¹Nto'u toe, rata hawa' ngkai Kaisar Agustus, mpohawai' bona hawe'ea tauna hi humalili' kamagaua' Roma ra'uki' hanga' -ra bona ra'inca kadea-ra.

¹Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.

²Pobilaa' tauna to lomo' -na tohe'i rababehi nto'u-na Kirenius jadi' gubernur hi tana' Siria.

²This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

³Hawe'ea tauna hilou mpope'uki' hanga' -ra, hore-hore hi ngata totu'a-ra.

³And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city.

⁵Wae wo'o Yusuf me'ongko' ngkai ngata Nazaret, mpo'ema' Maria kamae' -na to bula-na motina'i-mi. Me'ongko' -ramo ngkai tana' Galilea, manake' hilou hi tana' Yudea, mpotoa' ngata Betlehem, ngata kaputua Magau' Daud owi. Yusuf kana mpope'uki' hanga' -na hi ria, apa' hi'a muli Magau' Daud.

⁴And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;

⁶Nto'u-ra hi Betlehem toe, rata-mi tempo-na Maria mo'ana'.

⁵to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child.

⁷Mo'ana' mpu'u-imi, hadua ana' tomane, ana' ulumua' -na. Ana' -na toei naputu' pai' napopoturu hi rala paiwa', apa' ihia' -mi tomi torata.

⁶And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.

⁸Hi mali ngata Betlehem, ria ba hangkuja dua topo'ewu. Bula-ra mpodoo bima-ra hi papada ngkabengia toe,

⁷And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

⁹muu-mule' mehupa' -mi hadua mala'eka Pue' mpohirua' -raka, pai' kabaraka' Pue' mehini mpohinii-ra, alaa-na me'eka' lia-ramo.

⁸And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.

¹⁰Na'uli' mala'eka toei mpo'uli' -raka: "Neo' -koi me'eka', apa' katumai-ku toi mpokeni kareba lompe' hi koi', kareba to mpakagoe' lia hawe'ea tauna.

⁹And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

¹¹Eo toe lau hi ngata Magau' Daud, putu-mi Magau' Tompohore-koi ngkai huku' jeko' -ni, Hi'a-mi Kristus, Pue'.

¹⁰And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:

¹²Toi-mi pompetonoi-na bona ni'inca kamakono-na lolita-ku: mporua' -koi mpai' hadua ana'lei raputu' pai' rapopoturu hi rala paiwa'."

¹¹for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.

¹³Hampinisi mata mehupa' wo'o-mi wori' mala'eka to ngkai suruga dohe mala'eka to lomo' -na we'i. Mpo'une' -ra Alata'ala, ra'uli':

¹²And this [is] the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.

¹⁴"Mai-tamo mpo'une' Alata'ala to hi suruga! Pai' hi dunia', tauna to napokono mporata kalompea' tuwu'."

¹³And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

¹⁵Ngkai ree, nculii' -ramo mala'eka hilou hi suruga, pai' mohawa' -ramo topo'ewu toera, ra'uli': "Kita-mi hilou hi Betlehem mpohilo kajadia' to na'uli' -taka Pue'."

¹⁴Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.

¹⁶Kahilou-rami, pai' rarua' mpu'u-mi Maria pai' Yusuf, hante ana'lei-ra to turu hi rala paiwa'.

¹⁵And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

¹⁷Karahilo-na ana' toei, ralolita-mi napa to na'uli' -raka mala'eka mpotompo'wiwi-i.

¹⁶And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.

¹⁸Konce omea tauna to mpo'epe lolita topo'ewu toera.

¹⁷And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child.

¹⁹Aga Maria mpotimamahi hawe'ea to jadi' toe hi rala nono-na, pai' ntora napenonoi.

¹⁸And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.

²⁰Nculii' -ramo topo'ewu toera, pai' halengko ohea mpo'une' pai' mpobila' Alata'ala-ramo, apa' hawe'ea to ra'epe pai' to rahilo, bate hewa to na'uli' -raka mala'eka.

¹⁹But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.

²¹Ntuku' ada-ra to Yahudi, kahono' -na walu eo umuru-na, Ana' toei ratini' pai' rahanga' -i Yesus, hanga' to nahanga' -ki mala'eka kako'ia-na napotina'i-ki tina-na.

²⁰And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them.

²²Oti toe, rata-mi tempo-na Yusuf pai' Maria kana mpobabehi ada ka'oti-na mo'ana', ntuku' Atura Pue' to na'uki' Musa. Nto'u toe, ana'lei-ra toe rakeni hilou hi Yerusalem bona ratonu hi Pue',

²¹And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

²³hewa to te'uki' hi rala Buku Atura Pue': "Butu dua ana' tomane to ulumua' kana ratonu hi Pue' bona jadi' bagia-na."

²²And when 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

²⁴Rakeni wo'o pepue' -ra, ntuku' hawa' to te'uki' hi rala Buku Atura Pue': hamoko korokou ba roma'a ana' mangkebodo.

²³(as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),

²⁵Hi Yerusalem nto'u toe, ria hadua tauna to rahanga' Simeon. Simeon toei, tau monoa' to mengkoru hi Alata'ala. Inoha' Tomoroli' mpodohei-i, pai' -i ncarumaka kaneo' -na rata-mi tempo-na Alata'ala mpotulungi muli Israel.

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.

²⁶Hangkani, Inoha' Tomoroli' mpo'uli' -ki hewa toi: "Ko'ia-ko mate ane ko'ia nuhiloi Magau' Topetolo' to najanci Pue' Ala."

