Luka 2
1 Majuwa galii, Kaisari Agustinu mfalumi gwa Rumi kabweriti kulagalira, wantu woseri wa Iushi loseri la Rumi wawalangwi.
It came to pass in those days, a decree went out from Augustus Caesar, to enroll all the world.
2 Kuwawalanga aku ndo kuweriti kwa kwanja shipindi Kureniu pakaweriti mkulu gwa mukowa gwa Siriya.
This was the first enrollment, Cyrenius being governor of Syria.
3 Su kila muntu kagenditi kulembwa litawu lyakuwi muisi mwakuwi.
And all were going forth to enroll, each one into his own city.
4 Viraa Yosefu kaweriti na mwanja gwa kulawa Nazareti mumkowa gwa Galilaya, kagenditi muisi ya Betirehemu mumkowa gwa Yudeya pakayiwukiti Dawudi. Yosefu kagenditi kulii toziya kalawiti mushiyuwuku sha Dawudi.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city Nazareth, into Judea, into the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 Kagenditi kulii wakalembwi pamuhera na Mariya muheta gwakuwi, yakaweriti na yinda.
to enroll himself along with Mary, the wife having been betrothed to him, being in an advanced state of pregnancy.
6 Pawaweriti kulii Betirehemu, shipindi sha Mariya sha kwiwura mwana shisokiti.
And it came to pass while they were there the days of her parturition were fulfilled.
7 Kamwiwula mwana gwakuwi gwa kwanja mpalu, kamgubikila nguwu na wamgonjeka muliboma lya wang'ombi, toziya womberi wapatiti ndiri pakugonja kunumba ya wahenga.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and she wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
8 Kuweriti na walolera wa mifugu, yawaweriti kuntundu pashiru wankulolera mifugu yawu.
And the shepherds were in that country, tenting out and keeping guard over their flock by night.
9 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kawalawariti walolera wa mifugu na ukwisa wa Mtuwa guwalangaziya. Womberi watiliti nentu,
And behold an angel of the Lord stood over them and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they feared with great fear.
10 kumbiti ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kawagambira, “Namtira! Neni nuwajegerani shisoweru shiwagira, shisoweru ashi hashiwajegeli wantu woseri wanemeleri nentu.
And the angel said to them; Fear not; for behold, I preach unto you the gospel of great joy, which shall be to all people;
11 Leru muisi ya Mfalumi Dawudi kiwuka Mlopoziya gwenu. Mweni ayu ndo Kristu Mtuwa!
because this day a Savior is born unto you, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
12 Ayi haliweri lilangaliru kwa mwenga, pamusoka kala palii hamumwoni nonu wamgubikira vinguwu vya shiwana wamgonjeka muliboma la wang'ombi.”
And this shall be the sign unto you; you shall find an infant lying in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes.
13 Palaa palii wantumintumi wamonga wa kumpindi wavuwa nentu, waliwoniti pamuhera wamkwisiti Mlungu, pawalonga,
And immediately a multitude of the heavenly host was with the angel, praising God and saying;
14 “Ukwisa uweri kwa Mlungu kumpindi nentu, na ponga iweri pasipanu kwa wantu yawamfira Mlungu!”
Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth; good will among men.
15 Wantumintumi wa kumpindi pawawukiti kala kuwuya kumpindi kwa Mlungu, walolera wa mifugu wanja kuligambira weni, “Vinu su tugendeni Betirehemu na kulola shintu shashitendikiti, shakatugambiriti Mtuwa.”
And it came to pass, when the angels departed from them into heaven, indeed, the shepherds said to one another; Now let us go unto Bethlehem and see this word which has taken place, which the Lord made known to us.
16 Su wawuka wagenda kanongola, pawasokiti palii wawawona Mariya na Yosefu na nonu ulii wamgonjeka muliboma la wang'ombi.
They went making haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
17 Walolera wa mifugu pawamwoniti kala nonu ulii, su wanja kutakula ntambu yawapikaniriti kulawa kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kuusu nonu ayu.
And seeing, they made known concerning the word which was spoken to them about this little child.
18 Muntu yoseri yakapikaniriti hangu kashyeniti visoweru vyawatakuliti walolera wa mifugu.
And all hearing wondered concerning the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 Mariya kavituliti vintu vyoseri avi mumoyu mwakuwi na kavihola mana yakuwi.
