Luka 2
1 Matungo na mahiku nanso ukaisari Agusto au pumilye Ilago akaila holi ua ligwa waantu Ihi ni Ikie mihiyi.
About that time an edict was issued by the Emperor Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole Empire.
2 Ili aialyo lagwandiyo alitumilye matungo krenio amukulu wang'wa siria.
(This was the first census taken while Quirinius was Governor of Syria).
3 Kila muntu akalongola kukisali kao. Kenda kuhola ialo.
And everyone went to his own town to be registered.
4 Nung'wenso uyusufu akahega mukisali ka Nazareti ku Galilay nu kulongola ku Yudea mukisali ka Bethlehemu. nu manyikile anga kisali kang'wa Daudi. kunsoko au pumie muileli wang'wa Daudi.
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 Au ulongae kung'wanso kenda kuhola ialo palung'wi nu Mariamu amuligilye nukumulindilya ung'wana.
to be registered with Mary, his engaged wife, who was about to become a mother.
6 Naiakole kung'wanso imatungo nanso aialindie ung'wana alelywe.
While they were there her time came,
7 Akaleta ng'wana mugoha. Uleli wakwe wang'wandyo akamuimba inguo muili wihi kugilya impepo ung'wana. Akamuika muntua nakuliselya imitugo kunsoko aikutile ilyoma munyumba ya kila nzila.
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 Ihi ni anso aiakole iadimi naikie mumbuga akazelindila ikolo yao utiku.
In that same countryside were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,
9 Itungo malaika wa mukulu akapumila utemi wa mukulu ukelya nukupilimilya akatula nu oa.
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 Kululo umalaika akaaila, ''leki kogopi numuletee lukani luza, nulukuleta ilumbi ku antu ihi.
“Have no fear,” the angel said. “For I bring you good news of a great joy in store for all the nation.
11 Iie liyi, muguni uleilwe kunsoko anyu, mukisale kang'wa Daudi nuanso yuyo kristo mkulu!
This day there has been born to you, in the town of David, a Savior, who is Christ and Lord.
12 Ike inge kilingasilyo mkupegwa, mukumu hanga ung'wana utungilye nguo uloe muntua akulisilya imetungo.
And this will be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger.”
13 Itungo itumi akilunde ikaza idu ikatula palung'wi ikamusongelya Itunda, Ikalunga.
Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly Host, praising God, and singing –
14 Ukulu wang'wi itunda mua migulya nu upolowa mihi nualoilye.
“glory to God on high, and on earth peace among those in whom he finds pleasure.”
15 Kuite inge ia malaika ai atuile kulongola kenda kilunde, iadimi akitambuile enso kua enso, Inge kweni ku Bethelehemu, kende kuone iku nikigee nu mukulu ukulagie.
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 Akakaya kung'wanso, akamuhanga mariamu nu Yusufu, ikamuona ug'wana ulae muntua nikilyesilya imetugo.
So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;
17 Na iane uu akaaila iantu naiaiwe aya na ng'wana.
and, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
18 Ihi naigule alukani ulu ikakuilwa iko na ikitambuwe nu mudimi.
All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
19 Inge u mariamu akalongoleka, kusega kunsoko ihi nae wigule, akamaika munkola akwe.
while Mary treasured in her heart all that they said, and thought about it often.
20 I a dime ikasuka ikamukulya nukumulumbelya Itunda kitu naeigule nukuona, anga nae itambuwe, kung'wanso.
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 Naelipikile ulu hiku la munana ikatula matungo, akumutala kukedamu ung'wana, ikamitanga elina lakwe Yesu, elina naupewe nu malaika Inda naikilengila munda.
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 Naelipikile imahiku akuzepilingwa kitalao anga nai uzepeigwe malagelyo ang'wa musa, Yusuma na Mariamu akamutala mitekelo ku yerusalemu kumuika kuntongela ing'wi Tunda.
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 Anga naeiandekilye mumalago ang'wi Tunda, kila mugoha nulugue Inda ukitangwa naupumigwe wakfu wang'wi Tunda.
in compliance with the Law of the Lord that every firstborn male will be dedicated to the Lord,
24 Ne anso aiazile kupumwa isongelyo anga naelitambuwe milago la ng'wi Tunda.
and also to offer the sacrifice required by the Law of the Lord – a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
25 Goza aukoli muntu ku yerusalemu zilina lakwe aukitangwa Simeoni. Umuntu nuanso aewatai nukumukulya Itunda. nuanso aizulindie muaili wa Israeli, nu ng'wang'welu aiukole migulya lakwe.
