< 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 —
Lao esa, leleꞌ Kirenius dadꞌi malangga mana parenda sia Siria, ma mane monaeꞌ, naran Agustus, fee parendaꞌ nae, “Basa atahori mana sia manaparenda Roma koasan musi baliꞌ kambon fo tungga sensus!” Naa fefeun fo manaparenda Roma reken rauinggu nara.
2 this enrolment first came to pass when Cyrenius was governor of Syria —
3 and all were going to be enrolled, each to his proper city,
Dadꞌi basa atahori baliꞌ kambon fo tungga sensus.
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,
Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf leo sia kambo Nazaret sia propinsi Galilea. Ana nae laꞌe ana fetoꞌ sa, naran Maria, de mana henggene basaꞌ ena. Maria ia, mairuꞌ ena. Yusuf naa, mane Daud tititi-nonosin, de musi baliꞌ risiꞌ Betlehem kota Daud sia propinsi Yudea fo tungga sensus. Naa de ruꞌa se lao kota Betlehem reu.
5 to enrol himself with Mary his betrothed wife, being with child.
6 And it came to pass, in their being there, the days were fulfilled for her bringing forth,
Leleꞌ ara losa naa ena, Maria fula-fai bobꞌonggin nae losa boe.
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.
Te sia naa, ara nda hambu kama sia ume sesebaꞌ sa. De ara risiꞌ lalaet bibꞌi rala. Boe ma ana bꞌonggi Ana ulun, touꞌ. Boe ma ara ralusa E rendiꞌ temeꞌ, ma rasusunggu sia haꞌo rala.
8 And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the field, and keeping the night-watches over their flock,
Tetembaꞌ naa, hambu manatadꞌa hira beꞌe ranea bibꞌi lombo nara sia lenuꞌ sia kota a deaꞌ.
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.
Aiboiꞌ ma, ara rita Lamatualain aten mia sorga. Boe ma Lamatuaꞌ manggarelon naronda rereoꞌ se, de ramatau rae mate.
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 —
Ma ate naa nafadꞌe nae, “Ama afiꞌ mimitau dei! Rena malolole, e! Huu Au uma ufadꞌe hara-lii maloleꞌ sa neu nggi. Basa mana rena hara-liiꞌ ia, ramahoꞌo.
11 because there was born to you to-day a Saviour — who is Christ the Lord — in the city of David,
Hara-lii maloleꞌ ia liin taꞌo ia: Faiꞌ ia inaꞌ sa bꞌonggi Kristus, sia Betlehem, mane Daud kotan. Kristus naa, Atahori fo Lamatualain helu-fuli eniꞌ a maꞌahulun. Lamatuaꞌ haitua E nema fo soi-tefa atahori sala-kilu nara! Eni ia, dei fo atahori roꞌe rae, ‘Lamatuaꞌ’, huu Eni mana parenda basaꞌ e!
12 and this [is] to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped up, lying in the manger.'
Dei fo hei mihine E taꞌo ia: hei mindaa Anadikiꞌ sa nenebꞌonggi feuꞌ mana nelusaꞌ no temeꞌ. Ana sungguꞌ sia haꞌo rala.”
13 And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,
Ana olaꞌ basa ma, aiboiꞌ te, Lamatualain aten hetar mia sorga rema raꞌabꞌue ro E. Boe ma ara koa-kio Lamatualain ma sodꞌa rae,
14 'Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men — good will.'
“Hai soꞌu minanaru Lamatualain naran! Eni mana endoꞌ parenda sia lalai narun manaseliꞌ a. Lamatualain nae fee dꞌame neu atahori sia raefafoꞌ, naa tao ralan namahoꞌo!’.
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.'
Basa de, Lamatuaꞌ ate nara baliꞌ sorga reu. Boe ma manatadꞌa naa ra ola-olaꞌ rae, “We! Ata Betlehem teu seꞌu tita Anaꞌ naa dei! Huu Lamatuaꞌ fee haraꞌ neu nggita ena.”
16 And they came, having hasted, and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger,
Boe ma ara lao lai-lai Betlehem reu. De ara randaa ro Maria no Yusuf. Ara o rita Anadiki mana bꞌonggi feuꞌ a mana sungguꞌ sia haꞌo rala.
17 and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the child.
Leleꞌ ara rita Anaꞌ a, ma ara dui rae, “Faꞌra Lamatualain ate nara mia sorga rafadꞌe hai soꞌal Anaꞌ ia ena!” Boe ma ara duꞌi lutuꞌ-leloꞌ losa basa.
