Luke 2
1 It was the time when Caesar Augustus issued a decree that there should be a census of everyone in the Roman Empire.
Un notika tanī laikā, ka grāmatas no ķeizara Augusta tapa izsūtītas, ka visa pasaule taptu uzrakstīta.
2 This was the first census under governor Quirinius of Syria.
Un šī pirmā uzrakstīšana notika to brīdi, kad Kirenijus Sīrijā valdīja.
3 So everybody went to their own city to be registered.
Un visi nogāja, ka liktos pierakstīties, ikviens savā cilts pilsētā.
4 Joseph was descended from King David, so he left Nazareth in Galilee to go to Bethlehem, the city of David, in Judea.
Tad arī Jāzeps no Galilejas, no Nacaretes pilsētas, nogāja uz Jūdu zemi, uz Dāvida pilsētu, vārdā Bētlemi, tāpēc ka tas bija no Dāvida rada un cilts,
5 He went to register there, together with Mary, who was pledged in marriage to him and expecting a baby.
Ka liktos pierakstīties ar Mariju, savu saderēto sievu, kas bija grūta.
6 While they were there, the time came for her to have her baby.
Un notikās, tiem turpat esot, tas laiks atnāca, ka tai bija dzemdēt.
7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him up in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger because the inn had no rooms left.
Un viņai piedzima pirmdzimtais Dēls, un tā To ietina autiņos un To lika silē, jo tiem citur nebija rūmes tai mājas vietā.
8 Nearby some shepherds were spending the night out in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks.
Un gani bija ap to pašu vietu laukā pie laidariem, tie nomodā būdami naktī savus lopus sargāja.
9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone all around them. They were scared out of their wits!
Un redzi, Tā Kunga eņģelis pie tiem piestājās, un Tā Kunga spožums tos apspīdēja, un tie bijās ļoti.
10 “Don't be afraid!” the angel told them. “I'm here to bring you good news that will make the all the people really glad.
Un tas eņģelis uz tiem sacīja: “Nebīstaties, jo redzi, es jums pasludinu lielu prieku, kas visiem ļaudīm notiks;
11 The Savior has been born to you today, here in David's city. He is the Messiah, the Lord.
Jo jums šodien Tas Pestītājs dzimis, kas ir Kristus, Tas Kungs, Dāvida pilsētā.
12 You will recognize him by this sign: you will find the child wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
Un to ņematies par zīmi: jūs atradīsiet bērnu autos ietītu un silē gulošu.”
13 Suddenly many heavenly beings appeared, praising God, saying,
Un tūdaļ tur pie tā eņģeļa bija tas debesu draudzības pulks; tie Dievu slavēja un sacīja:
14 “Glory to the God of heaven, and on earth peace to those with whom he is pleased!”
“Gods Dievam augstībā un miers virs zemes un cilvēkiem labs prāts.”
15 After the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go to Bethlehem and see what's happened concerning these things the Lord has told us about.”
Un notikās, kad tie eņģeļi no tiem uz debesīm bija aizgājuši, tad tie gani runāja savā starpā: ejam tad nu uz Bētlemi, raudzīt, kas tur noticis, kā Tas Kungs mums licis ziņu dot.
16 They hurried there and found Mary, Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
Un tie steigdamies nāca un atrada gan Mariju, gan Jāzepu un To bērniņu, silē gulošu.
17 After they'd seen for themselves, they spread the news of what had happened and what they had been told about this baby.
Bet kad tie to bija redzējuši, tad tie izpauda to vārdu, kas tiem par To bērnu bija sacīts.
18 All those who heard about it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.
Un visi, kas to dzirdēja, izbrīnījās par to valodu, ko tie gani tiem bija sacījuši.
19 But Mary was careful to remember all the things that had happened and often thought about them.
Bet Marija visus tos vārdus paturēja, tos savā sirdī apdomādama.
20 The shepherds went back to watching their flocks, glorifying and thanking God for all that they'd heard and seen, for it was just as they'd been told.
Un tie gani griezās uz mājām, godāja un teica Dievu par visu, ko tie bija dzirdējuši un redzējuši, kā uz tiem bija sacīts.
21 After eight days, the time came for the baby to be circumcised, and he was named Jesus. This was the name given to him by the angel before he had even been conceived.
Un kad astoņas dienas bija pagājušas, ka tas bērns taptu apgraizīts, tad Viņa vārdu nosauca Jēzu, kā no tā eņģeļa bija sacīts, pirms Viņš bija ieņemts mātes miesās.
22 When the time of their purification according to the law of Moses was finished, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
Un kad viņu šķīstīšanas dienas nāca pēc Mozus bauslības, tad tie Viņu nesa uz Jeruzālemi, ka To stādītu Tā Kunga priekšā.
23 as the law of the Lord states, “Every firstborn son must be dedicated to the Lord.”
(Kā Tā Kunga bauslībā stāv rakstīts: ikviena pirmdzimtība no vīriešu kārtas lai top nosaukta Tam Kungam svēta);
24 There they made a sacrifice, as God's law also states, of “a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons.”
Ka tie arī to upuri dotu, kā Tā Kunga bauslībā ir sacīts: vienu pāri ūbeļu baložu vai divus jaunus baložus.
25 Living in Jerusalem at that time was a man called Simeon. Simeon did what was good and was very devout. He was waiting expectantly for the hope of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Un redzi, viens cilvēks bija Jeruzālemē, vārdā Sīmeans; šis cilvēks bija taisns un dievbijīgs, gaidīdams uz Israēla iepriecināšanu, un Tas Svētais Gars bija iekš viņa.
26 The Holy Spirit had shown him that he would not die before he saw the Lord's Messiah.
Tam no Svētā Gara bija pasludināts, ka nāvi neredzēšot, iekams Tā Kunga Svaidīto nebūšot redzējis.
