Luka 2
1 nambeambe katika lichoba liyo, yatibonekana kwamba kaisari Agusto apiite agizo kumuelekeza kwamba itolekwe sensa ya bandubaatama mulunia.
Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar [Ruler] Augustus [Revered, Esteemed, Venerable] that all the world should be enrolled.
2 Yeno yabile ni sensa ya kwanza yaipangilwe muda Krenio abile gavana wa Siria.
This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria [Elevated].
3 nyoo kila yumo atiyenda mjini kwayenda yakuandikisha sensa.
All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
4 Niywembe Yusufu atiboka kae katika mji wa Nazaleti kwa Galilaya na atisafiri Yudea kwa mji wa Bethlehemu, utangilikwa kati mji wa Daudi, kwa sababu atepitiya lukoloo lwa Daudi.
Joseph [May he add] also went up from Galilee [District, Circuit], out of the city of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one], into Judea [Praise], to David [Beloved]’s city, which is called Bethlehem [House of Bread], because he was of the house and family of David [Beloved];
5 Atiyenda kwa kujiandikicha pamope na Mariamu, ywembe abile kobeka na abile pekaniliya mwana.
to enroll himself with Mary [Rebellion], who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
6 Nambeyambe atikuipya kwamba, pabile kolo muda wake wa papa mwana utimile.
While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
7 Apapite mwana nnalome, mmbeleko wake wa kwanza, atikumbilingia ngobo muyega atikumlendelana mbepo mwana. Boka po atikumbeka kwenye liholilyalelya inyama, kwasababu yabile ntopo nafasi kwenye nyumba ya wageni.
She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Katika eneo lelo, babile bachungaji mmigunda batilendanga kipenga sa ngondolo wabe kilo.
There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 Ghafla, malaika wa Ngwana atibonekana, na utukufu wa Ngwana uting'ara kubatindiya, ni babile na hofu muno.
Behold, an angel of Adonai stood by them, and the shekhinah ·manifest weighty glory and presence of God· shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 Ndipo malaika atikuwabakia “Lana muyogope”kwa sababu natikubaletya habari njema ambayo ipala kululetya puraha ngolo kwa bandu boti.
The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
11 Leno mwokozi atibelekwa kwaajili yinu mjini mwa Daudi! ywembe nga Kristu Ngwana!
For there is born to you today, in David [Beloved]’s city, a Savior, who is Messiah [Anointed one] the MarYah [Master Yahweh].
12 Yeno nga ishara ambayo tupeilwe, mpala kumkolia mwana atitabilwa ngobo ni atigonja ku'liholi lya lelilya inyama.”
This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
13 Ghafla kwabile na jeshi likolo lya kumaundebatiungana na malaika hago batikumsifu Nnongo, batibaya, “
Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying,
14 Utukufu kwa Nnongo ywa abile kunani muno, ni amani ibi mukilambo kwa boti bapendezwa nae.”
“Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
15 Yabile kwamba malaika payomwike boka yenda kumaunde, bachungaji batibakiana bene kwa bene, “tuyende na mbeyambe kolo Bethlehemu, na tukannole cheno kilebe ambacho kitibonekana, ambacho Ngwana atitubakia.”
When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem [House of Bread], now, and see this thing that has happened, which MarYah [Master Yahweh] has made known to us.”
16 Batiyombeteka kolo, na batikunkoliya Mariamu na Yusufu, bamweni mwana atigonja ku'holi la, lelya inyama.
They came with haste, and found both Mary [Rebellion] and Joseph [May he add], and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
17 Na bapamweni nyoo, batekuwabakiya bandu celo chabakibweni batibakilwa chakimhusu mwana.
When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18 Boti babayowine habari yeno batishangara na chelo chabalongei na bachungaji.
All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 Lakini Mariamu atiyendelea fikiri husu gooti yayomwike kuyapekaniya, atikuyatunza mwoyoni mwake.
But Mary [Rebellion] kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 Bachungaji babuyangite batikumtukuza na kumsifu Nnongo kwaajili ya kila kilebe chabakipekani na kukibona, kama tu yaibile inenwa kwabe.
The shepherds teshuvah ·completely returned·, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
21 Payeikite lichiba lya nane na yabile ni muda wa ina mwana, batikumkema lina Yesu, lina lapeilwe na yolo malaika kabla ya kundumbo inatunga kwaa ndumbo.
When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Yeshua [Salvation], which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Mazao yagapalikwa ya utakaso zapitike, lingana na sakiya ya Musa, Yusufu na Mariamu bampotwike kulihekalu kolyo Yerusalemu kum'beka nnonge ya Ngwana.
When the time came for their purification according to the Torah ·Teaching· of Moses [Drawn out] were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem [City of peace], to present him to MarYah [Master Yahweh]
23 Kati yaiandikilwe katika saliya ya Ngwana, “kila nnalome yayogowa ndumbo ndumbo apala kemelwa ywapiitwe wakfu kwa Ngwana.”
(as it is written in the Torah ·Teaching· of MarYah [Master Yahweh], “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated holy to MarYah [Master Yahweh]”),
24 Balo nyanyanya baichile piya sadaka lengana na chelo chakibailwe katika saliya ya Ngwana, “Jozi ya ngunda ama mabunda mabele ya ngunda.”
and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the Torah ·Teaching· of MarYah [Master Yahweh], “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
25 Linga, pabile na mundu katika Yerusalem ambaye lina lyake abile akemelwa Simeoni. mundu ywa abi na haki na mcha Nnongo. Ywembe abile atilenda kwaajili ya mfariji wa Israel, na Roho mpeletau abi kunani yake.
Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem [City of peace] whose name was Simeon [Hearing]. This man was upright and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel [God prevails], and Ruach haKodesh [Spirit of the Holiness] was on him.
26 Yabile iyomwike tunuliwa kwa ywembe ywa Roho mpeletau kwomba ywembe apala waa kaa kabya ya kum'mona Kristob wa Ngwana.
It had been revealed to him by Ruach haKodesh [Spirit of the Holiness] that he should not see death before he had seen Adonai’s Messiah [Anointed one].
27 lichoba limo aichile nkati ya hekalu, ationgozwa na Roho mpeletau, ambapo azazi batikunleta mwana, Yesu, kumpangia galo yapalikwe kawaida ya saliya.
Prompted by haRuach [the Spirit], he went into the temple courts; and when the parents brought in the child Yeshua [Salvation] to do for him what the Torah ·Teaching· required,
28 ndipo Simeoni atipokiya kwaluboko lwake, na atikumsifu Nnongo nabaya,
then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 “Nambeyambe ruhusa mtumishi wako ayende kwa amani Ngwana, lengana na Neno lyako.
“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
30 Kwa kuwa minyo gango yabwe ni wokovu wako,
for my eyes have seen your method of salvation,
31 ambao utibonekana kwa minyo ya bandu boti.
which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 Ywembe ni nuru kwaajili ya ufunuo kwa bamataifa na utukufu wa bandu baisraeli.”
a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel [God prevails].”
33 Tate na mao ba mwana batishangala kwa makowe ambayo atilongela kunani yake.
Joseph [May he add] and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him,
34 Ndipo Simeoni atikuwabariki na baya kwa Mariamu mao bake, “pekaniya kwa makini! mwana yo atakuwa sababu ya obiya na okoka kwa bandu benge katika Israel na ni ishara ambayo bandu benge bataikana.
and Simeon [Hearing] blessed them, and said to Mary [Rebellion], his mother, “Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel [God prevails], and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 Pia ni upanga wapala kuchoma nafsi yako na mwene, ili kwamba mawaso ya mioyo ya benge yatangike.”
Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
36 Nabii nnwawa akemelwa Ana pia abile mulihekalu. ywembe abile nwawa wa Fanueli boka likabila lya Asheri. Abii na miaka yanambone muno. Naye atitama na nchengowe kwa miaka saba baada ya kobekwa.
There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher [Happy] (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
37 Na ndipo abii mjane kwa miaka themanini na ncheche. Naye abile kwaa boka muhekalu na abile atiyendelea kumuabudu Nnongo pamope na taba roba, kilo na mutwekati.
and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 Na kwa muda woo, aichile palo pabile natumbwa shukuru Nnongo, nalongela husu mwana kwa kila mundu ambaye abile akilenda ukombozi wa Yerusalemu.
Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to Yahweh, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem [City of peace].
39 Pabayomwile kila kile chawapalike panga lingana na saliya ya Ngwana, batibuya Galilaya, mjini kwabe, Nazareti.
When they had accomplished everything required by the Torah ·Teaching· of MarYah [Master Yahweh], they returned into Galilee [District, Circuit], to their town of Nazareth [Branch, Separated one].
40 Mwana atikola, na abii na ngupu, atiyongezeka katika hekima, na neema ya Nnongo yabile kunani yake.
The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Wazazi bake kila mwaka batiyenda Yerusalem kwaajili ya sikukuu ya Pasaka.
His parents went every year to Jerusalem [City of peace] at the festival of the Pesac ·Passover·.
42 Pabile na umri wa miaka komi na ibele, batiyenda kae muda mwafaka kidesturi kwaajili ya sikukuu.
When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem [City of peace] according to the custom of the feast,
43 Baada ya bakia machoba goti kwaajili ya sikukuu, batumbwile buyangana kunyumba. lakini nnalome Yesu atiigala nnchogo mwolo Yerusalem na wazazi bake batangite kwaa.
and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were making teshuvah ·complete return·, the boy Yeshua [Salvation] stayed behind in Jerusalem [City of peace]. Joseph [May he add] and his mother didn’t know it,
44 Batangite kwamba abile mu'kipenga cha babile nabo musafari, batibutuka safari ya lichoba limo, ndipo batumbwile kumpala miongoni mwa anunange na marafiki wabe.
but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Pabashindwile kumpala, batibuya Yerusalem na tumbwa kumpala.
When they didn’t find him, they make teshuvah ·complete return· to Jerusalem [City of peace], looking for him.
46 Itibonekana kwamba baada ya lichoba lya itatu, batikumpata hekaluni, abi atitama katikati ya baalimu, akibapekania na kuwalokiya maswali.
After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.
47 Boti bayowine batishangala na ufahamu wake na majibu gake.
All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 Pmweni, batishangala, mao bake atikumkumbatia, mwanango, namani cha ututendeite nyaa? Pekani, tate boka na nee tutikupala kwa wasiwasi nkolo.”
When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your 'Avikah ·your Father· and I were anxiously looking for you.”
49 Atikuwabakia,'kitumbwe namani kunipala? mwatangite kwaa kwamba lazima nibii ku'nnyumba ya Tate bangu?
He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in 'Avi ·my Father·’s house?”
50 Lakini baelewite kwaa namani chamaanisha kwa maneno galo.
They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
51 Ndipo ayeii pamope nao mpaka kaya Nazareti na abile mtii kwabe. Mao bake abekite makowe goti moyoni mwake.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth [Branch, Separated one]. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Lakini Yesu atiendelea kola katika hekima na kimo, na azidite pendwa na Nnongo na bandu.
And Yeshua [Salvation] increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
