Luka 2
1 Lyahanu mwa ana mazuva, ni kweza za Ceaser Augusto na tuma sikwata ku laera kuti kuve ni cipalo ca ku vala vantu vonse mwi nkanda.
And it came to passe in those dayes, that there came a decree from Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed.
2 Ichi chivali chipalo cha hentanzi chiva pangahali kwa Quirinius havali muyendisi we nkanda ya Siriya.
(This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was gouernour of Syria.)
3 Lyahanu zimwi ni zumwi naya ku toropo yakwe ku ku ka ñolisa ku chipalo.
Therefore went all to be taxed, euery man to his owne Citie.
4 Josefa naye na yenda kuzwa kwa Galileya, kuzwa ku toropo ya Nazareta. kuya kwa Judeya, kwi totopo ya Davita i va ku sumpwa Betelehema, mukunti avali ku zwilila ku luzuvo lwa Davita.
And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid, )
5 Na enda ko kuka liñolisa hamwina ni Mariya iye yaava veeleze avali hindite.
To bee taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife, which was with childe.
6 Linu ni yeza inako, havava ku sina koko, niya ba inako ya yakwe ya kuletwa kwa mucice.
And so it was, that while they were there, the daies were accomplished that shee shoulde be deliuered,
7 Na leta mwana shwisu, we ntazi, cha mu vungila mu majira male, linu na mulazika muchililo che ñombe, mukuti kahena ku vena chivaka cha masikilo.
And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne.
8 Kuvena valisi vamitapi vavena mweco chilalo mu mumawa, vava ku lalila mitapi yavo masiku.
And there were in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke.
9 Iñeloi lya Simwine ni lyalivonahaza ku vali, ni kwava ni nkanya ya Simwine iva niya pazima kuva zimbuluka, imi vava tite tota.
And loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide.
10 Linu iñeloi nilya va cho kuti, musiye ku tiya, mukuti twa mi letela liinzwi i ilotu, lyete lilete ku sanga ku kando ku vantu vonse.
Then the Angel saide vnto them, Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to all the people,
11 Sunu muhazi ava letwa kwenu mwi toropo ya Davida! Nji Keresite Simwine.
That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 Ichi nji chisupo chete nichi hewe kwenu, mu mu wane muchiche yo zingeletwe muma jira u lazikite muchililo ce ñombe.
And this shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch.
13 Hahaho ni iñeloi ni lina ko kuvena vuungi bwe mpi izwa kwiwulu ivali ku lumbeka Ireza, ni icho,
And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praising God, and saying,
14 “Inkanya kwa Ireza mulena wa mawulu, mi kuve ni nkozo hansi mukati ka vantu va tavela.”
Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will.
15 Nikweza hakuti mañeloi ha a yenda kuzwa ku vali kuya kwi wulu, valisi ni vali ambila, tu yende kwa Betelehema, kuka vona ichi chintu chiva chitahali, icho chava twi zivisi Simwine.
And it came to passe whe the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, that the shepheards sayde one to another, Let vs goe then vnto Beth-leem, and see this thing that is come to passe which the Lord hath shewed vnto vs.
16 Niva hwelela kwateni ni vaka wana Mariya ni Josefa, ni ku vona lukeke lu lele muchililo.
So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.
17 Haba mana kumu vona, ni ve zibahaza chi vava wambilwe ku likana nozu muhwile.
And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe.
18 Vonse vava izuwi ni ba makala ku chiva wambitwe kuzwa ku balisi.
And all that heard it, wondred at ye things which were tolde them of the shepheards.
19 Kono Maliya na zwila havusu ku zeza zintu zonse za va zuwi, ku zi vika mu nkulo yakwe.
But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred them in her heart.
20 Balisi niva vola, ni va chenchelela ni ku lumba Ireza cha zintu zonse zi vava zuwi ni ku vona, uvu mu ku va wambilwa ku vali.
