< 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.
Lao esa, leleꞌ Kirenius dadꞌi malangga mana parenda sia Siria, ma mane monaeꞌ, naran Agustus, fee parendaꞌ nae, “Basa atahori mana sia manaparenda Roma koasan musi baliꞌ kambon fo tungga sensus!” Naa fefeun fo manaparenda Roma reken rauinggu nara.
2 This was the first enrollment; it was made by the ruler of Syria, Quirinius.
3 And all went to be declared, each one to his own city.
Dadꞌi basa atahori baliꞌ kambon fo tungga sensus.
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,
Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf leo sia kambo Nazaret sia propinsi Galilea. Ana nae laꞌe ana fetoꞌ sa, naran Maria, de mana henggene basaꞌ ena. Maria ia, mairuꞌ ena. Yusuf naa, mane Daud tititi-nonosin, de musi baliꞌ risiꞌ Betlehem kota Daud sia propinsi Yudea fo tungga sensus. Naa de ruꞌa se lao kota Betlehem reu.
5 in order to be declared, with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
6 Then it happened that, while they were there, the days were completed, so that she would give birth.
Leleꞌ ara losa naa ena, Maria fula-fai bobꞌonggin nae losa boe.
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.
Te sia naa, ara nda hambu kama sia ume sesebaꞌ sa. De ara risiꞌ lalaet bibꞌi rala. Boe ma ana bꞌonggi Ana ulun, touꞌ. Boe ma ara ralusa E rendiꞌ temeꞌ, ma rasusunggu sia haꞌo rala.
8 And there were shepherds in the same region, being vigilant and keeping watch in the night over their flock.
Tetembaꞌ naa, hambu manatadꞌa hira beꞌe ranea bibꞌi lombo nara sia lenuꞌ sia kota a deaꞌ.
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.
Aiboiꞌ ma, ara rita Lamatualain aten mia sorga. Boe ma Lamatuaꞌ manggarelon naronda rereoꞌ se, de ramatau rae mate.
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.
Ma ate naa nafadꞌe nae, “Ama afiꞌ mimitau dei! Rena malolole, e! Huu Au uma ufadꞌe hara-lii maloleꞌ sa neu nggi. Basa mana rena hara-liiꞌ ia, ramahoꞌo.
11 For today a Savior has been born for you in the city of David: he is Christ the Lord.
Hara-lii maloleꞌ ia liin taꞌo ia: Faiꞌ ia inaꞌ sa bꞌonggi Kristus, sia Betlehem, mane Daud kotan. Kristus naa, Atahori fo Lamatualain helu-fuli eniꞌ a maꞌahulun. Lamatuaꞌ haitua E nema fo soi-tefa atahori sala-kilu nara! Eni ia, dei fo atahori roꞌe rae, ‘Lamatuaꞌ’, huu Eni mana parenda basaꞌ e!
12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
Dei fo hei mihine E taꞌo ia: hei mindaa Anadikiꞌ sa nenebꞌonggi feuꞌ mana nelusaꞌ no temeꞌ. Ana sungguꞌ sia haꞌo rala.”
13 And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the celestial army, praising God and saying,
Ana olaꞌ basa ma, aiboiꞌ te, Lamatualain aten hetar mia sorga rema raꞌabꞌue ro E. Boe ma ara koa-kio Lamatualain ma sodꞌa rae,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.”
“Hai soꞌu minanaru Lamatualain naran! Eni mana endoꞌ parenda sia lalai narun manaseliꞌ a. Lamatualain nae fee dꞌame neu atahori sia raefafoꞌ, naa tao ralan namahoꞌo!’.
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.”
Basa de, Lamatuaꞌ ate nara baliꞌ sorga reu. Boe ma manatadꞌa naa ra ola-olaꞌ rae, “We! Ata Betlehem teu seꞌu tita Anaꞌ naa dei! Huu Lamatuaꞌ fee haraꞌ neu nggita ena.”
16 And they went quickly. And they found Mary and Joseph; and the infant was lying in a manger.
Boe ma ara lao lai-lai Betlehem reu. De ara randaa ro Maria no Yusuf. Ara o rita Anadiki mana bꞌonggi feuꞌ a mana sungguꞌ sia haꞌo rala.
