Luka 2
1 Enku zila endajizyo zyafumile hwa Kaisari Agusto ya je esimbwe eye matawa aga bhantu wonti mnsi.
In those days Augustus Caesar issued an edict for a census of the whole inhabited world.
2 Hii ilikuwa ene ebabhe ya hwande yehasimbwilwe epo Krenio nali liwali wa hushamu.
This was the first census, When Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Abhantu wonti bhabhalile ahwinsimbisizye shila muntu amwao.
And every one went to be registered, each to the town to which he belonged.
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 if Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David.
5 Ili asimbwe pandwemo no Mariamu, ushe wakwe bhapabhiliye wape ano lwanda.
He went to be registered along with Mary, who was espoused to him, and was pregnant.
6 Shabha katika akhale ohwo ensiku zyakwe ezya pape zya fishile.
But while they were there the days were fulfilled for her delivery.
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 son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, 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 in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
9 Umalaika wa GOSI abhafumiye, nanali uzelu wa GOSI wabhakhozizye epande zyonti, bhinjilwa nowoga ogosi.
When suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they feared with a great fear. The angel said to them.
10 Umalaika abhabholele, “Mganje ahigope, afanaje ane embaletela enongwa enyinza eya she engosi yayayibho hwabantu wonti.
"Have no fear, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.
11 Eshe sanyono mnsi eya Daudi! apepwe kwa jili eyahulimwe uwataule wape yu Kristo GOSO!
"For unto you born this day in there is born in David’s town a Saviour, who is the Anointed Lord.
12 Na ene ndiyo ndago hwilimwe, mbhahu mwaje umwa umwela bhavwenesyezye amenda ageshiwela agonile mwitori mwelela eng'ombe.
"And this is a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes lying in a manger."
13 Nantele bhahali pandwemo nayo omalaika abhinji ajeshi abhamwanya bhahutelela ONGOLOBHE, na ya je,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly army praising God and saying,
14 “Ayemehwaje ONGOLOBHE amwanya, na pansi ehwe amani hwabhantu bhabhagalile.”
"Glory to God in the highest, And in earth peace among men who please him"
15 Shabha, omalaika ebho na bhasogola abhule hwabho amwanya bhala udimi bhabholene, “Eshe sali mpaka Bethlehemu, tilirole elwo lwali bhombeshe lyati bhonezyezye ONGOLOBHE.”
Now when the angels had left them, and gone away to heaven, the shepherds said to one to another, "Let us go now even to Bethlehem, and see this saying which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."
16 Bhabhalile nanali, bhamwanjile oMariamu no Yusufu, nola umwana umwela agonile mwitori.
so they made haste, and came and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
17 Na walipomwona bhafumizye enongwa yabhabholelwe afwatone nomwana oyo.
When they had seen, they made known about the words which had been spoken to them concerning the child.
18 Wonti bhabhahovwezye bhaswijile hwago gabhobholelwe na dimi.
And all who heard it were astonished at the things which were told to them by the shepherds.
19 Lelo o Mariamu wazibhaha humwoyo gwakwe.
But Mary treasured up all those words, Often pondering on on them in her heart.
20 Bhala adimi bhawelile ohu bhahusomba ONGOLOBHE na hutelile humombo gonti gabhovwezye na galale eshe shabhabholelwe.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying God and praising him for all those things that they had seen and heard, even as it was told to them.
21 Hata nazyafishele ensiku nana ezya hutahiri ahetelwe tawa lwakwe Yesu, neshe nahetelwe no malaika sasele abhe lwanda.
When eight days had passed, and the time had come to circumcise him, he was called Jesus, the name given him by the angel before his conception in the womb.
22 Alafu nazyafishele ensiku hwabho, neshe sheri endogo ya anusa bhabhalile nao mpaka Yerusalemu bhabheshele OGOSI.
And when the days for purification according to the law of Moses had passed, they took him up 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 Moses, Every firstborn male shall be called holy to the Lord.
24 Bhafumye sadaka neshe sheyajile katika endogo eya GOSI, “Enko nda bhabhele au makind abhenjebha bhabhele.”
And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded 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.
Now there was in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon. He was righteous and devout, and was waiting for the consolation of Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 Yali imalishe abhoneshewe hwakwe ahilile hupepo uzelu aje umwahale saga ehenzaga afwe bila hulole Kristi wa GOSI.
