Luke 2
1 But it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census should be made of all the habitable world.
Ce tloek awh Rom qam khui boeih boeih awhkaw thlanghqing thlangmi noet aham Kaisar Augustus ing awi pehy.
2 The census itself first took place when Cyrenius had the government of Syria.
(Vetaw Siria qam awh Quirinius ce qam ukkung boei na a awm awh thlangmi noetnaak lamma cyk na awm hy.)
3 And all went to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his own city:
Cedawngawh thlang boeih ing ming cazin peek aham a mimah a khaw na cet boeih boeih uhy.
4 and Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city Nazareth to Judaea, to David's city, the which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
Cedawngawh Joseph awm David cahlah na a awm a dawngawh, Kalili qam Nazareth awhkawng Judah qam David a khaw Bethlehem na cet hy.
5 to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him [as his] wife, she being great with child.
Ming cazin pek a hamna a zu am kang, phyihsu nawh naa ak awm tawm Meri ingqawi cet hy nih.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days of her giving birth [to her child] were fulfilled,
Cawh a ni awm awh, naa a thangnaak hly khawnghi ce nawh,
7 and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him up in swaddling-clothes and laid him in the manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Cehlai a cakcyk pa ca ce ta nawh, khin pahnaak im ama hoeng a dawngawh hi ing zawl nawh vaitaw aihkawng awh soei hy.
8 And there were shepherds in that country abiding without, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Cawh a qam khuiawh tuu ak khaikhqi ce kqawng na awm unawh, khawmthan awh tuukhqi ce qeh uhy.
9 And lo, an angel of [the] Lord was there by them, and [the] glory of [the] Lord shone around them, and they feared [with] great fear.
Bawipa ak khan ceityih phynoet ce a mingmih a venawh dang pe nawh, Bawipa a boeimangnaak ing a mingmih a kengsam ce coei qungtheng saw, cedawngawh a mingmih ing kqih uhy.
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not, for behold, I announce to you glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people;
Cehlai khan ceityih ing a mingmih a venawh, “Koeh kqih uh. Nangmih a venawh thlang boeih aham ym ak awm soeih awithang leek ka kqawn law ni.
11 for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David's city, who is Christ [the] Lord.
Tuhngawi David a khawk khuiawh thawngkung ce nangmih aham thang hawh hy; anih cetaw Khrih Bawipa ni.
12 And this is the sign to you: ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and lying in a manger.
Ve ve nangmih aham hatnaak na awm kaw: Naasen hi ing zawl unawh aihkawng awh ami soei ce hu kawm uk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
Kawlhkalh ca awh khan benna kaw thlang kqeng ce khan ceityihkhqi mi dang law unawh, Khawsa ce kyihcah uhy,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good pleasure in men.
“Sawsang soeih awh Khawsa boeimang seitaw, khawmdek awh amah kaw ak tawng khqik khan awh qoepnaak awm seh,” tinawh kyihcah uhy.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels departed from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, Let us make our way then now as far as Bethlehem, and let us see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
Khan ceityihkhqi ing a mingmih ce cehta khqi nawh khawk khan na a mi ceh coengawh, tuukhaikhqi ing, “Bethlehem na cet unawh Bawipa ing ak kqawn law ce toek lah usih,” ti uhy.
16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger;
Cedawngawh ang tawnna cet unawh, Meri, Joseph ingkaw aihkawng awhkaw ami soei naaca ce hu uhy.
17 and having seen [it] they made known about the country the thing which had been said to them concerning this child.
Naaca ce a mi huh awh, ve naaca akawng cekkhqi venawh kqawn peek na ak awm ce thlangkhqi venawh kqawn pe uhy,
18 And all who heard [it] wondered at the things said to them by the shepherds.
tuukhaikhqi ing amik kqawn peek awi ak zakhqi boeih ing amik kawpoek kyi hy.
19 But Mary kept all these things [in her mind], pondering [them] in her heart.
Cehlai Meri ingtaw cawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce ak kawlung khuiawh khoem nawh poek hy.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen, as it had been said to them.
A mingmih a venawh ak kqawn peek amyihna ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce hu unawh a ming zaak a dawngawh Khawsa ang ming zoeksang nawh kyihcah doena tuukhaikhqi ce voei uhy.
21 And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, which was the name given by the angel before he had been conceived in the womb.
Ak kqeet nyn, chahhui qeetnaak tym a pha awh, a nu ing a phyihsu hlanawh khan ceityih ing ak kqawn peek amyihna Jesu tinawh ang ming sui hy.
22 And when the days were fulfilled for their purifying according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem to present [him] to the Lord
Mosi a anaa awi amyihna ciimcaih sak naak khawnghi ce a pha awh, Joseph ingkaw Meri ing Jesu ce Bawipa venawh suum aham Jerusalem na ceh pyi hy nih,
23 (as it is written in the law of [the] Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
(Bawipa a anaa awi awh, “Ak cykcah capa taw Bawipa aham hoep a hamna awm hy,” tinawh qee na a awm a dawngawh),
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of [the] Lord: A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.
Bawipa a anaa awi awh ak kqawn amyihna: kqawng kqukkqu phqek hih am awhtaw im kqukkqu phqek hih ce bulnaak sainaak aham khyn hy nih.
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and [the] Holy Spirit was upon him.
Cawh Jerusalem khawk khuiawh Simon ak mingnaak thlang pynoet ce awm hy, anih cetaw thlak dyng ingkaw Khawsa ak kqihchah thlang na awm hy. Anih ing Israel thlangkhqi ngaihding sakkung ce a na qeh nawh, Ciim Myihla ing awm pyi hy.
26 And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see [the] Lord's Christ.
Bawipa a Khrih ce a huh hlan dy am thi kawp ti, tinawh Ciim Myihla ing a na sim sak hawh hy.