17 Then, upon seeing this, they understood the word that had been spoken to them about this boy.
Leleꞌ ara rita Anaꞌ a, ma ara dui rae, “Faꞌra Lamatualain ate nara mia sorga rafadꞌe hai soꞌal Anaꞌ ia ena!” Boe ma ara duꞌi lutuꞌ-leloꞌ losa basa.
18 And all who heard it were amazed by this, and by those things which were told to them by the shepherds.
Basa atahori mana rena manatadꞌa ra dudꞌui nara, mbombooꞌ a.
19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
Te Maria mbedꞌaꞌ basa mana dadꞌiꞌ naa sia ralan. Ma ana dꞌuꞌa-dꞌuꞌa sangga nahine dalaꞌ naa sosoan.
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.
Basa de, manatadꞌa ra baliꞌ risiꞌ bibꞌi lombo nara. Ma ara soꞌu rananaru Lamatualain naran. Roꞌe makasi neu E, huu saa fo ara rena ma ritaꞌ naa, tebꞌe ona saa fo Lamatuaꞌ aten nafadꞌeꞌ a.
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.
Fai falu, ma ara sunat anadikiꞌ a, tungga baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen. De ina-ama nara babꞌae naran ‘Yesus’. Naraꞌ naa, ate mana mia sorga nafadꞌe neu se ena, leleꞌ inan nda feꞌe nairu E sa.
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,
Hambu hohoro-lalaneꞌ sa mia baꞌi Musa nae, ina mana bꞌonggi basa fai haa nulu musi neu tao tungga adꞌat nameu-aoꞌ sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Naa fo ara bisa masoꞌ ume hule-oꞌeꞌ a rala reu onaꞌ biasa. Naa de, Yusuf no Maria Yerusalem reu, fo tao tungga adꞌat naa. Ma ara rendi sira Ana mana bꞌonggi feun nisiꞌ Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a, fo fee ne dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ enan.
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,”
Ara tungga Lamatuaꞌ hohoro-lalanen mana nae, “Sudꞌiꞌ a inaꞌ se bꞌonggi ana ulun, mete ma touꞌ, na, musi fee anaꞌ naa dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ enan.”
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.”
Tungga Lamatuaꞌ hohoro-lalanen, mete ma fee anaꞌ naa neu Lamatuaꞌ, ama-ina nara musi fee tutunu-hohotuꞌ mbui teu pasan esa, do mbui lunda mandaꞌ rua. Naa de Yusuf no Maria o tao tungga hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa.
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.
Leleꞌ naa, hambu tou lasiꞌ sa, naran Simeon, leo sia kota Yerusalem. Eni, Atahori rala ndoos ma ralan hii Lamatuaꞌ. Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren nafadꞌe neu e nae, hela ana nita Kristus, dei fo ana feꞌe maten. Kristus naa, mana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori Israꞌel ra.
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.
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,
Leleꞌ naa, Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen nendi Simeon nisiꞌ Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Naa nandaa no Yesus ama-ina nara ro E nisiꞌ naa, fo fee ne dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ enan.
28 he also took him up, into his arms, and he blessed God and said:
Nita Anaꞌ a ma, tou lasiꞌ Simeon oꞌo nala E, ma soꞌu koa-kioꞌ neu Lamatualain nae,
29 “Now you may dismiss your servant in peace, O Lord, according to your word.
“Koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ! Lamatuaꞌ tao tungga hehelu-fufulin neu au ena. Dadꞌi ia naa, Lamatuaꞌ bisa mboꞌi au ena, naa fo au mate no maloleꞌ,
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
Huu au ita Atahori fo Lamatuaꞌ haituaꞌ a ena, fo fee ambon neu hai sala-kilu mara!
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples:
Lamatuaꞌ nae pake Anaꞌ ia fo fee masodꞌaꞌ neu basa nusaꞌ ra.
32 the light of revelation to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.”
Dei fo Ana onaꞌ rondaꞌ fo mana nendi hadꞌa-hormat neu Lamatuaꞌ atahori Israꞌel nara. Ana o onaꞌ manggareloꞌ a, fo mana matudꞌu Lamatuaꞌ dꞌalan. fee basa nusa feaꞌ ra.”
33 And his father and mother were wondering over these things, which were spoken about him.
Rena taꞌo naa, ma Yusuf no Maria heran bali-baliꞌ neu saa fo tou lasiꞌ a olaꞌ soꞌal sira Anan.
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.
