Luke 2
1 Ka nako e Kaesare Aguseto, Kgosi e kgolo ya Roma a ntsha molao wa gore merafe yotlhe e kwalwe.
And it chaunced in thoose dayes: yt ther went oute a comaundment from Auguste the Emperour that all the woorlde shuld be taxed.
2 Go kwalwa mo go ne ga dirwa ka lobaka lwa Kwirinio e le molaodi wa Siria.
And this taxynge was ye fyrst and executed when Syrenius was leftenaut in Syria.
3 Mongwe le mongwe o ne a kopiwa go boela kwa ga gabo mogolo go ikwadisa.
And every man went vnto his awne citie to be taxed.
4 Mme Josefe ka e ne e le ngwana wa bogosi, a tshwanelwa ke go tswa kwa motseng wa Galalea wa Nasaretha a etela kwa Bethelehema mo Judea legae la bogologolo la ga Kgosi Dafide.
And Ioseph also ascended from Galile oute of a cite called Nazareth into Iurie: vnto ye cite of David which is called Bethleem because he was of the housse and linage of David
5 A tsamaya le Marea, mmeelediwa wa gagwe yo o neng a bonala a le moimana ka nako e.
to be taxed with Mary his spoused wyfe which was with chylde.
6 Mme fa ba sa le teng foo, lobaka lwa tla lwa gore ngwana a tsholwe;
And it fortuned whyll they were there her tyme was come that she shuld be delyvered.
7 mme a tshola ngwana wa ntlha, e le mosimane. A mo phuthela ka kobo a mmaya mo bojelong jwa diruiwa, gonne ba ne ba sena bonno mo motseng wa baeti.
And she brought forth her fyrst begotten sonne and wrapped him in swadlynge cloothes and layed him in a manger because ther was no roume for them within in the ynne.
8 Bosigo joo badisa bangwe ba bo ba le mo nageng kwa ntle ga motse, ba disitse letsomane la bone la dinku.
And ther were in the same region shepherdes abydinge in the felde and watching their flocke by nyght.
9 Ka tshoganetso moengele a iponatsa mo go bone mme lefatshe la phatsima ka ntlha ya kgalalelo ya Morena, mme ba tshoga thata.
And loo: the angell of ye lorde stode harde by the and the brightnes of ye lorde shone rounde aboute them and they were soare afrayed.
10 Mme moengele a ba nametsa a re, “Se boifeng!” “Ke lo lereditse mafoko a boitumelo jo bogolo jo bo tlaa bolelwang ka bosakhutleng, mme ke jwa mongwe le mongwe!
But the angell sayd vnto them: Be not afrayed. For beholde I bringe you tydinges of greate ioye yt shal come to all ye people:
11 Mmoloki ee, Mesia o tsetswe bosigong jono mo Bethelehema!
for vnto you is borne this daye in the cite of David a saveoure which is Christ ye lorde.
12 Lo tlaa mo lemoga jang? Lo tlaa bona losea lo phuthetswe mo kobong, lo robaditswe mo bojelong!”
And take this for a signe: ye hall fynde ye chylde swadled and layed in a mager.
13 Ka tshoganetso moengele a tlhakana le lesomo le legolo la ba bangwe ebong mephato ya legodimo ba baka Modimo ba opela ba re:
And streight waye ther was with the angell a multitude of hevenly sowdiers laudynge God and sayinge:
14 “Kgalalelo e nne go Modimo kwa magodimong, le kagiso mo lefatsheng mo go botlhe ba ba mo itumedisang.”
Glory to God an hye and peace on the erth: and vnto men reioysynge.
15 Erile mophato o mogolo wa baengele o sena go boela gape kwa legodimong, badisa ba raana ba re, “A re yeng! A re yeng kwa Bethelehema! A re yeng go bona kgakgamatso e e diragetseng, e Morena o re boleletseng kaga yone.”
And it fortuned assone as the angels were gone awaye fro them in to heven the shepherdes sayd one to another: let vs goo eve vnto Bethleem and se this thynge that is hapened which the Lorde hath shewed vnto vs.
16 Mme ba sianela kwa motseng ba tsaya tsela e e yang kwa go Marea le Josefe. Mme ga bo go le ngwana a rapame mo bojelong.
And they cam with haste and founde Mary and Ioseph and the babe layde in a mager.
17 Badisa ba bolelela mongwe le mongwe kaga se se diragetseng le se moengele o se ba boleletseng kaga ngwana yo.
And when they had sene it they publisshed a brode the sayinge which was tolde them of that chylde.
18 Botlhe ba ba utlwileng polelo ya badisa ba gakgamala.
And all that hearde it wondred at those thinges which were tolde the of the shepherdes.
