Luke 2
1 And it came to passe in those dayes, that there came a decree from Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed.
Awo olwatuuka mu biseera ebyo, Kayisaali Agusito n’ayisa etteeka abantu bonna beewandiisa.
2 (This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was gouernour of Syria.)
Okubala kuno kwe kwasooka okubaawo ku mulembe gwa Kuleniyo nga ye gavana w’Obusuuli.
3 Therefore went all to be taxed, euery man to his owne Citie.
Bonna ne bagenda okwewandiisa, buli muntu mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe.
4 And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid, )
Awo Yusufu n’ava e Nazaaleesi eky’e Ggaliraaya, n’agenda mu kibuga kya Dawudi ekiyitibwa Besirekemu eky’e Buyudaaya, kubanga yali wa mu kika kya Dawudi,
5 To bee taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife, which was with childe.
yeewandiise ne Maliyamu eyali olubuto, oyo gwe yali ayogereza.
6 And so it was, that while they were there, the daies were accomplished that shee shoulde be deliuered,
Naye bwe baali bali eyo ekiseera kya Maliyamu eky’okuzaala ne kituuka.
7 And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne.
N’azaala omwana we omubereberye omulenzi, n’amubikka mu bugoye, n’amuzazika mu lutiba ente mwe ziriira, kubanga tebaafuna kifo mu nnyumba y’abagenyi.
8 And there were in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke.
Mu kiro ekyo waaliwo abasumba abaali mu kitundu ekyo kye kimu ku ttale nga bakuuma endiga zaabwe.
9 And loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide.
Awo malayika wa Mukama n’abalabikira, ne waakaayakana n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama, ne batya nnyo.
10 Then the Angel saide vnto them, Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to all the people,
Malayika n’abagumya nti, “Temutya, kubanga mbaleetedde amawulire amalungi ag’essanyu eringi, era nga ga bantu bonna.
11 That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord.
Kubanga Omulokozi, ye Kristo Mukama waffe azaaliddwa leero mu kibuga kya Dawudi.
12 And this shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch.
Ku kino kwe munaamutegeerera: Mujja kulaba omwana omuwere, ng’abikkiddwa mu ngoye, ng’azazikiddwa mu lutiba lw’ente.”
13 And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praising God, and saying,
Amangwago eggye lya bamalayika ab’omu ggulu ne beegatta ne malayika oyo ne batendereza Katonda nga bagamba nti,
14 Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will.
“Ekitiibwa kibe eri Katonda Ali Waggulu ennyo. N’emirembe gibe mu nsi eri abantu Katonda b’asiima.”
15 And it came to passe whe the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, that the shepheards sayde one to another, Let vs goe then vnto Beth-leem, and see this thing that is come to passe which the Lord hath shewed vnto vs.
Awo bamalayika bwe baamala okuddayo mu ggulu, abasumba ne bateesa nti, “Tugende e Besirekemu tulabe kino ekibaddewo, Mukama ky’atutegeezezza.”
16 So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.
Ne bayanguwa ne bagenda, ne balaba Maliyamu ne Yusufu, n’omwana omuwere ng’azazikiddwa mu lutiba lw’ente.
17 And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe.
Awo abasumba ne bategeeza bye baalabye, n’ebya bategeezeddwa ebikwata ku mwana oyo.
18 And all that heard it, wondred at ye things which were tolde them of the shepheards.
Bonna abaawulira ebigambo by’abasumba ne beewuunya nnyo.
19 But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred them in her heart.
Naye Maliyamu n’akuumanga ebigambo ebyo mu mutima gwe era ng’abirowoozaako nnyo.
20 And the shepheardes returned glorifiyng and praising God, for all that they had heard and seene as it was spoken vnto them.
Awo abasumba ne baddayo gye balundira ebisibo byabwe, nga bagulumiza era nga batendereza Katonda, olw’ebyo byonna bye baawulira era ne bye baalaba nga bwe baali bategeezeddwa.
