1 Enku zila endajizyo zyafumile hwa Kaisari Agusto ya je esimbwe eye matawa aga bhantu wonti mnsi.
It came to pass in those days, a decree went out from Augustus Caesar, to enroll all the world.
2 Hii ilikuwa ene ebabhe ya hwande yehasimbwilwe epo Krenio nali liwali wa hushamu.
This was the first enrollment, Cyrenius being governor of Syria.
3 Abhantu wonti bhabhalile ahwinsimbisizye shila muntu amwao.
And all were going forth to enroll, each one into his own city.
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.
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 Ili asimbwe pandwemo no Mariamu, ushe wakwe bhapabhiliye wape ano lwanda.

7 Wapapa umwana wakwe uwahwande, wavwenesya amenda agubha na wagonia mwitori mwanzilela eng'ombe, afwanaje sebhapete enafsi munyumba ezya jenyi.
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 Na ensi yeyela, bhahali adimi bhakhalaga mwipoli na linde ikundi lwao bhatandilunaga nosiku.
And the shepherds were in that country, tenting out and keeping guard over their flock by night.
9 Umalaika wa GOSI abhafumiye, nanali uzelu wa GOSI wabhakhozizye epande zyonti, bhinjilwa nowoga ogosi.
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 Umalaika abhabholele, “Mganje ahigope, afanaje ane embaletela enongwa enyinza eya she engosi yayayibho hwabantu wonti.
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 Eshe sanyono mnsi eya Daudi! apepwe kwa jili eyahulimwe uwataule wape yu Kristo GOSO!
because this day a Savior is born unto you, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
12 Na ene ndiyo ndago hwilimwe, mbhahu mwaje umwa umwela bhavwenesyezye amenda ageshiwela agonile mwitori mwelela eng'ombe.
And this shall be the sign unto you; you shall find an infant lying in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes.
13 Nantele bhahali pandwemo nayo omalaika abhinji ajeshi abhamwanya bhahutelela ONGOLOBHE, na ya je,
And immediately a multitude of the heavenly host was with the angel, praising God and saying;
14 “Ayemehwaje ONGOLOBHE amwanya, na pansi ehwe amani hwabhantu bhabhagalile.”
Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth; good will among men.
15 Shabha, omalaika ebho na bhasogola abhule hwabho amwanya bhala udimi bhabholene, “Eshe sali mpaka Bethlehemu, tilirole elwo lwali bhombeshe lyati bhonezyezye ONGOLOBHE.”
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 Bhabhalile nanali, bhamwanjile oMariamu no Yusufu, nola umwana umwela agonile mwitori.
They went making haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
17 Na walipomwona bhafumizye enongwa yabhabholelwe afwatone nomwana oyo.
And seeing, they made known concerning the word which was spoken to them about this little child.
18 Wonti bhabhahovwezye bhaswijile hwago gabhobholelwe na dimi.
And all hearing wondered concerning the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 Lelo o Mariamu wazibhaha humwoyo gwakwe.
And Mary kept all these words laying them up in her heart.

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all things which they heard and saw, as it was spoken to them.
21 Hata nazyafishele ensiku nana ezya hutahiri ahetelwe tawa lwakwe Yesu, neshe nahetelwe no malaika sasele abhe lwanda.
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 Alafu nazyafishele ensiku hwabho, neshe sheri endogo ya anusa bhabhalile nao mpaka Yerusalemu bhabheshele OGOSI.
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 Neshe nshesibwilwe mdogo ya GOSI, “Shila mwana ulume wali lwanda ulwahwanda hwanyinawakwe akwiziwaje Golosu wa GOSI.”
as it was written in the law of the Lord; That every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;
24 Bhafumye sadaka neshe sheyajile katika endogo eya GOSI, “Enko nda bhabhele au makind abhenjebha bhabhele.”
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 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.
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 Yali imalishe abhoneshewe hwakwe ahilile hupepo uzelu aje umwahale saga ehenzaga afwe bila hulole Kristi wa GOSI.
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 Isikulimo ahenzele mhatimwibhaiza alongozehwe no pepo uzelu. ambapo ayise bhakwe bhaletile umwana oYesu hubhombele gala gagahanziwuga mkawaida eye ndogo,
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 Eshi o Simioni aposheye mmakhono gakwe na hulimbe ONGOLOBHE na yanje,
he received Him into his arms and blessed God and said;
29 “Eshi nduhusu nemtumwa waho embale mshinza alengane nizu lyaho.
Now, O Lord, thou art letting thy servant depart, in peace according to thy word;
30 Afwatanaje amaso gane gahalile uwaule waho,
because mine eyes saw thy salvation,
31 Afwanaje uonesha humaso gabhantu bhonti.
which thou didst prepare before the face of all peoples;
32 Umwahale rukhozyo mataifa na bhe zelu wabhantu bhakwe Israeli.”

34 OSimoni wabhasaila abhabhola Mariamu unyina wakwe, “Eye ono abhehwelwe wagwe na bhoshe abhinji bhabali kati Israeli na bhe mbonesyo zyazya yiyangwa.
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 Nawe hwehwe imaje lwaijila humwoyo gwaho ilizibhoneshe esebho ezya moyo aga bhinji.”
and a sword shall go through thy soul, in order that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed.
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,
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 Wape fwele owemaha amarongo nane na mahaganne. Sasogolo mwibhanza ila aputa usiku no sanya na funje na labhe.
and she a widow of about fourscore years, who did not depart from the temple, worshiping night and day with fastings and prayers.
38 Oyo afumele sala yeyo asalifizye ONGOLOBHE. Na wonti bhali bhahwenyelezya eshahwaulwe katika Yerusalemu abhafumizyo enongwa zyakwe.
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.

And when they finished all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee into their own city Nazareth.

44 Bhape bhamenyeje bhalipandwemo mshora, bhabhalile enjendo uwisiku lyonti bhanda humwanza mwa mwabho.
And thinking that He is in the crowd, they came a day's journey, and were seeking Him among His relatives and acquaintances.
45 Nu sebhamwanga bhahwelile hu Yerusalemu ohu bhahumwanza.
And not having found Him; they returned to Jerusalem seeking Him.
46 Yabha na zyafiha ensiku zitatu, bhalola mwibhinza, akheye pahati ya manyizi, abhatejelezya nabhabhozye amaswali.

And all hearing Him were astonished at His wisdom and answers.

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 Wabhabhola, “Yenu mnanza sagamwamenye aje ehwanziwa akhale munyumba eya yise wane?
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?