19 Mme Marea a baya dilo tse mo pelong ya gagwe ka tidimalo mme a akanya kaga tsone gantsi.
But Mary kept all thoose sayinges and pondered them in hyr hert.
20 Hong badisa ba boela gape kwa nageng kwa letsomaneng la bone, ba galaletsa Modimo kaga go etelwa ke moengele le gore ba bone ngwana, fela jaaka baengele ba ba boleletse.
And the shepherdes retourned praysinge and laudinge God for all that they had herde and sene evyn as it was told vnto them.
21 Morago ga malatsi a fera bobedi, kwa tirelong ya thupiso ya losea, a rewa leina gatwe Jesu, leina le o le neilweng ke moengele pele ga a ise a ithwalwe.
And when ye eyght daye was come yt the chylde shuld be circucised his name was called Iesus which was named of the angell before he was conceaved in the wombe.
22 E rile fa nako e tla ya gore Marea a ntshe tshupelo ya ntlafatso kwa tempeleng, ka fa melaong ya ga Moshe morago ga botsalo jwa ngwana, batsadi ba gagwe ba mo tseela kwa Jerusalema go ya go mo neela mo Moreneng;
And when the tyme of their purificacio (after the lawe of Moyses) was come they brought him to Hierusalem to present hym to ye Lorde
23 Gonne mo melaong e go tulwe, “Fa ngwana wa ntlha wa mosadi e le mosimane, o tlaa neelwa Morena.”
(as yt is written in the lawe of the Lorde: every man that fyrst openeth the matrix shalbe called holy to the Lorde)
24 Ka nako eo batsadi ba ga Jesu le bone ba ntsha setlhabelo sa bone sa go itshekisiwa, a e ka nna maphoi a le mabedi! kgotsa maebana a mabedi! E ne e le kopo e e ka fa molaong.
and to offer (as it ys sayde in the lawe of the Lorde) a payre of turtle doves or two yonge pigions.
25 Ka letsatsi leo monna yo o bidiwang Simione moagi wa Jerusalema, o na a le mo tempeleng. E ne e le monna yo o siameng, morapedi yo mogolo, a tletse Mowa o o Boitshepo ebile ka metlha yotlhe a solofetse Mesia go tla ka bonako.
And beholde ther was a ma in Hierusalem whose name was Simeon. And the same ma was iuste and feared God and longed for the consolacion of Israel and the holy goost was in him.
26 Gonne Mowa o o Boitshepo o ne o iponaditse mo go ene gore ga a na go swa go fitlhelela a bona kgosi e e tloditsweng ya Modimo.
And an answer was geven him of the holy goost that he shulde not se deethe before he had sene the lordes Christ.
27 Mowa O O Boitshepo o ne wa mo tlhotlheletsa go ya kwa tempeleng ka letsatsi leo; mme jalo fa Marea le Josefe ba goroga go neela Jesu mo Moreneng ka go ikobela molao,
And he came by inspiracion into the temple. And when the father and mother brought in the chylde Iesus to do for him after the custome of the lawe
28 Simione o ne a le teng mme a tsaya ngwana ka mabogo a gagwe, a baka Modimo.
then toke he him vp in his armes and sayde.
29 A re, “Morena. Jaanong ke ka a swa ka kagiso! Gonne ke mmone jaaka o ntsholofeditse gore ke tlaa mmona, ke bone Mmoloki yo o mo neileng lefatshe.
Lorde Now lettest thou thy seruaut departe in peace accordinge to thy promes.
For myne eyes have sene ye saveour sent fro ye
Wich thou hast prepared before the face of all people.
32 Ke lesedi le le tlaa phatshimelang dichaba, e bile o tlaa nna kgalalelo mo bathong ba gago ba Iseraele!”
A light to lighten the gentyls and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Marea le Josefe ba ema fela foo, ba gakgamalela se se buiwang kaga Jesu.
And his father and mother mervelled at those thinges which were spoke of him.
34 Simione a ba segofatsa mme a raya Marea a re, “Chaka e tlaa tlhaba mowa wa gago, gonne ngwana yo o tlaa ganwa ke batho ba le bantsi mo Iseraele ka ntlha ya tshenyego ya bone. Mme o tlaa nna boipelo jo bogolo jwa ba bangwe ba le bantsi. Le dikakanyo tse di kwa teng tsa dipelo tse di ntsi di tlaa senolwa.”
And Simeon blessed them and sayde vnto Mary his mother: beholde this chyld shalbe the fall and resurreccio of many in Israel and a signe which shalbe spoke agaynste.
And morover the swearde shall pearce thy soule yt the thoughtes of many hertes maye be opened.
