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.
Tua hun laitak in Caesar Augustus in leitung bup misimna vawt tu in thupia hi.
2 The census itself first took place when Cyrenius had the government of Syria.
Hi misimna masabel a vawt ciang in Syrenius sia Syria ngam uk a hihi.
3 And all went to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his own city:
Taciang mi theampo misimna nei tu in amate khua tek ah pai uh hi.
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,
Joseph sia Galilee ngam, Nazareth khua pan in David khua, Judah ngam Bethlehem khua ah pai hi; banghangziam cile ama sia David i suan le minam a hihi:
5 to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him [as his] wife, she being great with child.
Misimna nei tu in dokzu a piaksa Mary taw pai uh hi, Mary sia a ngil lian mama zo hi.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days of her giving birth [to her child] were fulfilled,
Bethlehem ah a om uh laitak in, Mary sia a naunei tu ni hong cing hi.
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.
A tacil tapa hong nei a, puan taw a tun zawkciang, khui ankuang sung ah sial hi, banghangziam cile zintun inn ah amate atu inndoi om nawn ngawl hi.
8 And there were shepherds in that country abiding without, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Tua ngamsung ah tuucing te duisung ah ngiak uh a, zan in a tuuhon te cing in om uh hi.
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.
Taciang, en vun, Topa vantungmi amate kung ah hongpai a, Topa vangletna sia amate kiim teng ah taang hi: taciang amate lau mama uh hi.
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;
Vantungmi in amate tung ah, lau heak vun: banghangziam cile, en vun, note tung ah lungdamna thu hong puak khi hi, tua thu sia mi theampo atu in lungdamna lianpi hi tu hi.
11 for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David's city, who is Christ [the] Lord.
Banghangziam cile tuni in David khuapi sung ah Ngumpa Christ Topa suak zo hi.
12 And this is the sign to you: ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and lying in a manger.
Hisia in note atu musakna a hihi; nausen sia puan taw tun a, khui ankuang sung ah a kisial na mu tu uh hi, ci hi.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
Thakhatthu in vantungmi taw vantungmi honpi te Pathian pok in,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good pleasure in men.
Van a sangbel na ah Pathian minthang tahen, leitung ah thinnop na om tahen a, mihing te tung ah deisakna pha om tahen, ci hi.
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.
Vantungmi te amate kung pan van ah a heakkik zawkciang in tuucing te in, tu in Bethlehem khua ah pai tawng, Topa i hong heaksak thu en tawng, khat le khat kici uh hi.
16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger;
Taciang manlangtak in pai uh a, Mary, Joseph le khui ankuang sung ah a kisial nausen mu uh hi.
17 and having seen [it] they made known about the country the thing which had been said to them concerning this child.
Tuucing te in ama a mu uh ciang in, vantungmi in hi nausen thu taw kisai amate a son thu te midang te tung ah son uh hi.
18 And all who heard [it] wondered at the things said to them by the shepherds.
Tuucing te i son thu te a za theampo in lamdangsa mama uh hi.
19 But Mary kept all these things [in her mind], pondering [them] in her heart.
Ahihang Mary in hi thu te theampo sia, a thinsung ah keam in ngaisun hi.
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.
Vantungmi in amate tung ah a son bang in, a zak uh le a mu uh thu te hang in tuucing te in Pathian vangletna le minthanna pok in heakkik uh hi.
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.
Nausen sia vunteap tan tu ni liat a cin ciang, a min sia Jesus ci hi, tua min sia a nu in a ngilsung a pai ma in vantungmi i a phuakholsa min a hihi.
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
Mary sia Moses thukham bang in thianthona hun a cin ciang in, Topa kung ah ap tu in nausen sia Jerusalem ah paipui hi;
23 (as it is written in the law of [the] Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
Topa thukham sung ah, sulhong tapa masabel peuma Topa kung ah a thiangtho, kici tu hi; ci in ki at hi.
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.
Topa thukham sung ah a om bangma in, khutun kop khat, a hibale khutheh ni taw biakpiakna piak tu a hihi.
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.
Taciang en vun, Jerusalem ah Simeon a kici pasal khat om hi; ama sia mi pha thutang le biakna sang ah a ki pumpiak hi a, Israel te henepna a ngak khat zong a hihi: ama tung ah Tha Thiangtho om hi.
