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.
In those days Augustus Caesar issued an edict for a census of the whole inhabited world.
2 Ichi chivali chipalo cha hentanzi chiva pangahali kwa Quirinius havali muyendisi we nkanda ya Siriya.
This was the first census, When Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Lyahanu zimwi ni zumwi naya ku toropo yakwe ku ku ka ñolisa ku chipalo.
And every one went to be registered, each to the town to which he belonged.
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 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 Na enda ko kuka liñolisa hamwina ni Mariya iye yaava veeleze avali hindite.
He went to be registered along with Mary, who was espoused to him, and was pregnant.
6 Linu ni yeza inako, havava ku sina koko, niya ba inako ya yakwe ya kuletwa kwa mucice.
But while they were there the days were fulfilled for her delivery.
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 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 Kuvena valisi vamitapi vavena mweco chilalo mu mumawa, vava ku lalila mitapi yavo masiku.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
9 Iñeloi lya Simwine ni lyalivonahaza ku vali, ni kwava ni nkanya ya Simwine iva niya pazima kuva zimbuluka, imi vava tite tota.
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 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.
"Have no fear, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.
11 Sunu muhazi ava letwa kwenu mwi toropo ya Davida! Nji Keresite Simwine.
"For unto you born this day in there is born in David’s town a Saviour, who is the Anointed Lord.
12 Ichi nji chisupo chete nichi hewe kwenu, mu mu wane muchiche yo zingeletwe muma jira u lazikite muchililo ce ñombe.
"And this is a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes lying in a manger."
13 Hahaho ni iñeloi ni lina ko kuvena vuungi bwe mpi izwa kwiwulu ivali ku lumbeka Ireza, ni icho,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly army praising God and saying,
14 “Inkanya kwa Ireza mulena wa mawulu, mi kuve ni nkozo hansi mukati ka vantu va tavela.”
"Glory to God in the highest, And in earth peace among men who please him"
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.
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 Niva hwelela kwateni ni vaka wana Mariya ni Josefa, ni ku vona lukeke lu lele muchililo.
so they made haste, and came and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
17 Haba mana kumu vona, ni ve zibahaza chi vava wambilwe ku likana nozu muhwile.
When they had seen, they made known about the words which had been spoken to them concerning the child.
18 Vonse vava izuwi ni ba makala ku chiva wambitwe kuzwa ku balisi.
And all who heard it were astonished at the things which were told to them by the shepherds.
19 Kono Maliya na zwila havusu ku zeza zintu zonse za va zuwi, ku zi vika mu nkulo yakwe.
But Mary treasured up all those words, Often pondering on on 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 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 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.
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 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 days for purification according to the law of Moses had passed, they took him up to Jerusalem, 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 law of Moses, Every firstborn male shall be 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 they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord A pair of turtle-doves or two young 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.
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 Iva ungulwilwe kwali cha luhuho lujolola kuti kete na vone lufu naseni ku vona Keresite wa Simwine.
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 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 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 na mu hinda mu mavoko akwe ni ku lumbeka Ireza mi na cho,
he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
29 Hanu u siye muhikana ko a yende mu nkozo, Simwine, chakuya cha liinzwi lyako.
"Now lettest thou thy slave depart, O Master; according to thy word in peace,
30 Mukuti menso angu ava voni impuluso yako,
"Because my eyes had seen the salvation,
31 yo va bakanyi mwi muvusu vwa vantu vonse:
"Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 Mumuni we nsinulo kuva sa zumini ni nkanya ku vantu vako Isiraere.”
"A light for the unveiling of 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 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 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-
"Behold this child is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 mi ilumo mu li hweze mu luhuho lwako-mukuti muzezelo we nkulo zingi ku letwe he nkanza.
Yea, and a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, that the thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."
36 Muporofita wa mwanakazi ava ku sumpwa Anna kwavena. Avali mwana wa Fanuwelu yozwa ku mushovo wa Asha. Ava supele luli.
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 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 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 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 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 Linu hava mana zonse zivavali lukela ku chita ka kuya ka mulao wa Simwine, niva vola kwa Galileya, kwi toropo yavo ya Nazareta.
As soon as all that the law required had been done, they returned to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.
40 Muhwile na kula ni kuva yo kolete, na ekeza ku vutali, ni chishemo cha Ireza chivena hakwe.
And the child grew and became strong, becoming full of wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Vazazi vakwe vava kuyendanga chilimo ni chilimo kwa Jerusalema ku mukiti we mpaseka.
Now his parents were accustomed to go up to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
42 Ha va ni zilimo zine ikumi ni zovele, hape niva yenda kuya ke nako ya chizo ku mukiti.
And when he was twelve years old they went up, as was customary, at the time 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.
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 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 supposed that he was in the company, and went a days journey. Then they hunted for him among his kinsfolk and acquaintance;
45 Hava mu vula, niva vola kwa Jerusalema ni ku tanga kumu lola kwateni.
and when they did not find him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for him.
46 Nikwahi ta mazuva otatwe, chi va muwana mwi tempere, ne kele mukati ka muruti, nava tekete ni kuva vuza impuzo.
On the third day they found him sitting in the Temple, among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking questions.
47 Vonse vava zuwi ku amana naye ni va makala ha ku zuwisisa kwakwe ni nkalabo za kwe.
All that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 Havu muvona, ni va makala. Vanyina ni vawamba kwali, “Mwanangu, cinzi hawatu cita vuti? Teke, veso neme tuva ku ku saka saka.”
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 Nati kuvali, “Cinzi hamu kwete kuni saka? kana muvezivi kuti ni lukela kuva munzuvo ivandanda?”
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 Kono kena vava zuwisisi cha va talusi chawo manzwi.
But they did not understand the words that he spoke 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 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 Linu Jesu na zwila havusu ku kula cha vutali ni ku wera ku chiyemo, ni wera ku chishemo ni Ireza ni vantu.
And Jesus was ever advancing in wisdom and in status and in favor with God and man.
