Luke 2
1 About that time the Emperor Augustus commanded that ([his officials must] write down the names/[a census be taken]) of all the people who lived in countries [controlled] by the Roman [government] {that the Roman [government controlled]}, [so that the government could collect taxes from them].
Történt pedig azokban a napokban, hogy Augustus császár parancsolatot adott ki, hogy írják össze az egész földet.
2 That was the first time that they (wrote down the names/took a census) in Syria [province, which included Judea district]. They did this while Quirinius was the governor of the province.
Ez az összeírás először akkor történt, amikor Szíriában Cirénius volt a helytartó.
3 Every person had to go to the town where his [most famous ancestor] had lived, so that [the officials] could write down their names.
Mindenki elment tehát a maga városába, hogy összeírják.
4 So, because Joseph was a descendant of [King] David, he went up from Nazareth, the town in Galilee [district where he lived], to the town of Bethlehem in Judea [district]. That was the town where [King] David [grew up].
József is elment Galileából, Názáret városából Júdeába, Dávid városába, amelynek neve Betlehem, mivel Dávid házából és nemzetségéből való volt,
5 Joseph went with Mary, who [was considered] {whom [people considered]} [to be] his wife, who was now pregnant. They went so that they could put his name and Mary’s name [in the record book].
hogy összeírják Máriával, aki jegyese volt, és aki várandós volt.
6 When they arrived [in Bethlehem], there was no place for them to stay in the house where travelers stay. [So they stayed in a cattle shed]. When the time for Mary to give birth arrived, she gave birth to her first son there. She wrapped him in strips of cloth and placed him in a trough where [people] put food for the animals.
És történt, amikor ott voltak, eljött szülésének ideje.
És megszülte elsőszülött fiát, és bepólyálta, és jászolba fektette, mert nem volt helyük a vendégfogadóban.
8 That night, there were [some] shepherds who were taking care of their sheep [as usual] in the fields near [Bethlehem].
Pásztorok voltak azon a vidéken, akik kinn a mezőn tanyáztak, és éjszaka is őrködtek nyájuk mellett.
9 An angel from God appeared to them. A great light (from the Lord/from God) shone on them and around them. [So] they became very afraid.
És íme, az Úr angyala hozzájuk jött, és az Úr dicsősége körülvette őket, és nagy félelem vett erőt rajtuk.
10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! I have come to tell you good news, which will [make you] very happy! This message is for everyone [to hear].
Az angyal pedig ezt mondta nekik: „Ne féljetek! Íme, nagy örömöt hirdetek nektek, amely az egész népnek öröme lesz.
11 [The message is that] today a baby has been born in [Bethlehem, the town where King] David grew up. That baby will [eventually] save you [from the guilt of your sins]! He is the Messiah, [your] Lord!
Mert Megtartó született ma nektek, aki az Úr Krisztus, a Dávid városában.
12 I will tell you how [you will recognize him] (OR, how you will know [that what I say is true]): [In Bethlehem] you will find a baby who has been wrapped {[whose mother] has wrapped him} in strips of cloth and placed in a trough where [people] put food for the animals.”
Ez pedig nektek a jel: egy kisgyermeket találtok bepólyálva feküdni a jászolban.“
13 Suddenly a large group of angels from heaven appeared and joined the other angel. They all praised God, singing/saying,
És hirtelen az angyallal mennyei seregek sokasága jelent meg, akik Istent dicsérték, és ezt mondták:
14 “May [all the angels] in the highest heaven praise God! And on the earth may the people to whom God has shown his favor have peace [with him]!”
„Dicsőség a magasságban Istennek, és a földön békesség, és az emberekhez jóakarat!“
15 After the angels left them [and returned] to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem to see this [wonderful] thing that has happened, which (the Lord/God) has told us about!”
És történt, hogy amikor elmentek tőlük az angyalok a mennybe, a pásztorok ezt mondták egymásnak: „Menjünk el egészen Betlehemig, és lássuk meg, ami történt, amit az Úr tudtul adott nekünk.“
16 So they went quickly. They found the [place where] Mary and Joseph [were staying], and [they saw] the baby lying in the trough where [people] put food for the animals.
Elmentek azért nagy sietséggel, és megtalálták Máriát és Józsefet és a kisgyermeket, aki a jászolban feküdt.
17 Then they told [Mary and Joseph and others] what had been told them {what [the angel] had told them} about this child.
Ezt látva elbeszélték azt, amit a gyermekről hallottak.
