Ruka 2
1 I aua ra ka whakatakotoria he tikanga e Hiha Akuhata kia tuhituhia te ao katoa.
And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be registered.
2 Ko te tuhituhinga tuatahi tenei i meatia i te wa ko Kuirinia te kawana o Hiria.
(This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
3 A ka haere nga tangata katoa kia tuhituhia, ia tangata, ia tangata, ki tona ake pa.
And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
4 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:
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,
5 Kia tuhituhia ai raua ko tana wahine taumau, ko Meri, e hapu ana ia.
to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
6 A, i a raua i reira, ka rite nga ra e whanau ai ia.
And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
7 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.
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.
8 I taua wahi hoki etahi hepara e noho koraha ana, e tiaki ana i ta ratou kahui i te po.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 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.
And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.
10 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.
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;
11 Nonaianei hoki i whanau ai he Kaiwhakaora mo koutou i te pa o Rawiri, ara a te Karaiti, te Ariki.
for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
12 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.
And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
13 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,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Kia whai kororia te Atua i runga rawa, kia mau te rongo ki runga ki te whenua, me te whakaaro pai ki nga tangata.
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
15 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.
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.
16 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.
And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
17 A, no ka kite, ka whakapuakina te mea i korerotia ki a ratou mo tenei tamaiti.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
18 A miharo ana nga kaiwhakarongo katoa ki enei mea, i korerotia nei ki a ratou e nga hepara.
And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 Ko Meri ia i ata rongoa i enei mea katoa, me te whakaaroaro i roto i tona ngakau.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 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.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
21 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.
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.
22 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.
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,
23 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.
as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
24 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.
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.”
25 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.
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;
26 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.
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.
27 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,
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,
28 Ka tango ia i a ia ki ona ringa, ka whakapai ki te Atua, ka mea,
he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Katahi, e te Ariki, ka tukua tau pononga kia haere i runga i te rangimarie, ka pera me tau i korero ai:
Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
30 Ka kite nei hoki oku kanohi i tau whakaoranga,
for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Ka whakatakotoria nei e koe ki te aroaro o nga iwi katoa;
which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
32 Hei whakamarama e kite ai nga tauiwi, hei kororia hoki mo tau iwi, mo Iharaira.
a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
33 A miharo tonu a Hohepa raua ko tona whaea ki nga kupu i korerotia mona.
And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
34 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;
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; —
35 Ae ra, ka tika atu ano te hoari, a puta noa i tou ake wairua, e hurahia ai nga whakaaro o nga ngakau maha.
yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 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;
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;
37 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.
and she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 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.
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.
39 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.
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 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.
And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
41 A i haere ona matua i ia tau, i ia tau ki Hiruharama i te hakari o te kapenga.
Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
42 A ka tekau ma rua ona tau, ka haere ratou i runga i nga ritenga o te hakari.
And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
43 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.
and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
44 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.
but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
45 A, no te korenga i kitea ia, hoki ana raua ki Hiruharama, ki te rapu i a ia.
and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
46 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.
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.
47 A miharo katoa ki tona matauranga, ki ana korero, te hunga i rongo ki a ia.
And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
48 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.
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.
49 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?
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?
50 Heoi kihai raua i matau ki te kupu i korerotia ra e ia ki a raua.
And they understood not what he spoke to them.
51 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.
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.
52 Na ka kake haere a Ihu te whakaaro nui, te kaumatua, ka paingia ano e te Atua, e te tangata.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
