Joseph also went up from Galil, out of the city of Natzeret, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;

6 A om rhoi kuelhuelh ah a caom tue loh a kae.
It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.
7 Tedae a capa camingomthang te a cun vaengah tah impahnah ah hmuen a om pawt dongah a yol tih khongduk dongah a soei.
And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him with pieces of cloth, and placed him in a feeding trough, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 Te vaengah amah tekah pingpang ah tudawn rhoek om uh. A tuping te khoyin ah thongimla a khoem uh tih a rhaeh thiluh.
There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn tah amih taengah a phoe pah. Amih te Boeipa kah thangpomnah loh a tue dongah rhihnah neh bahoeng a rhih uh.
And look, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 Tedae amih te puencawn loh, “Rhih uh boeh, pilnam boeih taengah aka om ham omngaihnah tanglue te nangmih taengah olthangthen kan thui he.
The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for see, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
11 Tihnin ah nangmih ham khangkung om coeng. Anih tah David khopuei ah Khrih Boeipa la om coeng.
For there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Messiah, the Lord.
12 Nangmih ham miknoek pakhat om vetih, cahni te a yol phoeiah kongduk dongah a yalh te na hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
13 Te vaengah puencawn te vaan caempuei rhaengpuei loh tarha a om puei tih Pathen te a thangthen uh.
Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying,
14 Te vaengah, “Pathen te a sangkoek ah thangpomnah om saeh, diklai ah rhoepnah neh hlang rhoek soah a kolonah om saeh,” a ti uh.
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward humankind."

And it happened that when the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."
16 Te phoeiah, tatloe la cet uh tih Mary, Joseph neh kongduk dong ah aka yalh cahni te a hmuh uh.
They came with haste, and found both Miriam and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.

When they saw it, they made known the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18 Amih taengah tudawn rhoek loh a thui te aka ya rhoek boeih tah a ngaihmang uh.
All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 Tedae Mary loh tekah olka te boeih a kuem tih a thinko ah a khing a mong.
But Miriam kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 Tudawn rhoek tah amih taengah a thui pah bangla boeih a hmuh uh. A yaak uh dongah te Pathen a thangpom uh tih a thangthen uh phoeiah bal uh.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
21 Hnin rhet cup coeng tih, camoe te yahvin a rhet vaengah tah a ming te Jesuh a sui. Te tah bung khuikah a yom hlanah puencawn kah a sui pah coeng ni.
When eight days were fulfilled to circumcise him, his name was called Yeshua, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

And look, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Shim'on. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Ruach ha-Kodesh was on him.
26 Mueihla Cim loh anih taengah, “Boeipa kah Khrih te a hmuh hlan atah dueknah na hmu mahpawh, “tila a mangthui tangtae te om.
It had been revealed to him by the Ruach ha-Kodesh that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Messiah.

He came in the Ruach into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Yeshua, that they might do concerning him according to the requirement of the Law,
28 Te phoeiah Simeon loh a kut dongah a doe tih Pathen te a uem.
then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Te vaengah, “Boeikung na sal he na olthui bangla ngaimongnah neh nan hlah coeng.
"Now you are releasing your servant, Lord, according to your word, in peace;

34 Simeon loh amih te yoethen a paek tih a manu Mary taeng ah, “Anih he Israel khuiah a yet kah a bungnah neh thohkoepnah ham neh boekoek miknoek la a khueh coeng he.
and Shim'on blessed them, and said to Miriam, his mother, "Look, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 Namah neh namah khaw na hinglu thunglang loh n'rhaih ni. Te daengah ni thinko kah poeknah te poeng a pumphoe eh?,” a ti nah.
Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
36 Te vaengah Asher koca kah Phanuel canu tonghmanu Anna om tih a kum khaw muep patong coeng. Anih he a hula lamloh a va neh kum rhih bueng hing rhoi.
There was one Hannah, a prophetess, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,

Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 Boeipa kah olkhueng bangla boeih a soep vaengah te amah kho Galilee, Nazareth la bal rhoi.
When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galil, to their own city, Natzeret.

His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
42 Kum hlainit a lo vaengah khotue kah khosing bangla amih te cet uh.
When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the feast,
43 Khohnin te cup tih a a bal uh vaengah cadong Jesuh tah Jerusalem ah uelh tih a manu napa loh ming pawh.
and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Yeshua stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,
44 Jesuh te lambong khuiah om tila a poek uh dae hnin at long caeh phoeiah tah a huiko neh a hmat taengah a tlap rhoi.
but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 A hmuh rhoi pawt dongah anih tlap ham Jerusalem la mael rhoi.
When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.

When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Look, your father and I were anxiously looking for you."
49 Te vaengah amih rhoi te, “Balae kai nan toem rhoi? A pa im ah ka om ham a kuek te na ming rhoi mahnim?” a ti nah.
He said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be doing the works of my Father?"
50 Tedae amih rhoi taengah a thui pah olka te amih rhoi loh a hmuhming rhoi moenih.
They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
51 Te phoeiah amih rhoi taengah cet tih Nazareth la pawk uh. A taengah boengai la om tih olka te a manu loh a thinko ah boeih a khoem.
And he went down with them, and came to Natzeret. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Jesuh tah cueihnah neh pumrho ah rhoeng tih Pathen neh hlang taengah lungvatnah a dang.
And Yeshua increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
