Luke 2
1 And it came to passe in those dayes, that there came a decree from Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed.
A khohnin a pha vaengah Kaisar Augustus taengkah oltloek te lunglai pum ah a pat.
2 (This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was gouernour of Syria.)
Te hlangmi soepnah tah Syria Kurenius kah a taem vaengah lamhmacuek la om.
3 Therefore went all to be taxed, euery man to his owne Citie.
Te dongah hlang boeih loh minghlum ham amah kho la rhip cet uh.
4 And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid, )
Te vaengah Joseph khaw Galilee, Nazareth kho lamloh Judea kah Bethlehem la a khue David khopuei la cet. Anih te David imkhui kah nurhui pahrhui la om.
5 To bee taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife, which was with childe.
Minghlum ham vaengah amah ham a bae Mary te pumrhih la om pueng.
6 And so it was, that while they were there, the daies were accomplished that shee shoulde be deliuered,
A om rhoi kuelhuelh ah a caom tue loh a kae.
7 And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne.
Tedae a capa caming omthang te a cun vaengah tah impahnah hmuen a om pawt dongah a yol tih kongduk dongah a soei.
8 And there were in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke.
Te vaengah amah tekah pingpang ah tudawn rhoek om uh. A tuping te khoyin ah thongim la a khoem uh tih a rhaeh thil uh.
9 And loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide.
Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn tah amih taengah a phoe pah. Amih te Boeipa kah thangpomnah loh a tue dongah rhihnah neh bahoeng a rhih uh.
10 Then the Angel saide vnto them, Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to all the people,
Tedae amih te puencawn loh, “Rhih uh boeh, pilnam boeih taengah aka om ham omngaihnah tanglue te nangmih taengah olthangthen kan thui he.
11 That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord.
Tihnin ah nangmih ham khangkung om coeng. Anih tah David khopuei ah Khrih Boeipa la om coeng.
12 And this shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch.
Nangmih ham miknoek pakhat om vetih, cahni te a yol phoeiah kongduk dongah a yalh te na hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
13 And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praising God, and saying,
Te vaengah puencawn te vaan caempuei rhaengpuei loh tarha a om puei tih Pathen te a thangthen uh.
14 Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will.
Te vaengah, “Pathen te a sangkoek ah thangpomnah om saeh, diklai ah rhoepnah neh hlang rhoek soah a kolonah om saeh,” a ti uh.
15 And it came to passe whe the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, that the shepheards sayde one to another, Let vs goe then vnto Beth-leem, and see this thing that is come to passe which the Lord hath shewed vnto vs.
A om van bangla puencawn rhoek tah amih taeng lamloh vaan la cet uh. Tudawn rhoek loh khat neh khat taengah, “Bethlehem la cet pawn sih lamtah olthang aka thoeng he so uh sih. Te tah Boeipa long ni mamih ham a phoe sak,” a ti uh.
16 So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.
Te phoeiah, tatloe la cet uh tih Mary, Joseph neh kongduk dong ah aka yalh cahni te a hmuh uh.
17 And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe.
A hmuh uh vaengah, te camoe kawng neh amih taengah a thui olka te a doek uh.
18 And all that heard it, wondred at ye things which were tolde them of the shepheards.
Amih taengah tudawn rhoek loh a thui te aka ya rhoek boeih tah a ngaihmang uh.
19 But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred them in her heart.
Tedae Mary loh tekah olka te boeih a kuem tih a thinko ah a khing a mong.
20 And the shepheardes returned glorifiyng and praising God, for all that they had heard and seene as it was spoken vnto them.
Tudawn rhoek tah amih taengah a thui pah bangla boeih a hmuh uh. A yaak uh dongah te Pathen a thangpom uh tih a thangthen uh phoeiah bal uh.
21 And when the eight daies were accomplished, that they shoulde circumcise the childe, his name was then called Iesus, which was named of the Angell, before he was conceiued in the wombe.
Hnin rhet cup coeng tih, camoe te yahvin a rhet vaengah tah a ming te Jesuh a sui. Te tah bung khuikah a yom hlanah puencawn kah a sui pah coeng ni.
22 And when the daies of her purification after the Lawe of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lord,
Moses kah olkhueng bangla amih kah imcim khohnin te a pha vaengah Jesuh te Boeipa taengah nawn ham Jerusalem la a khuen rhoi.
23 (As it is written in the Lawe of the Lord, Euery man childe that first openeth ye wombe, shalbe called holy to the Lord)
Boeipa kah olkhueng dongah a daek bangla bung aka va tongpa boeih tah Boeipa ham cimcaih la a khue ni.
24 And to giue an oblation, as it is commanded in the Lawe of the Lord, a paire of turtle doues, or two yong pigeons.
Te dongah Boeipa kah olkhueng dongah, “Vahu phiknit mai khaw, vahui ca panit mai khaw,” a ti bangla hmueih te a paek rhoi.
25 And behold, there was a man in Hierusalem, whose name was Simeon: this man was iust, and feared God, and waited for the consolation of Israel, and the holy Ghost was vpon him.
Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Simeon te Jerusalem ah khoem om. Tekah hlang tah dueng tih cuep. Te dongah Israel kah thaphohnah te a lamtawn tih Mueihla Cim loh anih a om thil.
26 And it was declared to him from God by the holy Ghost, that he shoulde not see death, before he had seene that Anointed of the Lord.
Mueihla Cim loh anih taengah, “Boeipa kah Khrih te a hmuh hlan atah dueknah na hmu mahpawh,” tila a mangthui tangtae te om.
