Luka 2
1 Lukumbi lwenulo, Agusiti mweavi nkosi mkulu wa vankosi va unkosi va ku Loma, alagizili vandu voha vayandikwa muchitabu.
Now in those days, it came about that Caesar Augustus sent out a decree ordering that a census be taken of all the people living in the world.
2 Kuyandakiswa kwenuko kwakita kutumbukana, na lukumbi lwenulo Kulenio avi chilongosi wa ku Silia.
This was the first census made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Kila mundu, akahamba kumuji waki muni ajiyandikisayi.
So everyone went to his own city to be registered for the census.
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 city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line of David.
5 Akahamba kuyandakiswa pamonga na maliya mweavimchumba waki, mweavi na ndumbu.
He went there to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him and was pregnant.
6 Pevavi ku Betelehemu ligono laki likahika akavya na mwana.
Now it came about that while they were there, the time came for her to deliver her baby.
7 Akaveleka mwana waki mtumbulanu mwana mgosi, akamtindisila tunyula twa vana, kangi akamgonesa muwatu wa kulisila mifuya, ndava vapati lepi fwasi munyumba za vayehe.
She gave birth to a son, her firstborn child, and she wrapped him in long strips of cloth and laid him in a 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.
There were shepherds in that region who were staying in the fields, guarding their flock at night.
9 Mtumu wa Chapanga akavahumila na lumuli lukulu lwa Bambu lwavalangasili, pandu poha. Vayogwipi neju.
An angel of the Lord appeared to 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.
Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, because I bring you the good news that will bring great joy to all the people.
11 Muni lelu pamuji wa Daudi avelikiwi msangula winu, Kilisitu ndi Bambu.
Today a savior was born for you in the city of David! He is Christ the Lord!
12 Na ulangisu wa kummanya ndi uwu, yati mukumkolela mwana vamtindisili tunyula twa vana vamgonisi muwatu wa kulisila mifuya.”
This is the sign that will be given to you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
13 Bahapo msambi wa vamitumu vangi va kunani vakawungana na mtumi mwenuyo vakamulumba Chapanga na kujova,
Suddenly there was together with the angel a great, heavenly army praising God and saying,
14 “Alumbiwayi Chapanga kunani, na uteke uvyaa pamulima kwa vandu veaganisiwi nawu!”
“Glory to God in the highest, and may there be peace on earth among people with whom he is pleased.”
15 Pavawuyili Vamitumu vala kunani, ndi vadimaji vakajovesana vene kwa vene, “Tihambayi ku Betelehemu tikagalola geatijovili Bambu aga.”
It came about that when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let us now go 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.
They hurried there and found Mary and Joseph, and saw 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 they had seen him, they made known what had been said to them about this child.
18 Voha vavayuwini gevajoviwi na vadimaji vala, vakakangasa.
All who heard it were amazed at what was spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 Ndi Maliya akagavika na kugahololela mambu goha mumtima waki.
But Mary kept thinking about all the things she had heard, treasuring them in her heart.
20 Vadimaji vala vakawuya, kuni vakumulumbalila Chapanga kwa goha gavayuwini na kugalola, goha ngati chagajoviwi mtumi wa kunani.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for everything that they had heard and seen, just as it had been spoken to them.
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 it was the end of the eighth day, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name he had been 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 required number of days for their purification had passed, according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary brought him up to the temple in 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.”
As it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb will be set apart to the Lord.”
24 Ndi vakahamba kuwusa luteta kwa Chapanga, ngunda zivili amala mawela gavili, ngati chayaganikiwi mu Malagizu ga Bambu.
So they offered a sacrifice according to what was said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of doves 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.
Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout. He was looking 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.
Led by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple. When the parents brought in the infant Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
28 Simoni akampokela mwana Yesu mu mawoko gaki, kuni akumsengusa Chapanga, akajova.
he took him into his arms and praised God and he said,
29 “Hinu, Mkulu, ukitili ngati chewakajovili, unilekayi, nene mvanda waku nihamba cha uteke.
“Now let your servant depart in peace, Lord, according to your word.
30 Kwa mihu gangu niuwene usangula waku,
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 Ndi uhuletili usangula palongolo ya vandu va milima yoha ulolekayi.
which you 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 glory to your people Israel.”
33 Dadi na nyina wa Yesu vakakangasa ndava ya malovi gala gegajoviki kumuvala mwana yula.
His father and mother were amazed at what was 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,
Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the downfall and rising up of many people in Israel and for a sign that is rejected—
35 muni maholo ga vandu va mahele galalolekana pawaka. Wamwene lipyanda ngati upanga, ukuhomili mtima waku.”
and a sword will pierce your own soul—so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
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.
A prophetess named Anna was there. She was the daughter of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher. She was very old. She had lived with her husband for seven years after her virginity,
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 was a widow for eighty-four years. She never left the temple but was serving with fastings and prayers, night and day.
38 Mdala yula akahumila lukumbi lulalula na kutumbula kumsengusa Chapanga na kuvajovela vandu voha gakumuvala mwana yula, vevalindila kugombolewa na kulekekesewa kwa Yelusalemu.
At that very hour she came near to them and began giving thanks to God and she spoke about the child to everyone who had been waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 Yosefu na Maliya pavamali kukita goha gegalagiziwi mu Malagizu ga Bambu, vawuyili kumuji wavi Nazaleti wewavi ku Galilaya.
When they had finished everything they were required to do according to 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.
The child grew and became strong, increasing in wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Kila mwaka dadi na nyina waki Yesu vahambili ku Yelusalemu kumselebuko wa Vayawudi wewikemiwa pasaka.
His parents went every year to Jerusalem for the Festival 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 again went up at the customary time for the feast.
43 Mselebuko pawamaliki, vakawuya, Yesu asigalili ku Yelusalemu changali dadi na nyina waki kumanya.
After they had stayed the full number of days for the feast, they began to return home. But the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem and his parents did not know it.
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 with the group that was traveling with them, so they traveled a day's journey. Then they started looking for him among their relatives and friends.
45 Vamuweni lepi, vakawuya ku Yelusalemu vakumulonda.
When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem and started looking for him there.
46 Ligono la datu la kumlonda, vakamkolela mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, atamii pagati ya vawula va malagizu, akuvayuwanila na kuvakota.
It came about that after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47 Voha vevamuyuwanila malovi gaki vakavya kumkangasa ndava ya luhala na kuyangula kwaki.
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 they saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Listen, your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”
49 Yesu akayangula, “Ndava kyani mukunilonda? Mumanyi lepi ngati yikunigana nene kuvya munyumba ya Dadi wangu?”
He said to them, “Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I had to be about my Father's business?
50 Nambu dadi na nyina waki nakugamanya malovi gala geavajovili.
But they did not understand what he meant by those words.
51 Yesu akawuya pamonga nawu ku Nazaleti, akuvayuwanila. Nyina waki akayendelela kugaholalela mambu goha mumtima waki.
Then he went back home with them to Nazareth and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
52 Yesu akayonjokeseka kukula luhala na higa, akaganisiwa neju na Chapanga na vandu.
But Jesus continued to grow in wisdom and stature, and increased in favor with God and people.
