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.
Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
2 Ulelere kibatiza nfari na iwasu kubi na kiriniyas wandi ugumuna nSiriya.
This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 Ko gha nya udu kagbir mye idi nyertu ghe bara kibatiza.
All went to enroll themselves, everyone 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.
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because 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 enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
6 Nene uduru kubi na iwadi kikane, kubi nmaru ngono da ghe.
While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
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.
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 Kusari kone, anan liwalli ninab wa duku, alenge na iwa sosin nfong iwadi ncaa ligozi nakam nin kiitik.
There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 Kpak unan kadura Ncikilari nuzu kiti mine, ngongong Kutelle din nbaltu kiyitik mine, fiu da noni.
Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
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.
The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
11 Kitimone imarra munu unan tucu, nanya kagbir Dauda! Amere Kristi Cikilari!
For there is born to you today, in David’s city, 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.”
This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
13 Kpak nin unan kadura Kutelle a soja kiteni kani gbardang wan duku nsu liru kutelle idin su,
Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army 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, on earth peace, good will toward 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.”
When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 Ido kikane dedei ise Maryamu ku nin Yusufu, iyene gono nonn kiti nlii nimonli nakame.
They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
17 Na iyene nani, ita anit yinno imon ile na ibelle nani kitene ngono kane.
When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18 Vat nalenge na iwa lanza ikifo tinnu, bara ile imon na ubelle nani kiti na nan liwali ninah.
All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to 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 sayings, pondering 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.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told 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.
When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given 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.
When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up 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 who 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 said 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.
Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
26 Awa se uleli uyinno kiti nruhu ulau, na uwa woroghe, na ame ba kuu ba, sei ayene Cikilari Kristi.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
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.
He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
28 Ame Simeon ne sereghe nin nacara mye, asu liru Kutelle anin woro,
then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
29 “Nene na kucin fe nya sheu, Cikilari, bara uliru ligbulang fe.
“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
30 Bara iyizi nighe nyene utucu fe,
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 Ulenge na uwa keele nanya nyenju nanit vat.
which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 Ame ba so nkanan bara upunu kidegen kiti nalumai, aba so ngongon nanit mye Isiraila.”
a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Ucif nin nnah nngone kiffo tinu kitene nile imon na idin kitin gone.
Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning 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.
Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 Tutun Kusangali ba wariu kidowo fe, bara ukpilizu nibinai gbardang bba nuzu fong.”
Yes, a sword will 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,
There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having 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 had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 Nkoni kube ada kiti mine a cizina ugodiya kiti Kutelle, asu uliru kitene ngone kiti nko gha, alenge na idin ncaa ntucu Urushelima.
Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking 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.
When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
40 Kinin gone kunno ata likara, njinjin kpina ku nsheu Kutelle so liti mye.
The child was growing, and was becoming 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).
His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
42 Kubi na awa duru akus likure inung tutun nya kubi nalada a kubi nbuki.
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 fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know it,
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 him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Na iseghe ba, inung kpilla udu Urushelimma, itunna npiziru ghe kikane.
When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
46 Iduru ayiri ataat iseghe nanya kutyi nliran, asosin kiyitik na nan nyiru, inlanzu nani nin ntinu nani.
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 Vat nalenge na iwa lanza ghe iwa kiffo tinu, bbara uyiru nin nkawu mye.
All who heard him were amazed 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.”
When they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”
49 A woro nani, “Iyaghari nta idin pizirie? na anug yiru ba uso yi gbasari nso kilari Kutelle?”
He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did not you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 Bara na inung nyinno ile imon na tigbulang mye din bellu ba.
They did not understand the saying 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. He was subject 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 stature, and in favor with God and men.
