< Luke 2 >

1 Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
Enku zila endajizyo zyafumile hwa Kaisari Agusto ya je esimbwe eye matawa aga bhantu wonti mnsi.
2 This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Hii ilikuwa ene ebabhe ya hwande yehasimbwilwe epo Krenio nali liwali wa hushamu.
3 All went to enrol themselves, everyone to his own city.
Abhantu wonti bhabhalile ahwinsimbisizye shila muntu amwao.
4 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,
UYusufu wape asogoye hu galilaya afume hushijiji sha hu Nazareti azubhile abhale huu Yudea hadi humji ugwa Daudi, gukwiziwa Bethelehemu, afwatanaje umwahale wahutayari namwao abhahwa Daudi.
5 to enrol himself with Miriam, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
Ili asimbwe pandwemo no Mariamu, ushe wakwe bhapabhiliye wape ano lwanda.
6 While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
Shabha katika akhale ohwo ensiku zyakwe ezya pape zya fishile.
7 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.
Wapapa umwana wakwe uwahwande, wavwenesya amenda agubha na wagonia mwitori mwanzilela eng'ombe, afwanaje sebhapete enafsi munyumba ezya jenyi.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Na ensi yeyela, bhahali adimi bhakhalaga mwipoli na linde ikundi lwao bhatandilunaga nosiku.
9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Umalaika wa GOSI abhafumiye, nanali uzelu wa GOSI wabhakhozizye epande zyonti, bhinjilwa nowoga ogosi.
10 The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
Umalaika abhabholele, “Mganje ahigope, afanaje ane embaletela enongwa enyinza eya she engosi yayayibho hwabantu wonti.
11 For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Saviour, who is Messiah the Lord.
Eshe sanyono mnsi eya Daudi! apepwe kwa jili eyahulimwe uwataule wape yu Kristo GOSO!
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
Na ene ndiyo ndago hwilimwe, mbhahu mwaje umwa umwela bhavwenesyezye amenda ageshiwela agonile mwitori mwelela eng'ombe.
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
Nantele bhahali pandwemo nayo omalaika abhinji ajeshi abhamwanya bhahutelela ONGOLOBHE, na ya je,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will towards men.”
“Ayemehwaje ONGOLOBHE amwanya, na pansi ehwe amani hwabhantu bhabhagalile.”
15 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.”
Shabha, omalaika ebho na bhasogola abhule hwabho amwanya bhala udimi bhabholene, “Eshe sali mpaka Bethlehemu, tilirole elwo lwali bhombeshe lyati bhonezyezye ONGOLOBHE.”
16 They came with haste and found both Miriam and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Bhabhalile nanali, bhamwanjile oMariamu no Yusufu, nola umwana umwela agonile mwitori.
17 When they saw it, they publicised widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Na walipomwona bhafumizye enongwa yabhabholelwe afwatone nomwana oyo.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Wonti bhabhahovwezye bhaswijile hwago gabhobholelwe na dimi.
19 But Miriam kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Lelo o Mariamu wazibhaha humwoyo gwakwe.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Bhala adimi bhawelile ohu bhahusomba ONGOLOBHE na hutelile humombo gonti gabhovwezye na galale eshe shabhabholelwe.
21 When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Yeshua, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Hata nazyafishele ensiku nana ezya hutahiri ahetelwe tawa lwakwe Yesu, neshe nahetelwe no malaika sasele abhe lwanda.
22 When the days of their purification according to the Torah of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
Alafu nazyafishele ensiku hwabho, neshe sheri endogo ya anusa bhabhalile nao mpaka Yerusalemu bhabheshele OGOSI.
23 (as it is written in the Torah of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
Neshe nshesibwilwe mdogo ya GOSI, “Shila mwana ulume wali lwanda ulwahwanda hwanyinawakwe akwiziwaje Golosu wa GOSI.”
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the Torah of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
Bhafumye sadaka neshe sheyajile katika endogo eya GOSI, “Enko nda bhabhele au makind abhenjebha bhabhele.”
25 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.
Enya, pala payerusalemu palinomntu itawa lyakwe akwiziwaga Simoni. Umuntu ono alihwelyoli na humpute ONGOLOBHE. Umwahole agolaga ya zizya wa Israeli, na upepo uzelu ali pamwana yakwe.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.
