Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be registered.
Acunüng, sangpuxang Awkastan naw Romah khaw avan üng ami ngming ami yuk vaia ngthu a jah pet.
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
Ahina ngming yuknak cun Kurenih, Siria üng a bawi kum üng akcük säiha ngming yuknaka kyaki.
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
Acunüng, khyang ami van ami ngming yu khai hea, ami khaw nu phäh phäha citki he.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
Josep pi Davita khui üngka la ksawna akyaa phäha, Kalile khaw Nazaret üngka naw, Judah hne Davita mlüh Bethlehem ami tia,
5 to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
a khyu vaia ami mkhyäp Marih a m’yai mah am ani ngming yu khai xawia citki xawi.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
Bethlehema ani ve üng Marih cun a canak vaia mhmüp küm lawki.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swathing-clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Acunüng, a ca kcük kpamica a canak, jih am hlawp lü, khin ima am ani ngsut hnga phäha, sepata einak kawng üng a msän.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
Acunüng, acuna khawa toksäm he, kpyawnga ami to he jah k’äih u lü mthana awmki he.
9 And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.
Ng'ngaia Bawipa khankhawngsä mat ami maa ngdüi law lü, Bawipa a hlüngtainak ami ksunga vai law se, aktäa kyükyawki he.
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not; for lo! I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to the whole people;
Acunüng, khankhawngsä naw, “Ä kyü ua, ng'ngai ua, khyang avana phäha, jekyainaka thangkdaw ka ning jah thak lawki ni.
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
“Tuhngawi Davita mlüha küikyan bawi, Bawipa Khritaw, nami hama hmiki.
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
“Hin hin nami msingnak vaia kya ve: Hnasen jih am hlawp, sepata einak kawng üng ngjän se nami hmu khai,” a ti.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Acunja, khankhawngsä pä he la khankhawngsä cun Pamhnama veia mhlünmtainak ng’äi mcuki he.
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
“Pamhnam cun ak'hlüng säih khankhaw cäpa hlüngtai se, khawmdek khana a jah jenak khyang hea khana ngkhawtnak ve se,” tia, Pamhnam mküimtoki he.
15 And it came to pass, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said one to another, Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see that which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.
Acunüng, hinkba kyaki, khankhawngsä he naw khankhawa ami jah cehtak be la, toksäm he naw, “Atuh Bethlehem khaw cäpa mi cit u lü, Bawipa naw ngthu a jah mtheh pha lawki cun mi va teng vai,” ami ti.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Acunüng cit tele u lü, Marih, Josep la, sepata einak kawng üng ngjänkia hnasen ami jah hmuh.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
Acunüng, ami va hmuh khap üng, hnasena mawng khankhawngsä naw a jah mtheh cun aktäa ami pyen.
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
Acunüng, toksäm hea ngthu pyen ngjaki he avan cun, aktäa cäicahki he.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Cunsepi Marih naw, acuna ngthu avan cun ngai lü, a mlung k'uma a tak.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
Toksämke naw, khankhawngsäa a jah mtheha kba, ahmäi hmu u lü ami sima phäha, Pamhnam mhlünmtai mküimto u lü cit beki he.
21 And when eight days were completed for him to be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Acunüng, a vun mawihnak vai pat mat aküm käna a nua puk k'um üng am a awm hlan üng khankhawngsä he naw ami suia kba, Jesuha ami sui.
22 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
Acunüng, Mosia ngthumkhän peta kba, ngcimcaihnak vaia mhmüp a küm law üng, a nu la a pa naw hnasen cun Jerusalema cehpüi ni lü,
23 as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
ca kcük kpamica he cun Pamhnama ka vaia jah ngcimcaihsak vai tia Mosia ngthumkhän üng a awma kba, Pamhnama veia pe ni lü,
24 and to offer a sacrifice, according to what is directed in the law of the Lord: “A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.”
Bawipa ngthumkhän üng mümca nghngih, am acunüng mümkyap nghngih jah hnim vai ti lü a awma kba ani pawh.
25 And lo! there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and he was a righteous and devout man, waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him;
Acunüng, Jerusalema Simeon ngming naki khyang mat awmki, acun cun khyangsungpyun, Pamhnam jum lü, Isarel hea küikyanak vai a na ngak'uhki, a khana ngmüimkhya ngcim naw a awmnaka kyaki.
26 and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
Ani cun Bawipa Khritaw am a hmuh hama küt üng am thi khai tia ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw ana ksingsaka kyaki.
