Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went forth a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the inhabitants of the land should be enrolled.
Acunüng, sangpuxang Awkastan naw Romah khaw avan üng ami ngming ami yuk vaia ngthu a jah pet.
2 This enrollment first took place when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.
Ahina ngming yuknak cun Kurenih, Siria üng a bawi kum üng akcük säiha ngming yuknaka kyaki.
3 And all went to be enrolled, each one to his own city.
Acunüng, khyang ami van ami ngming yu khai hea, ami khaw nu phäh phäha citki he.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (for he was of the house and family of David, ).
Josep pi Davita khui üngka la ksawna akyaa phäha, Kalile khaw Nazaret üngka naw, Judah hne Davita mlüh Bethlehem ami tia,
5 to be enrolled with Mary his betrothed wife, who was with child.
a khyu vaia ami mkhyäp Marih a m’yai mah am ani ngming yu khai xawia citki xawi.
6 And it came to pass while they were there, that the days for her to be delivered were completed;
Bethlehema ani ve üng Marih cun a canak vaia mhmüp küm lawki.
7 and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swathing-clothes, and laid him in the stable, because there was no place for them in the inn.
Acunüng, a ca kcük kpamica a canak, jih am hlawp lü, khin ima am ani ngsut hnga phäha, sepata einak kawng üng a msän.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds, living in the open field, and guarding their flock by night.
Acunüng, acuna khawa toksäm he, kpyawnga ami to he jah k’äih u lü mthana awmki he.
9 And, behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were greatly afraid.
Ng'ngaia Bawipa khankhawngsä mat ami maa ngdüi law lü, Bawipa a hlüngtainak ami ksunga vai law se, aktäa kyükyawki he.
10 And the angel said to them: Be not afraid; for, behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which shall be for all people.
Acunüng, khankhawngsä naw, “Ä kyü ua, ng'ngai ua, khyang avana phäha, jekyainaka thangkdaw ka ning jah thak lawki ni.
11 For there is born for you this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
“Tuhngawi Davita mlüha küikyan bawi, Bawipa Khritaw, nami hama hmiki.
12 And this shall be to you the sign: you will find the babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, and lying in a stable.
“Hin hin nami msingnak vaia kya ve: Hnasen jih am hlawp, sepata einak kawng üng ngjän se nami hmu khai,” a ti.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying:
Acunja, khankhawngsä pä he la khankhawngsä cun Pamhnama veia mhlünmtainak ng’äi mcuki he.
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men.
“Pamhnam cun ak'hlüng säih khankhaw cäpa hlüngtai se, khawmdek khana a jah jenak khyang hea khana ngkhawtnak ve se,” tia, Pamhnam mküimtoki he.
15 And it came to pass, that, after the angels had gone away into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
Acunüng, hinkba kyaki, khankhawngsä he naw khankhawa ami jah cehtak be la, toksäm he naw, “Atuh Bethlehem khaw cäpa mi cit u lü, Bawipa naw ngthu a jah mtheh pha lawki cun mi va teng vai,” ami ti.
16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the stable.
Acunüng cit tele u lü, Marih, Josep la, sepata einak kawng üng ngjänkia hnasen ami jah hmuh.
17 And after they had seen it, they made known everywhere the words that had been spoken to them of this child.
Acunüng, ami va hmuh khap üng, hnasena mawng khankhawngsä naw a jah mtheh cun aktäa ami pyen.
18 And all that heard, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Acunüng, toksäm hea ngthu pyen ngjaki he avan cun, aktäa cäicahki he.
19 But Mary kept all these things in her mind, and pondered them in her heart.
Cunsepi Marih naw, acuna ngthu avan cun ngai lü, a mlung k'uma a tak.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen, as it had been told to them.
Toksämke naw, khankhawngsäa a jah mtheha kba, ahmäi hmu u lü ami sima phäha, Pamhnam mhlünmtai mküimto u lü cit beki he.
21 And when eight days were completed for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, as it had been called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb.
Acunüng, a vun mawihnak vai pat mat aküm käna a nua puk k'um üng am a awm hlan üng khankhawngsä he naw ami suia kba, Jesuha ami sui.
22 And when the days for their purification were completed according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
Acunüng, Mosia ngthumkhän peta kba, ngcimcaihnak vaia mhmüp a küm law üng, a nu la a pa naw hnasen cun Jerusalema cehpüi ni lü,
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
ca kcük kpamica he cun Pamhnama ka vaia jah ngcimcaihsak vai tia Mosia ngthumkhän üng a awma kba, Pamhnama veia pe ni lü,
24 and to offer a sacrifice, according to that which is commanded in the law of the Lord: A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
Bawipa ngthumkhän üng mümca nghngih, am acunüng mümkyap nghngih jah hnim vai ti lü a awma kba ani pawh.
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon. And this man was just and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him:
Acunüng, Jerusalema Simeon ngming naki khyang mat awmki, acun cun khyangsungpyun, Pamhnam jum lü, Isarel hea küikyanak vai a na ngak'uhki, a khana ngmüimkhya ngcim naw a awmnaka kyaki.
26 and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Anointed.
