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.
I aua ra ka whakatakotoria he tikanga e Hiha Akuhata kia tuhituhia te ao katoa.
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
Ko te tuhituhinga tuatahi tenei i meatia i te wa ko Kuirinia te kawana o Hiria.
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
A ka haere nga tangata katoa kia tuhituhia, ia tangata, ia tangata, ki tona ake pa.
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,
I haere atu ano a Hohepa i Kariri, i te pa, i Nahareta, ki Huria, ki te pa o Rawiri, ko Peterehema te ingoa: no te mea no te whare ia, no te kawei o Rawiri:
5 to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
Kia tuhituhia ai raua ko tana wahine taumau, ko Meri, e hapu ana ia.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
A, i a raua i reira, ka rite nga ra e whanau ai ia.
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.
Na ka whanau tana matamua, a takaia ana e ia ki nga kakahu, ka whakatakotoria ki te takotoranga kai ma nga kararehe; no te mea kahore he wahi mo ratou i te whare.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
I taua wahi hoki etahi hepara e noho koraha ana, e tiaki ana i ta ratou kahui i te po.
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.
Na tu ana tetahi anahera a te Ariki i o ratou taha, a whiti ana te kororia o te Ariki ki a ratou a tawhio noa; a nui whakaharahara to ratou wehi.
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;
Na ka mea te anahera ki a ratou, Kaua e mataku: ta te mea he kaikauwhau tenei ahau ki a koutou mo te hari nui, meake puta mai ki te iwi katoa.
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
Nonaianei hoki i whanau ai he Kaiwhakaora mo koutou i te pa o Rawiri, ara a te Karaiti, te Ariki.
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
Ko te tohu tenei ki a koutou; E kite koutou i te tamaiti ka oti te takai ki te kakahu, e takoto ana i te takotoranga kai ma nga kararehe.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Na ohorere tonu ko tetahi ope nui o te rangi e tu tahi ana me taua anahera, e whakamoemiti ana ki te Atua, e mea ana,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
Kia whai kororia te Atua i runga rawa, kia mau te rongo ki runga ki te whenua, me te whakaaro pai ki nga tangata.
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.
A, ka mawehe atu nga anahera i a ratou ki te rangi, ka mea nga hepara tetahi ki tetahi, Tatou ka haere ki Peterehema, kia kite i tenei mea kua puta nei, kua whakapuakina mai nei e te Ariki ki a tatou.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Na kaika tonu ta ratou haere, a ka kite i a Meri, i a Hohepa, i te tamaiti hoki e takoto ana i te takotoranga kai ma nga kararehe.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
A, no ka kite, ka whakapuakina te mea i korerotia ki a ratou mo tenei tamaiti.
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
A miharo ana nga kaiwhakarongo katoa ki enei mea, i korerotia nei ki a ratou e nga hepara.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Ko Meri ia i ata rongoa i enei mea katoa, me te whakaaroaro i roto i tona ngakau.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
Na ka hoki nga hepara, me te whakakororia, me te whakamoemiti ki te Atua mo nga mea katoa i rongo nei, i kite nei ratou, i rite nei ki nga mea i korerotia ki a ratou.
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.
A, no ka rite nga ra e waru, e kotia ai te tamaiti, ka huaina tona ingoa ko IHU, ko ta te anahera i hua ai ia te mea kahore ano i hapu tona whaea.
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,
A ka rite nga ra e purea ai te whaea, e whakaritea ai te ture a Mohi, ka kawea ia e ratou ki Hiruharama, kia tapaea ki te Ariki.
23 as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
Kia peratia me te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture a te Ariki, Ko nga tane katoa e oroko puta mai i te kopu, e kiia he tapu ki te Ariki.
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.”
Kia hoatu ano he patunga tapu, te mea i korerotia i roto i te ture a te Ariki, Kia rua kukupa, kia rua ranei pi kukupa.
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;
Na, i Hiruharama tetahi tangata, ko Himiona te ingoa; he tangata tika, he tangata whakaaro, e tatari ana ki te whakaharinga o Iharaira: kei runga hoki te Wairua Tapu i a ia.
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.