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.
Topa i Messiah na mu mateng na thi buatu hi, ci in Tha Thiangtho in pualak hi.
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,
Tha ompui na taw in Simeon sia biakinn sung ah hong pai a: thukham ngeina bang in vawtsak tu in nulepa te in nausen Jesus paipui uh hi,
28 he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simeon in nausen a kang ah toai a, Pathian pok kawm in,
29 Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;
Topa awng, tu in, na thu bang in na sal keima thinnuamtak in hong paisak ta in:
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Banghangziam cile na ngupna ka mit taw mu zo khi hi,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
Tua thu sia mi theampo mai ah na vawtsa a hihi;
32 a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.
Gentile te tung khuavaksak tu le na minam Israel te minthan natu a hihi, ci hi.
33 And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him.
Simeon pau nate sia Joseph le Mary te in lamdangsa mama uh hi.
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;
Taciang Simeon in amate thupha pia a, a nu Mary kung ah, hi nausen sia Israel mitampi te lutu na le mitampi te ki phokkik na hi tu hi; banghangziam cile kam ki nial na musakna hi tu hi;
35 (and even a sword shall go through thine own soul; ) so that [the] thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.
Hi hi, namsau in na nuntakna hong sun tu hi, taciang mitampi te thinsung ngaisutna te kilangsak tu hi.
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,
Asher suan, Phanuel tanu Anna a kici kamsang nu khat om a, ama sia huai mama zo hi: ama sia ngaknu thiangtho a hi na pan in a pasal taw kum sali sung bek omkhawm hi;
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;
Ama sia meingong hi a, kum sawm liat le kum li pha zo hi, biakinn pan pusuak ngawl in sun tawzan taw antang le thungen in Pathian naseam hi.
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.
Jesus biakinn ah a thetpui laitak in Anna zong hong theng a, Topa tung ah lungdam ko hi, taciang Jerusalem ah ngupna a ngakla te theampo tung ah nausen thu son hi.
39 And when they had completed all things according to the law of [the] Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.
Joseph le Mary te in Topa thukham bang in na theampo a vawt zawk uh ciang in, Galilee ngam Nazareth khua ah ciakik uh hi.
40 And the child grew and waxed strong [in spirit], filled with wisdom, and God's grace was upon him.
Nausen hong khang a, tha lam ah thahat in, ciimna taw dim a: Pathian hesuakna ama tung ah om hi.
41 And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Jesus i nulepa te kumsim paisanpoai ciang in Jerusalem ah pai bul uh hi.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up [to Jerusalem] according to the custom of the feast
Jesus kum sawm le kum ni a cin ciang in, Jerusalem ah ngeina bang in poai mun ah pai hi.
43 and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not [of it];
Poai man ciang in a inn ah ciakik uh hi, ahihang nauno Jesus sia Jerusalem ah tanglai hi; Joseph le a nu in tuathu a he bua uh hi.
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:
Ahihang, mi honpi sung ah hi tu hi, ci ngaisun uh a nikhat sung pai uh hi; taciang amate mealheak te le a ki naipui uh te sung ah zong uh hi.
45 and not having found him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him.
Amate in a mu ngawl uh ciang in, Jerusalem ah heakkik in zong uh hi.
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.
Nithum zawkciang in amate in biakinn sung ah mu hi, doctor te laizang ah to a, thu ngai le thu dong in om hi.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
A thu heak le a zo kik nate a za theampo in lamdangsa uh hi.
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.
Amate in a mu uh ciang in lamdangsa mama uh a: a nu in, ka Tapa awng, banghang hibang in hong vawt ni ziam? en in, na pa taw thinngim mama in hong zong khu hi, ci hi.
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?
Jesus in, Banghang in hong zong nu ziam? ka Pa nasep seam hamtang tu khi hi, ci he ngawl nu ziam? amate tung ah ci hi.
50 And they understood not the thing that he said to them.
Taciang amate in a sonnop na a tel bua uh hi.
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.
Taciang amate taw pai a, Nazareth ah ciakik in amate thu ni in om hi: ahihang a nu in Ama kampau te a thinsung ah keamcing hi.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
Jesus sia a ciimna le a pumpi khang a, Pathian mai le mihing te mai ah maipha nga hi.