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 Aituile kuhila kukiela kung'wa ng'welu kuiti nuanso sanga auzesha iza kuli kumuona U - kristo wang'wi itunda.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Luhuki lung'wi auzile mukate mitekeelo akazutongewe nung'wang'welu, Ateli ai amuletile ung'wana, yesu, kumtendela anga ilago.
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 Simeoni akamsingilya mumikono akwe, kumukulya Itunda akalunga.
Simeon himself took the child in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 Mulekele umitumi wako alongote kuhuili wa mukulu, kutula nulukani lako.
“Now, Lord, you will let your servant go, according to your word, in peace,
30 Kunsoko imiho ane auona uza wako.
for my eyes have seen the salvation
31 Nuingee kumiho aantu ihi.
which you have prepared in the sight of all nations –
32 Nuanso ng'welu kunsoko akukunukulya ukumbigulu nu ukulu wa antu Israeli.
a light to bring light to the Gentiles, and to be the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Ihe nu nyinga nia ng'wana ai akuiwe Inkani nai itambuwe kunsoko akwe.
While the child’s father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
34 Smeoni akasongelya akalunga Mariamu, akwe ntegeelye kisa ung'wana uyu ite ukutula kunsoko kulimila kuguna iantu Idu ku Israeli inge kulingasilyo ku antu idu nia kuhita.
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 Ingi upanga ukusonsa ikolo ako ue, maswgo amukolo igelekee!
Yes, the sword will pierce your own heart – and so the thoughts in many minds will be disclosed.”
36 Munyakidagu musungu nai witangwa Ana hangi au koli mitekelo, nuanso ai munanso wang'wa Fanueli kupuma ulelwa wa ng'wa asheli, Aukite mahiku idu, nung'wenso ai ikie nu mugoha myaka mapungate nai ihoile.
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 Akatula muhimbe kumanyaka munana na unne Nuanso shanga aiwihega mitekelo akendelea kumukulya Itunda palung'wi nukupunga nukulopa, utiko nu mung'wi.
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 Matungo nanso akaza pang'wanso na iakoli akamusongelya Itunda akaligitya kunsoko ang'wa na kumuntu na mulindie ku Yerusalemu.
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 Naiamalile kila ekintu naealoilye kituma ilango la mukulu ikasuka ku Galilaya, kukesali, kao, Nazareti.
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 Ung'wana akakula akatula ukete inguru akaongeleka mulikalo, Uza wang'witunda ukatula mingulya.
The child grew and became strong and wise, and the blessing of God was on him.
41 Ialeli akwe kila ung'waka enda ku Yerusalemu kunsoko amilundo wa Pasaka.
Every year the child’s parents used to go to Jerusalem at the Passover Festival.
42 Nautuele myaka ikumi na ibili akalongoka hange naeipipile miko kunsoko amilundo.
When Jesus was twelve years old, they went according to custom to Jerusalem,
43 Naisigile matungo ehi kunsoko amilundo ikanza kusuka kito. Inge Umuhumba u-Yesu auasiga kunyuma mumo mu-Yerusalemu ialeli akwe shanga ikalinga ili.
and had finished their visit; but, when they started to return, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, without their knowing it.
44 Aialiye ukoi palung'wi neinso naiakugenda aiagendile luhiku. Kululo akanza kumuduma Mwanya ndugu ao.
Thinking that he was with their fellow travelers, they went one day’s journey before searching for him among their relatives and acquaintances;
45 Naialemilye kumulija akasuka ku-Yerusalemu ikatula kumuduma kuko.
and then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.
46 Ikatula mahiku atatu ikamuhanga mutekelo akazimikie pakate pamanyisigwa akizu ategeye nuku akolya inkani.
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 Ihi naiamigule akakuilwa umanyi wakwe nu usukeli.
All who listened to him marveled at his intelligence and his answers.
48 Nai amuine Ikakuilwa unyinya akamuila ng'waane, neke nukutenda nanso? Utata ako nu nene aikekuduma kuoa nuukulu.
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 Kunene, ''naimukunduma? sanga aimulingile kina kutula koli munyumba ang'wa tata ane?
“What made you search for me?” he answered. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 Singa alinga azu kuligitya nkanike izi.
His parents did not understand what he meant.
51 Sunga akalongala palung'wi ku nazareti kitalao hangi au gombile kitalao, Unyinya auikile inkani yihi munkolo akwe.
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 Sunga u Yesu akalongeleka kukula kimahala ni kimwili, niantu ang'wi Tunda ikamulowa.
And Jesus grew in wisdom as he grew in years, and gained the blessing of God and people.
