Lukas 2
1 Pada waktu Agustus menjabat sebagai raja agung Romawi, dia memberi perintah untuk mengadakan sensus penduduk di setiap provinsi Romawi, dengan tujuan agar semua penduduk membayar pajak.
Now it came about in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus that there was to be a numbering of all the world.
2 (Inilah sensus pertama yang diadakan waktu Kirenius menjabat sebagai gubernur provinsi Siria.)
This was the first numbering, which was made when Quirinius was ruler of Syria.
3 Maka setiap orang pergi ke kota asalnya untuk mendaftarkan diri dalam catatan pemerintah daerah.
And all men went to be numbered, everyone to his town.
4 Karena Yusuf adalah keturunan Daud, dia harus didaftarkan sebagai kepala keluarga di Betlehem, yang juga disebut kota Daud. Maka berangkatlah Yusuf bersama Maria tunangannya, dari kota Nazaret di provinsi Galilea ke kota Betlehem, yang termasuk provinsi Yudea. Pada waktu itu Maria sedang hamil.
And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the town of Nazareth, into Judaea, to Beth-lehem, the town of David, because he was of the house and family of David,
To be put on the list with Mary, his future wife, who was about to become a mother.
6 Ketika mereka berada di sana, tibalah waktunya bagi Maria untuk melahirkan.
And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.
7 Maria melahirkan anak pertamanya, seorang Bayi laki-laki. Dia membungkus-Nya dengan kain lampin yang panjang. Karena sensus masih berlangsung dan tidak ada rumah untuk menginap, mereka menginap berdekatan dengan hewan sehingga Maria membaringkan Bayinya itu di dalam kotak kayu tempat makanan ternak.
And she had her first son; and folding him in linen, she put him to rest in the place where the cattle had their food, because there was no room for them in the house.
8 Malam itu beberapa gembala sedang menjaga kawanan domba mereka di padang di luar kota Betlehem.
And in the same country there were keepers of sheep in the fields, watching over their flock by night.
9 Tiba-tiba muncullah malaikat di depan mereka. Cahaya kemuliaan TUHAN bersinar di sekeliling mereka, sehingga para gembala itu sangat ketakutan.
And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord was shining round about them: and fear came on them.
10 Kata malaikat itu kepada mereka, “Jangan takut! Saya menyampaikan kabar baik kepada kalian, suatu kabar yang akan membuat seluruh umat Israel bersukacita!
And the angel said, Have no fear; for truly, I give you good news of great joy which will be for all the people:
11 Hari ini di kota Daud, sudah lahir Raja Penyelamat kalian, yaitu Tuhan yang disebut juga Kristus.
For on this day, in the town of David, a Saviour has come to birth, who is Christ the Lord.
12 Inilah yang menjadi tanda bagi kalian: Kalian akan menemukan seorang Anak laki-laki yang dibungkus dengan kain lampin dan terbaring di dalam kotak kayu tempat makanan ternak.”
And this is the sign to you: you will see a young child folded in linen, in the place where the cattle have their food.
13 Tiba-tiba bersama malaikat itu tampaklah sangat banyak malaikat pengawal surgawi. Mereka memuji-muji Allah dan berkata,
And suddenly there was with the angel a great band of spirits from heaven, giving praise to God, and saying,
14 “Kemuliaan bagi Allah di tingkat surga yang tertinggi! Dan di dunia ini hendaklah setiap orang berbahagia dan merasa tenang dalam perlindungan Allah!”
Glory to God in the highest, and on the earth peace among men with whom he is well pleased.
15 Sesudah malaikat-malaikat itu meninggalkan mereka dan kembali ke surga, para gembala berkata satu sama lain, “Ayo, kita pergi ke Betlehem sekarang juga! Kita lihat apa yang sudah terjadi, yang baru saja diberitahukan TUHAN kepada kita.”
And when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the keepers of the sheep said to one another, Let us go now to Beth-lehem, and see this thing which has come about, which the Lord has made clear to us.
16 Mereka pun segera pergi ke sana lalu bertemu dengan Maria dan Yusuf. Mereka juga melihat Anak itu terbaring di dalam kotak kayu.
And they came quickly, and saw Mary and Joseph, and the child in the place where the cattle had their food.
17 Ketika para gembala mengunjungi Bayi itu, mereka memberitakan kepada penduduk Betlehem semua yang sudah diberitahukan malaikat tentang Anak itu.
And when they saw it, they gave them an account of the things which had been said to them about the child.
18 Semua orang yang mendengar cerita mereka terheran-heran.
And all those to whose ears it came were full of wonder at the things said by the keepers of the sheep.
