1 Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku, isimiso saphuma kuKesari uAgastasi, sokuthi kubhalwe umhlaba wonke.
Hagi ana knafi mika Romu kamani vahe'mo'za kva hu'naza mopafina, Romu rankva ne' agi'a Sisa Ogastusi'a kasege erinteno, maka vahe'mo'za zamagia eme kreho hu'ne.
2 Lokhukubhalwa kwakungokokuqala ukwenziwa lapho uKwiriniya engumbusi weSiriya.
Hagi Siria mopafina Kuiriniasi Gavana mani'nere, ana knafi ese kna agafa hu'za zamagia kre'naze.
3 Bonke basebesiya ukuze bayebhalwa, ngulowo lalowo emzini wakibo.
Ana hige'za maka vahe'mo'za zamagi kre'naku mopa agafa zimire vutere hu'naze.
4 LoJosefa laye wenyuka esuka eGalili, emzini iNazaretha, waya eJudiya, emzini kaDavida, othiwa yiBhethelehema, ngoba wayengowendlu lowosendo lukaDavida,
Josefe'a agranena kini ne' Deviti nagapinti ne'kino, Nazareti kuma Galili kazigati atreno, Betlehemue nehaza Deviti kumate vu'ne.
5 ukuyabhalwa kanye loMariya umkakhe ayemganile, owayezithwele.
Josefe'a a'isa kinte'nea a' nevareno, Kamani vahe'mo'za zanagima krenagu amu'ene hu'negene vu'na'e.
6 Kwasekusithi belapho, zaseziphelela insuku zokubeletha kwakhe.
Hagi anantega umaninakeno, Mariana mofavrema kasentesia kna egeno,
7 Wasebeletha indodana yakhe eyingqabutho, wayigoqela ngamalembu, wayilalisa emkolweni, ngoba kwakungelandawo yabo endlini yezihambi.
ese ne' mofavre kasenteno tavravenu ano vazino, bulimakamofo ne'za zuompafi antegeno mase'ne. Na'ankure miza seno mase nontamina ana mika vahe'moke hiza higeno'e.
8 Njalo kwakukhona kulelolizwe abelusi ababehlala egangeni futhi belinde umhlambi wabo ebusuku.
Hagi ana kuma tva'onte, sipisipi kva vahe'mo'za kenage sipisipia kva hu'za megi'a mani'nageno,
9 Njalo khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yema eduze kwabo, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yakhanya ibazingelezele; njalo besaba ngokwesaba okukhulu.
ame huno ankeromo efore nehigeno, Ramofo masa'amo anamokizmi remsa hunezmantege'za koro hu'naze.
10 Ingilosi yasisithi kubo: Lingesabi; ngoba khangelani, ngitshumayela indaba ezinhle kini ezentokozo enkulu, ezakuba kubantu bonke;
Hianagi ankeromo anage huno zamasami'ne, Kore osuta antahi so'e hiho, nagra Knare Musenke eri'na neonkino, maka ama mopafi vahe'mo'za tusi muse hugahaze.
11 ngoba lizalelwe lamuhla uMsindisi, onguKristu iNkosi, emzini kaDavida.
Na'ankure menina Deviti kumatera, tamagri'ma tamagu'vazinia mofavre kasente'ne. Hanki ana nera Ramo, Kraisi'e.
12 Njalo lokhu kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kini: Lizathola usane lugoqelwe ngamalembu, lulele emkolweni.
Hanki avame'za ome kesnazana amana hu'ne, ana mofavre tavaravefi antegafino bulimakao ne'za zuompafi ante'nenketa ome kegahaze.
13 Njalo kwahle kwaba khona kanye lengilosi ixuku lebutho lasezulwini, lidumisa uNkulunkulu, lisithi:
Anage nehigeno, ame huno rama'a ankeromo'za monafinti anante efore hu'za, Anumzamofo agi erisaga nehu'za anage hu'za,
14 Udumo kalube kuNkulunkulu kweliphezulu, lokuthula emhlabeni; isifiso esihle ebantwini.
Monafi marerisa kumapi nemania Anumzamo'a Ra agi erino. Hagi mopafina vahe'mo'za zamarimpa frune maniho. Anumzamo'a rimpa fru huzmante!
15 Kwasekusithi, ingilosi sezisukile kubo zisiya ezulwini, abantu, abangabelusi, bakhulumisana besithi: Ake siye eBhethelehema, sibone leyonto eyenzakeleyo, iNkosi esazise yona.
