1 Pwu ifigono ifyo, yikhahumila ukhuta Ukaisari Agusto akhahumya ululagilo lwa alikuvavula ukhuta yitowwe mbalilo ya vanu voni avitama nkilunga.
In those days Augustus Caesar issued an edict for a census of the whole inhabited world.
2 Iyi yale mbalilo ya kwanda vyuyavombiwe imisikhi gya kvenio vu imbaha va Siria.
This was the first census, When Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Pwu kila munu uviavinchaga akhaluta khukhilunga kya mwene kusimba mbalilo.
And every one went to be registered, each to the town to which he belonged.
4 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.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city if Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David.
5 Akhalufa ukhwa khukhisimba paninie nu Maliya, uvi uyu ali ng'ija va mwene khange alikhwihuvila umwana.
He went to be registered along with Mary, who was espoused to him, and was pregnant.
6 Pwu yikhahumila ukhuta, vuvalyukhu unsikhi gwa mwene gwa khuhola umwana gukhe fikhe.
But while they were there the days were fulfilled for her delivery.
7 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.
And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Pwu apene apo, valepo avademi vali khutama khufyalo valikudema ifipuga fya Ng'osi ncha vene pakhilo.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
9 Gafla, usungwa va Nkuludeva akhavahumila, nu lumuli lwa Nkuludeva lukhamulikha ukhuvanchungula, pwu vakhava nu vudwanchi fincho.
When suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they feared with a great fear. The angel said to them.
10 Pwu usung'wa akhavavula, mlekhe ukhudwada, ulwakhuva ni khuvagegela inongwa imonu iyuyigega uluhekhelo uluvaha khivanu voni.
"Have no fear, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.
11 Ilelo umpokhi aholiwe khuliumwe mkhilunga kya Daveli! Umwene vi Nkristi Unkuludeva!
"For unto you born this day in there is born in David’s town a Saviour, who is the Anointed Lord.
12 Ikhi khyu khimanyilo ni khuvapa, mkumbona umwana apinyiwe imyanda igona mkhitanchi kya khulisihincha ifikanu.”
"And this is a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes lying in a manger."
13 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.”
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly army praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, And in earth peace among men who please him"
15 Pwu yikheva Avasungwa avile vahegile ukhuluta khukhyanya, avademi vakhincho fanji vako, “Tuvukhe lino kwu Betelehemu, tu khalole ikhinu ikhi ikhihumile, ambacho Bwana ametufahamisha.”
Now when the angels had left them, and gone away to heaven, the shepherds said to one to another, "Let us go now even to Bethlehem, and see this saying which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."
16 Vagaha khimbivi mbivi ukhu vakhembona Umaliya nu Yusufu, pwu vakha mbona nu mwana igona mu khetenchi kya fiko.
so they made haste, and came and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
17 Vavila valolile evwo vakhavavula avanu ikyu vavuliwe khu mwana.
When they had seen, they made known about the words which had been spoken to them concerning the child.
18 Voni avapulike inongwa iyi valikudega ikhichovivwe ni vademi.
And all who heard it were astonished at the things which were told to them by the shepherds.
19 Pwu Umaliya alikupisaga khugoni ugwo apulikhe, akhagavikha munumbula ya mwene.
But Mary treasured up all those words, Often pondering on on them in her heart.
20 Avademi vakhavuya nu khuginia Unguluve kwu fyoni ifyu vapulikhe nu khulola, nduvu vwu lilikhuchovivwa khuvone.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying God and praising him for all those things that they had seen and heard, even as it was told to them.
21 Kyavilekhefikhe ikhigono ikya nene gwale gunsikhi gwa ukhukeketa umwana, vakhamwilanga ilitavwa lya mwene vi Yisu, ilitavwa ilyu ampile unsung'wa vusahifikhe uvuchitu mwitumbu.
When eight days had passed, and the time had come to circumcise him, he was called Jesus, the name given him by the angel before his conception in the womb.
22 Inchavene inchilikulunchiwa uvuvalanche vu chilutile, ukhukongana ni ndagilo cha Mose, u Yusufu nu Maliya vukhangilikha khutembile khukhumbikha khuvulongolo kwa Nkuludeva.
And when the days for purification according to the law of Moses had passed, they took him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
23 Nduvu yisimbiwe mndagilo cha nuludeva, “Khila ngosi uvi idindula ilitumbu ikhwilangiwa uvinchumichiwe nekhelo kwu kuludeva.”
as it is written in the law of Moses, Every firstborn male shall be called holy to the Lord.
24 Na vope valikhwicha kwihumya inekhelo ukhukongana ni kyu khicho vivwa mu ndagila vha Nkuludeva, “Injiva au ifyana fya Njiva.”
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, 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.
Now there was in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon. He was righteous and devout, and was waiting for the consolation of Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 Yikhadenduliwe khumwene ukhugendela kwa mepo umbalache ukhuta umwene sakhale ifwa vwu sambwene Ukristi va Nkuludeva.
