Luka 2
1 Henu mu magono aghu, jhatokili kwamba Kaisari Agusto ahomisi lilaghisu kujhelesya kujha jhitolibhwayi sensa jha bhanu bhoha bhabhiishi pa dunia.
Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole empire should be enrolled.
2 Ejhe jhajhele sensa jha kwanza jhajhabhombiki wakati Krenio ndo gavana bhwa Siria.
This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Efyo, kila mmonga akalota kumjini kwa muene kujhandikisya sensa.
All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
4 Ni muene Yusufu akabhoka kabhele mu mji bhwa Nazareti okhu Galilaya ni kusafiri Yudea mu mji bhwa Bethlehemu, bhwa umanyikene kama mji bhwa Daudi, kwandabha jhatokili mu lukholo lwa Daudi.
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;
5 Alotili okhu kwijhandikisya pamonga ni Mariamu, ambajhe amposili na akajha ilolelela muana.
to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him, being pregnant.
6 Henu jhatokili kujha, bhobhajhele khola wakati bhwa muene bhwa kwifungula muana bhwa wadili.
It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.
7 Akahogola muana ghwa kigos, mzalibhwa bhwa muene bhwa kuanza, akan'syongosela ngobho mb'ele bhuoha kun'kenga muana ni mepu. Ndipo akambeka mu kihori kya kulesela bhanyama kwandabha jhajhelepi nafasi mu nyumba jha bhahesya.
And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him with pieces of cloth, and placed him in a feeding trough, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 Katika eneo e'lu, bhajhele bhachungaji bhabhatameghe kumigonda bhakajha bhilenda makundi gha kondoo bha bhene pakiru.
There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 Ghafla, malaika bha Bwana akabhatokela, ni bhutukufu bhwa Bwana bhwa langele kubhasyongoka, na bhajhe ni bhuogha sana.
And look, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 Ndipo malaika akabhajobhela, “Musitili, kwa ndabha ni kabhaletela habari jhinofu ambajho jhileta furaha mbaha kwa bhanu bhoha.
The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for see, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
11 Lelu mwokozi ahogoliki kwandabha jhinu kumjini kwa Daudi! muene ndo Kristu Bwana!
For there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ, the Lord.
12 Ejhe, ndo ishara jha mwibetakupelibhwa, bhwa mwibetakunkolela muana akongibhu nghobho na agonili mu liholi lya kulesela bhanyama.”
This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
13 Ghafla kwajhele ni kijeshi kibhaha lya kumbinguni lyaungena Ni malaika ojhu bhakansifu k'yara bhakajobha,
Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying,
14 “Utukufu kwa K'yara j'ha ajhele kunani, ni amani ij'helayi pa duniani kwa bhoha bhaipendesibhwa nabhu.”
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward humankind."
15 Ikajha kwamba malaika bhobhamalikubhoka kulota kumbinguni, bhachungaji bhakajobhe sana bhene kwa bhene, “Tulotayi henu khola Bethlehemu, na tukalolayi khenu ekhe ambakyo kih'omili, ambakyo Bwana atujobhili.”
And it happened that when the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."
16 Bhakaharakisya khola, na bhan'kolili Mariamu ni Yusufu, na bhambwene muana agonili mu liholi lya kulesele bhanyama.
They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
17 Na bhobhabhuene naha, bhakabhajulisha bhanu khela kyabhajobhibhu kuhusu muana.
When they saw it, they made known the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18 Bhoha bhabhepeliki habari ejhe bhasyangesibhu ni khela kyakyajobhibhu ni bhachungaji.
All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 Lakini Mariamu ajhendelili kufikiri kuhusu ghoha ghaamali kughap'eleka, aghatunzili mu muoyo ghwa muene.
But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 Bhachungaji bhakakerebhuka bhakantukusya ni kun'sifu k'yara kwandabha jha khila khenu kyabhamali kup'eleka ni kulola, kama tukyajhikajhele jhinenibhu kwa bhene.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
21 Bhojhifikili ligono lya nane na jhajhele ndo wakati bhwa kun'tahiri muana, bhakan'kuta lihina Yesu, lya amalikupelibhwa ni jhola malaika kabla jha luleme kut'ongibhwa mulileme.
When eight days were fulfilled to circumcise him, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Zao lyalilondekeghe lya utakaso bho sipetili, kul'engana ni sheria jha Musa, Yusufu ni Mariamu bhakampeleka ku hekalu khola Yerusalemu kumb'eka palongolo pa Bwana.
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
23 Kama kyajhalembibhu mu sheria sya Bwana, “khila n'gosi jhaafungulibhu lileme ni ibetakukutibhwa jhaapisibhu bhakfu kwa Bwana.”
(as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb will be called holy to the Lord"),
24 Bhabhu ni bhene bhahidili kupisya sadaka kulengana ni khela kyakijobhibhwa mu sheria jha Bwana, Jozi jha jhebha au makinda mabhele gha njebha.”
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."
25 Langayi, pajhele ni munu mu Yerusalemu ambajhe lihina lya muene akutibhweghe Simeoni. Munu ojho ajhele mwenye haki ni mcha Mungu. Muene akajha ilendela kwandabha jha mfariji ghwa Israeli, ni Roho mtakatifu ajhele panani pa muene.