Anage hute'za ankero vahe'mo'za zamatre'za monafi ete marerizage'za, sipisipi afu kva vahe'mo'za zamagragura anage hu'naze, Erinketa Ramo'ma menina Betlehemu kumate hentofazana forehie huno tasamiazana ome kesune.
16 Basebesiza ngokuphangisa, bathola oMariya loJosefa, losane lulele emkolweni.
Nehu'za ame hu'za oti'za vu'za ome kazana Maria'ene Josefekea, mofavre'zinia bulimakamofo ne'za zuompafi antemase nege'za ome ke fore hu'naze.
17 Sebebonile basebesazisa indawo ezizingelezeleyo ngelizwi ababelitshelwe mayelana lalo umntwana omncane.
Sipsipi kva vahe'mo'za ome ke fore nehu'za, ankero vahe'mo'zama ana mofavregu hu'naza kea, nererane nefanena znasami'naze.
18 Labo bonke abakuzwayo bamangala ngezinto ezazikhulunywe ngabelusi kubo.
Hagi ana kema maka vahe'mo'za antahi'zamo'za, antri nehu'za antahintahi hakare hu'naze.
19 Kodwa uMariya walondoloza wonke la amazwi, enakana ngawo enhliziyweni yakhe.
Hianagi Maria'a ana nanekema hazankea nentahino, agu'afi ana maka kea nenteno ana kea agera okani'ne.
20 Basebebuyela abelusi, bemdumisa bembonga uNkulunkulu ngazo zonke izinto ababezizwile lababezibonile, njengalokho okwakukhulunywe kubo.
Hagi sipisipi kva vahe'mo'za rukrahe hu'za nevu'za, ankero vahe'mo'za hu'naza kemofo nena'a maka fore hige'za, nege'za nentahiza hu'naza zanku, Anumzamofo muse hunente'za, Agi'a erisaga hume vu'naze.
21 Kwathi seziphelile insuku eziyisificaminwembili zokuthi umntwana omncane asokwe, ibizo lakhe laselithiwa nguJesu, elalibizwe yingilosi engakomulwa esiswini.
Hagi 8 knazupa avufa taga nehu'za, agi'a Jisasi'e hu'za antemi'naze. Ana agi'a ankeromo nerera rimpafima fore osu'negeno Jisasi'e hunka agi'a antegahane hu'nea kante ante'za agi'a ante ami'naze.
22 Kwathi seziphelele insuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe ngokomlayo kaMozisi, bamletha eJerusalema, ukuze bammise phambi kweNkosi
Hagi zamazeri agruhu knama vagaregeno, Mosese kasegemo'ma hu'nea kante ante'ne Josefe ene Mariakea Jisasina avare'ne Ra Anumzamofo aminaku Jerusalemi kumate ra mono nompi vu'na'e.
23 (njengokulotshiweyo emlayweni weNkosi ukuthi konke okwesilisa okuvula isibeletho kuzathiwa kungcwele eNkosini)
Ramofo kasegefi krente'neana, Maka ese ne'mofavrema kasentesiana ramofo ami'nigeno, ruotge mofavre manigahie hu'ne. (Eks-Ati 13:2)
24 lokuthi banikele umhlatshelo njengokutshiwo emlayweni weNkosi, amajuba amabili kumbe amaphuphu amabili enkwilimba.
Ramofo kasegefi huno, kre sramanama huntesazana, Tare maho namanuro, tare kasefa namanu kre sramana vugahaze hu'nea kante ante'ne ome ana hu'na'e. (Lev-Pri 12:8.)
25 Njalo khangela, kwakukhona eJerusalema umuntu, obizo lakhe linguSimeyoni, njalo lumuntu wayelungile ekhuthele ekukhonzeni, elindele induduzo kaIsrayeli, loMoya oNgcwele wayephezu kwakhe.
Hagi mago nera Jerusalemi kumate mani'nea ne' agi'a Simioni'e. Ana nera fatgo nekino, kazigazi huno Anumzamofo amage anteno nevuno, Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamahoke ahesnia vahe fore hanigu avega anteno mani'negeno, Ruotge Avamumo'a agripina avite'ne.
