1And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole world should be enrolled.
1To nathuem ah prae thung boih ah milu lak han ih, Caesar Augustus mah lokpaek.
2This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria.
2(Hae baktih milu lakhaih loe Cyrenius Syria ukkung angraeng ah oh nathuem ah sak tangsuek ah oh:)
3And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city.
3to pongah kami boih milu cazin paek hanah, angmacae vangpui ah caeh o.
4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David,
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,
5To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
5milu cazin paek hanah, nawkta tapen tom a zu Meri hoiah caeh hoi.
6And it came to pass, that when they were there, her days were accomplished, that she should be delivered.
6To ah a oh hoi nathuem ah nawkta zahhaih ni to akoep.
7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
7Nongpata mah calu nongpa to tapen, angvin toemhaih im kong ai boeh pongah, Anih to kahni hoiah ayaw moe, maitaw okduk thungah pasongh.
8And there were in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches over their flock.
8To prae thung ih tuutoep kaminawk loe taw ah oh o, aqum ah angmacae ih tuu to toep o.
9And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them; and they feared with a great fear.
9Khenah, Angraeng ih van kami nihcae hma ah angdoet, Angraeng lensawkhaih mah nihcae to toeh pae: nihcae loe paroeai zit o.
10And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people:
10Toe van kami mah nihcae khaeah, Zii o hmah: khenah, kami boih hanah, paroeai anghoehaih kahoih tamthanglok to nangcae khaeah kang sinh.
11For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
11Vaihniah David vangpui thungah pahlongkung, Kri Angraeng to tapen boeh.
12And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger.
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.
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying:
13Akra ai ah van kami loe paroeai pop van misatuh kaminawk hoi nawnto Sithaw to saphaw o,
14Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will.
14kasang koek Sithaw lensawkhaih om nasoe, long nuiah angdaehhaih om nasoe, kaminawk khaeah tahmenhaih om nasoe, tiah thuih o.
15And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.
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.
16And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
16Nihcae loe karangah caeh o, to naah Meri, Joseph hoi maitaw okduk thungah pasong ih nawkta to a hnuk o.
17And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.
17Nawkta to a hnuk o naah, nihcae khaeah thuih pae ih nawkta kawng to kaminawk khaeah a thuih pae o.
18And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.
18Tuutoep kaminawk mah thuih o ih hmuen to kaminawk mah thaih o naah dawnrai o.
19But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
19Toe Meri loe hae tiah kaom hmuen boih to palung thungah pakuem moe, a poek.
20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
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.
21And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb.
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.
22And after the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses, were accomplished, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord:
22Mosi ih kaalok baktih toengah amprikcaihaih ni akoep naah loe, nihnik mah nawkta to Angraeng khae ap hanah, Jerusalem ah caeh hoi haih;
23As it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:
23(Angraeng ih kaalok pongah, calu nongpa boih loe Angraeng han ciimcai ah oh, tiah tarik ih oh;)
24And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons:
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.
25And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Ghost was in him.
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.
26And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
26Angraeng ih Kri to na hnu ai karoek to, na dueh mak ai, tiah Kacai Muithal mah panoekhaih to paek.
27And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
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,
28He also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:
28to naah Simeon mah nawkta to ban ah tapom moe, Sithaw to pakoeh pacoengah,
29Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;
29Angraeng, na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, na tamna hae kamongah nang caehsak boeh:
30Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,
30ka mik mah na pahlonghaih to hnuk boeh,
31Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:

32A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
32Gentel kaminawk amtuengsak aanghaih hoi nangmah ih Israel kaminawk lensawkhaih doeh ka hnuk boeh, tiah a thuih.
33And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him.
33Anih mah thuih ih nawkta kawngnawk to Joseph hoi nawkta ih amno mah thaih naah dawnrai.
34And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted;
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,

36And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; she was far advanced in years, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity.

37And she was a widow until fourscore and four years; who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.

38Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord; and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.
38Anih loe caeh moe, Sithaw khaeah oephaih lawkthuih pacoengah, Jerusalem ah akranghaih pakrong kaminawk boih khaeah, Anih kawng to thuih pae.
39And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth.
39Angraeng ih kaalok daan baktih toengah hmuennawk boih a sak hoi pacoengah, angmah hnik ih vangpui Kalili prae, Nazareth ah amlaem hoi.
40And the child grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him.
40Nawkta loe poekhaih palungthin thacakhaih hoiah qoeng tahang moe, palunghahaih hoiah koi: Anih nuiah Sithaw tahmenhaih to oh.
41And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch,
41Anih ih amno hoi ampa loe misong loihhaih poihkung ah saning kruek Jerusalem ah caeh hoi.

43And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not.
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:
44And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day’s journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.

45And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.
45Anih to hnu hoi ai naah loe, anih pakrong hanah, Jerusalem ah amlaem hoi let.
46And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions.

47And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.

48And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
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.

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.
50And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.
50Anih mah nihnik khaeah thuih ih lok to panoek hoi thai ai.
51And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
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.
52And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men.
