NgokukaLuka 2:21-40 IsiZulu 2020 (ZUL20)
Kwathi seziphelile izinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili, umntwana wasokwa, wayeseqanjwa igama kwathiwa nguJesu, igama elalishiwo yingelosi unina engakakhulelwa. Kwathi ukuba ziphelele izinsuku zokuhlanjululwa kwabo ngokomthetho kaMose, benyukela naye eJerusalema ukuba bayomethula eNkosini, njengalokhu kulotshiwe emthethweni weNkosi ukuthi: “Konke okwesilisa okuyizibulo kuyakuthiwa okwehlukaniselwe iNkosi, nokuba banikele ngomhlatshelo njengokushiwo emthethweni weNkosi, amahobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amabili amajuba.” Kwakukhona umuntu eJerusalema, ogama lakhe kunguSimeyoni. Lo muntu wayelungile, futhi emesaba uNkulunkulu, elindele induduzo ka-Israyeli, uMoya oNgcwele wayephezu kwakhe. Wembulelwa nguMoya oNgcwele ukuthi akayukufa engakamboni uKhristu, iNkosi. Wafika ngoMoya ethempelini. Kwathi ukuba abazali balethe umntwana uJesu ethempelini ukuba bamenzele lokho okuyisiko lomthetho, wamemukela ngokumgona, wambonga uNkulunkulu, wathi: “Nkosi, sale usumukisa inceku yakho ngokuthula, njengezwi lakho, ngokuba amehlo ami ayibonile insindiso yakho oyilungisele ebusweni babantu bonke; ukukhanya kokwambulela abezizwe nenkazimulo yesizwe sakho u-Israyeli.” Uyise nonina bamangala ngalokho okukhulunywa ngaye. USimeyoni wababusisa, wathi kuMariya, unina: “Lo umiselwe ukuwa nokuvuka kwabaningi ku-Israyeli, nokuba yisibonakaliso esiphikwayo – yebo, inkemba iyakudabula nowakho umphefumulo – ukuba kwambulwe izizindlo zezinhliziyo eziningi.” Kwakukhona nomphrofethikazi, u-Ana, owayeyindodakazi kaFanuweli, wesizwe sika-Aseri; wayesekhule kakhulu. Wayehlale nendoda yakhe iminyaka eyisikhombisa emva kobuntombi bakhe. Wayengumfelokazi waze waba neminyaka engama-84, engasuki ethempelini, ekhonza ngokuzila nangokukhuleka ubusuku nemini. Naye-ke wafika ngaleso sikhathi, wamtusa uNkulunkulu, wabatshela ngaye bonke ababebheke ukukhululwa kweJerusalema. Kwathi sebekufeze konke okungokomthetho weNkosi babuyela eGalile, emzini wakubo, iNazaretha. Wakhula umntwana, waba namandla, wagcwala ukuhlakanipha; umusa kaNkulunkulu wawuphezu kwakhe.

Kwathi ukuba kuphelele izinsuku zokuhlanjululwa kwabo ngokomthetho kaMose, benyukela naye eJerusalema ukuba bammise phambi kweNkosi njengokulotshiwe emthethweni weNkosi ukuthi: “Konke okwesilisa okuyizibulo kuyakuthiwa okwahlukaniselwe iNkosi”, banikele ngomhlatshelo njengokushiwo emthethweni weNkosi: “Amahobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amabili amajuba.” Bheka, kwakukhona umuntu eJerusalema ogama lakhe linguSimeyoni; lo muntu wayelungile, emesaba uNkulunkulu, ebhekile induduzo ka-Israyeli; noMoya oNgcwele wayephezu kwakhe. Kwakubonakalisiwe kuye ngoMoya oNgcwele ukuthi akayikubona ukufa engakamboni uKristu weNkosi. Wafika ngoMoya ethempelini. Kwathi ukuba abazali balethe umntwana uJesu ethempelini ukuba benze kuye njengesiko lomthetho, wamamukela ngokumgona, wambonga uNkulunkulu, wathi: “Sale usumukisa ngokuthula inceku yakho, Somandla, njengezwi lakho, ngokuba amehlo ami abonile insindiso yakho oyilungisele