1 Mu mashiku ghala bhwo uYoohani aapaapighwa, uKayisaali* 2:1 UKayisaali akabha mulongoshi ughwa chiisu icha Looma ni fyisu ifinine pamupeene ni chiisu icha Isilaeli. yuuyo ingamu yaake akabha ghwi Aghuusito ghwe yuuyo akalongoshanga ichiisu icha Looma. UAghuusito akalaghila ukuti abhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhakiikalagha mu chiisu chooshi icha Looma, bhasimbighwe ingamu nu kubhabhelengighwa. 2 Ukusimbighwa ingamu nu kubhelengighwa ukwa bhandu ukwo kukabha kwa bhwandilo mu chiisu icha Looma bhwo uKileniyo akulongosha ichiisu icha Siiliya. 3 Po abhandu bhooshi bhakaghaluka nu kubhuuka ku twaya utwa chikolo chaabho ukuti bhaye bhasimbighwe ingamu shaabho nu kubhelengighwa.

4 Po ghwepe uYoosefu akatiila mu kaaya aka Naasaleeti kaako kali mu chiisu icha Ghalilaayi nu kubhuuka mu kaaya aka Bheetelehemu kaako kali mu chiisu icha Yuteeya muumwo umalafyale uNdaabhiti akapaapighwa. Ku nongwa iya kuti uYoosefu akafumila mu chikolo icha Ndaabhiti, yo yiiyo nongwa iyi akabhuuka ku Bheetelehemu pakusimbisha. 5 UYoosefu akabhuuka pakusimbighwa nu kubhelengighwa pamupeene nu Maliiya yuuyo akamushingila. Akabhalilo ako, uMaliiya akabha pa bhungʼwamu. 6 Bhwo bhali mu Bheetelehemu, akabhalilo kakafika aka Maliiya ukupaapa. 7 Akapaapa umwana ghwake umuliisha, ukatoote, akamuniembetelela ni myenda nu kumughoneka mu chitiighi icha kuliishikisha ingʼombe. UMaliiya akabhomba ulwo ku nongwa iya kuti bhutakabhaamwo ubhuyo ubhwa kughona abheene mu nyumba isha bhaheesha.

8 Mu kabhalilo kala kala, bhakabhaapo abhaliishi bhamu abha bhonangʼooshi bhaabho bhakaliishanga ku chiposo kupiipi na kaaya aka Bheetelehemu. Abhaliishi abho bhakalindililagha abhonangʼooshi bhaabho pa kabhalilo aka pabhushiku. 9 Nakalinga, ughwandumi ughwa Malafyale akabhasetukila nu bhwelu ubhukulu ukufuma kwa Chaala bhukabhabhalila imbafu shooshi. Bhakaanda ukwoghopa leka. 10 Loole ughwandumi akabhabhuula akati, “Pulikisha, manye mwoghopaghe, paapo niisa kukwinyu pakubhabhuula inongwa inyiisa iya lusekelo ulukulu yiiyo indiyibhahobhoshe abhandu bhooshi. 11 Umwana aapaapighwa umuusughu mu kaaya aka Bheetelehemu kaako uNdaabhiti akafumila. Umwana uyo indiakabhapokaghe abhandu bhooshi ukufuma ku mbiibhi shaabho, umwene ghwi Mesiiya,† 2:11 UMesiiya Kwo kuti, Kilisiti. Bhelenga ingamu iya UKilisiti ku Mashu aMaheesha. ghwi Malafyale. 12 Ichi cho chiicho chilangisho✡ 2:12 Yesaaya 7:14 kukwinyu ukuti shiisho inguyugha sha nalooli, indimumwaghe umwana umufyele bhamuniembeteliile ni myenda, bhamughonekite mu chitiighi icha kuliishikisha ingʼombe.”

13 Nakalinga, ichilundilo ichikulu icha bhandumi chikiisa ukufuma kumwanya nu kwongaana pamupeene nu ghwandumi umunine yula, bhakamupaala uChaala bhakati,

15 Bhwo abhandumi bhaatiila nu kubhuuka kumwanya, abhaliishi abha bhonangʼooshi bhala bhakayughisania bheene-bheene bhakati, “Tubhuuke luluulu ku kaaya aka Bheetelehemu ukuti tuye tuteshe shiisho shaabhombighwa shiisho uMalafyale aatubhuula ukughendela ku ghwandumi ghwake.” 16 Po bhakabhuuka lubhilo ku Bheetelehemu kula. Bhwo bhaafika, bhakabhaagha uMaliiya nu Yoosefu, nu mwana umufyele aghonite mu chitiighi icha kuliishikisha ingʼombe. 17 Bhwo bhaamubhona umwana, bhakamubhuula ghweshi umundu inongwa shiisho ughwandumi akabhabhuula ku sha mwana uyo. 18 Po abhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhakapulika inongwa shiisho abhaliishi bhala bhakabhabhuula, bhakaswigha leka. 19 Loole uMaliiya akashibhiika shooshi ishi mu ndumbula yaake nu kwendelela ukushiinongʼona. 20 Pabhumalilo, abhaliishi bhala bhakaghaluka kuukwo abhonangʼooshi bhaabho bhakabha bhwo bhakumupaala ngaani uChaala ku nongwa iya kuti shooshi shiisho bhakashipulika nu kushibhona, shikabhombighwa isa muumwo ughwandumi akabhabhuulila.

