Oku kwakali kubalwa kutanzi kwakachitwa chiindi kkwiniliyasi nakali mwendelezyi wa Siliya.
3 Bonke basebesiya ukuze bayebhalwa, ngulowo lalowo emzini wakibo.
Aboobo muntu woonse wakiinka kudolopo lyakwe kuti akalembesye kubalwa
4 LoJosefa laye wenyuka esuka eGalili, emzini iNazaretha, waya eJudiya, emzini kaDavida, othiwa yiBhethelehema, ngoba wayengowendlu lowosendo lukaDavida,

5 ukuyabhalwa kanye loMariya umkakhe ayemganile, owayezithwele.
Wakayinka ooko kuti akalembesye aantomwe a Meli, ooyo ngwakatuminide alumwi wakali aatambu.
6 Kwasekusithi belapho, zaseziphelela insuku zokubeletha kwakhe.
Lino kwakasika kuti biyo nibakachiliko oko, ichindi chakasika chakwe kuti atumbuke mwana wakwe.
7 Wasebeletha indodana yakhe eyingqabutho, wayigoqela ngamalembu, wayilalisa emkolweni, ngoba kwakungelandawo yabo endlini yezihambi.
Wakatumbuka mwana mulombe, mwana mutanzi wakwe, alimwi wakamuputila mumalembo akasala malamfu alimwi wamulazika muchata, nkaambo tekwakalikwe busena bulabo munga'nda yabenzu.
8 Njalo kwakukhona kulelolizwe abelusi ababehlala egangeni futhi belinde umhlambi wabo ebusuku.
Kwakaliwo bembeli mubusena obo bakalikukkala mumyuunda, kabalo kulinda butanga bwabo mansiku.
9 Njalo khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yema eduze kwabo, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yakhanya ibazingelezele; njalo besaba ngokwesaba okukhulu.
Mungelo wamulami wakaboneka kuli mbabo, alimwi abulemu bwaMwami bwaka yubununwa alimbababo, alimwi bakazula akuyowa kupati.
10 Ingilosi yasisithi kubo: Lingesabi; ngoba khangelani, ngitshumayela indaba ezinhle kini ezentokozo enkulu, ezakuba kubantu bonke;
Mpawo mungelo wakamba wakati, “Mutayowinkambo ndamwetela makani mabotu ayo atazo yete kukondwa kupati kubantu boonse.
11 ngoba lizalelwe lamuhla uMsindisi, onguKristu iNkosi, emzini kaDavida.

12 Njalo lokhu kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kini: Lizathola usane lugoqelwe ngamalembu, lulele emkolweni.
Echi nchichitondezyo chitakapegwe kuli ndinywe. Mulojana mwana kaputilidwe mulembo likasalaalimwi kalede luchaata.”
13 Njalo kwahle kwaba khona kanye lengilosi ixuku lebutho lasezulwini, lidumisa uNkulunkulu, lisithi:
Mpawo mpawo kwakaliwo antomwe abangelo biingi loko bazwa kujulu, kulumbaizya Leza alimwi kabati,
14 Udumo kalube kuNkulunkulu kweliphezulu, lokuthula emhlabeni; isifiso esihle ebantwini.
“Bulemu kuli Leza usumpukide, alimwi ngakube luumuno munyika akati kabantu amwi amoyo ngwaboteledwe.” Amwi malembo achiindi achi Greeki alakupeleta kusiyenesiyene oko kubona kwaamba kwamabala abili akonzya kwaamba zilikumamanino amabala mache a muchala 14, yabili nkili njiyandisigwa. Kubona kwaamba nkoku.” chiyandisisyo chibotu kubantu kana akati kabantu alumwi awoyo we (LEZA) ngwabo teledwe
15 Kwasekusithi, ingilosi sezisukile kubo zisiya ezulwini, abantu, abangabelusi, bakhulumisana besithi: Ake siye eBhethelehema, sibone leyonto eyenzakeleyo, iNkosi esazise yona.
Kwakaba kuti awo bangelo kabali bayinka kuzwa alimbabo kuya kujulu, bembeli bakati kuli umwi awumwi, “ngatwiinke lino ku Betelehema alimwi tukabone echi chintu chachitika, echo Mwami nchatuyubnwida.
16 Basebesiza ngokuphangisa, bathola oMariya loJosefa, losane lulele emkolweni.
Bakafwambanina nkuko alumwi bakujana Malia, Josefa, amwana oyo wakalede muchata
17 Sebebonile basebesazisa indawo ezizingelezeleyo ngelizwi ababelitshelwe mayelana lalo umntwana omncane.
Kuzwawo abo nibakabamubona, bakazibisya ezyo zimbakali babuzigwa bo atala amwana.
18 Labo bonke abakuzwayo bamangala ngezinto ezazikhulunywe ngabelusi kubo.
Boonse abo bakamvwa bakagamba kuli zezyo zyakambwa abembeli.
19 Kodwa uMariya walondoloza wonke la amazwi, enakana ngawo enhliziyweni yakhe.
Pesi Maliya wakali kuyeya a makani ngakali wamvwa, wakalondolawo mumoyo wakwe.
