Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
1A khohnin a pha vaengah Kaisar Augustus taengkah oltloek te lunglai pum ah a pat.
2This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
2Te hlangmi soepnah tah Syria Kurenius kah a taem vaengah lamhmacuek la om.
3All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
3Te dongah hlang boeih loh minghlum ham amah kho la rhip cet uh.
4Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family 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.
5to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
5Minghlum ham vaengah amah ham a bae Mary te pumrhih la om pueng.
6While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
6A om rhoi kuelhuelh ah a caom tue loh a kae.
7She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, 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.
8There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
8Te vaengah amah tekah pingpang ah tudawn rhoek om uh. A tuping te khoyin ah thongimla a khoem uh tih a rhaeh thiluh.
9Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by 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.
10The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to 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.
11For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
11Tihnin ah nangmih ham khangkung om coeng. Anih tah David khopuei ah Khrih Boeipa la om coeng.
12This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
12Nangmih ham miknoek pakhat om vetih, cahni te a yol phoeiah kongduk dongah a yalh te na hmuh uh ni,” a ti nah.
13Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army 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, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
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 went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, 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.
16They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
16Te phoeiah, tatloe la cet uh tih Mary, Joseph neh kongduk dong ah aka yalh cahni te a hmuh uh.
17When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
17A hmuh uh vaengah, te camoe kawng neh amih taengah a thui olka te a doek uh.
18All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
18Amih taengah tudawn rhoek loh a thui te aka ya rhoek boeih tah a ngaihmang uh.
19But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering 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 the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was 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 eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
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.
22When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up 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 male who opens the womb shall be called holy 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 a sacrifice according to that which is said 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.
25Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on 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.
26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should 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.
27He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of 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.
28then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
28Te phoeiah Simeon loh a kut dongah a doe tih Pathen te a uem.
29“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, 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 before the face of all peoples;
31Te ni pilnam tom kah mikhmuh ah na tawn pah.
32a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
32Vangnah he namtom a pumphoenah la, thangpomnah te na pilnam Israel hamla om coeng,” a ti.
33Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
33Camoe kawng a thui soah a napa neh a manu tah a ngaihmang rhoi.
34Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is 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.
35Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
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 one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
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 she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
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 up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
38Pathen uem tue a pai kuelhuelh vaengah Jerusalem kah tlannah aka lamtawn rhoek boeih ham camoe kawng te a thui pah.
39When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
39Boeipa kah olkhueng bangla boeih a soep vaengah te amah kho Galilee, Nazareth la bal rhoi.
40The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being 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.
41His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
41Kum takuem yoom khotue ah a manu napa te Jerusalem la cet.
42When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
42Kum hlainit a lo vaengah khotue kah khosing bangla amih te cet uh.
43and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,
43Khohnin te cup tih a a bal uh vaengah cadong Jesuh tah Jerusalem ah uelh tih a manu napa loh ming pawh.
44but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
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 didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
45A hmuh rhoi pawt dongah anih tlap ham Jerusalem la mael rhoi.
46After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both 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.
47All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
47Anih kah yakmingnah neh ollannah boeih te aka ya rhoek boeih tah limlum uh.
48When they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking 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.
49He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must 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.
50They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
50Tedae amih rhoi taengah a thui pah olka te amih rhoi loh a hmuhming rhoi moenih.
51And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings 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 increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
52Jesuh tah cueihnah neh pumrho ah rhoeng tih Pathen neh hlang taengah lungvatnah a dang.
