Luka 2
1 U one dane izađe naredba cara Augusta da se provede popis svega svijeta.
Now it came to pass, in those days, that there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, for all the inhabited earth to be enrolled:
2 Bijaše to prvi popis izvršen za Kvirinijeva upravljanja Sirijom.
this enrolment, first was made while Cyrenius was governor of Syria:
3 Svi su išli na popis, svaki u svoj grad.
and all were journeying to be enrolled, each one unto his own city.
4 Tako i Josip, budući da je bio iz doma i loze Davidove, uziđe iz Galileje, iz grada Nazareta, u Judeju - u grad Davidov, koji se zove Betlehem -
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of a city Nazareth, into Judaea, into the city of David which is called Bethlehem; because he was of the house and family of David:
5 da se podvrgne popisu zajedno sa svojom zaručnicom Marijom koja bijaše trudna.
to enrol himself with Mary who was betrothed to him, she being with child.
6 I dok se bili ondje, navršilo joj se vrijeme da rodi.
And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days were fulfilled for her to give birth;
7 I porodi sina svoga, prvorođenca, povi ga i položi u jasle jer za njih nije bilo mjesta u svratištu.
and she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 A u tom kraju bijahu pastiri: pod vedrim su nebom čuvali noćnu stražu kod svojih stada.
And there were, shepherds, in the same country, dwelling in the fields, and keeping the watches of the night over their flock.
9 Anđeo im Gospodnji pristupi i slava ih Gospodnja obasja! Silno se prestrašiše.
And, a messenger of the Lord, stood over them, and, a glory of the Lord, shone round about them; and they feared, a great fear.
10 No anđeo im reče: “Ne bojte se! Evo javljam vam blagovijest, veliku radost za sav narod!
And the messenger said unto them—Be not afraid! For lo! I bring you good tidings of a great joy, the which shall be for all the people:
11 Danas vam se u gradu Davidovu rodio Spasitelj - Krist, Gospodin.
That there hath been born unto you, this day, a saviour, —Who is Christ the Lord—in the city of David!
12 I evo vam znaka: naći ćete novorođenče povijeno gdje leži u jaslama.”
And, this, to you is, a sign: Ye shall find a babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.
13 I odjednom se anđelu pridruži silna nebeska vojska hvaleći Boga i govoreći:
And, suddenly, there came to be, with the messenger, the throng of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying—
14 “Slava na visinama Bogu, a na zemlji mir ljudima, miljenicima njegovim!”
Glory, in the highest, unto God! And, on earth, peace, among men of goodwill.
15 Čim anđeli otiđoše od njih na nebo, pastiri stanu poticati jedni druge: “Hajdemo dakle do Betlehema. Pogledajmo što se to dogodilo, događaj koji nam obznani Gospodin.”
And it came to pass, when the messengers had departed from them into heaven, that, the shepherds, began to say one to another—Let us go through forthwith as far as to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.
16 I pohite te pronađu Mariju, Josipa i novorođenče gdje leži u jaslama.
And they came, with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
17 Pošto sve pogledaše, ispripovijediše što im bijaše rečeno o tom djetetu.
Now, when they beheld, they made known concerning the thing which had been told them as to this child.
18 A svi koji su to čuli divili se tome što su im pripovijedali pastiri.
And, all who heard, marvelled concerning the things which had been told by the shepherds unto them;
19 Marija u sebi pohranjivaše sve te događaje i prebiraše ih u svome srcu.
but, Mary, was closely observing, all, these things, putting them together in her heart.
20 Pastiri se zatim vratiše slaveći i hvaleći Boga za sve što su čuli i vidjeli kako im je bilo rečeno.
And the shepherds returned, giving glory and singing praise unto God, over all things which they had heard and seen, according as it had been told unto them.
21 Kad se navršilo osam dana da bude obrezan, nadjenuše mu ime Isus, kako ga je bio prozvao anđeo prije njegova začeća.
And, when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, then was his name called, Jesus, —which it was called by the messenger, before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Kad se zatim po Mojsijevu Zakonu navršiše dani njihova čišćenja, poniješe ga u Jeruzalem da ga prikažu Gospodinu -
And, when the days of their purification, according to the law of Moses, were fulfilled, they took him up into Jerusalem, to present [him] unto the Lord, —
23 kao što piše u Zakonu Gospodnjem: Svako muško prvorođenče neka se posveti Gospodinu! -
according as it is written in the law of the Lord—Every male that is a firstborn, Holy unto the Lord, shall be called,
24 i da prinesu žrtvu kako je rečeno u Zakonu Gospodnjem: dvije grlice ili dva golubića.
and to give a sacrifice, according to that which is said in the law of the Lord—A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.
25 Živio tada u Jeruzalemu čovjek po imenu Šimun. Taj čovjek, pravedan i bogobojazan, iščekivaše Utjehu Izraelovu i Duh Sveti bijaše na njemu.
