Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be registered.
Itu adalah waktu ketika Kaisar Agustus mengeluarkan sebuah perintah untuk diadakannya perhitungan jumlah penduduk di seluruh Kerajaan Romawi.
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
Sensus ini adalah sensus pertama di bawah pemerintahan Gubernur Kirenius di wilayah Siria.
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own city.
Maka setiap penduduk pergi ke kota kelahiran mereka untuk mendaftarkan dirinya.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
Oleh karena Yusuf adalah keturunan dari Raja Daud, maka dia berangkat dari Nazaret yang terletak di daerah Galilea menuju ke Betlehem, yang dikenal sebagai kota Daud, di daerah Yudea.
5 to be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
Dia pergi mendaftarkan dirinya di kota itu bersama dengan Maria, yang sudah bertunangan dengannya dan sedang menantikan kelahiran bayinya.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
Sementara mereka di sana, tiba waktunya bagi Maria untuk melahirkan bayinya.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swathing-clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Dan Maria melahirkan anak laki-laki sulungnya. Dia membungkusnya dengan kain dan membaringkannya di palungan karena penginapan tidak memiliki kamar lagi.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
Di dekat daerah itu, beberapa orang gembala menghabiskan malam hari dengan menggembalakan domba-domba mereka di padang rumput.
9 And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.
Seorang malaikat Tuhan muncul di hadapan mereka, dan kemuliaan Tuhan bersinar mengelilingi mereka. Mereka sangat ketakutan.
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not; for lo! I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to the whole people;
“Jangan takut!” kata malaikat itu kepada mereka. “Aku di sini untuk membawakan kabar baik kepada kalian yang akan membuat seluruh umat manusia bersukacita.
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
Seorang Juruselamat sudah lahir bagi kalian hari ini, di kota Daud. Dia adalah Mesias, Tuhan.
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
Kalian akan mengenali Dia dengan tanda ini, yaitu, kalian akan menemukan seorang anak yang dibungkus dengan kain dan diletakkan di dalam palungan.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Tiba-tiba banyak sekali malaikat yang muncul, memuji Allah dan berkata,
14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will!”
“Kemuliaan bagi Allah yang di surga, dan damai di bumi kepada mereka yang menyenangkan Dia.”
15 And it came to pass, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said one to another, Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see that which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.
Sesudah para malaikat meninggalkan mereka dan kembali ke surga, para gembala itu saling berkata, “Mari kita pergi ke Betlehem dan lihat kejadian yang sudah terjadi seperti yang sudah diceritakan oleh Tuhan kepada kita.”
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
Mereka dengan bergegas pergi ke Betlehem dan menemukan Maria, Yusuf, serta bayi itu, yang sedang berbaring di palungan.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
Sesudah mereka melihat Dia dengan mata mereka sendiri, mereka menyebarkan berita tentang segala sesuatu yang terjadi dan tentang si bayi yang sudah mereka dengar.
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
Dan mereka yang mendengar berita ini kagum dengan apa yang para gembala ceritakan kepada mereka.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Tetapi Maria mengingat dan merenungkan segala kejadian yang sudah terjadi.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all which they had heard and seen, as had been told them.
Para gembala kembali menjaga ternak-ternak mereka, memuji dan bersyukur kepada Allah untuk segala berita yang sudah mereka dengar dan lihat, sebab sama seperti yang sudah pernah diberitahukan kepada mereka.
21 And when eight days were completed for him to be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Sesudah Yesus berumur delapan hari, tiba waktunya bagi bayi itu untuk disunat, dan diberi nama Yesus.
22 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,
Ketika tiba waktunya penyucian sesuai dengan hukum Taurat selesai dilaksanakan, Yusuf dan Maria membawa Yesus ke Yerusalem untuk diserahkan kepada Tuhan,
23 as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall be called holy to the Lord,”
seperti yang Tuhan sudah perintahkan, “Setiap anak laki-laki sulung haruslah diserahkan kepada Tuhan.”
24 and to offer a sacrifice, according to what is directed in the law of the Lord: “A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.”
Lalu di sana mereka memberikan kurban persembahan, seperti hukum Allah perintahkan, berupa “sepasang burung tekukur atau dua ekor burung merpati muda.”
25 And lo! there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and he was a righteous and devout man, waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was upon him;
Pada masa itu hiduplah seorang laki-laki bernama Simeon di Yerusalem. Simeon melakukan perbuatan yang benar dan sangat berbakti kepada Allah. Dia sangat menanti-nantikan janji Tuhan akan keselamatan bagi Israel, dan Roh Kudus ada di atasnya.
26 and it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
Roh Kudus sudah ditunjukkan kepadanya bahwa dia tidak akan mati sebelum dia bertemu dengan Tuhan sang Mesias.
