Luke 2
1 Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
In pacl sac Tokosra Fulat Augustus el sapkin sie oaoa lulap in orek in acn nukewa ma oan ye nununku lun acn Rome.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Quirinius pa governor lun acn Syria ke oaoa se emeet inge srola.
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
Ouinge mwet nukewa elos som, kais sie nu in acn sel sifacna, in simla inel we.
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,
Joseph el som liki siti srisrik Nazareth in acn Galilee nu in siti srisrik Bethlehem in acn Judea, acn ma Tokosra David el isusla we. Joseph el tuh som nu we mweyen el ma in sruf lal David.
5 to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
Ke sripen el akoo in payukyak sel Mary, oru eltal tukeni som in tuh simla inelos. Mary el pitutu,
6 While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
ac ke eltal muta Bethlehem, sun pacl in isus lal.
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.
El oswela wounse mukul natul, nokmulla ke ipin nuknuk, ac fililya in nien mongo lun kosro — mweyen wangin acn elos in muta we ke lohm in mongla lun mwet fahsr.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Oasr kutu mwet shepherd in acn sac, su muta inima uh ke fong sac in karingin un sheep natulos.
9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Sie lipufan lun Leum sikyang nu selos, ac wolana lun Leum kalmelik ac tololosyak. Elos arulana sangengla kac.
10 The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
Tuh lipufan sac fahk nu selos, “Nimet sangeng! Nga us pweng wo nu suwos, su ac fah arulana akenganye mwet nukewa.
11 For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Tuh isusla nu suwos misenge in siti sel David, sie Mwet Lango, su Leum Christ!
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
Pa inge mwe akpwaye nu suwos uh: kowos ac fah konauk tulik fusr se pipla ke ipin nuknuk, ac oan in nien mongo lun kosro.”
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
In kitin pacl ah na, oasr sie u lulap ke lipufan inkusrao sikyang wi lipufan sac; elos on ac kaksakin God:
14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
“Wolana nu sin God in fulatlana, Ac misla fin faclu nu sin mwet su El insewowo kaclos!”
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.”
Ke lipufan uh som lukelos nu inkusrao, mwet shepherd elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Kut som nu Bethlehem ac liye ma se sikyak inge, su God El fahkak nu sesr kac.”
16 They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
Ouinge elos sulaklak som ac konalak Mary ac Joseph, ac liye tulik fusr sac oan in nien mongo lun kosro.
17 When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Ke mwet shepherd uh liyal, elos srumun kas ma lipufan sac fahk nu selos ke tulik sac.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Mwet nukewa ma lohng ah elos arulana fwefela ke kas lun mwet shepherd ah.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
A Mary el esam ma inge nukewa, ac el arulana nunku yohk kac.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
Mwet shepherd elos folokla, ac yuk on in kaksakin God ke ma nukewa elos lohng ac liye. Ma nukewa sikyak oana ke lipufan sac fahk nu selos ah.
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.
Tukun len oalkosr, ke sun pacl fal nu sin tulik sac in kosreyukla, itukyang inel Jesus — ine se ma lipufan sac tuh sang nu sel meet liki tulik sac srimetak insien nina kial ah.
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
Sun pacl fal in oru alu in aknasnas, oana ma simla in Ma Sap lal Moses. Ke ma inge Joseph ac Mary eltal usla tulik sac nu Jerusalem in eisalang nu sin Leum God,
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
oana ke simla in Ma Sap lun Leum God, fahk mu: “Wounse mukul nukewa enenu in kisakinyukyang nu sin Leum God.”
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.”
Eltal oayapa som in tuh kisakin luo wuleoa ku luo wule fusr, oana ke oakwuk lun Ma Sap lun Leum God.
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.
In pacl sac oasr mukul se muta in Jerusalem pangpang Simeon. El sie mwet suwoswos su arulana akfulatye God in moul lal, ac el soano moliyukla lun Israel. Ngun Mutal welul,
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.
ac akkalemyeang nu sel mu el ac fah tiana misa nwe ke na el liye Messiah, su Leum God El wulela kac.