27 Following the Spirit's leading, he went to the Temple. When Jesus' parents brought in the little boy to be dedicated as required by the Law,
Tas nāca Dieva namā no Svētā Gara skubināts; un kad tie vecāki To Jēzus bērnu ienesa, ka ar To darītu pēc bauslības ieraduma,
28 Simeon took Jesus in his arms, thanked God, and said,
Tad To uz savām rokām ņēmis, viņš Dievu teica un sacīja:
29 “Lord and Master, now you can let your servant die in peace as you promised,
“Kungs, lai nu Tavs kalps aiziet mierā, kā Tu esi sacījis;
30 because I have seen for myself your salvation
Jo manas acis Tavu pestīšanu redzējušas,
31 which you have prepared for everyone.
Ko Tu esi sataisījis priekš visiem ļaudīm,
32 He is a light that will show you to the nations, the glory of your people Israel.”
Gaismu, apgaismot pagānus, un par slavu Taviem Israēla ļaudīm.”
33 Jesus' father and mother were shocked at what Simeon said about him.
Un Jāzeps un viņa māte brīnījās par to, ko viņš runāja.
34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Jesus' mother Mary, “This child is destined to cause many in Israel to fall and many to rise. He is a sign from God that many will reject,
Un Sīmeans tos svētīja un sacīja uz Mariju, Viņa māti: “Redzi, Šis ir likts par krišanu un augšāmcelšanos daudz ļaudīm iekš Israēla, un par zīmi, kam top pretī runāts,
35 revealing what they really think. For you it will feel like a sword piercing right though you.”
Un tev pašai caur dvēseli zobens spiedīsies, ka daudz siržu domas taps zināmas.”
36 Anna the prophetess also lived in Jerusalem. She was the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher, and she was very old. She had been married for seven years,
Un tur bija viena praviete, Anna, Fānuēļa meita, no Ašera cilts, tā bija ļoti veca, un pēc savas jumpravības bija dzīvojusi septiņus gadus ar savu vīru.
37 and then she had been widowed. She was eighty-four years old. She spent her time at the Temple in worship, fasting and praying.
Un tā bija atraitne pie astoņdesmit četriem gadiem; tā neatstājās no Dieva nama, ar gavēšanu un lūgšanu Dievam kalpodama dienās, naktīs.
38 She came up to them right at that moment, and began praising God. She spoke about Jesus to all those who were looking forward to the time when God would set Jerusalem free.
Tā arīdzan tai pašā stundā piegāja un teica To Kungu, par To runādama uz visiem, kas uz pestīšanu Jeruzālemē gaidīja.
39 Once they had completed everything God's law required, they returned to their home town of Nazareth in Galilee.
Un visu pabeiguši pēc Tā Kunga bauslības, tie atkal griezās uz Galileju, uz savu pilsētu Nacareti.
40 The child grew strong, and was very wise. God's blessing was with him.
Bet Tas Bērns auga un palika stiprs garā, pilns gudrības, un Dieva žēlastība bija pie Viņa.
41 Jesus' parents traveled to Jerusalem every year for the Passover festival.
Un Viņa vecāki gāja ik gadus uz Jeruzālemi Lieldienas svētkos.
42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they went to the festival as they always did.
Un kad Viņš bija divpadsmit gadus vecs, tad tie pēc svētku ieraduma gāja uz Jeruzālemi.
43 When the festival had finished and it was time to return home, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem, but his parents didn't realize this.
Un kad tās svētās dienas bija pagalam, tad tiem atkal uz mājām ejot Tas Bērns Jēzus palika Jeruzālemē, un Jāzeps un Viņa māte to nezināja.
44 They assumed he was with all the others traveling home. A day passed before they started looking for him among their friends and relatives.
Bet tie domāja, ka Tas esot pie tiem ceļa biedriem; un vienas dienas gājumu nākuši, tie To meklēja pie radiem un pazīstamiem.
45 When they couldn't find him they returned to Jerusalem to look for him there.
Un kad tie To neatrada, tad tie gāja atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi, To meklēdami.
46 It was three days before they found him in the Temple. He was sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
Un notikās, pēc trim dienām tie Viņu atrada baznīcā sēžam starp tiem mācītājiem, tos dzirdot un tos jautājot.
47 All who heard him speak were surprised by his understanding and his answers.
Un visi, kas Viņu dzirdēja, iztrūkušies brīnījās par Viņa saprašanu un Viņa atbildēšanu.
48 His parents were totally confused when they saw what he was doing. His mother asked him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I—we've been worried sick! We've been looking everywhere for you!”
Un Viņu ieraudzījuši, tie pārbijās; un Viņa māte uz To sacīja: mans dēls, kāpēc Tu mums tā esi darījis? Redzi, Tavs tēvs un es, mēs Tevi ar sāpēm esam meklējuši.
49 “Why is it that you were looking for me?” Jesus replied. “Didn't you know I should be here in my Father's house?”
Un Viņš uz tiem sacīja: “Kam jūs Mani esat meklējuši? Vai nezinājāt, ka Man iekš Mana Tēva lietām jādarbojas?”
50 But they didn't understand what he meant.
Bet tie to vārdu neizprata, ko Viņš uz tiem sacīja.
51 Then he went back with them to Nazareth, and did what he was told. His mother kept a careful note of everything that happened.
Un Viņš nogāja tiem līdz un nāca uz Nacareti un bija tiem paklausīgs. Bet Viņa māte visus šos vārdus paturēja savā sirdī.
52 Jesus grew steadily wiser and stronger, favored both by God and by the people.
Un Jēzus pieņēmās gudrībā, augumā un piemīlībā pie Dieva un cilvēkiem.
