Luka 2
1 Woli ku nsiku ejo, yabhonekene ati Kaisali Agusito asosishe obhulaka naikati bhugegibhwe obhukumi bhwa bhanu bhona munsi.
Just at this time an edict was issued by Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole Empire.
2 Bhunu bhwaliga bhuli bhubhasi bhwo kwamba bhunu bhakolekene omwanya gunu Kilenio ali mukama wa Siliya.
It was the first registration made during the governorship of Quirinius in Syria;
3 Kulwejo bhuli munu nagenda mumusi gwabho okubhalwa obhukumi.
and all went to be registered--every one to the town to which he belonged.
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 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,
5 Agendeleyo okwiyandika amwi na Maliyamu, unu aliga ali no bhuko nage naliga nibhenda obhona omwana.
to have himself registered together with Mary, who was betrothed to him and was with child.
6 Oli jabhonekene ati, bhachali eyo omwanya gwo kwibhula nigukinga.
But while they were there, her full time came,
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 first-born son, and wrapped Him round, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Mulubhala olwo, bhaliga bhalio abhalefi bhanu bhaliga bhekae mumashamba nibhalinda amaijo ga jinyabhalega jebhwe mungeta.
Now there were shepherds in the same part of the country, keeping watch over their sheep by night in the open fields,
9 Aonao, Malaika wa Latabhugenyi nabhabhonekela, na likusho lya Latabhugenyi ndinyenyegela okubheinda, nibhabha no bhubha muno.
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.
10 “Niwo malaika nabhabhwilati,”Mutaja kubhaya, kulwokubha enibhaletela emisango jo bhwana jinu ejija okuleta bhukondelewe bhunene ku bhanu bhona.
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.
11 Lelo Omuchungusi ebhulwa ingulu yemwe mumusi gwa Daudi! omwene niwe Kilisto Latabhugenyi!
For a Saviour who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David.
12 Chinu nicho echibhalikisho chinu omuja oyanwa, omuja okumusanga omwana abhoelwe emyenda na amamile mu chigoli cho kulebhela jintyanyi.”
And this is the token for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."
13 Aonao nilibhao eijo enene elya mulwile nibha amwi na malaika oyo nibhamukusha Nyamuanga, nibhaikati,
And immediately there was with the angel a multitude of the army of Heaven praising God and saying,
14 “Likusho libhe ku Nyamuanga unu ali ingulu muno, no mulembe gubhe muchalo ku bhanu bhona bhanu kakondelelwa nabho.”
"Glory be to God in the highest Heavens, And on earth peace among men who please Him!"
15 Bhejile bhamalaika bhamala okugenda mulwile, abhalefi nibhaikana abhene kwa bhene, Chigende woli eliya Betelehemu, chijolola chinu chabhonekana, chinu Latabhugenyi achimenyesha.”
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."
16 Nibhanguya okuja eliya, na nibhamusanga Maliamu na Yusufu, na nibhamulola omwana amamile muchigoli echokulisishamo jintyanyi.
So they made haste and came and found Mary and Joseph, with the babe lying in the manger.
17 Bhejile bhalola kutyo, nibhabhwila abhanu chinu bhaliga bhabhwiliwe ingulu yo mwana.
And when they saw the child, they told what had been said to them about Him;
18 Bhona bhonguhye emisango ejo nibhalugula chinu chaikilwe na bhalefi.
and all who listened were astonished at what the shepherds told them.
19 Tali Maliyamu nagendelela okwiganilisha kujona jinu aligaonguhye, nagabhika mumwoyo gwae.
But Mary treasured up all these things, often dwelling on them in her mind.
20 Abhalefi nibhasubha nibhamukusha no kumukuya Nyamuanga ku lwa bhuli chinu chinu bhonguhye no kulola, lwakutyo jaiga jaikilwe kubhene.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen in accordance with the announcement made to 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 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.
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 for their purification appointed by the Law of Moses had passed, they took Him up 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.”
as it is written in the Law of the Lord: "Every first-born male 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 they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord, "a pair of turtle doves 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.
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.
26 Aliga amalile okuswelulibhwa no mwoyo mwelu ati atakufwa achali kumulola Kilisto wa Latabhugenyi.
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.
