Luke 2
1 Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole empire should be enrolled.
| وَفِي ذلِكَ الزَّمَانِ، أَصْدَرَ الْقَيْصَرُ أُغُسْطُسُ مَرْسُوماً يَقْضِي بِإِحْصَاءِ سُكَّانِ الإِمْبِرَاطُورِيَّةِ. | ١ |
2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
| وَقَدْ تَمَّ هَذَا الإِحْصَاءُ الأَوَّلُ عِنْدَمَا كَانَ كِيرِينِيُوسُ حَاكِماً لِسُورِيَّةَ. | ٢ |
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
| فَذَهَبَ الْجَمِيعُ لِيُسَجَّلُوا، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى بَلْدَتِهِ. | ٣ |
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;
| وَصَعِدَ يُوسُفُ أَيْضاً مِنْ مَدِينَةِ النَّاصِرَةِ بِمِنْطَقَةِ الْجَلِيلِ إِلَى مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ الْمَدْعُوَّةِ بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ بِمِنْطَقَةِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ وَعَشِيرَتِهِ، | ٤ |
5 to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him, being pregnant.
| لِيَتَسَجَّلَ هُنَاكَ مَعَ مَرْيَمَ الْمَخْطُوبَةِ لَهُ، وَهِيَ حُبْلَى. | ٥ |
6 It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.
| وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَا هُنَاكَ، تَمَّ زَمَانُهَا لِتَلِدَ، | ٦ |
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him with pieces of cloth, and placed him in a feeding trough, because there was no guest room available for them.
| فَوَلَدَتِ ابْنَهَا الْبِكْرَ، وَلَفَّتْهُ بِقِمَاطٍ، وَأَنَامَتْهُ فِي مِذْوَدٍ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا مُتَّسَعٌ فِي الْمَنْزِلِ. | ٧ |
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
| وَكَانَ فِي تِلْكَ الْمِنْطَقَةِ رُعَاةٌ يَبِيتُونَ فِي الْعَرَاءِ، يَتَنَاوَبُونَ حِرَاسَةَ قَطِيعِهِمْ فِي اللَّيْلِ. | ٨ |
9 And look, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
| وَإذَا مَلاكٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ قَدْ ظَهَرَ لَهُمْ، وَمَجْدُ الرَّبِّ أَضَاءَ حَوْلَهُمْ، فَخَافُوا أَشَدَّ الْخَوْفِ. | ٩ |
10 The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for see, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمُ الْمَلاكُ: «لا تَخَافُوا! فَهَا أَنَا أُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِفَرَحٍ عَظِيمٍ يَعُمُّ الشَّعْبَ كُلَّهُ: | ١٠ |
11 For there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ, the Lord.
| فَقَدْ وُلِدَ لَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ مُخَلِّصٌ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ الرَّبُّ. | ١١ |
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
| وَهذِهِ هِيَ الْعَلامَةُ لَكُمْ. تَجِدُونَ طِفْلاً مَلْفُوفاً بِقِمَاطٍ وَنَائِماً فِي مِذْوَدٍ». | ١٢ |
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying,
| وَفَجْأَةً ظَهَرَ مَعَ الْمَلاكِ جُمْهُورٌ مِنَ الْجُنْدِ السَّمَاوِيِّ، يُسَبِّحُونَ اللهَ قَائِلِينَ: | ١٣ |
14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward humankind."
| «الْمَجْدُ لِلهِ فِي الأَعَالِي، وَعَلَى الأَرْضِ السَّلامُ؛ وَبِالنَّاسِ الْمَسَرَّةُ!» | ١٤ |
