Luke 2
1 It was the time when Caesar Augustus issued a decree that there should be a census of everyone in the Roman Empire.
Nau hethauwuu hena hese hauchuwude haeneāsanau hehethee Caesar Augustus henee vahee henanedanede hadnayāadee.
2 This was the first census under governor Quirinius of Syria.
(Nau nuu nayāadede haenedauwunesede deauchuwunanenede Cyrenius Syria.)
3 So everybody went to their own city to be registered.
Nau vahee haeauāchaudene hadnayāadee haunauude hanesāde hesee nehayau hededan.
4 Joseph was descended from King David, so he left Nazareth in Galilee to go to Bethlehem, the city of David, in Judea.
Nau Joseph jea haeyehau hehethee Gananee, hehethee hedan Nazareth, jedauwuu Judea, jedauwuu hededan David Bethlehem neseee, (hanau naadahagu hedauauwunene nau nedānee David, )
5 He went to register there, together with Mary, who was pledged in marriage to him and expecting a baby.
Hadnethenayāade naguu Mareheau heauthehewauthādaune hadnewaune wauwu haeehāthane heee henesaune.
6 While they were there, the time came for her to have her baby.
Nau hethauwuu, henee hajesenausunanedauthee, hese haevadauaunau hadneejanesāde.
7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him up in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger because the inn had no rooms left.
Nau hanaāejanesāde henedauwusaune heau, nau haeajetha, nau haeesevana hewauchuhauchave nedau vethehenethe; hanau haeneau vethehedaunauauwuu.
8 Nearby some shepherds were spending the night out in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks.
Nau hena vavade vedauauwuu haudānajauāhehauau haeaudenauau, haeaunaunehanauau haeaunauyauhauvanauau hedajauanenau vegau.
9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone all around them. They were scared out of their wits!
Nau, wauhā, Vahadāde hedautheaune haeedasā, nau havathee haeseenauasāaunauau Vahadānith; nau haevasenāthajaunauau.
10 “Don't be afraid!” the angel told them. “I'm here to bring you good news that will make the all the people really glad.
Nau hautheaun jevanāthajauau hathāhaugaunee: hanau, naune, nauuchaudaunathana hethadee waunauyauau havathee neethajaude, nanaa heee vahee henanedanede.
11 The Savior has been born to you today, here in David's city. He is the Messiah, the Lord.
Heee nananena janesee nuu desenee hededan David Henayauthāhe, nananede Chris Vahadāde.
12 You will recognize him by this sign: you will find the child wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
Nau nuu hadneaenauwuna; Nananena hadveehauna dāeyaunaa hanajehede, saesee hewauchuhauchave nedauvethehethee.
13 Suddenly many heavenly beings appeared, praising God, saying,
Nau nauhauhaunee hena haewauthanauau hejavaa hautheaunauau nauguu naa hautheau haevaveenethedaunanauau Hejavaneauthu, nau hasenehehaugaunee,
14 “Glory to the God of heaven, and on earth peace to those with whom he is pleased!”
Havathee hauwaunede hesee Hejavaneauthau hejavaa, nau dasee vedauauwuu nanethauaunee, hethadee hathanavana henanedanede.
15 After the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go to Bethlehem and see what's happened concerning these things the Lord has told us about.”
Nau hethauwuu, hautheaunauau haejaenauthā hesee hejavaa, Wauhā hadeehaunau Bethlehem, hanathadagaunee nuu haudānajauāhehauau, nau nauhaudauwuu nuu hayewhu javeauau, nanaa Vahadāde hāāedauwunādaunene.
16 They hurried there and found Mary, Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
Nau haenauchuhanauusanauau, nau haeveehanauau Mare nau Joseph, nau dāeyaunauau haesaeseene hewauchuhauchauwauauwuu henee nedauvethehenethe hewauchuhauchāve.
17 After they'd seen for themselves, they spread the news of what had happened and what they had been told about this baby.
Nau hāenauhauwauthee, haeneānauthedanauau nuu hathauthedaunāhethee heee dāeyaunauau.
18 All those who heard about it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.
Nau vahee hathāenedauvade haegaugauanadauwu henee hayauhuhau nuu hathauthedaunāthee haudānajauāhehau.
