5 Ili asimbwe pandwemo no Mariamu, ushe wakwe bhapabhiliye wape ano lwanda.

7 Wapapa umwana wakwe uwahwande, wavwenesya amenda agubha na wagonia mwitori mwanzilela eng'ombe, afwanaje sebhapete enafsi munyumba ezya jenyi.
Wasebeletha indodana yakhe eyingqabutho, wayigoqela ngamalembu, wayilalisa emkolweni, ngoba kwakungelandawo yabo endlini yezihambi.
8 Na ensi yeyela, bhahali adimi bhakhalaga mwipoli na linde ikundi lwao bhatandilunaga nosiku.
Njalo kwakukhona kulelolizwe abelusi ababehlala egangeni futhi belinde umhlambi wabo ebusuku.
9 Umalaika wa GOSI abhafumiye, nanali uzelu wa GOSI wabhakhozizye epande zyonti, bhinjilwa nowoga ogosi.
Njalo khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yema eduze kwabo, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yakhanya ibazingelezele; njalo besaba ngokwesaba okukhulu.
10 Umalaika abhabholele, “Mganje ahigope, afanaje ane embaletela enongwa enyinza eya she engosi yayayibho hwabantu wonti.
Ingilosi yasisithi kubo: Lingesabi; ngoba khangelani, ngitshumayela indaba ezinhle kini ezentokozo enkulu, ezakuba kubantu bonke;
11 Eshe sanyono mnsi eya Daudi! apepwe kwa jili eyahulimwe uwataule wape yu Kristo GOSO!
ngoba lizalelwe lamuhla uMsindisi, onguKristu iNkosi, emzini kaDavida.
12 Na ene ndiyo ndago hwilimwe, mbhahu mwaje umwa umwela bhavwenesyezye amenda ageshiwela agonile mwitori mwelela eng'ombe.
Njalo lokhu kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kini: Lizathola usane lugoqelwe ngamalembu, lulele emkolweni.
13 Nantele bhahali pandwemo nayo omalaika abhinji ajeshi abhamwanya bhahutelela ONGOLOBHE, na ya je,
Njalo kwahle kwaba khona kanye lengilosi ixuku lebutho lasezulwini, lidumisa uNkulunkulu, lisithi:
14 “Ayemehwaje ONGOLOBHE amwanya, na pansi ehwe amani hwabhantu bhabhagalile.”
Udumo kalube kuNkulunkulu kweliphezulu, lokuthula emhlabeni; isifiso esihle ebantwini.
15 Shabha, omalaika ebho na bhasogola abhule hwabho amwanya bhala udimi bhabholene, “Eshe sali mpaka Bethlehemu, tilirole elwo lwali bhombeshe lyati bhonezyezye ONGOLOBHE.”
Kwasekusithi, ingilosi sezisukile kubo zisiya ezulwini, abantu, abangabelusi, bakhulumisana besithi: Ake siye eBhethelehema, sibone leyonto eyenzakeleyo, iNkosi esazise yona.
16 Bhabhalile nanali, bhamwanjile oMariamu no Yusufu, nola umwana umwela agonile mwitori.
Basebesiza ngokuphangisa, bathola oMariya loJosefa, losane lulele emkolweni.
17 Na walipomwona bhafumizye enongwa yabhabholelwe afwatone nomwana oyo.
Sebebonile basebesazisa indawo ezizingelezeleyo ngelizwi ababelitshelwe mayelana lalo umntwana omncane.
18 Wonti bhabhahovwezye bhaswijile hwago gabhobholelwe na dimi.
Labo bonke abakuzwayo bamangala ngezinto ezazikhulunywe ngabelusi kubo.
19 Lelo o Mariamu wazibhaha humwoyo gwakwe.
Kodwa uMariya walondoloza wonke la amazwi, enakana ngawo enhliziyweni yakhe.
20 Bhala adimi bhawelile ohu bhahusomba ONGOLOBHE na hutelile humombo gonti gabhovwezye na galale eshe shabhabholelwe.
Basebebuyela abelusi, bemdumisa bembonga uNkulunkulu ngazo zonke izinto ababezizwile lababezibonile, njengalokho okwakukhulunywe kubo.
