1 U one dane izađe naredba cara Augusta da se provede popis svega svijeta.	1 And it happened in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, so that the whole world would be enrolled.
2 Bijaše to prvi popis izvršen za Kvirinijeva upravljanja Sirijom.	2 This was the first enrollment; it was made by the ruler of Syria, Quirinius.
3 Svi su išli na popis, svaki u svoj grad.	3 And all went to be declared, each one to his own city.
4 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 –	4 Then Joseph also ascended from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 da se podvrgne popisu zajedno sa svojom zaručnicom Marijom koja bijaše trudna.	5 in order to be declared, with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child.
6 I dok su bili ondje, navršilo joj se vrijeme da rodi.	6 Then it happened that, while they were there, the days were completed, so that she would give birth.
7 I porodi sina svoga, prvorođenca, povi ga i položi u jasle jer za njih nije bilo mjesta u svratištu.	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 at the inn.
8 A u tom kraju bijahu pastiri: pod vedrim su nebom čuvali noćnu stražu kod svojih stada.	8 And there were shepherds in the same region, being vigilant and keeping watch in the night over their flock.
9 Anđeo im Gospodnji pristupi i slava ih Gospodnja obasja! Silno se prestrašiše.	9 And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near them, and the brightness of God shone around them, and they were struck with a great fear.
10 No anđeo im reče: »Ne bojte se! Evo, javljam vam blagovijest, veliku radost za sav narod!	10 And the Angel said to them: “Do not be afraid. For, behold, I proclaim to you a great joy, which will be for all the people.
11 Danas vam se u gradu Davidovu rodio Spasitelj – Krist, Gospodin.	11 For today a Saviour has been born for you in the city of David: he is Christ the Lord.
12 I evo vam znaka: naći ćete novorođenče povijeno gdje leži u jaslama.«	12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
13 I odjednom se anđelu pridruži silna nebeska vojska hvaleći Boga i govoreći:	13 And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the celestial army, praising God and saying,
14 »Slava na visinama Bogu, a na zemlji mir ljudima, miljenicima njegovim!«	14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.”
15 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.«	15 And it happened that, when the Angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us cross over to Bethlehem and see this word, which has happened, which the Lord has revealed to us.”
16 I pohite te pronađu Mariju, Josipa i novorođenče gdje leži u jaslama.	16 And they went quickly. And they found Mary and Joseph; and the infant was lying in a manger.
17 Pošto sve pogledaše, ispripovjediše što im bijaše rečeno o tom djetetu.	17 Then, upon seeing this, they understood the word that had been spoken to them about this boy.
18 A svi koji su to čuli divili se tome što su im pripovijedali pastiri.	18 And all who heard it were amazed by this, and by those things which were told to them by the shepherds.
19 Marija u sebi pohranjivaše sve te događaje i prebiraše ih u svome srcu.	19 But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.
20 Pastiri se zatim vratiše slaveći i hvaleći Boga za sve što su čuli i vidjeli kako im je bilo rečeno.	20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told to them.
21 Kad se navršilo osam dana da bude obrezan, nadjenuše mu ime Isus, kako ga je bio prozvao anđeo prije njegova začeća.	21 And after eight days were ended, so that the boy would be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, just as he was called by the Angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Kad se zatim po Mojsijevu Zakonu navršiše dani njihova čišćenja, poniješe ga u Jeruzalem da ga prikažu Gospodinu –	22 And after the days of her purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, in order to present him to the Lord,
23 kao što piše u Zakonu Gospodnjem: Svako muško prvorođenče neka se posveti Gospodinu! –	23 just as it is written in the law of the Lord, “For every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord,”
24 i da prinesu žrtvu kako je rečeno u Zakonu Gospodnjem: dvije grlice ili dva golubića.	24 and in order to offer a sacrifice, according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25 Živio tada u Jeruzalemu čovjek po imenu Šimun. Taj čovjek, pravedan i bogobojazan, iščekivaše Utjehu Izraelovu i Duh Sveti bijaše na njemu.	25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and God-fearing, awaiting the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Spirit was with him.