19 But Mary was careful to remember all the things that had happened and often thought about them.
Nau Mare haeaunaunede vahee nuu hayauhuhau, nau haegaugauanade hedahaa.
20 The shepherds went back to watching their flocks, glorifying and thanking God for all that they'd heard and seen, for it was just as they'd been told.
Nau haudānajauāhehauau haejaesanauau, haevaveenethedaunanauau nau haevaveenethedaunanauau Hejavaneauthu heee vahee hanathadauvathee nau hathauhauthāthee, neethāedauwunāhethee.
21 After eight days, the time came for the baby to be circumcised, and he was named Jesus. This was the name given to him by the angel before he had even been conceived.
Nau hāenasaudauchunesee hadneegauguusede dāeyaunaa heneseede Jesus, haseadagu nuu haseede haenaneeseāde hautheaunau haunauau deejethāsee.
22 When the time of their purification according to the law of Moses was finished, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
Nau hesee hāewaudeauchaude hasaunee hedauchuwude Moses hāevadauaunee, haeyehauthanauau hesee Dadaunedan hadjenanauwunauthee Vahadāhenith;
23 as the law of the Lord states, “Every firstborn son must be dedicated to the Lord.”
(Hathauthaunauhunee hauchuwudaunaa Vahadāde, Dajee haunauahee henee nedauwusau vadade hadnethade hesee Vahadāhenith: )
24 There they made a sacrifice, as God's law also states, of “a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons.”
Nau hadnausāyaudenee neesenehedaunee hauchuwudaunaa Vahadāde, Hanesethee vedāenauau, wauāthe hanesethee neauthuvedāesaunauau.
25 Living in Jerusalem at that time was a man called Simeon. Simeon did what was good and was very devout. He was waiting expectantly for the hope of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Nau, naune, hena henane haeanedau Dādaunedan, Simeon haenaneeseede; nau naa henane haechuvā nau haeethauwuthajau, haeejauwuwude hadneneethajauthee Israel: nau Vadanauwauthauwu haethāsade.
26 The Holy Spirit had shown him that he would not die before he saw the Lord's Messiah.
Nau haeeauthedaunaa Vadanauwauthauwu, henee hadjenauhaudauau gaujauaudahede, haunaude hadnauhauwaude Vahadāhenith Chris.
27 Following the Spirit's leading, he went to the Temple. When Jesus' parents brought in the little boy to be dedicated as required by the Law,
Nau haejeheenauusa Vadanauwauthauwu jedauwuu Vadannauauwuu: nau hāene henehā Hejavaeneauthusau jedanāde hadnesehāde thauguu hasauau hauchuwude,
28 Simeon took Jesus in his arms, thanked God, and said,
Hanaāejavethenauanaude hejadenaa, nau haevaveenethedauna Hejavaneauthu nau hanaāenehede,
29 “Lord and Master, now you can let your servant die in peace as you promised,
Vahadāhene, hewaunehaa nanehāejenanaude hauwauwaunave hadnaudauau nanethauaunee, hasauau hadanadede:

32 He is a light that will show you to the nations, the glory of your people Israel.”
Hesee hadneesenee Hathāauau henanedanede, nau havathee hadnanedanede Israel.
33 Jesus' father and mother were shocked at what Simeon said about him.
Nau Joseph nau henaune haegaugauanadauwu hena hayauhuhau hanasenehethavathe.
34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Jesus' mother Mary, “This child is destined to cause many in Israel to fall and many to rise. He is a sign from God that many will reject,
Nau Simeon haevevethasa, nau haeāedauwuna Mareheau henaune, Naune, Naa dāeyaunaa haneejenanade hadneaunenauaudenenee nau hadneejaegauhadenenee hauwauhuu Israel; nau hanau nauhauthethau hadnevathevade;
35 revealing what they really think. For you it will feel like a sword piercing right though you.”
(Haa, gaugauchu hadneegauchuguhune nehayau havadathuvaa jea; ) henee gaugauuthajaudenau hauwauhuu vadauhau hadneauthasuu.