15 And it happened that when the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."
| وَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الْمَلائِكَةُ عَنِ الرُّعَاةِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لِنَذْهَبْ إِذَنْ إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ، وَنَنْظُرْ هَذَا الأَمْرَ الَّذِي حَدَثَ وَقَدْ أَعْلَمَنَا بِهِ الرَّبُّ!» | ١٥ |
16 They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
| وَجَاءُوا مُسْرِعِينَ، فَوَجَدُوا مَرْيَمَ وَيُوسُفَ، وَالطِّفْلَ نَائِماً فِي الْمِذْوَدِ. | ١٦ |
17 When they saw it, they made known the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذلِكَ، أَخَذُوا يُخْبِرُونَ بِمَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ بِخُصُوصِ هَذَا الطِّفْلِ. | ١٧ |
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
| وَجَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا بِذلِكَ دُهِشُوا مِمَّا قَالَهُ لَهُمُ الرُّعَاةُ. | ١٨ |
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
| وَأَمَّا مَرْيَمُ، فَكَانَتْ تَحْفَظُ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ جَمِيعاً، وَتَتَأَمَّلُهَا فِي قَلْبِهَا. | ١٩ |
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعَ الرُّعَاةُ يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا سَمِعُوهُ وَرَأَوْهُ كَمَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ. | ٢٠ |
21 When eight days were fulfilled to circumcise him, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
| وَلَمَّا تَمَّتْ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَيَّامٍ لِيُخْتَنَ الطِّفْلُ، سُمِّيَ يَسُوعَ، كَمَا كَانَ قَدْ سُمِّيَ بِلِسَانِ الْمَلاكِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُحْبَلَ بِهِ فِي الْبَطْنِ. | ٢١ |
22 When the days of their purification according to the Law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord
| ثُمَّ لَمَّا تَمَّتِ الأَيَّامُ لِتَطْهِيرِهَا حَسَبَ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى، صَعِدَا بِهِ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيُقَدِّمَاهُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، | ٢٢ |
23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb will be called holy to the Lord"),
| كَمَا كُتِبَ فِي شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ: «كُلُّ بِكْرٍ مِنَ الذُّكُورِ يُدْعَى قُدْساً لِلرَّبِّ»، | ٢٣ |
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the Law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."
| وَلِيُقَدِّمَا ذَبِيحَةً كَمَا يُوصَى فِي شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ: «زَوْجَيْ يَمَامٍ، أَوْ فَرْخَيْ حَمَامٍ». | ٢٤ |
25 And look, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
| وَكَانَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ سِمْعَانُ، وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ بَارٌّ تَقِيٌّ يَنْتَظِرُ الْعَزَاءَ لإِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَانَ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٥ |
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
| وَكَانَ الرُّوحُ الْقُدُسُ قَدْ أَوْحَى إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَرَى الْمَوْتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرَى مَسِيحَ الرَّبِّ، | ٢٦ |
27 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the requirement of the Law,
| وَقَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى الْهَيْكَلِ بِدَافِعٍ مِنَ الرُّوحِ. فَلَمَّا أَحْضَرَ الأَبَوَانِ الطِّفْلَ يَسُوعَ لِيُقَدِّمَا عَنْهُ مَا سُنَّ فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، | ٢٧ |
28 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
| حَمَلَهُ عَلَى ذِرَاعَيْهِ وَبَارَكَ اللهَ، وَقَالَ: | ٢٨ |
29 "Now you are releasing your servant, Lord, according to your word, in peace;
| «أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ، الآنَ تُطْلِقُ عَبْدَكَ بِسَلامٍ حَسَبَ وَعْدِكَ! | ٢٩ |
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
| فَإِنَّ عَيْنَيَّ قَدْ أَبْصَرَتَا خَلاصَكَ | ٣٠ |
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
| الَّذِي هَيَّأْتَهُ لِتُقَدِّمَهُ إِلَى الشُّعُوبِ كُلِّهَا، | ٣١ |
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel."
| نُورَ هِدَايَةٍ لِلأُمَمِ وَمَجْداً لِشَعْبِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٣٢ |
33 And his father and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him,
| وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ وَأُمُّهُ يَتَعَجَّبَانِ مِنْ هَذَا الْكَلامِ الَّذِي قِيلَ فِيهِ. | ٣٣ |
34 and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, "Look, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
| فَبَارَكَهُمَا سِمْعَانُ، وَقَالَ لِمَرْيَمَ أُمِّ الطِّفْلِ: «هَا إِنَّ هَذَا الطِّفْلَ قَدْ جُعِلَ لِسُقُوطِ كَثِيرِينَ وَقِيَامِ كَثِيرِينَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَعَلامَةً تُقَاوَمُ | ٣٤ |
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
| حَتَّى أَنْتِ سَيَخْتَرِقُ نَفْسَكِ سَيْفٌ لِكَيْ تَنْكَشِفَ نِيَّاتُ قُلُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ!» | ٣٥ |
36 There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
| وَكَانَتْ هُنَاكَ نَبِيَّةٌ، هِيَ حَنَّةُ بِنْتُ فَنُوئِيلَ مِنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ، وَهِيَ مُتَقَدِّمَةٌ فِي السِّنِّ، وَكَانَتْ قَدْ عَاشَتْ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا سَبْعَ سِنِينَ بَعْدَ عَذْرَاوِيَّتِهَا، | ٣٦ |
37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.
