Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1To nathuem ah prae thung boih ah milu lak han ih, Caesar Augustus mah lokpaek.
1And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2(Hae baktih milu lakhaih loe Cyrenius Syria ukkung angraeng ah oh nathuem ah sak tangsuek ah oh:)
2( And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3to pongah kami boih milu cazin paek hanah, angmacae vangpui ah caeh o.
3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
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,
4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5milu cazin paek hanah, nawkta tapen tom a zu Meri hoiah caeh hoi.
5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6To ah a oh hoi nathuem ah nawkta zahhaih ni to akoep.
6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
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 brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, 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 in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9Khenah, Angraeng ih van kami nihcae hma ah angdoet, Angraeng lensawkhaih mah nihcae to toeh pae: nihcae loe paroeai zit o.
9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10Toe van kami mah nihcae khaeah, Zii o hmah: khenah, kami boih hanah, paroeai anghoehaih kahoih tamthanglok to nangcae khaeah kang sinh.
10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11Vaihniah David vangpui thungah pahlongkung, Kri Angraeng to tapen boeh.
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which 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 shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13Akra ai ah van kami loe paroeai pop van misatuh kaminawk hoi nawnto Sithaw to saphaw o,
13And suddenly there was with the angel a 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.
14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
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.
15And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16Nihcae loe karangah caeh o, to naah Meri, Joseph hoi maitaw okduk thungah pasong ih nawkta to a hnuk o.
16And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17Nawkta to a hnuk o naah, nihcae khaeah thuih pae ih nawkta kawng to kaminawk khaeah a thuih pae o.
17And when they had seen it , they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18Tuutoep kaminawk mah thuih o ih hmuen to kaminawk mah thaih o naah dawnrai o.
18And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19Toe Meri loe hae tiah kaom hmuen boih to palung thungah pakuem moe, a poek.
19But Mary kept 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.
20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto 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.
21And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
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 days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they 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 male that openeth the womb shall be called holy 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 a sacrifice according to that which is said 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.
25And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26Angraeng ih Kri to na hnu ai karoek to, na dueh mak ai, tiah Kacai Muithal mah panoekhaih to paek.
26And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should 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,
27And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28to naah Simeon mah nawkta to ban ah tapom moe, Sithaw to pakoeh pacoengah,
28Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29Angraeng, na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, na tamna hae kamongah nang caehsak boeh:
29Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30ka mik mah na pahlonghaih to hnuk boeh,
30For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31kaminawk boih hma ah to pahlonghaih to na sak boeh,
31Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32Gentel kaminawk amtuengsak aanghaih hoi nangmah ih Israel kaminawk lensawkhaih doeh ka hnuk boeh, tiah a thuih.
32A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33Anih mah thuih ih nawkta kawngnawk to Joseph hoi nawkta ih amno mah thaih naah dawnrai.
33And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of 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,
34And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall 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.
35(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
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;
36And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
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 she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38Anih loe caeh moe, Sithaw khaeah oephaih lawkthuih pacoengah, Jerusalem ah akranghaih pakrong kaminawk boih khaeah, Anih kawng to thuih pae.
38And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39Angraeng ih kaalok daan baktih toengah hmuennawk boih a sak hoi pacoengah, angmah hnik ih vangpui Kalili prae, Nazareth ah amlaem hoi.
39And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40Nawkta loe poekhaih palungthin thacakhaih hoiah qoeng tahang moe, palunghahaih hoiah koi: Anih nuiah Sithaw tahmenhaih to oh.
40And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, 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.
41Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at 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 to Jerusalem after 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:
43And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it .
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.
44But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45Anih to hnu hoi ai naah loe, anih pakrong hanah, Jerusalem ah amlaem hoi let.
45And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking 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.
46And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47Anih thaikophaih hoi lok pathimhaih thaih kaminawk boih dawnrai o.
47And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and 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.
48And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
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.
49And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
50Anih mah nihnik khaeah thuih ih lok to panoek hoi thai ai.
50And they understood not the saying which he spake unto 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.
51And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52Jesu loe palunghahaih hoiah a takpum to qoeng tahang moe, Sithaw hoi kami mikcuk naakrak ah khosak.
52And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
