Luke 2
1 Mu bilumbu bina, ntinu Sezari Ogisite wuvana lutumu lu tangabatu boso disasama va ntoto wumvimba.
Ngalezonsuku uKhesari Agastasi wakhupha isimemezelo sokuthi abantu babalwe kulolonke ilizwe lombuso wamaRoma.
2 Disasama beni diawu diba dithete divangama mu thangu Kiliniusi kaba nyadi wu Sili.
(Lokhu kwakuyikubalwa kwabantu kokuqala okwenzakala uKhwirinu engumbusi wase-Asiriya.)
3 Kadika mutu wuyenda kisonikisa ku divula diandi.
Wonke umuntu waya edolobheni lakibo wayabhalisa.
4 Sumbu Zefu kaba mu nkuna wu Davidi, diawu kabotukila ku divula di Nazaleti, mu tsi yi Ngalili mu kuenda mu tsi yi Yuda ku divula di Betelemi, divula di Davidi.
UJosefa laye wahamba esuka edolobheni leNazaretha eseGalile waya eJudiya, eBhethilehema idolobho likaDavida, ngoba wayengowendlu losendo lukaDavida.
5 Wuyenda va kimosi ayi Maliya, nketo wukazola kuela, wuba mu buemba.
Waya khona ukuyabhalisa eloMariya, owayesethembise ukwendela kuye, esekhulelwe.
6 Buna badi ku Betelemi, Maliya wutula mu thanguꞌandi yibutila.
Bathi bekhonale safika isikhathi sokubelethwa komntwana,
7 Buna wubuta muana wubakala: muanꞌandi wuthete. Wunzinga mu minledi ayi wuntula mu dikulu ki bibulu bila bibuangu bisia bakana ko mu diambu diawu mu zinzo zinlekanga banzenza.
wazibula ngendodana. Wayigoqela ngamalembu, wayilalisa emkolweni wokudlela izifuyo ngoba babengelandawo endlini yezihambi.
8 Minsungi mi mamemi miba mu zitsola zizungidila zunga beni mibansunga mu nkielo buisi minkangu miawu mimamemi.
Kwakulabelusi ababehlala emlageni eduze kwalapho, belinda imihlambi yabo yezimvu ebusuku.
9 Kuna mbasi yi Pfumu yiba monikina ayi nkembo wu Pfumu wubazungidila. Buna tsisi yingolo yiba buila.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala kubo, inkazimulo yeNkosi yakhanya ibazingelezile, ngakho besaba kakhulu.
10 Vayi mbasi yiba kamba: —Bikanu mona boma. Tsangu yimboti ndilunatini. Yikuiza monisabatu boso khini.
Kodwa ingilosi yathi kubo, “Lingesabi. Ngizolitshela izindaba ezinhle ezizaletha intokozo enkulu ebantwini bonke.
11 Bila buabu balubutidi Mvulusi mu divula di Davidi. Niandi Mesiya, Pfumu.
Lamuhla lizalelwe uMsindisi emzini kaDavida; unguKhristu iNkosi.
12 Luela mona muana wu tsombi zingulu mu minledi ayi tululu mu dikulu ki bibulu. Kiawu kioki dimbu luela kunzabila.
Lokhu kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kini: Lizathola umntwana egoqelwe ngamalembu elele emkolweni.”
13 Buela zimbukila nkangu wu zimbasi ziba mu dikabu di masodi ma diyilu wumonika va ndambu mbasi beni. Nkangu beni wuyimbila minzitusu mi Nzambi:
Masinyane kwaqhamuka ixuku lebandla lasezulwini lengilosi lidumisa uNkulunkulu lisithi,
14 Nkembo kuidi Nzambi yizangama Ndembama va ntoto kuidi batu baketa zola.
“Udumo kuNkulunkulu emazulwini aphezulu, lokuthula emhlabeni kulabo abathole umusa kuye.”
15 Zimbasi bu zibika minsungi, zivutuka ku diyilu, buna minsungi mi mameme mikambasana miawu na miawu ti: —Bika tuendanu ku Betelemi mu kuenda tadi mambu momo mavangimini kuna; momo Pfumu katusamunini.
Kwathi izingilosi sezibatshiyile zabuyela ezulwini, abelusi bakhulumisana bathi, “Kasihambeni siye eBhethilehema siyobona into le esiyenzakele, iNkosi esisitshele ngayo.”
16 Bayenda nsualu ayi bayenda bata Maliya ayi Zefu va kimosi ayi muana wu tsombi wulekusu mu dikulu ki bibulu.
Bahle basuka ngokuphangisa, bafica uMariya loJosefa losane olwalulele emkolweni wokudlela izifuyo.
17 Buna baba mona, basamuna mambu moso momo baba kamba mu diambu di muana.
Bathi sebembonile umntwana, batshela abanengi ngalokho ababekutshelwe mayelana lomntwana lo,
18 Babo bobo bawu wawu, basimina buwombo mu diambu di mambu momominsungi mi mameme miba kamba.
kwathi bonke abalizwayo bamangaliswa yilokho abakuzwa ngabelusi.
19 Vayi Maliya wulunda mambu moso ayi wuba ku mayindulanga mu ntimꞌandi.
Kodwa uMariya wazenza igugu zonke lezizinto wazishicilela enhliziyweni yakhe.
20 Bosi minsungi mivutuka, minkembisa ayi minsanisina Nzambi mu diambu di mamo ma bamona ayi ma bawa. Mawu maba banga kuandi bu babakambila mawu.
Abelusi babuyela, bedumisa njalo bebabaza uNkulunkulu ngezinto zonke ababezizwile njalo bazibona, zaba yikho kanye ababekutsheliwe.
21 Dinana di bilumbu bu biduka, thangu yi zengisa lunitu lu kibakala lu muana bu yifuana, buna bamvana dizina Yesu. Diawu dizina divana mbasi tuamina nguandi kaba mu buemba buandi.
Ngosuku lwesificaminwembili, sekuyisikhathi sokuthi asokwe, wethiwa ibizo elithi nguJesu, ibizo ayelithiwe yingilosi engakabunjwa esiswini.
22 Bilumbu bizengu mu Mina mi Moyize mu diambu di tsukudulu awu bu bifuana, bambuta ba Yesu zinnata ku Yelusalemi mu diambu dikummonisa kuidi Pfumu.
Kwathi lapho sesiphelile isikhathi sabo sokuhlanjululwa ngokomthetho kaMosi, uJosefa loMariya bamusa eJerusalema ukuyamnikela eNkosini
23 Boso buidi busonama mu Mina mi Pfumu ti: Woso muana wuthete wu bakala wumbutuka, wela tambuku kuidi Pfumu.
(njengokulotshiweyo eMthethweni weNkosi ukuthi, “Lonke izibulo lesilisa kumele linikelwe eNkosini”),
24 Bayiza diaka mu diambu di tambika dikaba boso buididi mu Minami Pfumu: biduka biodi voti bana buadi ba mabembi.
njalo kwenziwe umhlatshelo kulandelwa lokho okutshiwo nguMthetho weNkosi othi: “amajuba amabili loba inkwilimba ezisesezincane ezimbili.”
25 Mutu wumosi wuba ku Yelusalemi, dizina diandi Simewoni. Wubamutu wufuana ayi wusonga. Wuba vingila mbombolo yi Iseli ayi Pheve Yinlongoyiba va niandi.
Kwakukhona eJerusalema indoda eyayithiwa nguSimiyoni, yayilungile njalo ikholwa. Yayilindele ukududuzwa kuka-Israyeli, njalo uMoya oNgcwele wawuphezu kwayo.
26 Bila Pheve Yinlongo yinkamba ti kalendi vika fua ko enati kamuenieti ko Klisto yi Pfumu.
Kwakwambuliwe kuye nguMoya oNgcwele ukuthi wayengayikufa engakaboni uKhristu weNkosi.