ebusweni babantu bonke, ukukhanya kokwambulela abezizwe nenkazimulo yesizwe sakho u-Israyeli.” Uyise nonina bamangala ngalokho okukhulunywa ngaye. USimeyoni wababusisa, wathi kuMariya unina: “Bheka, lo umiselwe ukuwa nokuvuka kwabaningi ku-Israyeli, nesibonakaliso esiphikwayo – yebo, inkemba iyakudabula nowakho umphefumulo – ukuba kwambulwe izizindlo zezinhliziyo eziningi.” Kwakukhona nomprofethikazi, u-Ana, indodakazi kaFanuweli, owesizwe sika-Aseri; wayesekhulile kakhulu, ebehlalile nendoda iminyaka eyisikhombisa emva kobuntombi bakhe, engumfelokazi waze waba neminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nane, engasuki ethempelini, ekhonza ngokuzila nangokukhuleka ubusuku nemini. Naye-ke efika ngasona leso sikhathi wamtusa uNkulunkulu, wakhuluma ngaye kubo bonke ababebheke ukukhululwa kweJerusalema. Kwathi sebefeze konke okungokomthetho weNkosi babuyela eGalile emzini wakubo iNazaretha. Wakhula umntwana, waba namandla, wagcwala ukuhlakanipha; nomusa kaNkulunkulu wawuphezu kwakhe.
NgokukaLuka 2:21-40 Contemporary Zulu Bible 2024 (CZB24)
Kwathi seziphelile izinsuku eziyisificaminwembili zokuba umntwana asokwe, igama lakhe lathiwa uJesu, eliqanjwe ingelosi ngaphambi kokuba akhulelwe. Kwathi seziphelele izinsuku zokuhlanjululwa kwakhe ngokomthetho kaMose, bamyisa eJerusalema ukuba bamethule phambi kweNkosi; (njengokulotshiweyo emthethweni weNkosi ukuthi: Wonke owesilisa ovula isizalo uyakuthiwa ungcwele eNkosini;) nokunikela ngomhlatshelo njengokushiwo emthethweni weNkosi ukuthi: Amahobhe amabili noma amaphuphu amabili amajuba. Bheka, kwakukhona eJerusalema indoda, igama layo linguSimeyoni; futhi lo muntu wayelungile futhi esaba uNkulunkulu, elindele induduzo ka-Israyeli, futhi uMoya oNgcwele wayephezu kwakhe. Kwambulelwa kuye ngoMoya oNgcwele, ukuthi akayikubona ukufa, engakamboni uKristu weNkosi. Wasengena ethempelini ngoMoya; Wasembamba wamgona, wabonga uNkulunkulu, wathi: Manje, Nkosi, uyayiyeka inceku yakho ihambe ngokuthula njengezwi lakho. Ngokuba amehlo ami abonile insindiso yakho, Owulungisileyo phambi kobuso babantu bonke; ukukhanya kokukhanyisa abezizwe, nenkazimulo yabantu bakho u-Israyeli. UJosefa nonina bamangala ngalokho okukhulunywa ngaye. USimeyoni wababusisa, wathi kuMariya unina: “Bheka, lo umiselwe ukuwa nokuvuka kwabaningi kwa-Israyeli; futhi kube yisibonakaliso esiyophikiswa; (Yebo, nowakho inkemba iyakudabula umphefumulo wakho), ukuze kwambulwe imicabango yezinhliziyo eziningi. Kwakukhona umprofethikazi uAna, indodakazi kaFanuweli, owesizwe sika-Asheri, esemdala kakhulu, ebehlala nendoda iminyaka eyisikhombisa kusukela ebuntombini bakhe. Engumfelokazi okungathi iminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nane, ongasuki ethempelini, ekhonza uNkulunkulu ngokuzila ukudla nangokukhuleka ubusuku nemini. Naye weza ngaso leso sikhathi, wayibonga iNkosi, wakhuluma ngayo kubo bonke ababebheke ukukhululwa eJerusalema. Sebefeze konke ngokomthetho weNkosi, babuyela eGalile emzini wakubo eNazaretha. Umntwana wakhula, waba namandla, egcwala ukuhlakanipha; nomusa kaNkulunkulu wawuphezu kwakhe.
