Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.
1A khohnin a pha vaengah Kaisar Augustus taengkah oltloek te lunglai pum ah a pat.
2This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
2Te hlangmi soepnah tah Syria Kurenius kah a taem vaengah lamhmacuek la om.
3And everyone went to his own town to register.
3Te dongah hlang boeih loh minghlum ham amah kho la rhip cet uh.
4So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David.
4Te vaengah Joseph khaw Galilee, Nazareth kho lamloh Judea kah Bethlehem la a khue David khopuei la cet. Anih te David imkhui kah nurhui pahrhui la om.
5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.
5Minghlum ham vaengah amah ham a bae Mary te pumrhih la om pueng.
6While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.
6A om rhoi kuelhuelh ah a caom tue loh a kae.
7And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
7Tedae a capa camingomthang te a cun vaengah tah impahnah ah hmuen a om pawt dongah a yol tih khongduk dongah a soei.
8And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
8Te vaengah amah tekah pingpang ah tudawn rhoek om uh. A tuping te khoyin ah thongimla a khoem uh tih a rhaeh thiluh.
9Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
9Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn tah amih taengah a phoe pah. Amih te Boeipa kah thangpomnah loh a tue dongah rhihnah neh bahoeng a rhih uh.
10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:
10Tedae amih te puencawn loh, “Rhih uh boeh, pilnam boeih taengah aka om ham omngaihnah tanglue te nangmih taengah olthangthen kan thui he.
11Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
11Tihnin ah nangmih ham khangkung om coeng. Anih tah David khopuei ah Khrih Boeipa la om coeng.
12And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
12Nangmih ham miknoek pakhat om vetih, cahni te a yol phoeiah kongduk dongah a yalh te na hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
13And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:
13Te vaengah puencawn te vaan caempuei rhaengpuei loh tarha a om puei tih Pathen te a thangthen uh.
14“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
14Te vaengah, “Pathen te a sangkoek ah thangpomnah om saeh, diklai ah rhoepnah neh hlang rhoek soah a kolonah om saeh,” a ti uh.
15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
15A om van bangla puencawn rhoek tah amih taeng lamloh vaan la cet uh. Tudawn rhoek loh khat neh khat taengah, “Bethlehem la cet pawn sih lamtah olthang aka thoeng he so uh sih. Te tah Boeipa long ni mamih ham a phoe sak,” a ti uh.
16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.
16Te phoeiah, tatloe la cet uh tih Mary, Joseph neh kongduk dong ah aka yalh cahni te a hmuh uh.
17After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.
17A hmuh uh vaengah, te camoe kawng neh amih taengah a thui olka te a doek uh.
18And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
18Amih taengah tudawn rhoek loh a thui te aka ya rhoek boeih tah a ngaihmang uh.
19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
19Tedae Mary loh tekah olka te boeih a kuem tih a thinko ah a khing a mong.
20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
20Tudawn rhoek tah amih taengah a thui pah bangla boeih a hmuh uh. A yaak uh dongah te Pathen a thangpom uh tih a thangthen uh phoeiah bal uh.
21When the eight days until His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He had been conceived.
21Hnin rhet cup coeng tih, camoe te yahvin a rhet vaengah tah a ming te Jesuh a sui. Te tah bung khuikah a yom hlanah puencawn kah a sui pah coeng ni.
22And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
22Moses kah olkhueng bangla amih kah imcim khohnin te a pha vaengah Jesuh te Boeipa taengah nawn ham Jerusalem la a khuen rhoi.
23(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),
23Boeipa kah olkhueng dongah a daek bangla bung aka va tongpa boeih tah Boeipa ham cimcaih la a khue ni.
24and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
24Te dongah Boeipa kah olkhueng dongah, “Vahu phiknit mai khaw, vahui ca panit mai khaw,” a ti bangla hmueih te a paek rhoi.
25Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
25Te vaengah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Simeon te Jerusalem ah khoem om. Tekah hlang tah dueng tih cuep. Te dongah Israel kah thaphohnah te a lamtawn tih Mueihla Cim loh anih a om thil.
