Lukáš 2
1 I stalo se v těch dnech, vyšlo jest vyrčení od císaře Augusta, aby byl popsán všecken svět.
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].
2 (To popsání nejprve stalo se, když vladařem Syrským byl Cyrenius.)
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.
3 I šli všickni, aby zapsáni byli, jeden každý do svého města.
Every person had to go to the town where his [most famous ancestor] had lived, so that [the officials] could write down their names.
4 Vstoupil pak i Jozef od Galilee z města Nazarétu do Judstva, do města Davidova, kteréž slove Betlém, (protože byl z domu a z čeledi Davidovy, )
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].
5 Aby zapsán byl s Marijí, zasnoubenou sobě manželkou, těhotnou.
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].
6 I stalo se, když tam byli, naplnili se dnové Marie, aby porodila.
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.
7 I porodila Syna svého prvorozeného, a plénkami ho obvinula, a položila jej v jeslech, neb neměli jinde místa v hospodě.
8 A pastýři byli v krajině té, ponocujíce a stráž noční držíce nad svým stádem.
That night, there were [some] shepherds who were taking care of their sheep [as usual] in the fields near [Bethlehem].
9 A aj, anděl Páně postavil se podle nich, a sláva Páně osvítila je. I báli se bázní velikou.
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.
10 Tedy řekl jim anděl: Nebojtež se; nebo aj, zvěstuji vám radost velikou, kteráž bude všemu lidu.
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].
11 Nebo narodil se vám dnes Spasitel, jenž jest Kristus Pán, v městě Davidově.
[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!
12 A toto vám bude za znamení: Naleznete nemluvňátko plénkami obvinuté, a ležící v jeslech.
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.”
13 A hned s andělem zjevilo se množství rytířstva nebeského, chválících Boha a řkoucích:
Suddenly a large group of angels from heaven appeared and joined the other angel. They all praised God, singing/saying,
14 Sláva na výsostech Bohu, a na zemi pokoj, lidem dobrá vůle.
“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]!”
15 I stalo se, jakž odešli od nich andělé do nebe, že ti lidé, totiž pastýři, řekli vespolek: Pojďme až do Betléma a vizme tu věc, jenž se stala, o níž Pán oznámil nám.
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!”
16 I přišli, chvátajíce, a nalezli Mariji a Jozefa, a nemluvňátko ležící v jeslech.
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.
17 A viděvše, rozhlašovali to, což jim povědíno bylo o tom dítěti.
Then they told [Mary and Joseph and others] what had been told them {what [the angel] had told them} about this child.
18 I divili se všickni, kteříž slyšeli o tom, což bylo mluveno od pastýřů k nim.
Everyone who heard what was said by the shepherds {what the shepherds said} to them was amazed.
19 Ale Maria zachovávala všecka slova tato, skládajici je v srdci svém.
But Mary [did not talk to others about what the angels said]; she just kept thinking very much about it.
20 I navrátili se pastýři, velebíce a chválíce Boha ze všeho, což slyšeli a viděli, tak jakž bylo povědíno jim.
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.
21 A když se naplnilo dní osm, aby obřezáno bylo dítě, nazváno jest jméno jeho Ježíš, kterýmž bylo nazváno od anděla, prve než se v životě počalo.
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.
22 A když se naplnili dnové očišťování Marie podle Zákona Mojžíšova, přinesli jej do Jeruzaléma, aby ho postavili přede Pánem,
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.
23 (Jakož psáno jest v Zákoně Páně, že každý pacholík, otvíraje život, svatý Pánu slouti bude, )
24 A aby dali obět, jakož povědíno jest v Zákoně Páně, dvě hrdličky anebo dvé holoubátek.
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].
25 A aj, člověk jeden byl v Jeruzalémě, jemuž jméno Simeon. A člověk ten byl spravedlivý a nábožný, očekávající potěšení Izraelského, a Duch svatý byl v něm.
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].
26 A bylo jemu zjeveno od Ducha svatého, že neuzří smrti, až by prve uzřel Krista Páně.
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.