18 Everyone who heard what was said by the shepherds {what the shepherds said} to them was amazed.
Mindenki, aki hallotta, elcsodálkozott azon, amit a pásztorok mondtak.
19 But Mary [did not talk to others about what the angels said]; she just kept thinking very much about it.
Mária pedig megőrizte, és szívében forgatta a hallottakat.
20 The shepherds returned [to their sheep]. They kept praising God very much for all the things that they had heard and seen, [because] everything [happened] exactly like [the angels] told them.
A pásztorok pedig visszatértek, dicsőítették és dicsérték Istent mindazért, amit hallottak és láttak, úgy, ahogy az megmondatott nekik.
21 Seven days later, when [the priests] circumcised the baby, [his parents] named him Jesus. That was the name that [they were told by] the angel {the angel [told them]} [to] give him before Mary became pregnant.
Amikor a nyolc nap elmúlt, hogy a kisgyermeket körülmetéljék, Jézusnak nevezték, ahogy az angyal nevezte mielőtt még anyja méhében megfogant.
22 It had been written by Moses {Moses had written} [long ago] in a law that God gave him, that when a woman gave birth to her first son, the parents had to take him [to the Temple] in Jerusalem in order that they might dedicate him (to the Lord/to God). So when the time came for them to do those rituals so that [God would consider] them pure again, Mary and Joseph took Jesus there.
Amikor Mózes törvénye szerint leteltek Mária tisztulásának napjai, felvitték Jézust Jeruzsálembe, hogy bemutassák az Úrnak.
Ahogyan meg van írva az Úr törvényében, hogy minden elsőszülött fiú az Úrnak legyen szentelve,
24 God had commanded in his laws that if the first child [of a couple] was a boy, his parents should offer as a sacrifice to God two turtledoves or two young pigeons. [So Joseph and Mary gave the priest two birds so he could offer them].
és hogy áldozatot mutassanak be az Úr törvénye szerint: „Egy pár gerlicét vagy két galambfiókát.“
25 At that time there was an [old] man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. He habitually did what was pleasing to God and he obeyed God’s laws. The Holy Spirit was [directing] him as he was waiting for [God] [MTY] [to] encourage the Israeli [people by sending the Messiah].
És íme, volt Jeruzsálemben egy ember, akinek a neve Simeon volt, és ez az ember igaz és istenfélő volt, és várta Izrael vigasztalását, és a Szentlélek volt rajta.
26 It was [previously] revealed by the Holy Spirit {The Holy Spirit [previously] revealed} to him that he would see God’s [promised] Messiah before he died.
Azt a kinyilatkoztatást kapta a Szentlélektől, hogy addig nem hal meg, amíg meg nem látja az Úrnak Krisztusát.
27 When Joseph and Mary brought their baby Jesus [to the Temple] in order to perform the rituals that [God had commanded] in his laws, the Spirit led Simeon to enter the Temple [courtyard, and revealed to him that Jesus was the Messiah].
A Lélek indításából a templomba ment, és amikor a gyermek Jézust szülei bevitték, hogy érte a törvény előírása szerint cselekedjenek,
28 So he took Jesus up in his arms and praised God, saying,
karjába vette, és áldotta Istent, és ezt mondta:
29 Lord, you promised me that I would see the one [MTY] who would enable you to save people of all people-groups from the guilt of their sins. He will be [MET] like a light that will reveal your truth to non-Jews, and he will cause people to think highly of your people, the Israeli people. Since I [SYN] have now seen this one that you promised to send, now let me die peacefully.
„Mostan bocsátod el, Uram, a te szolgádat beszéded szerint békességben,
mert látták az én szemeim a te üdvösségedet,
amelyet készítettél minden nép szeme láttára,
világosságul a pogányok megvilágosítására, és a te népednek, Izraelnek dicsőségére.“
33 His parents marveled about what [Simeon] said about [Jesus]. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary,
József pedig és az ő anyja csodálkozott azokon, amiket őfelőle mondott.
34 “Note what I say: [God] has determined that because of this child, many Israeli people will [turn away from God], and many others will turn to God [MET]. Although he will be like a sign [MET] [to warn people], [many] people will oppose him.
És Simeon megáldotta őket, és ezt mondta Máriának, az ő anyjának: „Íme, ő sokak elbukására és felemelésére rendeltetett Izraelben, és jel lesz, amelynek sokan ellene mondanak,
35 As a result, the [evil] thoughts of many people will be made evident {he will reveal the [evil] thoughts of many people}. [Furthermore, the cruel things that they will do to him] [MET] [will be like] a sword that will pierce your (soul/inner being).”
még a te lelkedet is éles tőr járja majd át, hogy sok szív gondolata nyilvánvalóvá legyen.“
36 There was also [in the Temple courtyard] a very old woman named Anna. She was a prophetess. Her father Phanuel was a member of the tribe of Asher. After she had been married seven years, her husband died.