36 Anna the prophetess also lived in Jerusalem. She was the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher, and she was very old. She had been married for seven years,
Nau hena haenesā Anna, haeyāhe, hedaunau Phanuel, hanaadāde Aser: haewauthanenau hejajenewau, nau haenethenaedeva hechu nesaudauchu jajene hehethee neeesede;
37 and then she had been widowed. She was eighty-four years old. She spent her time at the Temple in worship, fasting and praying.
Nau haeenevesāne heee nasaudausauau yānenee jajene, nananede haeejethauunaude vadannauauwuu, hau haenesedauna Hejavaeneauthu nauguu naugauyaude nau vevethahede dajāee nau hesee.
38 She came up to them right at that moment, and began praising God. She spoke about Jesus to all those who were looking forward to the time when God would set Jerusalem free.
Nau haejejedā heee haevaveene jea Vahadāhenith, nau haeheauthedauna vahee nethāejauwuwudethee jauaudaunauthadede jedauwuu Dādaunedan.
39 Once they had completed everything God's law required, they returned to their home town of Nazareth in Galilee.
Nau hāesedauthee vahee hayauhuhau hasauau hauchuwude Vahadāde, haejaesanauau hesee Gananee, hadahethee hedan Nazareth.
40 The child grew strong, and was very wise. God's blessing was with him.
Nau dāeyaunaa haeeseau, nau haedāeaune hevadathuwu, haeechauchaunaude haeyaude: nau Hejavaneauthu vadaude haethāsade.
41 Jesus' parents traveled to Jerusalem every year for the Passover festival.
Nau wauhā henehā haeehaunenau hesee Dādaunedan hadauchuvejanenee vasevadanesee Hadavechauthadede.
42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they went to the festival as they always did.
Nau denesenenee hejajenewau, haeehaunauau hesee Dādaunedan hanau nesedaudenee vasevadanesee.
43 When the festival had finished and it was time to return home, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem, but his parents didn't realize this.
Nau hese hāevadauaunee, hāejāesathee, dāeyaunaa Hejavaneauthusau haenasedauusa Dādaunedan; nau Joseph nau henaune haejaenauwu.
44 They assumed he was with all the others traveling home. A day passed before they started looking for him among their friends and relatives.
Hau henanedaa haenehauvā hathanauwauhaugaunee, nau haejanaugudaunee; hanaāenaudehauthee henedauānene nau henedaehāhene.
45 When they couldn't find him they returned to Jerusalem to look for him there.
Nau hāejeveehauthee, haejaesanauau hesee Dādaunedan, daunaudehauthee.
46 It was three days before they found him in the Temple. He was sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
Nau hethauwuu hāenasese hanaāeveehauthee jedauwuu vadannauauwuu, haetheaugune nahethāe hauthedahehau, haejaatheha, nau haenaunaudedauna.
47 All who heard him speak were surprised by his understanding and his answers.
Nau vahee hathāenedauwauthāthee haegaugauanadauwu hedaeyaunene nau hedauchuhanehedaunene.
48 His parents were totally confused when they saw what he was doing. His mother asked him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I—we've been worried sick! We've been looking everywhere for you!”
Nau hāenauhauwauthee, haegaugauanavanauau: nau henaune, Nā, naudu hanesehāane? hathāhuk, naune hāsaunau nau nananenau nenaudehane nejeneethajaunee.
49 “Why is it that you were looking for me?” Jesus replied. “Didn't you know I should be here in my Father's house?”
Nau hathauhuk, naudu haenaudehena? gauhajaene nauchāe wauwu hanedaudauwau Nāsaunau henesethaude?
50 But they didn't understand what he meant.
Nau haejaenauwu hasenehethāthee.
51 Then he went back with them to Nazareth, and did what he was told. His mother kept a careful note of everything that happened.
Nau hanaāenethaunaude, nau haenauusanauau Nazareth, nau haeethauwaudaunā: hau henaune haeaunaunedene vahee nuu nehedaunau hedahaa.
52 Jesus grew steadily wiser and stronger, favored both by God and by the people.
Nau Hejavaneathusau haeneenaneaune hedaeyau nau hajedāde nau vechauthaude Hejavaneauthu nau henanedanede.
