Luuka 2
1 lino mu fighono ifyo, jilyahumile kuuti, uKaisali Agusito akahumisie ululaghilo kuuti, vatole uluvalilo lwa vaanhu vooni vanovikukala mu iisi.
AND it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2 ulu lulyale lwe luvalilo lwa kwanda luno lulyavombike unsiki ghuno uKileoli alyale m'baha gha Silia.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 neke umuunhu ghweni akaluta kumpulo ghake kukulembekesia uluvalulo.
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 ghwope uYosefu alyavukile mu mpulo ghwa Nasaleti ukuo ku Galilaya na kukyulalila ku Yudea ku mpulo ghwa Betelemu, ghuno ghukagulika hwene mpulo ghwa Davidi, ulwakuva jikahumile mu lukolo lwa Davidi.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David: )
5 akaluta kula na kujilembekesia nu Maliya, juno alyale antuunile kange alyale ihuvila umwana.
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 lino jilyahumile kuuti, ye valyale kula unsiki ughwa kuhola ghukafika.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 akahola umwana un'dimi, umuholua ghwake ughwa kwanda, akamun'yengelela umwana namenda neke kunsigha ni mhepo. pe akam'bika mikivagha kya kulisikisia ifidimua, ulwakuva napwelukale ulubale lwa kum'bika mu numba ja vaghesi.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 ku lubale uluo kwevalyale avalongosi vano valyale vikukala mu maghunda kulolelela amapugha gha ng'olo ave pakilo.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 kukenyemukila unyaMhola va Mutwa akavahumila nu vwimike va Mutwa vulyang'alile kuvasyungutila, pe valyale nu vwoghofi kyongo.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 pepano unyaMhola akavavula, “namungoghopaghe, ulwakuva nikuvapela iMhola inofu isa lukelo uluvahaku vaanhu vooni.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 umusyughu umpoki ghwinu aholilue vwimila jinu mu mpulo gha Davidi! umwene ghwe Kilisite Mutwa!
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 iki kye kivalilo kino mupelua, mukumwagha umwana vampinyile umwenda aghonile mu luvagha lwa kulisikisia ifidimua.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 kukenyemukila kukava ni lipugha livaha lwa va sikali kuhuma kukyanya likalungine nunyaMhola ujuo kukumughinia uNguluve vakatisagha,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 “uvutwa vwa nguluve juno ali kukyanya fiijo nu lutengano luve mu iisi ku vaanhu voni vano anoghilue navo.”
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 lulyale kuuti avanyaMhola ye vavukile na luluta kukyanya, avalongosi vakajofesania vavuo ku vavuo, “tuvuke lino ku Betelemu kula tukalole kiki kino kihumile, kino uMutwa atumanyisie'.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 vakaluta ng'hani ng'hani kula, neke vakamwagha uMaliya nu Yosefu, kange vakamwagha umwana aghonile mu luvagha lwa kulisikisia ifidimua.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 ye vavwene ndiki, vakavamanyisia avaanhu vala vano vakavulilue imhola sa mwana ghwa muunhu
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 voni vakadegha ye vapulike imhola isi ni kila kuno kikajovilue vadalikili.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 neke uMaliya akaghendelela kusagha soni sino alyapulike, akaghavika mu mwoojo ghwake.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 avadalikili vakagomoka na kumwimika na kumpaala uNguluve wimila umuunhu ghweni kukino valyapulike na kukukyagha, ndavule jilyajovilue kuveene.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 kyati kifikile ikighono kya lekela kwoni ghulyale ghwe nsiki ghwa kun'dumula umwana, vakankemela ilitavua ghwe Yesu; ilitavua lino alyapelilue nu nyaMhola jula ye na vuvukunue vukyale kutungwa mu lileme.
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 kuling'ana ni ndaghilo ja Moose, uYosefu nu Maliya akantwala kunyumba inyimike ja kufunyila ku Yelusalemu na kum'bika pavulongolo pa Mutwa.
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
23 ndavule jilyalembilue mu ndaghilo ja Mutwa. “umukinhaata ghweni juno idindula ilileme ilikemelua juno avusikisivue uvuvaha kwa Mutwa”.
(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
24 vope vulevule vakisile kuhumia ilitekelo kuling'hana na kila kinokijovua ku ndaghilo ja Mutwa,” vahumyaghe injiva ivili nambe inyaana ivili isa ng'unda”.
And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25 lola, palyaale nu muunhu ku Yelusalemu juno ilitavua lyake ikemelua ghwe Simoni. umuunhu uju alyale nya kyang'haani na kumwitika uNguluve. umwene alyale idalikila vwimila umuhuvilua ghwa Isilaeli, nu uMhepo uMwimike alyale nkyanya ja mwene.