Volt egy prófétanő is, Anna, Fánuel leánya, Áser nemzetségéből. Nagyon előrehaladott korú volt, hajadon kora után csak hét esztendeig élt férjével.
37 After that, she lived until she was 84 years old, and she was still a widow. She stayed in the Temple [area] all the time, night and day, worshipping God. She often (abstained from food/fasted) as she prayed.
Már nyolcvannégy esztendeje özvegy volt. Nem távozott el a templomból, mert böjtöléssel és imádkozással szolgált éjjel és nappal.
38 [While Joseph and Mary and the baby were] still [in the Temple, Anna came to them. She thanked God for the baby]. Then she spoke about Jesus to many people who were expecting [God to send the Messiah] [MTY] to set [the people of] [MTY] Jerusalem free [from their enemies].
Ugyanabban az órában odalépett, hálát adott az Úrnak, és beszélt róla mindenkinek, akik Jeruzsálemben a megváltást várták.
39 After Joseph and Mary had finished performing the rituals that (the Lord/God) required [the parents of a first son] to perform, they returned to their own town, Nazareth, in Galilee [district].
Amikor mindent elvégeztek az Úr törvénye szerint, visszatértek Galileába, városukba, Názáretbe.
40 As Jesus grew up, he became strong and very wise, and God was very pleased with him.
A kisgyermek pedig növekedett és erősödött lélekben, megtelt bölcsességgel és az Isten kegyelme volt rajta.
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem to [celebrate] the Passover festival.
Szülei évenként felmentek Jeruzsálembe húsvét ünnepére.
42 So when Jesus was twelve years old, they went up [to Jerusalem] as they always did.
Amikor tizenkét esztendős lett, szintén fölmentek Jeruzsálembe az ünnepi szokás szerint.
43 When the celebration ended, his parents started to return home, but Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. [His parents] did not realize that [Jesus stayed there].
Miután elteltek az ünnepnapok, hazaindultak. A gyermek Jézus azonban Jeruzsálemben maradt, de sem József, sem az anyja nem vette észre.
44 They thought that he was with the other people who were traveling with them. They walked all day. Then they started to look for him among their relatives and friends.
Azt gondolták, hogy az útitársaik között van. Egynapi járóföldet mentek, és akkor kezdték keresni a rokonok és ismerősök között.
45 They did not find him, so they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.
Amikor nem találták, visszamentek Jeruzsálembe, hogy megkeressék.
46 Two days later, they found him. He was in the Temple [courtyard], sitting with the [Jewish] religious teachers. He was listening to what they said, and he was asking them questions.
És történt, hogy harmadnapra találták meg a templomban, a tanítómesterek között ülve, amint hallgatta és kérdezgette őket.
47 Everyone who heard what he [said] was amazed at how much he understood and [how well] he answered [the questions that the teachers asked].
Mindnyájan, akik őt hallgatták, elcsodálkoztak értelmén és feleletein.
48 When his parents saw him, they were very surprised. His mother said to him, “My son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been very worried as we [(exc)] have been searching for you!”
Amikor szülei meglátták, elcsodálkoztak, és anyja ezt mondta neki: „Fiam, miért tetted ezt velünk? Íme, atyád és én nagy bánattal kerestünk téged.“
49 He said to them, [speaking about the Temple being God his Father’s house], “(I am surprised that you [(dl)] did [not know] where to find me!/Why did you [not know] where to find me?) [RHQ] (You [(dl)] should have known that it was necessary for me to be in my Father’s house!/Did you not know that it was necessary for me to be in my Father’s house?) [RHQ]”
Ő pedig ezt mondta nekik: „Miért kerestetek engem? Vagy nem tudjátok, hogy nekem az én Atyám dolgaival kell foglalkoznom?“
50 But they did not understand [the meaning of] what he said to them.
De ők nem értették, amit mondott nekik.
51 Then he returned with them down to Nazareth. He always obeyed them. But his mother kept thinking about all those things.
Jézus ezután elment velük Názáretbe, és engedelmeskedett nekik. Anyja szívében megőrizte mindezeket.
52 [As the years passed], Jesus continued to become wiser and he grew taller. God and people continued to approve of him more and more.
Jézus pedig gyarapodott bölcsességben, testben és az Isten és emberek előtti kedvességben.
