ULukha 2
1 Kwasekusithi ngalezonsuku, isimiso saphuma kuKesari uAgastasi, sokuthi kubhalwe umhlaba wonke.
Henu mu magono aghu, jhatokili kwamba Kaisari Agusto ahomisi lilaghisu kujhelesya kujha jhitolibhwayi sensa jha bhanu bhoha bhabhiishi pa dunia.
2 Lokhukubhalwa kwakungokokuqala ukwenziwa lapho uKwiriniya engumbusi weSiriya.
Ejhe jhajhele sensa jha kwanza jhajhabhombiki wakati Krenio ndo gavana bhwa Siria.
3 Bonke basebesiya ukuze bayebhalwa, ngulowo lalowo emzini wakibo.
Efyo, kila mmonga akalota kumjini kwa muene kujhandikisya sensa.
4 LoJosefa laye wenyuka esuka eGalili, emzini iNazaretha, waya eJudiya, emzini kaDavida, othiwa yiBhethelehema, ngoba wayengowendlu lowosendo lukaDavida,
Ni muene Yusufu akabhoka kabhele mu mji bhwa Nazareti okhu Galilaya ni kusafiri Yudea mu mji bhwa Bethlehemu, bhwa umanyikene kama mji bhwa Daudi, kwandabha jhatokili mu lukholo lwa Daudi.
5 ukuyabhalwa kanye loMariya umkakhe ayemganile, owayezithwele.
Alotili okhu kwijhandikisya pamonga ni Mariamu, ambajhe amposili na akajha ilolelela muana.
6 Kwasekusithi belapho, zaseziphelela insuku zokubeletha kwakhe.
Henu jhatokili kujha, bhobhajhele khola wakati bhwa muene bhwa kwifungula muana bhwa wadili.
7 Wasebeletha indodana yakhe eyingqabutho, wayigoqela ngamalembu, wayilalisa emkolweni, ngoba kwakungelandawo yabo endlini yezihambi.
Akahogola muana ghwa kigos, mzalibhwa bhwa muene bhwa kuanza, akan'syongosela ngobho mb'ele bhuoha kun'kenga muana ni mepu. Ndipo akambeka mu kihori kya kulesela bhanyama kwandabha jhajhelepi nafasi mu nyumba jha bhahesya.
8 Njalo kwakukhona kulelolizwe abelusi ababehlala egangeni futhi belinde umhlambi wabo ebusuku.
Katika eneo e'lu, bhajhele bhachungaji bhabhatameghe kumigonda bhakajha bhilenda makundi gha kondoo bha bhene pakiru.
9 Njalo khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yema eduze kwabo, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yakhanya ibazingelezele; njalo besaba ngokwesaba okukhulu.
Ghafla, malaika bha Bwana akabhatokela, ni bhutukufu bhwa Bwana bhwa langele kubhasyongoka, na bhajhe ni bhuogha sana.
10 Ingilosi yasisithi kubo: Lingesabi; ngoba khangelani, ngitshumayela indaba ezinhle kini ezentokozo enkulu, ezakuba kubantu bonke;
Ndipo malaika akabhajobhela, “Musitili, kwa ndabha ni kabhaletela habari jhinofu ambajho jhileta furaha mbaha kwa bhanu bhoha.
11 ngoba lizalelwe lamuhla uMsindisi, onguKristu iNkosi, emzini kaDavida.
Lelu mwokozi ahogoliki kwandabha jhinu kumjini kwa Daudi! muene ndo Kristu Bwana!
12 Njalo lokhu kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kini: Lizathola usane lugoqelwe ngamalembu, lulele emkolweni.
Ejhe, ndo ishara jha mwibetakupelibhwa, bhwa mwibetakunkolela muana akongibhu nghobho na agonili mu liholi lya kulesela bhanyama.”
13 Njalo kwahle kwaba khona kanye lengilosi ixuku lebutho lasezulwini, lidumisa uNkulunkulu, lisithi:
Ghafla kwajhele ni kijeshi kibhaha lya kumbinguni lyaungena Ni malaika ojhu bhakansifu k'yara bhakajobha,
14 Udumo kalube kuNkulunkulu kweliphezulu, lokuthula emhlabeni; isifiso esihle ebantwini.
“Utukufu kwa K'yara j'ha ajhele kunani, ni amani ij'helayi pa duniani kwa bhoha bhaipendesibhwa nabhu.”
