Luka 2
1 Majuwa galii, Kaisari Agustinu mfalumi gwa Rumi kabweriti kulagalira, wantu woseri wa Iushi loseri la Rumi wawalangwi.
And in those days it occurred, that a decree went forth from Augustus Caesar, that all the people of his dominion should be enrolled.
2 Kuwawalanga aku ndo kuweriti kwa kwanja shipindi Kureniu pakaweriti mkulu gwa mukowa gwa Siriya.
And this enrollment was first made under the presidency of Quirinus in Syria.
3 Su kila muntu kagenditi kulembwa litawu lyakuwi muisi mwakuwi.
And everyone went to his own city to be enrolled.
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 Nazareth of Galilee to Judaea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
5 Kagenditi kulii wakalembwi pamuhera na Mariya muheta gwakuwi, yakaweriti na yinda.
with Mary his espoused, then pregnant, to be enrolled.
6 Pawaweriti kulii Betirehemu, shipindi sha Mariya sha kwiwura mwana shisokiti.
And it was while they were there, that the days for her to bring forth were completed.
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 wrapped him in bandages, and laid him in the stall; for they had no place where they could lodge.
8 Kuweriti na walolera wa mifugu, yawaweriti kuntundu pashiru wankulolera mifugu yawu.
And there were shepherds in that region, who abode there and kept watch of their flocks by night.
9 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kawalawariti walolera wa mifugu na ukwisa wa Mtuwa guwalangaziya. Womberi watiliti nentu,
And lo, the angel of God came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone upon 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 announce to you great joy, which will be to all the world.
11 Leru muisi ya Mfalumi Dawudi kiwuka Mlopoziya gwenu. Mweni ayu ndo Kristu Mtuwa!
For there is born to you this day a deliverer, who is the Lord Messiah, 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 is the sign for you: Ye will find the babe wrapped in bandages, and placed in a stall.
13 Palaa palii wantumintumi wamonga wa kumpindi wavuwa nentu, waliwoniti pamuhera wamkwisiti Mlungu, pawalonga,
And instantly there were seen with the angel, the many hosts of heaven, 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 heavens, and on earth peace and good hope for 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 was so, that when the angels had gone from them into heaven, the shepherds conferred with one another, and said: Let us go down to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath occurred, as the Lord hath made known to us.
16 Su wawuka wagenda kanongola, pawasokiti palii wawawona Mariya na Yosefu na nonu ulii wamgonjeka muliboma la wang'ombi.
And they came hastily, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe laid in the stall.
17 Walolera wa mifugu pawamwoniti kala nonu ulii, su wanja kutakula ntambu yawapikaniriti kulawa kwa ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kuusu nonu ayu.
And when they saw, they made known the information which was given to them concerning the child.
18 Muntu yoseri yakapikaniriti hangu kashyeniti visoweru vyawatakuliti walolera wa mifugu.
And all that heard, wondered at the things that were told them by the shepherds.
19 Mariya kavituliti vintu vyoseri avi mumoyu mwakuwi na kavihola mana yakuwi.
And Mary laid up all these things, and pondered them 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 that they had seen and heard, as it was told 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 for the circumcision of the child were completed, his name was called JESUS; as he was named 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 completed, according to the law of Moses, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him before the Lord:
23 ntambu yayilembitwi mumalagaliru ga Mtuwa, “Kila mwana gwa kwanja mpalu kafiruwa kutulwa kaweri mnanagala kwa Mtuwa.”
(as it is 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 as it is 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 there was a certain man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon. This man was upright and just, and was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 na Rohu Mnanagala kamgambiriti kala Simiyoni kulonga hapeni kahowi mpaka kamwoni Kristu yakasyagulitwi na Mtuwa.
And it had been told him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death, until he should see the Messiah 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,
This man came, by the Spirit, into the temple; and when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him as is commanded in the law,
28 Simiyoni kamwanka mwana mumawoku mwakuwi na kamkwisa Mlungu pakalonga,
he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 “Vinu Mtuwa guweza kumlekeziya ntumintumi gwaku kagendi kwa ponga, toziya gugatimiza galii gagulagaliriti.
