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.
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 Ulelere kibatiza nfari na iwasu kubi na kiriniyas wandi ugumuna nSiriya.
This enrollment first took place when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.
3 Ko gha nya udu kagbir mye idi nyertu ghe bara kibatiza.
And all went to be enrolled, each 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.
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 A doo kikane idi nyertin ghe nin Maryamu, ule na awa di kubura nilugma mye, iyita ncaa ngono.
to be enrolled with Mary his betrothed wife, who was with child.
6 Nene uduru kubi na iwadi kikane, kubi nmaru ngono da ghe.
And it came to pass while they were there, that the days for her to be delivered were completed;
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 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 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, living in the open field, and guarding their flock by night.
9 Kpak unan kadura Ncikilari nuzu kiti mine, ngongong Kutelle din nbaltu kiyitik mine, fiu da noni.
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 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 afraid; for, behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which shall be for all people.
11 Kitimone imarra munu unan tucu, nanya kagbir Dauda! Amere Kristi Cikilari!
For there is born for you this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is 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 to you the sign: you will find the babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, and lying in a stable.
13 Kpak nin unan kadura Kutelle a soja kiteni kani gbardang wan duku nsu liru kutelle idin su,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying:
14 “Ngongon udu kiti Kutelle kitene kani, lisosin lishau ba yitu inyi nanya nanit nin nalenge na ayi mye npoon ninghinu.”
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among 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 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 Ido kikane dedei ise Maryamu ku nin Yusufu, iyene gono nonn kiti nlii nimonli nakame.
And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the stable.
17 Na iyene nani, ita anit yinno imon ile na ibelle nani kitene ngono kane.
And after they had seen it, they made known everywhere the words that had been spoken to them of 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, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 Ame Maryamu tinna nkilizu kitene vat nile imon na lanza acio inin nanya kibinai mye.
But Mary kept all these things in her mind, and pondered 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 things which they had heard and seen, as it had been told to 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 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 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 for their purification were completed according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to 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: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
24 Tutun iwa dak ida ni uhudaya bara uleli ubelle nanya nduka Ncikilari, “awullung abba sa atanta bara.”
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 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, 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 Awa se uleli uyinno kiti nruhu ulau, na uwa woroghe, na ame ba kuu ba, sei ayene Cikilari Kristi.
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 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 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 Ame Simeon ne sereghe nin nacara mye, asu liru Kutelle anin woro,
he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 “Nene na kucin fe nya sheu, Cikilari, bara uliru ligbulang fe.
Now, Lord, thou dost let thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word,
30 Bara iyizi nighe nyene utucu fe,
for my eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Ulenge na uwa keele nanya nyenju nanit vat.
which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 Ame ba so nkanan bara upunu kidegen kiti nalumai, aba so ngongon nanit mye Isiraila.”
a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, 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 wondered at the things which were spoken of 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 to be spoken against,
35 Tutun Kusangali ba wariu kidowo fe, bara ukpilizu nibinai gbardang bba nuzu fong.”
(and a sword shall pierce through your own soul, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
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 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 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 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 Nkoni kube ada kiti mine a cizina ugodiya kiti Kutelle, asu uliru kitene ngone kiti nko gha, alenge na idin ncaa ntucu Urushelima.
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 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 to 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).
And his parents went up every year to Jerusalem, at the feast of passover.
42 Kubi na awa duru akus likure inung tutun nya kubi nalada a kubi nbuki.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast.
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.
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 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 that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their relatives and acquaintance;
45 Na iseghe ba, inung kpilla udu Urushelimma, itunna npiziru ghe kikane.
and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
46 Iduru ayiri ataat iseghe nanya kutyi nliran, asosin kiyitik na nan nyiru, inlanzu nani nin ntinu nani.
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 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: Child, why have you acted thus toward us? Behold, your father and I have sought for you in sorrow.
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 you seek for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?
50 Bara na inung nyinno ile imon na tigbulang mye din bellu ba.
And they did not understand the words which he spoke to them.
51 A kpilla kilare nanghinu udu Unazareet adorto uliru mine, unna mye cio vat nimon ine nanya kibinai mye.
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 Yesu leo ubun nkunju nin njinjin a njangaram, ase uyinnu Kutelle nan nanit.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and with man.