Ani cun Bawipa Khritaw am a hmuh hama küt üng am thi khai tia ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw ana ksingsaka kyaki.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
Acunüng, hnasen Jesuh, a nu la a pa naw Temple k'uma, thuma kba pawh pet vaia ani lawpüi üng, Simeon cun ngmüimkhya naw ngkhahpüi se Temple k'uma law lü,
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
a kut am hnasen kpawmki naw, Pamhnam mküimto lü,
29 Now, Lord, thou dost let thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word,
“Bawipa aw, atuh na ngthua kba na m'ya dim’yenak am na cehsak be khaia kya ve,
30 for my eyes have seen thy salvation,
na küikyanak atuh ka mik am hmu veng,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
khyang avana hmuh vaia na pyan cen:
32 a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Paca kcea veia na vainak sang hü khai la, na khyang Isarel hea hlüngtainak vai cun,” a ti.
33 And Joseph and his mother wondered at the things which were spoken of him.
Acunüng acunkba hnasena mawng a pyen cun a nu la a pa naw aktäa ani kyühkhyai.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign to be spoken against,
Acunüng Simeon naw ani cun josenak am kbe lü, a nu Mariha veia, “Ngaia, hina hnasen hin Isarel he üng khyang khawjaha pyehnak vai la küikyanak vaia Mhnam naw a xü ni. Acunüng khyang naw ami pyenei vaia msingnaka mcawna kyaki.
35 (and a sword shall pierce through your own soul, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
“Khyang khawjaha ami ngaihkyunak a ngdangnak vaia, kcim naw namäta mlung pi ning sun khai,” a ti.
36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; she was of great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity:
Acunüng sahma hmeinu mat Anna ami ti Panuelaha canu, Ashea mjü üngka awmki.
37 and she was a widow of about eighty-four years, and she departed not from the temple, but served, day and night, with fastings and prayers.
Acunüng kum khyüh cei mah lü kum khyetkip la kphyü lawki hmeinu, Pamhnama Temple am ceh ta lü, amhmüp amthan, a ei jeih lü ktaiyü lü, Pamhnam sawkhahki.
38 And she came in at that hour, and gave thanks to Lord, and spoke of him to all that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
Ani pi acun la Pamhnama ima law lü, Pamhnama veia jekyainaka ngthu pyen lü, Jerusalema lätnak vai ngak'uheiki hea veia, hnasena mawng cun a jah mtheh.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Acunüng, Bawipa ngthupeta kba Josep la Marih cun ahmäi ani pawh khap üng, animäta khaw Kalile, Nazaret khawa cit beki xawi.
40 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
Acunüng, anghmaw cun ngbaü law lü, a mlung ngainak kyan law ksetam tam lü, ksingkhyapnak am be law se, Pamhnama m'yeneinak a khana awmki.
41 And his parents went up every year to Jerusalem, at the feast of passover.
Kphyawnpawi buhpawhnaka Jesuha nu la a pa akum tä se Jerusalema cit khawiki xawi.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast.
Acunüng, Jesuh a kum xaleinghngih üng buhpawhnaka, ami thum khawia kba Jerusalema hang citki he.
43 And when they had kept the full number of days, and had set out to return, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew it not.
Acuna mhmüp ngpäng se, ami nghlat law be üng, kpamica Jesuh cun Jerusalema awmei hütki. Acun, a nu la Josep naw am ani ksing.
44 But supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their relatives and acquaintance;
A nu la Josep naw Jesuh cun a püi anghmawea veia awmkia ngai ni lü, mhmüp mat ana citki xawi, acunüng ami püi he la ami mjü hea veia ani sui hü.
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
Acunüng, am ani hmu üng, Jerusalema nghlat be ni lü ani sui.
46 And it came to pass, after three days, that they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
Acunüng, amhmüp kthum käna, Temple k'uma saja hea ksunga ngaw lü, ami pyen jah ngai lü, jah kthäh lü awm se ani hmuh be.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding, and his answers.
Acunüng, a ngthu ngjaki he naw, a ksingnak la a jah msangnakea phäha aktäa cäiki he.
48 And when they saw him they were amazed. And his mother said to him: Child, why have you acted thus toward us? Behold, your father and I have sought for you in sorrow.
Acunüng, ani va hmuh üng, aktäa cäi ni lü, a nu naw, “Ka capa aw, ivai hinkba na awmki ni? Ngaia na pa la kei cäi ni lü, kani ning sui hüki hin,” a ti.
49 And he said to them: Why did you seek for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?
Jesuh naw, “Ivai nani na sui hüki ni? Ka pa ima ka awm khai ti am nani ksingki aw?” ti lü a jah msang.
50 And they did not understand the words which he spoke to them.
Cunsepi, a jah msangnaka suilam cun am ani ksing.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. And his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Acunüng, ani hlawnga law be lü, Nazareta law beki, acuia ani mtheh ngai lü awmki. Acunüng a nu naw, avan a mlung k'uma a tak.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and with man.
Acunüng, Jesuh cun ngvai lawca lü, ksingkhyapnak am kümbe law ksetam lü, Mhnam la khyang hea mik khamei law ksetam tamki.
