Lukas 2
1 Pada waktu itu Kaisar Agustus memerintahkan agar semua warga negara Kerajaan Roma mendaftarkan diri untuk sensus.
And it came to pass in those days, that there went forth a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the inhabitants of the land should be enrolled.
2 Sensus yang pertama ini dijalankan waktu Kirenius menjadi gubernur negeri Siria.
This enrollment first took place when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.
3 Semua orang pada waktu itu pergi untuk didaftarkan di kotanya masing-masing.
And all went to be enrolled, each one to his own city.
4 Yusuf pun berangkat dari Nazaret di Galilea, ke Betlehem di Yudea, tempat lahir Raja Daud; sebab Yusuf keturunan Daud.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (for he was of the house and family of David, ).
5 Yusuf mendaftarkan diri bersama Maria tunangannya, yang sedang hamil.
to be enrolled with Mary his betrothed wife, who was with child.
6 Ketika mereka di Betlehem tibalah waktunya bagi Maria untuk bersalin.
And it came to pass while they were there, that the days for her to be delivered were completed;
7 Ia melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, anaknya yang sulung. Anak itu dibungkusnya dengan kain, lalu diletakkan di dalam palung berisi jerami; sebab mereka tidak mendapat tempat untuk menginap.
and she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swathing-clothes, and laid him in the stable, because there was no place for them in the inn.
8 Pada malam itu ada gembala-gembala yang sedang menjaga domba-dombanya di padang rumput di daerah itu.
And there were in the same country shepherds, living in the open field, and guarding their flock by night.
9 Tiba-tiba malaikat Tuhan menampakkan diri kepada mereka, dan cahaya terang dari Tuhan bersinar menerangi mereka, dan mereka sangat ketakutan.
And, behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were greatly afraid.
10 Tetapi malaikat itu berkata, "Jangan takut! Sebab saya datang membawa kabar baik untuk kalian--kabar yang sangat menggembirakan semua orang.
And the angel said to them: Be not afraid; for, behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which shall be for all people.
11 Hari ini di kota Daud telah lahir Raja Penyelamatmu yaitu Kristus, Tuhan.
For there is born for you this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 Inilah tandanya: Kalian akan menjumpai seorang bayi dibungkus dengan kain, dan berbaring di dalam sebuah palung."
And this shall be to you the sign: you will find the babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, and lying in a stable.
13 Tiba-tiba malaikat itu disertai banyak malaikat lain, yang memuji Allah. Mereka berkata,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying:
14 "Terpujilah Allah di langit yang tertinggi! Dan di atas bumi, sejahteralah manusia yang menyenangkan hati Tuhan!"
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men.
15 Setelah malaikat-malaikat meninggalkan mereka dan kembali ke surga, gembala-gembala itu berkata satu sama lain, "Mari kita ke Betlehem dan melihat peristiwa yang terjadi itu, yang diberitahukan Tuhan kepada kita."
And it came to pass, that, after the angels had gone away into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
16 Mereka segera pergi, lalu menjumpai Maria dan Yusuf, serta bayi itu yang sedang berbaring di dalam palung.
And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the stable.
17 Ketika para gembala melihat bayi itu, mereka menceritakan apa yang dikatakan para malaikat tentang bayi itu.
And after they had seen it, they made known everywhere the words that had been spoken to them of this child.
18 Dan semua orang heran mendengar cerita para gembala itu.
And all that heard, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 Tetapi Maria menyimpan semua itu di dalam hatinya dan merenungkannya.
But Mary kept all these things in her mind, and pondered them in her heart.
20 Gembala-gembala itu kembali ke padang rumput sambil memuji dan memuliakan Allah, karena semua yang telah mereka dengar dan lihat, tepat seperti yang dikatakan oleh malaikat.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen, as it had been told to them.
21 Sesudah berumur delapan hari, anak itu disunat. Dan mereka menamakannya Yesus, nama yang diberikan malaikat kepada-Nya sebelum Ia dikandung ibu-Nya.
And when eight days were completed for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, as it had been called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Tibalah saatnya Yusuf dan Maria menjalankan adat penyucian menurut hukum Musa. Jadi mereka membawa Anak itu ke Yerusalem untuk diserahkan kepada Tuhan.
And when the days for their purification were completed according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
23 Sebab di dalam Hukum Tuhan tertulis begini, "Setiap anak laki-laki yang sulung, harus diserahkan kepada Tuhan."
(as it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
24 Mereka juga bermaksud mempersembahkan kurban, yaitu sepasang burung tekukur atau dua ekor burung merpati yang muda, seperti yang ditentukan dalam Hukum Tuhan.
and to offer a sacrifice, according to that which is commanded in the law of the Lord: A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25 Pada waktu itu di Yerusalem ada seorang bernama Simeon. Ia orang baik, yang takut kepada Allah dan sedang menantikan saatnya Allah menyelamatkan Israel. Roh Allah menyertai dia,
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon. And this man was just and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him:
26 dan Roh Allah sudah memberitahukan kepadanya bahwa ia tidak akan mati sebelum melihat Raja Penyelamat yang dijanjikan Tuhan.
and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Anointed.
