Luka 2
1 Woli ku nsiku ejo, yabhonekene ati Kaisali Agusito asosishe obhulaka naikati bhugegibhwe obhukumi bhwa bhanu bhona munsi.
Now it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole inhabited world should be enrolled.
2 Bhunu bhwaliga bhuli bhubhasi bhwo kwamba bhunu bhakolekene omwanya gunu Kilenio ali mukama wa Siliya.
This first census took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.
3 Kulwejo bhuli munu nagenda mumusi gwabho okubhalwa obhukumi.
So everyone was traveling, each to his own town, to enroll himself.
4 Yusufu ona nasoka mumusi gwa Najaleti eyo Galilaya nasafili Yudeya mu musi gwa Beteleemu, gunu gwaliga nigumenyekana ati musi gwa Daudi, kulwokubha asokele mu luganda lwa Daudi.
So Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of Natsareth town, into Judea to the city of David, that is called Bethlehem, because he was of David's ‘house’, that is, line of descent,
5 Agendeleyo okwiyandika amwi na Maliyamu, unu aliga ali no bhuko nage naliga nibhenda obhona omwana.
to enroll himself with Mary, the woman who had been betrothed to him, who was pregnant.
6 Oli jabhonekene ati, bhachali eyo omwanya gwo kwibhula nigukinga.
So it happened that when they got there the days for her to give birth were completed;
7 Nebhula omwana we chilume, omwibhulwa wae owokwamba, namufwafya emyenda ataja kubhona mbeo omwana. Niwo namuta muchigoli echokulisishamo jintyanyi, kulwokubha bhatabhwene bhwanya mu nyumba ja bhagenyi.
and she gave birth to her firstborn Son, wrapped Him in pieces of cloth and laid Him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the lodging place.
8 Mulubhala olwo, bhaliga bhalio abhalefi bhanu bhaliga bhekae mumashamba nibhalinda amaijo ga jinyabhalega jebhwe mungeta.
Now there were shepherds in that same area, staying out in the field and keeping the nightly watches over their flock.
9 Aonao, Malaika wa Latabhugenyi nabhabhonekela, na likusho lya Latabhugenyi ndinyenyegela okubheinda, nibhabha no bhubha muno.
When wow, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 “Niwo malaika nabhabhwilati,”Mutaja kubhaya, kulwokubha enibhaletela emisango jo bhwana jinu ejija okuleta bhukondelewe bhunene ku bhanu bhona.
The angel said to them: “Do not be afraid because listen, I am announcing the most joyful news to you, which will be to all the people!
11 Lelo Omuchungusi ebhulwa ingulu yemwe mumusi gwa Daudi! omwene niwe Kilisto Latabhugenyi!
You see, today, in David's city, a Savior was born to you, who is Lord Christ!
12 Chinu nicho echibhalikisho chinu omuja oyanwa, omuja okumusanga omwana abhoelwe emyenda na amamile mu chigoli cho kulebhela jintyanyi.”
And this is the sign to you: you will find a Baby wrapped in pieces of cloth, lying in a manger.”
13 Aonao nilibhao eijo enene elya mulwile nibha amwi na malaika oyo nibhamukusha Nyamuanga, nibhaikati,
Suddenly a multitude of the heavenly army was with the angel praising God and saying,
14 “Likusho libhe ku Nyamuanga unu ali ingulu muno, no mulembe gubhe muchalo ku bhanu bhona bhanu kakondelelwa nabho.”
“Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward mankind!”
15 Bhejile bhamalaika bhamala okugenda mulwile, abhalefi nibhaikana abhene kwa bhene, Chigende woli eliya Betelehemu, chijolola chinu chabhonekana, chinu Latabhugenyi achimenyesha.”
So when the angels went away from them into the sky the men, the shepherds, said to one another, “Hey, let's go to Bethlehem and see this event that has taken place, that the Lord made known to us!”
16 Nibhanguya okuja eliya, na nibhamusanga Maliamu na Yusufu, na nibhamulola omwana amamile muchigoli echokulisishamo jintyanyi.
So they went in a hurry and located both Mary and Joseph, and the Baby lying in the manger.
