Luke 2
1 In those days Augustus Caesar issued an edict for a census of the whole inhabited world.
V té době nařídil císař Augustus, aby bylo provedeno sčítání lidu v celé římské říši.
2 This was the first census, When Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Byl to první soupis a prováděl ho římský místodržitel v Sýrii Quirinius.
3 And every one went to be registered, each to the town to which he belonged.
Každý byl povinen dát se zapsat v místě, odkud pocházel jeho rod.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city if Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David.
Tak se vydal na cestu i Josef s Marií, která byla již ve vysokém stupni těhotenství. Putovali z galilejského Nazaretu do judského městečka Betléma, rodiště krále Davida; Josef totiž pocházel z jeho rodu.
5 He went to be registered along with Mary, who was espoused to him, and was pregnant.
6 But while they were there the days were fulfilled for her delivery.
Sotva tam došli, naplnil se Mariin čas
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.
a porodila svého prvorozeného syna. Zabalila ho do plenek a položila do jeslí, protože v hostinci bylo plno a jinde než ve chlévě už na ně nezbylo místo.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
Nedaleko Betléma pásli pastýři ovce. V noci se střídali v hlídkách u svých stád.
9 When suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they feared with a great fear. The angel said to them.
Najednou se před nimi objevil anděl a celá krajina se rozzářila odleskem Boží slávy. Velice se ho ulekli,
10 "Have no fear, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.
ale anděl je uklidňoval: „Nebojte se, nesu vám dobrou zprávu, ze které se mohou radovat všichni lidé.
11 "For unto you born this day in there is born in David’s town a Saviour, who is the Anointed Lord.
V Betlémě, ze kterého před dávnými časy vyšel David, se vám dnes narodil Kristus, Spasitel poslaný od Boha.
12 "And this is a sign to you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes lying in a manger."
Jak ho poznáte? Najdete malé dítě v plenkách, položené do jeslí v chlévě.“
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly army praising God and saying,
Potom se k andělu připojilo mnoho dalších andělů a všichni provolávali:
14 "Glory to God in the highest, And in earth peace among men who please him"
„Sláva Bohu na nebi! Pokoj lidem na zemi! Zjevil lásku všem!“
15 Now when the angels had left them, and gone away to heaven, the shepherds said to one to another, "Let us go now even to Bethlehem, and see this saying which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."
Andělé je opustili a pastýři si řekli: „Pojďme do Betléma a přesvědčme se o tom, co nám anděl oznámil.“
16 so they made haste, and came and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Rychle se vydali na cestu a skutečně našli Marii s Josefem i novorozeňátko položené v jeslích.
17 When they had seen, they made known about the words which had been spoken to them concerning the child.
Když je uviděli, začali vyprávět, co jim bylo pověděno o tom dítěti.
18 And all who heard it were astonished at the things which were told to them by the shepherds.
Všichni, kdo je slyšeli, se divili.
19 But Mary treasured up all those words, Often pondering on on them in her heart.
Marie si to zapamatovala a přemýšlela o tom.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying God and praising him for all those things that they had seen and heard, even as it was told to them.
Pastýři se vrátili ke svým stádům, radovali se a děkovali Bohu, že našli všechno tak, jak jim anděl oznámil.
21 When eight days had passed, and the time had come to circumcise him, he was called Jesus, the name given him by the angel before his conception in the womb.
Osmý den dali Marie s Josefem chlapce obřezat. Dostal jméno Ježíš, jak to anděl určil ještě před jeho narozením.
22 And when the days for purification according to the law of Moses had passed, they took him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
Mojžíšův zákon přikazoval, aby každá žena čtyřicátý den po narození chlapce přinesla oběť do chrámu.
23 as it is written in the law of Moses, Every firstborn male shall be called holy to the Lord.
24 And they also offered a sacrifice as commanded in the Law of the Lord A pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.
Proto i Marie po této době splnila tuto povinnost. Zároveň s sebou vzali i dítě, aby ho podle jiného Mojžíšova předpisu jako prvorozeného syna zasvětili Bohu.
25 Now there was in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon. He was righteous and devout, and was waiting for the consolation of Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him.
V Jeruzalémě žil zbožný stařec jménem Simeon. Řídil se Božími přikázáními a očekával Mesiáše.
26 Now it has been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Byl veden Duchem svatým, který ho také ujistil, že nezemře dříve, dokud Mesiáše na vlastní oči neuzří.
27 And he came into the Temple, led by the Spirit. and when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
Na pokyn Ducha přišel do chrámu právě ve chvíli, kdy rodiče zasvěcovali Ježíše Bohu.
