Luka 2
1 nambeambe katika lichoba liyo, yatibonekana kwamba kaisari Agusto apiite agizo kumuelekeza kwamba itolekwe sensa ya bandubaatama mulunia.
Now it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole inhabited world should be enrolled.
2 Yeno yabile ni sensa ya kwanza yaipangilwe muda Krenio abile gavana wa Siria.
This first census took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.
3 nyoo kila yumo atiyenda mjini kwayenda yakuandikisha sensa.
So everyone was traveling, each to his own town, to enroll himself.
4 Niywembe Yusufu atiboka kae katika mji wa Nazaleti kwa Galilaya na atisafiri Yudea kwa mji wa Bethlehemu, utangilikwa kati mji wa Daudi, kwa sababu atepitiya lukoloo lwa Daudi.
So Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of Natsareth town, into Judea to the city of David, that is called Bethlehem, because he was of David's ‘house’, that is, line of descent,
5 Atiyenda kwa kujiandikicha pamope na Mariamu, ywembe abile kobeka na abile pekaniliya mwana.
to enroll himself with Mary, the woman who had been betrothed to him, who was pregnant.
6 Nambeyambe atikuipya kwamba, pabile kolo muda wake wa papa mwana utimile.
So it happened that when they got there the days for her to give birth were completed;
7 Apapite mwana nnalome, mmbeleko wake wa kwanza, atikumbilingia ngobo muyega atikumlendelana mbepo mwana. Boka po atikumbeka kwenye liholilyalelya inyama, kwasababu yabile ntopo nafasi kwenye nyumba ya wageni.
and she gave birth to her firstborn Son, wrapped Him in pieces of cloth and laid Him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the lodging place.
8 Katika eneo lelo, babile bachungaji mmigunda batilendanga kipenga sa ngondolo wabe kilo.
Now there were shepherds in that same area, staying out in the field and keeping the nightly watches over their flock.
9 Ghafla, malaika wa Ngwana atibonekana, na utukufu wa Ngwana uting'ara kubatindiya, ni babile na hofu muno.
When wow, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 Ndipo malaika atikuwabakia “Lana muyogope”kwa sababu natikubaletya habari njema ambayo ipala kululetya puraha ngolo kwa bandu boti.
The angel said to them: “Do not be afraid because listen, I am announcing the most joyful news to you, which will be to all the people!
11 Leno mwokozi atibelekwa kwaajili yinu mjini mwa Daudi! ywembe nga Kristu Ngwana!
You see, today, in David's city, a Savior was born to you, who is Lord Christ!
12 Yeno nga ishara ambayo tupeilwe, mpala kumkolia mwana atitabilwa ngobo ni atigonja ku'liholi lya lelilya inyama.”
And this is the sign to you: you will find a Baby wrapped in pieces of cloth, lying in a manger.”
13 Ghafla kwabile na jeshi likolo lya kumaundebatiungana na malaika hago batikumsifu Nnongo, batibaya, “
Suddenly a multitude of the heavenly army was with the angel praising God and saying,
14 Utukufu kwa Nnongo ywa abile kunani muno, ni amani ibi mukilambo kwa boti bapendezwa nae.”
“Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward mankind!”
15 Yabile kwamba malaika payomwike boka yenda kumaunde, bachungaji batibakiana bene kwa bene, “tuyende na mbeyambe kolo Bethlehemu, na tukannole cheno kilebe ambacho kitibonekana, ambacho Ngwana atitubakia.”
So when the angels went away from them into the sky the men, the shepherds, said to one another, “Hey, let's go to Bethlehem and see this event that has taken place, that the Lord made known to us!”
16 Batiyombeteka kolo, na batikunkoliya Mariamu na Yusufu, bamweni mwana atigonja ku'holi la, lelya inyama.
So they went in a hurry and located both Mary and Joseph, and the Baby lying in the manger.
17 Na bapamweni nyoo, batekuwabakiya bandu celo chabakibweni batibakilwa chakimhusu mwana.
And having seen they spread an exact account of the saying that had been spoken to them concerning this Child.
18 Boti babayowine habari yeno batishangara na chelo chabalongei na bachungaji.
All who heard marveled at the things told them by the shepherds.
19 Lakini Mariamu atiyendelea fikiri husu gooti yayomwike kuyapekaniya, atikuyatunza mwoyoni mwake.
As for Mary, she treasured all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 Bachungaji babuyangite batikumtukuza na kumsifu Nnongo kwaajili ya kila kilebe chabakipekani na kukibona, kama tu yaibile inenwa kwabe.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God over all that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
21 Payeikite lichiba lya nane na yabile ni muda wa ina mwana, batikumkema lina Yesu, lina lapeilwe na yolo malaika kabla ya kundumbo inatunga kwaa ndumbo.
When eight days were completed so as to circumcise Him, His name was indeed called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
22 Mazao yagapalikwa ya utakaso zapitike, lingana na sakiya ya Musa, Yusufu na Mariamu bampotwike kulihekalu kolyo Yerusalemu kum'beka nnonge ya Ngwana.
And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they took Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
23 Kati yaiandikilwe katika saliya ya Ngwana, “kila nnalome yayogowa ndumbo ndumbo apala kemelwa ywapiitwe wakfu kwa Ngwana.”
(just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens a womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
24 Balo nyanyanya baichile piya sadaka lengana na chelo chakibailwe katika saliya ya Ngwana, “Jozi ya ngunda ama mabunda mabele ya ngunda.”
and to offer a sacrifice according to what was specified in the Lord's Law, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons”.
25 Linga, pabile na mundu katika Yerusalem ambaye lina lyake abile akemelwa Simeoni. mundu ywa abi na haki na mcha Nnongo. Ywembe abile atilenda kwaajili ya mfariji wa Israel, na Roho mpeletau abi kunani yake.
