Lik 2
Haitian Creole Version
2 ¶ Lè sa a, Seza Ogis te bay lòd pou yo te konte dènye moun ki nan peyi l'ap gouvènen yo.
2 Premye travay sa a te fèt nan tan Kireniyis t'ap kòmande nan peyi yo rele Siri a.
3 Tout moun te al fè pran non yo nan lavil kote fanmi yo te soti.
4 Jozèf te rete nan peyi Galile, nan yon bouk yo rele Nazarèt. Men, paske li te moun nan fanmi ak ras David, li moute, li ale nan Jide, nan lavil David yo rele Betleyèm lan.
5 Jozèf tapral fè yo pran non l' ansanm ak non Mari, fiyanse li, ki te ansent.
6 Antan yo te la, jou pou Mari te akouche a rive.
7 Li fè premye pitit li a, yon ti gason. Mari vlope pitit la nan kouchèt, li mete l' kouche nan yon kay kote yo bay bèt manje, paske pa t' gen plas pou yo nan lotèl la.
8 ¶ Nan menm zòn sa a, te gen gadò mouton ki t'ap pase nwit la deyò ap veye mouton yo.
9 Lè sa a, yon zanj Bondye parèt devan yo, bèl limyè Bondye a klere tout kote yo te ye a. Yo te pè anpil.
10 Men zanj lan di yo konsa: Pa pè. N'ap anonse nou yon bon nouvèl ki pral fè tout pèp la kontan anpil.
11 Jòdi a, nan lavil David la, nou gen yon Sovè ki fenk fèt: se Kris la, Seyè a.
12 Men remak ki va fè nou rekonèt li: n'a jwenn yon tibebe vlope nan kouchèt, kouche nan yon kay kote yo bay bèt manje.
13 Menm lè a, yon foul lòt zanj nan syèl la vin jwenn zanj lan; yo t'ap fè lwanj Bondye, yo t'ap di konsa:
14 Lwanj pou Bondye anwo nan syèl la, kè poze sou latè pou tout moun li renmen.
15 Zanj yo kite gadò mouton yo, yo tounen al nan syèl la. Lè sa a, gadò mouton yo yonn di lòt: Ann al jouk Betleyèm, ann al wè sa ki rive, sa Bondye fè nou konnen an.
16 Yo prese ale, yo jwenn Mari ak Jozèf, ansanm ak tipitit la kouche kote yo bay bèt yo manje a.
17 Lè yo wè l', yo tanmen rakonte sa zanj lan te di yo sou pitit la.
18 Tout moun ki t'ap koute yo te sezi tande sa yo t'ap rakonte a.
19 Mari menm te kenbe tout pawòl sa yo nan kè l', li t'ap repase yo nan tèt li.
20 Apre sa, gadò mouton yo al fè wout yo; yo t'ap di jan Bondye gen pouvwa, yo t'ap fè lwanj li, paske tou sa yo te tande ak tou sa yo te wè a te dakò ak sa zanj lan te fè yo konnen.
21 ¶ Wit jou apre, se te dat pou yo te sikonsi pitit la. Yo rele l' Jezi dapre non zanj lan te bay anvan menm manman l' te vin ansent li.
22 Apre sa, jou a te rive pou Jozèf ak Mari te al fè sèvis pou yo ka mete Mari nan kondisyon fè sèvis Bondye dapre lalwa Moyiz. Lè sa a, yo pote tipitit la lavil Jerizalèm pou mete l' apa pou Bondye,
23 dapre sa ki te ekri nan lalwa Bondye a: Mete tout premye pitit gason yo apa pou Mèt la.
24 Yo te ofri tou yon pè toutrèl osinon de jenn pijon pou yo touye pou Bondye, jan yo bay lòd fè sa nan lalwa Bondye a.
25 ¶ Lè sa a, te gen yon nonm nan Jerizalèm yo te rele Simeyon. Nonm sa a te mache dwat devan Bondye, li te respekte Bondye anpil, li t'ap tann konsa moun Bondye t'ap voye pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la. Sentespri Bondye a te avèk li.
26 Li te fè l' konnen li pa t'ap mouri san l' pa wè Kris la, moun Bondye te chwazi pou l' voye a.
27 Lespri Bondye a pouse Simeyon ale nan tanp lan. Lè Jozèf ak Mari pote tipitit la pou yo fè sa lalwa mande pou li a,
28 Simeyon pran tipitit la nan bra l', li di Bondye mèsi. Li di:
29 Koulye a, Mèt, ou kenbe pawòl ou; ou mèt kite sèvitè ou la mouri ak kè poze.
30 Paske mwen wè ak je mwen moun ou voye pou delivre nou an.
31 Ou pare l' mete devan tout pèp yo.
32 Se yon limyè ki pou fè tout pèp yo konnen ou; se va yon lwanj pou Izrayèl pèp ou a.
33 Papa ak manman Jezi te sezi tande sa Simeyon t'ap di sou pitit yo a konsa.
34 Simeyon rele benediksyon Bondye sou yo, li di Mari, manman Jezi: Bondye chwazi pitit sa a; l'ap lakòz anpil moun nan pèp Izrayèl la tonbe. Men, l'ap fè anpil moun nan pèp la jwenn delivrans tou. Li pral yon siy pou Bondye, men moun p'ap vle wè li.
