Luke 2
1 About that time an edict was issued by the Emperor Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole Empire.
Lao esa, leleꞌ Kirenius dadꞌi malangga mana parenda sia Siria, ma mane monaeꞌ, naran Agustus, fee parendaꞌ nae, “Basa atahori mana sia manaparenda Roma koasan musi baliꞌ kambon fo tungga sensus!” Naa fefeun fo manaparenda Roma reken rauinggu nara.
2 (This was the first census taken while Quirinius was Governor of Syria).
3 And every one went to his own town to be registered.
Dadꞌi basa atahori baliꞌ kambon fo tungga sensus.
4 Among others Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem, the town of David, in Judea — because he belonged to the family and house of David —
Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf leo sia kambo Nazaret sia propinsi Galilea. Ana nae laꞌe ana fetoꞌ sa, naran Maria, de mana henggene basaꞌ ena. Maria ia, mairuꞌ ena. Yusuf naa, mane Daud tititi-nonosin, de musi baliꞌ risiꞌ Betlehem kota Daud sia propinsi Yudea fo tungga sensus. Naa de ruꞌa se lao kota Betlehem reu.
5 To be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was about to become a mother.
6 While they were there her time came,
Leleꞌ ara losa naa ena, Maria fula-fai bobꞌonggin nae losa boe.
7 and she gave birth to her first child, a son. And because there was no room for them in the inn, she swathed him round and laid him in a manger.
Te sia naa, ara nda hambu kama sia ume sesebaꞌ sa. De ara risiꞌ lalaet bibꞌi rala. Boe ma ana bꞌonggi Ana ulun, touꞌ. Boe ma ara ralusa E rendiꞌ temeꞌ, ma rasusunggu sia haꞌo rala.
8 In that same country-side were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,
Tetembaꞌ naa, hambu manatadꞌa hira beꞌe ranea bibꞌi lombo nara sia lenuꞌ sia kota a deaꞌ.
9 when an angel of the Lord suddenly stood by them, and the Glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were seized with fear.
Aiboiꞌ ma, ara rita Lamatualain aten mia sorga. Boe ma Lamatuaꞌ manggarelon naronda rereoꞌ se, de ramatau rae mate.
10 “Have no fear,” the angel said. “For I bring you good news of a great joy in store for all the nation.
Ma ate naa nafadꞌe nae, “Ama afiꞌ mimitau dei! Rena malolole, e! Huu Au uma ufadꞌe hara-lii maloleꞌ sa neu nggi. Basa mana rena hara-liiꞌ ia, ramahoꞌo.
11 This day there has been born to you, in the town of David, a Saviour, who is Christ and Lord.
Hara-lii maloleꞌ ia liin taꞌo ia: Faiꞌ ia inaꞌ sa bꞌonggi Kristus, sia Betlehem, mane Daud kotan. Kristus naa, Atahori fo Lamatualain helu-fuli eniꞌ a maꞌahulun. Lamatuaꞌ haitua E nema fo soi-tefa atahori sala-kilu nara! Eni ia, dei fo atahori roꞌe rae, ‘Lamatuaꞌ’, huu Eni mana parenda basaꞌ e!
12 And this shall be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger.”
Dei fo hei mihine E taꞌo ia: hei mindaa Anadikiꞌ sa nenebꞌonggi feuꞌ mana nelusaꞌ no temeꞌ. Ana sungguꞌ sia haꞌo rala.”
13 Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly Host, praising God, and singing —
Ana olaꞌ basa ma, aiboiꞌ te, Lamatualain aten hetar mia sorga rema raꞌabꞌue ro E. Boe ma ara koa-kio Lamatualain ma sodꞌa rae,
14 “Glory to God on high, And on earth peace among men in whom he finds pleasure.”
“Hai soꞌu minanaru Lamatualain naran! Eni mana endoꞌ parenda sia lalai narun manaseliꞌ a. Lamatualain nae fee dꞌame neu atahori sia raefafoꞌ, naa tao ralan namahoꞌo!’.
15 Now, when the angels had left them and gone back to Heaven, the shepherds said to one another: “Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, of which the Lord has told us.”
Basa de, Lamatuaꞌ ate nara baliꞌ sorga reu. Boe ma manatadꞌa naa ra ola-olaꞌ rae, “We! Ata Betlehem teu seꞌu tita Anaꞌ naa dei! Huu Lamatuaꞌ fee haraꞌ neu nggita ena.”
16 So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;
Boe ma ara lao lai-lai Betlehem reu. De ara randaa ro Maria no Yusuf. Ara o rita Anadiki mana bꞌonggi feuꞌ a mana sungguꞌ sia haꞌo rala.
17 and, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
Leleꞌ ara rita Anaꞌ a, ma ara dui rae, “Faꞌra Lamatualain ate nara mia sorga rafadꞌe hai soꞌal Anaꞌ ia ena!” Boe ma ara duꞌi lutuꞌ-leloꞌ losa basa.
18 All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
Basa atahori mana rena manatadꞌa ra dudꞌui nara, mbombooꞌ a.
19 while Mary treasured up all that they said, and dwelt upon it in her thoughts.
