Lukas 2
1 Pada waktu itu Kaisar Agustus mengeluarkan suatu perintah, menyuruh mendaftarkan semua orang di seluruh dunia.
About that time an edict was issued by the Emperor Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole Empire.
2 Inilah pendaftaran yang pertama kali diadakan sewaktu Kirenius menjadi wali negeri di Siria.
(This was the first census taken while Quirinius was Governor of Syria).
3 Maka pergilah semua orang mendaftarkan diri, masing-masing di kotanya sendiri.
And everyone went to his own town to be registered.
4 Demikian juga Yusuf pergi dari kota Nazaret di Galilea ke Yudea, ke kota Daud yang bernama Betlehem, --karena ia berasal dari keluarga dan keturunan Daud--
Among others Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem, the town of David, in Judea – because he belonged to the family and house of David –
5 supaya didaftarkan bersama-sama dengan Maria, tunangannya, yang sedang mengandung.
to be registered with Mary, his engaged wife, who was about to become a mother.
6 Ketika mereka di situ tibalah waktunya bagi Maria untuk bersalin,
While they were there her time came,
7 dan ia melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, anaknya yang sulung, lalu dibungkusnya dengan lampin dan dibaringkannya di dalam palungan, karena tidak ada tempat bagi mereka di rumah penginapan.
and she gave birth to her first child, a son. And because there was no room for them in the inn, she swathed him around and laid him in a manger.
8 Di daerah itu ada gembala-gembala yang tinggal di padang menjaga kawanan ternak mereka pada waktu malam.
In that same countryside were shepherds out in the open fields, watching their flocks that night,
9 Tiba-tiba berdirilah seorang malaikat Tuhan di dekat mereka dan kemuliaan Tuhan bersinar meliputi mereka dan mereka sangat ketakutan.
when an angel of the Lord suddenly stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were seized with fear.
10 Lalu kata malaikat itu kepada mereka: "Jangan takut, sebab sesungguhnya aku memberitakan kepadamu kesukaan besar untuk seluruh bangsa:
“Have no fear,” the angel said. “For I bring you good news of a great joy in store for all the nation.
11 Hari ini telah lahir bagimu Juruselamat, yaitu Kristus, Tuhan, di kota Daud.
This day there has been born to you, in the town of David, a Savior, who is Christ and Lord.
12 Dan inilah tandanya bagimu: Kamu akan menjumpai seorang bayi dibungkus dengan lampin dan terbaring di dalam palungan."
And this will be the sign for you. You will find the infant swathed, and lying in a manger.”
13 Dan tiba-tiba tampaklah bersama-sama dengan malaikat itu sejumlah besar bala tentara sorga yang memuji Allah, katanya:
Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly Host, praising God, and singing –
14 "Kemuliaan bagi Allah di tempat yang mahatinggi dan damai sejahtera di bumi di antara manusia yang berkenan kepada-Nya."
“glory to God on high, and on earth peace among those in whom he finds pleasure.”
15 Setelah malaikat-malaikat itu meninggalkan mereka dan kembali ke sorga, gembala-gembala itu berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Marilah kita pergi ke Betlehem untuk melihat apa yang terjadi di sana, seperti yang diberitahukan Tuhan kepada kita."
Now, when the angels had left them and gone back to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, of which the Lord has told us.”
16 Lalu mereka cepat-cepat berangkat dan menjumpai Maria dan Yusuf dan bayi itu, yang sedang berbaring di dalam palungan.
So they went quickly, and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in a manger;
17 Dan ketika mereka melihat-Nya, mereka memberitahukan apa yang telah dikatakan kepada mereka tentang Anak itu.
and, when they saw it, they told of all that had been said to them about this child.
18 Dan semua orang yang mendengarnya heran tentang apa yang dikatakan gembala-gembala itu kepada mereka.
All who heard the shepherds were astonished at their story,
19 Tetapi Maria menyimpan segala perkara itu di dalam hatinya dan merenungkannya.
while Mary treasured in her heart all that they said, and thought about it often.