And the shepheardes returned glorifiyng and praising God, for all that they had heard and seene as it was spoken vnto them.
21 Hakuva kuma mani-mani e zuva li hinda iyanza ni otatwe, ha citwa mupato, na vikwa izina lwa Jesu, izina lyava hewa ku mañeloi naseni ku vumbwa mwi vumo.
And when the eight daies were accomplished, that they shoulde circumcise the childe, his name was then called Iesus, which was named of the Angell, before he was conceiued in the wombe.
22 Impalo ya mazuva ava sakahere ku kulijoloza kwavo ha i hita, kakuya cha mulao wa Mushe, Josefa ni Maliya ni va muleta kwi tempere mwa Jerusalema ku muleta havusu vwakwe kwa Simwine.
And when the daies of her purification after the Lawe of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lord,
23 Muku ñolelwe mu mulawo wa Simwine, “umwi ne umwi mwana shisu wi yalula lupepo mwa vikwe kumbali kwa Simwine”.
(As it is written in the Lawe of the Lord, Euery man childe that first openeth ye wombe, shalbe called holy to the Lord)
24 Linu chivaha chitavelo chavo kakuya mukuva telwa mu mulao wa Simwine, “inkuva zovele kamba imkwilimba inini zo vele”
And to giue an oblation, as it is commanded in the Lawe of the Lord, a paire of turtle doues, or two yong pigeons.
25 Muvone, kuvena mukwame mwa Jerusalema izina lakwe avali nji Simioni imi uzu mukwame ava shiyeme ni ku li neela. Ava lolelele muhazi wa Isiraere, imi luhuho lu jolola luvena hali.
And behold, there was a man in Hierusalem, whose name was Simeon: this man was iust, and feared God, and waited for the consolation of Israel, and the holy Ghost was vpon him.
26 Iva ungulwilwe kwali cha luhuho lujolola kuti kete na vone lufu naseni ku vona Keresite wa Simwine.
And it was declared to him from God by the holy Ghost, that he shoulde not see death, before he had seene that Anointed of the Lord.
27 Che nkelelo ya luhuho, Simiyoni neza mwi tempele. Bazazi hava leta lukeke Jesu, ku mu chita cha kuya ka sico cha mulao,
And he came by the motion of the spirit into the Temple, and when the parents brought in the babe Iesus, to do for him after the custome of the Lawe,
28 na mu hinda mu mavoko akwe ni ku lumbeka Ireza mi na cho,
Then hee tooke him in his armes, and praised God, and sayd,
29 Hanu u siye muhikana ko a yende mu nkozo, Simwine, chakuya cha liinzwi lyako.
Lord, nowe lettest thou thy seruaunt depart in peace, according to thy woorde,
30 Mukuti menso angu ava voni impuluso yako,
For mine eyes haue seene thy saluation,
31 yo va bakanyi mwi muvusu vwa vantu vonse:
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,
32 Mumuni we nsinulo kuva sa zumini ni nkanya ku vantu vako Isiraere.”
A light to be reueiled to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Vesi wa muhwile ni vanyina vava makele ka zintu ziva li ku wambiwa ku amana naye.
And Ioseph and his mother marueiled at those things, which were spoken touching him.
34 Simiyoni cha va fuyola na cho kwa Mariya inyina wakwe, “Vone, uzu muhwile ketelwe kuwa ni ku vuka kwa vantu vangi mwa Isiraere imi cha chisupo chi kanitwe-
And Simeon blessed them, and saide vnto Mary his mother, Beholde, this childe is appointed for the fall and rising againe of many in Israel, and for a signe which shalbe spoken against,
35 mi ilumo mu li hweze mu luhuho lwako-mukuti muzezelo we nkulo zingi ku letwe he nkanza.
(Yea and a sworde shall pearce through thy soule) that the thoughts of many heartes may be opened.
36 Muporofita wa mwanakazi ava ku sumpwa Anna kwavena. Avali mwana wa Fanuwelu yozwa ku mushovo wa Asha. Ava supele luli.