²⁵And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

²⁷Jadi', nto'u-na Yusuf pai' Maria mpokeni Yesus ana'lei-ra hi Tomi Alata'ala bona ratonu hi Alata'ala ntuku' Atura Musa, Inoha' Tomoroli' mpopakeni Simeon mesua' hi Tomi Alata'ala.

²⁶And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

²⁸Kana'ala' -nami ana'lei toei, napanawi pai' -i mpo'une' Alata'ala, na'uli':

²⁷And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law,

²⁹"O Pue', nau' mate-ama, uma-pi beiwa. Oha-mi nono-ku, apa' madupa' -mi janci-nu.

²⁸then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

³⁰Hante mata-ku moto-mi mpohilo Topetolo' to ngkai Iko Pue',

²⁹Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord, According to thy word, in peace;

³¹to nuporodo hi hawe'ea manusia'.

³⁰For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

³²Topetolo' toei, hewa baja to mponotohi nono tauna to bela-ra muli Israel. Pai' -i mpokeni karabilaa' hi kai' muli Israel to nupobagia."

³¹Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;

³³Tina pai' tuama ana' toei konce mpo'epe lolita Simeon mpotompo'wiwi ana' -ra.

³²A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel.

³⁴Simeon mpogane' -ra, pai' na'uli' -ki Maria: "Ngkai Ana' -nu toii, wori' mpai' muli Israel monawu' mporata silaka, aga wori' wo'o to tehore bona mporata kalompea'. Hi'a-mi to napelihi pai' nasuro tumai Pue' Ala, aga wori' tauna mposapuaka-i mpai',

³³And his father and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him;

³⁵alaa-na telohu-mi ihi' nono-ra. Hiaa' iko Maria, narumpa' -ko-hana mpai' kasusaa' nono, hewa to rajalo piho'."

³⁴and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;

³⁷Nto'u karata-ra Yusuf pai' Maria hi Tomi Alata'ala toe, ria wo'o-hawo hi ree hadua nabi tobine to tu'a lia-mi. Hanga' -na Hana, ana' Fanuel, ngkai posantina-na Asyer. Nto'u toe, umuru-na walu mpulu' opo' mpae. Pitu mpae-i-wadi motomanei. Ngkai ree, balu-imi pai' uma-ipi motomanei. Tida oa' -i hi Tomi Alata'ala, hi eo-na hi bengi-na ntora mosampaya pai' mopuasa' -i mepue' hi Pue' Ala.

³⁵yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.

³⁸Jadi', nto'u Yusuf pai' Maria hi Tomi Alata'ala toe, rata wo'o-imi-hawo Hana, mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala, pai' ntora mpotompo'wiwi Ana' toei hi hawe'ea tauna to mpopea tempo-na Alata'ala mpobahaka to Yerusalem ngkai bali' -ra.

³⁶And there 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,

³⁹Ka'oti-ra Yusuf pai' Maria mpobabehi hawe'ea to ratuntu' hi rala Buku Atura Pue', nculii' -ramo hilou hi ngata Nazaret hi tana' Galilea.

³⁷and she had been a widow even unto fourscore and four years), who departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day.

⁴⁰Ana' -ra toei, kaboo-bohea pai' karoo-rohoa. Monoto lia nono-na, pai' Alata'ala mpogane' -i.

³⁸And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

⁴¹Butu mpae-na, tina pai' tuama-na Yesus hilou hi Yerusalem mpokaralai eo bohe to Yahudi to rahanga' Eo Paskah.

³⁹And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

⁴²Hono' -mi hampulu' rompae umuru-na Yesus, hilou wo'o-ramo ngkaralai eo bohe toe hewa kabiasaa-ra.

⁴⁰And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

⁴³Katimpaliu-na eo bohe toe, nculii' -ramo hilou mpotoa' ngata-ra. Aga Yesus-hana, uma-i mpotuku' -ra. Hi ria-i-pidi hi Yerusalem, aga uma ra'incai totu'a-na.

⁴¹And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.

⁴⁴Ra'uli' -rawo, metuku' moto-i dohe doo hampomakoa' -ra. Ha'eo-ramo momako', lako' rapali' -idi hi doo-ra pai' ompi' -ra.

⁴²And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast;

⁴⁵Aga uma-i raruai'. Toe pai' nculii' -ra hi Yerusalem mpopali' -i.

⁴³and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not;

⁴⁶Tolu eo-ramo mepali', lako' rarua' -idi hi Tomi Alata'ala. Mohura-i hi laintongo' guru agama, mpe'epei pai' mepekune'.

⁴⁴but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance:

⁴⁷Hawe'ea tauna to mpo'epe-i mpo'uli': "Uma mowo kapante-nae'! Uma mowo kamonoto tompoi' -na!"

⁴⁵and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.

⁴⁸Konce tina pai' tuama-na mpohilo-i. Na'uli' tina-na: "Uto', napa-di-kona pai' nupohewa toe-kaie! Kai' tuama-nu, sese' -kai mpopali' -ko!"

⁴⁶And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions:

⁴⁹Na'uli' -raka: "Ha napa pai' nipali' -a? Ha uma ni'incai kana hi rala tomi Tuama-kua?"

⁴⁷and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

⁵⁰Tapi' uma rapaha batua lolita-na.

⁴⁸And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.

⁵¹Oti toe, hidohea-ramo nculii' hilou hi Nazaret, pai' bate mengkoru-i hi hawa' tina pai' tuama-na. Tina-na mpotimamahi hawe'ea to jadi' toe hi rala nono-na.

⁴⁹And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father's house?

⁵²Yesus kaboo-bohea pai' kamonoo-notoa nono-na. Alata'ala mpokono-i, wae wo'o manusia'.

⁵⁰And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

⁵¹And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all [these] sayings in her heart.

⁵²And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