27 Niandi wuyiza ku nzo Nzambi mu lutumunu lu Mpeve Yinlongo. Mu thangu bambuta ba Yesu zinata muana mu diambu di dukisa mambu madi mu Mina,
Waholwa nguMoya wangena emagumeni ethempeli. Kwathi abazali sebemlethile umntwana uJesu ukumenzela lokho okwakufunwa ngumkhuba woMthetho,
28 buna Simewoni wunsimba mu mioko ayi wusanisina Nzambi bu katuba:
uSimiyoni wamgona ngezingalo zakhe wadumisa uNkulunkulu esithi:
29 A Pfumu, yekula buabu kisadi kiaku kienda mu ndembama boso buididi tsilꞌaku
“Thixo, Nkosi, njengoba wavele wathembisa, manje-ke iyekele ihambe ngokuthula inceku yakho.
30 bila meso mama manueni phulusu aku
Ngoba amehlo ami aseyibonile insindiso yakho,
31 yoyi wukubika mu diambu di batu boso
oyilungisileyo phambi kwezizwe zonke,
32 yawu yidi muinda mu diambu di kienzula makanda; ayi nkembo wu Iseli, batu baku.
ukukhanya kokwambulela abeZizwe lokwenkazimulo yabantu bakho bako-Israyeli.”
33 Dise ayi ngudi basimina buwombo mu wa mambu katuba mu diambu diandi.
Oyise lonina womntwana bamangala kakhulu ngalokho okwakukhulunywa ngaye.
34 Simewoni wuba sakumuna ayi wukamba Maliya, nguandi Yesu ti: —Tala muana wawu wu kubukulu mu diambu di buisa ayi mu telimisa batu bawombo mu Iseli. Wela ba dimbu kiela bangusanga bawombo;
USimiyoni wasebabusisa, wathi kuMariya unina: “Umntwana lo umiselwe ukuwa lokuvuka kwabanengi ko-Israyeli, lokuba yisibonakaliso esizagconwa,
35 muingi mayindu ma mintima mi batu bawombo matotuka. Vayi kuidi ngeyo veka, wela ba banga mbedi yela tobul mpeve aku.
ukwenzela ukuthi imicabango yabanengi ivele obala. Njalo inkemba izawugwaza umphefumulo wakho lawe.”
36 Mbikudi wumosi wu nketo wuba diaka muna. Dizina diandi Anna, muana Fenueli, wuba mu dikanda di Aseli. Wuba wununa ngolo. Tsambudi di mimvu kaka kavuandila va makuela mu bumuana buandi.
Kwakukhona njalo umphrofethikazi, u-Ana, indodakazi kaFanuweli, owesizwana sika-Asheri. Wayesemdala kakhulu: wayephile lomkakhe okweminyaka eyisikhombisa ngemva kokwenda kwakhe,
37 Bosi wukituka difuola ayi wuzingila mu kidifuola nate mu tezo ki lunana lu mimvu ayi mimvu minya. Kadi lumbu kimosi kasia bika ko nzo Nzambi bila muna kaba nsadilanga Nzambi builu ayi muini mu lusambulu ayi mu kukifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu.
wasesiba ngumfelokazi waze waba leminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lane. Kazange lanini asuke ethempelini kodwa wayekhonza ubusuku lemini, ezila njalo ekhuleka.
38 Niandi mamvandi bu kayiza muna thangu yina, wusanisina Nzambi ayi wuyolukila mambu ma muana kuidi batu bobo baba mvingilanga khudulu yi Yelusalemi.
Wabuya kubo ngalesosikhathi wabonga kuNkulunkulu, wakhuluma ngomntwana kubo bonke ababelindele ukuhlengwa kweJerusalema.
39 Bu bamana dukisa mambu momo masonama mu Mina mi Pfumu, Maliyaayi Zefu bafutuka ku buala buawu, Nazaleti, didi mu Ngalili.
