Luke 2
1 Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
Ka nako e Kaesare Aguseto, Kgosi e kgolo ya Roma a ntsha molao wa gore merafe yotlhe e kwalwe.
2 This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Go kwalwa mo go ne ga dirwa ka lobaka lwa Kwirinio e le molaodi wa Siria.
3 All went to enrol themselves, everyone to his own city.
Mongwe le mongwe o ne a kopiwa go boela kwa ga gabo mogolo go ikwadisa.
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,
Mme Josefe ka e ne e le ngwana wa bogosi, a tshwanelwa ke go tswa kwa motseng wa Galalea wa Nasaretha a etela kwa Bethelehema mo Judea legae la bogologolo la ga Kgosi Dafide.
5 to enrol himself with Miriam, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
A tsamaya le Marea, mmeelediwa wa gagwe yo o neng a bonala a le moimana ka nako e.
6 While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
Mme fa ba sa le teng foo, lobaka lwa tla lwa gore ngwana a tsholwe;
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.
mme a tshola ngwana wa ntlha, e le mosimane. A mo phuthela ka kobo a mmaya mo bojelong jwa diruiwa, gonne ba ne ba sena bonno mo motseng wa baeti.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Bosigo joo badisa bangwe ba bo ba le mo nageng kwa ntle ga motse, ba disitse letsomane la bone la dinku.
9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Ka tshoganetso moengele a iponatsa mo go bone mme lefatshe la phatsima ka ntlha ya kgalalelo ya Morena, mme ba tshoga thata.
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.
Mme moengele a ba nametsa a re, “Se boifeng!” “Ke lo lereditse mafoko a boitumelo jo bogolo jo bo tlaa bolelwang ka bosakhutleng, mme ke jwa mongwe le mongwe!
11 For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Saviour, who is Messiah the Lord.
Mmoloki ee, Mesia o tsetswe bosigong jono mo Bethelehema!
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
Lo tlaa mo lemoga jang? Lo tlaa bona losea lo phuthetswe mo kobong, lo robaditswe mo bojelong!”
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
Ka tshoganetso moengele a tlhakana le lesomo le legolo la ba bangwe ebong mephato ya legodimo ba baka Modimo ba opela ba re:
14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will towards men.”
“Kgalalelo e nne go Modimo kwa magodimong, le kagiso mo lefatsheng mo go botlhe ba ba mo itumedisang.”
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.”
Erile mophato o mogolo wa baengele o sena go boela gape kwa legodimong, badisa ba raana ba re, “A re yeng! A re yeng kwa Bethelehema! A re yeng go bona kgakgamatso e e diragetseng, e Morena o re boleletseng kaga yone.”
16 They came with haste and found both Miriam and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Mme ba sianela kwa motseng ba tsaya tsela e e yang kwa go Marea le Josefe. Mme ga bo go le ngwana a rapame mo bojelong.
17 When they saw it, they publicised widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Badisa ba bolelela mongwe le mongwe kaga se se diragetseng le se moengele o se ba boleletseng kaga ngwana yo.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Botlhe ba ba utlwileng polelo ya badisa ba gakgamala.
19 But Miriam kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Mme Marea a baya dilo tse mo pelong ya gagwe ka tidimalo mme a akanya kaga tsone gantsi.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Hong badisa ba boela gape kwa nageng kwa letsomaneng la bone, ba galaletsa Modimo kaga go etelwa ke moengele le gore ba bone ngwana, fela jaaka baengele ba ba boleletse.
21 When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Yeshua, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Morago ga malatsi a fera bobedi, kwa tirelong ya thupiso ya losea, a rewa leina gatwe Jesu, leina le o le neilweng ke moengele pele ga a ise a ithwalwe.
22 When the days of their purification according to the Torah of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
E rile fa nako e tla ya gore Marea a ntshe tshupelo ya ntlafatso kwa tempeleng, ka fa melaong ya ga Moshe morago ga botsalo jwa ngwana, batsadi ba gagwe ba mo tseela kwa Jerusalema go ya go mo neela mo Moreneng;
23 (as it is written in the Torah of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
Gonne mo melaong e go tulwe, “Fa ngwana wa ntlha wa mosadi e le mosimane, o tlaa neelwa Morena.”
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the Torah of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
Ka nako eo batsadi ba ga Jesu le bone ba ntsha setlhabelo sa bone sa go itshekisiwa, a e ka nna maphoi a le mabedi! kgotsa maebana a mabedi! E ne e le kopo e e ka fa molaong.
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.
Ka letsatsi leo monna yo o bidiwang Simione moagi wa Jerusalema, o na a le mo tempeleng. E ne e le monna yo o siameng, morapedi yo mogolo, a tletse Mowa o o Boitshepo ebile ka metlha yotlhe a solofetse Mesia go tla ka bonako.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.
