1 Hagi ana knafi mika Romu kamani vahe'mo'za kva hu'naza mopafina, Romu rankva ne' agi'a Sisa Ogastusi'a kasege erinteno, maka vahe'mo'za zamagia eme kreho hu'ne.
About that time an edict was issued by the Emperor Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole Empire.
2 Hagi Siria mopafina Kuiriniasi Gavana mani'nere, ana knafi ese kna agafa hu'za zamagia kre'naze.
(This was the first census taken while Quirinius was Governor of Syria).
3 Ana hige'za maka vahe'mo'za zamagi kre'naku mopa agafa zimire vutere hu'naze.
And everyone went to his own town to be registered.
4 Josefe'a agranena kini ne' Deviti nagapinti ne'kino, Nazareti kuma Galili kazigati atreno, Betlehemue nehaza Deviti kumate vu'ne.
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 –
5 Josefe'a a'isa kinte'nea a' nevareno, Kamani vahe'mo'za zanagima krenagu amu'ene hu'negene vu'na'e.
to be registered with Mary, his engaged wife, who was about to become a mother.
6 Hagi anantega umaninakeno, Mariana mofavrema kasentesia kna egeno,
While they were there her time came,
7 ese ne' mofavre kasenteno tavravenu ano vazino, bulimakamofo ne'za zuompafi antegeno mase'ne. Na'ankure miza seno mase nontamina ana mika vahe'moke hiza higeno'e.
and she gave birth to her first child, a son. And because there was no room for them in the inn, she swathed him around and laid him in a manger.
8 Hagi ana kuma tva'onte, sipisipi kva vahe'mo'za kenage sipisipia kva hu'za megi'a mani'nageno,
In that same countryside were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,
9 ame huno ankeromo efore nehigeno, Ramofo masa'amo anamokizmi remsa hunezmantege'za koro hu'naze.
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.
10 Hianagi ankeromo anage huno zamasami'ne, Kore osuta antahi so'e hiho, nagra Knare Musenke eri'na neonkino, maka ama mopafi vahe'mo'za tusi muse hugahaze.
“Have no fear,” the angel said. “For I bring you good news of a great joy in store for all the nation.
11 Na'ankure menina Deviti kumatera, tamagri'ma tamagu'vazinia mofavre kasente'ne. Hanki ana nera Ramo, Kraisi'e.
This day there has been born to you, in the town of David, a Savior, who is Christ and Lord.
12 Hanki avame'za ome kesnazana amana hu'ne, ana mofavre tavaravefi antegafino bulimakao ne'za zuompafi ante'nenketa ome kegahaze.
And this will be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger.”
13 Anage nehigeno, ame huno rama'a ankeromo'za monafinti anante efore hu'za, Anumzamofo agi erisaga nehu'za anage hu'za,
Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly Host, praising God, and singing –
14 Monafi marerisa kumapi nemania Anumzamo'a Ra agi erino. Hagi mopafina vahe'mo'za zamarimpa frune maniho. Anumzamo'a rimpa fru huzmante!
“glory to God on high, and on earth peace among those in whom he finds pleasure.”
15 Anage hute'za ankero vahe'mo'za zamatre'za monafi ete marerizage'za, sipisipi afu kva vahe'mo'za zamagragura anage hu'naze, Erinketa Ramo'ma menina Betlehemu kumate hentofazana forehie huno tasamiazana ome kesune.
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.”
16 Nehu'za ame hu'za oti'za vu'za ome kazana Maria'ene Josefekea, mofavre'zinia bulimakamofo ne'za zuompafi antemase nege'za ome ke fore hu'naze.
So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;
17 Sipsipi kva vahe'mo'za ome ke fore nehu'za, ankero vahe'mo'zama ana mofavregu hu'naza kea, nererane nefanena znasami'naze.
and, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
18 Hagi ana kema maka vahe'mo'za antahi'zamo'za, antri nehu'za antahintahi hakare hu'naze.
All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
19 Hianagi Maria'a ana nanekema hazankea nentahino, agu'afi ana maka kea nenteno ana kea agera okani'ne.
while Mary treasured in her heart all that they said, and thought about it often.
