Luke 2
1 Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole empire should be enrolled.
A khohnin a pha vaengah Kaisar Augustus taengkah oltloek te lunglai pum ah a pat.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Te hlangmi soepnah tah Syria Kurenius kah a taem vaengah lamhmacuek la om.
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
Te dongah hlang boeih loh minghlum ham amah kho la rhip cet uh.
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;
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 to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him, being pregnant.
Minghlum ham vaengah amah ham a bae Mary te pumrhih la om pueng.
6 It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.
A om rhoi kuelhuelh ah a caom tue loh a kae.
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.
Tedae a capa camingomthang te a cun vaengah tah impahnah ah hmuen a om pawt dongah a yol tih khongduk dongah a soei.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by 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 look, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
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 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.
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 there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ, the Lord.
Tihnin ah nangmih ham khangkung om coeng. Anih tah David khopuei ah Khrih Boeipa la om coeng.
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
Nangmih ham miknoek pakhat om vetih, cahni te a yol phoeiah kongduk dongah a yalh te na hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly 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, good will toward humankind."
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 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."
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 They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Te phoeiah, tatloe la cet uh tih Mary, Joseph neh kongduk dong ah aka yalh cahni te a hmuh uh.
17 When they saw it, they made known the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
A hmuh uh vaengah, te camoe kawng neh amih taengah a thui olka te a doek uh.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken 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 sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Tedae Mary loh tekah olka te boeih a kuem tih a thinko ah a khing a mong.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told 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 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.
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 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
Moses kah olkhueng bangla amih kah imcim khohnin te a pha vaengah Jesuh te Boeipa taengah nawn ham Jerusalem la a khuen rhoi.
23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb will 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 to offer a sacrifice according to that which 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 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.
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 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
Mueihla Cim loh anih taengah, “Boeipa kah Khrih te a hmuh hlan atah dueknah na hmu mahpawh, “tila a mangthui tangtae te om.
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,
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 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Te phoeiah Simeon loh a kut dongah a doe tih Pathen te a uem.
29 "Now you are releasing your servant, Lord, according to your word, in peace;
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 a light for 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 his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him,
Camoe kawng a thui soah a napa neh a manu tah a ngaihmang rhoi.
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.
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 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, 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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
Pathen uem tue a pai kuelhuelh vaengah Jerusalem kah tlannah aka lamtawn rhoek boeih ham camoe kawng te a thui pah.
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.
Boeipa kah olkhueng bangla boeih a soep vaengah te amah kho Galilee, Nazareth la bal rhoi.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong, being filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.
Camoe tah a rhoeng vaengah rhaang tih cueihnah neh bae. Pathen kah lungvatnah long khaw a om thil.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
Kum takuem yoom khotue ah a manu napa te Jerusalem la cet.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the feast,
Kum hlainit a lo vaengah khotue kah khosing bangla amih te cet uh.
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,
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 him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and they looked for 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 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
A hmuh rhoi pawt dongah anih tlap ham Jerusalem la mael rhoi.
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.
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 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Anih kah yakmingnah neh ollannah boeih te aka ya rhoek boeih tah limlum uh.
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."
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 He said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be doing the works 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 They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Tedae amih rhoi taengah a thui pah olka te amih rhoi loh a hmuhming rhoi moenih.
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.
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 increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
Jesuh tah cueihnah neh pumrho ah rhoeng tih Pathen neh hlang taengah lungvatnah a dang.
