Luke 2
1In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.
1PEA pehē, naʻe fai ʻae fono ʻe Sisa ʻAokositusi, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ke tohi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe puleʻanga.
2This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
2(Pea naʻe fuofua fai ʻae tohi ni ʻi he pule ʻa Kilinio ʻi Silia.)
3And all went to be registered, each to his own town.
3Pea naʻe taki taha ʻalu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki hono potu, ke tohi ai ia.
4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
4Pea ʻalu hake foki ʻa Siosefa mei Kāleli, mei he kolo ko Nāsaleti, ki Siutea, ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻoku ui ko Petelihema; (he naʻa ne ʻoe fale mo e faʻahinga ʻo Tevita;)
5to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.
5Ke tohi ia mo hono ʻunoho ko Mele, naʻe fakanofo, kuo feitama ia.
6And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.
6Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻena ʻi ai, pea pehē, kuo kakato hono ngaahi ʻaho ke fāʻele ai ia.
7And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
7Pea fāʻeleʻi ʻe ia ʻae tama ko hono ʻolopoʻou, pea ne takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae kofu, ʻo fakatokoto ia ʻi he ʻaiʻanga kai ʻoe manu; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau hao ʻi he fale talifononga.
8And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
8Pea naʻe ʻi he fonua ko ia ʻae kau tauhi sipi ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngoue, ʻo leʻohi ʻenau fanga sipi ʻi he poʻuli.
9And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear.
9Pea ʻiloange, naʻe tuʻu mai kiate kinautolu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki, pea malama ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻEiki ʻo takatakai ʻakinautolu: pea naʻa nau manavahē ʻaupito.
10And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
10Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua ʻe manavahē: vakai, he ʻoku ou ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe fiefia lahi, ʻaia ʻe hoko ki he kakai fulipē.
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
11He kuo ʻaloʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ni, ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻae Fakamoʻui, ʻaia ko Kalaisi ko e ʻEiki.
12And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
12Pea ko e fakaʻilonga eni kiate kimoutolu; te mou ʻilo ʻae tamasiʻi kuo takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae kofu, pea tokoto ia ʻi he ʻaiʻanga kai ʻoe manu.”
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
13Pea fakafokifā pe kuo ʻi he ʻāngelo ʻae tokolahi ʻoe kau ʻāngelo mei he langi, ʻonau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē,
14“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
14“Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻi ʻolunga, Pea ʻi māmani ʻae melino, ko e ʻofa ki he kakai.”
15When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
15Pea pehē, ʻi he liliu ange ʻae kau ʻāngelo ki he langi meiate kinautolu, naʻe fepehēʻaki ʻe he kau tauhi sipi, “Ke tau ō eni ki Petelihema, ʻo mamata ki he meʻa ni kuo fai, ʻaia kuo fakahā mai ʻe he ʻEiki kiate kitautolu.”
16And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.
16Pea naʻa nau omi fakavave, ʻo ʻilo ʻa Mele, mo Siosefa, mo e tama ʻoku tokoto ʻi he ʻaiʻanga kai ʻoe manu.
17And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child.
17Pea kuo nau mamata, pea nau ongoongoa ʻae lea naʻe fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻi he tama ni.
18And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them.
18Pea ofo ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau tauhi sipi kiate kinautolu.
19But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.
19Ka naʻe faʻoa ʻe Mele ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ki hono loto, ʻo fifili ki ai.
20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
20Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae kau tauhi sipi, ʻo fakamālō mo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo nau fanongo mo mamata ai, ʻo hangē ko ia ne fakahā kiate kinautolu.
21And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
21Pea ʻi heʻene kakato ʻae ʻaho ʻe valu naʻe kamu ʻae tama, pea ui hono huafa ko Sisu, ʻaia naʻe fakahingoa ʻe he ʻāngelo kae teʻeki tuituʻia ia ʻi he manāva.
22And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
22Pea kuo hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻena fakamaʻa, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻa Mōsese, naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema ke ʻatu ia ki he ʻEiki;
23(as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”)
23(ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻae ʻEiki, “Ko e tama kotoa pe, ʻae ʻolopoʻou, ʻe ui ia ko e tapu ki he ʻEiki;”)
24and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
24Pea ke ʻatu ʻae feilaulau, ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻoku fakahā mai ʻi he fono ʻae ʻEiki, “Ko e ongo kulukulu, pe ko e lupe mui ʻe ua.”
25Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
25Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi Selūsalema ʻae tangata, ko Simione hono hingoa; pea naʻe angatonu ʻae tangata ko ia mo faʻa lotu, mo tatali ki he fiemālieʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
26And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
26Pea naʻe fakahā mai kiate ia ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻikai mate ia, kaeʻoua ke ne mamata ki he Kalaisi ʻae ʻEiki.
