Luka 2
1 Enku zila endajizyo zyafumile hwa Kaisari Agusto ya je esimbwe eye matawa aga bhantu wonti mnsi.
Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.
2 Hii ilikuwa ene ebabhe ya hwande yehasimbwilwe epo Krenio nali liwali wa hushamu.
This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Abhantu wonti bhabhalile ahwinsimbisizye shila muntu amwao.
And everyone went to his own town to register.
4 UYusufu wape asogoye hu galilaya afume hushijiji sha hu Nazareti azubhile abhale huu Yudea hadi humji ugwa Daudi, gukwiziwa Bethelehemu, afwatanaje umwahale wahutayari namwao abhahwa Daudi.
So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David.
5 Ili asimbwe pandwemo no Mariamu, ushe wakwe bhapabhiliye wape ano lwanda.
He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.
6 Shabha katika akhale ohwo ensiku zyakwe ezya pape zya fishile.
While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.
7 Wapapa umwana wakwe uwahwande, wavwenesya amenda agubha na wagonia mwitori mwanzilela eng'ombe, afwanaje sebhapete enafsi munyumba ezya jenyi.
And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Na ensi yeyela, bhahali adimi bhakhalaga mwipoli na linde ikundi lwao bhatandilunaga nosiku.
And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
9 Umalaika wa GOSI abhafumiye, nanali uzelu wa GOSI wabhakhozizye epande zyonti, bhinjilwa nowoga ogosi.
Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 Umalaika abhabholele, “Mganje ahigope, afanaje ane embaletela enongwa enyinza eya she engosi yayayibho hwabantu wonti.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:
11 Eshe sanyono mnsi eya Daudi! apepwe kwa jili eyahulimwe uwataule wape yu Kristo GOSO!
Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
12 Na ene ndiyo ndago hwilimwe, mbhahu mwaje umwa umwela bhavwenesyezye amenda ageshiwela agonile mwitori mwelela eng'ombe.
And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Nantele bhahali pandwemo nayo omalaika abhinji ajeshi abhamwanya bhahutelela ONGOLOBHE, na ya je,
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:
14 “Ayemehwaje ONGOLOBHE amwanya, na pansi ehwe amani hwabhantu bhabhagalile.”
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
15 Shabha, omalaika ebho na bhasogola abhule hwabho amwanya bhala udimi bhabholene, “Eshe sali mpaka Bethlehemu, tilirole elwo lwali bhombeshe lyati bhonezyezye ONGOLOBHE.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 Bhabhalile nanali, bhamwanjile oMariamu no Yusufu, nola umwana umwela agonile mwitori.
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.
17 Na walipomwona bhafumizye enongwa yabhabholelwe afwatone nomwana oyo.
After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.
18 Wonti bhabhahovwezye bhaswijile hwago gabhobholelwe na dimi.
And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
19 Lelo o Mariamu wazibhaha humwoyo gwakwe.
But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
20 Bhala adimi bhawelile ohu bhahusomba ONGOLOBHE na hutelile humombo gonti gabhovwezye na galale eshe shabhabholelwe.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
21 Hata nazyafishele ensiku nana ezya hutahiri ahetelwe tawa lwakwe Yesu, neshe nahetelwe no malaika sasele abhe lwanda.
When the eight days until His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He had been conceived.
22 Alafu nazyafishele ensiku hwabho, neshe sheri endogo ya anusa bhabhalile nao mpaka Yerusalemu bhabheshele OGOSI.
And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
23 Neshe nshesibwilwe mdogo ya GOSI, “Shila mwana ulume wali lwanda ulwahwanda hwanyinawakwe akwiziwaje Golosu wa GOSI.”
(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),
24 Bhafumye sadaka neshe sheyajile katika endogo eya GOSI, “Enko nda bhabhele au makind abhenjebha bhabhele.”
and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25 Enya, pala payerusalemu palinomntu itawa lyakwe akwiziwaga Simoni. Umuntu ono alihwelyoli na humpute ONGOLOBHE. Umwahole agolaga ya zizya wa Israeli, na upepo uzelu ali pamwana yakwe.
