Luke 2
1 Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.
Acunüng, sangpuxang Awkastan naw Romah khaw avan üng ami ngming ami yuk vaia ngthu a jah pet.
2 This was the first enrollment made when 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 enroll themselves, every one 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 family 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 enroll himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great 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, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.
Bethlehema ani ve üng Marih cun a canak vaia mhmüp küm lawki.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling 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 shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Acunüng, acuna khawa toksäm he, kpyawnga ami to he jah k’äih u lü mthana awmki he.
9 And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
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 unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:
Acunüng, khankhawngsä naw, “Ä kyü ua, ng'ngai ua, khyang avana phäha, jekyainaka thangkdaw ka ning jah thak lawki ni.
11 for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
“Tuhngawi Davita mlüha küikyan bawi, Bawipa Khritaw, nami hama hmiki.
12 And this [is] the sign unto you; Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and 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 in whom he is well pleased.
“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 went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto 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 both 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 saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Acunüng, ami va hmuh khap üng, hnasena mawng khankhawngsä naw a jah mtheh cun aktäa ami pyen.
18 And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.
Acunüng, toksäm hea ngthu pyen ngjaki he avan cun, aktäa cäicahki he.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering 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 the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto 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 fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called 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 fulfilled, they brought him up 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 male that openeth the womb 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 that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, 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 behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking 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 unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
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, that they might do concerning him after 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 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
a kut am hnasen kpawmki naw, Pamhnam mküimto lü,
29 Now lettest thou thy servant depart, O Lord, According to thy word, in peace;
“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 peoples;
khyang avana hmuh vaia na pyan cen:
32 A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And 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 were marveling at the things which were 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 unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel; and for a sign which is 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 and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out 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 one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having 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 had been a widow even for fourscore and four years), which departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications 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 coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them 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 accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into 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, 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 And his parents went every year 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, 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 when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not;
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, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for 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 when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.
Acunüng, am ani hmu üng, Jerusalema nghlat be ni lü ani sui.
46 And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing 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 that heard him were amazed 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 astonished: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.
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 unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be in my Father’s house?
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 the saying which he spake unto them.
Cunsepi, a jah msangnaka suilam cun am ani ksing.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all [these] sayings 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 advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour 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.
