< Luk 2 >

1 Erah tokdi Luungwanglong Agastas ih Roman noksong loongtang rookweh thuk ano neng men ah le ni raangthiin thuk rumta.
And it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, so that the whole world would be enrolled.
2 Erah phang raang et thukta tok adi, Siria hate Kobono ah Kurinus angta.
This was the first enrollment; it was made by the ruler of Syria, Quirinius.
3 Eno, warep ih neng teewah men ah, maama hah ni raangwan rumta.
And all went to be declared, each one to his own city.
4 Josep ah Galili hah Najeret nawa, Dewid luungwang tup hadaang Judia hah Betlehem ni kata. Tumeah Josep ah Dewid sutoom angta.
Then Joseph also ascended from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 Josep ih Meeri heh suh nook raang ih kakhatta damdi, heh men ah wak raang wanta. Heh ah sakjih angta,
in order to be declared, with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
6 eno neng Betlehem ni ang tokdi, nootup rangwuung ah thok taha.
Then it happened that, while they were there, the days were completed, so that she would give birth.
7 Heh sah phangkhoh rah miwasah eh tupta, eno nyuh rah ih khoon ano maan tokkhuung ni jupthiinta naangjam nok laje thoi eah.
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 at the inn.
8 Erah deek adi mararah saapriimte loong rangphe pheetang ih phek ni, neng saapsah loong ban sok rumta.
And there were shepherds in the same region, being vigilant and keeping watch in the night over their flock.
9 Rangsah rah neng reeni dongchapta, eno Teesu chaan ah neng khothung ni phaakta. Eno neng ah rapne ih cho rumta,
And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near them, and the brightness of God shone around them, and they were struck with a great fear.
10 enoothong Rangsah rah ih liirumta, “Nakcho an! Ngah aradi sen suh Ruurang Ese huijah halang, erah ih mina loongtang suh rapne tenroon thuk ah.
And the Angel said to them: “Do not be afraid. For, behold, I proclaim to you a great joy, which will be for all the people.
11 Chiinyah Dewid hadaang ni sen pangte tupta—Teesu Kristo ah!
For today a Savior has been born for you in the city of David: he is Christ the Lord.
12 Eno sen suh erah jatthuk han: sen ih noodek esiit nyuh ih khoon ano maan tokkhuung nah jupthiin arah tup an.”
And this will be a sign for you: you will find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
13 Baphuk ih heh damdi rangsah loong hantek ih rang nawa dong taha, eno boongkaat lam ih Rangte rangphoong rumta:
And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the celestial army, praising God and saying,
14 “Rangte chaan ah echoong thoon rangmong ni phaakjaaja, erah dam ih hah nah semroongroong ang thuk ah heh thunghaanla loong asuh ah!”
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.”
15 Rangsah loong ah neng re nawa rang ni ngaakwangta adi, saapriimte loong ah neng chamchi ni waan rumta, “Betlehem nah kah ih no, erah ni tumjih angla Teesu ih baat tahe loong ah sokkah ih.”
And it happened that, when the Angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us cross over to Bethlehem and see this word, which has happened, which the Lord has revealed to us.”
16 Eno neng ah echaan ih Meeri nyia Josep reeni karum ano noodek ah maan tokkhuung ni jupthiin arah japtup karumta.
And they went quickly. And they found Mary and Joseph; and the infant was lying in a manger.
17 Saapriimte loong ah ih heh ah sok rum ano, Rangsah ih noodek tiit tumjih baatta loong ah neng suh we toombaat rumta.
Then, upon seeing this, they understood the word that had been spoken to them about this boy.
18 Saapriimte loong ih baatta rah japchaatte loong ah paatja ih rumta.
And all who heard it were amazed by this, and by those things which were told to them by the shepherds.
19 Meeri ih erah loong tiit ah dokthun ano rapne ih samthunta.
But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
20 Saapriimte loong ah ngaakwang rum ano, neng ih tup rumta nyia chaat rumta loong asuh boongkaat damdi neng Rangte ah phoongpha rumta; erah ah rangsah ih mamet baat rumta jun ih angta.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told to them.
21 Saasinet lini noodek ah heh khoopkhan banlam hoontok thok kohaano, heh ah Jisu et men rumta, marah rangsah ih heh nuh mong ni maangje tokdi dook ban menta men rah ah.
And after eight days were ended, so that the boy would be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, just as he was called by the Angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Moses Hootthe ih baatta jun ih Meeri nyia Josep, sak saasiit hoon banlam saapoot ah thok ih taha. Eno nyi noodek ah Jerusalem hadaang ni Teesu suh baat kokaat suh huikaat nyuuta,
And after the days of her purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, in order to present him to the Lord,
23 erah langla Teesu Hootthe ni raangthiin cho angta: “Warep ih ephangtup ela phokhothoon noodek ah Teesu suh kottheng.”
just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “For every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,”
24 Erah damdi nyi ih tokparusah enyi adoleh wotuupi enyi, Teesu Hootthe jun ih nyi siik hoon et koh nyuuta.
and in order to offer a sacrifice, according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25 Erah tokdi Jerusalem hadaang ni mih wasiit heh men ah Simoon songtongta. Heh ah wase nyia Rangte ra choote mina angta, eno Ijirel mina loong khopui suh heh ih Rangte ah ban sok ruh eta. Esa Chiiala ah heh damdi angta
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and God-fearing, awaiting the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was with him.
26 erah dam ih heh suh Teesu ih thoomhoon cho Kristo ah maang tuptup an tatiiko ih kakhamta.