Now 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 Yali imalishe abhoneshewe hwakwe ahilile hupepo uzelu aje umwahale saga ehenzaga afwe bila hulole Kristi wa GOSI.
The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Isikulimo ahenzele mhatimwibhaiza alongozehwe no pepo uzelu. ambapo ayise bhakwe bhaletile umwana oYesu hubhombele gala gagahanziwuga mkawaida eye ndogo,
Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,
28 Eshi o Simioni aposheye mmakhono gakwe na hulimbe ONGOLOBHE na yanje,
Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
29 “Eshi nduhusu nemtumwa waho embale mshinza alengane nizu lyaho.
“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
30 Afwatanaje amaso gane gahalile uwaule waho,
For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
31 Afwanaje uonesha humaso gabhantu bhonti.
which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
32 Umwahale rukhozyo mataifa na bhe zelu wabhantu bhakwe Israeli.”
a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
33 UYise nonyine wakwe bhali bhaswiga ego gagayangwilwe juu yakwe.
The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
34 OSimoni wabhasaila abhabhola Mariamu unyina wakwe, “Eye ono abhehwelwe wagwe na bhoshe abhinji bhabali kati Israeli na bhe mbonesyo zyazya yiyangwa.
Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,
35 Nawe hwehwe imaje lwaijila humwoyo gwaho ilizibhoneshe esebho ezya moyo aga bhinji.”
so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
36 Ahali ukuwa ushe itawa lyakwe Ana uledu wa Fanueli wa shikholo sha Asheri. Nu umri wakwe alina maha minji. Akheye nolume amaha saba baada eyelendu wakwe,
There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,
37 Wape fwele owemaha amarongo nane na mahaganne. Sasogolo mwibhanza ila aputa usiku no sanya na funje na labhe.
and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
38 Oyo afumele sala yeyo asalifizye ONGOLOBHE. Na wonti bhali bhahwenyelezya eshahwaulwe katika Yerusalemu abhafumizyo enongwa zyakwe.
Coming forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 Basi nabhamala gonti gagalajiziwe aga mndongozi eya GOSi, bhahwelile hu Galilaya, mpaka iboma lwao, Nazareti.
When Jesus’ parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
40 Ola umwana wakula, na hwonjele amahaa amemile enshinshi, na neema ya NGOLOBHE yali juu yakwe.
And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
41 Basi ayise bhakwe bhabhala hu Yerusalemu shila mwaha uwakati uweshikurukuru ya Pasaka.
Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
42 Na fishiye umri wakwe amaha kumi na gabhle bhazubhile neshe sheli emila eye shikurukuru.
And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.
43 Nabhamalila ensiku wakati uwahwele hwabhoola umwana uYesu asageye hwisaro ohwo hu Yerusalemu na bhayise bhakwe sebhalolene.
When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed.
44 Bhape bhamenyeje bhalipandwemo mshora, bhabhalile enjendo uwisiku lyonti bhanda humwanza mwa mwabho.
Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.
45 Nu sebhamwanga bhahwelile hu Yerusalemu ohu bhahumwanza.
When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.
46 Yabha na zyafiha ensiku zitatu, bhalola mwibhinza, akheye pahati ya manyizi, abhatejelezya nabhabhozye amaswali.
Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47 Wape wonti bhabhamwovwaga bhanswijile uwelewa wakwe na amajibu gakwe.
And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.
48 Na bhalolile, bhanswijile. Nonyina wakwe wabhola, “Mwana wane, mbone otibhombeye eshi? enye, uyise waho nane talili humwanza uzugumie”
When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”
49 Wabhabhola, “Yenu mnanza sagamwamenye aje ehwanziwa akhale munyumba eya yise wane?
“Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”
50 Unape sebhalyelewe izu elyo lyabha bhozezye.
But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.
51 Hwiho pandwemo nabho mpaka hu Nazareti wape ali abeshimu, onyina agabheshele ego gonti humwoyo gwakwe.
Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
52 Wape uYesu wazidi ahwonjelele katika hekima kimo, wapendezya ONGOLOBHE na bhantu.
And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
