Luka 2
1 Nene nanya nayiri a ne, kaisar Agustus yita tigo a nutuno uduka nworuu i nyertu tisa na nit vat na idi nanyan mmyin nRoma.
Now in those days an edict was published by Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be enrolled or taxed,
2 Ulelere kibatiza nfari na iwasu kubi na kiriniyas wandi ugumuna nSiriya.
(this tax was first levied when Cyrenius was governor of Syria) and they all went to be enrolled,
3 Ko gha nya udu kagbir mye idi nyertu ghe bara kibatiza.
every one to his own city:
4 Yusufu fita anuzu kipin Nazarat nanya Ngalili, acina udu Uyahudiya, kipin Baitalami, kanga na iyuru kinin kipin Dauda, bara ame wandi kuwunu unuzu likuran Dauda.
so Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem (because he
5 A doo kikane idi nyertin ghe nin Maryamu, ule na awa di kubura nilugma mye, iyita ncaa ngono.
was of the house and line of David) to be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was big with child.
6 Nene uduru kubi na iwadi kikane, kubi nmaru ngono da ghe.
And while they were there, the days of her delivery were fulfilled,
7 Amara gono, kin pari mye, a tursu ghe nin kupori, a cio ghe kiti nlii nimonli nakam. Bara na kutyi wa duku ba, kilari namara.
and she brought forth her son, the first-born, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Kusari kone, anan liwalli ninab wa duku, alenge na iwa sosin nfong iwadi ncaa ligozi nakam nin kiitik.
And there were in the same country shepherds out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night: and lo,
9 Kpak unan kadura Ncikilari nuzu kiti mine, ngongong Kutelle din nbaltu kiyitik mine, fiu da noni.
an angel of the Lord stood over them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them, and they were greatly terrified:
10 Unan kadura Kutelle woro nani, “Na iwa lanza fiu ba bara nba bellin munu uliru ucine, ulenge na uba dak nin lanzu nmang kang kiti nanit vat.
and the angel said to them, Be not affrighted; for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people,
11 Kitimone imarra munu unan tucu, nanya kagbir Dauda! Amere Kristi Cikilari!
that this day is born, in the city of David, your Saviour Christ the Lord.
12 Alamere ale na iba ni munu, iba se gone ikiroghe nin kuzeni anong kiti nlii nimonli nin kuzeni anong kiti nlii nimonli nakam.”
And this shall be a sign to you, Ye shall find the child wrapped in swaddling bands lying in a manger.
13 Kpak nin unan kadura Kutelle a soja kiteni kani gbardang wan duku nsu liru kutelle idin su,
And on a sudden there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host,
14 “Ngongon udu kiti Kutelle kitene kani, lisosin lishau ba yitu inyi nanya nanit nin nalenge na ayi mye npoon ninghinu.”
praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-will towards men.
15 Uso na unan kadura Kutelle nnnya kiti mine, anan liwali nine woro natimine, “Cannari nene udu Baitalami tiyene imon ile na idi ilenge na Cikilari nta tiyino inin.”
And when the angels went from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us go to Bethlehem, and see this which hath been told us, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 Ido kikane dedei ise Maryamu ku nin Yusufu, iyene gono nonn kiti nlii nimonli nakame.
And they came with speed, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger:
17 Na iyene nani, ita anit yinno imon ile na ibelle nani kitene ngono kane.
and when they had seen it, they divulged what had been told them concerning this child:
18 Vat nalenge na iwa lanza ikifo tinnu, bara ile imon na ubelle nani kiti na nan liwali ninah.
and all that heard it, were amazed at the things which were related to them by the shepherds.
19 Ame Maryamu tinna nkilizu kitene vat nile imon na lanza acio inin nanya kibinai mye.
But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering them in her heart.
20 Anan liwali nineh kpilla, idin nzazinu nin liru Kutelle, bara imon ile vat na ilanza, iyene idi nafo na ina belin nani.
And the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all the things which they had heard and seen, according as it had been told unto them.
21 Na ayiri kuliri nkulo, kubi nkalu kucuru ngone ndah, inaghe lisa Yesu, Lisa na unan kadura Kutelle wa mallu unighe, kamin nuzu nanya libure.
And when eight days were fulfilled for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, having been so called by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
22 Na ayiri linanu mye nmala, bara uduka Musa, Yusufu nin Maryamu damun kagone nanya kutyi nliran nurushelima, inakpa ghe kitin Cikilari.
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him before the Lord:
23 Nafo na inyerte di nanya duka Cikilari, “Ko kame gono nfari kilime iba yicu ghe ulau Ncikilari.”
(as it is written in the law of the Lord, That every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord: ) and to offer a sacrifice,
24 Tutun iwa dak ida ni uhudaya bara uleli ubelle nanya nduka Ncikilari, “awullung abba sa atanta bara.”
according to what is required in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
25 Au umong unit nanya Urushelima lisa mye Simeon, unit une ullau wari unan ni litii, awadi ncaa nle na aaba da bunu Isiraila ku, Uruhu ulau wa di litimye.
And there was a man at Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and he was a just and a religious man, who expected the consolation of Israel; and the holy Spirit was upon him.
26 Awa se uleli uyinno kiti nruhu ulau, na uwa woroghe, na ame ba kuu ba, sei ayene Cikilari Kristi.
And it was revealed to him by the holy Spirit, that he should not die before he had seen the Anointed of the Lord.
27 Nlon liri ada kutyi nlira, Uruhu ulau wari wa dofin ninghe. Kubi na Ucife nin nne wa dinin gone Yesu, ida sughe ile imon na uduka anbelle isu.
And he came by the influence of the Spirit into the temple, as his parents brought in the child Jesus to do concerning Him according to the custom of the law:
28 Ame Simeon ne sereghe nin nacara mye, asu liru Kutelle anin woro,
and he took Him into his arms,
29 “Nene na kucin fe nya sheu, Cikilari, bara uliru ligbulang fe.
and blessed God, and said, "Now, Lord, thou dismissest thy servant in peace, according to thy word;
30 Bara iyizi nighe nyene utucu fe,
for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast provided in the sight of all people,
31 Ulenge na uwa keele nanya nyenju nanit vat.
a light for the enlightening of the Gentiles,
32 Ame ba so nkanan bara upunu kidegen kiti nalumai, aba so ngongon nanit mye Isiraila.”
and the glory of thy people Israel."
33 Ucif nin nnah nngone kiffo tinu kitene nile imon na idin kitin gone.
And Joseph and his mother were amazed at the things that were spoken concerning Him.
34 Simeon ta nani nmari, abelle Maryamu ku unene, “Lanzai gegeme gono kane ba so libau ndiu nin nfitu nanit gbardang nan Isiraila nin nalama alenge na idin bellu kitene mye.
And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be spoken against,
35 Tutun Kusangali ba wariu kidowo fe, bara ukpilizu nibinai gbardang bba nuzu fong.”
(and a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be discovered.
36 Umong uwani unan nliru nin nnu Kutelle, lisa mye Anna ame wang wa duku, ame ushonon Fanuwel unuzu likuran Ashar, awa dinin mye nin nlesi akus kuzor cas,
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; who was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her first marrying,
37 a so nanya likulok uduru akus akut kulir nin na nas. Na a suna u picu kutiin nlira ba kitik nin liring, a suzu ukotu nayi nin lira.
and had been a widow about eighty four years; who departed not from the temple; serving God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 Nkoni kube ada kiti mine a cizina ugodiya kiti Kutelle, asu uliru kitene ngone kiti nko gha, alenge na idin ncaa ntucu Urushelima.
And coming in at the very same time, gave thanks unto the Lord, and spake of Him to all that were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Kubi na imala vat nile imon na iwa dinin su nsuwe bara uduka Ncikilari, ikpilla udu Ugalili, udu kagbir mine Unanzaret.
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 Kinin gone kunno ata likara, njinjin kpina ku nsheu Kutelle so liti mye.
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
41 Ucife nin nnere asa ido Urushelima ko lome likus bara ubukin (keterewa).
Now his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover:
42 Kubi na awa duru akus likure inung tutun nya kubi nalada a kubi nbuki.
and when He was twelve years old, going up to Jerusalem, as usual at the feast, and having finished the time,
43 Na iso, ayiri nbuke vat malla, izina ukpilizinu kilari, ame gone Yesu lawa kidung, nanyan Urushelima, na inung Ucife nin nnene wa yiru ba.
when they returned, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem: and Joseph and his mother did not know it;
44 Inung dinsu nworu adi nanya ligo nanit, na iwa di nanghinu, isu ucin liri lirum, inin cizina upiziru ghe nanya likura nan nadondon.
but supposing Him to be in the company, went a day's journey, and then sought for Him among their kindred and acquaintance:
45 Na iseghe ba, inung kpilla udu Urushelimma, itunna npiziru ghe kikane.
and not finding Him they returned to Jerusalem seeking for Him:
46 Iduru ayiri ataat iseghe nanya kutyi nliran, asosin kiyitik na nan nyiru, inlanzu nani nin ntinu nani.
and after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, attending to them and asking them questions.
47 Vat nalenge na iwa lanza ghe iwa kiffo tinu, bbara uyiru nin nkawu mye.
And all that heard Him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
48 Kubi na iyene ghe ikiffo tinu unna mye woro, “Gono, iyaghari nta usu nari nani? Lanza Cife nin mye tidin piziru fi kkang.”
And when they saw Him, they were amazed. And his mother said to Him, Son, why didst thou deal thus with us? behold, thy father and I with grief have been seeking for thee.
49 A woro nani, “Iyaghari nta idin pizirie? na anug yiru ba uso yi gbasari nso kilari Kutelle?”
And He said to them, Why did ye so seek me? Did not ye know that I ought to be in my Father's house?
50 Bara na inung nyinno ile imon na tigbulang mye din bellu ba.
but they did not understand the word which He spake to them.
51 A kpilla kilare nanghinu udu Unazareet adorto uliru mine, unna mye cio vat nimon ine nanya kibinai mye.
Then He went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Yesu leo ubun nkunju nin njinjin a njangaram, ase uyinnu Kutelle nan nanit.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
