And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And all went to be taxed, every

one into his own city. -- Luke 2:1, 3

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city

of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which

is called Bethlehem; because he belonged to the

house and line of David. -- Luke 2:4

He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.

She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the

inn. -- Luke 2:5-7

Akkaamii-fookap, chokfa-napa ahichaa-chik iisah-chooto, chaf-fok

An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be

afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” --Luke 2: 9-10

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a

manger." -- Luke 2: 11-12

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." -- Luke 2:15

the baby, who was lying in the manger. -- Luke 2: 16

When they had seen him, they spread the word

concerning what had been told them about this

child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the

shepherds said to them. -- Luke 2: 17-18

Mantik Mary-k ho-naa-thii-ka haa-loo-foo-kok kaa-no-sin

But Mary treasured up all these things and

pondered them in her heart. -- Luke 2:19
