Luke 2
1 About that time an edict was issued by the Emperor Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole Empire.
Enku zila endajizyo zyafumile hwa Kaisari Agusto ya je esimbwe eye matawa aga bhantu wonti mnsi.
2 (This was the first census taken while Quirinius was Governor of Syria).
Hii ilikuwa ene ebabhe ya hwande yehasimbwilwe epo Krenio nali liwali wa hushamu.
3 And everyone went to his own town to be registered.
Abhantu wonti bhabhalile ahwinsimbisizye shila muntu amwao.
4 Among others Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem, the town of David, in Judea – because he belonged to the family and house of David –
UYusufu wape asogoye hu galilaya afume hushijiji sha hu Nazareti azubhile abhale huu Yudea hadi humji ugwa Daudi, gukwiziwa Bethelehemu, afwatanaje umwahale wahutayari namwao abhahwa Daudi.
5 to be registered with Mary, his engaged wife, who was about to become a mother.
Ili asimbwe pandwemo no Mariamu, ushe wakwe bhapabhiliye wape ano lwanda.
6 While they were there her time came,
Shabha katika akhale ohwo ensiku zyakwe ezya pape zya fishile.
7 and she gave birth to her first child, a son. And because there was no room for them in the inn, she swathed him around and laid him in a manger.
Wapapa umwana wakwe uwahwande, wavwenesya amenda agubha na wagonia mwitori mwanzilela eng'ombe, afwanaje sebhapete enafsi munyumba ezya jenyi.
8 In that same countryside were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,
Na ensi yeyela, bhahali adimi bhakhalaga mwipoli na linde ikundi lwao bhatandilunaga nosiku.
9 when an angel of the Lord suddenly stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were seized with fear.
Umalaika wa GOSI abhafumiye, nanali uzelu wa GOSI wabhakhozizye epande zyonti, bhinjilwa nowoga ogosi.
10 “Have no fear,” the angel said. “For I bring you good news of a great joy in store for all the nation.
Umalaika abhabholele, “Mganje ahigope, afanaje ane embaletela enongwa enyinza eya she engosi yayayibho hwabantu wonti.
11 This day there has been born to you, in the town of David, a Savior, who is Christ and Lord.
Eshe sanyono mnsi eya Daudi! apepwe kwa jili eyahulimwe uwataule wape yu Kristo GOSO!
12 And this will be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger.”
Na ene ndiyo ndago hwilimwe, mbhahu mwaje umwa umwela bhavwenesyezye amenda ageshiwela agonile mwitori mwelela eng'ombe.
13 Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly Host, praising God, and singing –
Nantele bhahali pandwemo nayo omalaika abhinji ajeshi abhamwanya bhahutelela ONGOLOBHE, na ya je,
14 “glory to God on high, and on earth peace among those in whom he finds pleasure.”
“Ayemehwaje ONGOLOBHE amwanya, na pansi ehwe amani hwabhantu bhabhagalile.”
15 Now, when the angels had left them and gone back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, of which the Lord has told us.”
Shabha, omalaika ebho na bhasogola abhule hwabho amwanya bhala udimi bhabholene, “Eshe sali mpaka Bethlehemu, tilirole elwo lwali bhombeshe lyati bhonezyezye ONGOLOBHE.”
16 So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;
Bhabhalile nanali, bhamwanjile oMariamu no Yusufu, nola umwana umwela agonile mwitori.
17 and, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
Na walipomwona bhafumizye enongwa yabhabholelwe afwatone nomwana oyo.
18 All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
Wonti bhabhahovwezye bhaswijile hwago gabhobholelwe na dimi.
19 while Mary treasured in her heart all that they said, and thought about it often.
Lelo o Mariamu wazibhaha humwoyo gwakwe.
20 And the shepherds went back, giving glory and praise to God for all that they had heard and seen. It had all happened as they had been told.
Bhala adimi bhawelile ohu bhahusomba ONGOLOBHE na hutelile humombo gonti gabhovwezye na galale eshe shabhabholelwe.
21 Eight days after the birth of the child, when it was time to circumcise him, he received the name Jesus – the name given him by the angel before his conception.
Hata nazyafishele ensiku nana ezya hutahiri ahetelwe tawa lwakwe Yesu, neshe nahetelwe no malaika sasele abhe lwanda.
22 When the period of purification of mother and child, required by the Law of Moses, came to an end, his parents took the child up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
Alafu nazyafishele ensiku hwabho, neshe sheri endogo ya anusa bhabhalile nao mpaka Yerusalemu bhabheshele OGOSI.
23 in compliance with the Law of the Lord that every firstborn male will be dedicated to the Lord,
Neshe nshesibwilwe mdogo ya GOSI, “Shila mwana ulume wali lwanda ulwahwanda hwanyinawakwe akwiziwaje Golosu wa GOSI.”
24 and also to offer the sacrifice required by the Law of the Lord – a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
Bhafumye sadaka neshe sheyajile katika endogo eya GOSI, “Enko nda bhabhele au makind abhenjebha bhabhele.”
25 There was at that time in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, a righteous and devout man, who lived in constant expectation of Israel’s consulation, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Enya, pala payerusalemu palinomntu itawa lyakwe akwiziwaga Simoni. Umuntu ono alihwelyoli na humpute ONGOLOBHE. Umwahole agolaga ya zizya wa Israeli, na upepo uzelu ali pamwana yakwe.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Yali imalishe abhoneshewe hwakwe ahilile hupepo uzelu aje umwahale saga ehenzaga afwe bila hulole Kristi wa GOSI.
