Luka 2
1 Lukumbi lwenulo, Agusiti mweavi nkosi mkulu wa vankosi va unkosi va ku Loma, alagizili vandu voha vayandikwa muchitabu.
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered in a census.
2 Kuyandakiswa kwenuko kwakita kutumbukana, na lukumbi lwenulo Kulenio avi chilongosi wa ku Silia.
This was the first census, and it took place when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Kila mundu, akahamba kumuji waki muni ajiyandikisayi.
So everyone went to be registered, each to his own town.
4 Na Yosefu mewa akawuka pamuji wa Nazaleti wewavi kumulima wa Galilaya, akahamba kumuji wa Betelehemu wewavi pamulima wa ku Yudea, kweavelikiwi nkosi Daudi.
Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 Akahamba kuyandakiswa pamonga na maliya mweavimchumba waki, mweavi na ndumbu.
to register himself along with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
6 Pevavi ku Betelehemu ligono laki likahika akavya na mwana.
While they were there, the days were fulfilled for her to give birth,
7 Akaveleka mwana waki mtumbulanu mwana mgosi, akamtindisila tunyula twa vana, kangi akamgonesa muwatu wa kulisila mifuya, ndava vapati lepi fwasi munyumba za vayehe.
and she gave birth to her firstborn son. Then she wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Pamulima wenuwo kwavi na vadimaji vevatama pandu pa kudimila na kulindalila mambelele gavi cha kupishana kilu.
In the same region there were shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 Mtumu wa Chapanga akavahumila na lumuli lukulu lwa Bambu lwavalangasili, pandu poha. Vayogwipi neju.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.
10 Nambu Mtumu wa Chapanga akavajovela, “Mkotoka kuyogopa! Myuwanayi nivaletili lilovi la bwina la luheku neju kwa vandu voha va Paisilaeli.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which will be for all the people.
11 Muni lelu pamuji wa Daudi avelikiwi msangula winu, Kilisitu ndi Bambu.
For to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 Na ulangisu wa kummanya ndi uwu, yati mukumkolela mwana vamtindisili tunyula twa vana vamgonisi muwatu wa kulisila mifuya.”
This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Bahapo msambi wa vamitumu vangi va kunani vakawungana na mtumi mwenuyo vakamulumba Chapanga na kujova,
Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
14 “Alumbiwayi Chapanga kunani, na uteke uvyaa pamulima kwa vandu veaganisiwi nawu!”
“Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth, good will among men.”
15 Pavawuyili Vamitumu vala kunani, ndi vadimaji vakajovesana vene kwa vene, “Tihambayi ku Betelehemu tikagalola geatijovili Bambu aga.”
When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 Vakayumbatika kuhamba kwenuko, vakamkolela Maliya na Yosefu na vamgonisi mng'enya muwatu wa kulisila mifuya.
So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger.
17 Vadimaji vala pavamuwene mwana yula, vakatumbula kujova goha gavayuwini kuhuma kwa Mtumu wa kunani kumvala mwana uyo.
After seeing him, they made widely known what they had been told about the child,
18 Voha vavayuwini gevajoviwi na vadimaji vala, vakakangasa.
and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.
19 Ndi Maliya akagavika na kugahololela mambu goha mumtima waki.
But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.
20 Vadimaji vala vakawuya, kuni vakumulumbalila Chapanga kwa goha gavayuwini na kugalola, goha ngati chagajoviwi mtumi wa kunani.
Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
21 Palapiti lijuma limonga, lukumbi lwa kumdumula mwana jandu lwaihiki, vakampela liina la Yesu, ndi liina la apewili na mtumu wa kunani kwakona nyina waki kuvya na ndumbu.
When the eight days were completed for his circumcision, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Payahikili ligono la Yosefu na Maliya kunyambiswa ngati chayaganikiwi na malagizu ga Chapanga geampelili Musa, ndi vampeliki mwana ku Yelusalemu ndava ya kumvika kwa Bambu.
When the days of their purification were completed according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary brought Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
23 Ngati chaiyandikiwi mu Malagizu ga Musa, “Kila mwana mgosi mwaatumbwili kuvelekewa yati ikemelewa msopi na kubaguliwa ndava ya lihengu la Bambu.”
(just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”).
24 Ndi vakahamba kuwusa luteta kwa Chapanga, ngunda zivili amala mawela gavili, ngati chayaganikiwi mu Malagizu ga Bambu.
They also went up to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord: “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25 Lukumbi lwenulo ku Yelusalemu kula kwavi na mundu mmonga, liina laki Simioni, mwenuyo akitayi mambu ga kumganisa Chapanga na mwenuyo alindilayi kuhika lukumbi lwa vandu va Isilaeli kupumuliswa mitima. Na mpungu Msopi avi pamonga na mwene.
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 Mpungu Msopi amgubukuli Simoni yati ifwa lepi changamlola Kilisitu msangula mweahaguliwi yula mweajoviwi na Bambu.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 Ndi Simoni alongwiswi na Mpungu msopi kuhamba mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, pamonga na dadi na nyina wa Yesu, pavampeliki mwana wavi Yesu ndava ya kukita ngati chayaganikiwi na mivelu ya malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa.