Gonne Mowa o o Boitshepo o ne o iponaditse mo go ene gore ga a na go swa go fitlhelela a bona kgosi e e tloditsweng ya Modimo.
27 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Yeshua, that they might do concerning him according to the requirement of the Torah,
Mowa O O Boitshepo o ne wa mo tlhotlheletsa go ya kwa tempeleng ka letsatsi leo; mme jalo fa Marea le Josefe ba goroga go neela Jesu mo Moreneng ka go ikobela molao,
28 then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
Simione o ne a le teng mme a tsaya ngwana ka mabogo a gagwe, a baka Modimo.
29 “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
A re, “Morena. Jaanong ke ka a swa ka kagiso! Gonne ke mmone jaaka o ntsholofeditse gore ke tlaa mmona, ke bone Mmoloki yo o mo neileng lefatshe.
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
Ke lesedi le le tlaa phatshimelang dichaba, e bile o tlaa nna kgalalelo mo bathong ba gago ba Iseraele!”
33 Joseph and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
Marea le Josefe ba ema fela foo, ba gakgamalela se se buiwang kaga Jesu.
34 Simeon blessed them, and said to Miriam, 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.
Simione a ba segofatsa mme a raya Marea a re, “Chaka e tlaa tlhaba mowa wa gago, gonne ngwana yo o tlaa ganwa ke batho ba le bantsi mo Iseraele ka ntlha ya tshenyego ya bone. Mme o tlaa nna boipelo jo bogolo jwa ba bangwe ba le bantsi. Le dikakanyo tse di kwa teng tsa dipelo tse di ntsi di tlaa senolwa.”
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
36 There was one Hannah, a prophetess, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
Ana, moporofiti wa mosadi o na a le teng ka letsatsi leo. E ne e le morwadia Fanuela, wa morafe wa Sejuta wa ga Ashere, mme o ne a tsofetse, gonne e ne e le motlholagadi wa selekanyo sa dingwaga di le masome a fera bobedi le bone go tloga mo dingwageng di supa tsa lenyalo la gagwe, o ne a seka a tloga mo tempeleng mme a nna teng bosigo le motshegare, a obamela Modimo ka go rapela le go itima dijo gantsi.
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.
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.
A atamela fa Simione a sa ntse a bua le Marea le Josefe, mme a simolola go leboga Modimo le go itsise mongwe le mongwe mo Jerusalema yo a neng a letile go tla ga Mmoloki kaga kgorogo ya ga Mesia.
39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Torah of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
Erile batsadi ba ga Jesu ba sena go diragatsa gotlhe mo go neng go tlhokwa ke Molao wa Modimo ba boela gae kwa Nasaretha mo Galalea.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Koo ngwana a feta a nna mosimane yo o thata yo o nonofileng, a ba a itsiwe ka botlhale jo bo fetileng dingwaga tsa gagwe; mme Modimo wa gorometsa matlhogonolo a one mo go ene.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
Erile Jesu a le dingwaga di le lesome le bobedi a tsamaya le batsadi ba gagwe go ya kwa moletlong wa Tlolaganyo o ba neng ba o tsena ngwaga le ngwaga.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Yeshua stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,
Morago ga moletlo ba simolola go boela gae kwa Nasaretha, mme Jesu a sala mo Jerusalema. Mme batsadi ba gagwe ga ba a ka ba mo tlhoka letsatsi la ntlha,
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.
gonne ba ne ba gopola gore o na le ditsala mo baeting ba bangwe. Mme erile fa a sa bonale mo maabanyaneng ao, ba simolola go mmatla mo ditsaleng tsa bone.
45 When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
Mme ya re ba sa mmone, ba boela kwa Jerusalema go ya go mmatla teng.
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.
Morago ga malatsi a mararo ba mmona. O ne a le mo Tempeleng, a ntse fa gare ga baruti ba molao, a ganetsanya le bone ka dipotso tse di thata mme a gakgamatsa mongwe le mongwe ka kitso ya gagwe le dikarabo.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
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.”
Mme batsadi ba gagwe ba se ka ba itse gore ba ka akanyang fa ba mmona a ntse foo a didimetse. Hong mmaagwe a mo raya a re, “Morwaaka! Ke eng fa o re diretse jaana. Rrago le nna re go batlile ka tlhoafalo gongwe le gongwe?”
49 He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
Mme a ba raya a re, “Lo ne lo mpatlelang? A lo ne lo sa lemoge gore ke tlaa bo ke le fano mo Tempeleng, mo tlung ya ga Rre?”
50 They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Mme ba bo ba sa tlhaloganye gore o raya jang.
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.
Hong a boela kwa Nasaretha le bone a ba utlwa; mme mmaagwe a boloka dilo tse tsotlhe mo pelong ya gagwe.
52 And Yeshua increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
Mme Jesu a gola a nna moleele ebile a le botlhale, mme a ratwa ke Modimo le batho.