27 Lusiku lumwi ejile munda ya iyekalu, natangasibhwa no Mwoyo Mwelu. Anu abhebhusi nibhamuleta omwana, Yesu, okumukolela ganu galiga geile okulubhana ne bhilagilo,
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,
28 Niwo Simiyoni namulamila mumabhoko gae, na namukuya Nyamuanga naikati,
he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
29 “Woli numwikilishe omukosi wao agende kwo mulembe Latabhugenyi, okulubhana na ligambo lyao.
"Now, O Sovereign Lord, Thou dost send Thy servant away in peace, in fulfilment of Thy word,
30 Kulwokubha ameso gani galola omwelulo gwao,
Because mine eyes have seen Thy salvation,
31 Gunu ogubhonekana mumeso gabhanu bhona.
Which Thou hast made ready in the sight of all nations--
32 Omwene ni bhwelu bhwo obhuswelulo ku bhanu bha Maanga na likushyo kubhanu bha Isilaeli.”
A light to shine upon the Gentiles, And the glory of Thy people Israel."
33 Esemwene na Nyilamwene nibhalugushwa na magambo ganu galomwaga ingulu yae.
And while the child's father and mother were wondering at the words of Symeon 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.
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;
35 Nawe ni panga linu elisoma mumwoyo gwao omwene, koleleki obhwiganilisha bhwe mioyo ja bhamfu jibhonekane.”
and a sword will pierce through your own soul also; that the reasonings in many hearts may be revealed."
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,
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,
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 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.
38 Nakumwanya ogwo, ejile anu bhaliga bhali namba okumusima Nyamuanga. Alomele ingulu yo mwana kubhuli munu unu aliga nalinda omwelulo gwa Yelusalemi.
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.
39 Bhejile bhamala bhuli chinu jinu jaliga jiile okukolwa okulubhana na ebhilagilo bhya Latabhugenyi, nibhasubha Galilaya, mumusi gwabho, Najaleti.
Then, as soon as they had accomplished all that the Law required, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
40 Omwana akulile, na nabha namanaga, nabha no bhwengeso, ne chigongo cha Nyamuanga chaliga chili ingulu yae.
And the child grew and became strong and full of wisdom, and the favour of God rested upon Him.
41 Abhebhusi bhae bhuli mwaka bhagendaga Yelusalemu ingulu yo lusiku lukulu olwa ipasaka.
Now His parents used to go up year by year to Jerusalem at 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.
And when He was twelve years old they went up as was customary at the time of the Feast, and,
43 Bhejile okusigala nsiku jona ingulu yo lusiku lukulu, nibhamba okusubha mumisi jebhwe. Tali omusigaji Yesu asigae inyuma Muyelusalemu na abhebhusi bhae bhatamenyaga ogwo.
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,
44 Bhetogelagati alimo mwiijo linu bhaliga nibhalibhata nalyo, kulwejo nibhalibhata lugendo lwa lusiku lumwi. Niwo nibhamba okumuyenja mubhaili na mubhasani bhebhwe.
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;
45 Bhejile bhasingwa okumubhona, bhasubhile Yelusalemu nibhamba okumuyenja omwo.
but being unable to find Him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for Him.
46 Nibhonekana ati bhejile bhamala nsiku esatu, nibhamubhona mwi yekalu, enyanjile agati ya bheigisha, nabhategelesha no kubhabhusha amabhusho.
On the third day they found Him in the Temple sitting among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking them questions,
47 Bhona bhanu bhamunguhye bhalugulile obhwengeso bhwae na masubhyo gae.
while all who heard Him were astonished at His intelligence and at the answers He gave.
48 Bhejile bhamubhona, nibhalugula. Nyila mwene namubhwilati,”Mwana wani, kulwaki wachikola kutya? Tegelesha, esomwana nanye chaliga nichikuyenja kwo kwitimata muno.”
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."
49 Nabhabhwila ati,”Kulwaki aliga nimunyenja? Mtamenyagati jinyiile okubhamo mu nyumba ya Lata wani?
"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?"
50 Tali bhatamenyele chinu aliga naikilila ku magambo ago.
But they did not understand the significance of these words.
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 Nazareth, and was always obedient to them; but His mother carefully treasured up all these incidents in her memory.
52 Tali Yesu agendelee okukula mu bhwengeso no bhukulu, nagendelela okwendwa na Nyamuanga na bhanu.
And as Jesus grew older He gained in both wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