So he came in the Spirit into the temple courts, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what was customary under the law,
28 Simoni akampokela mwana Yesu mu mawoko gaki, kuni akumsengusa Chapanga, akajova.
Simeon took him in his arms and blessed God, saying,
29 “Hinu, Mkulu, ukitili ngati chewakajovili, unilekayi, nene mvanda waku nihamba cha uteke.
“Now, Master, yoʋ are releasing yoʋr servant in peace according to yoʋr word,
30 Kwa mihu gangu niuwene usangula waku,
for my eyes have seen yoʋr salvation,
31 Ndi uhuletili usangula palongolo ya vandu va milima yoha ulolekayi.
which yoʋ have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32 Lwenulo ndi lumuli lwa kuvamanyisa vandu vangali kuvya Vayawudi, na ukulu kwa vandu vaku va ku Isilaeli.”
a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for the glory of yoʋr people Israel.”
33 Dadi na nyina wa Yesu vakakangasa ndava ya malovi gala gegajoviki kumuvala mwana yula.
Joseph and the child's mother were amazed at what was being said about him.
34 Ndi Simioni akavamotisa, akamjovela Maliya nyina waki Yesu, “Lola mwana uyu avelekiwi ndava ya vandu vamahele va Isilaeli kugwa kwa vandu vamahele na vangi vamahele kuyinuka, mwene yati ivya ulangisu wa kubelekana na vandu,
Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, the child's mother, “Behold, this child is appointed to bring about the falling and rising of many in Israel and to be a sign that will be spoken against,
35 muni maholo ga vandu va mahele galalolekana pawaka. Wamwene lipyanda ngati upanga, ukuhomili mtima waku.”
so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce yoʋr own soul as well.”
36 Kwavili na mdala mmonga mgogolo neju, mlota wa Chapanga, liina laki Ana, msikana wa Fanueli wa likabila la Asheli. Paavi msikana agegiwi na kutama na mgwana waki miyaka saba ndu.
There was also a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was far advanced in days. Her husband had died seven years after they were married,
37 Kangi asigalili lipwela mbaka muugogolo wa miyaka semanini na mcheche. Lukumbi lwoha awelai mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, ajihinisi kulya na kuyupa kilu na muhi.
and she was a widow of about eighty-four years of age. She did not depart from the temple, but served night and day with fasting and prayer.
38 Mdala yula akahumila lukumbi lulalula na kutumbula kumsengusa Chapanga na kuvajovela vandu voha gakumuvala mwana yula, vevalindila kugombolewa na kulekekesewa kwa Yelusalemu.
She came at that very hour and began giving praise to the Lord and speaking about the child to all who were waiting for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Yosefu na Maliya pavamali kukita goha gegalagiziwi mu Malagizu ga Bambu, vawuyili kumuji wavi Nazaleti wewavi ku Galilaya.
When Joseph and Mary had finished everything that was required by the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
40 Mwana yula akakula na kuvya na makakala, akamema luhala na umotisi wa Chapanga wavi pamonga na mwene.
And the child grew and became strong in spirit; he was filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.
41 Kila mwaka dadi na nyina waki Yesu vahambili ku Yelusalemu kumselebuko wa Vayawudi wewikemiwa pasaka.
Now Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
42 Yesu peahikisi miaka kumi na yivili, voha vakakwela kuhamba ku Yelusalemu, kumselebuko wa vayawudi wa pasaka ngati chayavi mivelu yavi.
When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
43 Mselebuko pawamaliki, vakawuya, Yesu asigalili ku Yelusalemu changali dadi na nyina waki kumanya.
And when they had completed their days there and started returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But Joseph did not know it, and neither did Jesus' mother.
44 Dadi na nyina vaki vaholalili avi pamonga mulugendu, vakagenda muhi woha, kangi vakatumbula kumulonda kwa valongo vaki na vankozi waki.
They assumed that he was in the company of travelers, so they went a day's journey before they began looking for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Vamuweni lepi, vakawuya ku Yelusalemu vakumulonda.
When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
46 Ligono la datu la kumlonda, vakamkolela mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, atamii pagati ya vawula va malagizu, akuvayuwanila na kuvakota.
After three days, they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47 Voha vevamuyuwanila malovi gaki vakavya kumkangasa ndava ya luhala na kuyangula kwaki.
And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 Na pavamuweni vakakenyemuka, nyina waki akamkota “Wamwana vangu ndava kyani utikitili genaga? Dadi waku na nene ting'ahiki neju kukulonda.”
When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Child, why have yoʋ treated us like this? Behold, yoʋr father and I have been looking for yoʋ in great distress.”
49 Yesu akayangula, “Ndava kyani mukunilonda? Mumanyi lepi ngati yikunigana nene kuvya munyumba ya Dadi wangu?”
He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?”
50 Nambu dadi na nyina waki nakugamanya malovi gala geavajovili.
But they did not understand what he said to them.
51 Yesu akawuya pamonga nawu ku Nazaleti, akuvayuwanila. Nyina waki akayendelela kugaholalela mambu goha mumtima waki.
Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was obedient to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
52 Yesu akayonjokeseka kukula luhala na higa, akaganisiwa neju na Chapanga na vandu.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and men.