21 Hata nazyafishele ensiku nana ezya hutahiri ahetelwe tawa lwakwe Yesu, neshe nahetelwe no malaika sasele abhe lwanda.
Kwathi seziphelile insuku eziyisificaminwembili zokuthi umntwana omncane asokwe, ibizo lakhe laselithiwa nguJesu, elalibizwe yingilosi engakomulwa esiswini.
22 Alafu nazyafishele ensiku hwabho, neshe sheri endogo ya anusa bhabhalile nao mpaka Yerusalemu bhabheshele OGOSI.
Kwathi seziphelele insuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe ngokomlayo kaMozisi, bamletha eJerusalema, ukuze bammise phambi kweNkosi
23 Neshe nshesibwilwe mdogo ya GOSI, “Shila mwana ulume wali lwanda ulwahwanda hwanyinawakwe akwiziwaje Golosu wa GOSI.”
(njengokulotshiweyo emlayweni weNkosi ukuthi konke okwesilisa okuvula isibeletho kuzathiwa kungcwele eNkosini)
24 Bhafumye sadaka neshe sheyajile katika endogo eya GOSI, “Enko nda bhabhele au makind abhenjebha bhabhele.”
lokuthi banikele umhlatshelo njengokutshiwo emlayweni weNkosi, amajuba amabili kumbe amaphuphu amabili enkwilimba.
25 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.
Njalo khangela, kwakukhona eJerusalema umuntu, obizo lakhe linguSimeyoni, njalo lumuntu wayelungile ekhuthele ekukhonzeni, elindele induduzo kaIsrayeli, loMoya oNgcwele wayephezu kwakhe.
26 Yali imalishe abhoneshewe hwakwe ahilile hupepo uzelu aje umwahale saga ehenzaga afwe bila hulole Kristi wa GOSI.
Futhi kwakubonakalisiwe kuye nguMoya oyiNgcwele, ukuthi kayikubona ukufa engakamboni uKristu weNkosi.
27 Isikulimo ahenzele mhatimwibhaiza alongozehwe no pepo uzelu. ambapo ayise bhakwe bhaletile umwana oYesu hubhombele gala gagahanziwuga mkawaida eye ndogo,
Wasengena ethempelini ngoMoya; kwathi abazali bemletha umntwana omncane uJesu, ukuze benze ngaye ngokomkhuba womlayo,
28 Eshi o Simioni aposheye mmakhono gakwe na hulimbe ONGOLOBHE na yanje,
yena wasemthatha wamphatha engalweni zakhe, wabonga uNkulunkulu, wathi:
29 “Eshi nduhusu nemtumwa waho embale mshinza alengane nizu lyaho.
Nkosi, khathesi iyekele inceku yakho ihambe ngokuthula, njengokwelizwi lakho;
30 Afwatanaje amaso gane gahalile uwaule waho,
ngoba amehlo ami alubonile usindiso lwakho
31 Afwanaje uonesha humaso gabhantu bhonti.
olulungisileyo phambi kobuso babantu bonke;
32 Umwahale rukhozyo mataifa na bhe zelu wabhantu bhakwe Israeli.”
ukukhanya kokwembulela abezizwe, lenkazimulo yesizwe sakho uIsrayeli.
33 UYise nonyine wakwe bhali bhaswiga ego gagayangwilwe juu yakwe.
UJosefa lonina basebemangala ngezinto ezatshiwo ngaye.
34 OSimoni wabhasaila abhabhola Mariamu unyina wakwe, “Eye ono abhehwelwe wagwe na bhoshe abhinji bhabali kati Israeli na bhe mbonesyo zyazya yiyangwa.
USimeyoni wasebabusisa, wathi kuMariya unina: Khangela, lo umiselwe ukuwa lokuvuka kwabanengi kuIsrayeli, lokuba yisibonakaliso esizaphikiswa;
35 Nawe hwehwe imaje lwaijila humwoyo gwaho ilizibhoneshe esebho ezya moyo aga bhinji.”
futhi lawe, inkemba izadabula owakho umphefumulo; ukuze imicabango yenhliziyo ezinengi yembulwe.
36 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,
Njalo kwakukhona uAna umprofethikazi, indodakazi kaFanuweli, owesizwe sikaAsheri; wayesekhulile kakhulu, ebehlale lendoda iminyaka eyisikhombisa kusukela ebuntombini bakhe,
37 Wape fwele owemaha amarongo nane na mahaganne. Sasogolo mwibhanza ila aputa usiku no sanya na funje na labhe.
njalo wayengumfelokazi owayengaba leminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lane, engasuki ethempelini, ekhonza ngokuzila ukudla langemikhuleko ebusuku lemini.