Te Maria mbedꞌaꞌ basa mana dadꞌiꞌ naa sia ralan. Ma ana dꞌuꞌa-dꞌuꞌa sangga nahine dalaꞌ naa sosoan.
20 And the shepherds went back, giving glory and praise to God for all that they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
Basa de, manatadꞌa ra baliꞌ risiꞌ bibꞌi lombo nara. Ma ara soꞌu rananaru Lamatualain naran. Roꞌe makasi neu E, huu saa fo ara rena ma ritaꞌ naa, tebꞌe ona saa fo Lamatuaꞌ aten nafadꞌeꞌ a.
21 Eight days after the birth of the child, when it was time to circumcise him, he received the name Jesus — the name given him by the angel before his conception.
Fai falu, ma ara sunat anadikiꞌ a, tungga baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen. De ina-ama nara babꞌae naran ‘Yesus’. Naraꞌ naa, ate mana mia sorga nafadꞌe neu se ena, leleꞌ inan nda feꞌe nairu E sa.
22 When the period of purification of mother and child, enjoined by the Law of Moses, came to an end, his parents took the child up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
Hambu hohoro-lalaneꞌ sa mia baꞌi Musa nae, ina mana bꞌonggi basa fai haa nulu musi neu tao tungga adꞌat nameu-aoꞌ sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Naa fo ara bisa masoꞌ ume hule-oꞌeꞌ a rala reu onaꞌ biasa. Naa de, Yusuf no Maria Yerusalem reu, fo tao tungga adꞌat naa. Ma ara rendi sira Ana mana bꞌonggi feun nisiꞌ Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a, fo fee ne dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ enan.
23 in compliance with the Law of the Lord that ‘every first-born male shall be dedicated to the Lord,’
Ara tungga Lamatuaꞌ hohoro-lalanen mana nae, “Sudꞌiꞌ a inaꞌ se bꞌonggi ana ulun, mete ma touꞌ, na, musi fee anaꞌ naa dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ enan.”
24 And also to offer the sacrifice enjoined in the Law of the Lord — ‘a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.’
Tungga Lamatuaꞌ hohoro-lalanen, mete ma fee anaꞌ naa neu Lamatuaꞌ, ama-ina nara musi fee tutunu-hohotuꞌ mbui teu pasan esa, do mbui lunda mandaꞌ rua. Naa de Yusuf no Maria o tao tungga hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa.
25 There was at that time in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, a righteous and devout man, who lived in constant expectation of the Consolation of Israel, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Leleꞌ naa, hambu tou lasiꞌ sa, naran Simeon, leo sia kota Yerusalem. Eni, Atahori rala ndoos ma ralan hii Lamatuaꞌ. Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dale Meumaren nafadꞌe neu e nae, hela ana nita Kristus, dei fo ana feꞌe maten. Kristus naa, mana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori Israꞌel ra.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Moved by the Spirit, Simeon came into the Temple Courts, and, when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the Law,
Leleꞌ naa, Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen nendi Simeon nisiꞌ Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Naa nandaa no Yesus ama-ina nara ro E nisiꞌ naa, fo fee ne dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ enan.
28 Simeon himself took the child in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
Nita Anaꞌ a ma, tou lasiꞌ Simeon oꞌo nala E, ma soꞌu koa-kioꞌ neu Lamatualain nae,
29 “Now, Lord, thou wilt let thy servant go, According to thy word, in peace,
“Koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ! Lamatuaꞌ tao tungga hehelu-fufulin neu au ena. Dadꞌi ia naa, Lamatuaꞌ bisa mboꞌi au ena, naa fo au mate no maloleꞌ,
30 for my eyes have seen the Salvation
Huu au ita Atahori fo Lamatuaꞌ haituaꞌ a ena, fo fee ambon neu hai sala-kilu mara!
31 Which thou hast prepared in the sight of all nations —
Lamatuaꞌ nae pake Anaꞌ ia fo fee masodꞌaꞌ neu basa nusaꞌ ra.
32 A Light to bring light to the Gentiles, And to be the Glory of thy people Israel.”
Dei fo Ana onaꞌ rondaꞌ fo mana nendi hadꞌa-hormat neu Lamatuaꞌ atahori Israꞌel nara. Ana o onaꞌ manggareloꞌ a, fo mana matudꞌu Lamatuaꞌ dꞌalan. fee basa nusa feaꞌ ra.”
33 While the child’s father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
Rena taꞌo naa, ma Yusuf no Maria heran bali-baliꞌ neu saa fo tou lasiꞌ a olaꞌ soꞌal sira Anan.
34 Simeon gave them his blessing, and said to Mary, the child’s mother: “This child is appointed to be the cause of the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign much spoken against —
Basa de, Simeon olaꞌ papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fee se. Boe ma ana nafadꞌe Maria nae, “Yesus maman e! Dei fo atahori hetar sia Israꞌel nda simbo mama Anan ia sa. Te tatao-nonoꞌi nara mbali E, dei fo ratudaꞌ baliꞌ se. Mama Anan ia, o tao fee atahori hetar rala nara ramahoꞌo.