27 Oleh bimbingan Roh Allah, Simeon masuk ke Rumah Tuhan. Pada waktu itu Yusuf dan Maria membawa masuk Yesus, yang masih kecil itu untuk melakukan upacara yang diperintahkan hukum agama.
And he came by 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,
28 Maka Simeon mengambil Anak itu dan menggendong-Nya, lalu memuji Allah,
he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 "Sekarang, Tuhan, Engkau sudah menepati janji-Mu. Biarlah hamba-Mu ini meninggal dengan tentram.
Now, Lord, thou dost let thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word,
30 Sebab dengan mataku sendiri aku sudah melihat Penyelamat yang daripada-Mu.
for my eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Penyelamat itu Engkau telah siapkan untuk segala bangsa:
which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 bagaikan terang yang menerangi jalan bagi bangsa-bangsa yang lain, untuk datang kepada-Mu; yaitu terang yang mendatangkan kehormatan bagi umat-Mu Israel."
a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Ayah dan ibu Anak itu heran mendengar apa yang dikatakan Simeon tentang Anak mereka.
And Joseph and his mother wondered at the things which were spoken of him.
34 Simeon memberkati mereka dan berkata kepada Maria, ibu Anak itu, "Anak ini sudah dipilih oleh Allah untuk membinasakan dan untuk menyelamatkan banyak orang Israel. Ia akan menjadi tanda dari Allah, yang akan ditentang oleh banyak orang,
And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign to be spoken against,
35 dan dengan demikian terbongkarlah isi hati mereka. Kesedihan akan menusuk hatimu seperti pedang yang tajam."
(and a sword shall pierce through your own soul, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 Ada pula seorang nabi wanita yang sudah tua sekali. Namanya Hana, anak Fanuel, dari suku Asyer. Sesudah tujuh tahun kawin,
And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; she was of great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity:
37 Hana menjadi janda, dan sekarang berumur delapan puluh empat tahun. Tidak pernah ia meninggalkan Rumah Tuhan. Siang malam ia berbakti di situ kepada Allah dengan berdoa dan berpuasa.
and she was a widow of about eighty-four years, and she departed not from the temple, but served, day and night, with fastings and prayers.
38 Tepat pada waktu itu juga ia datang, lalu memuji Allah dan berbicara tentang Anak itu kepada semua orang yang menantikan saatnya Allah memerdekakan Yerusalem.
And she came in at that hour, and gave thanks to Lord, and spoke of him to all that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Setelah Yusuf dan Maria melakukan semua yang diwajibkan Hukum Tuhan, mereka pulang ke Nazaret di Galilea.
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 Anak itu bertambah besar dan kuat. Ia bijaksana sekali dan sangat dikasihi oleh Allah.
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Tiap-tiap tahun orang tua Yesus pergi ke Yerusalem untuk merayakan Hari Raya Paskah.
And his parents went up every year to Jerusalem, at the feast of passover.
42 Dan ketika Yesus berumur dua belas tahun, mereka pergi ke perayaan itu sesuai kebiasaan.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast.
43 Sehabis perayaan itu mereka pulang, tetapi Yesus, Anak itu, masih tinggal di Yerusalem, dan ayah ibu-Nya tidak tahu.
And when they had kept the full number of days, and had set out to return, the child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew it not.
44 Mereka menyangka Ia ikut dalam rombongan. Sesudah berjalan sepanjang hari barulah mereka mencari Dia di antara sanak saudara dan kenalan-kenalan mereka.
But supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their relatives and acquaintance;
45 Tetapi mereka tidak menjumpai-Nya, jadi mereka kembali ke Yerusalem mencari Dia.
and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
46 Setelah tiga hari mencari, mereka mendapati Dia di dalam Rumah Tuhan. Ia sedang duduk mendengarkan para guru agama dan mengajukan pertanyaan-pertanyaan.
And it came to pass, after three days, that they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 Semua orang yang mendengar Dia heran karena jawaban-jawaban-Nya yang cerdas.
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding, and his answers.
48 Orang tua-Nya pun heran melihat Dia. Ibu-Nya berkata kepada-Nya, "Nak, mengapa Kaulakukan ini kepada kami? Ayah-Mu dan ibu-Mu cemas mencari Engkau!"
And when they saw him they were amazed. And his mother said to him: Child, why have you acted thus toward us? Behold, your father and I have sought for you in sorrow.
49 Yesus menjawab, "Mengapa ayah dan ibu mencari Aku? Apakah ayah dan ibu tidak tahu bahwa Aku harus ada di dalam rumah Bapa-Ku?"
And he said to them: Why did you seek for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?
50 Tetapi mereka tidak mengerti jawaban Yesus.
And they did not understand the words which he spoke to them.
51 Kemudian Yesus pulang bersama mereka ke Nazaret, dan taat kepada mereka. Semua hal itu disimpan oleh ibu-Nya di dalam hatinya.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. And his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Yesus makin bertambah besar dan bertambah bijaksana, serta dikasihi oleh Allah dan disukai oleh manusia.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and with man.
