Luk 2
1 Erah tokdi Luungwanglong Agastas ih Roman noksong loongtang rookweh thuk ano neng men ah le ni raangthiin thuk rumta.
About that time an edict was issued by the Emperor Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole Empire.
2 Erah phang raang et thukta tok adi, Siria hate Kobono ah Kurinus angta.
(This was the first census taken while Quirinius was Governor of Syria).
3 Eno, warep ih neng teewah men ah, maama hah ni raangwan rumta.
And everyone went to his own town to be registered.
4 Josep ah Galili hah Najeret nawa, Dewid luungwang tup hadaang Judia hah Betlehem ni kata. Tumeah Josep ah Dewid sutoom angta.
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 Josep ih Meeri heh suh nook raang ih kakhatta damdi, heh men ah wak raang wanta. Heh ah sakjih angta,
to be registered with Mary, his engaged wife, who was about to become a mother.
6 eno neng Betlehem ni ang tokdi, nootup rangwuung ah thok taha.
While they were there her time came,
7 Heh sah phangkhoh rah miwasah eh tupta, eno nyuh rah ih khoon ano maan tokkhuung ni jupthiinta naangjam nok laje thoi eah.
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 Erah deek adi mararah saapriimte loong rangphe pheetang ih phek ni, neng saapsah loong ban sok rumta.
In that same countryside were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,
9 Rangsah rah neng reeni dongchapta, eno Teesu chaan ah neng khothung ni phaakta. Eno neng ah rapne ih cho rumta,
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 enoothong Rangsah rah ih liirumta, “Nakcho an! Ngah aradi sen suh Ruurang Ese huijah halang, erah ih mina loongtang suh rapne tenroon thuk ah.
“Have no fear,” the angel said. “For I bring you good news of a great joy in store for all the nation.
11 Chiinyah Dewid hadaang ni sen pangte tupta—Teesu Kristo ah!
This day there has been born to you, in the town of David, a Savior, who is Christ and Lord.
12 Eno sen suh erah jatthuk han: sen ih noodek esiit nyuh ih khoon ano maan tokkhuung nah jupthiin arah tup an.”
And this will be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger.”
13 Baphuk ih heh damdi rangsah loong hantek ih rang nawa dong taha, eno boongkaat lam ih Rangte rangphoong rumta:
Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly Host, praising God, and singing –
14 “Rangte chaan ah echoong thoon rangmong ni phaakjaaja, erah dam ih hah nah semroongroong ang thuk ah heh thunghaanla loong asuh ah!”
“glory to God on high, and on earth peace among those in whom he finds pleasure.”
15 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.”
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 Eno neng ah echaan ih Meeri nyia Josep reeni karum ano noodek ah maan tokkhuung ni jupthiin arah japtup karumta.
So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;
17 Saapriimte loong ah ih heh ah sok rum ano, Rangsah ih noodek tiit tumjih baatta loong ah neng suh we toombaat rumta.
and, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
18 Saapriimte loong ih baatta rah japchaatte loong ah paatja ih rumta.
All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
19 Meeri ih erah loong tiit ah dokthun ano rapne ih samthunta.
while Mary treasured in her heart all that they said, and thought about it often.
20 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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 erah langla Teesu Hootthe ni raangthiin cho angta: “Warep ih ephangtup ela phokhothoon noodek ah Teesu suh kottheng.”
in compliance with the Law of the Lord that every firstborn male will be dedicated to the Lord,
24 Erah damdi nyi ih tokparusah enyi adoleh wotuupi enyi, Teesu Hootthe jun ih nyi siik hoon et koh nyuuta.
and also to offer the sacrifice required by the Law of the Lord – a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
25 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
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 erah dam ih heh suh Teesu ih thoomhoon cho Kristo ah maang tuptup an tatiiko ih kakhamta.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 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,
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 Simoon ih noodek ah heh lakkhoni toonpi ano Rangte suh lakookmi liita:
Simeon himself took the child in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 “Teesu, an ih thoomhoon jengdang ah thiincho, eno an laksuh ah semroongroong et kaat thuk uh.
“Now, Lord, you will let your servant go, according to your word, in peace,
30 Nga mikmik ih an jiin dowa khopiiroidong ah tup ih hang,
for my eyes have seen the salvation
31 marah an ih loongtang pandi hoon thiin tu rah ah:
which you have prepared in the sight of all nations –
32 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.”
a light to bring light to the Gentiles, and to be the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Simoon ih Jisu tiit baatta ah chaat nyu ano heh nuh nyi wah ah paatja ih nyuuta.
While the child’s father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
34 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
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 erah thoi ih neng husah tenthun loong ah dongjat ah. Eno an ten ah langtheh ih dook arah likhiik, sattiiti ih sat uh.”
Yes, the sword will pierce your own heart – and so the thoughts in many minds will be disclosed.”
36 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.
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,
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 Erah pootdi Anna thok haano Rangte suh jengseeraata. Eno Jerusalem ah Rangte ih piipang et ah ih bansokte loong asuh noodek tiit ah baatta.
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 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.
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 Noodek ah rongkopkop ih hakta; mongtham ese ah heh jiinni hantek angta, eno Rangte ih heh suh romseetam kota.
The child grew and became strong and wise, and the blessing of God was on him.
41 Paang rookwih Jisu jaatang ah Khopui Kuwaang di Jerusalem ni bankah ruh kah ih rumta.
Every year the child’s parents used to go to Jerusalem at the Passover Festival.
42 Jisu asih paang nyi ih hak adi, neng erah kuh adi paang hoh dowa likhiik ih karumta.
When Jesus was twelve years old, they went according to custom to Jerusalem,
43 Kuh ah thoon kano neng ah ngaak wang ih rumta, enoothong noodek Jisu ah Jerusalem ni tangtongta. Erah ah heh jaatang ih tajat rumta;
and had finished their visit; but, when they started to return, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, without their knowing it.
44 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.
Thinking that he was with their fellow travelers, they went one day’s journey before searching for him among their relatives and acquaintances;
45 Neng ih Heh ah tajap jam rumta, erah thoih ih neng Jerusalem ni ngaakwang rum ano eni jam sokwang rumta.
and then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.
46 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.
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 Warep ih heh tiit chaatte loong ah epaatja ih rumta heh ih jatwah jenglam ih ngaakbaat rum kano ah.
All who listened to him marveled at his intelligence and his answers.
48 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.”
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 Jisu ih ngaakbaatta, “Ngah set ih tumet suh jam sok hali tih? Set ih tanih jattansih ngah seng wah nok ni eah?”
“What made you search for me?” he answered. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta ah neng ih tajen samjat rumta.
His parents did not understand what he meant.
51 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.
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 Jisu ah hansi nyia ese mongtham ni choocho ih hakta, mina nyi Rangte uh heko ih roopta.
And Jesus grew in wisdom as he grew in years, and gained the blessing of God and people.
