Luke 2
1 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].
Sel ajal andis keiser Augustus välja seaduse, et Rooma impeeriumis tuleb kõiki hõlmav rahvaloendus.
2 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.
See oli esimene rahvaloendus Süüria maavalitseja Küreeniuse ajal.
3 Every person had to go to the town where his [most famous ancestor] had lived, so that [the officials] could write down their names.
Niisiis läks igaüks oma linna end kirja panema.
4 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].
Joosep põlvnes kuningas Taavetist, seepärast lahkus ta Galileas asuvast Naatsaretist, et minna Juudamaale Petlemma, Taaveti linna.
5 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].
Ta läks end sinna kirja panema koos Maarjaga, kes oli temaga kihlatud ja lapseootel.
6 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.
Kui nad seal olid, jõudis kätte lapsesaamise aeg.
Maarja tõi ilmale oma esmasündinud poja, mähkis ta riidelappidesse ja asetas sõime, sest võõrastemajas ei olnud vabu tube.
8 That night, there were [some] shepherds who were taking care of their sheep [as usual] in the fields near [Bethlehem].
Seal lähedal olid mõned karjased öösel väljadel ja valvasid oma karja.
9 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.
Neile ilmus Issanda ingel ja Issanda hiilgus paistis nende ümber. Nad kohkusid üliväga!
10 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].
„Ärge kartke!“ütles ingel neile. „Tulin teile tooma head uudist, mis rõõmustab kõiki inimesi.
11 [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!
Täna sündis teile siin, Taaveti linnas, Päästja. Ta on Messias, Issand.
12 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.”
Te tunnete ta ära selle märgi järgi: te leiate lapse riidelappidesse mähitud ja sõimes lebamas.“
13 Suddenly a large group of angels from heaven appeared and joined the other angel. They all praised God, singing/saying,
Äkki ilmus palju taevaseid olevusi, kes ülistasid Jumalat, öeldes:
14 “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]!”
„Au olgu taeva Jumalale ja maa peal rahu inimestele, kes on talle meele järele!“
15 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!”
Pärast seda kui inglid olid lahkunud ja tagasi taevasse läinud, ütlesid karjased üksteisele: „Lähme Petlemma ja vaatame, mis on toimunud sellega seoses, millest Issand meile rääkis.“
16 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.
Nad kiirustasid sinna ning leidsid Maarja, Joosepi ja lapse, kes lamas sõimes.
17 Then they told [Mary and Joseph and others] what had been told them {what [the angel] had told them} about this child.
Kui nad olid seda ise näinud, siis levitasid nad uudist toimunust ja sellest, mida oli neile selle lapse kohta räägitud.
18 Everyone who heard what was said by the shepherds {what the shepherds said} to them was amazed.
Kõik, kes seda kuulsid, olid karjaste jutust hämmastunud.
19 But Mary [did not talk to others about what the angels said]; she just kept thinking very much about it.
Kuid Maarja pidas hoolikalt meeles kõik, mis oli juhtunud, ning mõtles selle peale sageli.
20 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.
Karjased läksid tagasi oma karja valvama ning ülistasid ja tänasid Jumalat kõige eest, mida nad olid kuulnud ja näinud, sest kõik oli just nii, nagu neile oli öeldud.
21 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.
Kaheksa päeva pärast oli aeg laps ümber lõigata ja talle pandi nimeks Jeesus. See oli nimi, mille ingel oli andnud enne, kui ema oli lapseootele jäänud.
22 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.
Kui nende puhastusaeg vastavalt Moosese seadusele lõppes, viisid Joosep ja Maarja ta Jeruusalemma, et teda Issanda ette tuua,
nagu Issanda seadus ütleb: „Kõik esmasündinud pojad tuleb Issandale pühitseda.“
24 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].
Seal tõid nad ohvri, nagu Jumala seadus määrab, „paari turteltuvisid või kaks noort tuvi“.
25 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].
Tol ajal elas Jeruusalemmas mees nimega Siimeon. Siimeon tegi seda, mis oli hea, ja ta oli väga vaga. Ta ootas pikisilmi Iisraeli lootust ja Püha Vaim oli tema peal.
26 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.
Püha Vaim oli talle näidanud, et ta ei sure enne, kui on näinud Issanda Messiat.
27 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].