Kwathi lapho uJosefa loMariya sebekwenzile konke okwakufuneka ngoMthetho weNkosi babuyela eGalile, edolobheni lakibo elaseNazaretha.
40 Muana wuyunduka ayi wukinda. Diela diwombo diba yandi ayi nlemvo wu Nzambi wuba mu niandi.
Umntwana wakhula, waqina; wagcwala inhlakanipho, njalo umusa kaNkulunkulu waba phezu kwakhe.
41 Kadika mvu bambuta ba Yesu ziba kuendanga ku Yelusalemi mu nyengo Pasika.
Iminyaka yonke abazali bakhe baya eJerusalema belanda uMkhosi wePhasika.
42 Yesu bu kadukisa kumi mimvu miodi buna bayenda ku Yelusalemi, mu diambu di nyengo, boso bubela kifu kiawu.
Kwathi eseleminyaka elitshumi lambili baya emkhosini njengenjayelo.
43 Nyengo bu wumanisa, bavutuka kuawu. Vayi muanꞌawu Yesu wusiala ku Yelusalemi ayi bambuta bandi zisia bu zaba ko.
Kwathi uMkhosi usuphelile, abazali bakhe sebebuyela ekhaya, umfana uJesu wasala eJerusalema, kodwa bona belibele.
44 Bawu babanzila ti widi muidi bakundi bawu bayenda yawu va kimosi. Bu badiata lumbu kimvimba, buna batona kuntomba muba bibutu biawu ayi bazabana yawu.
Bazihambela ilanga lonke bona becabanga ukuthi ukhona edwendweni lwabo. Basebeqalisa ukumdinga phakathi kwezihlobo zabo labangane.
45 Vayi sumbu basia kummona ko; diawu bavutukila ku Yelusalemi mu kuenda ntombi.
Bathi sebemswele babuyela eJerusalema bayamdinga.
46 Bilumbu bitatu bu bivioka, bambakula muna nzo Nzambi, buna kavuendi va khatitsika minlongi mi mina. Wuba wa ayi wuba yuvula biuvu.
Ngemva kwensuku ezintathu bamfumana emagumeni ethempeli ehlezi phakathi kwabafundisi elalele njalo ebabuza imibuzo.
47 Babo bobo banwa, basimina mu diambu di diela diandi ayi mu diambu di mimvutuziandi.
Wonke umuntu owamuzwayo wamangala ngokuzwisisa kwakhe kanye lempendulo zakhe.
48 Zimbuta bandi zisimina buwombo bu zimmona vana. Buna nguandi wunkamba: —Muanꞌama, bila mbi wutuvangidi bobo e? Zebi kuaku ti siaku ayiminu tsisi yiwombo tumueni ayi tutombidi ngolo.
Abazali bakhe bathi bembona bamangala kakhulu. Unina wathi kuye, “Ndodana, kungani usinqinekisa kangaka? Uyihlo lami besesikhathazekile sikudinga.”
49 Buna Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bila mbi lufueti kuthombila e? Lusi zaba ko ti mfueti ba mu nzo yi dise diama?
Yena wabuza wathi, “Belivele lingidingelani kanti? Belingazi yini ukuthi bekumele ngibe sendlini kaBaba?”
50 Vayi basia sudika ko mambu momo ka bakamba.
Kodwa kabazwisisanga lokho ayekutsho kubo.
51 Buna wuyenda yawu ayi wuvutuka ku Nazaleti. Wuba tumukina. Vayi nguandi wulunda bumboti mambu moso momo mavioka.
Wasehamba labo eNazaretha wahlala ebalalela. Kodwa unina wazenza igugu zonke lezi izinto enhliziyweni yakhe.
52 Yesu wuyunduka mu nduenga ayi mu ntela. Khini yiwombo kamonisa Nzambi ayi batu.
UJesu wakhula ngenhlakanipho, langomzimba langokuthandwa nguNkulunkulu labantu.
