Luke 2
1 Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.
U one dane izađe naredba cara Augusta da se provede popis svega svijeta.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Bijaše to prvi popis izvršen za Kvirinijeva upravljanja Sirijom.
3 And all went to enroll themselves, every one to his own city.
Svi su išli na popis, svaki u svoj grad.
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 family of David;
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 -
5 to enroll himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child.
da se podvrgne popisu zajedno sa svojom zaručnicom Marijom koja bijaše trudna.
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.
I dok se bili ondje, navršilo joj se vrijeme da rodi.
7 And she brought forth 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.
I porodi sina svoga, prvorođenca, povi ga i položi u jasle jer za njih nije bilo mjesta u svratištu.
8 And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
A u tom kraju bijahu pastiri: pod vedrim su nebom čuvali noćnu stražu kod svojih stada.
9 And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
Anđeo im Gospodnji pristupi i slava ih Gospodnja obasja! Silno se prestrašiše.
10 And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:
No anđeo im reče: “Ne bojte se! Evo javljam vam blagovijest, veliku radost za sav narod!
11 for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Danas vam se u gradu Davidovu rodio Spasitelj - Krist, Gospodin.
12 And this [is] the sign unto you; Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.
I evo vam znaka: naći ćete novorođenče povijeno gdje leži u jaslama.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
I odjednom se anđelu pridruži silna nebeska vojska hvaleći Boga i govoreći:
14 Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.
“Slava na visinama Bogu, a na zemlji mir ljudima, miljenicima njegovim!”
15 And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
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.”
16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
I pohite te pronađu Mariju, Josipa i novorođenče gdje leži u jaslama.
17 And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Pošto sve pogledaše, ispripovijediše što im bijaše rečeno o tom djetetu.
18 And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.
A svi koji su to čuli divili se tome što su im pripovijedali pastiri.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Marija u sebi pohranjivaše sve te događaje i prebiraše ih u svome srcu.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them.
Pastiri se zatim vratiše slaveći i hvaleći Boga za sve što su čuli i vidjeli kako im je bilo rečeno.
21 And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Kad se navršilo osam dana da bude obrezan, nadjenuše mu ime Isus, kako ga je bio prozvao anđeo prije njegova začeća.
22 And 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
Kad se zatim po Mojsijevu Zakonu navršiše dani njihova čišćenja, poniješe ga u Jeruzalem da ga prikažu Gospodinu -
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
kao što piše u Zakonu Gospodnjem: Svako muško prvorođenče neka se posveti Gospodinu! -
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.
i da prinesu žrtvu kako je rečeno u Zakonu Gospodnjem: dvije grlice ili dva golubića.
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Živio tada u Jeruzalemu čovjek po imenu Šimun. Taj čovjek, pravedan i bogobojazan, iščekivaše Utjehu Izraelovu i Duh Sveti bijaše na njemu.
26 And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Objavio mu Duh Sveti da neće vidjeti smrti dok ne vidi Pomazanika Gospodnjega.
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law,
Ponukan od Duha, dođe u Hram. I kad roditelji uniješe dijete Isusa da obave što o njemu propisuje Zakon,
28 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
primi ga on u naručje, blagoslovi Boga i reče:
29 Now lettest thou thy servant depart, O Lord, According to thy word, in peace;
“Sad otpuštaš slugu svojega, Gospodaru, po riječi svojoj, u miru!
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Ta vidješe oči moje spasenje tvoje,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
koje si pripravio pred licem svih naroda:
32 A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel.
svjetlost na prosvjetljenje naroda, slavu puka svoga izraelskoga.”
33 And his father and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him;
Otac njegov i majka divili se što se to o njemu govori.
34 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;
Šimun ih blagoslovi i reče Mariji, majci njegovoj: “Ovaj je evo postavljen na propast i uzdignuće mnogima u Izraelu i za znak osporavan -
35 yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.
a i tebi će samoj mač probosti dušu - da se razotkriju namisli mnogih srdaca!”
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
A bijaše neka proročica Ana, kći Penuelova, iz plemena Ašerova, žena veoma odmakla u godinama. Nakon djevojaštva živjela je s mužem sedam godina,
37 and she had been a widow even for fourscore and four years), which departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day.
a sama kao udovica do osamdeset i četvrte. Nije napuštala Hrama, nego je postovima i molitvama danju i noću služila Bogu.
38 And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
Upravo u taj čas nadođe. Hvalila je Boga i svima koji iščekivahu otkupljenje Jeruzalema pripovijedala o djetetu.
39 And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Kad obaviše sve po Zakonu Gospodnjem, vratiše se u Galileju, u svoj grad Nazaret.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
A dijete je raslo, jačalo i napunjalo se mudrosti i milost je Božja bila na njemu.
41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Njegovi su roditelji svake godine o blagdanu Pashe išli u Jeruzalem.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast;
Kad mu bijaše dvanaest godina, uziđoše po običaju blagdanskom.
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not;
Kad su minuli ti dani, vraćahu se oni, a dječak Isus osta u Jeruzalemu, a da nisu znali njegovi roditelji.
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance:
Uvjereni da je među suputnicima, odoše dan hoda, a onda ga stanu tražiti među rodbinom i znancima.
45 and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.
I kad ga ne nađu, vrate se u Jeruzalem tražeći ga.
46 And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
Nakon tri dana nađoše ga u Hramu gdje sjedi posred učitelja, sluša ih i pita.
47 and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Svi koji ga slušahu bijahu zaneseni razumnošću i odgovorima njegovim.
48 And when they saw him, they were astonished: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.
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.”
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be in my Father’s house?
A on im reče: “Zašto ste me tražili? Niste li znali da mi je biti u onome što je Oca mojega?”
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
Oni ne razumješe riječi koju im reče.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all [these] sayings in her heart.
I siđe s njima, dođe u Nazaret i bijaše im poslušan. A majka je njegova brižno čuvala sve ove uspomene u svom srcu.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
A Isus napredovaše u mudrosti, dobi i milosti kod Boga i ljudi.