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,
Ngun Mutal el kololla Simeon nu in Tempul. Ke papa ac nina kien tulik Jesus usalak nu in Tempul in oru oana ma oakwuk lun Ma Sap,
28 then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
Simeon el eis tulik sac, kafsalak inpaol, ac kaksakin God ac fahk:
29 “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
“Leum God, wulela lom akpwayeyuk. Inge kom ku in fuhlela mwet kulansap lom in som in misla.
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
Ke mutuk sifacna nga liye tari molela lom,
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
Su kom akoela ye mutun mwet in mutanfacl nukewa:
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
Sie kalem in fahkak ma lungse lom nu sin mwet pegan, Ac in ase wolana lom nu sin mwet lom, mwet Israel.”
33 Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
Papa ac nina kien tulik sac arulana lut ke ma Simeon el fahk kacl.
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.
Simeon el akinsewowoyaltal ac fahk nu sel Mary, nina kial, “Tulik se inge solla sin God nu ke musalla ac musaiyukyak lun mwet puspis in Israel. El ac fah sie akul sin God me, su mwet puspis ac fah kaskas lainul,
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
ac ma inge ac fah fahkak nunak lukma su oan in elos. Ac kom ac fah arulana asor, oana ke sie cutlass kosroh fakisya in ngunum.”
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,
In pacl sac tuh oasr pac mutan palu se, inel pa Anna, acn natul Phanuel sin sruf lal Asher. El arulana matuoh. El tuh payuk ke el mutan fusr ac muta yurin mukul tumal ah yac itkosr,
37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
na el katinmasla, ac mukena muta nwe ke el sun yac oalngoul akosr. El tiana illa liki Tempul, a el mutana we in alu, lalo ac pre ke len ac fong.
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.
In pacl sacna el kalukyang nu yoroltal ac sang kulo nu sin God, na el kaskas ke tulik sac nu sin mwet nukewa su tupan molela lun God nu sin Jerusalem.
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.
Ke Joseph ac Mary eltal akfalyela ma nukewa ma oakwuki ke Ma Sap lun Leum God, na eltal folokla nu Galilee, nu in acn seltal Nazareth.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Tulik sac kapak ac kui ac el sesseslana ke lalmwetmet, ac lungkulang lun God oan facl.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
In yac nukewa, papa ac nina kial Jesus eltal ac som nu Jerusalem in wi Kufwen Alukela.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
Ke Jesus el sun yac singoul luo matwal, eltal som pac nu ke kufwa uh oapana pacl nukewa.
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,
Ke safla kufwa uh, eltal mutawauk in folok nu yen seltal, tusruk Jesus el mutana Jerusalem tia welultal. Papa ac nina kial tiana etu lah ouinge.
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.
Eltal nunku mu el oasr na inmasrlon un mwet uh, oru eltal fahsr len fon se, na eltal fah mutawauk in sokol inmasrlon sou ac mwet kawuk lalos.
45 When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
Eltal tiana konalak, na eltal sifil folokla nwe Jerusalem in sokol.
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.
Ke len se aktolu, eltal konalak in Tempul uh. El muta inmasrlon mwet luti in lohngolos ac kusen siyuk selos.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Mwet nukewa su lohngol elos arulana fwefela ke top lalmwetmet lal.
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.”
Papa ac nina kial eltal arulana lut ke eltal liyalak, ac nina kial el fahk nu sel, “Wen, efu kom ku oru ouinge nu sesr? Nga ac papa tomom ah arulana fosrngala ke sukyom.”
49 He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
Ac el topuk ac fahk, “Efu ku komtal sukyu? Ya komtal tia etu tuh fal nga in muta in lohm sin Papa tumuk?”
50 They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Tusruktu eltal tiana kalem ke top lal ah.
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.
Na Jesus el welultal folokla nu Nazareth, yen ma el aksoltal we. Nina kial el esam ma inge nukewa ac filiya in oanna in nunak lal.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Ac Jesus el kapkapak in lalmwetmet ac in lumahl, ac el arulana ohi yurin God ac yurin mwet uh.
