Luke 2
1 And it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, so that the whole world would be enrolled.
A khohnin a pha vaengah Kaisar Augustus taengkah oltloek te lunglai pum ah a pat.
2 This was the first enrollment; it was made by the ruler of Syria, Quirinius.
Te hlangmi soepnah tah Syria Kurenius kah a taem vaengah lamhmacuek la om.
3 And all went to be declared, each one to his own city.
Te dongah hlang boeih loh minghlum ham amah kho la rhip cet uh.
4 Then Joseph also ascended from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
Te vaengah Joseph khaw Galilee, Nazareth kho lamloh Judea kah Bethlehem la a khue David khopuei la cet. Anih te David imkhui kah nurhui pahrhui la om.
5 in order to be declared, with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
Minghlum ham vaengah amah ham a bae Mary te pumrhih la om pueng.
6 Then it happened that, while they were there, the days were completed, so that she would give birth.
A om rhoi kuelhuelh ah a caom tue loh a kae.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son. And she wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them at the inn.
Tedae a capa camingomthang te a cun vaengah tah impahnah ah hmuen a om pawt dongah a yol tih khongduk dongah a soei.
8 And there were shepherds in the same region, being vigilant and keeping watch in the night over their flock.
Te vaengah amah tekah pingpang ah tudawn rhoek om uh. A tuping te khoyin ah thongimla a khoem uh tih a rhaeh thiluh.
9 And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near them, and the brightness of God shone around them, and they were struck with a great fear.
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.
10 And the Angel said to them: “Do not be afraid. For, behold, I proclaim to you a great joy, which will be for all the people.
Tedae amih te puencawn loh, “Rhih uh boeh, pilnam boeih taengah aka om ham omngaihnah tanglue te nangmih taengah olthangthen kan thui he.
11 For today a Savior has been born for you in the city of David: he is Christ the Lord.
Tihnin ah nangmih ham khangkung om coeng. Anih tah David khopuei ah Khrih Boeipa la om coeng.
12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
Nangmih ham miknoek pakhat om vetih, cahni te a yol phoeiah kongduk dongah a yalh te na hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
13 And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the celestial army, praising God and saying,
Te vaengah puencawn te vaan caempuei rhaengpuei loh tarha a om puei tih Pathen te a thangthen uh.
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.”
Te vaengah, “Pathen te a sangkoek ah thangpomnah om saeh, diklai ah rhoepnah neh hlang rhoek soah a kolonah om saeh,” a ti uh.
15 And it happened that, when the Angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us cross over to Bethlehem and see this word, which has happened, which the Lord has revealed to us.”
A om van bangla puencawn rhoek tah amih taeng lamloh vaan la cet uh. Tudawn rhoek loh khat neh khat taengah, “Bethlehem la cet pawn sih lamtah olthang aka thoeng he so uh sih. Te tah Boeipa long ni mamih ham a phoe sak,” a ti uh.
16 And they went quickly. And they found Mary and Joseph; and the infant was lying in a manger.
Te phoeiah, tatloe la cet uh tih Mary, Joseph neh kongduk dong ah aka yalh cahni te a hmuh uh.
17 Then, upon seeing this, they understood the word that had been spoken to them about this boy.
A hmuh uh vaengah, te camoe kawng neh amih taengah a thui olka te a doek uh.
18 And all who heard it were amazed by this, and by those things which were told to them by the shepherds.
Amih taengah tudawn rhoek loh a thui te aka ya rhoek boeih tah a ngaihmang uh.
19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
Tedae Mary loh tekah olka te boeih a kuem tih a thinko ah a khing a mong.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told to them.
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.
21 And after eight days were ended, so that the boy would be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, just as he was called by the Angel before he was conceived in the womb.
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.
22 And after the days of her purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, in order to present him to the Lord,
Moses kah olkhueng bangla amih kah imcim khohnin te a pha vaengah Jesuh te Boeipa taengah nawn ham Jerusalem la a khuen rhoi.
23 just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “For every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,”
Boeipa kah olkhueng dongah a daek bangla bung aka va tongpa boeih tah Boeipa ham cimcaih la a khue ni.
24 and in order to offer a sacrifice, according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
Te dongah Boeipa kah olkhueng dongah, “Vahu phiknit mai khaw, vahui ca panit mai khaw,” a ti bangla hmueih te a paek rhoi.
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and God-fearing, awaiting the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was with him.
Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Simeon te Jerusalem ah khoem om. Tekah hlang tah dueng tih cuep. Te dongah Israel kah thaphohnah te a lamtawn tih Mueihla Cim loh anih a om thil.
26 And he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit: that he would not see his own death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
Mueihla Cim loh anih taengah, “Boeipa kah Khrih te a hmuh hlan atah dueknah na hmu mahpawh, “tila a mangthui tangtae te om.
27 And he went with the Spirit to the temple. And when the child Jesus was brought in by his parents, in order to act on his behalf according to the custom of the law,
Simeon te mueihla loh bawkim khuila a pawk puei. Te vaengah camoe Jesuh amah te olkhueng kah khosing la saii ham a manu pana loh a khuen.
28 he also took him up, into his arms, and he blessed God and said:
Te phoeiah Simeon loh a kut dongah a doe tih Pathen te a uem.
29 “Now you may dismiss your servant in peace, O Lord, according to your word.
Te vaengah, “Boeikung na sal he na olthui bangla ngaimongnah neh nan hlah coeng.
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
Namah kah khangnah te ka mik loh a hmuh coeng.
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples:
Te ni pilnam tom kah mikhmuh ah na tawn pah.
32 the light of revelation to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.”
Vangnah he namtom a pumphoenah la, thangpomnah te na pilnam Israel hamla om coeng,” a ti.
33 And his father and mother were wondering over these things, which were spoken about him.
Camoe kawng a thui soah a napa neh a manu tah a ngaihmang rhoi.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and he said to his mother Mary: “Behold, this one has been set for the ruin and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and as a sign which will be contradicted.
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.
35 And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
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.
36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years, and she had lived with her husband for seven years from her virginity.
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.
37 And then she was a widow, even to her eighty-fourth year. And without departing from the temple, she was a servant to fasting and prayer, night and day.
Te phoeiah kum sawmrhet kum li hil nuhmai la om. Anih tah bawkim te hlah tlaih kolla khoyin khothaih yaehnah neh, rhenbihnah neh tho a thueng.
38 And entering at the same hour, she confessed to the Lord. And she spoke about him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Israel.
Pathen uem tue a pai kuelhuelh vaengah Jerusalem kah tlannah aka lamtawn rhoek boeih ham camoe kawng te a thui pah.
39 And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth.
Boeipa kah olkhueng bangla boeih a soep vaengah te amah kho Galilee, Nazareth la bal rhoi.
40 Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him.
Camoe tah a rhoeng vaengah rhaang tih cueihnah neh bae. Pathen kah lungvatnah long khaw a om thil.
41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the time of the solemnity of Passover.
Kum takuem yoom khotue ah a manu napa te Jerusalem la cet.
42 And when he had become twelve years old, they ascended to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast day.
Kum hlainit a lo vaengah khotue kah khosing bangla amih te cet uh.
43 And having completed the days, when they returned, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents did not realize this.
Khohnin te cup tih a a bal uh vaengah cadong Jesuh tah Jerusalem ah uelh tih a manu napa loh ming pawh.
44 But, supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey, seeking him among their relatives and acquaintances.
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.
45 And not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
A hmuh rhoi pawt dongah anih tlap ham Jerusalem la mael rhoi.
46 And it happened that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, listening to them and questioning them.
A thum khohnin a pha phoeiah Jesuh te bawkim khuikah saya rhoek kah a laklung ah ana ngol, amih taengah a hnatun tih amih ana dawt te a hmuh rhoi.
47 But all who listened to him were astonished over his prudence and his responses.
Anih kah yakmingnah neh ollannah boeih te aka ya rhoek boeih tah limlum uh.
48 And upon seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: “Son, why have you acted this way toward us? Behold, your father and I were seeking you in sorrow.”
Jesuh te a hmuh rhoi vaengah let rhoi tih a manu loh, “Ka capa, balae tih kaimih rhoi tlam he nang khueh? Na pa neh kai loh nang kan toem rhoi tih n'yuek sut coeng he,” a ti nah.
49 And he said to them: “How is it that you were seeking me? For did you not know that it is necessary for me to be in these things which are of my Father?”
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.
50 And they did not understand the word that he spoke to them.
Tedae amih rhoi taengah a thui pah olka te amih rhoi loh a hmuhming rhoi moenih.
51 And he descended with them and went to Nazareth. And he was subordinate to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
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.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and in age, and in grace, with God and men.
Jesuh tah cueihnah neh pumrho ah rhoeng tih Pathen neh hlang taengah lungvatnah a dang.