15 Kwasekusithi, ingilosi sezisukile kubo zisiya ezulwini, abantu, abangabelusi, bakhulumisana besithi: Ake siye eBhethelehema, sibone leyonto eyenzakeleyo, iNkosi esazise yona.
Ikajha kwamba malaika bhobhamalikubhoka kulota kumbinguni, bhachungaji bhakajobhe sana bhene kwa bhene, “Tulotayi henu khola Bethlehemu, na tukalolayi khenu ekhe ambakyo kih'omili, ambakyo Bwana atujobhili.”
16 Basebesiza ngokuphangisa, bathola oMariya loJosefa, losane lulele emkolweni.
Bhakaharakisya khola, na bhan'kolili Mariamu ni Yusufu, na bhambwene muana agonili mu liholi lya kulesele bhanyama.
17 Sebebonile basebesazisa indawo ezizingelezeleyo ngelizwi ababelitshelwe mayelana lalo umntwana omncane.
Na bhobhabhuene naha, bhakabhajulisha bhanu khela kyabhajobhibhu kuhusu muana.
18 Labo bonke abakuzwayo bamangala ngezinto ezazikhulunywe ngabelusi kubo.
Bhoha bhabhepeliki habari ejhe bhasyangesibhu ni khela kyakyajobhibhu ni bhachungaji.
19 Kodwa uMariya walondoloza wonke la amazwi, enakana ngawo enhliziyweni yakhe.
Lakini Mariamu ajhendelili kufikiri kuhusu ghoha ghaamali kughap'eleka, aghatunzili mu muoyo ghwa muene.
20 Basebebuyela abelusi, bemdumisa bembonga uNkulunkulu ngazo zonke izinto ababezizwile lababezibonile, njengalokho okwakukhulunywe kubo.
Bhachungaji bhakakerebhuka bhakantukusya ni kun'sifu k'yara kwandabha jha khila khenu kyabhamali kup'eleka ni kulola, kama tukyajhikajhele jhinenibhu kwa bhene.
21 Kwathi seziphelile insuku eziyisificaminwembili zokuthi umntwana omncane asokwe, ibizo lakhe laselithiwa nguJesu, elalibizwe yingilosi engakomulwa esiswini.
Bhojhifikili ligono lya nane na jhajhele ndo wakati bhwa kun'tahiri muana, bhakan'kuta lihina Yesu, lya amalikupelibhwa ni jhola malaika kabla jha luleme kut'ongibhwa mulileme.
22 Kwathi seziphelele insuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe ngokomlayo kaMozisi, bamletha eJerusalema, ukuze bammise phambi kweNkosi
Zao lyalilondekeghe lya utakaso bho sipetili, kul'engana ni sheria jha Musa, Yusufu ni Mariamu bhakampeleka ku hekalu khola Yerusalemu kumb'eka palongolo pa Bwana.
23 (njengokulotshiweyo emlayweni weNkosi ukuthi konke okwesilisa okuvula isibeletho kuzathiwa kungcwele eNkosini)
Kama kyajhalembibhu mu sheria sya Bwana, “khila n'gosi jhaafungulibhu lileme ni ibetakukutibhwa jhaapisibhu bhakfu kwa Bwana.”
24 lokuthi banikele umhlatshelo njengokutshiwo emlayweni weNkosi, amajuba amabili kumbe amaphuphu amabili enkwilimba.
Bhabhu ni bhene bhahidili kupisya sadaka kulengana ni khela kyakijobhibhwa mu sheria jha Bwana, Jozi jha jhebha au makinda mabhele gha njebha.”
25 Njalo khangela, kwakukhona eJerusalema umuntu, obizo lakhe linguSimeyoni, njalo lumuntu wayelungile ekhuthele ekukhonzeni, elindele induduzo kaIsrayeli, loMoya oNgcwele wayephezu kwakhe.
Langayi, pajhele ni munu mu Yerusalemu ambajhe lihina lya muene akutibhweghe Simeoni. Munu ojho ajhele mwenye haki ni mcha Mungu. Muene akajha ilendela kwandabha jha mfariji ghwa Israeli, ni Roho mtakatifu ajhele panani pa muene.
