Luke 2
1 Just at this time an edict was issued by Caesar Augustus for the registration of the whole Empire.
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 It was the first registration made during the governorship of Quirinius in 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 the town to which he belonged.
yua kuli bo ye gedi ban cɔdi wan ñani ya dogu n nni.
4 So Joseph went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judaea, to David's town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage 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 have himself registered together with Mary, who was betrothed to him and was with child.
Josefi bo gedi lan kani wan yeni o cikpenga Maari ku pia o tugu. k b pan cɔdi.
6 But while they were there, her full time came,
Ban den ye betelem i k maari t gbaani t maadi.
7 and she gave birth to her first-born son, and wrapped Him round, 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 Now there were shepherds in the same part of the country, keeping watch over their sheep by night in the open fields,
I kuanni bo kuu li kani ke a yankpaala dua ki guu bi yandi.
9 when suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they were filled with terror.
K u tienu maleki yendi cua bi kan ku tienu yudandi jiidi b po ke ti jiwaanndi cuo ba.
10 But the angel said to them, "Put away all fear; for I am bringing you good news of great joy--joy for all the People.
Maleki maadi ba. i daa pia mani jeje n bua pua'yi sawalmanli yu baa tie yua kul pamancianli.
11 For a Saviour who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David.
ba fie ti mali dinla David dogu nni wan tie o candaano.
12 And this is the token for you: you will 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 immediately there was with the angel a multitude of the army of Heaven 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 be to God in the highest Heavens, And on earth peace among men who please Him!"
U Tienu yeli n yabdi tanpolu po, o pamangu n ya ye i tinga po nne yeni u nubuakaab po
15 Then, as soon as the angels had left them and returned to Heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go over as far as Bethlehem and see this that has happened, 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 So they made haste and came and found Mary and Joseph, with 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 the child, they told what had been said to them about Him;
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 listened were astonished at what the shepherds told them.
Yaba n den songi a yankpaala labaal kuli li de lidiba.
19 But Mary treasured up all these things, often dwelling on them in her mind.
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 that they had heard and seen in accordance with the announcement made 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 When eight days had passed and the time for circumcising Him had come, He was called JESUS, the name given Him by the angel before His conception 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 for their purification appointed by the Law of Moses had passed, they took Him up 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 first-born male 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 they also offered a sacrifice as commanded 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 Now there was a man in Jerusalem of the name of Symeon, an upright and God-fearing man, who was waiting for 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 To him it had been revealed by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death until he had seen the Lord's Anointed One.
tienu foŋanba de dɔgd'o k u kan kpe gaa la mesi u Tienu tondo.
27 Led by the Spirit he came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do with regard to 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 took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
Simeyɔn ga ki biga o nugi nni ki ji yiin i ki dondi u Tienu.
29 "Now, O Sovereign Lord, Thou dost send Thy servant away in peace, in fulfilment of Thy word,
tienu ji ŋa a tuonsɔnlo wan ya caa yeni laafia. a cɔlni a ñɔniannu.
30 Because mine eyes have seen Thy salvation,
Nunbu la o candaano ka sɔn'o.
31 Which Thou hast made ready in the sight of all nations--
Ki a pun'o li papaali ke wan todi ŋanduna. U Tienu meleki.
32 A light to shine upon the Gentiles, And the glory of Thy people Israel."
tie muuyiema i ki ba yendi ŋanduna. wan baa tie Isaraheli yudandi.
33 And while the child's father and mother were wondering at the words of Symeon concerning Him,
Yen o naa bo ye pamangou Simeyɔn n maad yaala Jesus po.
34 Symeon blessed them and said to Mary the mother, "This child is appointed for the falling and the uprising of many in Israel and for a token 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 and a sword will pierce through your own soul also; that the reasonings in many hearts may be revealed."
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 There was also Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, belonging to the tribe of Asher. She was of a very great age, having had after her maidenhood seven years of married life,
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 then being a widow of eighty-four years. She was never absent from the Temple, but worshipped, by day and by night, with fasting and prayer.
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 coming up just at that moment, she gave thanks to God, and spoke about the child to all who were expecting the deliverance of 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 Then, as soon as they had accomplished all that the Law required, they returned to Galilee to their own town of 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 strong and full of wisdom, and the favour of God rested upon Him.
Jesus ji kpedi tonm tonma ki o yanfuonma caa liiga k u gɔ tie u Tienu nulo
41 Now His parents used to go up year by year 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 as was customary at the time of the Feast, and,
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 after staying the full number of days, when they started back home the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not discover this,
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 travelling company, they proceeded a day's journey. Then they searched up and down for Him among their relatives 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 but being unable to find Him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for Him.
Ama baa den la'o ki b gɔ lebdi Jerusalemi k bu kpaan'o.
46 On the third day they found Him in the Temple sitting among the Rabbis, both listening to 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 while all who heard Him were astonished at His intelligence and at the answers He gave.
Yaaba bo song'o kuli den ye panmangu yeni wan pia ya nunfanbu o maama gɔ jiima po.
48 When they saw Him, they were smitten with amazement, and His mother said to Him, "My child, why have you behaved thus to us? Your father and I have been searching for you in anguish."
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 "Why is it that you have been searching for me?" He replied; "did you not know that it is my duty to be engaged upon 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 But they did not understand the significance of these words.
Ama bi den k gbadi o maama yeni niinma nni
51 Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was always obedient to them; but His mother carefully treasured up all these incidents in her memory.
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 as Jesus grew older He gained in both wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Jesus den find tonma ko yantiali mɔ gɔ caa liiga o Tienu yen b niba den bua'o boncianla
