누가복음 2
1 이때에 가이사 아구스도가 영을 내려 천하로 다 호적하라 하였으니
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].
2 이 호적은 구레뇨가 수리아 총독 되었을때에 첫번 한 것이라
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.
3 모든 사람이 호적하러 각각 고향으로 돌아가매
Every person had to go to the town where his [most famous ancestor] had lived, so that [the officials] could write down their names.
4 요셉도 다윗의 집 족속인고로 갈릴리 나사렛 동네에서 유대를 향하여 베들레헴이라 하는 다윗의 동네로
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].
5 그 정혼한 마리아아 함께 호적하러 올라가니 마리아가 이미 잉태되었더라
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].
6 거기 있을 그 때에 해산할 날이 차서
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.
7 맏아들을 낳아 강보로 싸서 구유에 뉘었으니 이는 사관에 있을 곳이 없음이러라
8 그 지경에 목자들이 밖에서 밤에 자기 양떼를 지키더니
That night, there were [some] shepherds who were taking care of their sheep [as usual] in the fields near [Bethlehem].
9 주의 사자가 곁에 서고 주의 영광이 저희를 두루 비취매 크게 무서워 하는지라
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.
10 천사가 이르되 `무서워 말라 보라 내가 온 백성에게 미칠 큰 기쁨의 좋은 소식을 너희에게 전하노라
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].
11 오늘날 다윗의 동네에 너희를 위하여 구주가 나셨으니 곧 그리스도 주시니라
[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!
12 너희가 가서 강보에 싸여 구유에 누인 아기를 보리니 이것이 너희에게 표적이니라' 하더니
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.”
13 홀연히 허다한 천군이 그 천사와 함께 있어 하나님을 찬송하여 가로되
Suddenly a large group of angels from heaven appeared and joined the other angel. They all praised God, singing/saying,
14 `지극히 높은 곳에서는 하나님께 영광이요 땅에서는 기뻐하심을 입은 사람들 중에 평화로다' 하니라
“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]!”
15 천사들이 떠나 하늘로 올라가니 목자가 서로 말하되 `이제 베들레헴까지 가서 주께서 우리에게 알리신 바 이 이루어진 일을 보자' 하고
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!”
16 빨리 가서 마리아와 요셉과 구유에 누인 아기를 찾아서
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.
17 보고 천사가 자기들에게 이 아기에 대하여 말한 것을 고하니
Then they told [Mary and Joseph and others] what had been told them {what [the angel] had told them} about this child.
18 듣는 자가 다 목자의 말하는 일을 기이히 여기되
Everyone who heard what was said by the shepherds {what the shepherds said} to them was amazed.
19 마리아는 이 모든 말을 마음에 지키어 생각하니라
But Mary [did not talk to others about what the angels said]; she just kept thinking very much about it.
20 목자가 자기들에게 이르던 바와 같이 듣고 본 그 모든 것을 인하여 하나님께 영광을 돌리고 찬송하며 돌아가니라
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.
21 할례할 팔일이 되매 그 이름을 예수라 하니 곧 수태하기 전에 천사의 일컬은 바러라
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.
22 모세의 법대로 결례의 날이 차매 아기를 데리고 예루살렘에 올라가니
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.
23 이는 주의 율법에 쓴 바 첫 태에 처음 난 남자마다 주의 거룩한 자라 하리라 한 대로 아기를 주께 드리고
24 또 주의 율법에 말씀하신 대로 비둘기 한 쌍이나 혹 어린 반구 둘로 제사하려 함이더라
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].
25 예루살렘에 시므온이라 하는 사람이 있으니 이 사람이 의롭고 경건하여 이스라엘의 위로를 기다리는 자라 성령이 그 위에 계시더라
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].
26 저가 주의 그리스도를 보기 전에 죽지 아니하리라 하는 성령의 지시를 받았더니
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.
27 성령의 감동으로 성전에 들어가매 마침 부모가 율법의 전례대로 행하고자 하여 그 아기 예수를 데리고 오는지라
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].
