Luke 2
1 Now in those days, it came about that Caesar Augustus sent out a decree ordering that a census be taken of all the people living in the world.
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 census made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Quirinius pa governor lun acn Syria ke oaoa se emeet inge srola.
3 So everyone went to his own city to be registered for the census.
Ouinge mwet nukewa elos som, kais sie nu in acn sel sifacna, in simla inel we.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line 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 He went there to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him and was pregnant.
Ke sripen el akoo in payukyak sel Mary, oru eltal tukeni som in tuh simla inelos. Mary el pitutu,
6 Now it came about that while they were there, the time came for her to deliver her baby.
ac ke eltal muta Bethlehem, sun pacl in isus lal.
7 She gave birth to a son, her firstborn child, and she wrapped him in long strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, 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 that region who were staying in the fields, guarding their flock at night.
Oasr kutu mwet shepherd in acn sac, su muta inima uh ke fong sac in karingin un sheep natulos.
9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.
Sie lipufan lun Leum sikyang nu selos, ac wolana lun Leum kalmelik ac tololosyak. Elos arulana sangengla kac.
10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, because I bring you the good news that will bring great joy 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 Today a savior was born for you in the city of David! He is Christ the Lord!
Tuh isusla nu suwos misenge in siti sel David, sie Mwet Lango, su Leum Christ!
12 This is the sign that will be given to you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
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 together with the angel a great, 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, and may there be peace on earth among people with whom he is pleased.”
“Wolana nu sin God in fulatlana, Ac misla fin faclu nu sin mwet su El insewowo kaclos!”
15 It came about that when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let us now go to Bethlehem, 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 hurried there and found Mary and Joseph, and saw the baby lying in the manger.
Ouinge elos sulaklak som ac konalak Mary ac Joseph, ac liye tulik fusr sac oan in nien mongo lun kosro.
17 After they had seen him, they made known what had been said 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 were amazed at what was spoken to them by the shepherds.
Mwet nukewa ma lohng ah elos arulana fwefela ke kas lun mwet shepherd ah.
19 But Mary kept thinking about all the things she had heard, treasuring 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 everything that they had heard and seen, just as it had been spoken to 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 it was the end of the eighth day, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name he had been 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 required number of days for their purification had passed, according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary brought him up to the temple in 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 will be set apart 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 So they offered a sacrifice according to what was said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of doves 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, and this man was righteous and devout. He was looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon 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 would 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 Led by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple. When the parents brought in the infant Jesus, to do for 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 he took him into his arms and praised God and he said,
Simeon el eis tulik sac, kafsalak inpaol, ac kaksakin God ac fahk:
29 “Now let your servant depart in peace, Lord, according to your word.
“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 in the presence of all peoples:
Su kom akoela ye mutun mwet in mutanfacl nukewa:
32 A light for revelation to the Gentiles and glory to 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 His father and mother were amazed at what was said about 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 downfall and rising up of many people in Israel and for a sign that is rejected—
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 and a sword will pierce your own soul—so 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 A prophetess named Anna was there. She was the daughter of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher. She was very old. She had lived with her husband for seven years after 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 was a widow for eighty-four years. She never left the temple but was serving with fastings and prayers, 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 At that very hour she came near to them and began giving thanks to God and she spoke about the child to everyone who had been waiting for the redemption of 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 finished everything they were required to do according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of 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 grew and became strong, increasing in 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 for the Festival 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 again went up at the customary time for the feast.
Ke Jesus el sun yac singoul luo matwal, eltal som pac nu ke kufwa uh oapana pacl nukewa.
43 After they had stayed the full number of days for the feast, they began to return home. But the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem and his parents did not 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 They assumed that he was with the group that was traveling with them, so they traveled a day's journey. Then they started looking for him among their relatives and friends.
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 did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem and started looking for him there.
Eltal tiana konalak, na eltal sifil folokla nwe Jerusalem in sokol.
46 It came about that after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, 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. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Listen, your father and I have been anxiously searching 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 searching for me? Did you not know that I had to be about my Father's business?
Ac el topuk ac fahk, “Efu ku komtal sukyu? Ya komtal tia etu tuh fal nga in muta in lohm sin Papa tumuk?”
50 But they did not understand what he meant by those words.
Tusruktu eltal tiana kalem ke top lal ah.
51 Then he went back home with them to Nazareth and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things 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 But Jesus continued to grow in wisdom and stature, and increased in favor with God and people.
Ac Jesus el kapkapak in lalmwetmet ac in lumahl, ac el arulana ohi yurin God ac yurin mwet uh.
