Lukas 2
1 Pada waktu itu Kaisar Agustus memerintahkan agar semua warga negara Kerajaan Roma mendaftarkan diri untuk sensus.
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2 Sensus yang pertama ini dijalankan waktu Kirenius menjadi gubernur negeri Siria.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 Semua orang pada waktu itu pergi untuk didaftarkan di kotanya masing-masing.
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 Yusuf pun berangkat dari Nazaret di Galilea, ke Betlehem di Yudea, tempat lahir Raja Daud; sebab Yusuf keturunan Daud.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David: )
5 Yusuf mendaftarkan diri bersama Maria tunangannya, yang sedang hamil.
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 Ketika mereka di Betlehem tibalah waktunya bagi Maria untuk bersalin.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 Ia melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, anaknya yang sulung. Anak itu dibungkusnya dengan kain, lalu diletakkan di dalam palung berisi jerami; sebab mereka tidak mendapat tempat untuk menginap.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a crib; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Pada malam itu ada gembala-gembala yang sedang menjaga domba-dombanya di padang rumput di daerah itu.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 Tiba-tiba malaikat Tuhan menampakkan diri kepada mereka, dan cahaya terang dari Tuhan bersinar menerangi mereka, dan mereka sangat ketakutan.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 Tetapi malaikat itu berkata, "Jangan takut! Sebab saya datang membawa kabar baik untuk kalian--kabar yang sangat menggembirakan semua orang.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 Hari ini di kota Daud telah lahir Raja Penyelamatmu yaitu Kristus, Tuhan.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 Inilah tandanya: Kalian akan menjumpai seorang bayi dibungkus dengan kain, dan berbaring di dalam sebuah palung."
And this shall be a sign unto you; All of you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a crib.
13 Tiba-tiba malaikat itu disertai banyak malaikat lain, yang memuji Allah. Mereka berkata,
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 "Terpujilah Allah di langit yang tertinggi! Dan di atas bumi, sejahteralah manusia yang menyenangkan hati Tuhan!"
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 Setelah malaikat-malaikat meninggalkan mereka dan kembali ke surga, gembala-gembala itu berkata satu sama lain, "Mari kita ke Betlehem dan melihat peristiwa yang terjadi itu, yang diberitahukan Tuhan kepada kita."
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing (rhema) which has come to pass, which the Lord has made known unto us.
16 Mereka segera pergi, lalu menjumpai Maria dan Yusuf, serta bayi itu yang sedang berbaring di dalam palung.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a crib.
17 Ketika para gembala melihat bayi itu, mereka menceritakan apa yang dikatakan para malaikat tentang bayi itu.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying (rhema) which was told them concerning this child.
18 Dan semua orang heran mendengar cerita para gembala itu.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 Tetapi Maria menyimpan semua itu di dalam hatinya dan merenungkannya.
But Mary kept all these things, (rhema) and pondered them in her heart.
20 Gembala-gembala itu kembali ke padang rumput sambil memuji dan memuliakan Allah, karena semua yang telah mereka dengar dan lihat, tepat seperti yang dikatakan oleh malaikat.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 Sesudah berumur delapan hari, anak itu disunat. Dan mereka menamakannya Yesus, nama yang diberikan malaikat kepada-Nya sebelum Ia dikandung ibu-Nya.
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Tibalah saatnya Yusuf dan Maria menjalankan adat penyucian menurut hukum Musa. Jadi mereka membawa Anak itu ke Yerusalem untuk diserahkan kepada Tuhan.
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
23 Sebab di dalam Hukum Tuhan tertulis begini, "Setiap anak laki-laki yang sulung, harus diserahkan kepada Tuhan."
(As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
24 Mereka juga bermaksud mempersembahkan kurban, yaitu sepasang burung tekukur atau dua ekor burung merpati yang muda, seperti yang ditentukan dalam Hukum Tuhan.
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.
25 Pada waktu itu di Yerusalem ada seorang bernama Simeon. Ia orang baik, yang takut kepada Allah dan sedang menantikan saatnya Allah menyelamatkan Israel. Roh Allah menyertai dia,
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit (pneuma) was upon him.
26 dan Roh Allah sudah memberitahukan kepadanya bahwa ia tidak akan mati sebelum melihat Raja Penyelamat yang dijanjikan Tuhan.
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 Oleh bimbingan Roh Allah, Simeon masuk ke Rumah Tuhan. Pada waktu itu Yusuf dan Maria membawa masuk Yesus, yang masih kecil itu untuk melakukan upacara yang diperintahkan hukum agama.