26 Futhi kwakubonakalisiwe kuye nguMoya oyiNgcwele, ukuthi kayikubona ukufa engakamboni uKristu weNkosi.
Jhamali kufunulibhwa kwa muene kupetela Roho mtakatifu kujha muene ngaafwilepi kabla jha kumbona kristu Bwana.
27 Wasengena ethempelini ngoMoya; kwathi abazali bemletha umntwana omncane uJesu, ukuze benze ngaye ngokomkhuba womlayo,
Ligono limonga ahidili mugati mu hekalu, alongosibhu ni Roho mtakatifu. Ambapo bhazazi bhandetili muana, Yesu, kumbombela ghala ghaghalondekejhe jha sheria,
28 yena wasemthatha wamphatha engalweni zakhe, wabonga uNkulunkulu, wathi:
Ndipo Simeoni ampokili mu mabhoko gha muene, ni kun'sifu k'yara ni kujobha,
29 Nkosi, khathesi iyekele inceku yakho ihambe ngokuthula, njengokwelizwi lakho;
“Henu ruhusuayi n'tumishi ghwa jhobhi alotayi kwa amani Bwana, kulengana ni lilobhi lya jhobhi.
30 ngoba amehlo ami alubonile usindiso lwakho
Kwa kujha mihu ghangu ghaubhwene wokovu bhwa jhobhi,
31 olulungisileyo phambi kobuso babantu bonke;
ambabho bhubhonekene kwa mihu gha bhanu bhoha.
32 ukukhanya kokwembulela abezizwe, lenkazimulo yesizwe sakho uIsrayeli.
Muene ndo nuru kwandabha jha ufunuo kwa bhamataifa ni utukufu bhwa bhanu Israeli.”
33 UJosefa lonina basebemangala ngezinto ezatshiwo ngaye.
Dadi ni Mabhu ghwa bhana bhasyangesibhu kwa mambo ghaghalongeliki juu jha bhene.
34 USimeyoni wasebabusisa, wathi kuMariya unina: Khangela, lo umiselwe ukuwa lokuvuka kwabanengi kuIsrayeli, lokuba yisibonakaliso esizaphikiswa;
Ndipo Simeoni akabhabariki ni kujobha Mariamu nyinamunu, “Pelekesiajhi kwa ndabha jha kujhagha ni kuokoka kwa bhanu bhingi mu Israeli na ndo ishara ambajho bhanu bhingi bhibeta kujhipinga.
35 futhi lawe, inkemba izadabula owakho umphefumulo; ukuze imicabango yenhliziyo ezinengi yembulwe.
Kabhele ndo upanga bhwawibeta kuhoma nafsi jha jhobhi ghwe muene, ili kwamba mabhwasu gha mioyo jha bhingi jhidhihirikayi”.
36 Njalo kwakukhona uAna umprofethikazi, indodakazi kaFanuweli, owesizwe sikaAsheri; wayesekhulile kakhulu, ebehlale lendoda iminyaka eyisikhombisa kusukela ebuntombini bakhe,
Nabii n'dala jhaakutibhweghe Ana ajhele mu hekalu. Muene ajhele binti ghwa Fanueli kuhoma kabila lya Asheri. Ajhele ni miaka ghimehele sana. Ni muene atamili ni n'gosi kwa miaka sana baada jha kubhonana,
37 njalo wayengumfelokazi owayengaba leminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lane, engasuki ethempelini, ekhonza ngokuzila ukudla langemikhuleko ebusuku lemini.
Na ndipo akajha mjane kwa miaka themanini na nne. Ni muene abhwayilepi kubhoka mu hekalu na akajha ijhendelela kumwabudu K'yara pamonga ni kufunga ni kus'oka, kiru ni musi.
38 Laye efika ngalelohola wadumisa uNkulunkulu, wakhuluma ngaye kubo bonke ababelindele inkululeko eJerusalema.
Na kwa wakati obhu ahidili pala pa bhajhele akajhanda kun'shuru k'yara. Alongili kumhusu muana kwa khila munu ambajhe alendeleleghe ukombozi bhwa Yerusalemu.