26 Objavio mu Duh Sveti da neće vidjeti smrti dok ne vidi Pomazanika Gospodnjega.	26 And he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit: that he would not see his own death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
27 Ponukan od Duha, dođe u Hram. I kad roditelji uniješe dijete Isusa da obave što o njemu propisuje Zakon,	27 And he went with the Spirit to the temple. And when the child Jesus was brought in by his parents, in order to act on his behalf according to the custom of the law,
28 primi ga on u naručje, blagoslovi Boga i reče:	28 he also took him up, into his arms, and he blessed God and said:
29 »Sad otpuštaš slugu svojega, Gospodaru, po riječi svojoj, u miru!	29 “Now you may dismiss your servant in peace, O Lord, according to your word.
30 Ta vidješe oči moje spasenje tvoje,	30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 koje si pripravio pred licem svih naroda:	31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples:
32 svjetlost na prosvjetljenje naroda, slavu puka svoga izraelskoga.«	32 the light of revelation to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.”
33 Otac njegov i majka divili se što se to o njemu govori.	33 And his father and mother were wondering over these things, which were spoken about him.
34 Šimun ih blagoslovi i reče Mariji, majci njegovoj: »Ovaj je evo postavljen na propast i uzdignuće mnogima u Izraelu i za znak osporavan –	34 And Simeon blessed them, and he said to his mother Mary: “Behold, this one has been set for the ruin and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and as a sign which will be contradicted.
35 a i tebi će samoj mač probosti dušu – da se razotkriju namisli mnogih srdaca!«	35 And a sword will pass through your own soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
36 A bijaše neka proročica Ana, kći Penuelova, iz plemena Ašerova, žena veoma odmakla u godinama. Nakon djevojaštva živjela je s mužem sedam godina,	36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years, and she had lived with her husband for seven years from her virginity.
37 a sama kao udovica do osamdeset i četvrte. Nije napuštala Hrama, nego je postovima i molitvama danju i noću služila Bogu.	37 And then she was a widow, even to her eighty-fourth year. And without departing from the temple, she was a servant to fasting and prayer, night and day.
38 Upravo u taj čas nadođe. Hvalila je Boga i svima koji iščekivahu otkupljenje Jeruzalema pripovijedala o djetetu.	38 And entering at the same hour, she confessed to the Lord. And she spoke about him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Israel.
39 Kad obaviše sve po Zakonu Gospodnjem, vratiše se u Galileju, u svoj grad Nazaret.	39 And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth.
40 A dijete je raslo, jačalo i napunjalo se mudrosti i milost je Božja bila na njemu.	40 Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him.
41 Isus među učiteljima Njegovi su roditelji svake godine o blagdanu Pashe išli u Jeruzalem.	41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the time of the solemnity of Passover.
42 Kad mu bijaše dvanaest godina, uziđoše po običaju blagdanskom.	42 And when he had become twelve years old, they ascended to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast day.
43 Kad su minuli ti dani, vraćahu se oni, a dječak Isus osta u Jeruzalemu, a da nisu znali njegovi roditelji.	43 And having completed the days, when they returned, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem. And his parents did not realize this.
44 Uvjereni da je među suputnicima, odoše dan hoda, a onda ga stanu tražiti među rodbinom i znancima.	44 But, supposing that he was in the company, they went a day’s journey, seeking him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 I kad ga ne nađu, vrate se u Jeruzalem tražeći ga.	45 And not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Nakon tri dana nađoše ga u Hramu gdje sjedi posred učiteljâ, sluša ih i pita.	46 And it happened that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, listening to them and questioning them.
47 Svi koji ga slušahu bijahu zaneseni razumnošću i odgovorima njegovim.	47 But all who listened to him were astonished over his prudence and his responses.
48 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.«	48 And upon seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: “Son, why have you acted this way toward us? Behold, your father and I were seeking you in sorrow.”
49 A on im reče: »Zašto ste me tražili? Niste li znali da mi je biti u onome što je Oca mojega?«	49 And he said to them: “How is it that you were seeking me? For did you not know that it is necessary for me to be in these things which are of my Father?”
50 Oni ne razumješe riječi koju im reče.	50 And they did not understand the word that he spoke to them.
51 I siđe s njima, dođe u Nazaret i bijaše im poslušan. A majka je njegova brižno čuvala sve ove uspomene u svom srcu.	51 And he descended with them and went to Nazareth. And he was subordinate to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
52 A Isus napredovaše u mudrosti, dobi i milosti kod Boga i ljudi.	52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and in age, and in grace, with God and men.