18 And all who heard, did wonder concerning the things spoken by the shepherds unto them;
Basa atahori mana rena manatadꞌa ra dudꞌui nara, mbombooꞌ a.
19 and Mary was preserving all these things, pondering in her heart;
Te Maria mbedꞌaꞌ basa mana dadꞌiꞌ naa sia ralan. Ma ana dꞌuꞌa-dꞌuꞌa sangga nahine dalaꞌ naa sosoan.
20 and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God, for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken unto them.
Basa de, manatadꞌa ra baliꞌ risiꞌ bibꞌi lombo nara. Ma ara soꞌu rananaru Lamatualain naran. Roꞌe makasi neu E, huu saa fo ara rena ma ritaꞌ naa, tebꞌe ona saa fo Lamatuaꞌ aten nafadꞌeꞌ a.
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.
Fai falu, ma ara sunat anadikiꞌ a, tungga baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen. De ina-ama nara babꞌae naran ‘Yesus’. Naraꞌ naa, ate mana mia sorga nafadꞌe neu se ena, leleꞌ inan nda feꞌe nairu E sa.
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,
Hambu hohoro-lalaneꞌ sa mia baꞌi Musa nae, ina mana bꞌonggi basa fai haa nulu musi neu tao tungga adꞌat nameu-aoꞌ sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Naa fo ara bisa masoꞌ ume hule-oꞌeꞌ a rala reu onaꞌ biasa. Naa de, Yusuf no Maria Yerusalem reu, fo tao tungga adꞌat naa. Ma ara rendi sira Ana mana bꞌonggi feun nisiꞌ Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a, fo fee ne dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ enan.
23 as it hath been written in the Law of the Lord, — 'Every male opening a womb shall be called holy to the Lord,'
Ara tungga Lamatuaꞌ hohoro-lalanen mana nae, “Sudꞌiꞌ a inaꞌ se bꞌonggi ana ulun, mete ma touꞌ, na, musi fee anaꞌ naa dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ enan.”
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.'
Tungga Lamatuaꞌ hohoro-lalanen, mete ma fee anaꞌ naa neu Lamatuaꞌ, ama-ina nara musi fee tutunu-hohotuꞌ mbui teu pasan esa, do mbui lunda mandaꞌ rua. Naa de Yusuf no Maria o tao tungga hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa.
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,
Leleꞌ naa, hambu tou lasiꞌ sa, naran Simeon, leo sia kota Yerusalem. Eni, Atahori rala ndoos ma ralan hii Lamatuaꞌ. Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren nafadꞌe neu e nae, hela ana nita Kristus, dei fo ana feꞌe maten. Kristus naa, mana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori Israꞌel ra.
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.
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,
Leleꞌ naa, Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen nendi Simeon nisiꞌ Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Naa nandaa no Yesus ama-ina nara ro E nisiꞌ naa, fo fee ne dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ enan.
28 then he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and he said,
Nita Anaꞌ a ma, tou lasiꞌ Simeon oꞌo nala E, ma soꞌu koa-kioꞌ neu Lamatualain nae,
29 'Now Thou dost send away Thy servant, Lord, according to Thy word, in peace,
“Koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ! Lamatuaꞌ tao tungga hehelu-fufulin neu au ena. Dadꞌi ia naa, Lamatuaꞌ bisa mboꞌi au ena, naa fo au mate no maloleꞌ,
30 because mine eyes did see Thy salvation,
Huu au ita Atahori fo Lamatuaꞌ haituaꞌ a ena, fo fee ambon neu hai sala-kilu mara!
31 which Thou didst prepare before the face of all the peoples,
Lamatuaꞌ nae pake Anaꞌ ia fo fee masodꞌaꞌ neu basa nusaꞌ ra.
32 a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Thy people Israel.'
Dei fo Ana onaꞌ rondaꞌ fo mana nendi hadꞌa-hormat neu Lamatuaꞌ atahori Israꞌel nara. Ana o onaꞌ manggareloꞌ a, fo mana matudꞌu Lamatuaꞌ dꞌalan. fee basa nusa feaꞌ ra.”
33 And Joseph and his mother were wondering at the things spoken concerning him,
Rena taꞌo naa, ma Yusuf no Maria heran bali-baliꞌ neu saa fo tou lasiꞌ a olaꞌ soꞌal sira Anan.