27 And he came by the motion of the spirit into the Temple, and when the parents brought in the babe Iesus, to do for him after the custome of the Lawe,
Simeon te mueihla loh bawkim khuila a pawk puei. Te vaengah camoe Jesuh amah te olkhueng kah khosing la saii ham a manu napa loh a khuen.
28 Then hee tooke him in his armes, and praised God, and sayd,
Te phoeiah Simeon loh a kut dongah a doe tih Pathen te a uem.
29 Lord, nowe lettest thou thy seruaunt depart in peace, according to thy woorde,
Te vaengah, “Boeikung na sal he na olthui bangla ngaimongnah neh nan hlah coeng.
30 For mine eyes haue seene thy saluation,
Namah kah khangnah te ka mik loh a hmuh coeng.
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,
Te ni pilnam tom kah mikhmuh ah na tawn pah.
32 A light to be reueiled to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Vangnah he namtom a pumphoenah la, thangpomnah te na pilnam Israel hamla om coeng,” a ti.
33 And Ioseph and his mother marueiled at those things, which were spoken touching him.
Camoe kawng a thui soah a napa neh a manu tah a ngaihmang rhoi.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and saide vnto Mary his mother, Beholde, this childe is appointed for the fall and rising againe of many in Israel, and for a signe which shalbe spoken against,
Simeon loh amih te yoethen a paek tih a manu Mary taeng ah, “Anih he Israel khuiah a yet kah a bungnah neh thohkoepnah ham neh boekoek miknoek la a khueh coeng he.
35 (Yea and a sworde shall pearce through thy soule) that the thoughts of many heartes may be opened.
Namah neh namah khaw na hinglu thunglang loh n'rhaih ni. Te daengah ni thinko kah poeknah te poeng a pumphoe eh,” a ti nah.
36 And there was a Prophetesse, one Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser, which was of a great age, after she had liued with an husband seuen yeeres from her virginitie:
Te vaengah Asher koca kah Phanuel canu tonghmanu Anna om tih a kum khaw muep patong coeng. Anih he a hula lamloh a va neh kum rhih bueng hing rhoi.
37 And she was widowe about foure score and foure yeeres, and went not out of the Temple, but serued God with fastings and prayers, night and day.
Te phoeiah kum sawmrhet kum li hil nuhmai la om. Anih tah bawkim te hlah tlaih kolla khoyin khothaih yaehnah neh, rhenbihnah neh tho a thueng.
38 She then coming at the same instant vpon them, confessed likewise the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Hierusalem.
Pathen uem tue a pai kuelhuelh vaengah Jerusalem kah tlannah aka lamtawn rhoek boeih ham camoe kawng te a thui pah.
39 And when they had performed all thinges according to the lawe of the Lord, they returned into Galile to their owne citie Nazareth.
Boeipa kah olkhueng bangla boeih a soep vaengah te amah kho Galilee, Nazareth la bal rhoi.
40 And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in Spirit, and was filled with wisedome, and the grace of God was with him.
Camoe tah a rhoeng vaengah rhaang tih cueihnah neh bae. Pathen kah lungvatnah long khaw a om thil.
41 Nowe his parents went to Hierusalem euery yeere, at the feast of the Passeouer.
Kum takuem yoom khotue ah a manu napa te Jerusalem la cet.
42 And when hee was twelue yeere olde, and they were come vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast,
Kum hlainit a lo vaengah khotue kah khosing bangla amih te cet uh.
43 And had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother,
Khohnin te cup tih a bal uh vaengah cadong Jesuh tah Jerusalem ah uelh tih a manu napa loh ming pawh.
44 But they supposing, that he had bene in the company, went a dayes iourney, and sought him among their kinsfolke, and acquaintance.
Jesuh te lambong khuiah om tila a poek uh dae hnin at long caeh phoeiah tah a huiko neh a hmat taengah a tlap rhoi.
45 And when they found him not, they turned backe to Hierusalem, and sought him.
A hmuh rhoi pawt dongah anih tlap ham Jerusalem la mael rhoi.
46 And it came to passe three dayes after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the mids of the doctours, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
A thum khohnin a pha phoeiah Jesuh te bawkim khuikah saya rhoek kah a laklung ah ana ngol, amih taengah a hnatun tih amih ana dawt te a hmuh rhoi.
47 And all that heard him, were astonied at his vnderstanding and answeres.
Anih kah yakmingnah neh ollannah boeih te aka ya rhoek boeih tah limlum uh.
48 So when they sawe him, they were amased, and his mother said vnto him, Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee with very heauie hearts.
Jesuh te a hmuh rhoi vaengah let rhoi tih a manu loh, “Ka capa, balae tih kaimih rhoi tlam he nang khueh? Na pa neh kai loh nang kan toem rhoi tih n'yuek sut coeng he,” a ti nah.
49 Then said he vnto them, Howe is it that ye sought me? knewe ye not that I must goe about my Fathers busines?
Te vaengah amih rhoi te, “Balae kai nan toem rhoi? A pa im ah ka om ham a kuek te na ming rhoi mahnim?” a ti nah.
50 But they vnderstoode not the word that he spake to them.
Tedae amih rhoi taengah a thui pah olka te amih rhoi loh a hmuhming rhoi moenih.
51 Then hee went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Te phoeiah amih rhoi taengah cet tih Nazareth la pawk uh. A taengah boengai la om tih olka te a manu loh a thinko ah boeih a khoem.
52 And Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.
Jesuh tah cueihnah neh pumrho ah rhoeng tih Pathen neh hlang taengah lungvatnah a dang.