Now it has been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Ikhigono ikhinge akhicha mgati mtembile, akhalongochiwa nu mepu umbalache upwu avahonchi vakhandata umwana, Yesu, ukhumbombela gala aginogiwa ukhukongana ni ndagilo,
And he came into the Temple, led by the Spirit. and when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
28 pwu Simoni akhamwupilila mmavoko ga mwene, akhaginia Unguluve nu khuta,
he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
29 “Lino ing'eche umbonbi vakho alutage nu lunochehecho lwa Ntwa, ukhuvongano ni limenyu lyako.
"Now lettest thou thy slave depart, O Master; according to thy word in peace,
30 Ukhwakhuva miho gango gavuwene uvupokhi vwakho,
"Because my eyes had seen the salvation,
31 uvwo vuvonikhe pamiho gavanu voni.
"Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 Umwene ve humhli kuluvonekhelo khufihunga nu vuvalache vwa vane va Israeli.”
"A light for the unveiling of the Gentiles And the glory of thy people Israel."
33 Udada ni mama va mwana vulikudeva imbombo ichilikhuchovi vwa kwu mwene.
And while his father and mother were marveling at the words that were spoken concerning him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother.
34 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.”
"Behold this child is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
Yea, and a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, that the thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."
36 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,
There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in age, having lived with her husband seven years, after her girlhood,
37 pwu akha ijane imiakha themanini na minne. Navope sagala ahage mtembile alikhugendelela ukhudova Unguluve nu khudova, pakhilo na pamusi.
and then being a widow even for fourscore and four years. She departed not from the temple, but worshiped with the fasting and prayer, night and day.
38 Khunsikhu ug'wa akhicha pala upwu valipwo akhatengula ukhundimya Unguluve. Alikhuchova inongwa cha mwana kwu munu nu munu uviavechaga uvialikhugulila uvupokhi vwa Yerusalemu.
She came up at that very hour, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 Vuvamalile kila khila khinu ikhyu khinogiwa ukhuvomba ukhukongana ni ndagilo cha Nkuludeva, vakhakhivokha kwu Galilaya, kwu khilunga kya vene, Nazareti.
As soon as all that the law required had been done, they returned to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.
40 Umwana akhekula, akhava na makha, alikhukula nu luhala, nu luhunga lwa Nguluve lukhava khumwene.
And the child grew and became strong, becoming full of wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Avahochi va mwene gunafike umwakha valikhula khu Yerusalemu kwu sikhukhuu ya Pasaka.
Now his parents were accustomed to go up to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
42 Avile iva ni miakha kumiho miwili, vakhaluta khange khu nsikhi gwa nyiho kwu sikhukhuu.
And when he was twelve years old they went up, as was customary, at the time of the feast
43 Vu vasigile isikhu choni kwu sikhukhuu, vakhatengula ukhuvuya khumiavo, pwu udemi u Yisu akha sigala khusana Myerusalemu khange avahochi savakhalumanya.
After spending the full number of days they started home, but the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know this,
44 Valikhuta pwale alimlipuga ilivali kugendania, pwu vakhagenda ficho ulugendo lwa sikhu. Pwu vakhatengula ukhuhunela muvalukhulo lwavo, mvamanyani.
but supposed that he was in the company, and went a days journey. Then they hunted for him among his kinsfolk and acquaintance;
45 Vavile valemwile ukhumbona, vakhaki lwukha kwu Yerusalemu pwu vakhatengula ukhundanda umwa.
and when they did not find him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for him.
46 Yikhahumila ukhuta vuchifikhe iskhu itetu, vakhambona Mtembile, achige atamila pagati pa vamanyisi, ikhuvapulihiche nu kuvavucha.
On the third day they found him sitting in the Temple, among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking questions.
47 Voni uvuva mpulihiche valikhudega nu luhala lwa mwene ni nyandilo che mwene.
All that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 Vuvile vumbwene, valikudega. Uvanina akhambula, “Manango, khekhiutuvombile evwo? Pulihicha udada vakha nayune tulikhukhulonda nu vudwachi vuvaha.”
When they saw him they were astonished, and his mother said to him "Child, why have you treated us so? Behold your father and I have been looking for you in anguish."
49 Akhavanda, “Khekhi mlikhondonda? Samukhalumanye ukhuta une nive kwu nyumba ya Dada vango?
He answered, "Why is it that you have been looking for me, did you not realize that I had to be in my Father’s house?"
50 Pope savakhalumanya inogwa ukhuta khekhi mmanyu aga.
But they did not understand the words that he spoke to them.
51 Pu akhahega paninie na vene, ukhu fikha khumyavoyo kwu Nazareti khange ale mwidihichi khuvene. Uvanina akhavikha aga munumbula ya mwene.
Then he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was always obedient to them. But his mother kept treasuring up all these incidents in her hearts.
52 Pwu Yisu alikhula nu luhala na kutoga, nu khuganiwa nu Nguluve na vanu.
And Jesus was ever advancing in wisdom and in status and in favor with God and man.