And he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit: that he would not see his own death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
27 Chiiala ah ih siit ano Simoon ah rangsoomnok ni wangta. Heh jaatang ih khobaang Jisu ah rangsoomnok ni Hootthe ih jamha jun ih piijah nyuuha di,
And he went with the Spirit to the temple. And when the child Jesus was brought in by his parents, in order to act on his behalf according to the custom of the law,
28 Simoon ih noodek ah heh lakkhoni toonpi ano Rangte suh lakookmi liita:
he also took him up, into his arms, and he blessed God and said:
29 “Teesu, an ih thoomhoon jengdang ah thiincho, eno an laksuh ah semroongroong et kaat thuk uh.
“Now you may dismiss your servant in peace, O Lord, according to your word.
30 Nga mikmik ih an jiin dowa khopiiroidong ah tup ih hang,
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 marah an ih loongtang pandi hoon thiin tu rah ah:
which you have prepared before the face of all peoples:
32 Jehudi lah angte loong suh an tenthun ah jathuk suh weephaak ah phaak ah no an mina Ijirel loong tenroon ih phaakjaaja ang rum ah.”
the light of revelation to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Simoon ih Jisu tiit baatta ah chaat nyu ano heh nuh nyi wah ah paatja ih nyuuta.
And his father and mother were wondering over these things, which were spoken about him.
34 Simoon ih nyi suh romseetam koh nyuuta no heh nuh Meeri, suh baatta, “Arah noodek ah Rangte ih danje cho Ijirel loong thet haat nyia khopiipang raangtaan ih ah. Heh ah Rangte mikthe ang ano warep mina ih heh thetbaatte totoh ang ah
And Simeon blessed them, and he said to his mother Mary: “Behold, this one has been set for the ruin and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and as a sign which will be contradicted.
35 erah thoi ih neng husah tenthun loong ah dongjat ah. Eno an ten ah langtheh ih dook arah likhiik, sattiiti ih sat uh.”
And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
36 Teewadi khonuh wikuh, thaknuh heh men ah Anna, Ashir nok hate Phanual sah angta. Heh sawah suh nookta dowa ih paang sinet ba angta eno heh miwah ah tiita. Heh paang rook asat paang baji angta. Heh ih Rangteenok ah babah uh tathiin haatta; rangwuung rangphe heh Rangte rangsoom, nyi samurangsoom ih tongta.
And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years, and she had lived with her husband for seven years from her virginity.
And then she was a widow, even to her eighty-fourth year. And without departing from the temple, she was a servant to fasting and prayer, night and day.
38 Erah pootdi Anna thok haano Rangte suh jengseeraata. Eno Jerusalem ah Rangte ih piipang et ah ih bansokte loong asuh noodek tiit ah baatta.
And entering at the same hour, she confessed to the Lord. And she spoke about him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Israel.
39 Josep nyia Meeri ih Teesu Hootthe ih jamta loong ah jen khom hoon thiin nyu ano, nyi hah Galili ni Najaret hadaang adi ngaak wang nyuuta.
And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth.
40 Noodek ah rongkopkop ih hakta; mongtham ese ah heh jiinni hantek angta, eno Rangte ih heh suh romseetam kota.
Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him.
41 Paang rookwih Jisu jaatang ah Khopui Kuwaang di Jerusalem ni bankah ruh kah ih rumta.
And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the time of the solemnity of Passover.
42 Jisu asih paang nyi ih hak adi, neng erah kuh adi paang hoh dowa likhiik ih karumta.
And when he had become twelve years old, they ascended to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast day.
43 Kuh ah thoon kano neng ah ngaak wang ih rumta, enoothong noodek Jisu ah Jerusalem ni tangtongta. Erah ah heh jaatang ih tajat rumta;
And having completed the days, when they returned, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents did not realize this.
44 neng ih thunta heh ah sengdung ni eje heh angla eah, rah thoi neng henih nitang mokkhoom rumta eno Rekamdi neng joonte sano dung ni phang jam sok rumta.
But, supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey, seeking him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 Neng ih Heh ah tajap jam rumta, erah thoih ih neng Jerusalem ni ngaakwang rum ano eni jam sokwang rumta.
And not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Saajom di neng ih heh ah Rangteenok ni japtup rumta, Jehudi nok hate nyootte loong damdi, neng jeng boichaat nyia neng suh chengphi damdi tong arah ah.
And it happened that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, listening to them and questioning them.
47 Warep ih heh tiit chaatte loong ah epaatja ih rumta heh ih jatwah jenglam ih ngaakbaat rum kano ah.
But all who listened to him were astonished over his prudence and his responses.
48 Heh nuh nyi wah ah doonmoot ih rumta heh ah tup rum ano ah, eno heh nuh ih liita, “Nga sah, an ih tumjih hoon wan halu? “Sek ah anwah ah rapne ih sootsaam thuk haliitih, an ah noongrep ni taat tum jam sok hiitih.”
And upon seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: “Son, why have you acted this way toward us? Behold, your father and I were seeking you in sorrow.”
49 Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Ngah set ih tumet suh jam sok hali tih? Set ih tanih jattansih ngah seng wah nok ni eah?”
And he said to them: “How is it that you were seeking me? For did you not know that it is necessary for me to be in these things which are of my Father?”
50 Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta ah neng ih tajen samjat rumta.
And they did not understand the word that he spoke to them.
51 Eno Jisu ah neng damdi Najaret ni roong ngaakwangta, heh nuh nyi heh wah jeng chaatchaat ah. Erah di mamah angta erah loong ah heh nuh ih heh tenni lomthun ruh eta.
And he descended with them and went to Nazareth. And he was subordinate to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
52 Jisu ah hansi nyia ese mongtham ni choocho ih hakta, mina nyi Rangte uh heko ih roopta.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and in age, and in grace, with God and men.
