Luke 2
1 About that time an edict was issued by the Emperor Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole Empire.
Nau hethauwuu hena hese hauchuwude haeneāsanau hehethee Caesar Augustus henee vahee henanedanede hadnayāadee.
2 (This was the first census taken while Quirinius was Governor of Syria).
(Nau nuu nayāadede haenedauwunesede deauchuwunanenede Cyrenius Syria.)
3 And everyone went to his own town to be registered.
Nau vahee haeauāchaudene hadnayāadee haunauude hanesāde hesee nehayau hededan.
4 Among others Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem, the town of David, in Judea – because he belonged to the family and house of David –
Nau Joseph jea haeyehau hehethee Gananee, hehethee hedan Nazareth, jedauwuu Judea, jedauwuu hededan David Bethlehem neseee, (hanau naadahagu hedauauwunene nau nedānee David, )
5 to be registered with Mary, his engaged wife, who was about to become a mother.
Hadnethenayāade naguu Mareheau heauthehewauthādaune hadnewaune wauwu haeehāthane heee henesaune.
6 While they were there her time came,
Nau hethauwuu, henee hajesenausunanedauthee, hese haevadauaunau hadneejanesāde.
7 and she gave birth to her first child, a son. And because there was no room for them in the inn, she swathed him round and laid him in a manger.
Nau hanaāejanesāde henedauwusaune heau, nau haeajetha, nau haeesevana hewauchuhauchave nedau vethehenethe; hanau haeneau vethehedaunauauwuu.
8 In that same countryside were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,
Nau hena vavade vedauauwuu haudānajauāhehauau haeaudenauau, haeaunaunehanauau haeaunauyauhauvanauau hedajauanenau vegau.
9 when an angel of the Lord suddenly stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were seized with fear.
Nau, wauhā, Vahadāde hedautheaune haeedasā, nau havathee haeseenauasāaunauau Vahadānith; nau haevasenāthajaunauau.
10 ‘Have no fear,’ the angel said. ‘For I bring you good news of a great joy in store for all the nation.
Nau hautheaun jevanāthajauau hathāhaugaunee: hanau, naune, nauuchaudaunathana hethadee waunauyauau havathee neethajaude, nanaa heee vahee henanedanede.
11 This day there has been born to you, in the town of David, a Saviour, who is Christ and Lord.
Heee nananena janesee nuu desenee hededan David Henayauthāhe, nananede Chris Vahadāde.
12 And this will be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger.’
Nau nuu hadneaenauwuna; Nananena hadveehauna dāeyaunaa hanajehede, saesee hewauchuhauchave nedauvethehethee.
13 Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly Host, praising God, and singing –
Nau nauhauhaunee hena haewauthanauau hejavaa hautheaunauau nauguu naa hautheau haevaveenethedaunanauau Hejavaneauthu, nau hasenehehaugaunee,
14 ‘glory to God on high, and on earth peace among those in whom he finds pleasure.’
Havathee hauwaunede hesee Hejavaneauthau hejavaa, nau dasee vedauauwuu nanethauaunee, hethadee hathanavana henanedanede.
15 Now, when the angels had left them and gone back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, of which the Lord has told us.’
Nau hethauwuu, hautheaunauau haejaenauthā hesee hejavaa, Wauhā hadeehaunau Bethlehem, hanathadagaunee nuu haudānajauāhehauau, nau nauhaudauwuu nuu hayewhu javeauau, nanaa Vahadāde hāāedauwunādaunene.
16 So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;
Nau haenauchuhanauusanauau, nau haeveehanauau Mare nau Joseph, nau dāeyaunauau haesaeseene hewauchuhauchauwauauwuu henee nedauvethehenethe hewauchuhauchāve.
17 and, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
Nau hāenauhauwauthee, haeneānauthedanauau nuu hathauthedaunāhethee heee dāeyaunauau.
18 All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
Nau vahee hathāenedauvade haegaugauanadauwu henee hayauhuhau nuu hathauthedaunāthee haudānajauāhehau.
19 while Mary treasured in her heart all that they said, and thought about it often.