36 Ana, moporofiti wa mosadi o na a le teng ka letsatsi leo. E ne e le morwadia Fanuela, wa morafe wa Sejuta wa ga Ashere, mme o ne a tsofetse, gonne e ne e le motlholagadi wa selekanyo sa dingwaga di le masome a fera bobedi le bone go tloga mo dingwageng di supa tsa lenyalo la gagwe, o ne a seka a tloga mo tempeleng mme a nna teng bosigo le motshegare, a obamela Modimo ka go rapela le go itima dijo gantsi.
And ther was a Prophetesse one Anna the doughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Aser: which was of a greate age and had lyved with an husbande. vii. yeres from her virginite.
And she had bene a wedowe aboute. iiii. scoore and. iiii. yere which went never oute of the temple but served God with fastinge and prayer nyght and daye.
38 A atamela fa Simione a sa ntse a bua le Marea le Josefe, mme a simolola go leboga Modimo le go itsise mongwe le mongwe mo Jerusalema yo a neng a letile go tla ga Mmoloki kaga kgorogo ya ga Mesia.
And the same came forth that same houre and praysed the Lorde and spake of him to all that loked for redempcion in Hierusalem.
39 Erile batsadi ba ga Jesu ba sena go diragatsa gotlhe mo go neng go tlhokwa ke Molao wa Modimo ba boela gae kwa Nasaretha mo Galalea.
And assone as they had performed all thinges accordinge to the lawe of the Lorde they returned into Galile to their awne cite Nazareth.
40 Koo ngwana a feta a nna mosimane yo o thata yo o nonofileng, a ba a itsiwe ka botlhale jo bo fetileng dingwaga tsa gagwe; mme Modimo wa gorometsa matlhogonolo a one mo go ene.
And the chylde grewe and wexed stronde in sprete and was filled with wysdome and the grace of God was with hym.
41 Erile Jesu a le dingwaga di le lesome le bobedi a tsamaya le batsadi ba gagwe go ya kwa moletlong wa Tlolaganyo o ba neng ba o tsena ngwaga le ngwaga.
And his father and mother went to Hierusalem every yeare at the feeste of ester.
And when he was. xii. yere olde they went vp to Hierusalem after the custome of the feeste.
43 Morago ga moletlo ba simolola go boela gae kwa Nasaretha, mme Jesu a sala mo Jerusalema. Mme batsadi ba gagwe ga ba a ka ba mo tlhoka letsatsi la ntlha,
And when they had fulfilled the dayes as they returned home the chylde Iesus boode styll in Hierusalem vnknowynge to his father and mother.
44 gonne ba ne ba gopola gore o na le ditsala mo baeting ba bangwe. Mme erile fa a sa bonale mo maabanyaneng ao, ba simolola go mmatla mo ditsaleng tsa bone.
For they supposed he had bene in the copany and therfore came a days iorney and sought him amoge their kynsfolke and acquayntaunce.
45 Mme ya re ba sa mmone, ba boela kwa Jerusalema go ya go mmatla teng.
And when they founde hym not they went backe agayne to Hierusalem and sought him.
46 Morago ga malatsi a mararo ba mmona. O ne a le mo Tempeleng, a ntse fa gare ga baruti ba molao, a ganetsanya le bone ka dipotso tse di thata mme a gakgamatsa mongwe le mongwe ka kitso ya gagwe le dikarabo.
And it fortuned after. iii. dayes that they founde him in the teple sittinge in the middes of the doctours both hearynge them and posinge them.
And all that hearde him mervelled at his wit and answers.
48 Mme batsadi ba gagwe ba se ka ba itse gore ba ka akanyang fa ba mmona a ntse foo a didimetse. Hong mmaagwe a mo raya a re, “Morwaaka! Ke eng fa o re diretse jaana. Rrago le nna re go batlile ka tlhoafalo gongwe le gongwe?”
And when they sawe him they were astonyed. And his mother sayde vnto him: sonne why hast thou thus dealte with vs? Beholde thy father and I have sought the sorowenge.
49 Mme a ba raya a re, “Lo ne lo mpatlelang? A lo ne lo sa lemoge gore ke tlaa bo ke le fano mo Tempeleng, mo tlung ya ga Rre?”
And he sayde vnto the: how is it yt ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must goo aboute my fathers busines?
50 Mme ba bo ba sa tlhaloganye gore o raya jang.
And they vnderstode not ye sayinge that he spake to them.
51 Hong a boela kwa Nasaretha le bone a ba utlwa; mme mmaagwe a boloka dilo tse tsotlhe mo pelong ya gagwe.
And he went with them and came to Nazareth and was obedient to the. But his mother kept all these thinges in her hert.
52 Mme Jesu a gola a nna moleele ebile a le botlhale, mme a ratwa ke Modimo le batho.
And Iesus increased in wisdom and age and in favoure with god and man.
