Luke 2
1 But it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census should be made of all the habitable world.
l yogu romi badcianmo Ogusto bo diani k pua sawali o diema nni niba kuli ċɔdili. o cincinli cɔdili bo tieni ya yogu ke kirisus bo tie badcianmo i siri diema n ni.
2 The census itself first took place when Cyrenius had the government of Syria.
u cincinl cɔdli bo tieni ya yogu ke kirisus bo tie badcianmo i siri diema nni.
3 And all went to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his own city:
yua kuli bo ye gedi ban cɔdi wan ñani ya dogu n nni.
4 and Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city Nazareth to Judaea, to David's city, the which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
yeni k josefi bo ñani nasareti k doni galile ki tɔgn nni jude, k pudi betelemi, david dogu, o bo tie David cugli yua i.
5 to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him [as his] wife, she being great with child.
Josefi bo gedi lan kani wan yeni o cikpenga Maari ku pia o tugu. k b pan cɔdi.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days of her giving birth [to her child] were fulfilled,
Ban den ye betelem i k maari t gbaani t maadi.
7 and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him up in swaddling-clothes and laid him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
maari den mali bojaga o cincinmadi ki pin'o i kplaldi k duan'o ti yandi jeditiagu nni kelima bi canba dieli nni yiali den ki ye.
8 And there were shepherds in that country abiding without, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
I kuanni bo kuu li kani ke a yankpaala dua ki guu bi yandi.
9 And lo, an angel of [the] Lord was there by them, and [the] glory of [the] Lord shone around them, and they feared [with] great fear.
K u tienu maleki yendi cua bi kan ku tienu yudandi jiidi b po ke ti jiwaanndi cuo ba.
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not, for behold, I announce to you glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people;
Maleki maadi ba. i daa pia mani jeje n bua pua'yi sawalmanli yu baa tie yua kul pamancianli.
11 for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David's city, who is Christ [the] Lord.
ba fie ti mali dinla David dogu nni wan tie o candaano.
12 And this is the sign to you: ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and lying in a manger.
Ti bo band'o maama nne i ba la i canpandiga k o dua ti yandi jeditiɔgu nni ki piini i kpaldi.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
Ke li yogunu mɔno ki bi la u tienu meleki nba k bi cua ki pugini i yua bo ye yeni po ki bi ji yiini ki dondi u tienu.
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good pleasure in men.
U Tienu yeli n yabdi tanpolu po, o pamangu n ya ye i tinga po nne yeni u nubuakaab po
15 And it came to pass, as the angels departed from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, Let us make our way then now as far as Bethlehem, and let us see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
Ban yin ki gbeni ya yognu k u tienu meleki nba lebidi tanpolu po ka yankpala mɔ boe yeni bi lieba. ti gedi manni Betelemi dogun nni yaal k diidi yaala cua, u Tienu n waani ti yaali.
16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger;
K bi kagini ki gedi l yognu tonma k la yeni i mɔni Maari yeni Josefi yeni ki bipanga yua mali k b taa'ga k duan'ga ti yandi jeditiagu nni.
17 and having seen [it] they made known about the country the thing which had been said to them concerning this child.
A yankpaala n gedi ki la'o, ki guani ki togdi yua kuli u Tienu meleki n den baa pua labaal maam e canpandigi yen po.
18 And all who heard [it] wondered at the things said to them by the shepherds.
Yaba n den songi a yankpaala labaal kuli li de lidiba.
19 But Mary kept all these things [in her mind], pondering [them] in her heart.
Ke maari yi guani ki tiadi o pal nni yala tieni kuli yeni ya maama madi kul.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen, as it had been said to them.
A yankpaala den guani ki lebdi bi yankpaamuagu po i k yin k dondi u tienu yen ban de songi yaala ki gɔ la yaala. U tienu meleki n den maad yaala den tie mɔni
21 And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, which was the name given by the angel before he had been conceived in the womb.
Jesus n den mali l daaniin po k l tie ki ban gedi kɔnd'o, ki bi kɔnd'o ki pun o yel Jesus. Lan yeli k u tienu meleki bo lugdi u po.
22 And when the days were fulfilled for their purifying according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem to present [him] to the Lord
Lan bo buali maam moyisi yikotili nni. L yognu ya pudi l tie taladi ki ban kuani ki canpandiga u kɔnciagu. Lan yognu n pendi ke bi taa Jesus ki gedi yen'o jerusalemi ke pan waan'o u Tienu.
23 (as it is written in the law of [the] Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
dianni u tienu yikotili nni, ki cincinbiga kuli k o tie bonjaga tie u tienu yuu i.
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of [the] Lord: A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.
B bo ye ba ki tieni u Tienu balga yen kpajiemulie i nanni lan bo bual maam u Tienu yikotili nni.
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and [the] Holy Spirit was upon him.
Ja bo ye Jerusalem dogu nni k u yeli tie Simeyɔn. O bu tie yua tiegi k gɔ tie ya nulo tuagi u Tienu sɔnu. O den ye ki daani Israel fiema ki fonŋanba ye yen o.
