Luka 2
1Kwathi ngalezo zinsuku kwaphuma isimemezelo kuKesari Awugustu sokuba kubalwe izwe lonke.
2(Lokhu kubalwa okokuqala kwenziwa uKhureniyu engumbusi waseSiriya.)
3Basebehamba bonke ukuyabhaliswa, ngulowo lalowo emzini wakubo.
4Laye uJosefa wakhuphuka eGalile emzini waseNazaretha, waya eJudiya, emzini kaDavide othiwa iBetlehema; (ngokuba wayengowendlu nozalo lukaDavide;)
5eyakubhaliswa kanye noMariya owayemthembise umshado, esekhulelwe.
6Kwathi beselapho, zaphelela izinsuku zokuba abelethe.
7Wazala izibulo lakhe, wayisonga ngezindwangu, walilalisa emkhombeni; ngoba kwakungelandawo yabo endlini yezihambi.
8Kwakukhona abelusi kulelo zwe ababehlezi endle, belinda umhlambi wabo ebusuku.
9Bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yaba phezu kwabo, nenkazimulo yeNkosi yabakhanyisa nxazonke, besaba kakhulu.
10Ingelosi yathi kubo: “Ningesabi;
11Ngokuba nizalelwe namuhla uMsindisi onguKristu iNkosi emzini kaDavide.
12Lokhu kuyakuba yisibonakaliso kini; Niyakufumana umntwana esongwe ezindwangu, elele emkhombeni.
13Njalo kwahle kwaba khona kanye lengilosi ixuku lebutho lasezulwini, lidumisa uNkulunkulu, lisithi:
14Udumo kuNkulunkulu kweliphezulu, nokuthula emhlabeni kubantu abathakazelelwayo.
15Kwathi izingelosi sezimuka kubo zisiya ezulwini, abelusi bakhuluma omunye komunye, bathi: “Masiye eBetlehema, sibone lokhu okwenzekileyo, uJehova esisazise khona.
16Basebesiza ngokuphangisa, bafica uMariya, loJosefa, losane lulele emkhombeni.
17Sebekubonile balandisa izwi ababelitshelwe ngalo ngomntwana.
18Bonke abezwayo bamangala ngalokho ababekukhulunywe ngabelusi kubo.
19Kodwa uMariya wagcina zonke lezizinto, ezindla ngakho enhliziyweni yakhe.
20Babuya abelusi, bemdumisa, bembonga uNkulunkulu ngakho konke ababekuzwile nabakubonile, njengalokho kwakukhulunyiwe kubo.
21Kwathi seziphelile izinsuku eziyisificaminwembili zokuba umntwana asokwe, igama lakhe lathiwa uJesu, eliqanjwe ingelosi ngaphambi kokuba akhulelwe.
22Kwathi seziphelele izinsuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe ngokomthetho kaMose, bamyisa eJerusalema ukuba bamethule phambi kweNkosi;
23(njengokulotshiweyo emthethweni weNkosi ukuthi: Wonke owesilisa ovula isizalo uyakuthiwa ungcwele eNkosini;)
24nokunikela ngomhlatshelo njengokushiwo emthethweni weNkosi ukuthi: Amahobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amabili amajuba.
25Bheka, kwakukhona eJerusalema indoda, igama layo linguSimeyoni; futhi lo muntu wayelungile futhi esaba uNkulunkulu, elindele induduzo ka-Israyeli, futhi uMoya oNgcwele wayephezu kwakhe.
26Kwambulelwa kuye ngoMoya oNgcwele, ukuthi akayikubona ukufa, engakamboni uKristu weNkosi.
27Wasengena ethempelini ngoMoya;
28Wasembamba wamgona, wabonga uNkulunkulu, wathi:
29Manje, Nkosi, uyayiyeka inceku yakho ihambe ngokuthula njengezwi lakho.
30Ngokuba amehlo ami abonile insindiso yakho,
31Owulungisileyo phambi kobuso babantu bonke;
32ukukhanya kokukhanyisa abezizwe, nenkazimulo yabantu bakho u-Israyeli.
33UJosefa nonina bamangala ngalokho okukhulunywa ngaye.
34USimeyoni wababusisa, wathi kuMariya unina: “Bheka, lo umiselwe ukuwa nokuvuka kwabaningi kwa-Israyeli; futhi kube yisibonakaliso esiyophikiswa;
35(Yebo, nowakho inkemba iyakudabula umphefumulo wakho), ukuze kwambulwe imicabango yezinhliziyo eziningi.
36Kwakukhona umprofethikazi uAna, indodakazi kaFanuweli, owesizwe sika-Asheri, esemdala kakhulu, ebehlala nendoda iminyaka eyisikhombisa kusukela ebuntombini bakhe.
37Engumfelokazi okungathi iminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nane, ongasuki ethempelini, ekhonza uNkulunkulu ngokuzila ukudla nangokukhuleka ubusuku nemini.
38Naye weza ngaso leso sikhathi, wayibonga iNkosi, wakhuluma ngayo kubo bonke ababebheke ukukhululwa eJerusalema.
39Sebefeze konke ngokomthetho weNkosi, babuyela eGalile emzini wakubo eNazaretha.
40Umntwana wakhula, waba namandla, egcwala ukuhlakanipha; nomusa kaNkulunkulu wawuphezu kwakhe.
41Abazali bakhe baya eJerusalema iminyaka ngeminyaka ngomkhosi wePhasika.
42Kwathi eseneminyaka eyishumi nambili, bakhuphukela eJerusalema njengomkhuba womkhosi.
43Sebeziqedile izinsuku, ekubuyeni kwabo, umntwana uJesu wasala eJerusalema; uJosefa lonina babengazi.
44Kepha bona babethi uphakathi kwesixuku bahamba ibanga losuku; bamdinga phakathi kwezihlobo nezihlobo zabo.
45Kuthe bengamtholi, babuyela eJerusalema, bemfuna.
46Kwathi emva kwezinsuku ezintathu bamfumana ethempelini, ehlezi phakathi kwabafundisi, ebazwa, ebabuza.
47Bonke ababemuzwa bamangala ngokuqonda kwakhe nezimpendulo zakhe.
48Sebembonile bamangala; unina wathi kuye: Mntwana, usenzeleni okunje? bheka, uyihlo nami besikufuna silusizi.
49Wathi kubo: Beningifunelani na? beningazi yini ukuthi ngifanele ukuba kokukaBaba na?
50Kepha bona abakuqondanga lokho abekusho kubo.
51Wehla nabo, wafika eNazaretha, wabathobela, kepha unina wawagcina onke lawo mazwi enhliziyweni yakhe.
52UJesu waqhubeka ekuhlakanipheni nasekukhuleni nasekuthandeni uNkulunkulu nakubantu.
