Lukasi 2:25-36

²⁵Chipindi chila mumbwani ya Yelusalemu, avelili mundu yumu, litawa lyaki Simoni. Mundoyu aveli akumunowesha Chapanga, mweni aveli akuvetela ukombola wa Isilaeli. Mfuki Mng'alili aveli pamu na mweni.

²⁶Mfuki Mng'alili amulayilili, dasovi ng'odu mbaka ndimuwoni Kilistu, mkombola yashawuliwili na Chapanga.

²⁷Mfuki Mng'alili kamlongosha Simoni kuyingila mungengileka ya Nyumba ya kudadavila. Maliya na Yosefu pavamyeghili mwana Yesu vamgoleli ngimu yiyandikilwi muchitabu cha Malawu va Chapanga vamupili Musa,

²⁸Simoni amuyangili Yesu mumawoku vaki na kumjuma Chapanga, padeta:

²⁹“Ponopa Bambu yiva ngimu wudetili, uneki ndumindumi waku nzovi kwa kusika,

³⁰mesu vangu vawuwona ulowolu waku,

³¹wuwutandili paulongolu ya vandu vosi,

³²Alu lwengi lwa kulangusha chiwudayila yuwi kwa vangajila kujumila na kuyegha ukomi kwa vandu vaku va Isilaeli.”

³³Tati na mamundu Yesu vavelili vakujingwa na filongu fyadetili Simoni fya mwana.

³⁴Simoni kavanemela na kamuwombela Maliya, mamundu Yesu, “Mwana ayu kashawuliwa na Chapanga kuvawisha vandu vatangalili va Isilaeli na kuyegha ukombola wa vandu vatangalili va Isilaeli. Daghavi chilangushilu kufuma kwa Chapanga, ila vandu vatangalili davamlemi.

³⁵Na dayivi fyavayihola mundima sha vandu vatangalili dafigubutuliwi. Na wumweni, lihingili likali kucha chimayi dachisomi mundima yaku.”

³⁶Kwaveli na mbuyi yumu mdala, agogulili munu, litawa lyaki Ana biti Fanuweli, wa lukolu lwa Asheli. Mdala ayu ayikalili na bambu mundu kwa myaka saba kufumila pahetiwili.
