Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days, there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world be enrolled —
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 this enrolment first came to pass when Cyrenius was governor of Syria —
u cincinl cɔdli bo tieni ya yogu ke kirisus bo tie badcianmo i siri diema nni.
3 and all were going to be enrolled, each to his proper 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 of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, that is called Bethlehem, because of his being 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 enrol himself with Mary his betrothed wife, being 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, in their being there, the days were fulfilled for her bringing forth,
Ban den ye betelem i k maari t gbaani t maadi.
7 and she brought forth her son — the first-born, and wrapped him up, and laid him down in the manger, because there was not for them a place in the guest-chamber.
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 the same region, lodging in the field, and keeping the night-watches over their flock,
I kuanni bo kuu li kani ke a yankpaala dua ki guu bi yandi.
9 and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood over them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared a great fear.
K u tienu maleki yendi cua bi kan ku tienu yudandi jiidi b po ke ti jiwaanndi cuo ba.
10 And the messenger said to them, 'Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that 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 because there was born to you to-day a Saviour — who is Christ the Lord — in the city of David,
ba fie ti mali dinla David dogu nni wan tie o candaano.
12 and this [is] to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped up, lying in the 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 came with the messenger 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 to God, and upon earth peace, among men — good will.'
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, when the messengers were gone away from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said unto one another, 'We may go over indeed unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that hath come to pass, that the Lord did make 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, having hasted, 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, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the 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, did wonder concerning the things spoken by the shepherds unto them;
Yaba n den songi a yankpaala labaal kuli li de lidiba.
19 and Mary was preserving all these things, pondering in her heart;
Ke maari yi guani ki tiadi o pal nni yala tieni kuli yeni ya maama madi kul.
20 and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God, for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken unto 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 to circumcise the child, then was his name called Jesus, having been so called by the messenger before his being 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 their purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present 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 hath been written in the Law of the Lord, — 'Every male opening a 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 give a sacrifice, according to that 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 lo, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [is] Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the comforting 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 hath been divinely told him by the Holy Spirit — not to see death before he may see the Christ of the Lord.
tienu foŋanba de dɔgd'o k u kan kpe gaa la mesi u Tienu tondo.
27 And he came in the Spirit to the temple, and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for their doing according to the custom of the law regarding 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 then he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and he said,
Simeyɔn ga ki biga o nugi nni ki ji yiin i ki dondi u Tienu.
29 'Now Thou dost send away Thy servant, Lord, according to Thy word, in peace,
tienu ji ŋa a tuonsɔnlo wan ya caa yeni laafia. a cɔlni a ñɔniannu.
30 because mine eyes did see Thy salvation,
Nunbu la o candaano ka sɔn'o.
31 which Thou didst prepare before the face of all the peoples,
Ki a pun'o li papaali ke wan todi ŋanduna. U Tienu meleki.
32 a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Thy people Israel.'
tie muuyiema i ki ba yendi ŋanduna. wan baa tie Isaraheli yudandi.
33 And Joseph and his mother were wondering 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 unto Mary his mother, 'Lo, this [one] is set for the falling and rising again 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 also thine own soul shall a sword pass through) — that the reasonings of 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 And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she was much advanced in days, having lived with an 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 she [is] a widow of about eighty-four years, who did depart not from the temple, with fasts and supplications serving, 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 she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all those looking 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 finished all things, according to the Law of the Lord, they turned back to Galilee, to their 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 was strengthened in spirit, being 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 were going 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 became twelve years old, they having gone 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 having finished the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother did not know,
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 and, having supposed him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and were seeking him among the kindred and among the 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 turned back 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, both hearing them and questioning them,
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 those hearing 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, having seen him, they were amazed, and his mother said unto him, 'Child, why didst thou thus to us? lo, thy father and I, sorrowing, were seeking thee.'
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, 'Why [is it] that ye were seeking me? did ye not know that in the things of my Father it behoveth me to be?'
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 did not understand the saying that 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 he was subject to them, and his mother was keeping 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 was advancing in wisdom, and in 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