21 And when the eight daies were accomplished, that they shoulde circumcise the childe, his name was then called Iesus, which was named of the Angell, before he was conceiued in the wombe.
Olunaku olw’omunaana olw’okukomolerwako bwe lwatuuka, n’atuumibwa erinnya Yesu, malayika lye yayogera nga Yesu tannaba kuba mu lubuto lwa nnyina.
22 And when the daies of her purification after the Lawe of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lord,
Awo ekiseera bwe kyatuuka Maliyamu okugenda mu Yeekaalu atukuzibwe, ng’amateeka ga Musa bwe galagira ne batwala Yesu e Yerusaalemi okumuwaayo eri Mukama.
23 (As it is written in the Lawe of the Lord, Euery man childe that first openeth ye wombe, shalbe called holy to the Lord)
Kubanga mu mateeka ago, Katonda yalagira nti, “Omwana omubereberye bw’anaabanga omulenzi, anaaweebwangayo eri Mukama.”
24 And to giue an oblation, as it is commanded in the Lawe of the Lord, a paire of turtle doues, or two yong pigeons.
Era mu kiseera kye kimu bakadde ba Yesu ne bawaayo ssaddaaka amateeka nga bwe galagira okuwaayo amayiba abiri oba enjiibwa bbiri.
25 And behold, there was a man in Hierusalem, whose name was Simeon: this man was iust, and feared God, and waited for the consolation of Israel, and the holy Ghost was vpon him.
Ku lunaku olwo, waaliwo omusajja erinnya lye Simyoni, eyabeeranga mu Yerusaalemi, nga mutuukirivu, ng’atya Katonda, era ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu, ng’alindirira okusanyusibwa kwa Isirayiri.
26 And it was declared to him from God by the holy Ghost, that he shoulde not see death, before he had seene that Anointed of the Lord.
Kubanga yali abikkuliddwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu nti tagenda kufa nga tannalaba ku Kristo, Omulokozi.
27 And he came by the motion of the spirit into the Temple, and when the parents brought in the babe Iesus, to do for him after the custome of the Lawe,
Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’amuluŋŋamya okujja mu Yeekaalu. Maliyamu ne Yusufu bwe baaleeta Omwana Yesu okumuwaayo eri Mukama ng’amateeka bwe galagira, ne Simyoni naye yaliwo.
28 Then hee tooke him in his armes, and praised God, and sayd,
Simyoni n’ajja n’asitula Omwana mu mikono gye, n’atendereza Katonda ng’agamba nti,
29 Lord, nowe lettest thou thy seruaunt depart in peace, according to thy woorde,
“Mukama wange, kaakano osiibule omuweereza wo mirembe, ng’ekigambo kyo bwe kigamba.
30 For mine eyes haue seene thy saluation,
Kubanga amaaso gange galabye Obulokozi bwo,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,
bwe wateekateeka mu maaso g’abantu bonna,
32 A light to be reueiled to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
okuba Omusana ogw’okwakira amawanga. N’okuleetera abantu bo Abayisirayiri ekitiibwa!”
33 And Ioseph and his mother marueiled at those things, which were spoken touching him.
Kitaawe w’omwana ne nnyina ne beewuunya ebigambo ebyayogerwa ku Yesu.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and saide vnto Mary his mother, Beholde, this childe is appointed for the fall and rising againe of many in Israel, and for a signe which shalbe spoken against,
Awo Simyoni n’abasabira omukisa. N’alyoka n’agamba Maliyamu nti, “Omwana ono bangi mu Isirayiri tebagenda kumukkiriza, era alireetera bangi okugwa n’abalala ne bayimusibwa.
35 (Yea and a sworde shall pearce through thy soule) that the thoughts of many heartes may be opened.
Era naawe ennaku eri ng’ekitala erikufumita omutima, n’ebirowoozo by’omu mitima gy’abantu birimanyibwa.”
