Luka 2:11-38

¹¹Lelu mwokozi ahogoliki kwandabha jhinu kumjini kwa Daudi! muene ndo Kristu Bwana!

¹²Ejhe, ndo ishara jha mwibetakupelibhwa, bhwa mwibetakunkolela muana akongibhu nghobho na agonili mu liholi lya kulesela bhanyama.”

¹³Ghafla kwajhele ni kijeshi kibhaha lya kumbinguni lyaungena Ni malaika ojhu bhakansifu k'yara bhakajobha,

¹⁴“Utukufu kwa K'yara j'ha ajhele kunani, ni amani ij'helayi pa duniani kwa bhoha bhaipendesibhwa nabhu.”

¹⁵Ikajha kwamba malaika bhobhamalikubhoka kulota kumbinguni, bhachungaji bhakajobhe sana bhene kwa bhene, “Tulotayi henu khola Bethlehemu, na tukalolayi khenu ekhe ambakyo kih'omili, ambakyo Bwana atujobhili.”

¹⁶Bhakaharakisya khola, na bhan'kolili Mariamu ni Yusufu, na bhambwene muana agonili mu liholi lya kulesele bhanyama.

¹⁷Na bhobhabhuene naha, bhakabhajulisha bhanu khela kyabhajobhibhu kuhusu muana.

¹⁸Bhoha bhabhepeliki habari ejhe bhasyangesibhu ni khela kyakyajobhibhu ni bhachungaji.

¹⁹Lakini Mariamu ajhendelili kufikiri kuhusu ghoha ghaamali kughap'eleka, aghatunzili mu muoyo ghwa muene.

²⁰Bhachungaji bhakakerebhuka bhakantukusya ni kun'sifu k'yara kwandabha jha khila khenu kyabhamali kup'eleka ni kulola, kama tukyajhikajhele jhinenibhu kwa bhene.

²¹Bhojhifikili ligono lya nane na jhajhele ndo wakati bhwa kun'tahiri muana, bhakan'kuta lihina Yesu, lya amalikupelibhwa ni jhola malaika kabla jha luleme kut'ongibhwa mulileme.

²²Zao lyalilondekeghe lya utakaso bho sipetili, kul'engana ni sheria jha Musa, Yusufu ni Mariamu bhakampeleka ku hekalu khola Yerusalemu kumb'eka palongolo pa Bwana.

²³Kama kyajhalembibhu mu sheria sya Bwana, “khila n'gosi jhaafungulibhu lileme ni ibetakukutibhwa jhaapisibhu bhakfu kwa Bwana.”

²⁴Bhabhu ni bhene bhahidili kupisya sadaka kulengana ni khela kyakijobhibhwa mu sheria jha Bwana, Jozi jha jhebha au makinda mabhele gha njebha.”

²⁵Langayi, pajhele ni munu mu Yerusalemu ambajhe lihina lya muene akutibhweghe Simeoni. Munu ojho ajhele mwenye haki ni mcha Mungu. Muene akajha ilendela kwandabha jha mfariji ghwa Israeli, ni Roho mtakatifu ajhele panani pa muene.

²⁶Jhamali kufunulibhwa kwa muene kupetela Roho mtakatifu kujha muene ngaafwilepi kabla jha kumbona kristu Bwana.

²⁷Ligono limonga ahidili mugati mu hekalu, alongosibhu ni Roho mtakatifu. Ambapo bhazazi bhandetili muana, Yesu, kumbombela ghala ghaghalondekejhe jha sheria,

²⁸Ndipo Simeoni ampokili mu mabhoko gha muene, ni kun'sifu k'yara ni kujobha,

²⁹“Henu ruhusuayi n'tumishi ghwa jhobhi alotayi kwa amani Bwana, kulengana ni lilobhi lya jhobhi.

³⁰Kwa kujha mihu ghangu ghaubhwene wokovu bhwa jhobhi,

³¹ambabho bhubhonekene kwa mihu gha bhanu bhoha.

³²Muene ndo nuru kwandabha jha ufunuo kwa bhamataifa ni utukufu bhwa bhanu Israeli.”

³³Dadi ni Mabhu ghwa bhana bhasyangesibhu kwa mambo ghaghalongeliki juu jha bhene.

³⁴Ndipo Simeoni akabhabariki ni kujobha Mariamu nyinamunu, “Pelekesiajhi kwa ndabha jha kujhagha ni kuokoka kwa bhanu bhingi mu Israeli na ndo ishara ambajho bhanu bhingi bhibeta kujhipinga.

³⁵Kabhele ndo upanga bhwawibeta kuhoma nafsi jha jhobhi ghwe muene, ili kwamba mabhwasu gha mioyo jha bhingi jhidhihirikayi”.

³⁶Nabii n'dala jhaakutibhweghe Ana ajhele mu hekalu. Muene ajhele binti ghwa Fanueli kuhoma kabila lya Asheri. Ajhele ni miaka ghimehele sana. Ni muene atamili ni n'gosi kwa miaka sana baada jha kubhonana,

³⁷Na ndipo akajha mjane kwa miaka themanini na nne. Ni muene abhwayilepi kubhoka mu hekalu na akajha ijhendelela kumwabudu K'yara pamonga ni kufunga ni kus'oka, kiru ni musi.

³⁸Na kwa wakati obhu ahidili pala pa bhajhele akajhanda kun'shuru k'yara. Alongili kumhusu muana kwa khila munu ambajhe alendeleleghe ukombozi bhwa Yerusalemu.
