Luke 2
1 Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
Pea pehē, naʻe fai ʻae fono ʻe Sisa ʻAokositusi, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ke tohi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe puleʻanga.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
(Pea naʻe fuofua fai ʻae tohi ni ʻi he pule ʻa Kilinio ʻi Silia.)
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
Pea naʻe taki taha ʻalu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki hono potu, ke tohi ai ia.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
Pea ʻalu hake foki ʻa Siosefa mei Kāleli, mei he kolo ko Nāsaleti, ki Siutea, ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻoku ui ko Petelihema; (he naʻa ne ʻoe fale mo e faʻahinga ʻo Tevita; )
5 to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
Ke tohi ia mo hono uaifi ko Mele, naʻe fakanofo, kuo feitama ia.
6 While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻena ʻi ai, pea pehē, kuo kakato hono ngaahi ʻaho ke fāʻele ai ia.
7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Pea fāʻeleʻi ʻe ia ʻae tama ko hono ʻolopoʻou, pea ne takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae kofu, ʻo fakatokoto ia ʻi he ʻaiʻanga kai ʻoe manu; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau hao ʻi he fale talifononga.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Pea naʻe ʻi he fonua ko ia ʻae kau tauhi sipi ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngoue, ʻo leʻohi ʻenau fanga sipi ʻi he poʻuli.
9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Pea ʻiloange, naʻe tuʻu mai kiate kinautolu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki, pea malama ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻEiki ʻo takatakai ʻakinautolu: pea naʻa nau manavahē ʻaupito.
10 The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua ʻe manavahē: vakai, he ʻoku ou ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe fiefia lahi, ʻaia ʻe hoko ki he kakai fulipē.
11 For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
He kuo ʻaloʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ni, ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻae Fakamoʻui, ʻaia ko Kalaisi ko e ʻEiki.
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
Pea ko e fakaʻilonga eni kiate kimoutolu; te mou ʻilo ʻae tamasiʻi kuo takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae kofu, pea tokoto ia ʻi he ʻaiʻanga kai ʻoe manu.”
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
Pea fakafokifā pe kuo ʻi he ʻāngelo ʻae tokolahi ʻoe kau ʻāngelo mei he langi, ʻonau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
“Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻi ʻolunga, Pea ʻi māmani ʻae melino, ko e ʻofa ki he kakai.”
15 When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Pea pehē, ʻi he liliu ange ʻae kau ʻāngelo ki he langi meiate kinautolu, naʻe fepehēʻaki ʻe he kau tauhi sipi, “Ke tau ō eni ki Petelihema, ʻo mamata ki he meʻa ni kuo fai, ʻaia kuo fakahā mai ʻe he ʻEiki kiate kitautolu.”
16 They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Pea naʻa nau omi fakavave, ʻo ʻilo ʻa Mele, mo Siosefa, mo e tama ʻoku tokoto ʻi he ʻaiʻanga kai ʻoe manu.
17 When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Pea kuo nau mamata, pea nau ongoongoa ʻae lea naʻe fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻi he tama ni.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Pea ofo ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau tauhi sipi kiate kinautolu.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Ka naʻe faʻoa ʻe Mele ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ki hono loto, ʻo fifili ki ai.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae kau tauhi sipi, ʻo fakamālō mo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo nau fanongo mo mamata ai, ʻo hangē ko ia ne fakahā kiate kinautolu.
21 When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Pea ʻi heʻene kakato ʻae ʻaho ʻe valu naʻe kamu ʻae tama, pea ui hono huafa ko Sisu, ʻaia naʻe fakahingoa ʻe he ʻāngelo kae teʻeki tuituʻia ia ʻi he manāva.
22 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
Pea kuo hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻena fakamaʻa, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻa Mōsese, naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema ke ʻatu [ia ]ki he ʻEiki;
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
(ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻae ʻEiki, “Ko e tama kotoa pe, ʻae ʻolopoʻou, ʻe ui ia ko e tapu ki he ʻEiki;”)
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.”
Pea ke ʻatu ʻae feilaulau, ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻoku fakahā mai ʻi he fono ʻae ʻEiki, “Ko e ongo kulukulu, pe ko e lupe mui ʻe ua.”
25 Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi Selūsalema ʻae tangata, ko Simione hono hingoa; pea naʻe angatonu ʻae tangata ko ia mo faʻa lotu, mo tatali ki he fiemālieʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Pea naʻe fakahā mai kiate ia ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻikai mate ia, kaeʻoua ke ne mamata ki he Kalaisi ʻae ʻEiki.