17 Bhejile bhalola kutyo, nibhabhwila abhanu chinu bhaliga bhabhwiliwe ingulu yo mwana.
And having seen they spread an exact account of the saying that had been spoken to them concerning this Child.
18 Bhona bhonguhye emisango ejo nibhalugula chinu chaikilwe na bhalefi.
All who heard marveled at the things told them by the shepherds.
19 Tali Maliyamu nagendelela okwiganilisha kujona jinu aligaonguhye, nagabhika mumwoyo gwae.
As for Mary, she treasured all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 Abhalefi nibhasubha nibhamukusha no kumukuya Nyamuanga ku lwa bhuli chinu chinu bhonguhye no kulola, lwakutyo jaiga jaikilwe kubhene.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God over all that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
21 Lwejile okukinga olusiku lwa nane yaliga guli mwanya gwo kumutenda omwana, nibhamubhilikila Yesu, lisina linu ayanibhwe na malaika oyo achali na kujila nda,
When eight days were completed so as to circumcise Him, His name was indeed called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
22 Jejile jikalabhao jinsiku jo kusomoka, okulubhana na bhilagilo bhya Musa, Yusufu na Maliyamu nibhamusila mwi yekalu eliya Yelusalemi okumta imbele ya Latabhugenyi.
And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they took Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
23 Lwakutyo jandikilwe mu bhilagilo bhya Latabhugenyi,”Bhuli mulume unu kamba okwibhulwa katogwa unu asosibhwe ku Latabhugenyi.”
(just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens a womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
24 Abhenene ona bhejile okusosha echogo okulubhana na chinu chaikilwe mu bhilagilo bhya Latabhugenyi,”Njibha ebhili amwi bhana bhabhili bha jinguti.”
and to offer a sacrifice according to what was specified in the Lord's Law, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons”.
25 Lola, aliga alio munu umwi mu Yelusalemu unu abhilikilwaga lisina lyae Simiyoni. omunu unu aliga alimulengelesi na namulamyaga Nyamuanga. Omwene aliga nalinda okulola omusimbagilisha wa Isilaeli, no mwoyo mwelu aliga ali ingulu yae.
Well now, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, expectantly waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 Aliga amalile okuswelulibhwa no mwoyo mwelu ati atakufwa achali kumulola Kilisto wa Latabhugenyi.
(It had been revealed to him repeatedly by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he saw the Lord's Messiah.)
27 Lusiku lumwi ejile munda ya iyekalu, natangasibhwa no Mwoyo Mwelu. Anu abhebhusi nibhamuleta omwana, Yesu, okumukolela ganu galiga geile okulubhana ne bhilagilo,
So by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought the Child Jesus in, to do concerning Him according to the custom of the law,
28 Niwo Simiyoni namulamila mumabhoko gae, na namukuya Nyamuanga naikati,
Simeon took Him into his arms and blessed God and said:
29 “Woli numwikilishe omukosi wao agende kwo mulembe Latabhugenyi, okulubhana na ligambo lyao.
“Sovereign, now You can release your slave in peace, according to Your word,
30 Kulwokubha ameso gani galola omwelulo gwao,
because my eyes have seen Your salvation,
31 Gunu ogubhonekana mumeso gabhanu bhona.
which You have prepared before the face of all peoples:
32 Omwene ni bhwelu bhwo obhuswelulo ku bhanu bha Maanga na likushyo kubhanu bha Isilaeli.”
a light for revelation to Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.”
33 Esemwene na Nyilamwene nibhalugushwa na magambo ganu galomwaga ingulu yae.
And Joseph and His mother were marveling at the things being spoken concerning Him.
34 Niwo Simiyoni nabhasabhwila amabhando na naika ku nyila mwene Maliyamu ati,”Tegelesha kwo bhwenge! Omwana unu kaja kubha njuno yo kubhula no kukila kwa bhanu bhamfu mu Isilaeli na nichibhalikisho chinu bhanu bhamfu abhaja okuchilema.
Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother: “Listen, this One is appointed to bring about the fall and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that is spoken against,
35 Nawe ni panga linu elisoma mumwoyo gwao omwene, koleleki obhwiganilisha bhwe mioyo ja bhamfu jibhonekane.”
so that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed (furthermore, a sword will pass through your own soul also).”
