Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days, there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world be enrolled —
Chuphat lai chun Rome gamvaipo, Augustus chun Rome gamsung pumpia minsut ding thupeh ahin neitan ahi.
2 this enrolment first came to pass when Cyrenius was governor of Syria —
(Hiche hi minsut amasapen Quirinius Syria gamvaipo ahilai anahi).
3 and all were going to be enrolled, each to his proper city,
Mijouse ama ama hung kondoh na khopi ah minsut na a kijihlut dingin akile un ahi.
4 and Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, that is called Bethlehem, because of his being of the house and family of David,
Chule Joseph chu leng David chilhah ahijeh chun, Judea gam Bethlehem, David gollui laiya achenna in'a ache angaitai. Chua chun ama akholjin in Galilee gam Nazareth kho a pat in akipatdoh'e.
5 to enrol himself with Mary his betrothed wife, being with child.
Aman agolngai Mary chu akipuiyin, amanu chu agaiyah ahi akichen in ahi.
6 And it came to pass, in their being there, the days were fulfilled for her bringing forth,
Chule chumun a aum laiyun, naoso phat chu ahung lhing tan ahi.
7 and she brought forth her son — the first-born, and wrapped him up, and laid him down in the manger, because there was not for them a place in the guest-chamber.
Amanun acha masa, chapa khat ahingin, pon'in phatah in ajel in gan ankong ah alupsah'e, ajeh chu gemun amaho dia onglou anahi.
8 And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the field, and keeping the night-watches over their flock,
Chuche jan chun kelngoi chingho loujao anai dungah aum'un, kelngoiho aventup u ahi.
9 and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood over them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared a great fear.
Phulou helouvin Pakai vantil khat ahenguvah ahung kilah in, chule Pakai loupina in akimvel'u asalvah soh'e. Amaho akichauvin,
10 And the messenger said to them, 'Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people —
ahivangin vantil chun alhamon in, “Kicha hih'un” tin aseiyin “Keiman nangho kipana thupha, mijouse dinga kipana hinso ding kahin pohpeh uve.
11 because there was born to you to-day a Saviour — who is Christ the Lord — in the city of David,
Huhhingpu, ahi, Messiah chu, Pakai chu tunin David khopi Bethlehem ah apengtai!
12 and this [is] to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped up, lying in the manger.'
Chule nanghon hiche melchihna a hi nahetdoh thei diu ahi: Nanghon naosen pon ajol jol'a kitup sel'a kijel, gan ankonga kilupsah nagamu diu ahi,” ati.
13 And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,
Phulou helouvin vantil chu vanmi janel honpi hon ahinjop'un–van sepai hotoh–Pathen avahchoiyun chule hitin aseiyuve,
14 'Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men — good will.'
“Van chungnung pen'a Pathen loupi hen, chule leiset chunga Pathen lunglhaina mi ho lah'a cham leng hen,” atiuve.
15 And it came to pass, when the messengers were gone away from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said unto one another, 'We may go over indeed unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that hath come to pass, that the Lord did make known to us.'
Vantilte van lam'a akilephat un kelngoi chingho khat le khat akihouvun, “Bethlehem a cheu hite! Hiche thilsoh ho Pakaiyin eiseipeh uhi gaveuhite,” akitiuve.
16 And they came, having hasted, and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger,
Amaho khosung a chun kinloi tah'in acheuvin Mary le Joseph agamu uvin, chule naosen chu gan ankong a chun analum'e.
17 and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the child.
Ama amuphat uvin kelngoi chinghon thilsoh ho le vantil in naosen chungchanga amaho jah'a aseiho mijouse aseipeh tauvin ahi.
18 And all who heard, did wonder concerning the things spoken by the shepherds unto them;
Kelngoi chingho thusei jajouse chu alungdong lheh jeng tauvin,
19 and Mary was preserving all these things, pondering in her heart;
ahivangin Mary'n hitiho jouse hi alungsungah akoiyin khatvei vei kom le ahin geldoh ji'e.