And he came by the Spirit (pneuma) into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28 Maka Simeon mengambil Anak itu dan menggendong-Nya, lalu memuji Allah,
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 "Sekarang, Tuhan, Engkau sudah menepati janji-Mu. Biarlah hamba-Mu ini meninggal dengan tentram.
Lord, now let you your servant depart in peace, according to your word: (rhema)
30 Sebab dengan mataku sendiri aku sudah melihat Penyelamat yang daripada-Mu.
For mine eyes have seen your salvation,
31 Penyelamat itu Engkau telah siapkan untuk segala bangsa:
Which you have prepared before the face of all people;
32 bagaikan terang yang menerangi jalan bagi bangsa-bangsa yang lain, untuk datang kepada-Mu; yaitu terang yang mendatangkan kehormatan bagi umat-Mu Israel."
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.
33 Ayah dan ibu Anak itu heran mendengar apa yang dikatakan Simeon tentang Anak mereka.
And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
34 Simeon memberkati mereka dan berkata kepada Maria, ibu Anak itu, "Anak ini sudah dipilih oleh Allah untuk membinasakan dan untuk menyelamatkan banyak orang Israel. Ia akan menjadi tanda dari Allah, yang akan ditentang oleh banyak orang,
And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35 dan dengan demikian terbongkarlah isi hati mereka. Kesedihan akan menusuk hatimu seperti pedang yang tajam."
(Yea, a sword shall pierce through your own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 Ada pula seorang nabi wanita yang sudah tua sekali. Namanya Hana, anak Fanuel, dari suku Asyer. Sesudah tujuh tahun kawin,
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 Hana menjadi janda, dan sekarang berumur delapan puluh empat tahun. Tidak pernah ia meninggalkan Rumah Tuhan. Siang malam ia berbakti di situ kepada Allah dengan berdoa dan berpuasa.
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 Tepat pada waktu itu juga ia datang, lalu memuji Allah dan berbicara tentang Anak itu kepada semua orang yang menantikan saatnya Allah memerdekakan Yerusalem.
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Setelah Yusuf dan Maria melakukan semua yang diwajibkan Hukum Tuhan, mereka pulang ke Nazaret di Galilea.
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 Anak itu bertambah besar dan kuat. Ia bijaksana sekali dan sangat dikasihi oleh Allah.
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, (pneuma) filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Tiap-tiap tahun orang tua Yesus pergi ke Yerusalem untuk merayakan Hari Raya Paskah.
Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 Dan ketika Yesus berumur dua belas tahun, mereka pergi ke perayaan itu sesuai kebiasaan.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 Sehabis perayaan itu mereka pulang, tetapi Yesus, Anak itu, masih tinggal di Yerusalem, dan ayah ibu-Nya tidak tahu.
And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 Mereka menyangka Ia ikut dalam rombongan. Sesudah berjalan sepanjang hari barulah mereka mencari Dia di antara sanak saudara dan kenalan-kenalan mereka.
But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 Tetapi mereka tidak menjumpai-Nya, jadi mereka kembali ke Yerusalem mencari Dia.
And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Setelah tiga hari mencari, mereka mendapati Dia di dalam Rumah Tuhan. Ia sedang duduk mendengarkan para guru agama dan mengajukan pertanyaan-pertanyaan.
And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 Semua orang yang mendengar Dia heran karena jawaban-jawaban-Nya yang cerdas.
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 Orang tua-Nya pun heran melihat Dia. Ibu-Nya berkata kepada-Nya, "Nak, mengapa Kaulakukan ini kepada kami? Ayah-Mu dan ibu-Mu cemas mencari Engkau!"
And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why have you thus dealt with us? behold, your father and I have sought you sorrowing.
49 Yesus menjawab, "Mengapa ayah dan ibu mencari Aku? Apakah ayah dan ibu tidak tahu bahwa Aku harus ada di dalam rumah Bapa-Ku?"
And he said unto them, How is it that all of you sought me? know all of you not that I must be about my Father's business?
50 Tetapi mereka tidak mengerti jawaban Yesus.
And they understood not the saying (rhema) which he spoke unto them.
51 Kemudian Yesus pulang bersama mereka ke Nazaret, dan taat kepada mereka. Semua hal itu disimpan oleh ibu-Nya di dalam hatinya.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings (rhema) in her heart.
52 Yesus makin bertambah besar dan bertambah bijaksana, serta dikasihi oleh Allah dan disukai oleh manusia.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