Nau Mare haeaunaunede vahee nuu hayauhuhau, nau haegaugauanade hedahaa.
20 And the shepherds went back, giving glory and praise to God for all that they had heard and seen. It had all happened as they had been told.
Nau haudānajauāhehauau haejaesanauau, haevaveenethedaunanauau nau haevaveenethedaunanauau Hejavaneauthu heee vahee hanathadauvathee nau hathauhauthāthee, neethāedauwunāhethee.
21 Eight days after the birth of the child, when it was time to circumcise him, he received the name Jesus – the name given him by the angel before his conception.
Nau hāenasaudauchunesee hadneegauguusede dāeyaunaa heneseede Jesus, haseadagu nuu haseede haenaneeseāde hautheaunau haunauau deejethāsee.
22 When the period of purification of mother and child, required by the Law of Moses, came to an end, his parents took the child up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
Nau hesee hāewaudeauchaude hasaunee hedauchuwude Moses hāevadauaunee, haeyehauthanauau hesee Dadaunedan hadjenanauwunauthee Vahadāhenith;
23 in compliance with the Law of the Lord that every firstborn male will be dedicated to the Lord,
(Hathauthaunauhunee hauchuwudaunaa Vahadāde, Dajee haunauahee henee nedauwusau vadade hadnethade hesee Vahadāhenith: )
24 and also to offer the sacrifice required by the Law of the Lord – a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
Nau hadnausāyaudenee neesenehedaunee hauchuwudaunaa Vahadāde, Hanesethee vedāenauau, wauāthe hanesethee neauthuvedāesaunauau.
25 There was at that time in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, a righteous and devout man, who lived in constant expectation of Israel’s consulation, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Nau, naune, hena henane haeanedau Dādaunedan, Simeon haenaneeseede; nau naa henane haechuvā nau haeethauwuthajau, haeejauwuwude hadneneethajauthee Israel: nau Vadanauwauthauwu haethāsade.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Nau haeeauthedaunaa Vadanauwauthauwu, henee hadjenauhaudauau gaujauaudahede, haunaude hadnauhauwaude Vahadāhenith Chris.
27 Moved by the Spirit, Simeon came into the Temple Courts, and, when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the Law,
Nau haejeheenauusa Vadanauwauthauwu jedauwuu Vadannauauwuu: nau hāene henehā Hejavaeneauthusau jedanāde hadnesehāde thauguu hasauau hauchuwude,
28 Simeon himself took the child in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
Hanaāejavethenauanaude hejadenaa, nau haevaveenethedauna Hejavaneauthu nau hanaāenehede,
29 ‘Now, Lord, you will let your servant go, according to your word, in peace,
Vahadāhene, hewaunehaa nanehāejenanaude hauwauwaunave hadnaudauau nanethauaunee, hasauau hadanadede:
30 for my eyes have seen the salvation
Heee nasesā naunauhauwauau havāde Henayauthāhe,
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations –
Naa nananin hadnesaanudene hathaāhedaunee vahee henanedanede;
32 a light to bring light to the Gentiles, and to be the glory of your people Israel.’
Hesee hadneesenee Hathāauau henanedanede, nau havathee hadnanedanede Israel.
33 While the child’s father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
Nau Joseph nau henaune haegaugauanadauwu hena hayauhuhau hanasenehethavathe.
34 Simeon gave them his blessing, and said to Mary, the child’s mother, ‘This child is appointed to be the cause of the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign much spoken against –
Nau Simeon haevevethasa, nau haeāedauwuna Mareheau henaune, Naune, Naa dāeyaunaa haneejenanade hadneaunenauaudenenee nau hadneejaegauhadenenee hauwauhuu Israel; nau hanau nauhauthethau hadnevathevade;
35 Yes, the sword will pierce your own heart – and so the thoughts in many minds will be disclosed.’
(Haa, gaugauchu hadneegauchuguhune nehayau havadathuvaa jea; ) henee gaugauuthajaudenau hauwauhuu vadauhau hadneauthasuu.