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
Dengan mengikuti arahan Roh Kudus, Simeon datang ke Rumah Allah ketika orangtua Yesus membawanya untuk diserahkan kepada Tuhan sesuai dengan ketentuan Hukum Taurat.
28 he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Simeon menggendong Yesus, mengucap syukur kepada Allah, dan berkata,
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
“Tuhanku, sekarang ijinkanlah hamba-Mu ini meninggal dengan tenang seperti yang sudah Engkau janjikan,
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
sebab sudah kulihat dengan mataku sendiri bagaimana Engkau akan menyelamatkan umat-Mu,
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
yang sudah Engkau persiapkan bagi semua orang.
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Dia akan menjadi seperti terang yang akan menerangi bangsa-bangsa lain, Dia akan menjadi kemuliaan bagi umat-Mu orang Israel.”
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning him.
Ayah dan ibu Yesus terkejut mendengar perkataan Simeon tentang Yesus.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that will be spoken against; —
Lalu Simeon memberkati mereka, dan berkata kepada Maria, ibu Yesus, “Anak ini ditakdirkan untuk menyebabkan banyak orang di Israel yang jatuh dan yang bangkit. Anak ini adalah tanda dari Allah bahwa banyak dari mereka yang akan menolak,
35 yea, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
sebab Dia akan menyatakan pikiran-pikiran yang tersembunyi dalam benak mereka. Hal itu akan terasa seperti sebuah pedang yang menembus jantungmu, Ibu.”
36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel: of the tribe of Asher; she was of great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
Lalu nabiah Hana juga tinggal di Yerusalem. Dia adalah anak perempuan dari Fanuel dari suku Asyer, dan sudah sangat tua. Dia sudah menikah selama tujuh tahun,
37 and she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers night and day.
namun sesudah itu dia menjadi janda, sebab suaminya meninggal dunia. Usianya sudah 84 tahun. Dia menghabiskan waktunya dengan menyembah, berpuasa dan berdoa di rumah Tuhan.
38 And she came up at this very time, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
Dia juga menghampiri mereka kala itu, dan mulai memuji Allah. Dia berbicara tentang Yesus kepada semua yang menanti-nantikan waktunya Allah untuk membebaskan Yerusalem.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Sesudah mereka menyelesaikan segala sesuatu yang diperinthakan oleh hukum Allah, mereka kembali ke rumah mereka di kota Nazaret di Galilea.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
Anak itu tumbuh bertambah kuat dan sangat bijak. Berkat Allah ada bersama Dia.
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Orang tua Yesus pergi ke Yerusalem setiap tahun untuk merayakan Paskah.
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
Ketika Yesus berusia 12 tahun, Yesus ikut mereka ke perayaan tersebut.
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it,
Ketika perayaan sudah selesai dan sudah tiba waktunya kembali ke kota asal, Yesus yang masih kanak-kanak itu tetap tinggal di Yerusalem, namun orang tua-Nya tidak menyadari hal ini.
44 but, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
Orang tua Yesus berpikir kalau Yesus bersama dengan rombongan anak-anak yang juga sedang kembali pulang. Sehari perjalanan sudah berlalu sebelum mereka mulai mencari Dia diantara teman dan keluarga mereka.
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
Ketika mereka tidak bisa menemukan-Nya, kembalilah mereka ke Yerusalem untuk mencari Dia di sana.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
Sudah berlalu tiga hari sebelum mereka berhasil menemukan Yesus di rumah Tuhan. Yesus sedang duduk di antara para guru-guru agama, mendengarkan mereka dan bertanya kepada mereka.
47 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.
Semua yang mendengarkan cara Yesus berbicara terkejut dengan pemahaman dan jawaban-jawaban-Nya.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed; and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have been seeking thee in much distress.
Orangtua-Nya sungguh-sungguh bingung ketika mereka melihat apa yang sedang dilakukan-Nya. Ibu-Nya bertanya kepada-Nya, “Putraku, mengapa Kamu memperlakukan kami seperti ini? Ayah-Mu dan aku — kami sudah sangat kuatir! Kami mencari-Mu kemana-mana!”
49 And he said to them, Why is it that ye have been seeking me? Did ye not know that I must be about my Father's business?
“Mengapa Ibu mencari Aku?” jawab Yesus. “Tidakkah Ibu tahu bahwa Aku harus ada di rumah Bapa-Ku?”
50 And they understood not what he spoke to them.
Tetapi mereka tidak mengerti arti perkataan-Nya.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these things in her heart.
Lalu kembalilah Dia bersama mereka ke Nazaret, dan taat kepada kedua orangtuanya. Ibu-Nya menyimpan setiap kejadian yang sudah terjadi dan sering merenungkannya.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Dan Yesus semakin kuat dan semakin bijak, dan disukai oleh Allah dan manusia.
