Lukas 2

Lukas 2

2:1 Pada waktu itu Kaisar Agustus mengeluarkan suatu perintah, menyuruh mendaftarkan semua orang di seluruh dunia. 2:2 Inilah pendaftaran yang pertama kali diadakan sewaktu Kirenius menjadi wali negeri di Siria. 2:3 Maka pergilah semua orang mendaftarkan diri, masing-masing di kotanya sendiri. 2:4 Demikian juga Yusuf pergi dari kota Nazaret di Galilea ke Yudea, ke kota Daud yang bernama Betlehem, -- karena ia berasal dari keluarga dan keturunan Daud -- 2:5 supaya didaftarkan bersama-sama dengan Maria, tunangannya, yang sedang mengandung. 2:6 Ketika mereka di situ tibalah waktunya bagi Maria untuk bersalin, 2:7 dan ia melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, anaknya yang sulung, lalu dibungkusnya dengan lampin dan dibaringkannya di dalam palungan, karena tidak ada tempat bagi mereka di rumah penginapan. Gembala-gembala 2:8 Di daerah itu ada gembala-gembala yang tinggal di padang menjaga kawanan ternak mereka pada waktu malam. 2:9 Tiba-tiba berdirilah seorang malaikat Tuhan di dekat mereka dan kemuliaan Tuhan bersinar meliputi mereka dan mereka sangat ketakutan. 2:10 Lalu kata malaikat itu kepada mereka: "Jangan takut, sebab sesungguhnya aku memberitakan kepadamu kesukaan besar untuk seluruh bangsa: 2:11 Hari ini telah lahir bagimu Juruselamat, yaitu Kristus, Tuhan, di kota Daud. 2:12 Dan inilah tandanya bagimu: Kamu akan menjumpai seorang bayi dibungkus dengan lampin dan terbaring di dalam palungan." 2:13 Dan tiba-tiba tampaklah bersama-sama dengan malaikat itu sejumlah besar bala tentara sorga yang memuji Allah, katanya: 2:14 "Kemuliaan bagi Allah di tempat yang mahatinggi dan damai sejahtera di bumi di antara manusia yang berkenan kepada-Nya." 2:15 Setelah malaikat-malaikat itu meninggalkan mereka dan kembali ke sorga, gembala-gembala itu berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Marilah kita pergi ke Betlehem untuk melihat apa yang terjadi di sana, seperti yang diberitahukan Tuhan kepada kita." 2:16 Lalu mereka cepat-cepat berangkat dan menjumpai Maria dan Yusuf dan bayi itu, yang sedang berbaring di dalam palungan. 2:17 Dan ketika mereka melihat-Nya, mereka memberitahukan apa yang telah dikatakan kepada mereka tentang Anak itu. 2:18 Dan semua orang yang mendengarnya heran tentang apa yang dikatakan gembala-gembala itu kepada mereka. 2:19 Tetapi Maria menyimpan segala perkara itu di dalam hatinya dan merenungkannya. 2:20 Maka kembalilah gembala-gembala itu sambil memuji dan memuliakan Allah karena segala sesuatu yang mereka dengar dan mereka lihat, semuanya sesuai dengan apa yang telah dikatakan kepada mereka. Yesus disunat dan diserahkan kepada Tuhan -- Simeon dan Hana 2:21 Dan ketika genap delapan hari dan Ia harus disunatkan, Ia diberi nama Yesus, yaitu nama yang disebut oleh malaikat sebelum Ia dikandung ibu-Nya. 2:22 Dan ketika genap waktu pentahiran, menurut hukum Taurat Musa, mereka membawa Dia ke Yerusalem untuk menyerahkan-Nya kepada Tuhan, 2:23 seperti ada tertulis dalam hukum Tuhan: "Semua anak laki-laki sulung harus dikuduskan bagi Allah", 2:24 dan untuk mempersembahkan korban menurut apa yang difirmankan dalam hukum Tuhan, yaitu sepasang burung tekukur atau dua ekor anak burung merpati. 2:25 Adalah di Yerusalem seorang bernama Simeon. Ia seorang yang benar dan saleh yang menantikan penghiburan bagi Israel. Roh Kudus ada di atasnya, 2:26 dan kepadanya telah dinyatakan oleh Roh Kudus, bahwa ia tidak akan mati sebelum ia melihat Mesias, yaitu Dia yang diurapi Tuhan. 2:27 Ia datang ke Bait Allah oleh Roh Kudus. Ketika Yesus, Anak itu, dibawa masuk oleh orang tua-Nya untuk melakukan kepada-Nya apa yang ditentukan hukum Taurat, 2:28 ia menyambut Anak itu dan menatang-Nya sambil memuji Allah, katanya: 2:29 "Sekarang, Tuhan, biarkanlah hamba-Mu ini pergi dalam damai sejahtera, sesuai dengan firman-Mu, 2:30 sebab mataku telah melihat keselamatan yang dari pada-Mu, 2:31 yang telah Engkau sediakan di hadapan segala bangsa, 2:32 yaitu terang yang menjadi penyataan bagi bangsa-bangsa lain dan menjadi kemuliaan bagi umat-Mu, Israel." 2:33 Dan bapa serta ibu-Nya amat heran akan segala apa yang dikatakan tentang Dia. 2:34 Lalu Simeon memberkati mereka dan berkata kepada Maria, ibu Anak itu: "Sesungguhnya Anak ini ditentukan untuk menjatuhkan atau membangkitkan banyak orang di Israel dan untuk menjadi suatu tanda yang menimbulkan perbantahan 2:35 -- dan suatu pedang akan menembus jiwamu sendiri --, supaya menjadi nyata pikiran hati banyak orang." 2:36 Lagipula di situ ada Hana, seorang nabi perempuan, anak Fanuel dari suku Asyer. Ia sudah sangat lanjut umurnya. Sesudah kawin ia hidup tujuh tahun lamanya bersama suaminya, 2:37 dan sekarang ia janda dan berumur delapan puluh empat tahun. Ia tidak pernah meninggalkan Bait Allah dan siang malam beribadah dengan berpuasa dan berdoa. 