21 Bhwo umwana aafikisha amashiku mahaano na matatu (8) ukufuma muumwo akapaapighwa, bhakamukwesula nu kumupa ingamu iya Yeesu. Ingamu iyi yo yiiyo ughwandumi akamupa na bhwo ungʼina akaali ukubha pa bhungʼwamu.

22 Bhwo akabhalilo kaafika aka Maliiya ukwiyeelufya‡ 2:22 Ukwiyeelufya Linga umukolo uMuyuuta aapaapa umwana, akabhelengelighwanga ukubha munyali ukufika amashiku 40. Bhwo amashiku agho ghaashila, po akiitikishighwanga ukuya pakwipuuta nu kufumya ifyabhupe mu Nyumba iya Chaala (Bhalaabhi 12:1-8). isa muumwo uChaala akalaghila mu ndaghilo isha Moose,§ 2:22 Bhelenga ingamu iya UMoose ku Mashu aMaheesha. uYoosefu nu Maliiya bhakamwegha umwana nu kubhuuka naghwe ku kaaya aka Yelusaleemu* 2:22 Bhelenga ingamu iya Yelusaleemu ku Mashu aMaheesha. pakumubhiika pandaashi pa Malafyale uChaala 23 isa muumwo shisimbiighwe mu ndaghilo isha Moose ukuti, “Ghweshi umwana umuliisha ukatoote, akubha ghwa Malafyale uChaala.”✡ 2:23 Bhufumilo 13:1-2, 11-13; 34:19-20; Mbelengelo 18:15-16; Bhalaabhi 12:8 24 Soona bhakabhuuka ku Yelusaleemu pakufumya ifyabhupe isa muumwo uMalafyale akamulaghilila uMoose mu ndaghilo shaake akati, “Indimukafumyange ingunda shibhili pamu utwana tubhili utwa ngunda.”✡ 2:24 Bhalaabhi 12:8

25 Mu kabhalilo ako, akabhaapo umundu yumo yuuyo ingamu yaake akabha ghwi Simiyooni yuuyo akiikalagha mu kaaya aka Yelusaleemu. USimiyooni akabhombagha shiisho shibhaghiile pandaashi pa Chaala nu kushibhombela imbombo indaghilo shaake. Ku fyinja ifyingi, uSimiyooni akalindililagha ukuti uChaala amutume uMesiiya ukwisa pakubhasubhaasha nu kubhapoka aBhaisilaeli.✡ 2:25 Yesaaya 40:1-11; 49:13; 51:3; 52:9-10; 57:18-19; 61:2 Soona, uSimiyooni akalongoshighwanga nu Mbepo uMwelu. 26 UMbepo uMwelu akamubhuula ukuti ataaakafwe bhwo akaali ukumubhona uMesiiya ukufuma kwa Malafyale. 27 UMbepo uMwelu akamulongosha uSimiyooni ukwingila mu lupaso ulwa Nyumba iya Chaala bhwo uYoosefu nu Maliiya bhiisa nu mwana uYeesu ukuti bhamubhiike pandaashi pa Chaala ukukongana ni ndaghilo isha Moose. 28 Po abhapaapi bhaake bhakamupa uSimiyooni umwana, ghwepe akamupokeela mu tukono twake nu kumupaala uChaala akati,

33 Bhwo abhapaapi abha Yeesu bhaapulika shiisho uSimiyooni akashiyughagha isha mwana ghwabho, bhakaswigha leka. 34 Po uSimiyooni akabhasaya abhapaapi abha Yeesu nu kumubhuula uMaliiya akati, “Pulikisha, uChaala amusalite umwana uyu ukuti abhandu abhingi mu chiisu icha Isilaeli bhakayabhanikaghe. Abhandu bhooshi bhaabho indibhakamwitike, uChaala indiakabhasaye nu kubhapoka, loole bhooshi bhaabho bhataabhakamwitike, uChaala indiakabhalonge. Umwana uyu indiabhe ungati chilangisho chiicho chikubhalangisha abhandu ukubhuuka kwa Chaala, loole abhandu abhingi indibhakamukaanaghe. 35 Soona, uChaala amusalite ukuti ashibhiikaghe pabhwelu inyinongʼono shiisho bhakwinongʼona mu ndumbula shaabho. Loole linga abhandu bhakumukaana, isho indishikakupelele ughwe ubhubhafu ubhukulu leka isa ubhubhafu ubhwa mumaaghi umutali ughwa bhwite linga ghukuyilasa indumbula yaako.”