20 Maka kembalilah gembala-gembala itu sambil memuji dan memuliakan Allah karena segala sesuatu yang mereka dengar dan mereka lihat, semuanya sesuai dengan apa yang telah dikatakan kepada mereka.
And the shepherds went back, giving glory and praise to God for all that they had heard and seen. It had all happened as they had been told.
21 Dan ketika genap delapan hari dan Ia harus disunatkan, Ia diberi nama Yesus, yaitu nama yang disebut oleh malaikat sebelum Ia dikandung ibu-Nya.
Eight days after the birth of the child, when it was time to circumcise him, he received the name Jesus – the name given him by the angel before his conception.
22 Dan ketika genap waktu pentahiran, menurut hukum Taurat Musa, mereka membawa Dia ke Yerusalem untuk menyerahkan-Nya kepada Tuhan,
When the period of purification of mother and child, required by the Law of Moses, came to an end, his parents took the child up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
23 seperti ada tertulis dalam hukum Tuhan: "Semua anak laki-laki sulung harus dikuduskan bagi Allah",
in compliance with the Law of the Lord that every firstborn male will be dedicated to the Lord,
24 dan untuk mempersembahkan korban menurut apa yang difirmankan dalam hukum Tuhan, yaitu sepasang burung tekukur atau dua ekor anak burung merpati.
and also to offer the sacrifice required by the Law of the Lord – a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
25 Adalah di Yerusalem seorang bernama Simeon. Ia seorang yang benar dan saleh yang menantikan penghiburan bagi Israel. Roh Kudus ada di atasnya,
There was at that time in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, a righteous and devout man, who lived in constant expectation of Israel’s consulation, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
26 dan kepadanya telah dinyatakan oleh Roh Kudus, bahwa ia tidak akan mati sebelum ia melihat Mesias, yaitu Dia yang diurapi Tuhan.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Ia datang ke Bait Allah oleh Roh Kudus. Ketika Yesus, Anak itu, dibawa masuk oleh orang tua-Nya untuk melakukan kepada-Nya apa yang ditentukan hukum Taurat,
Moved by the Spirit, Simeon came into the Temple Courts, and, when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the Law,
28 ia menyambut Anak itu dan menatang-Nya sambil memuji Allah, katanya:
Simeon himself took the child in his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 "Sekarang, Tuhan, biarkanlah hamba-Mu ini pergi dalam damai sejahtera, sesuai dengan firman-Mu,
“Now, Lord, you will let your servant go, according to your word, in peace,
30 sebab mataku telah melihat keselamatan yang dari pada-Mu,
for my eyes have seen the salvation
31 yang telah Engkau sediakan di hadapan segala bangsa,
which you have prepared in the sight of all nations –
32 yaitu terang yang menjadi penyataan bagi bangsa-bangsa lain dan menjadi kemuliaan bagi umat-Mu, Israel."
a light to bring light to the Gentiles, and to be the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Dan bapa serta ibu-Nya amat heran akan segala apa yang dikatakan tentang Dia.
While the child’s father and mother were wondering at what was said about him,
34 Lalu Simeon memberkati mereka dan berkata kepada Maria, ibu Anak itu: "Sesungguhnya Anak ini ditentukan untuk menjatuhkan atau membangkitkan banyak orang di Israel dan untuk menjadi suatu tanda yang menimbulkan perbantahan
Simeon gave them his blessing, and said to Mary, the child’s mother, “This child is appointed to be the cause of the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign much spoken against –
35 --dan suatu pedang akan menembus jiwamu sendiri--, supaya menjadi nyata pikiran hati banyak orang."
Yes, the sword will pierce your own heart – and so the thoughts in many minds will be disclosed.”
