1A khohnin a pha vaengah Kaisar Augustus taengkah oltloek te lunglai pum ah a pat.
1And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that the whole world should be enrolled.
2Te hlangmi soepnah tah Syria Kurenius kah a taem vaengah lamhmacuek la om.
2This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, the governor of Syria.
3Te dongah hlang boeih loh minghlum ham amah kho la rhip cet uh.
3And all went to be enrolled, every one into his own city.
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.
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,
5Minghlum ham vaengah amah ham a bae Mary te pumrhih la om pueng.
5To be enrolled with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
6A om rhoi kuelhuelh ah a caom tue loh a kae.
6And it came to pass, that when they were there, her days were accomplished, that she should be delivered.
7Tedae a capa camingomthang te a cun vaengah tah impahnah ah hmuen a om pawt dongah a yol tih khongduk dongah a soei.
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.
8Te vaengah amah tekah pingpang ah tudawn rhoek om uh. A tuping te khoyin ah thongimla a khoem uh tih a rhaeh thiluh.
8And there were in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches over their flock.
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.
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.
10Tedae amih te puencawn loh, “Rhih uh boeh, pilnam boeih taengah aka om ham omngaihnah tanglue te nangmih taengah olthangthen kan thui he.
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:
11Tihnin ah nangmih ham khangkung om coeng. Anih tah David khopuei ah Khrih Boeipa la om coeng.
11For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
12Nangmih ham miknoek pakhat om vetih, cahni te a yol phoeiah kongduk dongah a yalh te na hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
12And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger.
13Te vaengah puencawn te vaan caempuei rhaengpuei loh tarha a om puei tih Pathen te a thangthen uh.
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying:
14Te vaengah, “Pathen te a sangkoek ah thangpomnah om saeh, diklai ah rhoepnah neh hlang rhoek soah a kolonah om saeh,” a ti uh.
14Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will.
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.
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.
16Te phoeiah, tatloe la cet uh tih Mary, Joseph neh kongduk dong ah aka yalh cahni te a hmuh uh.
16And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
17A hmuh uh vaengah, te camoe kawng neh amih taengah a thui olka te a doek uh.
17And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child.
18Amih taengah tudawn rhoek loh a thui te aka ya rhoek boeih tah a ngaihmang uh.
18And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.
19Tedae Mary loh tekah olka te boeih a kuem tih a thinko ah a khing a mong.
19But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
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.
20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
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.
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.
22Moses kah olkhueng bangla amih kah imcim khohnin te a pha vaengah Jesuh te Boeipa taengah nawn ham Jerusalem la a khuen rhoi.
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:
23Boeipa kah olkhueng dongah a daek bangla bung aka va tongpa boeih tah Boeipa ham cimcaih la a khue ni.
23As it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:
24Te dongah Boeipa kah olkhueng dongah, “Vahu phiknit mai khaw, vahui ca panit mai khaw,” a ti bangla hmueih te a paek rhoi.
24And to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons:
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.
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.
26Mueihla Cim loh anih taengah, “Boeipa kah Khrih te a hmuh hlan atah dueknah na hmu mahpawh, “tila a mangthui tangtae te om.
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.
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.
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,
28Te phoeiah Simeon loh a kut dongah a doe tih Pathen te a uem.
28He also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29Te vaengah, “Boeikung na sal he na olthui bangla ngaimongnah neh nan hlah coeng.
29Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;
30Namah kah khangnah te ka mik loh a hmuh coeng.
30Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,
31Te ni pilnam tom kah mikhmuh ah na tawn pah.
31Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:
32Vangnah he namtom a pumphoenah la, thangpomnah te na pilnam Israel hamla om coeng,” a ti.
32A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33Camoe kawng a thui soah a napa neh a manu tah a ngaihmang rhoi.
33And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him.
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.
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;
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.
35And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed.
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.
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.
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.
37And she was a widow until fourscore and four years; who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.
38Pathen uem tue a pai kuelhuelh vaengah Jerusalem kah tlannah aka lamtawn rhoek boeih ham camoe kawng te a thui pah.
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.
39Boeipa kah olkhueng bangla boeih a soep vaengah te amah kho Galilee, Nazareth la bal rhoi.
39And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their city Nazareth.
40Camoe tah a rhoeng vaengah rhaang tih cueihnah neh bae. Pathen kah lungvatnah long khaw a om thil.
40And the child grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him.
41Kum takuem yoom khotue ah a manu napa te Jerusalem la cet.
41And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch,
42Kum hlainit a lo vaengah khotue kah khosing bangla amih te cet uh.
42And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
43Khohnin te cup tih a a bal uh vaengah cadong Jesuh tah Jerusalem ah uelh tih a manu napa loh ming pawh.
43And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not.
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.
44And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day’s journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.
45A hmuh rhoi pawt dongah anih tlap ham Jerusalem la mael rhoi.
45And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.
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.
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.
47Anih kah yakmingnah neh ollannah boeih te aka ya rhoek boeih tah limlum uh.
47And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.
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.
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.
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.
49And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father’s business?
50Tedae amih rhoi taengah a thui pah olka te amih rhoi loh a hmuhming rhoi moenih.
50And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.
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.
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.
52Jesuh tah cueihnah neh pumrho ah rhoeng tih Pathen neh hlang taengah lungvatnah a dang.
52And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men.