36 Soona mu lupaso ulwa Nyumba iya Chaala, akabhaamwo nu musololi† 2:36 Bhelenga ishu ilya Umusololi ku Mashu aMaheesha. umukolo yumo yuuyo ingamu yaake akabha ghwi Hana. Ughwise ughwa Hana akabha ghwi Faanweli yuuyo akafumagha mu chikolo icha Aasheli. UHana akabha mukolo umughome leka ughwa fyinja amalongo mahaano na matatu na finna (84). UHana akeeghighwa nu kwikala nu mulume ifyinja fihaano na fibhiliishe (7), po umulume akafwa. 37 Bhwo uHana mufwile, akiikalagha akabhalilo kooshi mu lupaso ulwa Nyumba iya Chaala muumwo akamwipuutagha uChaala pabhushiku na pamuusi. Soona, uHana akiiyiimagha ukulya ifindu‡ 2:37 Bhelenga ishu ilya Ukwiyiima ukulya ifindu ku Mashu aMaheesha. akabhalilo kooshi bhwo akwipuuta kwa Chaala. 38 Bhwo uSimiyooni ali pakuyugha nu Yoosefu nu Maliiya mu lupaso ulwa Nyumba iya Chaala, uHana akiingila nu kwanda ukumupaala uChaala ku nongwa iya mwana uYeesu. Soona akeendelela ukushiyugha inongwa isha mwana uyo ku bhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhakabhaamwo mula, bhaabho bhakamulindililagha uMupoki ukwisa nu kubhapoka abhandu abha mu chiisu chooshi icha Isilaeli.

39 Bhwo uYoosefu nu Maliiya bhaamala ukushibhomba shooshi isa muumwo uMalafyale uChaala akabhalaghilila mu ndaghilo isha Moose, bhakamwegha uYeesu nu kughaluka mu kaaya kaabho aka Naasaleeti mu chiisu icha Ghalilaayi. 40 Mu kaaya ako mwo muumwo uYeesu akeendelela ukukula umubhili nu kubha na maka na mahala amingi ku nongwa iya kuti uChaala akamughana nu kumusaya.

41 Abhapaapi abha Yeesu bhakabha nu lwiho ulwa kubhuuka ku kaaya aka Yelusaleemu chooshi ichinja pakusekelela ichaaka icha Pasaka.§ 2:41 Bhelenga ishu ilya IPasaka ku Mashu aMaheesha. 42 Bhwo uYeesu aabha ni fyinja kalongo na fibhili (12), umwene pamupeene na bhapaapi bhaake bhakakwela ukubhuuka ku Yelusaleemu pakusekelela ichaaka icha Pasaka ukukongana nu lwiho lwabho. 43 Po bhwo bhaamala ukusekelela ichaaka, abhapaapi abha Yeesu na bhandu abhanine bhakatiila nu kughaluka mu twaya twabho. Loole uYeesu akashaala mu kaaya aka Yelusaleemu chishita Yoosefu pamu uMaliiya ukumanya ukuti bhatakabha pamupeene naghwe. 44 Bhwo abhapaapi bhaake bhakughaluka, bhakiinongʼonagha ukuti uYeesu akabha pamupeene na bhandu abhanine bhaabho bhakaghendagha pamupeene mu sila. Loole bhwo bhaaghenda isila iya lishiku limo chishita kumubhona, bhakaanda ukumulonda ku bhakamu na ku bhamanyani bhaabho. 45 Ku nongwa iya kuti abhapaapi bhaake bhakamulonda chishita kumwagha, pabhumalilo bhakaghaluka ukubhuuka ku Yelusaleemu bhwo bhakwendelela ukumulonda.

46 Pi ishiku ilya bhutatu, abhapaapi bhaake bhakamwagha uYeesu ali mu lupaso ulwa Nyumba iya Chaala, iikiile pakati pa bhamanyishi abha ndaghilo isha Moose, akubhapulikisha nu kubhabhuusha amabhuusho. 47 Abhandu bhooshi bhaabho bhakamupulikishanga, bhakaswigha leka ku nongwa iya mahala ghaake na muumwo akaamulilagha akiisa shiisho bhakamubhuushanga. 48 Bhwo abhapaapi bhaake bhaamwagha, bhakaswigha leka. Po ungʼina akamubhuusha uYeesu akati, “Ghwe mwana ghwangu, kali, kooni ghwatubhombela utwe ulwo? Pulikisha, une nu ghuuso twalabha leka ukukulonda paapo twapaashanga leka.” 49 Po uYeesu akabhaamula akati, “Ghwe maayi, kali, kooni mwandondagha? Kali, mutaameenye ukuti une ingulondighwa ukubha mu nyumba iya Taata uChaala?” 50 Loole abhapaapi bhaake bhatakashaaghania shiisho uYeesu akabhabhuulagha.

51 Po uYeesu akiilomuka nu kubhuuka pamupeene na bhapaapi bhaake ku kaaya aka Naasaleeti, ghwepe akeendelela ukubhapulika abhapaapi bhaake akabhalilo kooshi. Loole ungʼina akashibhiika shooshi isho mu ndumbula yaake nu kwendelela ukushiinongʼona. 52 Po uYeesu akeendelela ukukula umubhili nu kubha na mahala. UChaala na bhandu bhakeendelela ukumughana.