20 and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God, for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken unto them.
Kelngoi chingho akelngoi hon teu hengah akile kit un, athilmu hou le ajah hou jal'in Pathen aloupisah un chule avahchoi tauve. Vantil in aseipeh'u bang chet in thil asoh'e.
21 And when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise the child, then was his name called Jesus, having been so called by the messenger before his being conceived in the womb.
Niget jouvin naosen chu chep atanpeh un amin Yeshua asah tauve, hichu vantil in akijil masanga pat'a anaminsah sa ahitai.
22 And when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present to the Lord,
Chuin kisuhthengna thilto phat alhing tan, Mose dan'in chapang khat apen jouva boldinga angeh dungjuiyin; chuti chun anu le apan Pakai henga pehdoh dingin Jerusalem'a ahin pui lhon'e.
23 as it hath been written in the Law of the Lord, — 'Every male opening a womb shall be called holy to the Lord,'
Pakai danthu chun hitia hi asei ahi, “Numei cha masa chu pasal ahia leh, amapa chu Pakai henga kikatdoh ding ahi.”
24 and to give a sacrifice, according to that said in the Law of the Lord, 'A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.'
Chuin Pakai danthua kingeh bangtah in kilhaina chu atoh lhon in ahi–vakhu kop khat ahiloule vapal ni hiji ahi.
25 And lo, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [is] Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the comforting of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him,
Chuphat lai chun Jerusalem ah Simeon kiti mikhat anaum'e. Amachu michonpha le Pathen hou guttah chule Messiah ahunga Israel ahung lhatdoh ding kinem'a ngahjing khat anahi. Lhagao Theng achungah achun,
26 and it hath been divinely told him by the Holy Spirit — not to see death before he may see the Christ of the Lord.
chule Pakai Messiah amutokah'a thilou dinga anaseipeh anahi.
27 And he came in the Spirit to the temple, and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for their doing according to the custom of the law regarding him,
Hiche ni chun Lhagao chun Houin sungah apuilut in ahi. Chuin Mary le Joseph chun naosen chu Pakai koma danthua kingeh dungjuiya ahung pehdoh lhon chun,
28 then he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and he said,
Simeon chu anaum in ahi. Aman naosen chu alan Pathen athangvah in, hitin ati,
29 'Now Thou dost send away Thy servant, Lord, according to Thy word, in peace,
“Chungnungpen Pakai, tun nasohpa lungmongin thisah tan nakitepna bangin,
30 because mine eyes did see Thy salvation,
Keiman namihuhhingna kamutai,
31 which Thou didst prepare before the face of all the peoples,
Mijouse dinga nagon chu,
32 a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Thy people Israel.'
Ama hi namtin vaipi henga Pathen phongdoh ding vah chu ahi, chule ama hi nami Israelte loupina chu ahi.”
33 And Joseph and his mother were wondering at the things spoken concerning him,
Yeshua nu le pachu ama chungchang thu kisei ho jeh chun alungdong lheh jeng lhon'e.
34 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, 'Lo, this [one] is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against —
Chuin Simeon in amaho chu phatthei aboh in chule Mary, naosen nu koma chun aseitai, “Hiche chapang hi Israel sunga mi tamtah lhuhna dinga got'a um ahi, ahivanga midang tampi a dinga kipana hiding ahi. Ama hi Pathen'a kona melchih na a hung kisol ahin, hinlah mi tamtah'in adoudal ding ahi.
35 (and also thine own soul shall a sword pass through) — that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed.'
Chuho jeh'a mi tamtah lunggel thuhpen ho kiphongdoh ding ahi. Chule chemjam in nalhagao asutkhah ding ahi.”
36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she was much advanced in days, having lived with an husband seven years from her virginity,
Themgao khat amin Anna kiti khat jong Houin a chu umah ahi. Amanu chu Phanuel chanu Asher phung'a mi ahin, chule hateh'a teh ahitai. A-inneipu chu akichen lhon kum sagi bep sunga thi ahitai.