28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
Simeon vzal dítě do náruče a modlil se:
29 "Now lettest thou thy slave depart, O Master; according to thy word in peace,
„Pane, děkuji ti, že jsi splnil svůj slib. Nyní mohu klidně zemřít,
30 "Because my eyes had seen the salvation,
protože jsem na vlastní oči viděl Spasitele,
31 "Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
kterého dáváš celému světu.
32 "A light for the unveiling of the Gentiles And the glory of thy people Israel."
Pohanům bude světlem a Izraeli slávou.“
33 And while his father and mother were marveling at the words that were spoken concerning him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother.
Josef a Marie se podivili tomu, co Simeon pověděl o dítěti.
34 "Behold this child is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
Potom jim požehnal a Marii ještě řekl: „Toto dítě bude příčinou pádu jedněch a vyvýšení druhých v Izraeli. On je znamení z nebe, proti kterému se mnozí postaví a tak prozradí svoje nejvnitřnější smýšlení.
35 Yea, and a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, that the thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."
Tvé vlastní srdce pronikne bolest jako meč.“
36 There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in age, having lived with her husband seven years, after her girlhood,
Byla tam také prorokyně Anna, dcera Fanuelova z rodu Ašerova. Po sedmiletém manželství ovdověla a nyní jí bylo čtyřiaosmdesát let. Nevycházela už vůbec z chrámu a její dny i noci byly naplněny službou Bohu, modlitbami a častými posty.
37 and then being a widow even for fourscore and four years. She departed not from the temple, but worshiped with the fasting and prayer, night and day.
38 She came up at that very hour, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
V tu chvíli k nim přistoupila i ona a děkovala za to dítě. Všem, kteří v Jeruzalémě vyhlíželi Spasitele, oznamovala, že očekávaný Mesiáš je již zde.
39 As soon as all that the law required had been done, they returned to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.
A tak Josef s Marií splnili, co přikazoval zákon. Později se vrátili do Nazaretu v Galileji.
40 And the child grew and became strong, becoming full of wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
Dítě rostlo, sílilo a bylo velice moudré. Všichni mohli poznat, že ho Bůh miluje.
41 Now his parents were accustomed to go up to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
Ježíšovi rodiče putovali každý rok do Jeruzaléma slavit velikonoční svátky.
42 And when he was twelve years old they went up, as was customary, at the time of the feast
Když bylo Ježíšovi dvanáct let, vzali ho poprvé s sebou.
43 After spending the full number of days they started home, but the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother did not know this,
Po slavnosti se všichni vydali na cestu domů, ale Ježíš zůstal bez vědomí rodičů v Jeruzalémě.
44 but supposed that he was in the company, and went a days journey. Then they hunted for him among his kinsfolk and acquaintance;
Ti ho zpočátku ani nepohřešovali. Domnívali se, že zůstal někde vzadu mezi poutníky, kteří s nimi měli stejnou cestu. Protože se však celý den neukázal, sháněli ho mezi příbuznými a známými.
45 and when they did not find him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for him.
Když ho nenašli, vrátili se do Jeruzaléma a hledali ho tam.
46 On the third day they found him sitting in the Temple, among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking questions.
Po třech dnech ho objevili v chrámu, jak sedí mezi učiteli zákona, naslouchá jim a hovoří k nim.
47 All that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Všichni, kdo ho slyšeli, žasli nad moudrostí, se kterou odpovídal na otázky.
48 When they saw him they were astonished, and his mother said to him "Child, why have you treated us so? Behold your father and I have been looking for you in anguish."
Rodiče tím byli překvapeni a matka mu vyčítala: „Chlapče, proč nám děláš takové starosti? Otec a já jsme tě hledali celí zoufalí.“
49 He answered, "Why is it that you have been looking for me, did you not realize that I had to be in my Father’s house?"
Ježíš jim odpověděl: „Proč jste mne hledali? Cožpak nevíte, že musím být tam, kde se jedná o záležitosti mého Otce?“
50 But they did not understand the words that he spoke to them.
Ale oni nepochopili, co tím mínil.
51 Then he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was always obedient to them. But his mother kept treasuring up all these incidents in her hearts.
Ježíš se pak s rodiči vrátil do Nazaretu a poslouchal je. Jeho matka si všechny takové události dobře zapamatovala.
52 And Jesus was ever advancing in wisdom and in status and in favor with God and man.
S Ježíšovým věkem rostla i jeho moudrost a byl milý Bohu i lidem.