Na kua whakamaharatia ia e te Wairua Tapu, e kore ia e kite i te mate, kia kite ra ano ia i ta te Ariki Karaiti.
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,
Na ka haere ia ki te temepara, he meatanga na te Wairua: a i nga matua e mau ana i te tamaiti, i a Ihu, kia meatia ai e raua ki a ia ta te ture i whakarite ai,
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Ka tango ia i a ia ki ona ringa, ka whakapai ki te Atua, ka mea,
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
Katahi, e te Ariki, ka tukua tau pononga kia haere i runga i te rangimarie, ka pera me tau i korero ai:
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Ka kite nei hoki oku kanohi i tau whakaoranga,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
Ka whakatakotoria nei e koe ki te aroaro o nga iwi katoa;
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Hei whakamarama e kite ai nga tauiwi, hei kororia hoki mo tau iwi, mo Iharaira.
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
A miharo tonu a Hohepa raua ko tona whaea ki nga kupu i korerotia mona.
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; —
Na ka manaaki a Himiona i a raua, a ka mea ki tona whaea, ki a Meri, Nana, ka waiho tenei tama hei takanga, hei aranga, mo te tini o te tangata i roto i a Iharaira; hei tohu hoki e korerotia kinotia;
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Ae ra, ka tika atu ano te hoari, a puta noa i tou ake wairua, e hurahia ai nga whakaaro o nga ngakau maha.
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;
A tera hoki tetahi ko Ana, he poropiti, he tamahine na Panuera, no te iwi o Ahera; kua kaumatua ia, e whitu nga tau o tona wahinetanga ake i noho ai i te tane;
37 and she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
He pouaru, kua waru tekau ma wha rawa ona tau e pera ana; heoi kihai i mahue i a ia te temepara; he karakia tonu tana, he nohopuku, he inoi, i te po, i te ao.
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.
Na ka tae atu ia i taua haora ano, ka whakawhetai ki te Ariki, a korerotia ana ia e ia ki te hunga katoa o Hiruharama e tatari ana ki te whakaoranga.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
A, no ka oti nga mea katoa e rite ana ki ta te Ariki ture, ka hoki ratou ki Kariri, ki to ratou ake pa, ki Nahareta.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
Na ka tupu te tamaiti, ka pakari haere, ka ki i nga whakaaro nunui: a i runga i a ia te aroha noa o te Atua.
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
A i haere ona matua i ia tau, i ia tau ki Hiruharama i te hakari o te kapenga.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
A ka tekau ma rua ona tau, ka haere ratou i runga i nga ritenga o te hakari.
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
A ka rite nga ra, i a raua e hoki ana, ka whakaware iho te tamaiti, a Ihu, i Hiruharama; kihai hoki ona matua i mohio.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
I mahara hoki raua kei roto ia i te tira, na ka haere, kotahi te ra ki te ara; a ka rapu raua i a ia i roto i nga whanaunga, i a raua tangata hoki i mohio ai.
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
A, no te korenga i kitea ia, hoki ana raua ki Hiruharama, ki te rapu i a ia.
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.
A, muri iho i nga ra e toru ka kitea ia i roto i te temepara, e noho ana i waenganui o nga kaiwhakaako, e whakarongo ana ki a ratou, e ui ana ki a ratou.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
A miharo katoa ki tona matauranga, ki ana korero, te hunga i rongo ki a ia.
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.
A, no ka kite raua i a ia, ka tino miharo: ka mea tona whaea ki a ia, E tama, he aha koe i penei ai ki a maua? na, pouri noa iho maua ko tou papa, i a maua i rapu nei i a koe.
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?
Ka mea ia ki a raua, he aha korua i rapu ai i ahau? Kihai korua i mahara kia noho ahau i te whare o toku Matua?
50 And they understood not what he spoke to them.
Heoi kihai raua i matau ki te kupu i korerotia ra e ia ki a raua.
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.
Na ka haere tahi atu ia me raua ka tae ki Nahareta, ka ngohengohe ia ki a raua: ko tona whaea ia i rongoa i enei kupu katoa i roto i tona ngakau.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Na ka kake haere a Ihu te whakaaro nui, te kaumatua, ka paingia ano e te Atua, e te tangata.
