Ruka 2
1 I aua ra ka whakatakotoria he tikanga e Hiha Akuhata kia tuhituhia te ao katoa.
Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole empire should be enrolled.
2 Ko te tuhituhinga tuatahi tenei i meatia i te wa ko Kuirinia te kawana o Hiria.
This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 A ka haere nga tangata katoa kia tuhituhia, ia tangata, ia tangata, ki tona ake pa.
All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
4 I haere atu ano a Hohepa i Kariri, i te pa, i Nahareta, ki Huria, ki te pa o Rawiri, ko Peterehema te ingoa: no te mea no te whare ia, no te kawei o Rawiri:
Joseph also went up from Galil, out of the city of Natzeret, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;
5 Kia tuhituhia ai raua ko tana wahine taumau, ko Meri, e hapu ana ia.
to enroll himself with Miriam, who was pledged to be married to him, being pregnant.
6 A, i a raua i reira, ka rite nga ra e whanau ai ia.
It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.
7 Na ka whanau tana matamua, a takaia ana e ia ki nga kakahu, ka whakatakotoria ki te takotoranga kai ma nga kararehe; no te mea kahore he wahi mo ratou i te whare.
And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him with pieces of cloth, and placed him in a feeding trough, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 I taua wahi hoki etahi hepara e noho koraha ana, e tiaki ana i ta ratou kahui i te po.
There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 Na tu ana tetahi anahera a te Ariki i o ratou taha, a whiti ana te kororia o te Ariki ki a ratou a tawhio noa; a nui whakaharahara to ratou wehi.
And look, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 Na ka mea te anahera ki a ratou, Kaua e mataku: ta te mea he kaikauwhau tenei ahau ki a koutou mo te hari nui, meake puta mai ki te iwi katoa.
The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for see, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
11 Nonaianei hoki i whanau ai he Kaiwhakaora mo koutou i te pa o Rawiri, ara a te Karaiti, te Ariki.
For there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Messiah, the Lord.
12 Ko te tohu tenei ki a koutou; E kite koutou i te tamaiti ka oti te takai ki te kakahu, e takoto ana i te takotoranga kai ma nga kararehe.
This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
13 Na ohorere tonu ko tetahi ope nui o te rangi e tu tahi ana me taua anahera, e whakamoemiti ana ki te Atua, e mea ana,
Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying,
14 Kia whai kororia te Atua i runga rawa, kia mau te rongo ki runga ki te whenua, me te whakaaro pai ki nga tangata.
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward humankind."
15 A, ka mawehe atu nga anahera i a ratou ki te rangi, ka mea nga hepara tetahi ki tetahi, Tatou ka haere ki Peterehema, kia kite i tenei mea kua puta nei, kua whakapuakina mai nei e te Ariki ki a tatou.
And it happened that when the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."
16 Na kaika tonu ta ratou haere, a ka kite i a Meri, i a Hohepa, i te tamaiti hoki e takoto ana i te takotoranga kai ma nga kararehe.
They came with haste, and found both Miriam and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
17 A, no ka kite, ka whakapuakina te mea i korerotia ki a ratou mo tenei tamaiti.
When they saw it, they made known the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18 A miharo ana nga kaiwhakarongo katoa ki enei mea, i korerotia nei ki a ratou e nga hepara.
All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 Ko Meri ia i ata rongoa i enei mea katoa, me te whakaaroaro i roto i tona ngakau.
But Miriam kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 Na ka hoki nga hepara, me te whakakororia, me te whakamoemiti ki te Atua mo nga mea katoa i rongo nei, i kite nei ratou, i rite nei ki nga mea i korerotia ki a ratou.
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
21 A, no ka rite nga ra e waru, e kotia ai te tamaiti, ka huaina tona ingoa ko IHU, ko ta te anahera i hua ai ia te mea kahore ano i hapu tona whaea.
When eight days were fulfilled to circumcise him, his name was called Yeshua, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 A ka rite nga ra e purea ai te whaea, e whakaritea ai te ture a Mohi, ka kawea ia e ratou ki Hiruharama, kia tapaea ki te Ariki.
When the days of their purification according to the Law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord
23 Kia peratia me te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture a te Ariki, Ko nga tane katoa e oroko puta mai i te kopu, e kiia he tapu ki te Ariki.
(as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb will be called holy to the Lord"),
24 Kia hoatu ano he patunga tapu, te mea i korerotia i roto i te ture a te Ariki, Kia rua kukupa, kia rua ranei pi kukupa.
and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the Law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."
25 Na, i Hiruharama tetahi tangata, ko Himiona te ingoa; he tangata tika, he tangata whakaaro, e tatari ana ki te whakaharinga o Iharaira: kei runga hoki te Wairua Tapu i a ia.
And look, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Shim'on. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Ruach ha-Kodesh was on him.
