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.
Erah tokdi Luungwanglong Agastas ih Roman noksong loongtang rookweh thuk ano neng men ah le ni raangthiin thuk rumta.
2 This was the first census under governor Quirinius of Syria.
Erah phang raang et thukta tok adi, Siria hate Kobono ah Kurinus angta.
3 So everybody went to their own city to be registered.
Eno, warep ih neng teewah men ah, maama hah ni raangwan rumta.
4 Joseph was descended from King David, so he left Nazareth in Galilee to go to Bethlehem, the city of David, in Judea.
Josep ah Galili hah Najeret nawa, Dewid luungwang tup hadaang Judia hah Betlehem ni kata. Tumeah Josep ah Dewid sutoom angta.
5 He went to register there, together with Mary, who was pledged in marriage to him and expecting a baby.
Josep ih Meeri heh suh nook raang ih kakhatta damdi, heh men ah wak raang wanta. Heh ah sakjih angta,
6 While they were there, the time came for her to have her baby.
eno neng Betlehem ni ang tokdi, nootup rangwuung ah thok taha.
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.
Heh sah phangkhoh rah miwasah eh tupta, eno nyuh rah ih khoon ano maan tokkhuung ni jupthiinta naangjam nok laje thoi eah.
8 Nearby some shepherds were spending the night out in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks.
Erah deek adi mararah saapriimte loong rangphe pheetang ih phek ni, neng saapsah loong ban sok rumta.
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!
Rangsah rah neng reeni dongchapta, eno Teesu chaan ah neng khothung ni phaakta. Eno neng ah rapne ih cho rumta,
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.
enoothong Rangsah rah ih liirumta, “Nakcho an! Ngah aradi sen suh Ruurang Ese huijah halang, erah ih mina loongtang suh rapne tenroon thuk ah.
11 The Savior has been born to you today, here in David's city. He is the Messiah, the Lord.
Chiinyah Dewid hadaang ni sen pangte tupta—Teesu Kristo ah!
12 You will recognize him by this sign: you will find the child wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
Eno sen suh erah jatthuk han: sen ih noodek esiit nyuh ih khoon ano maan tokkhuung nah jupthiin arah tup an.”
13 Suddenly many heavenly beings appeared, praising God, saying,
Baphuk ih heh damdi rangsah loong hantek ih rang nawa dong taha, eno boongkaat lam ih Rangte rangphoong rumta:
14 “Glory to the God of heaven, and on earth peace to those with whom he is pleased!”
“Rangte chaan ah echoong thoon rangmong ni phaakjaaja, erah dam ih hah nah semroongroong ang thuk ah heh thunghaanla loong asuh ah!”
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.”
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.”
16 They hurried there and found Mary, Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
Eno neng ah echaan ih Meeri nyia Josep reeni karum ano noodek ah maan tokkhuung ni jupthiin arah japtup karumta.
17 After they'd seen for themselves, they spread the news of what had happened and what they had been told about this baby.
Saapriimte loong ah ih heh ah sok rum ano, Rangsah ih noodek tiit tumjih baatta loong ah neng suh we toombaat rumta.
18 All those who heard about it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.
Saapriimte loong ih baatta rah japchaatte loong ah paatja ih rumta.
19 But Mary was careful to remember all the things that had happened and often thought about them.
Meeri ih erah loong tiit ah dokthun ano rapne ih samthunta.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
23 as the law of the Lord states, “Every firstborn son must be dedicated to the Lord.”
erah langla Teesu Hootthe ni raangthiin cho angta: “Warep ih ephangtup ela phokhothoon noodek ah Teesu suh kottheng.”
24 There they made a sacrifice, as God's law also states, of “a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons.”
Erah damdi nyi ih tokparusah enyi adoleh wotuupi enyi, Teesu Hootthe jun ih nyi siik hoon et koh nyuuta.
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.
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
26 The Holy Spirit had shown him that he would not die before he saw the Lord's Messiah.
erah dam ih heh suh Teesu ih thoomhoon cho Kristo ah maang tuptup an tatiiko ih kakhamta.
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,
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,
28 Simeon took Jesus in his arms, thanked God, and said,
Simoon ih noodek ah heh lakkhoni toonpi ano Rangte suh lakookmi liita:
29 “Lord and Master, now you can let your servant die in peace as you promised,
“Teesu, an ih thoomhoon jengdang ah thiincho, eno an laksuh ah semroongroong et kaat thuk uh.
30 because I have seen for myself your salvation
Nga mikmik ih an jiin dowa khopiiroidong ah tup ih hang,
31 which you have prepared for everyone.
marah an ih loongtang pandi hoon thiin tu rah ah:
32 He is a light that will show you to the nations, the glory of your people Israel.”
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.”
33 Jesus' father and mother were shocked at what Simeon said about him.
Simoon ih Jisu tiit baatta ah chaat nyu ano heh nuh nyi wah ah paatja ih nyuuta.
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,
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
35 revealing what they really think. For you it will feel like a sword piercing right though you.”
erah thoi ih neng husah tenthun loong ah dongjat ah. Eno an ten ah langtheh ih dook arah likhiik, sattiiti ih sat uh.”
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,
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.
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.
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.
Erah pootdi Anna thok haano Rangte suh jengseeraata. Eno Jerusalem ah Rangte ih piipang et ah ih bansokte loong asuh noodek tiit ah baatta.
39 Once they had completed everything God's law required, they returned to their home town of Nazareth in Galilee.
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.
40 The child grew strong, and was very wise. God's blessing was with him.
Noodek ah rongkopkop ih hakta; mongtham ese ah heh jiinni hantek angta, eno Rangte ih heh suh romseetam kota.
41 Jesus' parents traveled to Jerusalem every year for the Passover festival.
Paang rookwih Jisu jaatang ah Khopui Kuwaang di Jerusalem ni bankah ruh kah ih rumta.
42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they went to the festival as they always did.
Jisu asih paang nyi ih hak adi, neng erah kuh adi paang hoh dowa likhiik ih karumta.
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.
Kuh ah thoon kano neng ah ngaak wang ih rumta, enoothong noodek Jisu ah Jerusalem ni tangtongta. Erah ah heh jaatang ih tajat rumta;
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.
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.
45 When they couldn't find him they returned to Jerusalem to look for him there.
Neng ih Heh ah tajap jam rumta, erah thoih ih neng Jerusalem ni ngaakwang rum ano eni jam sokwang rumta.
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.
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.
47 All who heard him speak were surprised by his understanding and his answers.
Warep ih heh tiit chaatte loong ah epaatja ih rumta heh ih jatwah jenglam ih ngaakbaat rum kano ah.
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!”
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.”
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?”
Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Ngah set ih tumet suh jam sok hali tih? Set ih tanih jattansih ngah seng wah nok ni eah?”
50 But they didn't understand what he meant.
Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta ah neng ih tajen samjat rumta.
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.
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.
52 Jesus grew steadily wiser and stronger, favored both by God and by the people.
Jisu ah hansi nyia ese mongtham ni choocho ih hakta, mina nyi Rangte uh heko ih roopta.