19 Tetapi Maria menyimpan semua hal itu dalam hatinya dan terus memikirkan arti dari semuanya itu.
But Mary kept all these words in her heart, and gave much thought to them.
20 Kemudian para gembala tadi kembali ke kawanan domba mereka sambil memuliakan dan memuji-muji Allah karena yang sudah mereka lihat dan dengar. Semuanya persis seperti yang diberitahukan oleh malaikat itu kepada mereka.
Then the keepers of the sheep went back, giving glory and praise to God for all the things which had come to their ears and which they had seen, as it had been said to them.
21 Ketika Anak itu berumur seminggu, Dia disunat dan diberi nama Yesus, tepat seperti pesan yang disampaikan malaikat kepada Maria sebelum dia mengandung Yesus.
And when, after eight days, the time came for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name which the angel had given to him before his birth.
22 Empat puluh hari sesudah Yesus lahir, tibalah waktunya Maria dan Yusuf memberikan kurban penyucian di rumah Allah, seperti yang diperintahkan oleh hukum Taurat. Pada kesempatan itu mereka juga membawa Yesus ke Yerusalem dan menyerahkan Dia kepada Allah
And when the necessary days for making them clean by the law of Moses had come to an end, they took him to Jerusalem to give him to the Lord
23 sesuai dengan aturan yang tertulis dalam hukum TUHAN, “Setiap anak sulung laki-laki harus diserahkan bagi TUHAN.”
(As it says in the law of the Lord, Every mother's first male child is to be holy to the Lord),
24 Karena mereka tidak mampu membeli seekor anak domba untuk penyucian Maria, mereka mengikuti syarat kedua, yaitu “mempersembahkan sepasang burung tekukur atau dua ekor merpati muda.”
And to make an offering, as it is ordered in the law of the Lord, of two doves or other young birds.
25 Pada waktu itu di Yerusalem ada seorang laki-laki bernama Simeon. Dia orang yang hidup benar dan taat kepada TUHAN dengan sepenuh hati. Sudah lama dia menunggu saatnya Allah memulihkan umat Israel melalui pekerjaan Kristus, seperti yang dinubuatkan oleh para nabi. Roh Kudus menyertai dia dan
And there was then in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon; and he was an upright man, fearing God and waiting for the comfort of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was on him.
26 sudah menyatakan kepadanya bahwa dia tidak akan mati sebelum melihat Kristus.
And he had knowledge, through the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death till he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 Ketika Maria dan Yusuf membawa Yesus masuk ke teras rumah Allah untuk menyerahkan Anak mereka kepada TUHAN sesuai dengan peraturan hukum Taurat, Roh Kudus sudah menggerakkan hati Simeon untuk lebih dulu datang ke sana.
And full of the Spirit he came into the Temple; and when the father and mother came in with the child Jesus, to do with him what was ordered by the law,
28 Lalu Simeon menyambut bayi Yesus dan memangku-Nya sambil memuji Allah, katanya,
Then he took him in his arms and gave praise to God and said,
29 “Ya Allah Penguasaku, kini hamba-Mu ini dapat mati dengan tenang, karena Engkau sudah menepati janji-Mu kepadaku.
Now you are letting your servant go in peace, O Lord, as you have said;
30 Dengan mataku sendiri aku sudah melihat Anak yang Engkau persiapkan untuk menyelamatkan umat-Mu, bahkan orang-orang dari semua suku dan bangsa.
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
Which you have made ready before the face of all nations;
32 Anak ini bagaikan terang yang akan menyinari bangsa-bangsa bukan Yahudi yang hidup dalam kegelapan, dan Dia akan mendatangkan kemuliaan bagi umat-Mu Israel.”
A light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.
33 Yusuf dan Maria heran mendengar kata-kata Simeon tentang Anak mereka itu.
And his father and mother were full of wonder at the things which were said about him.
34 Lalu Simeon berdoa supaya Allah memberkati mereka. Kemudian dia berkata kepada Maria, “Dengarlah! Sesuai rencana Allah, melalui Anak ini banyak orang Israel akan jatuh dan dihukum oleh Allah. Dan melalui Anak ini juga banyak orang akan dibenarkan di hadapan Allah. Walaupun Dia diutus Allah, banyak orang akan menolak-Nya.
And Simeon gave them his blessing and said to Mary, his mother, See, this child will be the cause of the downfall and the lifting up of great numbers of people in Israel, and he will be a sign against which hard words will be said;
35 Melalui Dia, isi hati banyak orang akan disingkapkan. Dan karena Dia juga, suatu saat nanti hatimu akan terasa sakit seperti ditusuk dengan pedang yang tajam.”
