Luka 2:22-36

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,
