Luka 2
1 Gene mobhago, a Kaishali bhashemwaga a Augushito, bhakulungwa bhakulu bha upalume gwa Shiloma bhashinkulajiya bhalikwaapinganga bhandunji bhowe bhalinginji muupalume gwabho bhakajandikwanje.
And it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, so that the whole world would be enrolled.
2 Kwene kujandikwako pukwaaliji kutandubha kwene kuumila a Kileniashi pubhaaliji bhakulungwa bha shilambo sha ku Shilia.
This was the first enrollment; it was made by the ruler of Syria, Quirinius.
3 Bhai bhowe bhapinjikwenje gubhapitengenenje kuujandikwa kila mundu kushilambo shakwe shabhelekwe.
And all went to be declared, each one to his own city.
4 A Yoshepu nabhalabho ni gubhajabhwile ku Nashaleti, shilambo sha ku Galilaya, pabha pubhaaliji bha ulongo bha shipinga shimo na bhakulungwa a Daudi, gubhapite ku Bheteleemu shilambo sha ku Yudea kubhabhelekwe bhakulungwa a Daudi.
Then Joseph also ascended from Galilee, from 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 Gubhapite kuujandikwa na bha ntemela gwabho a Malia bhali na shitumbo.
in order to be declared, with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
6 Bhalinginji ku Bheteleemu, lyubha lyabho lya kwiigopola likuishilaga,
Then it happened that, while they were there, the days were completed, so that she would give birth.
7 gubhankwete mwana lielo lyabho, gubhanng'washiye nngubho shinambombe, gubhanngoneshe pa lila ng'ombe, pabha bhakapatilenjeje pa gona nnyumba ja bhajeninji.
And she brought forth her firstborn son. And she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them at the inn.
8 Tome na ku Bheteleemu bhashinkupagwanga bhashunga bhatamanganaga mukonde, shilo bhalinginji muulinda gwa ngondolo yabhonji.
And there were shepherds in the same region, being vigilant and keeping watch in the night over their flock.
9 Malaika jwa a Nnungu gwabhakoposhelenje na Ukonjelo gwa Bhakulungwa a Nnungu ukwamulishilangaga powe. Gubhatengukenje.
And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near them, and the brightness of God shone around them, and they were struck with a great fear.
10 Ikabheje malaika gwabhalugulilenje, “Nnatengukanje! Pabha njikwiya kummalanjilanga ngani ja mmbone, jakwaanonyelanga bhandu bhowe.
And the Angel said to them: “Do not be afraid. For, behold, I proclaim to you a great joy, which will be for all the people.
11 Lelo nshilambo sha a Daudi ashibhelekwa nkutapula jwenunji, jwenejo ni Kilishitu ali Nkulungwa.
For today a Savior has been born for you in the city of David: he is Christ the Lord.
12 Na sheshino shishibhe shilangulo shenunji. Shimunng'imananje nambombe awashiywe nngubho ya shinambombe, agonekwe pa lila ng'ombe.”
And this will be a sign for you: you will find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
13 Shangupe likundi lyalikulungwa lya ashimalaika bhananji bha kunnungu bhakwiilundangaga pamo naka malaika jula, bhalikwainiyanga a Nnungu bhalinkutinji.
And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the celestial army, praising God and saying,
14 “Bhakuywe a Nnungu kunani kunnunungu, Na pa shilambolyo pabhe na ulele, ku bhandu bhakwaanonyelanga.”
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.”
15 Ashimalaika bhala, bhakajabhulanganeje kubhuja kunnungu, bhashunga gubhabhalanjilenenje. “Twendangananje ku Bheteleemu tukalibhone lyene likoposhele libhatubhalanjile Bhakulungwa.”
And it happened that, when the Angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us cross over to Bethlehem and see this word, which has happened, which the Lord has revealed to us.”
16 Bhai, gubhapitengenenje lubhilo, gubhaimenenje a Malia na a Yoshepu naka nambombe jula agonekwe pa lila ng'ombe.
And they went quickly. And they found Mary and Joseph; and the infant was lying in a manger.
17 Bhashunga bhakammonanjeje mwana jula gubhaalungushiyenje bhandu bhowe ngani jakwe jibhapilikenenje jila.
Then, upon seeing this, they understood the word that had been spoken to them about this boy.