20 Basebebuyela abelusi, bemdumisa bembonga uNkulunkulu ngazo zonke izinto ababezizwile lababezibonile, njengalokho okwakukhulunywe kubo.
Bembeli bakabweda kabalumbaizya akutembawula Leza kuli zyoonse ezyo zibakamvwa akubona, mbuli mbubaka mbilwa.
21 Kwathi seziphelile insuku eziyisificaminwembili zokuthi umntwana omncane asokwe, ibizo lakhe laselithiwa nguJesu, elalibizwe yingilosi engakomulwa esiswini.
Elyo kwakiinda mazuba masanu aatatu, elyo nakabalulwa, wakuzikwa wategwa Jsu, izina ndyakapedwe amungelo musule katana mintwa mwida
22 Kwathi seziphelele insuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe ngokomlayo kaMozisi, bamletha eJerusalema, ukuze bammise phambi kweNkosi
Elyo ilangililwa mweelwe yamazuba akulisalazya kwabo nakiinda, mbuli mumulawo waMozesi, bo bakamweta kuchikombelo kuJelusalema kulomupeda kumwaami.
23 (njengokulotshiweyo emlayweni weNkosi ukuthi konke okwesilisa okuvula isibeletho kuzathiwa kungcwele eNkosini)
Mbuli mbukulembedwe mumulawu wamwami, “woonse mwana mulombe ujula ida ulo bikkwa kumbali kuMwami.”
24 lokuthi banikele umhlatshelo njengokutshiwo emlayweni weNkosi, amajuba amabili kumbe amaphuphu amabili enkwilimba.
Abobo bakapa chipaizyo mbuli ezyo zyakambidwe mumulawu wamwana, “inziba zibili nabana bankuilimba.
25 Njalo khangela, kwakukhona eJerusalema umuntu, obizo lakhe linguSimeyoni, njalo lumuntu wayelungile ekhuthele ekukhonzeni, elindele induduzo kaIsrayeli, loMoya oNgcwele wayephezu kwakhe.
Amubone kwakali mwalumi muJelusalema ula zina litegwa Simiyoni, alumwi oyo mwalumi wakali luleme a kulipeda. Wakali kalangilila kumbilizigwa kwabaIzilayeli, alubo muuya usalala wakala tala anguwe.
26 Futhi kwakubonakalisiwe kuye nguMoya oyiNgcwele, ukuthi kayikubona ukufa engakamboni uKristu weNkosi.
Zyakali zyayubununwa kuli nguwe amuya usalala kutitakozobona lufu katanakubona uNanikidwewaMwami.
27 Wasengena ethempelini ngoMoya; kwathi abazali bemletha umntwana omncane uJesu, ukuze benze ngaye ngokomkhuba womlayo,
Kazulwidwa aMuuya, Simiyoni waka sika muchikombelo. Elyo bazyali bakanjizya mukati mwana Jeso, kulo muchitila mbuli chiyanza chabo chamulawo.
28 yena wasemthatha wamphatha engalweni zakhe, wabonga uNkulunkulu, wathi:
Wakamubweza mumaboko aakwe alimwi walumbaizya Leza, alimwi wakati,
29 Nkosi, khathesi iyekele inceku yakho ihambe ngokuthula, njengokwelizwi lakho;
“Lino leka mulandawako ayiinde mulumuno, mwami, mbuli ijwi lyako.
30 ngoba amehlo ami alubonile usindiso lwakho
Nkaambo menso angu abona lufutuko lwako,
31 olulungisileyo phambi kobuso babantu bonke;
olo mbwakambilwa abuliwo bwabantu boonse.
32 ukukhanya kokwembulela abezizwe, lenkazimulo yesizwe sakho uIsrayeli.
“Mumuni wachiyubunuzyo kuli bamasi alimwi bulemu kubantu bako izilayeli.”
33 UJosefa lonina basebemangala ngezinto ezatshiwo ngaye.
Wisi abanyina, bakagambilwa aatala azintu zyakalikwaambulwa aatala amwana wabo.
34 USimeyoni wasebabusisa, wathi kuMariya unina: Khangela, lo umiselwe ukuwa lokuvuka kwabanengi kuIsrayeli, lokuba yisibonakaliso esizaphikiswa;
Simiyoni wakabalongezya mpawo wakati kuli banyina, “Amulange mwana ooyu ulisalidwe kuti kube kuwa akusumpulwa kwabamwi bantu biingi muli Izirayeli achitondeezyo chikakidwe -
35 futhi lawe, inkemba izadabula owakho umphefumulo; ukuze imicabango yenhliziyo ezinengi yembulwe.
alimwi ipanga liyoyasa muuya wako - kuchitila kuti myoyo myiingi ikayubununwe.”
36 Njalo kwakukhona uAna umprofethikazi, indodakazi kaFanuweli, owesizwe sikaAsheri; wayesekhulile kakhulu, ebehlale lendoda iminyaka eyisikhombisa kusukela ebuntombini bakhe,
Musinsimi mwanakazi uutegwa Ana wakaliwo. Wakali mwana musimbi waFanuwelo kuzwa kumukowa wa Asha. Wakali wapona amulumi wakwe minyaka ili musanu ayibili kuzwa kubusimbi bwakwe.