28 시므온이 아기를 안고 하나님을 찬송하여 가로되
So he took Jesus up in his arms and praised God, saying,
29 `주재여 이제는 말씀하신 대로 종을 평안히 놓아 주시는도다
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.
30 내 눈이 주의 구원을 보았사오니
31 이는 만민 앞에 예비하신 것이요
32 이방을 비추는 빛이요 주의 백성 이스라엘의 영광이니이다' 하니
33 그 부모가 그 아기에 대한 말들을 기이히 여기더라
His parents marveled about what [Simeon] said about [Jesus]. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary,
34 시므온이 저희에게 축복하고 그 모친 마리아에게 일러 가로되 `보라 이 아이는 이스라엘 중 많은 사람의 패하고 흥함을 위하여 비방을 받는 표적되기 위하여 세움을 입었고
“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.
35 또 칼이 네 마음을 찌르듯 하리라 이는 여러 사람의 마음의 생각을 드러내려 함이니라' 하더라
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).”
36 또 아셀 지파 바누엘의 딸 안나라 하는 선지자가 있어 나이 매우 늙었더라 그가 출가한 후 일곱 해 동안 남편과 함께 살다가
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.
37 과부 된 지 팔십사년이라 이 사람이 성전을 떠나지 아니하고 주야에 금식하며 기도함으로 섬기더니
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.
38 마침 이 때에 나아와서 하나님께 감사하고 예루살렘의 구속됨을 바라는 모든 사람에게 이 아기에 대하여 말하니라
[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].
39 주의 율법을 좇아 모든 일을 필하고 갈릴리로 돌아가 본 동네 나사렛에 이르니라
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].
40 아기가 자라며 강하여지고 지혜가 충족하며 하나님의 은혜가 그 위에 있더라
As Jesus grew up, he became strong and very wise, and God was very pleased with him.
41 그 부모가 해마다 유월절을 당하면 예루살렘으로 가더니
Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem to [celebrate] the Passover festival.
42 예수께서 열 두 살 될 때에 저희가 이 절기의 전례를 좇아 올라 갔다가
So when Jesus was twelve years old, they went up [to Jerusalem] as they always did.
43 그 날들을 마치고 돌아갈 때에 아이 예수는 예루살렘에 머무셨더라 그 부모는 이를 알지 못하고
When the celebration ended, his parents started to return home, but Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. [His parents] did not realize that [Jesus stayed there].
44 동행 중에 있는 줄로 생각하고 하룻길을 간 후 친족과 아는 자 중에서 찾되
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.
45 만나지 못하매 찾으면서 예루살렘에 돌아갔더니
They did not find him, so they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.
46 사흘 후에 성전에서 만난즉 그가 선생들 중에 앉으사 저희에게 듣기도 하시며 묻기도 하시니
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.
47 듣는 자가 다 그 지혜와 대답을 기이히 여기더라
Everyone who heard what he [said] was amazed at how much he understood and [how well] he answered [the questions that the teachers asked].
48 그 부모가 보고 놀라며 그 모친은 가로되 `아이야 어찌하여 우리에게 이렇게 하였느냐? 보라 네 아버지와 내가 근심하여 너를 찾았노라'
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!”
49 예수께서 가라사대 `어찌하여 나를 찾으셨나이까? 내가 내 아버지 집에 있어야 될 줄을 알지 못하셨나이까?' 하시니
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]”
50 양친이 그 하신 말씀을 깨닫지 못하더라
But they did not understand [the meaning of] what he said to them.
51 예수께서 한가지로 내려가사 나사렛에 이르러 순종하여 받드시더라 그 모친은 이 모든 말을 마음에 두니라
Then he returned with them down to Nazareth. He always obeyed them. But his mother kept thinking about all those things.
52 예수는 그 지혜와 그 키가 자라가며 하나님과 사람에게 더 사랑스러워 가시더라
[As the years passed], Jesus continued to become wiser and he grew taller. God and people continued to approve of him more and more.