| وَهِيَ أَرْمَلَةٌ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعٍ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً. لَمْ تَكُنْ تُفَارِقُ الْهَيْكَلَ وَكَانَتْ تَتَعَبَّدُ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً بِالصَّوْمِ وَالدُّعَاءِ. | ٣٧ |
38 Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
| فَإِذْ حَضَرَتْ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ، أَخَذَتْ تُسَبِّحُ الرَّبَّ وَتَتَحَدَّثُ عَنْ يَسُوعَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَنْتَظِرُونَ فِدَاءً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٣٨ |
39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
| وَبَعْدَ إِتْمَامِ كُلِّ مَا تَقْتَضِيهِ شَرِيعَةُ الرَّبِّ، رَجَعُوا إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِمِ النَّاصِرَةِ بِالْجَلِيلِ. | ٣٩ |
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong, being filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.
| وَكَانَ الطِّفْلُ يَنْمُو وَيَتَقَوَّى، مُمْتَلِئاً حِكْمَةً، وَكَانَتْ نِعْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ. | ٤٠ |
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
| وَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ يَذْهَبَانِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي عِيدِ الْفِصْحِ. | ٤١ |
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the feast,
| فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ سِنَّ الثَّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ، صَعِدُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ كَالْعَادَةِ فِي الْعِيدِ. | ٤٢ |
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it,
| وَبَعْدَ انْتِهَاءِ أَيَّامِ الْعِيدِ، رَجَعَا، وَبَقِيَ الصَّبِيُّ يَسُوعُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَهُمَا لَا يَعْلَمَانِ. | ٤٣ |
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
| وَلكِنَّهُمَا إِذْ ظَنَّاهُ بَيْنَ الرِّفَاقِ، سَارَا مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ ثُمَّ أَخَذَا يَبْحَثَانِ عَنْهُ بَيْنَ الأَقَارِبِ وَالْمَعَارِفِ. | ٤٤ |
45 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
| وَلَمَّا لَمْ يَجِدَاهُ، رَجَعَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ يَبْحَثَانِ عَنْهُ. | ٤٥ |
46 It happened after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.
| وَبَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَجَدَاهُ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ، جَالِساً وَسْطَ الْمُعَلِّمِينَ يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَيَطْرَحُ عَلَيْهِمِ الأَسْئِلَةَ. | ٤٦ |
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
| وَجَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوهُ ذُهِلُوا مِنْ فَهْمِهِ وَأَجْوِبَتِهِ. | ٤٧ |
48 When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Look, your father and I were anxiously looking for you."
| فَلَمَّا رَأَيَاهُ دُهِشَا، وَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ: «يَا بُنَيَّ، لِمَاذَا عَمِلْتَ بِنَا هكَذَا؟ فَقَدْ كُنَّا، أَبُوكَ وَأَنَا، نَبْحَثُ عَنْكَ مُتَضَايِقَيْنِ!» | ٤٨ |
49 He said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be doing the works of my Father?"
| فَأَجَابَهُمَا: «لِمَاذَا كُنْتُمَا تَبْحَثَانِ عَنِّي؟ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمَا أَنَّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي مَا يَخُصُّ أَبِي؟» | ٤٩ |
50 They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
| فَلَمْ يَفْهَمَا مَا قَالَهُ لَهُمَا. | ٥٠ |
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
| ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مَعَهُمَا وَرَجَعَ إِلَى النَّاصِرَةِ، وَكَانَ خَاضِعاً لَهُمَا. وَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُ تَحْفَظُ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ كُلَّهَا فِي قَلْبِهَا. | ٥١ |
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
| أَمَّا يَسُوعُ، فَكَانَ يَتَقَدَّمُ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ وَالْقَامَةِ، وَفِي النِّعْمَةِ عِنْدَ اللهِ وَالنَّاسِ. | ٥٢ |