Now it has been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should 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,
And he came into the Temple, led by the Spirit. and when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
28 Eshi o Simioni aposheye mmakhono gakwe na hulimbe ONGOLOBHE na yanje,
he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
29 “Eshi nduhusu nemtumwa waho embale mshinza alengane nizu lyaho.
"Now lettest thou thy slave depart, O Master; according to thy word in peace,
30 Afwatanaje amaso gane gahalile uwaule waho,
"Because my eyes had seen the salvation,
31 Afwanaje uonesha humaso gabhantu bhonti.
"Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 Umwahale rukhozyo mataifa na bhe zelu wabhantu bhakwe Israeli.”
"A light for the unveiling of the Gentiles And the glory of thy people Israel."
33 UYise nonyine wakwe bhali bhaswiga ego gagayangwilwe juu yakwe.
And while his father and mother were marveling at the words that were spoken concerning him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother.
34 OSimoni wabhasaila abhabhola Mariamu unyina wakwe, “Eye ono abhehwelwe wagwe na bhoshe abhinji bhabali kati Israeli na bhe mbonesyo zyazya yiyangwa.
"Behold this child is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 Nawe hwehwe imaje lwaijila humwoyo gwaho ilizibhoneshe esebho ezya moyo aga bhinji.”
Yea, and a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, that the thoughts out 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,
There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in age, having lived with her husband seven years, after her girlhood,
37 Wape fwele owemaha amarongo nane na mahaganne. Sasogolo mwibhanza ila aputa usiku no sanya na funje na labhe.
and then being a widow even for fourscore and four years. She departed not from the temple, but worshiped with the fasting and prayer, night and day.
38 Oyo afumele sala yeyo asalifizye ONGOLOBHE. Na wonti bhali bhahwenyelezya eshahwaulwe katika Yerusalemu abhafumizyo enongwa zyakwe.
She came up at that very hour, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 Basi nabhamala gonti gagalajiziwe aga mndongozi eya GOSi, bhahwelile hu Galilaya, mpaka iboma lwao, Nazareti.
As soon as all that the law required had been done, they returned to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.
40 Ola umwana wakula, na hwonjele amahaa amemile enshinshi, na neema ya NGOLOBHE yali juu yakwe.
And the child grew and became strong, becoming full of wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Basi ayise bhakwe bhabhala hu Yerusalemu shila mwaha uwakati uweshikurukuru ya Pasaka.
Now his parents were accustomed to go up to Jerusalem every year at 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, as was customary, at the time of the feast
43 Nabhamalila ensiku wakati uwahwele hwabhoola umwana uYesu asageye hwisaro ohwo hu Yerusalemu na bhayise bhakwe sebhalolene.
After spending the full number of days they started home, but the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know this,
44 Bhape bhamenyeje bhalipandwemo mshora, bhabhalile enjendo uwisiku lyonti bhanda humwanza mwa mwabho.
but supposed that he was in the company, and went a days journey. Then they hunted for him among his kinsfolk and acquaintance;
45 Nu sebhamwanga bhahwelile hu Yerusalemu ohu bhahumwanza.
and when they did not find him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for him.
46 Yabha na zyafiha ensiku zitatu, bhalola mwibhinza, akheye pahati ya manyizi, abhatejelezya nabhabhozye amaswali.
On the third day they found him sitting in the Temple, among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking questions.
47 Wape wonti bhabhamwovwaga bhanswijile uwelewa wakwe na amajibu gakwe.
All that heard him were amazed 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 they saw him they were astonished, and his mother said to him "Child, why have you treated us so? Behold your father and I have been looking for you in anguish."
49 Wabhabhola, “Yenu mnanza sagamwamenye aje ehwanziwa akhale munyumba eya yise wane?
He answered, "Why is it that you have been looking for me, did you not realize that I had to be in my Father’s house?"
50 Unape sebhalyelewe izu elyo lyabha bhozezye.
But they did not understand the words that he spoke to them.
51 Hwiho pandwemo nabho mpaka hu Nazareti wape ali abeshimu, onyina agabheshele ego gonti humwoyo gwakwe.
Then he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was always obedient to them. But his mother kept treasuring up all these incidents in her hearts.
52 Wape uYesu wazidi ahwonjelele katika hekima kimo, wapendezya ONGOLOBHE na bhantu.
And Jesus was ever advancing in wisdom and in status and in favor with God and man.
