Ch 2 Luka – 2nsomba

Luka 2

2:1	And it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, so that the whole world would be enrolled.
2:2	This was the first enrollment; it was made by the ruler of Syria, Quirinius.
2:3	And all went to be declared, aliyense ku mzinda wake.
2:4	Then Joseph also ascended from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
2:5	in order to be declared, with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
2:6	Ndiye izo zinachitika, while they were there, the days were completed, so that she would give birth.
2:7	And she brought forth her firstborn son. And she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them at the inn.
2:8	And there were shepherds in the same region, being vigilant and keeping watch in the night over their flock.
2:9	Ndipo tawonani, an Angel of the Lord stood near them, and the brightness of God shone around them, and they were struck with a great fear.
2:10	Ndipo Mngelo anati kwa iwo: "Osawopa. Za, tawonani, I proclaim to you a great joy, which will be for all the people.
2:11	For today a Saviour has been born for you in the city of David: he is Christ the Lord.
2:12	And this will be a sign for you: you will find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
2:13	And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the celestial army, praising God and saying,
2:14	“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.”
2:15	Ndipo izo zinachitika, when the Angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us cross over to Bethlehem and see this word, which has happened, which the Lord has revealed to us.”
2:16	And they went quickly. And they found Mary and Joseph; and the infant was lying in a manger.
2:17	Ndiye, upon seeing this, they understood the word that had been spoken to them about this boy.
2:18	And all who heard it were amazed by this, and by those things which were told to them by the shepherds.
2:19	But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
2:20	And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told to them.
2:21	And after eight days were ended, so that the boy would be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, just as he was called by the Angel before he was conceived in the womb.
2:22	And after the days of her purification were fulfilled, monga mwa chilamulo cha Mose, they brought him to Jerusalem, in order to present him to the Lord,
2:23	just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “For every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,”
2:24	and in order to offer a sacrifice, according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
2:25	Ndipo tawonani, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and God-fearing, awaiting the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was with him.
2:26	And he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit: that he would not see his own death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
2:27	And he went with the Spirit to the temple. And when the child Jesus was brought in by his parents, in order to act on his behalf according to the custom of the law,
2:28	he also took him up, into his arms, and he blessed God and said:
2:29	“Now you may dismiss your servant in peace, O Ambuye, according to your word.
2:30	For my eyes have seen your salvation,
2:31	which you have prepared before the face of all peoples:
2:32	the light of revelation to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.”
2:33	And his father and mother were wondering over these things, which were spoken about him.
2:34	And Simeon blessed them, and he said to his mother Mary: “Taonani!, this one has been set for the ruin and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and as a sign which will be contradicted.
2:35	And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
2:36	And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years, and she had lived with her husband for seven years from her virginity.
2:37	And then she was a widow, even to her eighty-fourth year. And without departing from the temple, she was a servant to fasting and prayer, usiku ndi usana.
2:38	And entering at the same hour, she confessed to the Lord. And she spoke about him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Israel.
2:39	And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth.
2:40	Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him.
2:41	Ndipo makolo ake ankapita chaka ndi chaka ku Yerusalemu, pa nthawi ya mwambo wa Paskha.
2:42	Ndipo pamene iye anali wa zaka khumi ndi ziwiri, anakwera kunka ku Yerusalemu, monga mwa mwambo wa tsiku la phwando.
2:43	Ndipo atatsiriza masikuwo, pamene adabwerera, mwana Yesu anakhalabe ku Yerusalemu. Ndipo makolo ake sanazindikire ichi.
2:44	Koma, poganiza kuti ali mu kampani, adayenda ulendo wa tsiku limodzi, Kumfunafuna mwa abale awo ndi anzawo.
2:45	Ndipo osamupeza, iwo anabwerera ku Yerusalemu, kumufunafuna Iye.
2:46	Ndipo izo zinachitika, pambuyo pa masiku atatu, anampeza m’Kacisi, atakhala pakati pa madokotala, kuwamvera ndi kuwafunsa.
2:47	Koma onse amene ankamumvetsera anadabwa kwambiri chifukwa cha nzeru zake komanso mayankho ake.
2:48	Ndipo atamuwona, adadabwa. Ndipo amake adati kwa iye: “Mwana, mwatichitiranji chotero?? Taonani!, Atate wako ndi ine tinali kufunafuna iwe ndi chisoni.
2:49	Ndipo adati kwa iwo: Munali kundifunafuna bwanji?? pakuti simunadziwa kuti kuyenera ine kukhala m'zinthu izi za Atate wanga?”
2:50	Ndipo sanazindikira mawu amene adanena nawo.
2:51	Ndipo anatsika nawo pamodzi napita ku Nazarete. Ndipo adawagonjera. Ndipo amake anasunga mawu onsewa mumtima mwake.
2:52	And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and in age, and in grace, with God and men.
