Luka 2
1 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.
About that time an edict was issued by the Emperor Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole Empire.
2 u cincinl cɔdli bo tieni ya yogu ke kirisus bo tie badcianmo i siri diema nni.
(This was the first census taken while Quirinius was Governor of Syria).
3 yua kuli bo ye gedi ban cɔdi wan ñani ya dogu n nni.
And everyone went to his own town to be registered.
4 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.
Among others Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem, the town of David, in Judea – because he belonged to the family and house of David –
5 Josefi bo gedi lan kani wan yeni o cikpenga Maari ku pia o tugu. k b pan cɔdi.
to be registered with Mary, his engaged wife, who was about to become a mother.
6 Ban den ye betelem i k maari t gbaani t maadi.
While they were there her time came,
7 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.
and she gave birth to her first child, a son. And because there was no room for them in the inn, she swathed him around and laid him in a manger.
8 I kuanni bo kuu li kani ke a yankpaala dua ki guu bi yandi.
In that same countryside were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,
9 K u tienu maleki yendi cua bi kan ku tienu yudandi jiidi b po ke ti jiwaanndi cuo ba.
when an angel of the Lord suddenly stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were seized with fear.
10 Maleki maadi ba. i daa pia mani jeje n bua pua'yi sawalmanli yu baa tie yua kul pamancianli.
“Have no fear,” the angel said. “For I bring you good news of a great joy in store for all the nation.
11 ba fie ti mali dinla David dogu nni wan tie o candaano.
This day there has been born to you, in the town of David, a Savior, who is Christ and Lord.
12 Ti bo band'o maama nne i ba la i canpandiga k o dua ti yandi jeditiɔgu nni ki piini i kpaldi.
And this will be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger.”
13 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.
Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly Host, praising God, and singing –
14 U Tienu yeli n yabdi tanpolu po, o pamangu n ya ye i tinga po nne yeni u nubuakaab po
“glory to God on high, and on earth peace among those in whom he finds pleasure.”
15 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.
Now, when the angels had left them and gone back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, of which the Lord has told us.”
16 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.
So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;
17 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.
and, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
18 Yaba n den songi a yankpaala labaal kuli li de lidiba.
All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
19 Ke maari yi guani ki tiadi o pal nni yala tieni kuli yeni ya maama madi kul.
while Mary treasured in her heart all that they said, and thought about it often.
20 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
And the shepherds went back, giving glory and praise to God for all that they had heard and seen. It had all happened as they had been told.
21 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.
Eight days after the birth of the child, when it was time to circumcise him, he received the name Jesus – the name given him by the angel before his conception.
22 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.
When the period of purification of mother and child, required by the Law of Moses, came to an end, his parents took the child up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
23 dianni u tienu yikotili nni, ki cincinbiga kuli k o tie bonjaga tie u tienu yuu i.
in compliance with the Law of the Lord that every firstborn male will be dedicated to the Lord,
24 B bo ye ba ki tieni u Tienu balga yen kpajiemulie i nanni lan bo bual maam u Tienu yikotili nni.
and also to offer the sacrifice required by the Law of the Lord – a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
25 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.
There was at that time in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, a righteous and devout man, who lived in constant expectation of Israel’s consulation, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
26 tienu foŋanba de dɔgd'o k u kan kpe gaa la mesi u Tienu tondo.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 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.
Moved by the Spirit, Simeon came into the Temple Courts, and, when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the Law,
28 Simeyɔn ga ki biga o nugi nni ki ji yiin i ki dondi u Tienu.
Simeon himself took the child in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 tienu ji ŋa a tuonsɔnlo wan ya caa yeni laafia. a cɔlni a ñɔniannu.
“Now, Lord, you will let your servant go, according to your word, in peace,
30 Nunbu la o candaano ka sɔn'o.
for my eyes have seen the salvation
31 Ki a pun'o li papaali ke wan todi ŋanduna. U Tienu meleki.
which you have prepared in the sight of all nations –
32 tie muuyiema i ki ba yendi ŋanduna. wan baa tie Isaraheli yudandi.
a light to bring light to the Gentiles, and to be the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Yen o naa bo ye pamangou Simeyɔn n maad yaala Jesus po.
While the child’s father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
34 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.
Simeon gave them his blessing, and said to Mary, the child’s mother, “This child is appointed to be the cause of the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign much spoken against –
35 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.
Yes, the sword will pierce your own heart – and so the thoughts in many minds will be disclosed.”
36 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.
There was also a prophet named Hannah, a daughter of Phanuel and of the tribe of Asher. She was far advanced in years, having lived with her husband for seven years after marriage,
37 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.
and then a widow, until she had reached the age of eighty-four. She never left the Temple Courts, but, fasting and praying, worshiped God night and day.
38 li puocianmo mɔ pundi lan yogunu; ki yin k dondi u Tienu k maadi yaba kokul den guu Jerusalemi fiema o janjanbiigu nni.
At that moment she came up, and began publicly to thank God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the deliverance of Jerusalem.
39 Tieni k gbeni nani u Tienu ñɔmaam n den buali maama. ki maari yeni Josefi gɔ lebidi Galile k kun Nasareti b dogu nni.
When the child’s parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
40 Jesus ji kpedi tonm tonma ki o yanfuonma caa liiga k u gɔ tie u Tienu nulo
The child grew and became strong and wise, and the blessing of God was on him.
41 Kuli Jesus baa yeni o naa bo yi tun ki caa Jerusalemi paki jaanmi.
Every year the child’s parents used to go to Jerusalem at the Passover Festival.
42 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.
When Jesus was twelve years old, they went according to custom to Jerusalem,
43 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.
and had finished their visit; but, when they started to return, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, without their knowing it.
44 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.
Thinking that he was with their fellow travelers, they went one day’s journey before searching for him among their relatives and acquaintances;
45 Ama baa den la'o ki b gɔ lebdi Jerusalemi k bu kpaan'o.
and then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.
46 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.
It was not until the third day that they found him in the Temple Courts, sitting among the teachers, now listening to them, now asking them questions.
47 Yaaba bo song'o kuli den ye panmangu yeni wan pia ya nunfanbu o maama gɔ jiima po.
All who listened to him marveled at his intelligence and his answers.
48 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.
His parents were amazed when they saw him, and his mother said to him, “My child, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”
49 K Jesus den jiin ba. Be po i ki den kpaani n. I ki bani ki ba sɔni n baa tuona a.
“What made you search for me?” he answered. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 Ama bi den k gbadi o maama yeni niinma nni
His parents did not understand what he meant.
51 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.
However he went down with them to Nazareth, and submitted himself to their control; and his mother treasured all that was said in her heart.
52 Jesus den find tonma ko yantiali mɔ gɔ caa liiga o Tienu yen b niba den bua'o boncianla
And Jesus grew in wisdom as he grew in years, and gained the blessing of God and people.