18 Bhowe bhapilikenenje jene ngani jibhalugulilwangaga na bhashungajo bhala gubhakanganigwenje.
And all who heard it were amazed by this, and by those things which were told to them by the shepherds.
19 Ikabheje a Malia gubhagabhishile gowe muntima akuno bhaliganishiya.
But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
20 Bhashunga bhala gubhabhujengenenje, akuno bhalikwakuyanga na kwaainiya a Nnungu, kwa gowe gubhapilikenenje na kugabhona, gashinkubha malinga shibhalugulilwenje.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told to them.
21 Gakamalileje mobha nane mwana gwatagwile unyago, gubhanshemilenje lina lyakwe Yeshu, lina lyapegwilwe na malaika jwa a Nnungu, akwabhe bhakanabhe jukuta shitumbo.
And after eight days were ended, so that the boy would be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, just as he was called by the Angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Lukapiteje luuko, malinga Shalia ja a Musha shijilajila, a Yoshepu na akongobhabho a Malia gubhampelekenje mwana ku Yelushalemu kukunkamuya ku Bhakulungwa,
And after the days of her purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, in order to present him to the Lord,
23 malinga Shalia ja Bhakulungwa shijishite, “Kila mwana jwa lielo jwannume shaabhe jwa ukonjelo jwa Bhakulungwa.”
just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “For every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,”
24 Nneila peila gubhashoshiyenje mbepei ya nnjubha ibhili eu mabhunda gabhili ga ngunda, malinga Shalia ja Bhakulungwa shijapingaga.
and in order to offer a sacrifice, according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25 Gene mobhago ku Yelushalemu bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo, pubhaliji bhandu bha aki na bhatendaga kwaatindibhalila a Nnungu, pubhashemwaga a Shimoni. Bhenebho bhatendaga lolela gwa lilaka ntapulo gwa bha Ishilaeli. Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo paaliji pamo na bhenebho alikwaataga ntima.
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and God-fearing, awaiting the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was with him.
26 Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo ashinkwaibhulila kuti bhakawa bhakanabhe kummona Kilishitu jwa Bhakulungwa.
And he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit: that he would not see his own death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
27 Bhai bhalilongoywa na Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, a Shimoni gubhapite ku Liekalu. A Yoshepu na akongobhabho, gubhampelekenje mwana Yeshu Nniekalu kukuntendela malinga nkubho gwa Shalia ja a Musha shijapingaga.
And he went with the Spirit to the temple. And when the child Jesus was brought in by his parents, in order to act on his behalf according to the custom of the law,
28 A Shimoni gubhamposhele mwana Yeshu jula mmakono gabho, akuno bhalikwakuya a Nnungu, bhalinkuti.
he also took him up, into his arms, and he blessed God and said:
29 “Mmakulungwa nnaino malagano genu gamalile, Mpingaga munneshe ntumishi jwenu akapumulile kwa ulele malinga shimwalajile.
“Now you may dismiss your servant in peace, O Lord, according to your word.
30 Pabha meyo gangu gaubhweni ntapulo gwenu,
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 gummishile tayali ku bhandu bha ilambo yowe,
which you have prepared before the face of all peoples:
32 sheneshi ni shilangaya shipinga kwaamulishilanga bhandu bhangali kubha Bhayaudi, na Ukonjelo ku bhandu bhenu bha Ishilaeli.”
the light of revelation to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Ainamundu na akwabhe Yeshu gubhakanganigwenje kwa malobhe gabheleketwe kwa ligongo lika mwana.
And his father and mother were wondering over these things, which were spoken about him.
34 A Shimoni gubhaapelenje mboka, gubhaalugulile a Malia, akwabhe Yeshu, “Aju mwanaju ashibhelekwa kwa ligongo lya kutuluywa na kukuywa kwa bhandu bhabhagwinji nshilambo sha Ishilaeli. Na jweneju shaabhe shilapo shipinga kanwa na bhandu.
And Simeon blessed them, and he said to his mother Mary: “Behold, this one has been set for the ruin and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and as a sign which will be contradicted.
35 Kwa nneyo ng'aniyo ya bhandu bhabhagwinji ipinga bhoneka gwangali nng'iyo! Na mmwe mmayene ntima gwenu upinga kumpoteka mbuti nng'omilwe na lipanga.”