20 Hagi sipisipi kva vahe'mo'za rukrahe hu'za nevu'za, ankero vahe'mo'za hu'naza kemofo nena'a maka fore hige'za, nege'za nentahiza hu'naza zanku, Anumzamofo muse hunente'za, Agi'a erisaga hume vu'naze.
And the shepherds went back, giving glory and praise to God for all that they had heard and seen. It had all happened as they had been told.
21 Hagi 8 knazupa avufa taga nehu'za, agi'a Jisasi'e hu'za antemi'naze. Ana agi'a ankeromo nerera rimpafima fore osu'negeno Jisasi'e hunka agi'a antegahane hu'nea kante ante'za agi'a ante ami'naze.
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.
22 Hagi zamazeri agruhu knama vagaregeno, Mosese kasegemo'ma hu'nea kante ante'ne Josefe ene Mariakea Jisasina avare'ne Ra Anumzamofo aminaku Jerusalemi kumate ra mono nompi vu'na'e.
When the period of purification of mother and child, required by the Law of Moses, came to an end, his parents took the child up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
23 Ramofo kasegefi krente'neana, Maka ese ne'mofavrema kasentesiana ramofo ami'nigeno, ruotge mofavre manigahie hu'ne. (Eks-Ati 13:2)
in compliance with the Law of the Lord that every firstborn male will be dedicated to the Lord,
24 Ramofo kasegefi huno, kre sramanama huntesazana, Tare maho namanuro, tare kasefa namanu kre sramana vugahaze hu'nea kante ante'ne ome ana hu'na'e. (Lev-Pri 12:8.)
and also to offer the sacrifice required by the Law of the Lord – a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
25 Hagi mago nera Jerusalemi kumate mani'nea ne' agi'a Simioni'e. Ana nera fatgo nekino, kazigazi huno Anumzamofo amage anteno nevuno, Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamahoke ahesnia vahe fore hanigu avega anteno mani'negeno, Ruotge Avamumo'a agripina avite'ne.
There was at that time in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, a righteous and devout man, who lived in constant expectation of Israel’s consulation, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
26 Ruotge Avamumo korapa averi huno, ofri mani'nenka, Ra Anumzamo taza hania ne' Kraisina huntena fore hinkenka ketenka frigahne, huno asami'negeno antahino mani'ne.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Ana higeno Simionina Ruotage Avamumo azeri otigeno, ra mono nompi marerino umani'negeno, Jisasi nerera ene nefakea avare'ne kasegemoma hu'neaza huke e'na'e.
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,
28 Simioni'a ana mofavre nevareno, Anumzamofo ra agi erisaga nehuno amanage huno hu'ne.
Simeon himself took the child in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 Ramoka kazokazo eri'za vaheka'amo'na, huvempa kema hunante'nana zana hago fore hige'na koe. Hagi natrege'na kema hunana kante ante'na narimpa frune fri'neno.
“Now, Lord, you will let your servant go, according to your word, in peace,
30 Na'ankure tahokeno taza hanimofona, nagra navunu koe,
for my eyes have seen the salvation
31 Kagra korapa retro hunte'namo maka vahe zamufi efore hie.
which you have prepared in the sight of all nations –
32 Agra masagino maka megi'a vahetera remsa hunezmantena, Israeli vahe kamofona ra agi amigahie.
a light to bring light to the Gentiles, and to be the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Ana mofavremofo nerera'ene nefakea ana kema huntea kegu tusiza hu'ne antri nehune antahintahi hakare hu'na'e.
While the child’s father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
34 Ana huteno, Simioni'a asomu ke hunezmanteno, anage huno Mariana asami'ne, Antahi so'e huo. Ama mofavre kamo'a rama'a Israeli vahe'mofo zamazeri traka nehuno, mago'a nagara zamazeri onetino, mago avame'zankna huno mani'nena, rama'a vahe'mo'za zamefi humigahaze.
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 –
35 Ana hina tamage maka vahe'mofo oku'a antahintahimofona eri ama nehina, kagri'enena asane kazimo tumoka'a reaza hugahie.
Yes, the sword will pierce your own heart – and so the thoughts in many minds will be disclosed.”
36 Hagi anampina anahu kna huno kasnampa ara agi'a Ana'e, Fanuel mofakino, Asa nagapintire. Ana a'mo ve erino neve'ene 7ni'a kafuzage mani'negeno, neve'a frigetegeno, manime vuno tavava teno mani'ne.