27And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law,
27Pea haʻu ia ʻi he Laumālie ki he falelotu tatau ki hono anga ʻoe fono,
28he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
28Naʻa ne toki toʻo hake ia ʻi hono nima, pea fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻo ne pehē,
29“Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word;
29“ʻE ʻEiki, ko eni, ʻoku ke tukuange ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ke fononga ʻi he fiemālie, ʻO hangē ko hoʻo folofola:
30for my eyes have seen your salvation
30He kuo mamata ʻa hoku mata ki hoʻo fakamoʻui,
31that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
31ʻAia kuo ke teuteu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē;
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.”
32Ko e maama ke fakamaamaʻaki ʻae Senitaile, Mo e nāunau ʻo hoʻo kakai ko ʻIsileli.”
33And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him.
33Pea ofo ʻa Siosefa mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe fakahā ʻiate ia.
34And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed
34Pea tāpuakiʻi ʻe Simione ʻakinaua, ʻo ne pehē ki heʻene faʻē ko Mele, “Vakai, kuo fokotuʻu ʻae tamasiʻi ni ko e tūkiaʻanga mo e toetuʻuʻanga ʻoe tokolahi ʻi ʻIsileli pea ko e fakaʻilonga ke lea kovi ki ai;
35(and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”
35koeʻuhi ke hā ai ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻoe loto ʻoe tokolahi: (ʻio, ʻe tui pea ʻasi ʻae heletā ʻi ho laumālie foki.”)
36And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin,
36Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fefine palōfita ko ʻAna, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Fanueli, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻAsa: naʻe lahi hono motuʻa, pea naʻa na nonofo mo hono ʻunoho ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu talu ʻene tāupoʻou;
37and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day.
37ka ka nofo ai pe ia ko e fefine ia kuo mate hono ʻunoho, pea kuo valungofulu ma fā ʻae taʻu ʻo ʻene motuʻa, pea ne ʻikai mahuʻi ia mei he falelotu lahi, ka naʻa ne ngāue ʻi he ʻaukai mo e faʻa lotu he pō mo e ʻaho.
38And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
38Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻo feʻunga mo ia, naʻa ne ʻatu foki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEiki, ʻo ne fakahā ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tatali ki he huhuʻi ʻi Selūsalema.
39And when they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
39Pea hili ʻena fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻae ʻEiki, naʻa nau foki mai ki Kāleli, ki hona kolo ko Nāsaleti.
40And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him.
40Pea tupu ʻae tamasiʻi, pea mālohi ʻi he laumālie, pea fonu ia ʻi he poto: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
41Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.
41Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻene mātuʻa ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē ki Selūsalema, ki he kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu.
42And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom.
42Pea kuo hongofulu ma ua hono taʻu, pea nau ō hake ki Selūsalema, ʻo hangē ko hono anga ʻoe kātoanga.
43And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,
43Pea kuo nau fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ka ʻi heʻenau liliu mai, naʻe nofo pe ʻae tama ko Sisu ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe Siosefa mo ʻene faʻē.
44but supposing him to be in the group they went a day’s journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances,
44Ka naʻe mahalo ʻakinaua ʻoku ʻi he fononga ia, pea fononga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha; pea toki kumi ia ʻi hona kāinga mo e kau fononga.
45and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him.
45Pea ʻi he ʻikai te na ʻilo ia, naʻa na foki atu ki Selūsalema, ko hono kumi.
46After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
46Pea pehē, kuo hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu, pea na toki ʻilo ia ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻoku nofo ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe kau akonaki, ʻo fakafanongo kiate kinautolu, mo fakafehuʻi kiate kinautolu.
47And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
47Pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo kiate ia, naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene poto mo ʻene tali ʻae fehuʻi.
48And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”
48Pea ʻi heʻena mamata kiate ia, ne na ofo ai ʻaupito: pea pehē ʻe heʻene faʻē kiate ia, “Tama, ko e hā kuo ke fai pehē ai kiate kimaua? Vakai, ko hoʻo tamai mo au kuo ma kumi koe ʻi he mamahi.”
49And he said to them,“Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
49Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻoku mo kumi ai au? ʻIkai te mo ʻilo ʻoku ʻaʻaku ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻa ʻeku Tamai?”
50And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them.
50Ka naʻe ʻikai te na ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻoe lea ne ne lea ʻaki kiate kinaua.
51And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
51Pea ʻalu hifo ia mo kinaua, ʻo hoko ki Nāsaleti, pea anganofo ia kiate kinaua: ka naʻe faʻo ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē ki hono loto.
52And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.
52Pea tupulaki ʻae poto ʻia Sisu mo e lahi, pea naʻe ʻofeina ia ʻe he ʻOtua mo e tangata.