(And a sword will go through your heart; ) so that the secret thoughts of men may come to light.
36 Di situ juga ada seorang nabi perempuan bernama Hana, anak Fanuel dari suku Asyer. Hana adalah janda yang sudah tua sekali. Suaminya meninggal sekitar delapan puluh empat tahun lalu, pada waktu pernikahan mereka berusia tujuh tahun. Sejak itu Hana tidak pernah menikah lagi dan hampir selalu berada di teras rumah Allah. Sepanjang hari dia beribadah di sana sambil berdoa dan berpuasa.
And there was one, Anna, a woman prophet, the daughter of Phanuel, of the family of Asher (she was very old, and after seven years of married life
She had been a widow for eighty-four years); she was in the Temple at all times, worshipping with prayers and going without food, night and day.
38 Pada waktu itu juga, Hana datang ke teras rumah Allah dan memuji TUHAN. Dia berbicara tentang Anak itu kepada orang-orang yang hadir di sana, yakni mereka yang menantikan saatnya Allah mengutus seorang Penyelamat untuk membebaskan Israel dan ibukotanya, Yerusalem.
And coming up at that time, she gave praise to God, talking of him to all those who were waiting for the freeing of Jerusalem.
39 Sesudah Yusuf dan Maria menyelesaikan semua syarat hukum TUHAN, mereka kembali ke kota Nazaret di provinsi Galilea.
And when they had done all the things which were ordered by the law of the Lord, they went back to Galilee, to Nazareth, the town where they were living.
40 Anak itu bertumbuh besar. Dia semakin dikuatkan dalam roh-Nya dan dipenuhi dengan hikmat. Kebaikan hati Allah selalu menyertai Dia.
And the child became tall and strong and full of wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.
41 Setiap tahun orangtua Yesus pergi ke Yerusalem untuk mengikuti perayaan Paskah.
And every year his father and mother went to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
42 Ketika Yesus berumur dua belas tahun, sesuai kebiasaan orang Yahudi mereka pergi ke Yerusalem untuk mengikuti perayaan itu.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up, as their way was, to the feast;
43 Setelah perayaan selesai, Yusuf dan Maria berangkat kembali ke Nazaret. Namun tanpa sepengetahuan mereka, Yesus masih tinggal di Yerusalem.
And when the days of the feast came to an end and they were going back, the boy Jesus was still in Jerusalem, but they had no knowledge of it:
44 Ibu-Nya dan Yusuf mengira Yesus berada di tengah rombongan yang pulang. Waktu rombongan mereka sudah berjalan seharian, Yusuf dan Maria mulai mencari Dia di antara kaum keluarga dan para kenalan mereka,
And in the belief that he was with some of their number, they went a day's journey; and after looking for him among their relations and friends,
45 tetapi Yesus tidak ada. Maka kembalilah mereka ke Yerusalem untuk mencari Dia.
And seeing that he was not there, they went back to Jerusalem, to make search for him.
46 Tiga hari kemudian, mereka menemukan Yesus di teras rumah Allah. Dia sedang duduk di antara ahli-ahli Taurat sambil mendengarkan dan mengajukan pertanyaan-pertanyaan kepada mereka.
And after three days they came across him in the Temple, seated among the wise men, giving ear to their words and putting questions to them.
47 Semua orang yang mendengar Yesus sangat heran karena pengetahuan dan jawaban-jawaban-Nya yang bijaksana waktu Dia menjawab pertanyaan dari para ahli Taurat.
And all to whose ears it came were full of wonder at his knowledge and the answers which he gave.
48 Ketika orangtua-Nya melihat Dia, mereka juga heran. Kata Maria kepada-Nya, “Kenapa Kamu berbuat begini kepada kami, Nak?! Beberapa hari ini aku dan ayah-Mu mencari-Mu ke mana-mana dengan sangat kuatir!”
And when they saw him they were surprised, and his mother said to him, Son, why have you done this to us? see, your father and I have been looking for you with sorrow.
49 Jawab Yesus kepada mereka, “Kenapa kalian mencari Aku? Seharusnya kalian tahu bahwa Aku pasti berada di rumah Bapa-Ku.”
And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house?
50 Tetapi mereka tidak mengerti jawaban-Nya itu.
And his words seemed strange to them.
51 Lalu Yesus pulang bersama mereka ke Nazaret dan Dia selalu taat kepada orangtua-Nya. Tetapi ibu-Nya menyimpan dan merenungkan semua kejadian itu dalam hatinya.
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth; and did as he was ordered: and his mother kept all these words in her heart.
52 Yesus semakin dewasa dan bertambah bijaksana, serta semakin berkenan di hadapan Allah dan juga manusia.
And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men.