37 njalo wayengumfelokazi owayengaba leminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lane, engasuki ethempelini, ekhonza ngokuzila ukudla langemikhuleko ebusuku lemini.
Alimwi wakali mukamufu kwamwinyaka ili makumi musanu aatatu atune. Takwe nakazwide muchikombelo pesi wakali kubelekela kulyimya a kukomba mansiku, asikati.
38 Laye efika ngalelohola wadumisa uNkulunkulu, wakhuluma ngaye kubo bonke ababelindele inkululeko eJerusalema.
Kuli ndilelyo wola wakaswena afwifwi kuli mbabo almwi wakatalika kupa kulumba kuli Leza, alimwi wakambula alubo aatala amwana kubantu boonse abo bakali kulindila kufutulwa kwaJelusalema.
39 Kwathi sebeqedile konke okungokomlayo weNkosi, babuyela eGalili, emzini wakibo iNazaretha.
Eelyo aabo boonse nibakamanisya nzibakeelede kuchitambuli mulawo wamwami, bakabweeda ku Galilii, kudolopo lyabo lya Nazaleta.
40 Lomntwana omncane wakhula, waqina emoyeni, wagcwala inhlakanipho; lomusa kaNkulunkulu wawuphezu kwakhe.
Mwana wakakomena alimwi wakasima, kuyungizya mubusongo, alimwi luzyalo lwaleza lwakali aanguwe
41 Njalo abazali bakhe babesiya eJerusalema iminyaka yonke ngomkhosi wephasika.
Bazyali bakwe bakali kwiinka munyaka umwi awumwi ku Jelusalema kupobwe lya kwindilila.
42 Kwathi eseleminyaka elitshumi lambili, sebenyukele eJerusalema njengomkhuba womkhosi,
Awo nakaba aminyaka kkumi ayibili, bakabweda lubo mbuli chiindi chachiyanza chabo kupobwe.
43 njalo sebeziqedile insuku, ekubuyeleni kwabo, umntwana uJesu wasala eJerusalema; njalo uJosefa lonina bengazi;
Nibakakkala mazuba azulide aa pobwe, bakabweda kumunzi. Pesi mulombe Jeso wakasyala ku Jelusalema alimwi bazyali bakwe tebakazipe.
44 kodwa becabanga ukuthi wayesexukwini endleleni, bahamba uhambo losuku, bamdinga phakathi kwezinini labazana labo;
Bakayelela kuti wakali akabunga ako nkibakayobwenda aako, mpawo bo bakenda musinzo wazuba limwi. Mpawo bakasanguna kumulangula akati kanzubo zyabo abeenzinyina.
45 kodwa bengamtholi, babuyela eJerusalema, bemdinga.
Eelyo nibakamubula, bakabweda ku Jelusalema alimwi bakatalika kumuyandula nkuko.
46 Kwasekusithi emva kwensuku ezintathu, bamthola ethempelini, ehlezi phakathi kwabafundisi, njalo ebalalela, futhi ebabuza.
Zyakachitika kuti musule lyamazuba aatatu bakasanguna kumuyandula mung'anda ya Leza, kakkede akati kabayisyi, kalokubaswilizya akubabuzya mibuzyo.
47 Njalo bonke ababemuzwa bamangala kakhulu ngolwazi lempendulo zakhe.
Boonse bakamumvwa bakagamba kukumvwisisisya kwakwe akunsandulo zyakwe
48 Kwathi bembona bamangala; lonina wathi kuye: Mntanami, wenzeleni okunje kithi? Khangela, uyihlo lami besikudinga sidubekile.
Elyo nibakamubona bakakankabala. Banyina bakati kulinguwe, “Mwanaangu, nkambonzi nwatujata enzila eyi? Langa, wuso andime twalikukuyandula achakutankalinkana.”
49 Wasesithi kubo: Kungani lingidinga? Belingakwazi yini ukuthi kumele ukuthi ngibe sezintweni zikaBaba?
Wakati kulimbabo, “Nkambonzi nimwalikundiyandula? Temwazi na kuti ndeelede kuba mungánda yandeende?”
50 Kodwa bona kabaliqedisisanga ilizwi alikhuluma kubo.
Pesi bo tebakamvwisisya nzyakalikwamba awayo majwi.
51 Wasesehla labo, weza eNazaretha; wazehlisela ngaphansi kwabo. Unina wasegcina zonke lezizinto enhliziyweni yakhe.
Elyo wakabweda kumunzi kulimbabo kuNazaleta alimwi wakali kulibombya kuli mbabo. Banyina bakalondola zyoonse ezi mumoyo wabo.
52 UJesu waseqhubeka enhlakanipheni lekukhuleni, lekuthandekeni kuNkulunkulu lebantwini.
Pesi Jeso wakaya kunembo akukomena mubusongo a muchiimo, alimwi wakayungizya kuluzyalo kuli Leza aku bantu