Basa de, Simeon olaꞌ papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fee se. Boe ma ana nafadꞌe Maria nae, “Yesus maman e! Dei fo atahori hetar sia Israꞌel nda simbo mama Anan ia sa. Te tatao-nonoꞌi nara mbali E, dei fo ratudaꞌ baliꞌ se. Mama Anan ia, o tao fee atahori hetar rala nara ramahoꞌo.
35 And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
No taꞌo naa, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ soi natudꞌu atahori ra rala-dꞌudꞌuꞌa nara. Te ho, Maria, dei fo hambu doidꞌosoꞌ naen seli, onaꞌ fela tafaꞌ nenembauꞌ nisiꞌ tenda boam rala.”
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.
Sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a o hambu beiꞌ sa, naran Hana. Ana too falu nulu haa ena. Aman, naran Fanuel, mia leo Aser. Ana sao too hitu, boe ma saon mate hela e. Bei Hana Ia, Lamatualain mana ola-olan. Ue-tataon, naeni hule-oꞌe ma puasa sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a, fo beꞌutee neu Lamatualain hatuꞌ-rerelon.
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.
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.
Leleꞌ Simeon olaꞌ no Yusuf ma Maria, Hana o neu deka-deka boe. De ana rena se, ma ana soꞌu kokoa-kikioꞌ neu Lamatualain. Basa ma ana olaꞌ soꞌal Yesus neu basa atahori mana rahani Maneꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ helu nae haitua nema fo mboꞌi atahori Israꞌel ra.
39 And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth.
Leleꞌ Yusuf no Maria tao tungga baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalane nara sia kota Yerusalem ena, boe ma ara baliꞌ risiꞌ sira kambon Nasaret sia propinsi Galilea.
40 Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him.
Boe ma Yesus boe naꞌamoko. Ana boe maꞌadereꞌ, boe nahine, ma nahine dalaꞌ naeꞌ sosoa-ndandaa nara. Lamatualain o natudꞌu rala malolen neu E.
41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the time of the solemnity of Passover.
Tungga too, Yusuf no Maria reu raa fefeta Paska sia Kota Yerusalem.
42 And when he had become twelve years old, they ascended to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast day.
Leleꞌ Yesus too sanahulu rua, ara reu risiꞌ Yerusalem fo tungga fefetas ona biasa na.
43 And having completed the days, when they returned, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents did not realize this.
Leleꞌ fai-fai Paska basa ena, boe ma Yusuf no Maria lao baliꞌ Nasaret reu ramaloloꞌ ro atahori hetar mana rae baliꞌ Galilea reu. Te nda bubꞌuluꞌ rae, Yesus feꞌe sia Yerusalem sa. Ara rae neꞌo Ana lao namaloloꞌ no nonoo nara. Te, losa bobꞌoꞌ ena, nda rita E sa. Boe ma ara sangga E reu-rema sia bobꞌonggi nara ma nonoo nara.
44 But, supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey, seeking him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 And not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
Huu nda hambu randa ro E sa, de ara lao baliꞌ Yerusalem reu, fo sangga E sia naa.
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.
Losa naa, ara sangga E losa fai telu, dei de hambu E mia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a rala. Ana endoꞌ naselu-bale no meser agama Yahudi ra.
47 But all who listened to him were astonished over his prudence and his responses.
Basa atahori mana rena se mbomboꞌ a, huu Ana nahine tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatualain Hara-liin sosoa-ndandan, ma Ana nataa netane nara no maloleꞌ.
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.”
Rita taꞌo naa ma, ina-ama nara titindindiꞌ a. Boe ma inan nae, “Yesus! Taꞌo bee de tao hai susa onaꞌ ia? Au o ama ma susa-susa sangga rereoꞌ Nggo.
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 Yesus nataa nae, “Taꞌo bee de papa no mama susa-susa sangga Au? Bꞌubꞌuluꞌ ena, to? Au hambu ue-taos sia Ama Ngga Umen.”
50 And they did not understand the word that he spoke to them.
Te ara nda rahine Yesus oꞌolan no matetuꞌ sa.
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.
Boe ma basa se baliꞌ Nasaret reu. Yesus tungga ina-aman parenda nara. Ma inan mbedaꞌ basa dalaꞌ naa ra sia ralan.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and in age, and in grace, with God and men.
Ma Yesus boe naꞌamoko ma, boe nahine basa dꞌala maloleꞌ ra. Lamatualain ma atahori o sue E boe.
