¹And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

¹A stalo sa v tých dňoch, že vyšiel rozkaz od cisára Augusta, aby bol popísaný celý svet.

²(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

²(Tento prvý popis sa udial vtedy, keď bol Cyrenius vladárom nad Sýriou).

³And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

³A išli všetci, aby sa zapísali, každý do svojho vlastného mesta.

⁴And 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:)

⁴A tak odišiel aj Jozef od Galilee z mesta Nazareta hore do Judska, do mesta Dávidovho, ktoré sa volá Betlehem, pretože bol z domu a z čeľade Dávidovej,

⁵To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

⁵aby sa zapísal s Máriou, sebe zasnúbenou manželkou tehotnou.

⁶And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

⁶A stalo sa, keď tam boli, že sa naplnily dni aby porodila.

⁷And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

⁷A porodila svojho prvorodeného syna a zavinula ho do plienok a uložila ho v jasliach, pretože nemali miesta v uchýlišti.

⁸And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

⁸A pastieri boli v tom istom kraji nocujúc na poli a zamieňajúc sa po strážach strážili vnoci nad svojím stádom.

⁹And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

⁹A hľa, razom sa postavil anjel Pánov vedľa nich, a sláva Pánova ich osvietila, a báli sa veľkou bázňou.

¹⁰And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

¹⁰Ale anjel im povedal: Nebojte sa, lebo hľa, zvestujem vám velikú radosť, ktorá bude všetkému ľudu,

¹¹For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

¹¹lebo narodil sa vám dnes Spasiteľ, ktorý je Kristus, Pán, v meste Dávidovom.

¹²And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

¹²A toto vám bude znamením: najdete nemluvniatko zavinuté v plienkach a ležiace v jasliach.

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

¹³A zrazu sa zjavilo s anjelom množstvo nebeského vojska chváliacich Boha a hovoriacich:

¹⁴Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

¹⁴Sláva na výsostiach Bohu a na zemi pokoj, v ľuďoch zaľúbenie!

¹⁵And 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 which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

¹⁵A stalo sa, keď odišli od nich anjeli do neba, že si povedali mužovia, tí pastieri: Nože poďme až do Betlehema a vidzme, čo sa to stalo, čo nám to oznámil Pán!

¹⁶And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

¹⁶A prišli poponáhľajúc sa a našli Máriu i Jozefa i nemluvniatko, ležiace v jasliach.

¹⁷And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

¹⁷A keď uvideli, rozhlasovali všade, čo im bolo hovorené o tom dieťatku.

¹⁸And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

¹⁸A všetci, ktorí to počuli, divili sa tomu, čo im bolo hovorené od pastierov.

¹⁹But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

¹⁹Ale Mária zachovávala všetky tie slová a uvažovala o nich vo svojom srdci.

²⁰And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

²⁰A pastieri sa navrátili oslavujúc a chváliac Boha za všetko, čo počuli a videli, tak ako im to bolo hovorené.

²¹And 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.

²¹A keď sa naplnilo osem dní, aby bolo obrezané dieťatko, nazvali jeho meno Ježiš, ktorým bolo nazvané od anjela, prv ako sa bolo počalo v živote.

²²And 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;

²²A keď sa naplnily dni jej očisťovania podľa zákona Mojžišovho, doniesli ho hore do Jeruzalema, aby ho predstavili Pánovi,

²³(As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

²³jako je napísané v zákone Pánovom, že všetko mužského pohlavia, čo otvára život, bude sa volať svätým Pánovi,

²⁴And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

²⁴a aby dali obeť podľa toho, čo je povedané v zákone Pánovom: dvoje hrdličiek alebo dve holúbätá.

²⁵And, 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 Ghost was upon him.

²⁵A hľa, bol v Jeruzaleme človek, ktorému bolo meno Simeon. Bol to človek spravedlivý a pobožný, očakávajúci potešenie Izraelovo, a Svätý Duch bol na ňom.

²⁶And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

²⁶A bolo mu zjavené od Svätého Ducha, že neuzrie smrti prv, ako by uvidel Krista Pánovho.

