsikhi gwa nyiho kwu sikhukhuu.
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,
Vu vasigile isikhu choni kwu sikhukhuu, vakhatengula ukhuvuya khumiavo, pwu udemi u Yisu akha sigala khusana Myerusalemu khange avahochi savakhalumanya.
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
Valikhuta pwale alimlipuga ilivali kugendania, pwu vakhagenda ficho ulugendo lwa sikhu. Pwu vakhatengula ukhuhunela muvalukhulo lwavo, mvamanyani.
45 When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
Vavile valemwile ukhumbona, vakhaki lwukha kwu Yerusalemu pwu vakhatengula ukhundanda umwa.
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.
Yikhahumila ukhuta vuchifikhe iskhu itetu, vakhambona Mtembile, achige atamila pagati pa vamanyisi, ikhuvapulihiche nu kuvavucha.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Voni uvuva mpulihiche valikhudega nu luhala lwa mwene ni nyandilo che mwene.
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.”
Vuvile vumbwene, valikudega. Uvanina akhambula, “Manango, khekhiutuvombile evwo? Pulihicha udada vakha nayune tulikhukhulonda nu vudwachi vuvaha.”
49 He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
Akhavanda, “Khekhi mlikhondonda? Samukhalumanye ukhuta une nive kwu nyumba ya Dada vango?
50 They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Pope savakhalumanya inogwa ukhuta khekhi mmanyu aga.
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.
Pu akhahega paninie na vene, ukhu fikha khumyavoyo kwu Nazareti khange ale mwidihichi khuvene. Uvanina akhavikha aga munumbula ya mwene.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Pwu Yisu alikhula nu luhala na kutoga, nu khuganiwa nu Nguluve na vanu.