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law,
Ciim Myihla a hqui sawinaak ak caming bawkim khuina ce cet hy. Anaa awi ing a ngoe amyihna naaca Jesu ak khan awh sai hly kawi sai sak aham a nu ingkaw a pa ing a ni law pyi awh,
28 he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simon ing lo nawh a kut awh ak pawm coengawh Khawsa ce kyihcah hy:
29 Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;
“Boeimang Bawipa, nak awitaak amyihna, na tyihzawih ve ngaihqep na ceh sak hawh kawp ti.
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Ikawtih na hulnaak awi ce ka mik ing hu hawh nyng,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
thlang boeih a mik huh awh nang ing nang dang sak ce,
32 a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.
Gentelkhqi venawh vangnaak ak dang hly kawi ingkaw nak thlang Israelkhqi boeimangnaak hly kawi ce,” tinawh kqawn hy.
33 And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him.
Naasen awh anih ing cemyihna awi ak kqawn ce a nu ingkaw a pa ing a ning zaak awh a ning ngaih na kyi hy.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Lo, this [child] is set for the fall and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against;
Cekcoengawh cekkhqi ce Simeon ing zoseennaak a peek coengawh a nu Meri a venawh: “Vawhkaw naasen ve Israel khqik khuiawh thlang khawzah ang tluuknaak ingkaw a thawhnaak na awm kaw, thlang ing amak nep na ak kqawnnaak aham hatnaak ingkaw,
35 (and even a sword shall go through thine own soul; ) so that [the] thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.
thlang khawzah a lingbyi poeknaak ce ang dang thainaak hamna awm kaw. Na lingbyi awm zawzi ing sun law poelh hyn kawm uh,” tina hy.
36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, daughter of Phanuel, of [the] tribe of Asher, who was far advanced in years, having lived with [her] husband seven years from her virginity,
Cawh Asher pilnam ak khui awhkaw Phanuel a canu Anna ak mingnaak nu tawngha pynoet ce awm lawt hy. Anih cetaw nucawng hawh hy; a va ingqawi kum khqih doeng ni anik chungvaa,
37 and herself a widow up to eighty-four years; who did not depart from the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers;
cekcoengawh a kum kqeetkip hlaihphli dy nuhai na awm hy. Bawkim ce a cehtaak kaa qoe na buh zeih cykcahnaak ing khawthan khawdai Khawsa ce bawk hy.
38 and she coming up the same hour gave praise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who waited for redemption in Jerusalem.
Cawh anih ce cekkhqi venna cet nawh, Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi ak kqawn coengawh Jerusalem hulnaak ak ngaih-ukhqi boeih a venawh cawhkaw naasen akawng ce kqawn pek khqi hy.
39 And when they had completed all things according to the law of [the] Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.
Bawipa a anaa awi ing a kykkhqi boeih ce Joseph ingkaw Meri ing a ni sai boeih coengawh, Kalili qam awhkaw a nimah a khaw Nazareth na ce voei hy nih.
40 And the child grew and waxed strong [in spirit], filled with wisdom, and God's grace was upon him.
Naasen ce bau law hqui nawh ak tha awm law hy; cyihnaak ing be law nawh, Khawsa am qeennaak ce ak khan awh awm hy.
41 And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Loentaak poei pan aham Jerusalem na a nu ingkaw a pa taw kum qoek awh cet poepa hy nih.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up [to Jerusalem] according to the custom of the feast
A kum hlaihih a law awh, a mi ceh khawi amyihna, cawhkaw poei ak pan na cet uhy.
43 and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not [of it];
Poei ang poeng coeng khawna a ming voei awh naasen Jesu taw awm hyt saw a nu ingkaw a pa ing am sim hy nih.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company that journeyed together, they went a day's journey, and sought him among their relations and acquaintances:
Thlang ak voeikhqi anglakawh awm lawt hy voei tinawh poek nih nawh, khawnghi hypoet a ni ceh coengawh, ami cakawkhqi ingkaw ami pyikhqi venawh sui hy nih.
45 and not having found him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him.
A mani huh law voel awhtaw, anih ak sui na Jerusalem na hlat tlaih hy nih.
46 And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers and hearing them and asking them questions.
Khaw thum voei a ni sui coengawh bawkim khuina hu hy nih, cawngpyikung khqing lak awh ngawi nawh a mingmih ak awih kqawnkhqi ce ngai nawh awikhqi a na doet khqi hui awh hu hy nih.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Anih a simnaak ingkaw am hlatnaak awi ak zakhqi boeih ce amik kawpoek kyi hy.
48 And when they saw him they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Child, why hast thou dealt thus with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee distressed.
A nu ingkaw a pa ing a ni huh awh, a nik kawpoek kyi hy. A nu ing, “Ka capa, kawtih vemyihna nani sai hy? Na pa ingkaw kai ingtaw ly doena ni sui nih nyng,” tina hy.
49 And he said to them, Why [is it] that ye have sought me? did ye not know that I ought to be [occupied] in my Father's business?
Anih ing, “Ikaw hamna nani sui nih? Ka pa im awh awm kaw ti amna ni sim nawh nu?” tina qawi hy.
50 And they understood not the thing that he said to them.
Cehlai a ningnih a venawh ak kqawn peek awi ce am zasim hy nih.
51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and he was in subjection to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
A ningnih a hu awh Nazareth khaw na cet nawh anik awi ce ngaih pe qawi hy. Cehlai a nu ingtaw cawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce ak kawlung khuiawh koem hy.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
Jesu taw cyihnaak ing taai khqoet khqoet nawh, Khawsa ingkaw thlanghqing a mik cuuk kawtlaak na awm khqoet khqoet hy.