27 Ten přišel, ponuknut jsa od Ducha Páně, do chrámu. A když uvodili dítě Ježíše rodičové, aby učinili podle obyčeje Zákona za něj,
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].
28 Tedy on vzal jej na lokty své, i chválil Boha a řekl:
So he took Jesus up in his arms and praised God, saying,
29 Nyní propouštíš služebníka svého, Pane, podle slova svého v pokoji.
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.
30 Neboť jsou viděly oči mé spasení tvé,
31 Kteréž jsi připravil před obličejem všech lidí,
32 Světlo k zjevení národům a slávu lidu tvého Izraelského.
33 Otec pak a matka jeho divili se těm věcem, kteréž praveny byly o něm.
His parents marveled about what [Simeon] said about [Jesus]. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary,
34 I požehnal jim Simeon, a řekl k Mariji, matce jeho: Aj, položen jest tento ku pádu a ku povstání mnohým v Izraeli, a na znamení, kterémužto bude odpíráno,
“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.
35 (A tvou vlastní duši pronikne meč, ) aby zjevena byla z mnohých srdcí myšlení.
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).”
36 Byla také Anna prorokyně, dcera Fanuelova z pokolení Aser. Ta se byla zstarala ve dnech mnohých, a živa byla s mužem svým sedm let od panenství svého.
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.
37 A ta vdova byla, mající let okolo osmdesáti a čtyř, kteráž nevycházela z chrámu, posty a modlitbami sloužeci Bohu dnem i nocí.
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.
38 A ta v touž hodinu přišedši, chválila Pána, a mluvila o něm všechněm, kteříž čekali vykoupení v Jeruzalémě.
[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].
39 Oni pak, jakž vykonali všecko podle Zákona Páně, vrátili se do Galilee, do města svého Nazaréta.
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].
40 Dítě pak rostlo a posilovalo se v duchu, plné moudrosti, a milost Boží byla v něm.
As Jesus grew up, he became strong and very wise, and God was very pleased with him.
41 I chodívali rodičové jeho každého roku do Jeruzaléma na den slavný velikonoční.
Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem to [celebrate] the Passover festival.
42 A když byl ve dvanácti letech, a oni vstupovali do Jeruzaléma, podle obyčeje toho dne svátečního,
So when Jesus was twelve years old, they went up [to Jerusalem] as they always did.
43 A když vykonali dni, a již se navracovali, zůstalo dítě Ježíš v Jeruzalémě, a nevěděli o tom Jozef a matka jeho.
When the celebration ended, his parents started to return home, but Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. [His parents] did not realize that [Jesus stayed there].
44 Domnívajíce se pak o něm, že by byl v zástupu, ušli den cesty. I hledali ho mezi příbuznými a známými.
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.
45 A nenalezše jeho, navrátili se do Jeruzaléma, hledajíce ho.
They did not find him, so they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.
46 I stalo se po třech dnech, že nalezli jej v chrámě, an sedí mezi doktory, poslouchaje jich a otazuje se jich.
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.
47 A děsili se všickni, kteříž jej slyšeli, nad rozumností a odpovědmi jeho.
Everyone who heard what he [said] was amazed at how much he understood and [how well] he answered [the questions that the teachers asked].
48 A uzřevše ho, ulekli se. I řekla matka jeho k němu: Synu, proč jsi nám tak učinil? Aj, otec tvůj a já s bolestí hledali jsme tebe.
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!”
49 I řekl k nim: Co jest, že jste mne hledali? Zdaliž jste nevěděli, že v těch věcech, kteréž jsou Otce mého, musím já býti?
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]”
50 Ale oni nesrozuměli těm slovům, kteráž k nim mluvil.
But they did not understand [the meaning of] what he said to them.
51 I šel s nimi, a přišel do Nazarétu, a byl poddán jim. Matka pak jeho zachovávala všecka slova ta v srdci svém.
Then he returned with them down to Nazareth. He always obeyed them. But his mother kept thinking about all those things.
52 A Ježíš prospíval moudrostí, a věkem, a milostí, u Boha i u lidí.
[As the years passed], Jesus continued to become wiser and he grew taller. God and people continued to approve of him more and more.
