Luka 2
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1To nathuem ah prae thung boih ah milu lak han ih, Caesar Augustus mah lokpaek.
1Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.
2(Hae baktih milu lakhaih loe Cyrenius Syria ukkung angraeng ah oh nathuem ah sak tangsuek ah oh:)
2This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3to pongah kami boih milu cazin paek hanah, angmacae vangpui ah caeh o.
3And everyone went to his own town to register.
4(Joseph loe David ih acaeng ah oh pongah,) Kalili prae, Nazareth vangpui hoiah Judea prae thung ih Bethlehem, tiah kawk ih David vangpui ah,
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.
5milu cazin paek hanah, nawkta tapen tom a zu Meri hoiah caeh hoi.
5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.
6To ah a oh hoi nathuem ah nawkta zahhaih ni to akoep.
6While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.
7Nongpata mah calu nongpa to tapen, angvin toemhaih im kong ai boeh pongah, Anih to kahni hoiah ayaw moe, maitaw okduk thungah pasongh.
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.
8To prae thung ih tuutoep kaminawk loe taw ah oh o, aqum ah angmacae ih tuu to toep o.
8And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
9Khenah, Angraeng ih van kami nihcae hma ah angdoet, Angraeng lensawkhaih mah nihcae to toeh pae: nihcae loe paroeai zit o.
9Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10Toe van kami mah nihcae khaeah, Zii o hmah: khenah, kami boih hanah, paroeai anghoehaih kahoih tamthanglok to nangcae khaeah kang sinh.
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:
11Vaihniah David vangpui thungah pahlongkung, Kri Angraeng to tapen boeh.
11Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
12Hae loe nangcae han angmathaih maeto ah om tih; kahni hoi ayaw moe, maitaw okduk thungah pasong ih nawkta to na hnu o tih, tiah a naa.
12And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
13Akra ai ah van kami loe paroeai pop van misatuh kaminawk hoi nawnto Sithaw to saphaw o,
13And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:
14kasang koek Sithaw lensawkhaih om nasoe, long nuiah angdaehhaih om nasoe, kaminawk khaeah tahmenhaih om nasoe, tiah thuih o.
14“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
15Van kaminawk mah nihcae van ah caehtaak pacoengah, tuutoep kaminawk mah Bethlehem ah caeh o si loe, Angraeng mah aicae khaeah thuih ih, kaom han koi hae hmuen hae khen o si, tiah thuih o.
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.”
16Nihcae loe karangah caeh o, to naah Meri, Joseph hoi maitaw okduk thungah pasong ih nawkta to a hnuk o.
16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.
17Nawkta to a hnuk o naah, nihcae khaeah thuih pae ih nawkta kawng to kaminawk khaeah a thuih pae o.
17After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.
18Tuutoep kaminawk mah thuih o ih hmuen to kaminawk mah thaih o naah dawnrai o.
18And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
19Toe Meri loe hae tiah kaom hmuen boih to palung thungah pakuem moe, a poek.
19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
20Nihcae khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, a thaih o ih hmuennawk a hnuk o boih pongah, tuutoep kaminawk mah Sithaw to pakoeh o moe, saphaw o pacoengah amlaem o.
20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
21Nawkta tangzat hin aah han ih ni tazetto akoep pacoengah, anih zok thungah om ai naah van kami mah paek ih ahmin baktih toengah anih to Jesu, tiah ahmin phui o.
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.
22Mosi ih kaalok baktih toengah amprikcaihaih ni akoep naah loe, nihnik mah nawkta to Angraeng khae ap hanah, Jerusalem ah caeh hoi haih;
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
23(Angraeng ih kaalok pongah, calu nongpa boih loe Angraeng han ciimcai ah oh, tiah tarik ih oh;)
23(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),
24Angraeng ih kaalok mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, angbawnhaih sak hanah pahu hnetto, to tih ai boeh loe saning kanawk im pahuu hnetto sin han oh.
24and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25Khenah, Simeon tiah ahmin kaom kami maeto loe Jerusalem ah oh; anih loe katoeng kami, Sithaw khae angpaek kami ah oh, Israel kaminawk Monghaih paekkung zing kami ah oh moe, Kacai Muihtla mah anih to oh thuih.
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.
26Angraeng ih Kri to na hnu ai karoek to, na dueh mak ai, tiah Kacai Muithal mah panoekhaih to paek.