And Mary kept all these words laying them up in her heart.
20 Walolera wa mifugu wawuyiti pawayimba kwa kumkwisa Mlungu ntambu yawapikaniriti na yawawoniti, iwera ntambu iraa ilii yawapikaniriti kulawa kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all things which they heard and saw, as it was spoken to them.
21 Palisokiti lishaka lya nani, shipindi sha kumwingiziya mwana jandu, wampananiti litawu Yesu, litawu lyeni ali ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamupananiti kala Mariya pakaweriti ndiri na yinda.
And when the eight days of circumcising Him were fulfilled, and His name was called Jesus, having been called by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
22 Pashisokiti shipindi sha msambu gwa kupungwa kwawu Mariya na Yosefu hangu ndo ifiriwitwi mumalagaliru ga Musa, wamtola mwana wagenda nayu Yerusalemu wamtulili Mtuwa,
And when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they carried him up into Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
23 ntambu yayilembitwi mumalagaliru ga Mtuwa, “Kila mwana gwa kwanja mpalu kafiruwa kutulwa kaweri mnanagala kwa Mtuwa.”
as it was written in the law of the Lord; That every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;
24 Viraa virii wagenditi su walaviyi tambiku ya wankunda wawili ama wana wawili wa teteli, ntambu yayifiruwitwi mulilagaliru ga Mtuwa.
and to offer a sacrifice according to that which has been written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.
25 Shipindi shiraa shilii kuweriti na muntu yumu yawamshema Simoni yakalikaliti Yerusalemu. Kaweriti muntu kaherepa, muntu yakamfiriziya Mlungu na kaweriti kankulolera kulopoziwa kwa wantu wa Israeli. Rohu Mnanagala kaweriti pamuhera na yomberi,
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and the same man was righteous and godly, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him;
26 na Rohu Mnanagala kamgambiriti kala Simiyoni kulonga hapeni kahowi mpaka kamwoni Kristu yakasyagulitwi na Mtuwa.
and it was revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he may see the Christ of the Lord.
27 Su Rohu Mnangala kamlonguziyiti Simiyoni kwingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu. Na palii mawu na tati gwa Yesu wamjegiti Yesu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu wamtenderi ntambu yayifiruwitwi mulilagaliru,
And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and while the parents are bringing in the little child Jesus, that they may do according to the provisions of law concerning Him,
28 Simiyoni kamwanka mwana mumawoku mwakuwi na kamkwisa Mlungu pakalonga,
he received Him into his arms and blessed God and said;
29 “Vinu Mtuwa guweza kumlekeziya ntumintumi gwaku kagendi kwa ponga, toziya gugatimiza galii gagulagaliriti.
Now, O Lord, thou art letting thy servant depart, in peace according to thy word;
30 Masu gangu gawona ulopoziya waku,
because mine eyes saw thy salvation,
31 wawutandiritwi palongolu pa wantu woseri.
which thou didst prepare before the face of all peoples;
32 Ulangala hawuwalangaziyi njira wantu wawawera ndiri Wayawudi na hawujegi ukwisa kwa wantu waku Israeli.”
a light unto the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Tati na mawu gwa mwana walikangashiti nentu ntambu yakatakuliti Simiyoni kuusu mwana gwawu.
And His father and His mother were marveling at the words spoken concerning Him.
34 Simoni kawatekelera, kamgambira Mariya mawu gwa Yesu, “Mwana ayu kasyagulitwi na Mlungu toziya ya kwagamira na kulopoziwa kwa wantu wavuwa Muisraeli. Nayomberi hakaweri lilangaliru kulawa kwa Mlungu kumbiti wantu wavuwa hawamtakuli vidoda,
And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, His mother; Behold, he is appointed unto the fall and rising of many in Israel, and unto a sign which is spoken against;
35 na virii vyawalihola wantu mumyoyu mwawu ndo havimaniki. Na gwenga Mariya utama hawuweri gambira mgoha gwagusongoka, haguwusomi moyu gwaku.”
and a sword shall go through thy soul, in order that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed.