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
Acunüng, hnasen Jesuh, a nu la a pa naw Temple k'uma, thuma kba pawh pet vaia ani lawpüi üng, Simeon cun ngmüimkhya naw ngkhahpüi se Temple k'uma law lü,
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
a kut am hnasen kpawmki naw, Pamhnam mküimto lü,
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
“Bawipa aw, atuh na ngthua kba na m'ya dim’yenak am na cehsak be khaia kya ve,
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
na küikyanak atuh ka mik am hmu veng,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
khyang avana hmuh vaia na pyan cen:
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Paca kcea veia na vainak sang hü khai la, na khyang Isarel hea hlüngtainak vai cun,” a ti.
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
Acunüng acunkba hnasena mawng a pyen cun a nu la a pa naw aktäa ani kyühkhyai.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that will be spoken against; —
Acunüng Simeon naw ani cun josenak am kbe lü, a nu Mariha veia, “Ngaia, hina hnasen hin Isarel he üng khyang khawjaha pyehnak vai la küikyanak vaia Mhnam naw a xü ni. Acunüng khyang naw ami pyenei vaia msingnaka mcawna kyaki.
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
“Khyang khawjaha ami ngaihkyunak a ngdangnak vaia, kcim naw namäta mlung pi ning sun khai,” a ti.
36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel: of the tribe of Asher; she was of great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
Acunüng sahma hmeinu mat Anna ami ti Panuelaha canu, Ashea mjü üngka awmki.
37 and she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
Acunüng kum khyüh cei mah lü kum khyetkip la kphyü lawki hmeinu, Pamhnama Temple am ceh ta lü, amhmüp amthan, a ei jeih lü ktaiyü lü, Pamhnam sawkhahki.
38 And she came up at this very time, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
Ani pi acun la Pamhnama ima law lü, Pamhnama veia jekyainaka ngthu pyen lü, Jerusalema lätnak vai ngak'uheiki hea veia, hnasena mawng cun a jah mtheh.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Acunüng, Bawipa ngthupeta kba Josep la Marih cun ahmäi ani pawh khap üng, animäta khaw Kalile, Nazaret khawa cit beki xawi.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
Acunüng, anghmaw cun ngbaü law lü, a mlung ngainak kyan law ksetam tam lü, ksingkhyapnak am be law se, Pamhnama m'yeneinak a khana awmki.
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Kphyawnpawi buhpawhnaka Jesuha nu la a pa akum tä se Jerusalema cit khawiki xawi.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
Acunüng, Jesuh a kum xaleinghngih üng buhpawhnaka, ami thum khawia kba Jerusalema hang citki he.
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
Acuna mhmüp ngpäng se, ami nghlat law be üng, kpamica Jesuh cun Jerusalema awmei hütki. Acun, a nu la Josep naw am ani ksing.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
A nu la Josep naw Jesuh cun a püi anghmawea veia awmkia ngai ni lü, mhmüp mat ana citki xawi, acunüng ami püi he la ami mjü hea veia ani sui hü.
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
Acunüng, am ani hmu üng, Jerusalema nghlat be ni lü ani sui.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
Acunüng, amhmüp kthum käna, Temple k'uma saja hea ksunga ngaw lü, ami pyen jah ngai lü, jah kthäh lü awm se ani hmuh be.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
Acunüng, a ngthu ngjaki he naw, a ksingnak la a jah msangnakea phäha aktäa cäiki he.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed; and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have been seeking thee in much distress.
Acunüng, ani va hmuh üng, aktäa cäi ni lü, a nu naw, “Ka capa aw, ivai hinkba na awmki ni? Ngaia na pa la kei cäi ni lü, kani ning sui hüki hin,” a ti.
49 And he said to them, Why is it that ye have been seeking me? Did ye not know that I must be about my Father's business?
Jesuh naw, “Ivai nani na sui hüki ni? Ka pa ima ka awm khai ti am nani ksingki aw?” ti lü a jah msang.
50 And they understood not what he spoke to them.
Cunsepi, a jah msangnaka suilam cun am ani ksing.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
Acunüng, ani hlawnga law be lü, Nazareta law beki, acuia ani mtheh ngai lü awmki. Acunüng a nu naw, avan a mlung k'uma a tak.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Acunüng, Jesuh cun ngvai lawca lü, ksingkhyapnak am kümbe law ksetam lü, Mhnam la khyang hea mik khamei law ksetam tamki.