39 Kwathi sebeqedile konke okungokomlayo weNkosi, babuyela eGalili, emzini wakibo iNazaretha.
Bho bhamalili khila khenu kya bhalondeghe kubhomba kulengana ni sheria jha Bwana, bhakakerebhuka Galilaya, kumjini kwa bhene, Nazareti.
40 Lomntwana omncane wakhula, waqina emoyeni, wagcwala inhlakanipho; lomusa kaNkulunkulu wawuphezu kwakhe.
Muana akholili, na ajhe ni nghofu, akajhongeseka katika hekima, ni neema jha K'yara jhajhele panani pa muene.
41 Njalo abazali bakhe babesiya eJerusalema iminyaka yonke ngomkhosi wephasika.
Bhazazi bha mwene khila mwaka bhalotili Yerusalemu kwandabha jha sikukuu jha Pasaka.
42 Kwathi eseleminyaka elitshumi lambili, sebenyukele eJerusalema njengomkhuba womkhosi,
Bhoajhe ni umri wa miaka kumi hi mibhele, bhakalota kabhele wakati muafaka kidesturi kwandabha jha sikukuu.
43 njalo sebeziqedile insuku, ekubuyeleni kwabo, umntwana uJesu wasala eJerusalema; njalo uJosefa lonina bengazi;
Baada jha kubhakila magono ghoha kwandabha jha sikukuu bhajhandili kukerebhuka kunyumba. Lakini n'gosi Yesu abakili kunyuma m'ola mu Yerusalemu ni bhazazi bha muene bhamanyilepi e'le.
44 kodwa becabanga ukuthi wayesexukwini endleleni, bahamba uhambo losuku, bamdinga phakathi kwezinini labazana labo;
Bhadhanieghe ajhele mu likundi lya bhasafirieghe nalu, hivyo bhasafiri safari jha ligono. Ndipo bhakajhanda kundonda miongoni mwa bhalongo munu ni marafiki bha bhene.
45 kodwa bengamtholi, babuyela eJerusalema, bemdinga.
Bhobhashindilu kun'kabha, bhakakerebhuka Yerusalemu ni kujhanda kundonda omu.
46 Kwasekusithi emva kwensuku ezintathu, bamthola ethempelini, ehlezi phakathi kwabafundisi, njalo ebalalela, futhi ebabuza.
Jhatokili kwamba baada jha magono madatu, bhakan'kabha mu hekalu, akajha atamili pagati pa bhalimu, akabhap'elekesya ni kubhakhota maswali.
47 Njalo bonke ababemuzwa bamangala kakhulu ngolwazi lempendulo zakhe.
Bhoha bhabhampelekisi bhasyangesibhu ni ufahamu bhwa muene ni majibu gha muene.
48 Kwathi bembona bamangala; lonina wathi kuye: Mntanami, wenzeleni okunje kithi? Khangela, uyihlo lami besikudinga sidubekile.
Bho bhambwene, bhastajabili. Nyinamunu akan'jobhela, “Mwanabhangu, kwandabha jhakiki ukatubhombela naha? Pelekesiajhi, Dadi waku ni nene tukulondili kwa wasiwasi mbaha.”
49 Wasesithi kubo: Kungani lingidinga? Belingakwazi yini ukuthi kumele ukuthi ngibe sezintweni zikaBaba?
Akabhajobhela, “kwandabha jhakiki mnilondeghe? Mwamanyilepi kujha lazima nijhelayi mu nyumba jha dadi jhangu?
50 Kodwa bona kabaliqedisisanga ilizwi alikhuluma kubo.
Lakini bhanjelibhu lepi kiki akimaanishieghe kwa malobhi aghu.
51 Wasesehla labo, weza eNazaretha; wazehlisela ngaphansi kwabo. Unina wasegcina zonke lezizinto enhliziyweni yakhe.
Ndipo akalota pamonga nabhu mpaka kunyumba Nazareti na ajhele mtii lwa bhene. Nyinamunu ahifadhili mambo ghoha mu muoyo ghwa muene.
52 UJesu waseqhubeka enhlakanipheni lekukhuleni, lekuthandekeni kuNkulunkulu lebantwini.
Lakini Yesu ajhendelili kukhola katika hekima ni kimo, na ajhongesiki kuganikibhwa ni k'yara ni bhanu.