26The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
26Mueihla Cim loh anih taengah, “Boeipa kah Khrih te a hmuh hlan atah dueknah na hmu mahpawh, “tila a mangthui tangtae te om.
27Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,
27Simeon te mueihla loh bawkim khuila a pawk puei. Te vaengah camoe Jesuh amah te olkhueng kah khosing la saii ham a manu pana loh a khuen.
28Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
28Te phoeiah Simeon loh a kut dongah a doe tih Pathen te a uem.
29“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
29Te vaengah, “Boeikung na sal he na olthui bangla ngaimongnah neh nan hlah coeng.
30For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
30Namah kah khangnah te ka mik loh a hmuh coeng.
31which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
31Te ni pilnam tom kah mikhmuh ah na tawn pah.
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
32Vangnah he namtom a pumphoenah la, thangpomnah te na pilnam Israel hamla om coeng,” a ti.
33The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
33Camoe kawng a thui soah a napa neh a manu tah a ngaihmang rhoi.
34Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,
34Simeon loh amih te yoethen a paek tih a manu Mary taeng ah, “Anih he Israel khuiah a yet kah a bungnah neh thohkoepnah ham neh boekoek miknoek la a khueh coeng he.
35so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
35Namah neh namah khaw na hinglu thunglang loh n'rhaih ni. Te daengah ni thinko kah poeknah te poeng a pumphoe eh?,” a ti nah.
36There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,
36Te vaengah Asher koca kah Phanuel canu tonghmanu Anna om tih a kum khaw muep patong coeng. Anih he a hula lamloh a va neh kum rhih bueng hing rhoi.
37and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
37Te phoeiah kum sawmrhet kum li hil nuhmai la om. Anih tah bawkim te hlah tlaih kolla khoyin khothaih yaehnah neh, rhenbihnah neh tho a thueng.
38Coming forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
38Pathen uem tue a pai kuelhuelh vaengah Jerusalem kah tlannah aka lamtawn rhoek boeih ham camoe kawng te a thui pah.
39When Jesus’ parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
39Boeipa kah olkhueng bangla boeih a soep vaengah te amah kho Galilee, Nazareth la bal rhoi.
40And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
40Camoe tah a rhoeng vaengah rhaang tih cueihnah neh bae. Pathen kah lungvatnah long khaw a om thil.
41Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
41Kum takuem yoom khotue ah a manu napa te Jerusalem la cet.
42And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.
42Kum hlainit a lo vaengah khotue kah khosing bangla amih te cet uh.
43When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed.
43Khohnin te cup tih a a bal uh vaengah cadong Jesuh tah Jerusalem ah uelh tih a manu napa loh ming pawh.
44Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.
44Jesuh te lambong khuiah om tila a poek uh dae hnin at long caeh phoeiah tah a huiko neh a hmat taengah a tlap rhoi.
45When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.
45A hmuh rhoi pawt dongah anih tlap ham Jerusalem la mael rhoi.
46Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
46A thum khohnin a pha phoeiah Jesuh te bawkim khuikah saya rhoek kah a laklung ah ana ngol, amih taengah a hnatun tih amih ana dawt te a hmuh rhoi.
47And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.
47Anih kah yakmingnah neh ollannah boeih te aka ya rhoek boeih tah limlum uh.
48When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”
48Jesuh te a hmuh rhoi vaengah let rhoi tih a manu loh, “Ka capa, balae tih kaimih rhoi tlam he nang khueh? Na pa neh kai loh nang kan toem rhoi tih n'yuek sut coeng he,” a ti nah.
49“Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house ?”
49Te vaengah amih rhoi te, “ Balae kai nan toem rhoi? A pa im ah ka om ham a kuek te na ming rhoi mahnim? ” a ti nah.
50But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.
50Tedae amih rhoi taengah a thui pah olka te amih rhoi loh a hmuhming rhoi moenih.
51Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
51Te phoeiah amih rhoi taengah cet tih Nazareth la pawk uh. A taengah boengai la om tih olka te a manu loh a thinko ah boeih a khoem.
52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
52Jesuh tah cueihnah neh pumrho ah rhoeng tih Pathen neh hlang taengah lungvatnah a dang.
