Okuzaalibwa kwa Yesu
12:1 a Mat 22:17; Luk 3:1 b Mat 24:14Awo olwatuuka mu biseera ebyo, Kayisaali Agusito n’ayisa etteeka abantu bonna beewandiisa. 22:2 Mat 4:24Okubala kuno kwe kwasooka okubaawo ku mulembe gwa Kuleniyo nga ye gavana w’Obusuuli2:2 Obusuuli ye Siriya mu biro bya kaakano. 3Bonna ne bagenda okwewandiisa, buli muntu mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe.
42:4 Yk 7:42Awo Yusufu n’ava e Nazaaleesi eky’e Ggaliraaya, n’agenda mu kibuga kya Dawudi ekiyitibwa Besirekemu eky’e Buyudaaya, kubanga yali wa mu kika kya Dawudi, 5yeewandiise ne Maliyamu eyali olubuto, oyo gwe yali ayogereza. 6Naye bwe baali bali eyo ekiseera kya Maliyamu eky’okuzaala ne kituuka. 7N’azaala omwana we omubereberye omulenzi, n’amubikka mu bugoye, n’amuzazika mu lutiba ente mwe ziriira, kubanga tebaafuna kifo mu nnyumba y’abagenyi.
8Mu kiro ekyo waaliwo abasumba abaali mu kitundu ekyo kye kimu ku ttale nga bakuuma endiga zaabwe. 92:9 Luk 1:11; Bik 5:19Awo malayika wa Mukama n’abalabikira, ne waakaayakana n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama, ne batya nnyo. 102:10 Mat 14:27Malayika n’abagumya nti, “Temutya, kubanga mbaleetedde amawulire amalungi ag’essanyu eringi, era nga ga bantu bonna. 112:11 a Mat 1:21; Yk 4:42; Bik 5:31 b Mat 1:16; 16:16, 20; Yk 11:27; Bik 2:36Kubanga Omulokozi, ye Kristo Mukama waffe azaaliddwa leero mu kibuga kya Dawudi. 122:12 1Sa 2:34; 2Bk 19:29; Is 7:14Ku kino kwe munaamutegeerera: Mujja kulaba omwana omuwere, ng’abikkiddwa mu ngoye, ng’azazikiddwa mu lutiba lw’ente.”
13Amangwago eggye lya bamalayika ab’omu ggulu ne beegatta ne malayika oyo ne batendereza Katonda nga bagamba nti,
142:14 Luk 1:79; Bar 5:1; Bef 2:14, 17“Ekitiibwa kibe eri Katonda Ali Waggulu ennyo.
N’emirembe gibe mu nsi eri abantu Katonda b’asiima.”
15Awo bamalayika bwe baamala okuddayo mu ggulu, abasumba ne bateesa nti, “Tugende e Besirekemu tulabe kino ekibaddewo, Mukama ky’atutegeezezza.”
16Ne bayanguwa ne bagenda, ne balaba Maliyamu ne Yusufu, n’omwana omuwere ng’azazikiddwa mu lutiba lw’ente. 17Awo abasumba ne bategeeza bye baalabye, n’ebya bategeezeddwa ebikwata ku mwana oyo. 18Bonna abaawulira ebigambo by’abasumba ne beewuunya nnyo. 192:19 nny 51Naye Maliyamu n’akuumanga ebigambo ebyo mu mutima gwe era ng’abirowoozaako nnyo. 202:20 Mat 9:8Awo abasumba ne baddayo gye balundira ebisibo byabwe, nga bagulumiza era nga batendereza Katonda, olw’ebyo byonna bye baawulira era ne bye baalaba nga bwe baali bategeezeddwa.
Yesu Atwalibwa mu Yeekaalu
212:21 a Luk 1:59 b Luk 1:31Olunaku olw’omunaana olw’okukomolerwako bwe lwatuuka, n’atuumibwa erinnya YESU, malayika lye yayogera nga Yesu tannaba kuba mu lubuto lwa nnyina.
222:22 Lv 12:2-8Awo ekiseera bwe kyatuuka Maliyamu okugenda mu Yeekaalu atukuzibwe, ng’amateeka ga Musa bwe galagira ne batwala Yesu e Yerusaalemi okumuwaayo eri Mukama. 232:23 Kuv 13:2, 12, 15; Kbl 3:13Kubanga mu mateeka ago, Katonda yalagira nti, “Omwana omubereberye bw’anaabanga omulenzi, anaaweebwangayo eri Mukama.” 242:24 Lv 12:8Era mu kiseera kye kimu bakadde ba Yesu ne bawaayo ssaddaaka amateeka nga bwe galagira okuwaayo amayiba abiri oba enjiibwa bbiri.
252:25 a Luk 1:6 b nny 38; Is 52:9; Luk 23:51Ku lunaku olwo, waaliwo omusajja erinnya lye Simyoni, eyabeeranga mu Yerusaalemi, nga mutuukirivu, ng’atya Katonda, era ng’ajjudde Mwoyo Mutukuvu, ng’alindirira okusanyusibwa kwa Isirayiri. 26Kubanga yali abikkuliddwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu nti tagenda kufa nga tannalaba ku Kristo, Omulokozi. 272:27 nny 22Mwoyo Mutukuvu n’amuluŋŋamya okujja mu Yeekaalu. Maliyamu ne Yusufu bwe baaleeta Omwana Yesu okumuwaayo eri Mukama ng’amateeka bwe galagira, ne Simyoni naye yaliwo. 28Simyoni n’ajja n’asitula Omwana mu mikono gye, n’atendereza Katonda ng’agamba nti,
292:29 a nny 26 b Bik 2:24“Mukama wange, kaakano osiibule omuweereza wo mirembe,
ng’ekigambo kyo bwe kigamba.
