Luke 2
1 NOW it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole land should be registered.
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 (And this first enrolment was made by Cyrenius, afterwards governor of Syria)
u cincinl cɔdli bo tieni ya yogu ke kirisus bo tie badcianmo i siri diema nni.
3 And all went to be registered, every one to his own city.
yua kuli bo ye gedi ban cɔdi wan ñani ya dogu n nni.
4 Then Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, 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 enregistered with Mary, the wife espoused to him, who was big 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, that her time was up, that she should be delivered.
Ban den ye betelem i k maari t gbaani t maadi.
7 And she brought forth a son, her first-born, and wrapped him in swaddling-clothes, and laid him in a 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 in the open air, and keeping guard over their flock by night.
I kuanni bo kuu li kani ke a yankpaala dua ki guu bi yandi.
9 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were exceedingly affrighted.
K u tienu maleki yendi cua bi kan ku tienu yudandi jiidi b po ke ti jiwaanndi cuo ba.
10 And the angel said unto them, Be not affrighted: for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.
Maleki maadi ba. i daa pia mani jeje n bua pua'yi sawalmanli yu baa tie yua kul pamancianli.
11 Because this day there is born for you a Saviour, which is Messiah, the Lord, in the city of David.
ba fie ti mali dinla David dogu nni wan tie o candaano.
12 And this shall be a sign for you; Ye shall find the babe in swaddling-clothes, 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 appeared 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 in the highest heavens to God! and upon earth, peace! towards men complacence.
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 went from them into heaven, the men, the shepherds, said also to each other, Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath happened, which the Lord hath 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 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 when they saw it, they made a public report of the declaration delivered to them respecting 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, marvelled at the things told them by the shepherds.
Yaba n den songi a yankpaala labaal kuli li de lidiba.
19 But Mary carefully preserved all these declarations, laying them together in her heart, in order to apprehend their meaning.
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 the things which they had heard and seen, exactly as had been told 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 the child, his name also was called JESUS, the name imposed by the angel before he was 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 of her purification were accomplished 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 child, that openeth 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 prescribed 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 at Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost 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 had been divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, till he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.
tienu foŋanba de dɔgd'o k u kan kpe gaa la mesi u Tienu tondo.
27 And he came by the spirit into the temple; just as the parents were bringing in the child Jesus, that they might do according to what was the custom of the law concerning him;
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 and he took 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 Now dismiss thy servant, Lord, according to thy word, in peace;
tienu ji ŋa a tuonsɔnlo wan ya caa yeni laafia. a cɔlni a ñɔniannu.
30 for my eyes have seen thy salvation,
Nunbu la o candaano ka sɔn'o.
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all people.
Ki a pun'o li papaali ke wan todi ŋanduna. U Tienu meleki.
32 A light to give revelation to the Gentiles, and glory to thy people Israel.
tie muuyiema i ki ba yendi ŋanduna. wan baa tie Isaraheli yudandi.
33 And Joseph and his mother were amazed at the things spoken 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, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall, and rising again of many in Israel; and for a marked object to be 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 (so shall a dart pierce through thy own soul) that the reasonings of many hearts may be laid open,
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 Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asser: she was far advanced in old age, having lived but seven years with a husband, from her virgin state:
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 though she was now a widow, of about eighty-four years, who departed not from the temple, attending the divine service, with fastings and prayers night and day:
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 at the very same moment coming up, she also in turn confessed the Lord, and spake of him to all who were expecting 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 finished all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, into 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 became endued with great powers of spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God 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 annually 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, 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 when they had concluded the days, as they were returning, the child Jesus remained at Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother knew it not:
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, they went a day’s journey; and they 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 finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of 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 doctors, both 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 in a transport of admiration, 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 struck with surprise; and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou behaved to us in this manner? lo! thy father and I have been seeking thee in anguish of heart.
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 unto them, Wherefore did ye seek me? did you not know, that I must be occupied with my Father’s affairs?
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 meaning of what he spake to them.
Ama bi den k gbadi o maama yeni niinma nni
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was in subjection to them: though his mother preserved all these sayings 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