And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
36 Bhashinkupagwa bhakongwe bhamo bhakongopa, a nkulondola bha a Nnungu lina lyabho a Ana abhiti a Panueli bha shipinga sha a Asheli. Bhashinkulombwa nitama nshilombani yaka shabha ambunjebhabho ni gubhawile.
And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years, and she had lived with her husband for seven years from her virginity.
37 Gubhatemi nshitenga yaka makumi nane na nsheshe. Mobha gowego mubhatamaga Nniekalu bhalitabha nkwaajuga a Nnungu shilo na mui.
And then she was a widow, even to her eighty-fourth year. And without departing from the temple, she was a servant to fasting and prayer, night and day.
38 Popo pego, gubhaikopweye mmujo, gubhatendile eja kwa a Nnungu na gubhalungwiye ngani jika jwene mwanajo kubhandu bhowe bhatemingenenje nkulindilila kutapulwa kwa Yelushalemu.
And entering at the same hour, she confessed to the Lord. And she spoke about him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Israel.
39 Ainamundu na anyinamundu bhakatendanjeje yowe yalajilwe na Shalia ja Bhakulungwa, gubhabhujengene kunngwabhonji ku Nashaleti nshilambo sha ku Galilaya.
And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth.
40 Mwana gwakulile, gwapundile kukola mashili, gwagumbele lunda na nema ja a Nnungu pujaaliji naka jwenejo.
Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him.
41 Ainamundu na anyinamundu malinga shigwaliji nkubho gwabhonji gwa kwenda ku Yelushalemu kila shaka mobha ga shikukuu ja Shiyaudi jishemwa Pashaka.
And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the time of the solemnity of Passover.
42 Yeshu akaishileje yaka likumi limo na ibhili malinga shigwaliji nkubho gwabhonji bhowe gubhajombokenje kwenda kushikukuu.
And when he had become twelve years old, they ascended to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast day.
43 Shikapiteje shikukuu, gubhatandubhenje mwanja gwa bhuja kunngwabhonji, ikabheje Yeshu gwalepeshe ku Yelushalemu, gwangali ainagwe na akwabhe kumumanyanga.
And having completed the days, when they returned, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents did not realize this.
44 Pubhaganishiyangaga kuti mwali munkumbi gwa bhandu, gubhapitengenenje mwanja gwa totolo, kungai gubhatandubhenje kunnoleya kubhaulongo na kwa ashaambwiga ajabhonji.
But, supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey, seeking him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Pabha bhangammonanga, gubhabhujengenenje ku Yelushalemu pita kunnoleya.
And not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Lyubha lya tatu, gubhanng'imenenje ku Liekalu ali atemi munkumbi gwa bhaajiganya bha Shalia alikwaapilikanishiyanga akuno alikwaabhuyanga.
And it happened that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, listening to them and questioning them.
47 Bhowe bhapilikenenje malobhe gakwe, bhashinkulapanga kwa ijangulo yakwe na lunda lwakwe.
But all who listened to him were astonished over his prudence and his responses.
48 Ainagwe na akwabhe bhashinkukanganigwanga bhakammonanjeje. Akwabhe a Malia gubhammushiye, “Gwe mwanangu, kwa nndi ushikututenda nnei? Nne na ainago tushikuuloleya kwa lipamba.”
And upon seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: “Son, why have you acted this way toward us? Behold, your father and I were seeking you in sorrow.”
49 Jwalakwe gwabhajangwilenje, “Kwa nndi mmanganya kunoleyanga? Nkakumumanyanga kuti nne ngunapinjikwa nnyumba ja Atati?”
And he said to them: “How is it that you were seeking me? For did you not know that it is necessary for me to be in these things which are of my Father?”
50 Ikabheje bhankwetenje bhangagamanyanga malombolelo ga malobhe gabhaalugulilenje gala.
And they did not understand the word that he spoke to them.
51 Bhai gubhalongenenajonji kubhuja ku Nashaleti, gwapundile kwaakundanga. Akwabhe gubhagabhishile muntima gene gowego.
And he descended with them and went to Nazareth. And he was subordinate to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
52 Na jwalakwe Yeshu gwapundile kukula kwa shanga na lunda, gwapundile kupingwa na a Nnungu na bhandunji.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and in age, and in grace, with God and men.
