Luke 2
1 Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole empire should be enrolled.
Ce tloek awh Rom qam khui boeih boeih awhkaw thlanghqing thlangmi noet aham Kaisar Augustus ing awi pehy.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
(Vetaw Siria qam awh Quirinius ce qam ukkung boei na a awm awh thlangmi noetnaak lamma cyk na awm hy.)
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
Cedawngawh thlang boeih ing ming cazin peek aham a mimah a khaw na cet boeih boeih uhy.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of 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;
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 enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him, being pregnant.
Ming cazin pek a hamna a zu am kang, phyihsu nawh naa ak awm tawm Meri ingqawi cet hy nih.
6 It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.
Cawh a ni awm awh, naa a thangnaak hly khawnghi ce nawh,
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him with pieces of cloth, and placed him in a feeding trough, because there was no guest room available for them.
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 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, 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 look, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
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 The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for see, I bring you good news of great joy which will 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 there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ, the Lord.
Tuhngawi David a khawk khuiawh thawngkung ce nangmih aham thang hawh hy; anih cetaw Khrih Bawipa ni.
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
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 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army 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 will toward humankind."
“Sawsang soeih awh Khawsa boeimang seitaw, khawmdek awh amah kaw ak tawng khqik khan awh qoepnaak awm seh,” tinawh kyihcah uhy.
15 And it happened that when the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, 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 They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Cedawngawh ang tawnna cet unawh, Meri, Joseph ingkaw aihkawng awhkaw ami soei naaca ce hu uhy.
17 When they saw it, they made known the saying which was spoken to them about 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 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken 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 sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Cehlai Meri ingtaw cawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce ak kawlung khuiawh khoem nawh poek hy.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told 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 When eight days were fulfilled to circumcise him, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was 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 When the days of their purification according to the Law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up 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 who opens the womb will 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 that which is said in the Law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves, 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 look, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on 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 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen 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 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the requirement 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 then 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 "Now you are releasing your servant, Lord, according to your word, in peace;
“Boeimang Bawipa, nak awitaak amyihna, na tyihzawih ve ngaihqep na ceh sak hawh kawp ti.
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
Ikawtih na hulnaak awi ce ka mik ing hu hawh nyng,
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
thlang boeih a mik huh awh nang ing nang dang sak ce,
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your 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 his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken 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, "Look, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is 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 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
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 There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a 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 she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.
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 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for the redemption of 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 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into 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 The child was growing, and was becoming strong, being filled with wisdom, and the favor of God 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 His parents went every year 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 When he was twelve years old, they went up 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 when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know 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, they went a day's journey, and they looked for him among their relatives 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 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
A mani huh law voel awhtaw, anih ak sui na Jerusalem na hlat tlaih hy nih.
46 It happened after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to 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 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Anih a simnaak ingkaw am hlatnaak awi ak zakhqi boeih ce amik kawpoek kyi hy.
48 When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Look, your father and I were anxiously looking for you."
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 He said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be doing the works of my Father?"
Anih ing, “Ikaw hamna nani sui nih? Ka pa im awh awm kaw ti amna ni sim nawh nu?” tina qawi hy.
50 They did not understand the saying which he spoke 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. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings 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 increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
Jesu taw cyihnaak ing taai khqoet khqoet nawh, Khawsa ingkaw thlanghqing a mik cuuk kawtlaak na awm khqoet khqoet hy.
