Ivyo dusoma mu gitabu c’Umuhanuzi Izaya : 9, 1-6
(Twaragabiwe umwana w’umuhungu)

Igihugu cahora mu mukorane,
cariboneye umuco w’agatangaza,
umuco warasiye ku bantu bo muri ico gihugu c’umukorane.
Warongereje akanyamuneza kabo,
ubasesekariza agahimbare :
none bariko barakwigina,
banezerewe nk’abariko barimbura,
bishongora nk’abagabura amatungo y’abansi.
Nkako wabaremuruye umuzigo wabasenya ibikanu,
ubuhiri bwabavuna ibitugu wabugize ubunywenywe,
ikiboko c’uwabatwaza umukazo wakivunye
nka wa munsi wirahira abansi kuri Madiyani.
Inkweto z’urugamba n’ivyambarwa vyavumbagajwe mu maraso
Warabituriye umuriro urabitongora.
Nkako, umwana yatuvukiye,
twagabiwe umwana w’umuhungu ;
yavukanye intahe n’inganji,
niho bamutazira ‘Muhanuzi w’agatangaza, Mana y’ingabo,
Muvyeyi yamaho, Mwami w’amahoro’.
Inganji yiwe azoyivyagiza mu mahoro y’akatabonetse
Ku ntebe ya Dawudi n’ingoma yiwe,
ayishinge, ayishigikire mu ngingo n’ubutungane
kuva ubu no mu myaka yose.
Urukundo rutagabanuka rw’Imana Nyen’ingabo
Ruzorangura ivyo vyose kuva ubu no mu myaka yose.

Izaburi 95 (96), 1-2a. 2b-3. 11-12. 13
Icit : Uyu musi Umukiza yatuvukiye ; ni we Kristu, Mukama.

Vyinire Umukama akavyino gashasha,
nawe si iyo uva ukagera, vyinira Umukama,
vyinire Umukama izina ryiwe rihezagirwe.

Uko bukeye uko bwije, nimumenyeshe urukiza rwiwe,
mwiganire abapagani ko ari We aninahaye,
mumenyeshe ibihugu vyose ivyiza vy’agatangaza yakoze.

Ijuru nirihimbarwe, isi nay o itarike,
ikiyaga n’ivyo gitunze bitere akamo,
imirima n’ivyamwa nibihimbarwe !

Ibiti vyo mw’idonzi binezerwe,
n’uko bibonye Umukama ariko araza,
ashogomanga gucira urubanza isi.

Ivyo dusoma mu Njili Nyeranda yanditswe na Luka : 2, 1-14
(Uyu musi, Umukiza yabavukiye)

Muri irya misi, haje itegeko rya Sezari Ogusto ryategereza abantu b’isi yose kwiyandikisha. Uwatanguye kubaharura ni Kwiriniyo, icariho co mu Busiriya. Bose rero baragenda kwiyandikisha, umuntu wese mu gisagara ciwe. Yozefu na we nyene ava mu gisagara ca Nazareti mu Bugalile, aduga mu Buyudeha, mu gisagara ca Dawudi citwa Betelehemu, kuko yamuka mu gisata no mu muryango wa Dawudi ; agenda kwiyandikisha be na Mariya umukenyezi wiwe, na we yari yibungenze.
Bashitseyo, bihwanirana n’uko ageze kwibaruka. Yibaruka umuhungu, imfura yiwe, amworosa udushambara, amuryamika mu bwato bw’inka, kuko bari babuze indaro mu nzu z’abashitsi.
Hafi yaho, hari abungere, barara barakuranwa kurarira amasho yabo. Umumalayika w’Umukama arababonekera, umuco w’Umukama urabakikiza ; bagira ubwoba bwinshi.
Nya mumalayika arababwira ati : « Subize umutima mu nda, ndabazaniye inkuru nziza, iza kunezereza igihugu cose. Uyu musi, mu gisagara ca Dawudi, Umukiza yabavukiye : ni We Kristu Mukama. Ikiza kumubamenyesha ni iki : muza gusanga akayoya karyamye mu bwato bw’inka, koroshwe udushambara. »
Buno nyene, abandi bamalayika bavuye mw’ijuru baja hamwe n’uwambere, bashimagiza Imana, bavuga bati : « Imana ininahazwe mw’ijuru, kw’isi na ho hayagwe amahoro ku bakunzi bayo. »