And lo! there was, a man, in Jerusalem, whose name, was Symeon; and, this man, was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and Holy Spirit was upon him;
26 Objavio mu Duh Sveti da neće vidjeti smrti dok ne vidi Pomazanika Gospodnjega.
and it had been intimated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
27 Ponukan od Duha, dođe u Hram. I kad roditelji uniješe dijete Isusa da obave što o njemu propisuje Zakon,
And he came, in the Spirit, into the temple; and, when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do according to that which was customary by the law concerning it,
28 primi ga on u naručje, blagoslovi Boga i reče:
even he, welcomed it into his arms, and blessed God, and said—
29 “Sad otpuštaš slugu svojega, Gospodaru, po riječi svojoj, u miru!
Now, dost thou dismiss thy servant, O Sovereign, according to thy declaration—in peace;
30 Ta vidješe oči moje spasenje tvoje,
Because mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 koje si pripravio pred licem svih naroda:
Which thou hast prepared in face of all the peoples:
32 svjetlost na prosvjetljenje naroda, slavu puka svoga izraelskoga.”
A light for the unveiling of nations, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Otac njegov i majka divili se što se to o njemu govori.
And his father and mother were marvelling over the things which were being spoken concerning him.
34 Šimun ih blagoslovi i reče Mariji, majci njegovoj: “Ovaj je evo postavljen na propast i uzdignuće mnogima u Izraelu i za znak osporavan -
And Symeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother—Lo! this one, is being set for the falling and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign to be spoken against;
35 a i tebi će samoj mač probosti dušu - da se razotkriju namisli mnogih srdaca!”
And, thou! through thy very soul, shall pass a sword, that, reasonings, may be revealed, out of many hearts.
36 A bijaše neka proročica Ana, kći Penuelova, iz plemena Ašerova, žena veoma odmakla u godinama. Nakon djevojaštva živjela je s mužem sedam godina,
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; —the same, advanced in many days; having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
37 a sama kao udovica do osamdeset i četvrte. Nije napuštala Hrama, nego je postovima i molitvama danju i noću služila Bogu.
and, she, had been a widow for as long as eighty-four years, —who left not the temple, with fastings and supplications, rendering divine service night and day; —
38 Upravo u taj čas nadođe. Hvalila je Boga i svima koji iščekivahu otkupljenje Jeruzalema pripovijedala o djetetu.
and, in that very hour, coming near, she began to give thanks unto God, and to speak concerning him unto all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 Kad obaviše sve po Zakonu Gospodnjem, vratiše se u Galileju, u svoj grad Nazaret.
And, when they had finished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, into their own city, Nazareth.
40 A dijete je raslo, jačalo i napunjalo se mudrosti i milost je Božja bila na njemu.
And, the child, went on growing, and waxing strong, becoming filled with wisdom; and, the favour of God, was upon it.
41 Njegovi su roditelji svake godine o blagdanu Pashe išli u Jeruzalem.
And his parents used to journey yearly into Jerusalem, at the feast of the passover.
42 Kad mu bijaše dvanaest godina, uziđoše po običaju blagdanskom.
And, when he became twelve years, and they went up, according to the custom of the feast,
43 Kad su minuli ti dani, vraćahu se oni, a dječak Isus osta u Jeruzalemu, a da nisu znali njegovi roditelji.
and completed the days, and then were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, —and his parents noticed it not;
44 Uvjereni da je među suputnicima, odoše dan hoda, a onda ga stanu tražiti među rodbinom i znancima.
but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day’s journey, and then began to seek for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances,
45 I kad ga ne nađu, vrate se u Jeruzalem tražeći ga.
and, not finding him, returned unto Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Nakon tri dana nađoše ga u Hramu gdje sjedi posred učitelja, sluša ih i pita.
And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting amidst the teachers, —both hearkening unto them, and questioning them.
47 Svi koji ga slušahu bijahu zaneseni razumnošću i odgovorima njegovim.
Now all who heard him were beside themselves, because of his understanding and his answers.
48 Kad ga ugledaše, zapanjiše se, a majka mu njegova reče: “Sinko, zašto si nam to učinio? Gle, otac tvoj i ja žalosni smo te tražili.”
And, when they behold him, they were astounded, and his mother said unto him—Child! why, hast thou dealt with us, thus? Lo! thy father and I, in anguish, were seeking thee.
49 A on im reče: “Zašto ste me tražili? Niste li znali da mi je biti u onome što je Oca mojega?”
And he said unto them—Why was it that ye were seeking me? Perceived ye not, that, in the courts of my Father, I must needs be?
50 Oni ne razumješe riječi koju im reče.
And, they, understood not the thing which he spake to them.
51 I siđe s njima, dođe u Nazaret i bijaše im poslušan. A majka je njegova brižno čuvala sve ove uspomene u svom srcu.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was submitting himself unto them. And, his mother, was closely observing all these things in her heart.
52 A Isus napredovaše u mudrosti, dobi i milosti kod Boga i ljudi.
And, Jesus, went on advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.