37 and she [is] a widow of about eighty-four years, who did depart not from the temple, with fasts and supplications serving, night and day,
Chutia chu amanu hin kum somget le li jen meithai hinkho ahin man ahi. Amanun Houin adalha ngai pon, asun ajan in aum jingin, an-ngol le taona pumin Pathen ahoujinge.
38 and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
Simeon chun Mary le Joseph koma thu aseilai chun amanu jong ahungin Pathen avahchoi pantai. Chapang chungchang thudol Pathen in Jerusalem ahuhdoh nadinga gingcha tah'a ngah jing ho jouse komah aseiyin ahi.
39 And when they finished all things, according to the Law of the Lord, they turned back to Galilee, to their city Nazareth;
Yeshua nu le pan Pakai danthu dungjuiya boldinga lom cheng abulhit soh lhon phat in, a-in'u Galilee gam Nazereth kho ah akile tauve.
40 and the child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Chumun a chun chapangpa chu tahsa damthei tah le hattah in ahung khanglen in ahi. Amachu chihna adimset in chule Pathen khotona achungah aume. Jerusalem Hou'in a Yeshua
41 And his parents were going yearly to Jerusalem, at the feast of the passover,
Kumseh le Yeshua nu le pa Kalchuh Kut mang'in acheji lhonin ahi.
42 and when he became twelve years old, they having gone up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
Yeshua kum somleni alhin chun angaima bangin hiche kut mang ding chun acheuve.
43 and having finished the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother did not know,
Kut kichaiyin inlang Nazereth a kile din akipan tauvin, ahin Yeshua chu Jerusalem ah aumden tan ahi. Anu le apan atil'in hichu ahedoh lhon pon,
44 and, having supposed him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and were seeking him among the kindred and among the acquaintances,
ajeh chu kholjin dang hotoh kilhon khom dan a angaito lhon ahi. Ahivangin ama chuche nilhah'a ahung kilulah loubeh phat in asopi aheng akom le aloi agol ho komah aga vele lhontai.
45 and not having found him, they turned back to Jerusalem seeking him.
Amulhon loubeh phat in Jerusalem lamah ama holdin akile kit lhon tai.
46 And it came to pass, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them,
Nithum jouvin achainakeiyin Houin sungah agamudoh lhonin, houhil ho lah a atouva, athuseiyu angaiya, chule thudoh anei chu amudoh lhon tai.
47 and all those hearing him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Ama thusei jajouse chun athuhet le athudoh donbut ho chu adatmah lheh jeng tauve.
48 And, having seen him, they were amazed, and his mother said unto him, 'Child, why didst thou thus to us? lo, thy father and I, sorrowing, were seeking thee.'
Anu le apan ima lunggel je jong ahelhon tapoi. Chuin anun ahinseiyin, “Chapa,” ipijeh'a hiche hi keini koma nabol ham? Napa le keiman munjouse kahol lhon'a lunggim a kahilhon tai, ati.
49 And he said unto them, 'Why [is it] that ye were seeking me? did ye not know that in the things of my Father it behoveth me to be?'
“Ahivanga ipijeh'a neihol khoh u ngai ham?” tin adongin, “Nahet lou u ham kapa in'a kaum ding mong ahi hi?” tin adonge.
50 and they did not understand the saying that he spake to them,
Ahivangin ipi aseina ahi ahedoh lhon pon ahi.
51 and he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was subject to them, and his mother was keeping all these sayings in her heart,
Chuin amaho chutoh Nazareth lam'a a-kile un chuva chun anu apa thunoiya aumtai. Chule anun hitiho jouse hi alungthimah aguh'in avop jing in ahi.
52 and Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.
Yeshua chu chihna le atahsa in akhangin chule Pathen le mihem deisah na in aumtan ahi.