35 Se konsa l'ap devwale tout lide k'ap travay nan fon kè anpil moun. Kanta pou ou menm, Mari, doulè gen pou fann kè ou tankou yon nepe.
36 Te gen yon fanm ki te pwofèt la a tou. Li te rele An, pitit fi Fanwèl, nan branch fanmi Asè. Li te fin vye granmoun. Li te viv sètan avèk nonm li te marye depi l' te jennfi a.
37 Apre sa, li te rete vèv. Lè sa a, li te gen katrevenkatran, li pa t' janm kite tanp lan; li t'ap sèvi Bondye lajounen kou lannwit: tout tan li t'ap fè jèn, li t'ap lapriyè.
38 Menm lè sa a tou, li vin rive, li t'ap di Bondye mèsi. Li t'ap pale sou Jezi bay tout moun ki t'ap tann Bondye vin delivre lavil Jerizalèm.
39 Lè yo fin fè tou sa lalwa Bondye te mande yo fè a, Jozèf ak Mari tounen ansanm avèk tipitit la nan peyi yo, lavil Nazarèt nan Galile.
40 Pitit la menm t'ap grandi, li t'ap devlope. Li te gen kont lespri l', epi favè Bondye te avèk li.
41 ¶ Chak lanne pou fèt Delivrans lan, manman ak papa Jezi te konn ale lavil Jerizalèm.
42 Lè Jezi vin gen douzan, yo moute Jerizalèm al nan fèt la jan yo te toujou fè.
43 Lè jou fèt yo fin pase, moun yo t'ap tounen lakay yo. Ti Jezi menm rete lavil Jerizalèm. Men, papa l' ak manman l' pa t' wè sa.
44 Yo te kwè li te avèk lòt moun ki t'ap vwayaje ansanm ak yo. Yo mache tout yon jounen. Se lè sa a yo pran chache l' pami fanmi yo ak zanmi yo.
45 Men yo pa jwenn li. Yo tounen Jerizalèm al chache li.
46 Apre twa jou, yo jwenn li nan tanp lan, chita nan mitan dirèktè yo. Li t'ap koute yo, li t'ap poze yo keksyon tou.
47 Tout moun ki t'ap tande l' te sezi pou jan l' te gen lespri, ak jan l' t'ap reponn yo.
48 Lè papa l' ak manman l' wè l', yo pa t' manke sezi. Manman li di l' konsa: Pitit mwen, poukisa ou fè nou sa? Se pa ti chache papa ou avè m' nou pa chache ou. Ou fè kè n' kase.
49 Jezi di yo: Poukisa pou n'ap chache m' konsa? Nou pa t' konnen fòk mwen okipe zafè papa mwen?
50 Men yo pa t' konprann sa l' t'ap di yo.
51 Apre sa, li desann ak yo, li tounen Nazarèt. Li te soumèt devan yo. Manman l' menm te kenbe tout bagay sa yo nan kè li.
52 Jezi t'ap devlope, li te vin gen plis lespri toujou, li t'ap aji yon jan ki te fè ni Bondye ni lèzòm plezi.
Luke 2
New International Version
The Birth of Jesus
2 In those days Caesar Augustus(A) issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.(B) 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.)(C) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem(D) the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him(E) and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel(F) of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid.(G) I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior(H) has been born to you; he is the Messiah,(I) the Lord.(J) 12 This will be a sign(K) to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace(L) to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.(M) 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.(N) 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God(O) for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child,(P) he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.(Q)
Jesus Presented in the Temple
22 When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses,(R) Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”[b]),(S) 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”[c](T)
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout.(U) He was waiting for the consolation of Israel,(V) and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required,(W) 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,(X)
you may now dismiss[d] your servant in peace.(Y)
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,(Z)
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and the glory of your people Israel.”(AA)
33 The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother:(AB) “This child is destined to cause the falling(AC) and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”
36 There was also a prophet,(AD) Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four.[e](AE) She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.(AF) 38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.(AG)
39 When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.(AH) 40 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.(AI)
The Boy Jesus at the Temple
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover.(AJ) 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed(AK) at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother(AL) said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father(AM) and I have been anxiously searching for you.”
49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”[f](AN) 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them.(AO)
51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them(AP) and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.(AQ) 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.(AR)