Yali imalishe abhoneshewe hwakwe ahilile hupepo uzelu aje umwahale saga ehenzaga afwe bila hulole Kristi wa GOSI.
27 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Yeshua, that they might do concerning him according to the requirement of the Torah,
Isikulimo ahenzele mhatimwibhaiza alongozehwe no pepo uzelu. ambapo ayise bhakwe bhaletile umwana oYesu hubhombele gala gagahanziwuga mkawaida eye ndogo,
28 then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
Eshi o Simioni aposheye mmakhono gakwe na hulimbe ONGOLOBHE na yanje,
29 “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
“Eshi nduhusu nemtumwa waho embale mshinza alengane nizu lyaho.
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
Afwatanaje amaso gane gahalile uwaule waho,
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
Afwanaje uonesha humaso gabhantu bhonti.
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
Umwahale rukhozyo mataifa na bhe zelu wabhantu bhakwe Israeli.”
33 Joseph and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
UYise nonyine wakwe bhali bhaswiga ego gagayangwilwe juu yakwe.
34 Simeon blessed them, and said to Miriam, 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.
OSimoni wabhasaila abhabhola Mariamu unyina wakwe, “Eye ono abhehwelwe wagwe na bhoshe abhinji bhabali kati Israeli na bhe mbonesyo zyazya yiyangwa.
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
Nawe hwehwe imaje lwaijila humwoyo gwaho ilizibhoneshe esebho ezya moyo aga bhinji.”
36 There was one Hannah, a prophetess, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
Ahali ukuwa ushe itawa lyakwe Ana uledu wa Fanueli wa shikholo sha Asheri. Nu umri wakwe alina maha minji. Akheye nolume amaha saba baada eyelendu wakwe,
37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.
Wape fwele owemaha amarongo nane na mahaganne. Sasogolo mwibhanza ila aputa usiku no sanya na funje na labhe.
38 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.
Oyo afumele sala yeyo asalifizye ONGOLOBHE. Na wonti bhali bhahwenyelezya eshahwaulwe katika Yerusalemu abhafumizyo enongwa zyakwe.
39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Torah of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
Basi nabhamala gonti gagalajiziwe aga mndongozi eya GOSi, bhahwelile hu Galilaya, mpaka iboma lwao, Nazareti.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Ola umwana wakula, na hwonjele amahaa amemile enshinshi, na neema ya NGOLOBHE yali juu yakwe.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
Basi ayise bhakwe bhabhala hu Yerusalemu shila mwaha uwakati uweshikurukuru ya Pasaka.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
Na fishiye umri wakwe amaha kumi na gabhle bhazubhile neshe sheli emila eye shikurukuru.
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Yeshua stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,
Nabhamalila ensiku wakati uwahwele hwabhoola umwana uYesu asageye hwisaro ohwo hu Yerusalemu na bhayise bhakwe sebhalolene.
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him amongst their relatives and acquaintances.
Bhape bhamenyeje bhalipandwemo mshora, bhabhalile enjendo uwisiku lyonti bhanda humwanza mwa mwabho.
45 When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
Nu sebhamwanga bhahwelile hu Yerusalemu ohu bhahumwanza.
46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
Yabha na zyafiha ensiku zitatu, bhalola mwibhinza, akheye pahati ya manyizi, abhatejelezya nabhabhozye amaswali.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Wape wonti bhabhamwovwaga bhanswijile uwelewa wakwe na amajibu gakwe.
48 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.”
Na bhalolile, bhanswijile. Nonyina wakwe wabhola, “Mwana wane, mbone otibhombeye eshi? enye, uyise waho nane talili humwanza uzugumie”
49 He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
Wabhabhola, “Yenu mnanza sagamwamenye aje ehwanziwa akhale munyumba eya yise wane?
50 They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Unape sebhalyelewe izu elyo lyabha bhozezye.
51 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.
Hwiho pandwemo nabho mpaka hu Nazareti wape ali abeshimu, onyina agabheshele ego gonti humwoyo gwakwe.
52 And Yeshua increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
Wape uYesu wazidi ahwonjelele katika hekima kimo, wapendezya ONGOLOBHE na bhantu.