302:30 Is 52:10; Luk 3:6Kubanga amaaso gange galabye Obulokozi bwo,
31bwe wateekateeka mu maaso g’abantu bonna,
322:32 Is 42:6; 49:6; Bik 13:47; 26:23okuba Omusana ogw’okwakira amawanga.
N’okuleetera abantu bo Abayisirayiri ekitiibwa!”
33Kitaawe w’omwana ne nnyina ne beewuunya ebigambo ebyayogerwa ku Yesu. 342:34 a Mat 12:46 b Is 8:14; Mat 21:44; 1Ko 1:23; 2Ko 2:16; 1Pe 2:7, 8Awo Simyoni n’abasabira omukisa. N’alyoka n’agamba Maliyamu nti, “Omwana ono bangi mu Isirayiri tebagenda kumukkiriza, era alireetera bangi okugwa n’abalala ne bayimusibwa. 35Era naawe ennaku eri ng’ekitala erikufumita omutima, n’ebirowoozo by’omu mitima gy’abantu birimanyibwa.”
362:36 Bik 21:9Waaliwo nnabbi omukazi, ayitibwa Ana, muwala wa Fanweri, ow’omu kika kya Aseri, era nga mukadde nnyo, eyafumbirwa nga muwala muto n’amala ne bba emyaka musanvu gyokka, bba n’afa, 372:37 a 1Ti 5:9 b Bik 13:3; 14:23; 1Ti 5:5n’asigala nga nnamwandu. Mu kiseera kino yali yaakamala emyaka kinaana mu ena, era teyavanga mu Yeekaalu ng’asiiba n’okwegayiriranga Katonda emisana n’ekiro. 382:38 nny 25; Is 40:2; Luk 1:68; 24:21Awo Ana mu kiseera ekyo yali ayimiridde okumpi ne Maliyamu ne Yusufu, naye n’atandika okutendereza Katonda ng’amwogerako eri abo bonna abaali balindirira okununulibwa kwa Yerusaalemi.
392:39 nny 51; Mat 2:23Awo bakadde ba Yesu bwe baamala okutuukiriza byonna ng’amateeka ga Mukama bwe galagira, ne baddayo e Nazaaleesi eky’omu Ggaliraaya. 402:40 nny 52; Luk 1:80Omwana n’akula, n’aba w’amaanyi, n’ajjuzibwa amagezi n’ekisa kya Katonda kyali ku ye.
412:41 Kuv 23:15; Ma 16:1-8Bakadde ba Yesu buli mwaka bagendanga mu Yerusaalemi ku Mbaga y’Okuyitako. 42Awo Yesu bwe yaweza emyaka kkumi n’ebiri egy’obukulu n’ayambuka e Yerusaalemi ne bakadde be ku mbaga, nga empisa yaabwe bwe yali. 43Awo embaga ng’ewedde, ne bakyusa okuddayo ewaabwe, naye omulenzi Yesu n’asigala mu Yerusaalemi, naye bazadde be ne batakimanya. 44Kubanga baalowooza nti ali ne bannaabwe mu kibiina ekirala, ekiro ekyo bwe bataamulaba, ne bamunoonya mu kibiina omwali baganda baabwe ne mikwano gyabwe. 45Bwe bataamulaba kwe kuddayo e Yerusaalemi nga bamunoonya. 46Awo nga baakamunoonyeza ennaku ssatu, ne bamusanga ng’atudde mu Yeekaalu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ng’abawuliriza awamu n’okubabuuza ebibuuzo. 472:47 Mat 7:28Bonna abaali bamuwuliriza ne beewuunya nnyo olw’amagezi ge n’okuddamu kwe. 482:48 a Mat 12:46 b Luk 3:23; 4:22Awo bazadde be bwe baamulaba ne beewuunya nnyo, nnyina n’amugamba nti, “Mwana waffe otukoze ki kino? Kitaawo nange tweraliikiridde nnyo nga tukunoonya!”
492:49 Yk 2:16Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mubadde munnoonyeza ki? Temwategedde nga kiŋŋwanidde okukola ebintu bya Kitange?” 502:50 Mak 9:32Naye ne batategeera bigambo ebyo bye yabagamba.
512:51 a nny 39; Mat 2:23 b Mat 2:19N’asituka n’agenda nabo e Nazaaleesi, n’abagonderanga; kyokka nnyina ebigambo ebyo byonna n’abikuuma mu mutima gwe. 522:52 nny 40; 1Sa 2:26; Luk 1:80Awo Yesu n’akula mu mubiri, mu magezi, era n’alaba ekisa mu maaso ga Katonda ne mu maaso g’abantu.
1And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 18And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. 21And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. 22And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; 23(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) 24And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. 25And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. 26And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, 28Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 29Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: 30For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 31Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 32A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 33And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. 34And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; 35(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 36And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. 39And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 40And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 41Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? 50And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