And there was a Prophetesse, one Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser, which was of a great age, after she had liued with an husband seuen yeeres from her virginitie:
37 Ava hali ni mwihyabwe ka zilimo zi hinda iyanza ni zovele. imi avali mufwilwa cha zilimo zina makumi a hinda iyaza ni makumi o tatwe ni zone. Kana ava ku siya itempere kono avali ku tendela cha kulinyima zilyo ni ntapelo, masiku ni kamwi.
And she was widowe about foure score and foure yeeres, and went not out of the Temple, but serued God with fastings and prayers, night and day.
38 Cho wo muzuzu, cheza kuvali ni kutanga kuha vuitumero kwa Ireza mi na wamba ka za muhwile ku zumwi ni zumwi yava lindile ku hazwa kwa Jerusalema.
She then coming at the same instant vpon them, confessed likewise the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Hierusalem.
39 Linu hava mana zonse zivavali lukela ku chita ka kuya ka mulao wa Simwine, niva vola kwa Galileya, kwi toropo yavo ya Nazareta.
And when they had performed all thinges according to the lawe of the Lord, they returned into Galile to their owne citie Nazareth.
40 Muhwile na kula ni kuva yo kolete, na ekeza ku vutali, ni chishemo cha Ireza chivena hakwe.
And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in Spirit, and was filled with wisedome, and the grace of God was with him.
41 Vazazi vakwe vava kuyendanga chilimo ni chilimo kwa Jerusalema ku mukiti we mpaseka.
Nowe his parents went to Hierusalem euery yeere, at the feast of the Passeouer.
42 Ha va ni zilimo zine ikumi ni zovele, hape niva yenda kuya ke nako ya chizo ku mukiti.
And when hee was twelue yeere olde, and they were come vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast,
43 Have kala mazuva avalwa ezwile a mukiti, niva tanga ku voola ku muzi. Imi mushisu nashala mumasule mwa Jerusalema mi vazazi vakwe kena vave zivi.
And had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother,
44 Chiva zeza kuti wina mukati ka chikwata ca vamwi vava vali kuyenda navo, imi niva yenda lwendo lwe zuva lyonke. Linu ni va tanga ku mu lola mukati ka vakwavo ni bamwakwe.
But they supposing, that he had bene in the company, went a dayes iourney, and sought him among their kinsfolke, and acquaintance.
45 Hava mu vula, niva vola kwa Jerusalema ni ku tanga kumu lola kwateni.
And when they found him not, they turned backe to Hierusalem, and sought him.
46 Nikwahi ta mazuva otatwe, chi va muwana mwi tempere, ne kele mukati ka muruti, nava tekete ni kuva vuza impuzo.
And it came to passe three dayes after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the mids of the doctours, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
47 Vonse vava zuwi ku amana naye ni va makala ha ku zuwisisa kwakwe ni nkalabo za kwe.
And all that heard him, were astonied at his vnderstanding and answeres.
48 Havu muvona, ni va makala. Vanyina ni vawamba kwali, “Mwanangu, cinzi hawatu cita vuti? Teke, veso neme tuva ku ku saka saka.”
So when they sawe him, they were amased, and his mother said vnto him, Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee with very heauie hearts.
49 Nati kuvali, “Cinzi hamu kwete kuni saka? kana muvezivi kuti ni lukela kuva munzuvo ivandanda?”
Then said he vnto them, Howe is it that ye sought me? knewe ye not that I must goe about my Fathers busines?
50 Kono kena vava zuwisisi cha va talusi chawo manzwi.
But they vnderstoode not the word that he spake to them.
51 Imi chayenda kuvola kumunzi navo kwa Nazareta ni kuli voza hansi ku vali. Banyina ni va ungula izi zintu zonse munkulo yavo.
Then hee went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Linu Jesu na zwila havusu ku kula cha vutali ni ku wera ku chiyemo, ni wera ku chishemo ni Ireza ni vantu.
And Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.