²⁷And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,

²⁷A prišiel v Duchu do chrámu. A keď uvodili rodičia dieťatko Ježiša, aby vzťahom na neho urobili podľa obyčaje zákona,

²⁸Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

²⁸vzal ho na ramená a dobrorečil Bohu a povedal:

²⁹Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

²⁹Teraz prepúšťaš svojho služobníka, Samovládca, podľa svojho slova, v pokoji,

³⁰For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

³⁰lebo moje oči videly tvoje spasenie,

³¹Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

³¹ktoré si prihotovil pred tvárou všetkých ľudí,

³²A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

³²svetlo na zjavenie národom a slávu svojho ľudu Izraela.

³³And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

³³A Jozef a jeho matka sa divili tomu, čo sa hovorilo o ňom.

³⁴And 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;

³⁴A Simeon ich požehnal a povedal Márii, jeho matke: Hľa, tento je položený na pád a na povstanie mnohých v Izraelovi a na znamenie, ktorému budú protirečiť -

³⁵(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

³⁵aj tvoju vlastnú dušu prenikne meč -, aby boli zjavené myšlienky z mnohých sŕdc.

³⁶And 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;

³⁶A bola istá Anna, prorokyňa, dcéra Fanuelova, z pokolenia Aserovho, pokročilá vo mnohých dňoch, ktorá žila s mužom sedem rokov od svojho panenstva.

³⁷And 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.

³⁷A tá bola vdovou až do osemdesiatich štyroch rokov, ktorá neodchádzala z chrámu pôstami a prosbami slúžiac Bohu dňom i nocou.

³⁸And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

³⁸Tá prišla v tú istú hodinu a chválila Boha a vravela o ňom všetkým, ktorí očakávali vykúpenie v Jeruzaleme.

³⁹And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

³⁹A keď vykonali všetko podľa zákona Pánovho, navrátili sa do Galilee, do svojho mesta, Nazareta.

⁴⁰And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

⁴⁰A dieťatko rástlo a silnelo duchom, plnené súc múdrosťou, a milosť Božia bola obrátená naň.

⁴¹Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.

⁴¹A jeho rodičia chodievali každého roku na veľkonočný sviatok hore do Jeruzalema.

⁴²And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

⁴²A keď mu bolo dvanásť rokov, a keď išli oni hore do Jeruzalema podľa obyčaje toho sviatku

⁴³And 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.

⁴³a keď potom vybudli tam tie dni a vracali sa domov, chlapec Ježiš zostal v Jeruzaleme, a Jozef a jeho matka nevedeli o tom.

⁴⁴But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

⁴⁴Ale domnievajúc sa, že je medzi spolucestujúcimi, odišli deň cesty a hľadali ho medzi príbuznými a známymi.

⁴⁵And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.

⁴⁵A keď ho nenašli, vrátili sa do Jeruzalema a hľadali ho.

⁴⁶And 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.

⁴⁶A stalo sa po troch dňoch, že ho našli v chráme sedieť medzi učiteľmi počúvať ich a opytovať sa ich.

⁴⁷And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

⁴⁷A všetci, ktorí ho počúvali, žasli nad jeho rozumnosťou a nad jeho odpoveďami.

⁴⁸And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

⁴⁸A keď ho uvideli, užasli, a jeho matka mu povedala: Dieťa, čo si nám to tak urobil? Hľa, tvoj otec i ja sme ťa s bolesťou hľadali.

⁴⁹And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

⁴⁹A on im povedal: Čo to, že ste ma hľadali? Či ste nevedeli, že musím byť vo veciach svojho Otca?

⁵⁰And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

⁵⁰Ale oni nerozumeli slovu, ktoré im hovoril.

⁵¹And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

⁵¹A odišiel s nimi dolu a prišiel do Nazareta a poddával sa im. A jeho matka zachovávala všetky tie reči vo svojom srdci.

⁵²And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

⁵²A Ježiš prospieval múdrosťou a vzrastom a milosťou u Boha aj u ľudí.
