Kuvuka kwa Yesu
1 Nuko muri iyo minsi itegeko riva kwa Kayisari Awugusito, ngo abo mu bihugu bye bose bandikwe.
2 Uko ni ko kwandikwa kwa mbere, kwabayeho Kureniyo ategeka i Siriya.
3 Bose bajya kwiyandikisha, umuntu wese ajya mu mudugudu w’iwabo.
4 Yosefu na we ava i Galilaya mu mudugudu w’i Nazareti, ajya i Yudaya mu mudugudu wa Dawidi witwa i Betelehemu, kuko yari uwo mu nzu ya Dawidi no mu muryango we,
5 ajya kwiyandikishanya na Mariya, uwo yasabye wari utwite.
6 Bakiri iyo igihe cye cyo kubyara kirasohora,
7 abyara umuhungu w’imfura amworosa imyenda y’impinja, amuryamisha mu muvure w’inka kuko bari babuze umwanya mu icumbi.
Marayika abwira abungeri ko Yesu avutse
8 Muri icyo gihugu harimo abungeri bararaga ku gikumba, bahindana kurinda umukumbi wabo.
9 Nuko marayika w’Umwami Imana abahagarara iruhande, ubwiza bw’Umwami burabagirana bubagota impande zose bagira ubwoba bwinshi.
10 Marayika arababwira ati “Mwitinya, dore ndababwira ubutumwa bwiza bw’umunezero mwinshi uzaba ku bantu bose,
11 kuko uyu munsi Umukiza abavukiye mu murwa wa Dawidi, uzaba Kristo Umwami.
12 Iki ni cyo kiri bubabere ikimenyetso: ni uko muri busange umwana w’uruhinja yoroshwe imyenda y’impinja, aryamishijwe mu muvure w’inka.”
13 Muri ako kanya haboneka ingabo zo mu ijuru nyinshi ziri kumwe na marayika uwo, zisingiza Imana ziti
14 “Mu ijuru icyubahiro kibe icy’Imana,
No mu isi amahoro abe mu bo yishimira.”
15 Abamarayika bamaze gusubira mu ijuru abungeri baravugana bati “Nimuze tujye i Betelehemu turebe ibyabayeyo, ibyo Umwami Imana itumenyesheje.”
16 Bagenda bihuta, basanga Mariya na Yosefu n’umwana w’uruhinja aryamishijwe mu muvure w’inka.
17 Babibonye babatekerereza iby’uwo mwana nk’uko babibwiwe.
18 Ababumvise bose batangazwa n’ibyo abungeri bababwiye.
19 Ariko Mariya abika ayo magambo yose mu mutima we, akajya ayatekereza.
20 Maze abungeri basubirayo bahimbaza, bashima Imana ku byo bumvise byose no ku byo babonye nk’uko babibwiwe.
Bakeba Yesu bamumurikira Imana
21 Nuko iminsi munani ishize arakebwa bamwita Yesu, rya zina ryari ryaravuzwe na marayika, nyina atarasama inda ye.
22 Iminsi yo kwezwa kwabo ishize, bakurikije amategeko ya Mose, bamujyana i Yerusalemu ngo bamumurikire Umwami Imana,
23 (nk’uko byanditswe mu mategeko y’Umwami ngo “Umuhungu wese w’uburiza azitwa uwera ku Uwiteka”),
24 batamba n’igitambo nk’uko byavuzwe mu mategeko y’Umwami ngo “Intungura ebyiri cyangwa ibyana by’inuma bibiri.”
25 I Yerusalemu hariho umuntu witwaga Simiyoni. Uwo yari umukiranutsi witonda kandi yategerezaga Ihumure ry’Abisirayeli, Umwuka Wera yari muri we.
26 Yari yarahanuriwe n’Umwuka Wera, ko atazapfa atarabona Kristo w’Umwami Imana.
27 Ajyanwa n’Umwuka mu rusengero, maze ababyeyi bajyanye umwana Yesu ngo bamugenze nk’uko umuhango w’amategeko wari uri,
28 Simiyoni aramuterura ashima Imana ati
29 “Mwami, noneho urasezerere umugaragu wawe amahoro nk’uko wabivuze,
30 Kuko amaso yanjye abonye agakiza kawe,
31 Ako witeguye mu maso y’abantu bose,
32 Kuba umucyo uvira amahanga,
No kuba ubwiza bw’ubwoko bwawe bw’Abisirayeli.”
33 Se na nyina batangazwa n’ayo magambo avuzwe kuri we.
34 Simiyoni abaha impundu abwira nyina Mariya ati “Dore uyu ashyiriweho kugira ngo benshi mu Bisirayeli bagwe, benshi babyuke, abe n’ikimenyetso kigīrwa impaka,
35 ngo ibyo abantu benshi batekereza mu mitima bizahishurwe, kandi nawe inkota izagucumita mu mutima.”
36 Hariho n’umuhanuzikazi witwaga Ana, mwene Fanuweli wo mu muryango wa Asheri, yari umukecuru wa kera. Amaze gushyingirwa yamaranye n’umugabo we imyaka irindwi,
37 noneho amara imyaka mirongo inani n’ine ari umupfakazi. Yahoraga mu rusengero aramya Imana, yiyiriza ubusa, asenga ku manywa na nijoro.
38 Muri uwo mwanya na we araza ashima Imana, avuga ibya Yesu abibwira bose bari bategereje gucungurwa kw’i Yerusalemu.
39 Ababyeyi ba Yesubarangije ibyategetswe n’amategeko y’Umwami Imana byose, basubira i Galilaya mu mudugudu wabo i Nazareti.
40 Nuko uwo mwana arakura, agwiza imbaraga, yuzuzwa ubwenge kandi ubuntu bw’Imana bwari muri we.
Yesu yisigarira i Yerusalemu
41 Uko umwaka utashye, ababyeyi be bajyaga i Yerusalemu mu minsi mikuru ya Pasika.
42 Nuko amaze imyaka cumi n’ibiri avutse, barazamuka nk’uko umugenzo w’iyo minsi mikuru wari uri.
43 Bamaze iyo minsi basubirayo, uwo mwana Yesu asigara i Yerusalemu ababyeyi be batabizi.
44 Icyakora bibwiraga yuko ari mu itara ry’abantu bajyanye na bo, nuko bagenda urugendo rw’umunsi umwe maze bamushakira muri bene wabo no mu ncuti zabo,
45 bamubuze basubira i Yerusalemu bamushaka.
46 Hashize iminsi itatu bamubona mu rusengero yicaye hagati y’abigisha, abateze amatwi kandi ababaza.
47 Abamwumvise bose batangazwa n’ubwenge bwe n’ibyo abasubiza.
48 Bamubonye baratangara nyina aramubaza ati “Mwana wanjye, ni iki cyatumye utugenza utya? Dore jye na so twagushatse dufite umutima uhagaze.”
49 Arabasubiza ati “Mwanshakiraga iki? Ntimuzi yuko binkwiriye kuba mu rugo rwa Data?”
50 Ntibasobanukirwa n’iryo jambo ababwiye.
51 Amanukana na bo ajya i Nazareti, agahora abumvira. Ibyo byose nyina abibika mu mutima we.
52 Yesu akomeza kugwiza ubwenge, abyiruka ashimwa n’Imana n’abantu.