27 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
Pea haʻu ia ʻi he Laumālie ki he falelotu tatau ki hono anga ʻoe fono,
28 then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
Naʻa ne toki toʻo hake ia ʻi hono nima, pea fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻo ne pehē,
29 “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
“ʻE ʻEiki, ko eni, ʻoku ke tukuange ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke fononga ʻi he fiemālie, ʻO hangē ko hoʻo folofola:
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
He kuo mamata ʻa hoku mata ki hoʻo fakamoʻui,
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
ʻAia kuo ke teuteu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē;
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
Ko e maama ke fakamaamaʻaki ʻae Senitaile, Mo e nāunau ʻo hoʻo kakai ko ʻIsileli.”
33 Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
Pea ofo ʻa Siosefa mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe fakahā ʻiate ia.
34 Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
Pea tāpuakiʻi ʻe Simione ʻakinaua, ʻo ne pehē ki heʻene faʻē ko Mele, “Vakai, kuo fokotuʻu ʻae tamasiʻi ni ko e tūkiaʻanga mo e toetuʻuʻanga ʻoe tokolahi ʻi ʻIsileli pea ko e fakaʻilonga ke lea kovi [ki ai];
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
koeʻuhi ke hā ai ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻoe loto ʻoe tokolahi: (ʻio, ʻe tui pea ʻasi ʻae heletā ʻi ho laumālie foki.”)
36 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,
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fefine palōfita ko ʻAna, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Fanueli, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻAsa: naʻe lahi hono motuʻa, pea naʻa na nonofo mo [hono ]husepāniti ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu talu ʻene tāupoʻou;
37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
ka ka nofo ai pe ia ko e fefine ia kuo mate hono husepāniti, pea kuo valungofulu ma fā ʻae taʻu [ʻo ʻene motuʻa], pea ne ʻikai mahuʻi ia mei he falelotu lahi, ka naʻa ne ngāue ʻi he ʻaukai mo e faʻa lotu he pō mo e ʻaho.
38 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻo feʻunga mo ia, naʻa ne ʻatu foki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEiki, ʻo ne fakahā ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tatali ki he huhuʻi ʻi Selūsalema.
39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
Pea hili ʻena fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻae ʻEiki, naʻa nau foki mai ki Kāleli, ki hona kolo ko Nāsaleti.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Pea tupu ʻae tamasiʻi, pea mālohi ʻi he laumālie, pea fonu ia ʻi he poto: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻene mātuʻa ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē ki Selūsalema, ki he kātoanga [ʻoe Lakaatu].
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
Pea kuo hongofulu ma ua hono taʻu, pea nau ō hake ki Selūsalema, ʻo hangē ko hono anga ʻoe kātoanga.
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know it,
Pea kuo nau fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ka ʻi heʻenau liliu mai, naʻe nofo pe ʻae tama ko Sisu ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe Siosefa mo ʻene faʻē.
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
Ka naʻe mahalo ʻakinaua ʻoku ʻi he fononga ia, pea fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha; pea [toki ]kumi ia ʻi hona kāinga mo e kau fononga.
45 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
Pea ʻi he ʻikai te na ʻilo ia, naʻa na foki atu ki Selūsalema, ko hono kumi.
46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
Pea pehē, kuo hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu, pea na [toki ]ʻilo ia ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻoku nofo ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe kau akonaki, ʻo fakafanongo kiate kinautolu, mo fakafehuʻi kiate kinautolu.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo kiate ia, naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene poto mo ʻene tali ʻae fehuʻi.
48 When they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”
Pea ʻi heʻena mamata kiate ia, ne na ofo ai ʻaupito: pea pehē ʻe heʻene faʻē kiate ia, “Tama, ko e hā kuo ke fai pehē ai kiate kimaua? Vakai, ko hoʻo tamai mo au kuo ma kumi koe ʻi he mamahi.”
49 He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did not you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻoku mo kumi ai au? ʻIkai te mo ʻilo ʻoku ʻaʻaku ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻa ʻeku Tamai?”
50 They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo [hono ʻuhinga ]ʻoe lea ne ne lea ʻaki kiate kinaua.
51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Pea ʻalu hifo ia mo kinaua, ʻo hoko ki Nāsaleti, pea anganofo ia kiate kinaua: ka naʻe faʻo ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē ki hono loto.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Pea tupulaki ʻae poto ʻia Sisu mo e lahi, pea naʻe ʻofeina ia ʻe he ʻOtua mo e tangata.