There was also a prophet 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,
37 Ana a'mo'a kentoza huno maninegeno kafuzage'amo'a 84'a hu'negeno mono nona notreno, monora Anumzamofona hunenteno, ne'za a'o huno nunamuna kenage'ene feru enena nehuno mani'ne.
and then a widow, until she had reached the age of eighty-four. She never left the Temple Courts, but, fasting and praying, worshiped God night and day.
38 Anama nehigeno anante ana a'mo'a eno, Anumzamofona susu hunenteno, Jerusalemi vahe'ma zamaza huno zamavaresanigu avegama ante'naza mofavre fore hie huno huama huno zamasami'ne.
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.
39 Hagi Josefe ene Mariakea Ramofo kasegemo'ma hu'neazana ana mika huteke, ete Galili mopare vu'za, Nazarete kumazinire umani'naze.
When the child’s parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
40 Ana hu'ne umaninakeno, Mofavre'zinimo nena huno hanave netino, knare antahintahifi avitegeno, Anumzamofo asunkuzamo'a Agrane me'ne.
The child grew and became strong and wise, and the blessing of God was on him.
41 Maka kafuma ne-egeno'a Jisasi nerera ene nefakea, Anumzamo Israeli vahe kinafinti ozmaheno zmagaterenea kna (Pasova) fore'ma nehigekea, Jerusalemi vutere hu'na'e.
Every year the child’s parents used to go to Jerusalem at the Passover Festival.
42 Hagi Jisasi'a 12fu'a kafuzage higeno, koma neha'aza hu'ne ra knamofo ne'za nenaza kna fore higeke avare'ne marerine vu'na'e.
When Jesus was twelve years old, they went according to custom to Jerusalem,
43 Hianagi ne'za neknamo vagamaregeno, nontegama vunaku neazageno, Jisasi'a Jerusalemi kumate mani'negene, nerera ene nefakea onke atreke e'na'e.
and had finished their visit; but, when they started to return, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, without their knowing it.
44 Hianagi zanagrama zanagesa antahi'ana, magoka e'nona vahe'ene ne-e hu'ne nentahine nevakeno kinagase'ne. Kinaga onke'ne rone'zinine, mago'a vahe zamantahigazana, a'o tagranena nome hu'naze.
Thinking that he was with their fellow travelers, they went one day’s journey before searching for him among their relatives and acquaintances;
45 Hakreke erifore osuke, ete rukrehe huke Jerusalemi ome hakenaku vu'na'e.
and then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.
46 Hagi 3'a zagegnama enevige'ne, ra mono nompi kasegemofo rempi huzami vahe'mofo amunompi manineno, kema hazana nentahino zamantahige kea nehigeke, ome kene eri fore hu'na'e.
It was not until the third day that they found him in the Temple Courts, sitting among the teachers, now listening to them, now asking them questions.
47 Hagi Jisasi'ma antahino keno nehuno, kenonazamima hiazankura, maka'mo'za ana kema nentahiza, zamagra antri hu'za hakare antahintahi hu'naze.
All who listened to him marveled at his intelligence and his answers.
48 Hagi nererake nefake nege'ne, antri nehune, nerera'a anage huno hu'ne. Mofavre timoka na'a higenka amanahu kavukvara hunerantane? Ko, negafa'ene, nagranena amuhohuta kagrikura nehako'e.
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.”
49 Hianagi Jisasi'a kenona huno, Nahigeta Nagrikura nehaka'e? Nafa'nimofo nompi manigahuanki tanagra ontahina'o?
“What made you search for me?” he answered. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 Hianagi anagema hiankemofo agafa'a nerera'ene nefakea antahi amara osu'na'e.
His parents did not understand what he meant.
51 Anante Jisasi'a nerera'ene nefa'ene Nasareti uramino umani'neno, nererane nefane kea amage ante'ne. Hianagi nerera'a maka'zama hiazana agu'afi erintegeno me'ne.
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.
52 Jisasi'a knare antahintahizane hanavene nena nehigeno, Anumzamo'a avesinentegeno, vahe'mo'zanena avesinte'naze.
And Jesus grew in wisdom as he grew in years, and gained the blessing of God and people.