26 Na kua whakamaharatia ia e te Wairua Tapu, e kore ia e kite i te mate, kia kite ra ano ia i ta te Ariki Karaiti.
It had been revealed to him by the Ruach ha-Kodesh that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Messiah.
27 Na ka haere ia ki te temepara, he meatanga na te Wairua: a i nga matua e mau ana i te tamaiti, i a Ihu, kia meatia ai e raua ki a ia ta te ture i whakarite ai,
He came in the Ruach into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Yeshua, that they might do concerning him according to the requirement of the Law,
28 Ka tango ia i a ia ki ona ringa, ka whakapai ki te Atua, ka mea,
then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Katahi, e te Ariki, ka tukua tau pononga kia haere i runga i te rangimarie, ka pera me tau i korero ai:
"Now you are releasing your servant, Lord, according to your word, in peace;
30 Ka kite nei hoki oku kanohi i tau whakaoranga,
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 Ka whakatakotoria nei e koe ki te aroaro o nga iwi katoa;
which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 Hei whakamarama e kite ai nga tauiwi, hei kororia hoki mo tau iwi, mo Iharaira.
a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel."
33 A miharo tonu a Hohepa raua ko tona whaea ki nga kupu i korerotia mona.
And his father and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him,
34 Na ka manaaki a Himiona i a raua, a ka mea ki tona whaea, ki a Meri, Nana, ka waiho tenei tama hei takanga, hei aranga, mo te tini o te tangata i roto i a Iharaira; hei tohu hoki e korerotia kinotia;
and Shim'on blessed them, and said to Miriam, his mother, "Look, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 Ae ra, ka tika atu ano te hoari, a puta noa i tou ake wairua, e hurahia ai nga whakaaro o nga ngakau maha.
Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
36 A tera hoki tetahi ko Ana, he poropiti, he tamahine na Panuera, no te iwi o Ahera; kua kaumatua ia, e whitu nga tau o tona wahinetanga ake i noho ai i te tane;
There was one Hannah, a prophetess, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
37 He pouaru, kua waru tekau ma wha rawa ona tau e pera ana; heoi kihai i mahue i a ia te temepara; he karakia tonu tana, he nohopuku, he inoi, i te po, i te ao.
and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 Na ka tae atu ia i taua haora ano, ka whakawhetai ki te Ariki, a korerotia ana ia e ia ki te hunga katoa o Hiruharama e tatari ana ki te whakaoranga.
Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 A, no ka oti nga mea katoa e rite ana ki ta te Ariki ture, ka hoki ratou ki Kariri, ki to ratou ake pa, ki Nahareta.
When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galil, to their own city, Natzeret.
40 Na ka tupu te tamaiti, ka pakari haere, ka ki i nga whakaaro nunui: a i runga i a ia te aroha noa o te Atua.
The child was growing, and was becoming strong, being filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.
41 A i haere ona matua i ia tau, i ia tau ki Hiruharama i te hakari o te kapenga.
His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
42 A ka tekau ma rua ona tau, ka haere ratou i runga i nga ritenga o te hakari.
When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the feast,
43 A ka rite nga ra, i a raua e hoki ana, ka whakaware iho te tamaiti, a Ihu, i Hiruharama; kihai hoki ona matua i mohio.
and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Yeshua stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,
44 I mahara hoki raua kei roto ia i te tira, na ka haere, kotahi te ra ki te ara; a ka rapu raua i a ia i roto i nga whanaunga, i a raua tangata hoki i mohio ai.
but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 A, no te korenga i kitea ia, hoki ana raua ki Hiruharama, ki te rapu i a ia.
When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
46 A, muri iho i nga ra e toru ka kitea ia i roto i te temepara, e noho ana i waenganui o nga kaiwhakaako, e whakarongo ana ki a ratou, e ui ana ki a ratou.
It happened after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.
47 A miharo katoa ki tona matauranga, ki ana korero, te hunga i rongo ki a ia.
All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 A, no ka kite raua i a ia, ka tino miharo: ka mea tona whaea ki a ia, E tama, he aha koe i penei ai ki a maua? na, pouri noa iho maua ko tou papa, i a maua i rapu nei i a koe.
When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Look, your father and I were anxiously looking for you."
49 Ka mea ia ki a raua, he aha korua i rapu ai i ahau? Kihai korua i mahara kia noho ahau i te whare o toku Matua?
He said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be doing the works of my Father?"
50 Heoi kihai raua i matau ki te kupu i korerotia ra e ia ki a raua.
They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
51 Na ka haere tahi atu ia me raua ka tae ki Nahareta, ka ngohengohe ia ki a raua: ko tona whaea ia i rongoa i enei kupu katoa i roto i tona ngakau.
And he went down with them, and came to Natzeret. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Na ka kake haere a Ihu te whakaaro nui, te kaumatua, ka paingia ano e te Atua, e te tangata.
And Yeshua increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
