[1] Mʼmasiku amenewo Kaisara Augusto anapereka lamulo kuti kalembera achitike mʼdziko lonse la Aroma. [2] (Uyu ndi kalembera woyamba amene anachitika pamene Kureniyo anali bwanamkubwa wa Siriya). [3] Ndipo aliyense anapita ku mzinda wa kwawo kukalembetsa. [4] Choncho Yosefe anachoka ku Nazareti ku Galileya kupita ku Yudeya, ku Betelehemu ku mudzi wa Davide, chifukwa anali wa banja ndi fuko la Davide. [5] Iye anapita kumeneko kukalembetsa pamodzi ndi Mariya, amene anapalana naye ubwenzi kuti akwatirane ndipo anali woyembekezera. [6] Ali kumeneko, nthawi inakwana yakuti mwana abadwe, [7] ndipo anabereka mwana wake woyamba, wamwamuna. Iye anamukulunga mʼnsalu ndi kumuyika modyera ngʼombe, chifukwa kunalibe malo mʼnyumba ya alendo. [8] Ndipo kunali abusa amene amakhala ku dera lomwelo, kuyangʼanira ziweto zawo usiku. [9] Mngelo wa Ambuye anaonekera kwa iwo ndipo ulemerero wa Ambuye unawala mowazungulira. Iwo anachita mantha. [10] Koma mngeloyo anawawuza kuti, “Musachite mantha. Ine ndakubweretserani Uthenga Wabwino wachimwemwe chachikulu umene udzakhala wa anthu onse. [11] Lero mʼmudzi wa Davide wakubwadwirani Mpulumutsi; Iye ndi Khristu Ambuye. [12] Ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro kwa inu: mukapeza mwana wakhanda wokutidwa ndi nsalu atagona modyera ngʼombe.” [13] Mwadzidzidzi gulu lalikulu la angelo linaonekera pamodzi ndi mngeloyo, kuyamika Mulungu ndi kumati, [14] “Ulemerero kwa Mulungu mmwambamwamba, ndi mtendere kwa anthu pa dziko lapansi amene Iye akondwera nawo.” [15] Angelowo atabwerera kumwamba, abusawo anati kwa wina ndi mnzake, “Tiyeni ku Betelehemu tikaone zinthu zomwe zachitika, zimene Ambuye atiwuza ife.” [16] Ndipo iwo anafulumira nyamuka nakapeza Mariya ndi Yosefe ndi mwana wakhanda, amene anagona modyera ngʼombe. [17] Pamene anamuona Iye, iwo anafotokoza zomwe anawuzidwa za mwanayo, [18] ndipo onse amene anamva zimene abusawa ananena anadabwa. [19] Koma Mariya anasunga zonsezi mu mtima mwake ndi kumazilingalira. [20] Abusa anabwerera, akulemekeza ndi kuyamika Mulungu chifukwa cha zonse anazimva ndi kuziona, zomwe zinali monga anawuzidwira ndi angelo aja. [21] Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu, tsiku loti amuchite mdulidwe anamutcha Yesu, dzina limene mngelo anamupatsa asanabadwe. [22] Nthawi yoyeretsedwa kwawo itatha, monga mwa lamulo la Mose, Yosefe ndi Mariya anapita naye ku Yerusalemu kukamupereka kwa Ambuye. [23] (Monga mmene zinalembedwera mu lamulo la Ambuye kuti, “Muzikapereka kwa Ambuye mwana aliyense wamwamuna woyamba kubadwa”), [24] ndi kupereka nsembe posunga zimene zinanenedwa mulamulo la Ambuye: “Njiwa ziwiri kapena mawunda ankhunda awiri.” [25] Ndipo taonani, mu Yerusalemu munali munthu wotchedwa Simeoni, amene anali wolungama ndi wodzipereka. Iye ankadikira chitonthozo cha Israeli, ndipo Mzimu Woyera anali pa iye. [26] Mzimu Woyera anamuwululira kuti sadzafa asanaone Khristu wa Ambuye. [27] Motsogozedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, iye