35 Yes, the sword will pierce your own heart — and so the thoughts in many minds will be disclosed.”
No taꞌo naa, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ soi natudꞌu atahori ra rala-dꞌudꞌuꞌa nara. Te ho, Maria, dei fo hambu doidꞌosoꞌ naen seli, onaꞌ fela tafaꞌ nenembauꞌ nisiꞌ tenda boam rala.”
36 There was also a Prophetess named Hannah, a daughter of Phanuel and of the tribe of Asher. She was far advanced in years, having lived with her husband for seven years after marriage,
Sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a o hambu beiꞌ sa, naran Hana. Ana too falu nulu haa ena. Aman, naran Fanuel, mia leo Aser. Ana sao too hitu, boe ma saon mate hela e. Bei Hana Ia, Lamatualain mana ola-olan. Ue-tataon, naeni hule-oꞌe ma puasa sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a, fo beꞌutee neu Lamatualain hatuꞌ-rerelon.
37 and then a widow, till she had reached the age of eighty-four. She never left the Temple Courts, but, fasting and praying, worshiped God night and day.
38 At that moment she came up, and began publicly to thank God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the deliverance of Jerusalem.
Leleꞌ Simeon olaꞌ no Yusuf ma Maria, Hana o neu deka-deka boe. De ana rena se, ma ana soꞌu kokoa-kikioꞌ neu Lamatualain. Basa ma ana olaꞌ soꞌal Yesus neu basa atahori mana rahani Maneꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ helu nae haitua nema fo mboꞌi atahori Israꞌel ra.
39 When the child’s parents had done everything enjoined by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
Leleꞌ Yusuf no Maria tao tungga baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalane nara sia kota Yerusalem ena, boe ma ara baliꞌ risiꞌ sira kambon Nasaret sia propinsi Galilea.
40 The child grew and became strong and wise, and the blessing of God was upon him.
Boe ma Yesus boe naꞌamoko. Ana boe maꞌadereꞌ, boe nahine, ma nahine dalaꞌ naeꞌ sosoa-ndandaa nara. Lamatualain o natudꞌu rala malolen neu E.
41 Every year the child’s parents used to go to Jerusalem at the Passover Festival.
Tungga too, Yusuf no Maria reu raa fefeta Paska sia Kota Yerusalem.
42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they went according to custom to Jerusalem,
Leleꞌ Yesus too sanahulu rua, ara reu risiꞌ Yerusalem fo tungga fefetas ona biasa na.
43 and had finished their visit; but, when they started to return, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, without their knowing it.
Leleꞌ fai-fai Paska basa ena, boe ma Yusuf no Maria lao baliꞌ Nasaret reu ramaloloꞌ ro atahori hetar mana rae baliꞌ Galilea reu. Te nda bubꞌuluꞌ rae, Yesus feꞌe sia Yerusalem sa. Ara rae neꞌo Ana lao namaloloꞌ no nonoo nara. Te, losa bobꞌoꞌ ena, nda rita E sa. Boe ma ara sangga E reu-rema sia bobꞌonggi nara ma nonoo nara.
44 Thinking that he was with their fellow-travellers, they went one day’s journey before searching for him among their relations and acquaintances;
45 and then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.
Huu nda hambu randa ro E sa, de ara lao baliꞌ Yerusalem reu, fo sangga E sia naa.
46 It was not till the third day that they found him in the Temple Courts, sitting among the Teachers, now listening to them, now asking them questions.
Losa naa, ara sangga E losa fai telu, dei de hambu E mia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a rala. Ana endoꞌ naselu-bale no meser agama Yahudi ra.
47 All who listened to him marvelled at his intelligence and his answers.
Basa atahori mana rena se mbomboꞌ a, huu Ana nahine tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatualain Hara-liin sosoa-ndandan, ma Ana nataa netane nara no maloleꞌ.
48 His parents were amazed when they saw him, and his mother said to him: “My child, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”
Rita taꞌo naa ma, ina-ama nara titindindiꞌ a. Boe ma inan nae, “Yesus! Taꞌo bee de tao hai susa onaꞌ ia? Au o ama ma susa-susa sangga rereoꞌ Nggo.
49 “What made you search for me?” he answered. “Did not you know that I must be in my Father’s House?”
Te Yesus nataa nae, “Taꞌo bee de papa no mama susa-susa sangga Au? Bꞌubꞌuluꞌ ena, to? Au hambu ue-taos sia Ama Ngga Umen.”
50 His parents did not understand what he meant.
Te ara nda rahine Yesus oꞌolan no matetuꞌ sa.
51 However he went down with them to Nazareth, and submitted himself to their control; and his mother treasured all that was said in her heart.
Boe ma basa se baliꞌ Nasaret reu. Yesus tungga ina-aman parenda nara. Ma inan mbedaꞌ basa dalaꞌ naa ra sia ralan.
52 And Jesus grew in wisdom as he grew in years, and ‘gained the blessing of God and men.’
Ma Yesus boe naꞌamoko ma, boe nahine basa dꞌala maloleꞌ ra. Lamatualain ma atahori o sue E boe.