38 Oyo afumele sala yeyo asalifizye ONGOLOBHE. Na wonti bhali bhahwenyelezya eshahwaulwe katika Yerusalemu abhafumizyo enongwa zyakwe.
Laye efika ngalelohola wadumisa uNkulunkulu, wakhuluma ngaye kubo bonke ababelindele inkululeko eJerusalema.
39 Basi nabhamala gonti gagalajiziwe aga mndongozi eya GOSi, bhahwelile hu Galilaya, mpaka iboma lwao, Nazareti.
Kwathi sebeqedile konke okungokomlayo weNkosi, babuyela eGalili, emzini wakibo iNazaretha.
40 Ola umwana wakula, na hwonjele amahaa amemile enshinshi, na neema ya NGOLOBHE yali juu yakwe.
Lomntwana omncane wakhula, waqina emoyeni, wagcwala inhlakanipho; lomusa kaNkulunkulu wawuphezu kwakhe.
41 Basi ayise bhakwe bhabhala hu Yerusalemu shila mwaha uwakati uweshikurukuru ya Pasaka.
Njalo abazali bakhe babesiya eJerusalema iminyaka yonke ngomkhosi wephasika.
42 Na fishiye umri wakwe amaha kumi na gabhle bhazubhile neshe sheli emila eye shikurukuru.
Kwathi eseleminyaka elitshumi lambili, sebenyukele eJerusalema njengomkhuba womkhosi,
43 Nabhamalila ensiku wakati uwahwele hwabhoola umwana uYesu asageye hwisaro ohwo hu Yerusalemu na bhayise bhakwe sebhalolene.
njalo sebeziqedile insuku, ekubuyeleni kwabo, umntwana uJesu wasala eJerusalema; njalo uJosefa lonina bengazi;
44 Bhape bhamenyeje bhalipandwemo mshora, bhabhalile enjendo uwisiku lyonti bhanda humwanza mwa mwabho.
kodwa becabanga ukuthi wayesexukwini endleleni, bahamba uhambo losuku, bamdinga phakathi kwezinini labazana labo;
45 Nu sebhamwanga bhahwelile hu Yerusalemu ohu bhahumwanza.
kodwa bengamtholi, babuyela eJerusalema, bemdinga.
46 Yabha na zyafiha ensiku zitatu, bhalola mwibhinza, akheye pahati ya manyizi, abhatejelezya nabhabhozye amaswali.
Kwasekusithi emva kwensuku ezintathu, bamthola ethempelini, ehlezi phakathi kwabafundisi, njalo ebalalela, futhi ebabuza.
47 Wape wonti bhabhamwovwaga bhanswijile uwelewa wakwe na amajibu gakwe.
Njalo bonke ababemuzwa bamangala kakhulu ngolwazi lempendulo zakhe.
48 Na bhalolile, bhanswijile. Nonyina wakwe wabhola, “Mwana wane, mbone otibhombeye eshi? enye, uyise waho nane talili humwanza uzugumie”
Kwathi bembona bamangala; lonina wathi kuye: Mntanami, wenzeleni okunje kithi? Khangela, uyihlo lami besikudinga sidubekile.
49 Wabhabhola, “Yenu mnanza sagamwamenye aje ehwanziwa akhale munyumba eya yise wane?
Wasesithi kubo: Kungani lingidinga? Belingakwazi yini ukuthi kumele ukuthi ngibe sezintweni zikaBaba?
50 Unape sebhalyelewe izu elyo lyabha bhozezye.
Kodwa bona kabaliqedisisanga ilizwi alikhuluma kubo.
51 Hwiho pandwemo nabho mpaka hu Nazareti wape ali abeshimu, onyina agabheshele ego gonti humwoyo gwakwe.
Wasesehla labo, weza eNazaretha; wazehlisela ngaphansi kwabo. Unina wasegcina zonke lezizinto enhliziyweni yakhe.
52 Wape uYesu wazidi ahwonjelele katika hekima kimo, wapendezya ONGOLOBHE na bhantu.
UJesu waseqhubeka enhlakanipheni lekukhuleni, lekuthandekeni kuNkulunkulu lebantwini.