36 Palii kuweriti na mdala mbuyi gwa Mlungu, litawu lyakuwi Ana, mwana gwa Fanueli gwa likabila la Asheri.
And Anna was a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher, herself being advanced in many days, having lived with her husband seven years from her virginity;
37 Shakapanu kasigaliti mkenja mpaka shipindi pakiwiti mgogolu gwa vinja malongu matatu na msheshi. Shipindi shoseri ashi kalikaliti Munumba nkulu ya Mlungu pakaleka kuliya na pakamluwa Mlungu pashiru na paliwala.
and she a widow of about fourscore years, who did not depart from the temple, worshiping night and day with fastings and prayers.
38 Shipindi shila shilii, Ana kiziti na kulonga mayagashii Mlungu na katakuliti visoweru vya mwana kwa wantu woseri wawaweriti wankumuhepera Mlungu kwa kukombolwa kwa Yerusalemu.
And she, at the same hour, standing up continued to praise the Lord, and speak concerning Him to all those awaiting the redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Maliya na Yosefu pawatenditi kala vyoseri ntambu yanfiruwitwi mulilagaliru ga Mtuwa, su wawuyiti ukaya kwawu Nazareti muisi ya Galilaya.
And when they finished all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee into their own city Nazareth.
40 Mwana kakula kawera na makakala, su kawera na luhala na Mlungu kamtekelera.
And the child continued to grow and waxed strong in spirit, being full of wisdom; and the grace of God was on Him.
41 Kila mvinja mawu na tati gwa Yesu wagendaga Yerusalemu mumsambu gwa Pasaka.
And His parents were going, according to custom, into Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
42 Yesu pakaweriti na vinja lilongu na miwili, wagenditi nayu mumsambu ntambu yayiweriti shitiba.
And when He was twelve years old, they going up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast,
43 Paguperiti kala msambu gwa Pasaka, wanjiti mwanja gwa kuwuya ukaya, kumbiti Yesu kasigaliti kulaa Kuyerusalemu pota mawu na tati gwakuwi kuvimana.
and having completed the days, while they were returning the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And His parents knew it not.
44 Womberi wavimana Yesu kapamuhera na wantu wa mwanja, wagendagenda lishaka lyoseri, shakapanu wanja kumsakula mwa walongu na waganja wawu.
And thinking that He is in the crowd, they came a day's journey, and were seeking Him among His relatives and acquaintances.
45 Wamwona ndiri, su wawuyiti Yerusalemu pawamsakula.
And not having found Him; they returned to Jerusalem seeking Him.
46 Lishaka lya tatu wamwoniti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kalikaliti pamuhera na wafunda wa Mayawudi, kaweriti pakawapikinira na kuwakosiya.
And it came to pass, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and asking them questions.
47 Woseri pawampikaniriti vyakatakula, waweriti wankulikangasha ntambu yakeniti mahala na ntambu yakankuliti kwa luhala.
And all hearing Him were astonished at His wisdom and answers.
48 Mawu na tati gwakuwi pawamwoniti washeniti. Maliya, mawu gwakuwi, kamkosiya, “Mwana gwenga, ashi gututenda ntambu ayi? Neni na tati gwaku tuweriti twankulishera patukusakula.”
And seeing Him they were astonished, and His mother said to Him; Child, why did you thus do unto us? Behold, thy father and I were seeking thee, sorrowful.
49 Yesu kawankula, “Ntambu gaa mwankunsakula? Muvimana ndiri handa nfiruwa nulikali mnumba mwa Tati gwangu?”
And He said to them, Why were you seeking after me? Did you not know that it behooved me to be in the affairs of my Father?
50 Kumbiti tati na mawu gwakuwi wavimana ndiri vyakawankuliti.
And they did not understand the word which He spoke unto them.
51 Yesu pakawuyiti pamuhera na mawu na tati gwakuwi Kunazareti, kendereyiti kuwajimira. Mawu gwakuwi kendeleyiti kulihola mmoyu mwakuwi.
And He went down with them and came to Nazareth; and was subject unto them. And His mother continued to keep all these words in her heart.
52 Yesu kendereyiti kukula munshimba pamuhera na luhala na kumfiliziya Mlungu pamuhera na wantu.
And Jesus continued to grow in wisdom and stature and favor with God and men.