36 There was also a prophet named Hannah, a daughter of Phanuel and of the tribe of Asher. She was far advanced in years, having lived with her husband for seven years after marriage,
Nau hena haenesā Anna, haeyāhe, hedaunau Phanuel, hanaadāde Aser: haewauthanenau hejajenewau, nau haenethenaedeva hechu nesaudauchu jajene hehethee neeesede;
37 and then a widow, until she had reached the age of eighty-four. She never left the Temple Courts, but, fasting and praying, worshiped God night and day.
Nau haeenevesāne heee nasaudausauau yānenee jajene, nananede haeejethauunaude vadannauauwuu, hau haenesedauna Hejavaeneauthu nauguu naugauyaude nau vevethahede dajāee nau hesee.
38 At that moment she came up, and began publicly to thank God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the deliverance of Jerusalem.
Nau haejejedā heee haevaveene jea Vahadāhenith, nau haeheauthedauna vahee nethāejauwuwudethee jauaudaunauthadede jedauwuu Dādaunedan.
39 When the child’s parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
Nau hāesedauthee vahee hayauhuhau hasauau hauchuwude Vahadāde, haejaesanauau hesee Gananee, hadahethee hedan Nazareth.
40 The child grew and became strong and wise, and the blessing of God was on him.
Nau dāeyaunaa haeeseau, nau haedāeaune hevadathuwu, haeechauchaunaude haeyaude: nau Hejavaneauthu vadaude haethāsade.
41 Every year the child’s parents used to go to Jerusalem at the Passover Festival.
Nau wauhā henehā haeehaunenau hesee Dādaunedan hadauchuvejanenee vasevadanesee Hadavechauthadede.
42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they went according to custom to Jerusalem,
Nau denesenenee hejajenewau, haeehaunauau hesee Dādaunedan hanau nesedaudenee vasevadanesee.
43 and had finished their visit; but, when they started to return, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, without their knowing it.
Nau hese hāevadauaunee, hāejāesathee, dāeyaunaa Hejavaneauthusau haenasedauusa Dādaunedan; nau Joseph nau henaune haejaenauwu.
44 Thinking that he was with their fellow travellers, they went one day’s journey before searching for him among their relatives and acquaintances;
Hau henanedaa haenehauvā hathanauwauhaugaunee, nau haejanaugudaunee; hanaāenaudehauthee henedauānene nau henedaehāhene.
45 and then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.
Nau hāejeveehauthee, haejaesanauau hesee Dādaunedan, daunaudehauthee.
46 It was not until the third day that they found him in the Temple Courts, sitting among the teachers, now listening to them, now asking them questions.
Nau hethauwuu hāenasese hanaāeveehauthee jedauwuu vadannauauwuu, haetheaugune nahethāe hauthedahehau, haejaatheha, nau haenaunaudedauna.
47 All who listened to him marvelled at his intelligence and his answers.
Nau vahee hathāenedauwauthāthee haegaugauanadauwu hedaeyaunene nau hedauchuhanehedaunene.
48 His parents were amazed when they saw him, and his mother said to him, ‘My child, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.’
Nau hāenauhauwauthee, haegaugauanavanauau: nau henaune, Nā, naudu hanesehāane? hathāhuk, naune hāsaunau nau nananenau nenaudehane nejeneethajaunee.
49 ‘What made you search for me?’ he answered. ‘Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?’
Nau hathauhuk, naudu haenaudehena? gauhajaene nauchāe wauwu hanedaudauwau Nāsaunau henesethaude?
50 His parents did not understand what he meant.
Nau haejaenauwu hasenehethāthee.
51 However he went down with them to Nazareth, and submitted himself to their control; and his mother treasured all that was said in her heart.
Nau hanaāenethaunaude, nau haenauusanauau Nazareth, nau haeethauwaudaunā: hau henaune haeaunaunedene vahee nuu nehedaunau hedahaa.
52 And Jesus grew in wisdom as he grew in years, and gained the blessing of God and people.
Nau Hejavaneathusau haeneenaneaune hedaeyau nau hajedāde nau vechauthaude Hejavaneauthu nau henanedanede.