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 jilyavonike kwa mwene kukilila uMhepo uMwimike kuuti umwene naale ifua ye akyale kumwagha uKilisite ghwa Mutwa.
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 ikighono kimonga akingile mu nyumba inyimike ja H, akalongosivue nu Mhepo umwimike. pano avapafi vakamuletile umwana, uYesu ikum'bombela sino simunoghile jaatu mu ndaghilo,
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28 pepano uSimoni akamwupila mu mavoko ghake na kumpaala uNguluve na kuuti,
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 “lino nikum'bula untemi ghwako alute nu lutengano lwa Mutwa, kuling'hana ni lisio lyako.
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 ulwakuva amaaso ghango ghavuvwene uvupoki vwako,
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 vuno vuvonike ku vaanhu voni.
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 umwene ghwe lumuli vwimila uvusyetulilo vwa iisi nu vwimike vwa vaanhu va Isilaeli.
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 ubaba nu mama va mwana vakadegha ku sino sijovua kwa mwana ghwa vanave.
And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
34 pepano uSimoni akavafunyila na akati kwa Maliya ung'ina ghwa mwene, “pulikisia vonono! umwana uju iiva vufumbue kwa kusova nambe kukwitika ku vaanhu vinga va ku Isilaeli kane ke kivalilo kino avaanhu vinga vilikujikana.
And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35 kange lwe lubamba lunolulinyanya umwoojo ghako juve, neke kuuti amasaghe gha moojo gha vinga ghavoneke”
(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 un'dala um'bili juno akemeluagha Ana kwealyale kunyumba inyimike ja kufunyila. umwene alyale mwalive gha Fanueli kuhuma kulukolo lwa Asheli. alyale na maka minga kyongo. akikala nu mughosi ghwake ku maka lekela lubale ye vatoline,
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 pepano akava mfwile ku maka fijigho lekela kwaoni na ghaane. nakaghelile kuvuka mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila alyale ighendelela kudinda na kunsuuma uNguluve pakilo na pamwisi.
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 nu nsiki ughuo, akisa pala panovalyale akatengula kumuhongesia uNguluve. akajova isa vaanha vooni vano vaghulagha uvupoki vwa Yelusalemu.
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 ye vamalile avaanhu voni vakanoghile kuvomba kuling'ana ni ndaghilo ja Mutwa, vakagomoka ku Galilaya umpulo ghwave, Nasaleti.
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 umwana akakula, akava ni ngufu akongelela mu vukoola, nu vumosi vwa Nguluve vulyale pa kyanya jake.
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 avapafi vake amaka ghoni vakalutagha ku Yelusalemu vwimila ikikulukulu kya Pasaka.
Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 ya ale na maka kijigho na ghavili, kange vakisile mu nsiki ghuno ghunoghile ndavule uvutavike vwa kikulukulu.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 ye vajighe ifighono fyoni vwimila ikikulukulu vakatengula kugomoka kunyumba. neke un'dimi u Yesu akajighe kunsana ku Yelusalemu kisila avapafi vake kukagula ili.
And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 vakasaghile kuuti valilumo mulipugha lya vano vakyulagha lumo, pe vakakyula ulukyusi lwa kighino pepano vakatengula kukumulonda mu vanyalukolo na vamanyani vave.
But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 ye vakunilue kumwagha, vakagomoka kuYelusalemu na kutengula kumulonda umuo.
And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 jilyahumile kuuti mu fighono fitatu valamwagha mu nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila, akkali pakate pa vavulanisi akavapulikisia na kukuvaposia.
And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 voni vano vale vikumpulikisia vakadegha ku vukagusi vwake nu lwamulo lwake.
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 vati vamwaghile, vakadegha ung'iina akam'bula, “mwanago kiki utuvombile ndiki? pulikisia une nu baba ghwako tulya tukulonda ku vwoghofi uvukome”.
And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 akavaposia, “kiki mulyale mukunilonda? namukakagwile kuuti lunoghile kulyune kuva mu nyumba ja baba ghwango?
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
50 neke navakakagwile uluvumbulilo lwa masio aghuo.
And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 pepano akaluta palikimo na veene kukaja ku Nasaleti, kange alyale mwitiki kuveene. ung'iina alyavikile sooni mu mwoojo ghwake.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 neke uYesu alyaghendelile kukula mu vukoola ni vugoyo nakughina kuva mughanike kwa Nguluve na vaanhu.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