26 And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see [the] Lord's Christ.
tienu foŋanba de dɔgd'o k u kan kpe gaa la mesi u Tienu tondo.
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law,
Tienu foŋanba n jiidi u po wan gedi l jaandiel nni ki sua ke Jesus danba cua yen o, k ba tieni a bogda nanni simeyɔn yikotili nni lan bo buali maam.
28 he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simeyɔn ga ki biga o nugi nni ki ji yiin i ki dondi u Tienu.
29 Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;
tienu ji ŋa a tuonsɔnlo wan ya caa yeni laafia. a cɔlni a ñɔniannu.
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Nunbu la o candaano ka sɔn'o.
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
Ki a pun'o li papaali ke wan todi ŋanduna. U Tienu meleki.
32 a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.
tie muuyiema i ki ba yendi ŋanduna. wan baa tie Isaraheli yudandi.
33 And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him.
Yen o naa bo ye pamangou Simeyɔn n maad yaala Jesus po.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Lo, this [child] is set for the fall and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against;
Simeyɔn yedi m yeŋanma b po ki madi marri. Nan ya bani ke biga ne ye Isaraheli buolu kuli yaa po i. L bo fidi yaa tie ti po bibaaga bii m yedonma yu ki bi niba ba kpagi.
35 (and even a sword shall go through thine own soul; ) so that [the] thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.
mɔla yaala den duagi bi niba maalima bo dɔgdi fin wani l baa ti tie nani b taa jugi ke muu pundi a pali yen.
36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, daughter of Phanuel, of [the] tribe of Asher, who was far advanced in years, having lived with [her] husband seven years from her virginity,
Tienu tondo mɔ bo ye l kani ke tie puaki k u yeli tie. Ani k u tie Fanial biga ki tie Aser cugl yua. O bo tie puocianmo i. ko bina lile po n bo yeni wan kuni o ja.
37 and herself a widow up to eighty-four years; who did not depart from the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers;
ti. ki ti kali ti pakuadi ke ye o baba ki pan pundi piniini yen bina naa. O ña jandieli nni ki suani u tienu tuonli ki jaani ki gɔ loligi o ñɔba yieni yen ñiagu.
38 and she coming up the same hour gave praise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who waited for redemption in Jerusalem.
li puocianmo mɔ pundi lan yogunu; ki yin k dondi u Tienu k maadi yaba kokul den guu Jerusalemi fiema o janjanbiigu nni.
39 And when they had completed all things according to the law of [the] Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.
Tieni k gbeni nani u Tienu ñɔmaam n den buali maama. ki maari yeni Josefi gɔ lebidi Galile k kun Nasareti b dogu nni.
40 And the child grew and waxed strong [in spirit], filled with wisdom, and God's grace was upon him.
Jesus ji kpedi tonm tonma ki o yanfuonma caa liiga k u gɔ tie u Tienu nulo
41 And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Kuli Jesus baa yeni o naa bo yi tun ki caa Jerusalemi paki jaanmi.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up [to Jerusalem] according to the custom of the feast
yognu ki Jesus den pia piiga n bina lie ko ji yi ŋɔdi o baa yeni o naa ban gedi Jerusalemi paki jaanmi nani lan den bual maama.
43 and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not [of it];
jaanmi n den gbeni ya yognu o baa yeni o naa den gɔ cuo u sani k ji kuni ama k Jesus wani ñindi Jerusalemi kelima bi den kpaan'o kaa la'o.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company that journeyed together, they went a day's journey, and sought him among their relations and acquaintances:
b tieni m maalma ko baa yegi yeni o lieba yaaba ki bi den taani ki cua yen. ki bi mɔ cuo l celi nani da yeli yeni. K b cil k kpaan'o o kpiiba yeni o bankaaba siiga.
45 and not having found him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him.
Ama baa den la'o ki b gɔ lebdi Jerusalemi k bu kpaan'o.
46 And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers and hearing them and asking them questions.
L dataa dali ki bi la'o l jaandieli nni ku kaa l balo maama banda siiga nni k songi ba k gɔ buali ba i buali.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Yaaba bo song'o kuli den ye panmangu yeni wan pia ya nunfanbu o maama gɔ jiima po.
48 And when they saw him they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Child, why hast thou dealt thus with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee distressed.
L den pia o danba o yaalidigu yeni wan kaa naani. O naa den bual'o n biga be ced kaa sɔn ti lani. Mi yeni a baa den ye ti jawaandi nni k kpaan ŋa kaan kuli.
49 And he said to them, Why [is it] that ye have sought me? did ye not know that I ought to be [occupied] in my Father's business?
K Jesus den jiin ba. Be po i ki den kpaani n. I ki bani ki ba sɔni n baa tuona a.
50 And they understood not the thing that he said to them.
Ama bi den k gbadi o maama yeni niinma nni
51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and he was in subjection to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
K Jesus den cua ki ŋɔdi ba ki bi lebdi bi kuli Nasareti. O den cɔln o danba. K u naa den ta yal den tieni kuli k bili o pal nni.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
Jesus den find tonma ko yantiali mɔ gɔ caa liiga o Tienu yen b niba den bua'o boncianla
