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

¹Neil päevil sündis, et keiser Augustus andis käsu kirjutada üles kogu riigi rahvas.

²This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

²See esmakordne üleskirjutus toimus ajal, kui Küreenius oli Süüria maavalitseja.

³And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city.

³Ja kõik läksid ennast kirja panema igaüks oma linna.

⁴And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;

⁴Nii läks ka Joosep Galileamaalt Naatsaretist üles Juudamaale Taaveti linna, mida hüütakse Petlemmaks, sest ta oli Taaveti soost ja pärusmaalt,

⁵to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child.

⁵et lasta end üles kirjutada koos Maarjaga, oma kihlatuga, kes oli lapseootel.

⁶And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.

⁶Aga nende sealoleku aegu said päevad täis ja Maarja pidi sünnitama.

⁷And 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 in the inn.

⁷Ta tõi ilmale oma esimese poja ning mähkis ta mähkmetesse ja asetas sõime, sest nende jaoks polnud majas kohta.

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

⁸Karjased olid seal paigus õitsil ja valvasid öösel oma karja.

⁹And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

⁹Issanda ingel seisatas nende juures ja Issanda kirkus säras nende ümber ja nad kartsid üliväga.

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

¹⁰Aga ingel ütles neile: 'Ärge kartke! Sest vaata, ma kuulutan teile suurt rõõmu, mis saab osaks kogu rahvale,

¹¹for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.

¹¹et teile on täna sündinud Taaveti linnas Päästja, kes on Issand Kristus.

¹²And this [is] the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.

¹²Ja see on teile tunnustäheks: te leiate lapsukese mähitud ja sõimes magavat.'

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

¹³Äkitselt olid koos ingliga taevased väed Jumalat kiitmas:

¹⁴Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.

¹⁴'Au olgu Jumalale kõrges ja maa peal rahu, inimestest hea meel!'

¹⁵And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

¹⁵Ja sündis, kui inglid olid nende juurest ära läinud taevasse, et karjased ütlesid üksteisele: 'Läki nüüd Petlemma, et näha saada seda, mis on sündinud, mis Issand on teatanud meile!'

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

¹⁶Ja nad läksid rutates ja leidsid Maarja ja Joosepi ja lapsukese, kes magas sõimes.

¹⁷And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child.

¹⁷Aga nähes teda teatasid nad sõnumist, mis neile oli räägitud selle lapse kohta.

¹⁸And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.

¹⁸Kõik, kes kuulsid, panid seda imeks, mida karjased olid neile kõnelnud.

¹⁹But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.

¹⁹Ent Maarja jättis kõik need lood meelde, mõtiskledes nende üle oma südames.

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

²⁰Karjased pöördusid tagasi, ülistades ja kiites Jumalat kõige eest, mis nad olid kuulnud ja näinud. Kõik oli olnud nii, nagu neile oli räägitud.

²¹And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

²¹Kui kaheksa päeva sai täis ja tuli aeg lapse ümberlõikamiseks, siis pandi talle nimeks Jeesus, mille oli ütelnud ingel, enne kui laps sai ema ihusse.

²²And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord

²²Ja kui nende puhastuspäevad Moosese Seaduse järgi said täis, viisid nad lapse üles Jeruusalemma, et teda seada Issanda ette,

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

²³nõnda nagu on kirjutatud Issanda Seaduses: 'Iga poeglast, kes on avanud lapsekoja, hüütagu Issandale pühaks',

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.

²⁴ja et tuua Issanda Seaduses öeldu järgi ohvriks 'paar turteltuvi või kaks tuvipoega'.

²⁵And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

²⁵Ja vaata, Jeruusalemmas oli mees, Siimeon nimi. See mees oli õiglane ja vaga ning ootas Iisraeli lohutust, ja Püha Vaim oli tema peal.

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

²⁶Püha Vaim oli talle ennustanud, et ta ei sure enne, kui ta on näinud Issanda Messiat.