36 Lagipula di situ ada Hana, seorang nabi perempuan, anak Fanuel dari suku Asyer. Ia sudah sangat lanjut umurnya. Sesudah kawin ia hidup tujuh tahun lamanya bersama suaminya,
There was also a prophet named Hannah, a daughter of Phanuel and of the tribe of Asher. She was far advanced in years, having lived with her husband for seven years after marriage,
37 dan sekarang ia janda dan berumur delapan puluh empat tahun. Ia tidak pernah meninggalkan Bait Allah dan siang malam beribadah dengan berpuasa dan berdoa.
and then a widow, until she had reached the age of eighty-four. She never left the Temple Courts, but, fasting and praying, worshiped God night and day.
38 Dan pada ketika itu juga datanglah ia ke situ dan mengucap syukur kepada Allah dan berbicara tentang Anak itu kepada semua orang yang menantikan kelepasan untuk Yerusalem.
At that moment she came up, and began publicly to thank God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the deliverance of Jerusalem.
39 Dan setelah selesai semua yang harus dilakukan menurut hukum Tuhan, kembalilah mereka ke kota kediamannya, yaitu kota Nazaret di Galilea.
When the child’s parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
40 Anak itu bertambah besar dan menjadi kuat, penuh hikmat, dan kasih karunia Allah ada pada-Nya.
The child grew and became strong and wise, and the blessing of God was on him.
41 Tiap-tiap tahun orang tua Yesus pergi ke Yerusalem pada hari raya Paskah.
Every year the child’s parents used to go to Jerusalem at the Passover Festival.
42 Ketika Yesus telah berumur dua belas tahun pergilah mereka ke Yerusalem seperti yang lazim pada hari raya itu.
When Jesus was twelve years old, they went according to custom to Jerusalem,
43 Sehabis hari-hari perayaan itu, ketika mereka berjalan pulang, tinggallah Yesus di Yerusalem tanpa diketahui orang tua-Nya.
and had finished their visit; but, when they started to return, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, without their knowing it.
44 Karena mereka menyangka bahwa Ia ada di antara orang-orang seperjalanan mereka, berjalanlah mereka sehari perjalanan jauhnya, lalu mencari Dia di antara kaum keluarga dan kenalan mereka.
Thinking that he was with their fellow travelers, they went one day’s journey before searching for him among their relatives and acquaintances;
45 Karena mereka tidak menemukan Dia, kembalilah mereka ke Yerusalem sambil terus mencari Dia.
and then, as they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching everywhere for him.
46 Sesudah tiga hari mereka menemukan Dia dalam Bait Allah; Ia sedang duduk di tengah-tengah alim ulama, sambil mendengarkan mereka dan mengajukan pertanyaan-pertanyaan kepada mereka.
It was not until the third day that they found him in the Temple Courts, sitting among the teachers, now listening to them, now asking them questions.
47 Dan semua orang yang mendengar Dia sangat heran akan kecerdasan-Nya dan segala jawab yang diberikan-Nya.
All who listened to him marveled at his intelligence and his answers.
48 Dan ketika orang tua-Nya melihat Dia, tercenganglah mereka, lalu kata ibu-Nya kepada-Nya: "Nak, mengapakah Engkau berbuat demikian terhadap kami? Bapa-Mu dan aku dengan cemas mencari Engkau."
His parents were amazed when they saw him, and his mother said to him, “My child, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”
49 Jawab-Nya kepada mereka: "Mengapa kamu mencari Aku? Tidakkah kamu tahu, bahwa Aku harus berada di dalam rumah Bapa-Ku?"
“What made you search for me?” he answered. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 Tetapi mereka tidak mengerti apa yang dikatakan-Nya kepada mereka.
His parents did not understand what he meant.
51 Lalu Ia pulang bersama-sama mereka ke Nazaret; dan Ia tetap hidup dalam asuhan mereka. Dan ibu-Nya menyimpan semua perkara itu di dalam hatinya.
However he went down with them to Nazareth, and submitted himself to their control; and his mother treasured all that was said in her heart.
52 Dan Yesus makin bertambah besar dan bertambah hikmat-Nya dan besar-Nya, dan makin dikasihi oleh Allah dan manusia.
And Jesus grew in wisdom as he grew in years, and gained the blessing of God and people.