36 And there was a Prophetesse, one Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser, which was of a great age, after she had liued with an husband seuen yeeres from her virginitie:
Waaliwo nnabbi omukazi, ayitibwa Ana, muwala wa Fanweri, ow’omu kika kya Aseri, era nga mukadde nnyo, eyafumbirwa nga muwala muto n’amala ne bba emyaka musanvu gyokka, bba n’afa,
37 And she was widowe about foure score and foure yeeres, and went not out of the Temple, but serued God with fastings and prayers, night and day.
n’asigala nga nnamwandu. Mu kiseera kino yali yaakamala emyaka kinaana mu ena, era teyavanga mu Yeekaalu ng’asiiba n’okwegayiriranga Katonda emisana n’ekiro.
38 She then coming at the same instant vpon them, confessed likewise the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Hierusalem.
Awo Ana mu kiseera ekyo yali ayimiridde okumpi ne Maliyamu ne Yusufu, naye n’atandika okutendereza Katonda ng’amwogerako eri abo bonna abaali balindirira okununulibwa kwa Yerusaalemi.
39 And when they had performed all thinges according to the lawe of the Lord, they returned into Galile to their owne citie Nazareth.
Awo bakadde ba Yesu bwe baamala okutuukiriza byonna ng’amateeka ga Mukama bwe galagira, ne baddayo e Nazaaleesi eky’omu Ggaliraaya.
40 And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in Spirit, and was filled with wisedome, and the grace of God was with him.
Omwana n’akula, n’aba w’amaanyi, n’ajjuzibwa amagezi n’ekisa kya Katonda kyali ku ye.
41 Nowe his parents went to Hierusalem euery yeere, at the feast of the Passeouer.
Bakadde ba Yesu buli mwaka bagendanga mu Yerusaalemi ku Mbaga y’Okuyitako.
42 And when hee was twelue yeere olde, and they were come vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast,
Awo Yesu bwe yaweza emyaka kkumi n’ebiri egy’obukulu n’ayambuka e Yerusaalemi ne bakadde be ku mbaga, nga empisa yaabwe bwe yali.
43 And had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother,
Awo embaga ng’ewedde, ne bakyusa okuddayo ewaabwe, naye omulenzi Yesu n’asigala mu Yerusaalemi, naye bazadde be ne batakimanya.
44 But they supposing, that he had bene in the company, went a dayes iourney, and sought him among their kinsfolke, and acquaintance.
Kubanga baalowooza nti ali ne bannaabwe mu kibiina ekirala, ekiro ekyo bwe bataamulaba, ne bamunoonya mu kibiina omwali baganda baabwe ne mikwano gyabwe.
45 And when they found him not, they turned backe to Hierusalem, and sought him.
Bwe bataamulaba kwe kuddayo e Yerusaalemi nga bamunoonya.
46 And it came to passe three dayes after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the mids of the doctours, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
Awo nga baakamunoonyeza ennaku ssatu, ne bamusanga ng’atudde mu Yeekaalu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ng’abawuliriza awamu n’okubabuuza ebibuuzo.
47 And all that heard him, were astonied at his vnderstanding and answeres.
Bonna abaali bamuwuliriza ne beewuunya nnyo olw’amagezi ge n’okuddamu kwe.
48 So when they sawe him, they were amased, and his mother said vnto him, Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee with very heauie hearts.
Awo bazadde be bwe baamulaba ne beewuunya nnyo, nnyina n’amugamba nti, “Mwana waffe otukoze ki kino? Kitaawo nange tweraliikiridde nnyo nga tukunoonya!”
49 Then said he vnto them, Howe is it that ye sought me? knewe ye not that I must goe about my Fathers busines?
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mubadde munnoonyeza ki? Temwategedde nga kiŋŋwanidde okukola ebintu bya Kitange?”
50 But they vnderstoode not the word that he spake to them.
Naye ne batategeera bigambo ebyo bye yabagamba.
51 Then hee went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
N’asituka n’agenda nabo e Nazaaleesi, n’abagonderanga; kyokka nnyina ebigambo ebyo byonna n’abikuuma mu mutima gwe.
52 And Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.
Awo Yesu n’akula mu mubiri, mu magezi, era n’alaba ekisa mu maaso ga Katonda ne mu maaso g’abantu.