²⁷And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law,

²⁷Ta tuli Vaimu ajel pühakotta. Ja kui vanemad tõid sinna lapse Jeesuse, et toimida temaga Seaduse sätte järgi,

²⁸then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

²⁸siis ta võttis tema sülle, ülistas Jumalat ja ütles:

²⁹Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord, According to thy word, in peace;

²⁹'Issand, nüüd sa lased oma sulasel lahkuda rahus oma ütlust mööda,

³⁰For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

³⁰sest mu silmad on näinud sinu päästet,

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

³¹mille sa oled valmistanud kõigi rahvaste silme ees:

³²A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel.

³²valgust, mis on ilmutuseks paganaile, ja kirkust sinu rahvale Iisraelile.'

³³And his father and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him;

³³Jeesuse isa ja ema panid seda imeks, mida tema kohta räägiti.

³⁴and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;

³⁴Ja Siimeon õnnistas neid ja ütles Maarjale, tema emale: 'Vaata, see laps on seatud languseks ja tõusuks paljudele Iisraelis ja tähiseks, mille vastu räägitakse -

³⁵yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.

³⁵ja sinu endagi hinge läbistab mõõk -, et tuleksid ilmsiks paljude südamete mõtted.'

³⁶And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,

³⁶Seal oli ka prohvet Hanna, Penueli tütar, Aaseri suguharust, kes oli kõrgesse ikka jõudnud. Ta oli mehega elanud seitse aastat pärast oma neitsipõlve

³⁷and she had been a widow even unto fourscore and four years), who departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day.

³⁷ja lesk olnud kuni kaheksakümne neljanda eluaastani. Tema ei lahkunud pühakojast, vaid teenis Jumalat ööd ja päevad paastumiste ja palvetamistega.

³⁸And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

³⁸Tema tuli sel tunnil sinna ja ülistas Jumalat ning kõneles Jeesusest kõigile, kes ootasid Jeruusalemma lunastust.

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

³⁹Kui nad olid täitnud kõik, mis tuli teha Issanda Seaduse järgi, siis nad pöördusid tagasi Galileasse oma külla Naatsaretti.

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

⁴⁰Laps aga kasvas ja sai tugevaks ning täitus tarkusega. Ja Jumala arm oli tema peal.

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

⁴¹Tema vanemad käisid igal aastal paasapühadel Jeruusalemmas.

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

⁴²Kui Jeesus oli saanud kaheteistkümneaastaseks, läksid nad üheskoos pühadeaja kombe järgi üles Jeruusalemma.

⁴³and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not;

⁴³Kui nad olid pärast nende päevade möödumist teel kodu poole, jäi Jeesus Jeruusalemma, ent tema vanemad ei teadnud seda.

⁴⁴but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance:

⁴⁴Aga et nad arvasid tema olevat teekaaslaste seas, käisid nad ära ühe päeva tee ja hakkasid alles siis otsima teda sugulaste ja tuttavate juurest.

⁴⁵and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.

⁴⁵Ja kui nad teda ei leidnud, pöördusid nad teda otsides tagasi Jeruusalemma.

⁴⁶And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions:

⁴⁶Kolme päeva pärast sündis, et nad leidsid Jeesuse pühakojas istumas õpetajate keskel neid kuulamas ja küsitlemas.

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

⁴⁷Kõik, kes teda kuulsid, olid hämmastunud tema mõistusest ja ta vastustest.

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

⁴⁸Ja Jeesuse vanemad olid teda nähes jahmunud ning ta ema ütles talle: 'Poeg, miks sa oled meile nõnda teinud? Vaata, su isa ja mina oleme sind südamevaluga otsinud.'

⁴⁹And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father's house?

⁴⁹Ent tema ütles neile: 'Miks te siis olete mind otsinud? Kas te ei teadnud, et ma pean olema neis paigus, mis on mu Isa päralt?'

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

⁵⁰Aga nemad ei mõistnud neid sõnu, mis ta neile rääkis.

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

⁵¹Jeesus läks koos nendega ja tuli Naatsaretti ning oli neile allaheitlik. Tema ema hoidis kõik need lood oma südames alal.

⁵²And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

⁵²Ja Jeesus kasvas tarkuses ja pikkuses ja armus Jumala ja inimeste juures.