2:38 Dan pada ketika itu juga datanglah ia ke situ dan mengucap syukur kepada Allah dan berbicara tentang Anak itu kepada semua orang yang menantikan kelepasan untuk Yerusalem. 2:39 Dan setelah selesai semua yang harus dilakukan menurut hukum Tuhan, kembalilah mereka ke kota kediamannya, yaitu kota Nazaret di Galilea. 2:40 Anak itu bertambah besar dan menjadi kuat, penuh hikmat, dan kasih karunia Allah ada pada-Nya. Yesus pada umur dua belas tahun dalam Bait Allah 2:41 Tiap-tiap tahun orang tua Yesus pergi ke Yerusalem pada hari raya Paskah. 2:42 Ketika Yesus telah berumur dua belas tahun pergilah mereka ke Yerusalem seperti yang lazim pada hari raya itu. 2:43 Sehabis hari-hari perayaan itu, ketika mereka berjalan pulang, tinggallah Yesus di Yerusalem tanpa diketahui orang tua-Nya. 2:44 Karena mereka menyangka bahwa Ia ada di antara orang-orang seperjalanan mereka, berjalanlah mereka sehari perjalanan jauhnya, lalu mencari Dia di antara kaum keluarga dan kenalan mereka. 2:45 Karena mereka tidak menemukan Dia, kembalilah mereka ke Yerusalem sambil terus mencari Dia. 2:46 Sesudah tiga hari mereka menemukan Dia dalam Bait Allah; Ia sedang duduk di tengah-tengah alim ulama, sambil mendengarkan mereka dan mengajukan pertanyaan-pertanyaan kepada mereka. 2:47 Dan semua orang yang mendengar Dia sangat heran akan kecerdasan-Nya dan segala jawab yang diberikan-Nya. 2:48 Dan ketika orang tua-Nya melihat Dia, tercenganglah mereka, lalu kata ibu-Nya kepada-Nya: "Nak, mengapakah Engkau berbuat demikian terhadap kami? Bapa-Mu dan aku dengan cemas mencari Engkau." 2:49 Jawab-Nya kepada mereka: "Mengapa kamu mencari Aku? Tidakkah kamu tahu, bahwa Aku harus berada di dalam rumah Bapa-Ku?" 2:50 Tetapi mereka tidak mengerti apa yang dikatakan-Nya kepada mereka. 2:51 Lalu Ia pulang bersama-sama mereka ke Nazaret; dan Ia tetap hidup dalam asuhan mereka. Dan ibu-Nya menyimpan semua perkara itu di dalam hatinya. 2:52 Dan Yesus makin bertambah besar dan bertambah hikmat-Nya dan besar-Nya, dan makin dikasihi oleh Allah dan manusia.

Christ Born of Mary

2 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.

4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed [a]wife, who was with child. 6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a [b]manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Glory in the Highest

8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And [c]behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a [d]manger.”

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

14
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill[e] toward men!”

15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now when they had seen Him, they made [f]widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.
Circumcision of Jesus

21 And when eight days were completed [g]for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
Jesus Presented in the Temple

22 Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”), 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
Simeon Sees God’s Salvation

25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27 So he came by 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, 28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:

29
“Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace,
According to Your word;
30
For my eyes have seen Your salvation
31
Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,
32
A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,
And the glory of Your people Israel.”

33 [h]And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against 35 (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
Anna Bears Witness to the Redeemer

36 Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; 37 and this woman was a widow [i]of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And coming in that instant she gave thanks to [j]the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
The Family Returns to Nazareth

39 So when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth. 40 And the Child grew and became strong [k]in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
The Boy Jesus Amazes the Scholars

41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 43 When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And [l]Joseph and His mother did not know it; 44 but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day’s journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 Now so it was 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. 47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. 48 So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.”

49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” 50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.
Jesus Advances in Wisdom and Favor

51 Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was [m]subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