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 —
Basa de, Simeon olaꞌ papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fee se. Boe ma ana nafadꞌe Maria nae, “Yesus maman e! Dei fo atahori hetar sia Israꞌel nda simbo mama Anan ia sa. Te tatao-nonoꞌi nara mbali E, dei fo ratudaꞌ baliꞌ se. Mama Anan ia, o tao fee atahori hetar rala nara ramahoꞌo.
35 (and also thine own soul shall a sword pass through) — that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed.'
No taꞌo naa, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ soi natudꞌu atahori ra rala-dꞌudꞌuꞌa nara. Te ho, Maria, dei fo hambu doidꞌosoꞌ naen seli, onaꞌ fela tafaꞌ nenembauꞌ nisiꞌ tenda boam rala.”
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,
Sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a o hambu beiꞌ sa, naran Hana. Ana too falu nulu haa ena. Aman, naran Fanuel, mia leo Aser. Ana sao too hitu, boe ma saon mate hela e. Bei Hana Ia, Lamatualain mana ola-olan. Ue-tataon, naeni hule-oꞌe ma puasa sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a, fo beꞌutee neu Lamatualain hatuꞌ-rerelon.
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,
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.
Leleꞌ Simeon olaꞌ no Yusuf ma Maria, Hana o neu deka-deka boe. De ana rena se, ma ana soꞌu kokoa-kikioꞌ neu Lamatualain. Basa ma ana olaꞌ soꞌal Yesus neu basa atahori mana rahani Maneꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ helu nae haitua nema fo mboꞌi atahori Israꞌel ra.
39 And when they finished all things, according to the Law of the Lord, they turned back to Galilee, to their city Nazareth;
Leleꞌ Yusuf no Maria tao tungga baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalane nara sia kota Yerusalem ena, boe ma ara baliꞌ risiꞌ sira kambon Nasaret sia propinsi Galilea.
40 and the child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Boe ma Yesus boe naꞌamoko. Ana boe maꞌadereꞌ, boe nahine, ma nahine dalaꞌ naeꞌ sosoa-ndandaa nara. Lamatualain o natudꞌu rala malolen neu E.
41 And his parents were going yearly to Jerusalem, at the feast of the passover,
Tungga too, Yusuf no Maria reu raa fefeta Paska sia Kota Yerusalem.
42 and when he became twelve years old, they having gone up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
Leleꞌ Yesus too sanahulu rua, ara reu risiꞌ Yerusalem fo tungga fefetas ona biasa na.
43 and having finished the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother did not know,
Leleꞌ fai-fai Paska basa ena, boe ma Yusuf no Maria lao baliꞌ Nasaret reu ramaloloꞌ ro atahori hetar mana rae baliꞌ Galilea reu. Te nda bubꞌuluꞌ rae, Yesus feꞌe sia Yerusalem sa. Ara rae neꞌo Ana lao namaloloꞌ no nonoo nara. Te, losa bobꞌoꞌ ena, nda rita E sa. Boe ma ara sangga E reu-rema sia bobꞌonggi nara ma nonoo nara.
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,
45 and not having found him, they turned back to Jerusalem seeking him.
Huu nda hambu randa ro E sa, de ara lao baliꞌ Yerusalem reu, fo sangga E sia naa.
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,
Losa naa, ara sangga E losa fai telu, dei de hambu E mia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a rala. Ana endoꞌ naselu-bale no meser agama Yahudi ra.
47 and all those hearing him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Basa atahori mana rena se mbomboꞌ a, huu Ana nahine tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatualain Hara-liin sosoa-ndandan, ma Ana nataa netane nara no maloleꞌ.
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.'
Rita taꞌo naa ma, ina-ama nara titindindiꞌ a. Boe ma inan nae, “Yesus! Taꞌo bee de tao hai susa onaꞌ ia? Au o ama ma susa-susa sangga rereoꞌ Nggo.
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?'
Te Yesus nataa nae, “Taꞌo bee de papa no mama susa-susa sangga Au? Bꞌubꞌuluꞌ ena, to? Au hambu ue-taos sia Ama Ngga Umen.”
50 and they did not understand the saying that he spake to them,
Te ara nda rahine Yesus oꞌolan no matetuꞌ sa.
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,
Boe ma basa se baliꞌ Nasaret reu. Yesus tungga ina-aman parenda nara. Ma inan mbedaꞌ basa dalaꞌ naa ra sia ralan.
52 and Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.
Ma Yesus boe naꞌamoko ma, boe nahine basa dꞌala maloleꞌ ra. Lamatualain ma atahori o sue E boe.