My Lord, now release thou thy servant in peace, as thou hast said:
30 Masu gangu gawona ulopoziya waku,
for lo, my eyes have seen thy mercy,
31 wawutandiritwi palongolu pa wantu woseri.
which thou hast prepared in the presence of all nations,
32 Ulangala hawuwalangaziyi njira wantu wawawera ndiri Wayawudi na hawujegi ukwisa kwa wantu waku Israeli.”
a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and a glory for thy people Israel.
33 Tati na mawu gwa mwana walikangashiti nentu ntambu yakatakuliti Simiyoni kuusu mwana gwawu.
And Joseph and his mother were astonished at those things which were 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, this child is set forth for the fall and for the rising of many in Israel, and for a standard of contention;
35 na virii vyawalihola wantu mumyoyu mwawu ndo havimaniki. Na gwenga Mariya utama hawuweri gambira mgoha gwagusongoka, haguwusomi moyu gwaku.”
(and also a dart will pierce thy own soul); that the thoughts of the hearts of many may be disclosed.
36 Palii kuweriti na mdala mbuyi gwa Mlungu, litawu lyakuwi Ana, mwana gwa Fanueli gwa likabila la Asheri.
And Hanna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she also was aged in days, and, from her maidenhood, had lived seven years with her husband,
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 was a widow of about eighty and four years, and departed not from the temple, but worshipped by day and by night with fasting and prayer;
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 too stood up, in that hour, and gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to every one that waited for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 Maliya na Yosefu pawatenditi kala vyoseri ntambu yanfiruwitwi mulilagaliru ga Mtuwa, su wawuyiti ukaya kwawu Nazareti muisi ya Galilaya.
And when they had accomplished all things, according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city Nazareth.
40 Mwana kakula kawera na makakala, su kawera na luhala na Mlungu kamtekelera.
And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and was filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Kila mvinja mawu na tati gwa Yesu wagendaga Yerusalemu mumsambu gwa Pasaka.
And his people went up to Jerusalem every year, 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 went up to the feast, as they were accustomed.
43 Paguperiti kala msambu gwa Pasaka, wanjiti mwanja gwa kuwuya ukaya, kumbiti Yesu kasigaliti kulaa Kuyerusalemu pota mawu na tati gwakuwi kuvimana.
And when the days were completed, they returned: but the child Jesus remained at Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother knew not of it;
44 Womberi wavimana Yesu kapamuhera na wantu wa mwanja, wagendagenda lishaka lyoseri, shakapanu wanja kumsakula mwa walongu na waganja wawu.
for they supposed he was with his companions. And when they had travelled a day's journey, they sought him among their people, and inquired of every one that knew them.
45 Wamwona ndiri, su wawuyiti Yerusalemu pawamsakula.
And they did not find him. And they returned again to Jerusalem, searching for him.
46 Lishaka lya tatu wamwoniti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kalikaliti pamuhera na wafunda wa Mayawudi, kaweriti pakawapikinira na kuwakosiya.
And after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, and listening to them, and asking them questions.
47 Woseri pawampikaniriti vyakatakula, waweriti wankulikangasha ntambu yakeniti mahala na ntambu yakankuliti kwa luhala.
And all they that heard him, were astonished at his wisdom and his 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 when they saw him they were amazed. And his mother said to him: My son, why hast thou done so to us? For lo, I and thy father have been seeking for thee with great anxiety.
49 Yesu kawankula, “Ntambu gaa mwankunsakula? Muvimana ndiri handa nfiruwa nulikali mnumba mwa Tati gwangu?”
He said to them: Why did ye seek me? Do ye not know, that it behooveth me to be in my Father's house?
50 Kumbiti tati na mawu gwakuwi wavimana ndiri vyakawankuliti.
But they did not comprehend the word that he spoke to 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 obedient to them. And his mother laid up all these things in her heart.
52 Yesu kendereyiti kukula munshimba pamuhera na luhala na kumfiliziya Mlungu pamuhera na wantu.
And Jesus increased in stature, and in wisdom, and in grace, before God and men.