26 Futhi kwakubonakalisiwe kuye nguMoya oyiNgcwele, ukuthi kayikubona ukufa engakamboni uKristu weNkosi.
Ruotge Avamumo korapa averi huno, ofri mani'nenka, Ra Anumzamo taza hania ne' Kraisina huntena fore hinkenka ketenka frigahne, huno asami'negeno antahino mani'ne.
27 Wasengena ethempelini ngoMoya; kwathi abazali bemletha umntwana omncane uJesu, ukuze benze ngaye ngokomkhuba womlayo,
Ana higeno Simionina Ruotage Avamumo azeri otigeno, ra mono nompi marerino umani'negeno, Jisasi nerera ene nefakea avare'ne kasegemoma hu'neaza huke e'na'e.
28 yena wasemthatha wamphatha engalweni zakhe, wabonga uNkulunkulu, wathi:
Simioni'a ana mofavre nevareno, Anumzamofo ra agi erisaga nehuno amanage huno hu'ne.
29 Nkosi, khathesi iyekele inceku yakho ihambe ngokuthula, njengokwelizwi lakho;
Ramoka kazokazo eri'za vaheka'amo'na, huvempa kema hunante'nana zana hago fore hige'na koe. Hagi natrege'na kema hunana kante ante'na narimpa frune fri'neno.
30 ngoba amehlo ami alubonile usindiso lwakho
Na'ankure tahokeno taza hanimofona, nagra navunu koe,
31 olulungisileyo phambi kobuso babantu bonke;
Kagra korapa retro hunte'namo maka vahe zamufi efore hie.
32 ukukhanya kokwembulela abezizwe, lenkazimulo yesizwe sakho uIsrayeli.
Agra masagino maka megi'a vahetera remsa hunezmantena, Israeli vahe kamofona ra agi amigahie.
33 UJosefa lonina basebemangala ngezinto ezatshiwo ngaye.
Ana mofavremofo nerera'ene nefakea ana kema huntea kegu tusiza hu'ne antri nehune antahintahi hakare hu'na'e.
34 USimeyoni wasebabusisa, wathi kuMariya unina: Khangela, lo umiselwe ukuwa lokuvuka kwabanengi kuIsrayeli, lokuba yisibonakaliso esizaphikiswa;
Ana huteno, Simioni'a asomu ke hunezmanteno, anage huno Mariana asami'ne, Antahi so'e huo. Ama mofavre kamo'a rama'a Israeli vahe'mofo zamazeri traka nehuno, mago'a nagara zamazeri onetino, mago avame'zankna huno mani'nena, rama'a vahe'mo'za zamefi humigahaze.
35 futhi lawe, inkemba izadabula owakho umphefumulo; ukuze imicabango yenhliziyo ezinengi yembulwe.
Ana hina tamage maka vahe'mofo oku'a antahintahimofona eri ama nehina, kagri'enena asane kazimo tumoka'a reaza hugahie.
36 Njalo kwakukhona uAna umprofethikazi, indodakazi kaFanuweli, owesizwe sikaAsheri; wayesekhulile kakhulu, ebehlale lendoda iminyaka eyisikhombisa kusukela ebuntombini bakhe,
Hagi anampina anahu kna huno kasnampa ara agi'a Ana'e, Fanuel mofakino, Asa nagapintire. Ana a'mo ve erino neve'ene 7ni'a kafuzage mani'negeno, neve'a frigetegeno, manime vuno tavava teno mani'ne.
37 njalo wayengumfelokazi owayengaba leminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lane, engasuki ethempelini, ekhonza ngokuzila ukudla langemikhuleko ebusuku lemini.
Ana a'mo'a kentoza huno maninegeno kafuzage'amo'a 84'a hu'negeno mono nona notreno, monora Anumzamofona hunenteno, ne'za a'o huno nunamuna kenage'ene feru enena nehuno mani'ne.
38 Laye efika ngalelohola wadumisa uNkulunkulu, wakhuluma ngaye kubo bonke ababelindele inkululeko eJerusalema.
Anama nehigeno anante ana a'mo'a eno, Anumzamofona susu hunenteno, Jerusalemi vahe'ma zamaza huno zamavaresanigu avegama ante'naza mofavre fore hie huno huama huno zamasami'ne.
39 Kwathi sebeqedile konke okungokomlayo weNkosi, babuyela eGalili, emzini wakibo iNazaretha.
Hagi Josefe ene Mariakea Ramofo kasegemo'ma hu'neazana ana mika huteke, ete Galili mopare vu'za, Nazarete kumazinire umani'naze.