27 Moved by the Spirit, Simeon came into the Temple Courts, and, when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the Law,
Isikulimo ahenzele mhatimwibhaiza alongozehwe no pepo uzelu. ambapo ayise bhakwe bhaletile umwana oYesu hubhombele gala gagahanziwuga mkawaida eye ndogo,
28 Simeon himself took the child in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
Eshi o Simioni aposheye mmakhono gakwe na hulimbe ONGOLOBHE na yanje,
29 “Now, Lord, you will let your servant go, according to your word, in peace,
“Eshi nduhusu nemtumwa waho embale mshinza alengane nizu lyaho.
30 for my eyes have seen the salvation
Afwatanaje amaso gane gahalile uwaule waho,
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations –
Afwanaje uonesha humaso gabhantu bhonti.
32 a light to bring light to the Gentiles, and to be the glory of your people Israel.”
Umwahale rukhozyo mataifa na bhe zelu wabhantu bhakwe Israeli.”
33 While the child’s father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
UYise nonyine wakwe bhali bhaswiga ego gagayangwilwe juu yakwe.
34 Simeon gave them his blessing, and said to Mary, the child’s mother, “This child is appointed to be the cause of the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign much spoken against –
OSimoni wabhasaila abhabhola Mariamu unyina wakwe, “Eye ono abhehwelwe wagwe na bhoshe abhinji bhabali kati Israeli na bhe mbonesyo zyazya yiyangwa.
35 Yes, the sword will pierce your own heart – and so the thoughts in many minds will be disclosed.”
Nawe hwehwe imaje lwaijila humwoyo gwaho ilizibhoneshe esebho ezya moyo aga bhinji.”
36 There was also a prophet named Hannah, a daughter of Phanuel and of the tribe of Asher. She was far advanced in years, having lived with her husband for seven years after marriage,
Ahali ukuwa ushe itawa lyakwe Ana uledu wa Fanueli wa shikholo sha Asheri. Nu umri wakwe alina maha minji. Akheye nolume amaha saba baada eyelendu wakwe,
37 and then a widow, until she had reached the age of eighty-four. She never left the Temple Courts, but, fasting and praying, worshiped God night and day.
Wape fwele owemaha amarongo nane na mahaganne. Sasogolo mwibhanza ila aputa usiku no sanya na funje na labhe.
38 At that moment she came up, and began publicly to thank God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the deliverance of Jerusalem.
Oyo afumele sala yeyo asalifizye ONGOLOBHE. Na wonti bhali bhahwenyelezya eshahwaulwe katika Yerusalemu abhafumizyo enongwa zyakwe.
39 When the child’s parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
Basi nabhamala gonti gagalajiziwe aga mndongozi eya GOSi, bhahwelile hu Galilaya, mpaka iboma lwao, Nazareti.
40 The child grew and became strong and wise, and the blessing of God was on him.
Ola umwana wakula, na hwonjele amahaa amemile enshinshi, na neema ya NGOLOBHE yali juu yakwe.
41 Every year the child’s parents used to go to Jerusalem at the Passover Festival.
Basi ayise bhakwe bhabhala hu Yerusalemu shila mwaha uwakati uweshikurukuru ya Pasaka.
42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they went according to custom to Jerusalem,
Na fishiye umri wakwe amaha kumi na gabhle bhazubhile neshe sheli emila eye shikurukuru.
43 and had finished their visit; but, when they started to return, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, without their knowing it.
Nabhamalila ensiku wakati uwahwele hwabhoola umwana uYesu asageye hwisaro ohwo hu Yerusalemu na bhayise bhakwe sebhalolene.
44 Thinking that he was with their fellow travelers, they went one day’s journey before searching for him among their relatives and acquaintances;
Bhape bhamenyeje bhalipandwemo mshora, bhabhalile enjendo uwisiku lyonti bhanda humwanza mwa mwabho.
45 and then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.
Nu sebhamwanga bhahwelile hu Yerusalemu ohu bhahumwanza.
46 It was not until the third day that they found him in the Temple Courts, sitting among the teachers, now listening to them, now asking them questions.
Yabha na zyafiha ensiku zitatu, bhalola mwibhinza, akheye pahati ya manyizi, abhatejelezya nabhabhozye amaswali.
47 All who listened to him marveled at his intelligence and his answers.
Wape wonti bhabhamwovwaga bhanswijile uwelewa wakwe na amajibu gakwe.
48 His parents were amazed when they saw him, and his mother said to him, “My child, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”
Na bhalolile, bhanswijile. Nonyina wakwe wabhola, “Mwana wane, mbone otibhombeye eshi? enye, uyise waho nane talili humwanza uzugumie”
49 “What made you search for me?” he answered. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
Wabhabhola, “Yenu mnanza sagamwamenye aje ehwanziwa akhale munyumba eya yise wane?
50 His parents did not understand what he meant.
Unape sebhalyelewe izu elyo lyabha bhozezye.
51 However he went down with them to Nazareth, and submitted himself to their control; and his mother treasured all that was said in her heart.
Hwiho pandwemo nabho mpaka hu Nazareti wape ali abeshimu, onyina agabheshele ego gonti humwoyo gwakwe.
52 And Jesus grew in wisdom as he grew in years, and gained the blessing of God and people.
Wape uYesu wazidi ahwonjelele katika hekima kimo, wapendezya ONGOLOBHE na bhantu.