Vaimu juhtimist järgides läks ta templisse. Kui Jeesuse vanemad tõid väikese poisi, et teda pühendada, nagu Seadus nõudis,
28 So he took Jesus up in his arms and praised God, saying,
võttis Siimeon Jeesuse sülle, tänas Jumalat ja ütles:
29 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.
„Issand ja Õpetaja, nüüd saad oma sulasel lasta rahus surra, nagu sa tõotasid,
sest ma olen ise näinud sinu päästet,
mille sa oled kõigi jaoks valmistanud.
Ta on valgus, mis näitab rahvastele sind, sinu rahva Iisraeli hiilgust.“
33 His parents marveled about what [Simeon] said about [Jesus]. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary,
Jeesuse isa ja ema olid rabatud sellest, mida Siimeon tema kohta ütles.
34 “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.
Seejärel Siimeon õnnistas neid ja ütles Jeesuse emale Maarjale: „Määratud on, et selle lapse tõttu paljud Iisraelis langevad ja paljud tõusevad. Ta on märk Jumalalt, mille paljud hülgavad,
35 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).”
näidates sellega, mida nad tegelikult mõtlevad. Aga sina tunned, nagu tungiks mõõk otse sinust läbi.“
36 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.
Jeruusalemmas elas ka naisprohvet Hanna. Ta oli Aaseri suguharust, Penueli tütar, ning ta oli väga vana. Ta oli olnud abielus seitse aastat
37 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.
ning oli siis leseks jäänud. Ta oli kaheksakümne nelja aastane. Ta veetis aega templis Jumalat ülistades, paastudes ja palvetades.
38 [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].
Just siis tuli ta nende juurde ja hakkas Jumalat kiitma. Ta kõneles Jeesusest kõigile, kes ootasid seda aega, mil Jumal Jeruusalemma vabastab.
39 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].
Kui nad olid täitnud kõik, mida Jumala seadus nõudis, läksid nad tagasi oma kodulinna Naatsaretti Galileas.
40 As Jesus grew up, he became strong and very wise, and God was very pleased with him.
Laps kasvas tugevaks ja oli väga arukas. Jumala õnnistus oli temaga.
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem to [celebrate] the Passover festival.
Jeesuse vanemad rändasid igal aastal paasapühaks Jeruusalemma.
42 So when Jesus was twelve years old, they went up [to Jerusalem] as they always did.
Kui Jeesus oli kaheteistkümneaastane, läksid nad pühadele nagu alati.
43 When the celebration ended, his parents started to return home, but Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. [His parents] did not realize that [Jesus stayed there].
Kui pühad olid läbi ja oli aeg koju naasta, jäi poiss Jeesus Jeruusalemma, kuid tema vanemad ei teadnud seda.
44 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.
Nad oletasid, et ta oli koos kõigi teistega koju rändamas. Kui päev oli möödunud, hakkasid nad teda sõprade ja sugulaste juurest otsima.
45 They did not find him, so they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.
Kui nad ei suutnud teda leida, läksid nad tagasi Jeruusalemma, et teda seal otsida.
46 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.
Alles kolme päeva pärast leidsid nad ta templist. Ta istus vaimulike õpetajate keskel, kuulas neid ja esitas neile küsimusi.
47 Everyone who heard what he [said] was amazed at how much he understood and [how well] he answered [the questions that the teachers asked].
Kõik, kes kuulsid teda rääkimas, olid tema arusaamisest ja vastustest üllatunud.
48 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!”
Tema vanemad olid täiesti segaduses, kui nad nägid, mida ta teeb. Ema küsis talt: „Poeg, miks sa meiega niimoodi käitusid? Su isa ja mina oleme end haigeks muretsenud! Oleme sind igalt poolt otsinud!“
49 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]”
„Miks te mind otsisite?“vastas Jeesus. „Kas te ei teadnud, et ma peaksin olema siin, oma Isa kojas?“
50 But they did not understand [the meaning of] what he said to them.
Aga nad ei saanud aru, mida ta sellega mõtles.
51 Then he returned with them down to Nazareth. He always obeyed them. But his mother kept thinking about all those things.
Siis läks ta koos nendega tagasi Naatsaretti ja tegi seda, mida tal kästi. Tema ema pani hoolega tähele kõike, mis oli juhtunud.
52 [As the years passed], Jesus continued to become wiser and he grew taller. God and people continued to approve of him more and more.
Jeesus kasvas ja sai järjest targemaks ja tugevamaks ning oli Jumala ja inimeste soosingus.