36 Omulagi omugasi unu atogwaga Ana ona aliga alimo mwi yekalu. Omwene aliga ali muyala wa Fanueli okusoka muluganda lwa Asheli. Aliga ali ne miyaka myamfu muno. Ekae no mulume wae miyaka saba bhatwalene,
Also there was a prophetess Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher—she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity
37 Nio nafwilwa omulume nekala miyaka makumi munana nena. Omwene atasoka mwiyekalu na aliga nagendelela okumulamya Nyamuanga amwi no kusibha no kusabha, mungeta na mumwisi.
and having been a widow for about eighty-four years—who did not depart from the temple, serving God with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 Nakumwanya ogwo, ejile anu bhaliga bhali namba okumusima Nyamuanga. Alomele ingulu yo mwana kubhuli munu unu aliga nalinda omwelulo gwa Yelusalemi.
Well she, having come up at that very moment, started praising the Lord, and kept on speaking of Him to all those in Jerusalem who were looking for redemption.
39 Bhejile bhamala bhuli chinu jinu jaliga jiile okukolwa okulubhana na ebhilagilo bhya Latabhugenyi, nibhasubha Galilaya, mumusi gwabho, Najaleti.
When they had completed everything, according to the law of the Lord, they went back to Galilee, to their own town, Natsareth.
40 Omwana akulile, na nabha namanaga, nabha no bhwengeso, ne chigongo cha Nyamuanga chaliga chili ingulu yae.
And the Child kept growing and being strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom; yes, the grace of God was upon Him.
41 Abhebhusi bhae bhuli mwaka bhagendaga Yelusalemu ingulu yo lusiku lukulu olwa ipasaka.
Now every year His parents would go to Jerusalem to the feast of the Passover;
42 Ejile abha ne miyaka ekumi ne bhili, bhagendele lindi lwa kutyo jintugwa jebhwe jaliga jili ingulu yo lusiku lukulu.
so when He was twelve years old they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
43 Bhejile okusigala nsiku jona ingulu yo lusiku lukulu, nibhamba okusubha mumisi jebhwe. Tali omusigaji Yesu asigae inyuma Muyelusalemu na abhebhusi bhae bhatamenyaga ogwo.
When they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but Joseph and His mother did not know it.
44 Bhetogelagati alimo mwiijo linu bhaliga nibhalibhata nalyo, kulwejo nibhalibhata lugendo lwa lusiku lumwi. Niwo nibhamba okumuyenja mubhaili na mubhasani bhebhwe.
Supposing Him to be in the caravan, they went a day's journey and then started looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Bhejile bhasingwa okumubhona, bhasubhile Yelusalemu nibhamba okumuyenja omwo.
Not finding Him, they returned to Jerusalem seeking Him.
46 Nibhonekana ati bhejile bhamala nsiku esatu, nibhamubhona mwi yekalu, enyanjile agati ya bheigisha, nabhategelesha no kubhabhusha amabhusho.
So it happened that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
47 Bhona bhanu bhamunguhye bhalugulile obhwengeso bhwae na masubhyo gae.
(All who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.)
48 Bhejile bhamubhona, nibhalugula. Nyila mwene namubhwilati,”Mwana wani, kulwaki wachikola kutya? Tegelesha, esomwana nanye chaliga nichikuyenja kwo kwitimata muno.”
So upon seeing Him they were amazed, and His mother said to Him: “Son, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in distress.”
49 Nabhabhwila ati,”Kulwaki aliga nimunyenja? Mtamenyagati jinyiile okubhamo mu nyumba ya Lata wani?
So He said to them: “Why were you seeking me? Didn't you know that I must be about my Father's concerns?”
50 Tali bhatamenyele chinu aliga naikilila ku magambo ago.
But they did not understand the statement that He made to them.
51 Niwo nagenda amwi nabho okukinga ika Najaleti na aliga ali mwikeyi kubhene. Nyila mwene abhikile amagambo ago mumwoyo gwae.
Then He went down with them and came to Natsareth, and continued subordinating Himself to them; His mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Tali Yesu agendelee okukula mu bhwengeso no bhukulu, nagendelela okwendwa na Nyamuanga na bhanu.
And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