40 Lomntwana omncane wakhula, waqina emoyeni, wagcwala inhlakanipho; lomusa kaNkulunkulu wawuphezu kwakhe.
Ana hu'ne umaninakeno, Mofavre'zinimo nena huno hanave netino, knare antahintahifi avitegeno, Anumzamofo asunkuzamo'a Agrane me'ne.
41 Njalo abazali bakhe babesiya eJerusalema iminyaka yonke ngomkhosi wephasika.
Maka kafuma ne-egeno'a Jisasi nerera ene nefakea, Anumzamo Israeli vahe kinafinti ozmaheno zmagaterenea kna (Pasova) fore'ma nehigekea, Jerusalemi vutere hu'na'e.
42 Kwathi eseleminyaka elitshumi lambili, sebenyukele eJerusalema njengomkhuba womkhosi,
Hagi Jisasi'a 12fu'a kafuzage higeno, koma neha'aza hu'ne ra knamofo ne'za nenaza kna fore higeke avare'ne marerine vu'na'e.
43 njalo sebeziqedile insuku, ekubuyeleni kwabo, umntwana uJesu wasala eJerusalema; njalo uJosefa lonina bengazi;
Hianagi ne'za neknamo vagamaregeno, nontegama vunaku neazageno, Jisasi'a Jerusalemi kumate mani'negene, nerera ene nefakea onke atreke e'na'e.
44 kodwa becabanga ukuthi wayesexukwini endleleni, bahamba uhambo losuku, bamdinga phakathi kwezinini labazana labo;
Hianagi zanagrama zanagesa antahi'ana, magoka e'nona vahe'ene ne-e hu'ne nentahine nevakeno kinagase'ne. Kinaga onke'ne rone'zinine, mago'a vahe zamantahigazana, a'o tagranena nome hu'naze.
45 kodwa bengamtholi, babuyela eJerusalema, bemdinga.
Hakreke erifore osuke, ete rukrehe huke Jerusalemi ome hakenaku vu'na'e.
46 Kwasekusithi emva kwensuku ezintathu, bamthola ethempelini, ehlezi phakathi kwabafundisi, njalo ebalalela, futhi ebabuza.
Hagi 3'a zagegnama enevige'ne, ra mono nompi kasegemofo rempi huzami vahe'mofo amunompi manineno, kema hazana nentahino zamantahige kea nehigeke, ome kene eri fore hu'na'e.
47 Njalo bonke ababemuzwa bamangala kakhulu ngolwazi lempendulo zakhe.
Hagi Jisasi'ma antahino keno nehuno, kenonazamima hiazankura, maka'mo'za ana kema nentahiza, zamagra antri hu'za hakare antahintahi hu'naze.
48 Kwathi bembona bamangala; lonina wathi kuye: Mntanami, wenzeleni okunje kithi? Khangela, uyihlo lami besikudinga sidubekile.
Hagi nererake nefake nege'ne, antri nehune, nerera'a anage huno hu'ne. Mofavre timoka na'a higenka amanahu kavukvara hunerantane? Ko, negafa'ene, nagranena amuhohuta kagrikura nehako'e.
49 Wasesithi kubo: Kungani lingidinga? Belingakwazi yini ukuthi kumele ukuthi ngibe sezintweni zikaBaba?
Hianagi Jisasi'a kenona huno, Nahigeta Nagrikura nehaka'e? Nafa'nimofo nompi manigahuanki tanagra ontahina'o?
50 Kodwa bona kabaliqedisisanga ilizwi alikhuluma kubo.
Hianagi anagema hiankemofo agafa'a nerera'ene nefakea antahi amara osu'na'e.
51 Wasesehla labo, weza eNazaretha; wazehlisela ngaphansi kwabo. Unina wasegcina zonke lezizinto enhliziyweni yakhe.
Anante Jisasi'a nerera'ene nefa'ene Nasareti uramino umani'neno, nererane nefane kea amage ante'ne. Hianagi nerera'a maka'zama hiazana agu'afi erintegeno me'ne.
52 UJesu waseqhubeka enhlakanipheni lekukhuleni, lekuthandekeni kuNkulunkulu lebantwini.
Jisasi'a knare antahintahizane hanavene nena nehigeno, Anumzamo'a avesinentegeno, vahe'mo'zanena avesinte'naze.