And look, 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.
26 Jhamali kufunulibhwa kwa muene kupetela Roho mtakatifu kujha muene ngaafwilepi kabla jha kumbona kristu Bwana.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 Ligono limonga ahidili mugati mu hekalu, alongosibhu ni Roho mtakatifu. Ambapo bhazazi bhandetili muana, Yesu, kumbombela ghala ghaghalondekejhe jha sheria,
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 requirement of the Law,
28 Ndipo Simeoni ampokili mu mabhoko gha muene, ni kun'sifu k'yara ni kujobha,
then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 “Henu ruhusuayi n'tumishi ghwa jhobhi alotayi kwa amani Bwana, kulengana ni lilobhi lya jhobhi.
"Now you are releasing your servant, Lord, according to your word, in peace;
30 Kwa kujha mihu ghangu ghaubhwene wokovu bhwa jhobhi,
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 ambabho bhubhonekene kwa mihu gha bhanu bhoha.
which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 Muene ndo nuru kwandabha jha ufunuo kwa bhamataifa ni utukufu bhwa bhanu Israeli.”
a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel."
33 Dadi ni Mabhu ghwa bhana bhasyangesibhu kwa mambo ghaghalongeliki juu jha bhene.
And his father and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him,
34 Ndipo Simeoni akabhabariki ni kujobha Mariamu nyinamunu, “Pelekesiajhi kwa ndabha jha kujhagha ni kuokoka kwa bhanu bhingi mu Israeli na ndo ishara ambajho bhanu bhingi bhibeta kujhipinga.
and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, "Look, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 Kabhele ndo upanga bhwawibeta kuhoma nafsi jha jhobhi ghwe muene, ili kwamba mabhwasu gha mioyo jha bhingi jhidhihirikayi”.
Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
36 Nabii n'dala jhaakutibhweghe Ana ajhele mu hekalu. Muene ajhele binti ghwa Fanueli kuhoma kabila lya Asheri. Ajhele ni miaka ghimehele sana. Ni muene atamili ni n'gosi kwa miaka sana baada jha kubhonana,
There was one Anna, 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,
37 Na ndipo akajha mjane kwa miaka themanini na nne. Ni muene abhwayilepi kubhoka mu hekalu na akajha ijhendelela kumwabudu K'yara pamonga ni kufunga ni kus'oka, kiru ni musi.
and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 Na kwa wakati obhu ahidili pala pa bhajhele akajhanda kun'shuru k'yara. Alongili kumhusu muana kwa khila munu ambajhe alendeleleghe ukombozi bhwa Yerusalemu.
Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 Bho bhamalili khila khenu kya bhalondeghe kubhomba kulengana ni sheria jha Bwana, bhakakerebhuka Galilaya, kumjini kwa bhene, Nazareti.
When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
40 Muana akholili, na ajhe ni nghofu, akajhongeseka katika hekima, ni neema jha K'yara jhajhele panani pa muene.
The child was growing, and was becoming strong, being filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.
41 Bhazazi bha mwene khila mwaka bhalotili Yerusalemu kwandabha jha sikukuu jha Pasaka.
His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
42 Bhoajhe ni umri wa miaka kumi hi mibhele, bhakalota kabhele wakati muafaka kidesturi kwandabha jha sikukuu.
When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the feast,
43 Baada jha kubhakila magono ghoha kwandabha jha sikukuu bhajhandili kukerebhuka kunyumba. Lakini n'gosi Yesu abakili kunyuma m'ola mu Yerusalemu ni bhazazi bha muene bhamanyilepi e'le.
and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,
44 Bhadhanieghe ajhele mu likundi lya bhasafirieghe nalu, hivyo bhasafiri safari jha ligono. Ndipo bhakajhanda kundonda miongoni mwa bhalongo munu ni marafiki bha bhene.
but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Bhobhashindilu kun'kabha, bhakakerebhuka Yerusalemu ni kujhanda kundonda omu.
When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
46 Jhatokili kwamba baada jha magono madatu, bhakan'kabha mu hekalu, akajha atamili pagati pa bhalimu, akabhap'elekesya ni kubhakhota maswali.
It happened 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 Bhoha bhabhampelekisi bhasyangesibhu ni ufahamu bhwa muene ni majibu gha muene.
All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 Bho bhambwene, bhastajabili. Nyinamunu akan'jobhela, “Mwanabhangu, kwandabha jhakiki ukatubhombela naha? Pelekesiajhi, Dadi waku ni nene tukulondili kwa wasiwasi mbaha.”
When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Look, your father and I were anxiously looking for you."
49 Akabhajobhela, “kwandabha jhakiki mnilondeghe? Mwamanyilepi kujha lazima nijhelayi mu nyumba jha dadi jhangu?
He said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be doing the works of my Father?"
50 Lakini bhanjelibhu lepi kiki akimaanishieghe kwa malobhi aghu.
They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
51 Ndipo akalota pamonga nabhu mpaka kunyumba Nazareti na ajhele mtii lwa bhene. Nyinamunu ahifadhili mambo ghoha mu muoyo ghwa muene.
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.
52 Lakini Yesu ajhendelili kukhola katika hekima ni kimo, na ajhongesiki kuganikibhwa ni k'yara ni bhanu.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