Well now, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, expectantly waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 Yabile iyomwike tunuliwa kwa ywembe ywa Roho mpeletau kwomba ywembe apala waa kaa kabya ya kum'mona Kristob wa Ngwana.
(It had been revealed to him repeatedly by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he saw the Lord's Messiah.)
27 lichoba limo aichile nkati ya hekalu, ationgozwa na Roho mpeletau, ambapo azazi batikunleta mwana, Yesu, kumpangia galo yapalikwe kawaida ya saliya.
So by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought the Child Jesus in, to do concerning Him according to the custom of the law,
28 ndipo Simeoni atipokiya kwaluboko lwake, na atikumsifu Nnongo nabaya,
Simeon took Him into his arms and blessed God and said:
29 “Nambeyambe ruhusa mtumishi wako ayende kwa amani Ngwana, lengana na Neno lyako.
“Sovereign, now You can release your slave in peace, according to Your word,
30 Kwa kuwa minyo gango yabwe ni wokovu wako,
because my eyes have seen Your salvation,
31 ambao utibonekana kwa minyo ya bandu boti.
which You have prepared before the face of all peoples:
32 Ywembe ni nuru kwaajili ya ufunuo kwa bamataifa na utukufu wa bandu baisraeli.”
a light for revelation to Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.”
33 Tate na mao ba mwana batishangala kwa makowe ambayo atilongela kunani yake.
And Joseph and His mother were marveling at the things being spoken concerning Him.
34 Ndipo Simeoni atikuwabariki na baya kwa Mariamu mao bake, “pekaniya kwa makini! mwana yo atakuwa sababu ya obiya na okoka kwa bandu benge katika Israel na ni ishara ambayo bandu benge bataikana.
Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother: “Listen, this One is appointed to bring about the fall and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that is spoken against,
35 Pia ni upanga wapala kuchoma nafsi yako na mwene, ili kwamba mawaso ya mioyo ya benge yatangike.”
so that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed (furthermore, a sword will pass through your own soul also).”
36 Nabii nnwawa akemelwa Ana pia abile mulihekalu. ywembe abile nwawa wa Fanueli boka likabila lya Asheri. Abii na miaka yanambone muno. Naye atitama na nchengowe kwa miaka saba baada ya kobekwa.
Also there was a prophetess Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher—she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity
37 Na ndipo abii mjane kwa miaka themanini na ncheche. Naye abile kwaa boka muhekalu na abile atiyendelea kumuabudu Nnongo pamope na taba roba, kilo na mutwekati.
and having been a widow for about eighty-four years—who did not depart from the temple, serving God with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 Na kwa muda woo, aichile palo pabile natumbwa shukuru Nnongo, nalongela husu mwana kwa kila mundu ambaye abile akilenda ukombozi wa Yerusalemu.
Well she, having come up at that very moment, started praising the Lord, and kept on speaking of Him to all those in Jerusalem who were looking for redemption.
39 Pabayomwile kila kile chawapalike panga lingana na saliya ya Ngwana, batibuya Galilaya, mjini kwabe, Nazareti.
When they had completed everything, according to the law of the Lord, they went back to Galilee, to their own town, Natsareth.
40 Mwana atikola, na abii na ngupu, atiyongezeka katika hekima, na neema ya Nnongo yabile kunani yake.
And the Child kept growing and being strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom; yes, the grace of God was upon Him.
41 Wazazi bake kila mwaka batiyenda Yerusalem kwaajili ya sikukuu ya Pasaka.
Now every year His parents would go to Jerusalem to the feast of the Passover;
42 Pabile na umri wa miaka komi na ibele, batiyenda kae muda mwafaka kidesturi kwaajili ya sikukuu.
so when He was twelve years old they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
43 Baada ya bakia machoba goti kwaajili ya sikukuu, batumbwile buyangana kunyumba. lakini nnalome Yesu atiigala nnchogo mwolo Yerusalem na wazazi bake batangite kwaa.
When they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but Joseph and His mother did not know it.
44 Batangite kwamba abile mu'kipenga cha babile nabo musafari, batibutuka safari ya lichoba limo, ndipo batumbwile kumpala miongoni mwa anunange na marafiki wabe.
Supposing Him to be in the caravan, they went a day's journey and then started looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Pabashindwile kumpala, batibuya Yerusalem na tumbwa kumpala.
Not finding Him, they returned to Jerusalem seeking Him.
46 Itibonekana kwamba baada ya lichoba lya itatu, batikumpata hekaluni, abi atitama katikati ya baalimu, akibapekania na kuwalokiya maswali.
So it happened that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
47 Boti bayowine batishangala na ufahamu wake na majibu gake.
(All who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.)
48 Pmweni, batishangala, mao bake atikumkumbatia, mwanango, namani cha ututendeite nyaa? Pekani, tate boka na nee tutikupala kwa wasiwasi nkolo.”
So upon seeing Him they were amazed, and His mother said to Him: “Son, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in distress.”
49 Atikuwabakia,'kitumbwe namani kunipala? mwatangite kwaa kwamba lazima nibii ku'nnyumba ya Tate bangu?
So He said to them: “Why were you seeking me? Didn't you know that I must be about my Father's concerns?”
50 Lakini baelewite kwaa namani chamaanisha kwa maneno galo.
But they did not understand the statement that He made to them.
51 Ndipo ayeii pamope nao mpaka kaya Nazareti na abile mtii kwabe. Mao bake abekite makowe goti moyoni mwake.
Then He went down with them and came to Natsareth, and continued subordinating Himself to them; His mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Lakini Yesu atiendelea kola katika hekima na kimo, na azidite pendwa na Nnongo na bandu.
And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