anapita ku bwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu. Makolo ake a Yesu atabwera naye kuti achite naye mwambo malingana ndi malamulo, [28] Simeoni anamunyamula mʼmanja mwake nayamika Mulungu, nati: [29] “Ambuye waulamuliro, monga munalonjeza, tsopano lolani kuti mtumiki wanu apite mu mtendere. [30] Pakuti maso anga aona chipulumutso chanu, [31] chimene Inu munakonza pamaso pa anthu onse, [32] kuwala kowunikira anthu a mitundu ina ndi kwa ulemerero kwa anthu anu Aisraeli.” [33] Abambo ndi amayi a Mwanayo anadabwa chifukwa cha zimene zinanenedwa za Iye. [34] Kenaka Simeoni anawadalitsa ndipo anati kwa Mariya amayi ake: “Mwana uyu wakonzedwa kukhala kugwa ndi kudzuka kwa ambiri mu Israeli, ndi kukhala chizindikiro chimene adzayankhula motsutsana nacho, [35] kotero kuti malingaliro a mitima ya ambiri adzawululidwa. Ndipo lupanga lidzabaya moyo wakonso.” [36] Panalinso mneneri wamkazi, dzina lake Ana, mwana wa Fanuelo, wa fuko la Aseri. Anali wokalamba kwambiri; anakhala ndi mwamuna wake zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri atakwatiwa, [37] ndipo kenaka anakhala wamasiye mpaka pamene anali ndi zaka 84. Iye sanachoke mʼNyumba ya Mulungu koma ankapembedza usiku ndi usana, kusala kudya ndi kupemphera. [38] Pa nthawiyo pamene ankapita kwa iwo, iye anayamika Mulungu ndi kuyankhula za Mwanayo kwa onse amene ankayembekezera chipulumutso cha Yerusalemu. [39] Yosefe ndi Mariya atachita zonse zimene zinkafunikira ndi lamulo la Ambuye, anabwerera ku Galileya ku mudzi wa Nazareti. [40] Ndipo Mwanayo anakula nakhala wamphamvu; Iye anadzazidwa ndi nzeru, ndipo chisomo cha Mulungu chinali pa Iye. [41] Chaka chilichonse makolo ake ankapita ku Yerusalemu ku phwando la Paska. [42] Iye ali ndi zaka khumi ndi ziwiri, anapita ku phwando, monga mwa mwambo. [43] Phwando litatha, pamene makolo ake ankabwerera kwawo, mnyamata Yesu anatsalira ku Yerusalemu, koma iwo sanadziwe zimenezi. [44] Poganiza kuti anali nawo mʼgulu lawo, anayenda tsiku limodzi. Kenaka anayamba kumufunafuna pakati pa abale awo ndi anzawo. [45] Atalephera kumupeza, anabwerera ku Yerusalemu kukamufuna. [46] Patatha masiku atatu anamupeza ali mʼbwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu, atakhala pakati pa aphunzitsi, akumvetsera ndi kuwafunsa mafunso. [47] Aliyense amene anamumva Iye anadabwa ndi chidziwitso chake ndi mayankho ake. [48] Makolo ake atamuona, anadabwa. Amayi ake anati kwa Iye, “Mwanawe, watichitira zimenezi chifukwa chiyani? Abambo ako ndi ine takhala tili ndi nkhawa kukufunafuna Iwe.” [49] Iye anawafunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mumandifunafuna? Kodi simukudziwa kuti ndikuyenera kukhala mʼnyumba ya Atate anga?” [50] Koma iwo sanazindikire chomwe Iye amatanthauza. [51] Kenaka anapita nawo ku Nazareti ndipo anawamvera iwo. Koma amayi ake anasunga zinthu zonsezi mu mtima mwawo. [52] Ndipo Yesu anakula mu nzeru, msinkhu ndi chisomo cha Mulungu ndi anthu.