26The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27Anih loe Muithla zaehhoihhaih rang hoiah tempul thungah caeh: kaalok atawk mah angaihaih baktih toengah anih khaeah sak pae hanah, amno hoi ampa mah nawkta Jesu to angzoh hoi haih,
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,
28to naah Simeon mah nawkta to ban ah tapom moe, Sithaw to pakoeh pacoengah,
28Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
29Angraeng, na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, na tamna hae kamongah nang caehsak boeh:
29“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
30ka mik mah na pahlonghaih to hnuk boeh,
30For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
31kaminawk boih hma ah to pahlonghaih to na sak boeh,
31which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
32Gentel kaminawk amtuengsak aanghaih hoi nangmah ih Israel kaminawk lensawkhaih doeh ka hnuk boeh, tiah a thuih.
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
33Anih mah thuih ih nawkta kawngnawk to Joseph hoi nawkta ih amno mah thaih naah dawnrai.
33The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
34Simeon mah nihnik tahamhoihaih paek pacoengah, nawkta amno Meri khaeah, Khenah, hae nawkta loe Israel prae thungah amtimh paroeai kaminawk angthawk lethaih ah oh moe, kaminawk lok angaek hanah angmathaih maeto ah oh,
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,
35paroeai kaminawk poekhaih palungthin to amtuengsak tih, (ue, na palung mataeng doeh sumsen hoiah na thun pae vop tih,) tiah a naa.
35so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
36Asher acaeng thung ih, Phanuel canu Anna loe, tahmaa nongpata maeto ah oh: anih loe mitong parai boeh, tangla kacuem ah oh nathuem hoi kamtong saning sarihto thung sava maeto hoiah ni nawnto khosak;
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,
37to pacoengah anih loe saning qui tazet, palito thung lamhmai ah oh, tempul to caehtaak ai, buhzah lawkthuihaih hoiah aqum athun Sithaw tok to a sak.
37and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
38Anih loe caeh moe, Sithaw khaeah oephaih lawkthuih pacoengah, Jerusalem ah akranghaih pakrong kaminawk boih khaeah, Anih kawng to thuih pae.
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.
39Angraeng ih kaalok daan baktih toengah hmuennawk boih a sak hoi pacoengah, angmah hnik ih vangpui Kalili prae, Nazareth ah amlaem hoi.
39When Jesus’ parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
40Nawkta loe poekhaih palungthin thacakhaih hoiah qoeng tahang moe, palunghahaih hoiah koi: Anih nuiah Sithaw tahmenhaih to oh.
40And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
41Anih ih amno hoi ampa loe misong loihhaih poihkung ah saning kruek Jerusalem ah caeh hoi.
41Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
42Nawkta saning hatlai hnetto phak naah loe, sakzong ih atawk baktiah sak ih loihhaih poihkung ah Jerusalem ah caeh o tahang.
42And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.
43Poih ni boeng pacoengah, amno hoi ampa loe amlaem hoi boeh, nawkta Jesu loe Jerusalem ah oh vop; to tiah kaom to Joseph hoi amno mah panoek ai:
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.
44nawkta loe angmah ih ampuinawk hoi nawnto ahloi boeh mue, tiah a poek hoi, nihnik loe ni to loklam caeh hoi boeh; to naah nihnik mah nawkta to angmacae nawkamya hoi ampuinawk salakah pakrong hoi.
44Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.
45Anih to hnu hoi ai naah loe, anih pakrong hanah, Jerusalem ah amlaem hoi let.
45When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.
46Ni thumto pacoengah anih to tempul thungah a hnuk hoi, anih loe patuk kaminawk salakah anghnut moe, nihcae patukhaihnawk to tahngaih, loknawk to a dueng.
46Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47Anih thaikophaih hoi lok pathimhaih thaih kaminawk boih dawnrai o.
47And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.
48Amno hoi ampa mah hnuk naah dawnrai hoi: amno mah, Ka capa, tipongah hae tiah na oh loe? Khenah, nam pa kaihnik loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah bae kang pakrong hoi, tiah a naa.
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.”
49Anih mah nihnik khaeah, Tih hanah nang pakrong hoi loe? Kam Pa ih im ah om tih, tito na panoek hoi ai maw? tiah a naa.
49“Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house ?”
50Anih mah nihnik khaeah thuih ih lok to panoek hoi thai ai.
50But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.
51Anih loe nihnik hoi nawnto Nazareth vangpui ah caeh tathuk, nihnik ih lok to tahngaih: toe amno loe hae tiah thuih ih loknawk to palung thungah pakuem boih.
51Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
52Jesu loe palunghahaih hoiah a takpum to qoeng tahang moe, Sithaw hoi kami mikcuk naakrak ah khosak.
52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
