Luka 2
1 Gene mobhago, a Kaishali bhashemwaga a Augushito, bhakulungwa bhakulu bha upalume gwa Shiloma bhashinkulajiya bhalikwaapinganga bhandunji bhowe bhalinginji muupalume gwabho bhakajandikwanje.
And it came to pass in those days, that there went forth a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the inhabitants of the land should be enrolled.
2 Kwene kujandikwako pukwaaliji kutandubha kwene kuumila a Kileniashi pubhaaliji bhakulungwa bha shilambo sha ku Shilia.
This enrollment first took place when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.
3 Bhai bhowe bhapinjikwenje gubhapitengenenje kuujandikwa kila mundu kushilambo shakwe shabhelekwe.
And all went to be enrolled, each one to his own city.
4 A Yoshepu nabhalabho ni gubhajabhwile ku Nashaleti, shilambo sha ku Galilaya, pabha pubhaaliji bha ulongo bha shipinga shimo na bhakulungwa a Daudi, gubhapite ku Bheteleemu shilambo sha ku Yudea kubhabhelekwe bhakulungwa a Daudi.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (for he was of the house and family of David, ).
5 Gubhapite kuujandikwa na bha ntemela gwabho a Malia bhali na shitumbo.
to be enrolled with Mary his betrothed wife, who was with child.
6 Bhalinginji ku Bheteleemu, lyubha lyabho lya kwiigopola likuishilaga,
And it came to pass while they were there, that the days for her to be delivered were completed;
7 gubhankwete mwana lielo lyabho, gubhanng'washiye nngubho shinambombe, gubhanngoneshe pa lila ng'ombe, pabha bhakapatilenjeje pa gona nnyumba ja bhajeninji.
and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swathing-clothes, and laid him in the stable, because there was no place for them in the inn.
8 Tome na ku Bheteleemu bhashinkupagwanga bhashunga bhatamanganaga mukonde, shilo bhalinginji muulinda gwa ngondolo yabhonji.
And there were in the same country shepherds, living in the open field, and guarding their flock by night.
9 Malaika jwa a Nnungu gwabhakoposhelenje na Ukonjelo gwa Bhakulungwa a Nnungu ukwamulishilangaga powe. Gubhatengukenje.
And, behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were greatly afraid.
10 Ikabheje malaika gwabhalugulilenje, “Nnatengukanje! Pabha njikwiya kummalanjilanga ngani ja mmbone, jakwaanonyelanga bhandu bhowe.
And the angel said to them: Be not afraid; for, behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which shall be for all people.
11 Lelo nshilambo sha a Daudi ashibhelekwa nkutapula jwenunji, jwenejo ni Kilishitu ali Nkulungwa.
For there is born for you this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 Na sheshino shishibhe shilangulo shenunji. Shimunng'imananje nambombe awashiywe nngubho ya shinambombe, agonekwe pa lila ng'ombe.”
And this shall be to you the sign: you will find the babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, and lying in a stable.
13 Shangupe likundi lyalikulungwa lya ashimalaika bhananji bha kunnungu bhakwiilundangaga pamo naka malaika jula, bhalikwainiyanga a Nnungu bhalinkutinji.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying:
14 “Bhakuywe a Nnungu kunani kunnunungu, Na pa shilambolyo pabhe na ulele, ku bhandu bhakwaanonyelanga.”
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men.
15 Ashimalaika bhala, bhakajabhulanganeje kubhuja kunnungu, bhashunga gubhabhalanjilenenje. “Twendangananje ku Bheteleemu tukalibhone lyene likoposhele libhatubhalanjile Bhakulungwa.”
And it came to pass, that, after the angels had gone away into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
16 Bhai, gubhapitengenenje lubhilo, gubhaimenenje a Malia na a Yoshepu naka nambombe jula agonekwe pa lila ng'ombe.
And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the stable.
17 Bhashunga bhakammonanjeje mwana jula gubhaalungushiyenje bhandu bhowe ngani jakwe jibhapilikenenje jila.
And after they had seen it, they made known everywhere the words that had been spoken to them of this child.
18 Bhowe bhapilikenenje jene ngani jibhalugulilwangaga na bhashungajo bhala gubhakanganigwenje.
And all that heard, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 Ikabheje a Malia gubhagabhishile gowe muntima akuno bhaliganishiya.
But Mary kept all these things in her mind, and pondered them in her heart.
20 Bhashunga bhala gubhabhujengenenje, akuno bhalikwakuyanga na kwaainiya a Nnungu, kwa gowe gubhapilikenenje na kugabhona, gashinkubha malinga shibhalugulilwenje.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen, as it had been told to them.
21 Gakamalileje mobha nane mwana gwatagwile unyago, gubhanshemilenje lina lyakwe Yeshu, lina lyapegwilwe na malaika jwa a Nnungu, akwabhe bhakanabhe jukuta shitumbo.
And when eight days were completed for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, as it had been called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Lukapiteje luuko, malinga Shalia ja a Musha shijilajila, a Yoshepu na akongobhabho a Malia gubhampelekenje mwana ku Yelushalemu kukunkamuya ku Bhakulungwa,
And when the days for their purification were completed according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
23 malinga Shalia ja Bhakulungwa shijishite, “Kila mwana jwa lielo jwannume shaabhe jwa ukonjelo jwa Bhakulungwa.”
(as it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
24 Nneila peila gubhashoshiyenje mbepei ya nnjubha ibhili eu mabhunda gabhili ga ngunda, malinga Shalia ja Bhakulungwa shijapingaga.
and to offer a sacrifice, according to that which is commanded in the law of the Lord: A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25 Gene mobhago ku Yelushalemu bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo, pubhaliji bhandu bha aki na bhatendaga kwaatindibhalila a Nnungu, pubhashemwaga a Shimoni. Bhenebho bhatendaga lolela gwa lilaka ntapulo gwa bha Ishilaeli. Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo paaliji pamo na bhenebho alikwaataga ntima.
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon. And this man was just and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him:
26 Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo ashinkwaibhulila kuti bhakawa bhakanabhe kummona Kilishitu jwa Bhakulungwa.
and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Anointed.
27 Bhai bhalilongoywa na Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, a Shimoni gubhapite ku Liekalu. A Yoshepu na akongobhabho, gubhampelekenje mwana Yeshu Nniekalu kukuntendela malinga nkubho gwa Shalia ja a Musha shijapingaga.
And he came by the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
28 A Shimoni gubhamposhele mwana Yeshu jula mmakono gabho, akuno bhalikwakuya a Nnungu, bhalinkuti.
he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 “Mmakulungwa nnaino malagano genu gamalile, Mpingaga munneshe ntumishi jwenu akapumulile kwa ulele malinga shimwalajile.
Now, Lord, thou dost let thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word,
30 Pabha meyo gangu gaubhweni ntapulo gwenu,
for my eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 gummishile tayali ku bhandu bha ilambo yowe,
which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 sheneshi ni shilangaya shipinga kwaamulishilanga bhandu bhangali kubha Bhayaudi, na Ukonjelo ku bhandu bhenu bha Ishilaeli.”
a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Ainamundu na akwabhe Yeshu gubhakanganigwenje kwa malobhe gabheleketwe kwa ligongo lika mwana.
And Joseph and his mother wondered at the things which were spoken of him.
34 A Shimoni gubhaapelenje mboka, gubhaalugulile a Malia, akwabhe Yeshu, “Aju mwanaju ashibhelekwa kwa ligongo lya kutuluywa na kukuywa kwa bhandu bhabhagwinji nshilambo sha Ishilaeli. Na jweneju shaabhe shilapo shipinga kanwa na bhandu.
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 to be spoken against,
35 Kwa nneyo ng'aniyo ya bhandu bhabhagwinji ipinga bhoneka gwangali nng'iyo! Na mmwe mmayene ntima gwenu upinga kumpoteka mbuti nng'omilwe na lipanga.”
(and a sword shall pierce through your own soul, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 Bhashinkupagwa bhakongwe bhamo bhakongopa, a nkulondola bha a Nnungu lina lyabho a Ana abhiti a Panueli bha shipinga sha a Asheli. Bhashinkulombwa nitama nshilombani yaka shabha ambunjebhabho ni gubhawile.
And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; she was of great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity:
37 Gubhatemi nshitenga yaka makumi nane na nsheshe. Mobha gowego mubhatamaga Nniekalu bhalitabha nkwaajuga a Nnungu shilo na mui.
and she was a widow of about eighty-four years, and she departed not from the temple, but served, day and night, with fastings and prayers.
38 Popo pego, gubhaikopweye mmujo, gubhatendile eja kwa a Nnungu na gubhalungwiye ngani jika jwene mwanajo kubhandu bhowe bhatemingenenje nkulindilila kutapulwa kwa Yelushalemu.
And she came in at that hour, and gave thanks to Lord, and spoke of him to all that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Ainamundu na anyinamundu bhakatendanjeje yowe yalajilwe na Shalia ja Bhakulungwa, gubhabhujengene kunngwabhonji ku Nashaleti nshilambo sha ku Galilaya.
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 Mwana gwakulile, gwapundile kukola mashili, gwagumbele lunda na nema ja a Nnungu pujaaliji naka jwenejo.
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Ainamundu na anyinamundu malinga shigwaliji nkubho gwabhonji gwa kwenda ku Yelushalemu kila shaka mobha ga shikukuu ja Shiyaudi jishemwa Pashaka.
And his parents went up every year to Jerusalem, at the feast of passover.
42 Yeshu akaishileje yaka likumi limo na ibhili malinga shigwaliji nkubho gwabhonji bhowe gubhajombokenje kwenda kushikukuu.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast.
43 Shikapiteje shikukuu, gubhatandubhenje mwanja gwa bhuja kunngwabhonji, ikabheje Yeshu gwalepeshe ku Yelushalemu, gwangali ainagwe na akwabhe kumumanyanga.
And when they had kept the full number of days, and had set out to return, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew it not.
44 Pubhaganishiyangaga kuti mwali munkumbi gwa bhandu, gubhapitengenenje mwanja gwa totolo, kungai gubhatandubhenje kunnoleya kubhaulongo na kwa ashaambwiga ajabhonji.
But supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their relatives and acquaintance;
45 Pabha bhangammonanga, gubhabhujengenenje ku Yelushalemu pita kunnoleya.
and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
46 Lyubha lya tatu, gubhanng'imenenje ku Liekalu ali atemi munkumbi gwa bhaajiganya bha Shalia alikwaapilikanishiyanga akuno alikwaabhuyanga.
And it came to pass, after three days, that they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 Bhowe bhapilikenenje malobhe gakwe, bhashinkulapanga kwa ijangulo yakwe na lunda lwakwe.
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding, and his answers.
48 Ainagwe na akwabhe bhashinkukanganigwanga bhakammonanjeje. Akwabhe a Malia gubhammushiye, “Gwe mwanangu, kwa nndi ushikututenda nnei? Nne na ainago tushikuuloleya kwa lipamba.”
And when they saw him they were amazed. And his mother said to him: Child, why have you acted thus toward us? Behold, your father and I have sought for you in sorrow.
49 Jwalakwe gwabhajangwilenje, “Kwa nndi mmanganya kunoleyanga? Nkakumumanyanga kuti nne ngunapinjikwa nnyumba ja Atati?”
And he said to them: Why did you seek for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?
50 Ikabheje bhankwetenje bhangagamanyanga malombolelo ga malobhe gabhaalugulilenje gala.
And they did not understand the words which he spoke to them.
51 Bhai gubhalongenenajonji kubhuja ku Nashaleti, gwapundile kwaakundanga. Akwabhe gubhagabhishile muntima gene gowego.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. And his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Na jwalakwe Yeshu gwapundile kukula kwa shanga na lunda, gwapundile kupingwa na a Nnungu na bhandunji.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and with man.
