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

¹U one dane izađe naredba cara Augusta da se provede popis svega svijeta.

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

²Bijaše to prvi popis izvršen za Kvirinijeva upravljanja Sirijom.

³All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.

³Svi su išli na popis, svaki u svoj grad.

⁴Joseph 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 family of David;

⁴Tako 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 -

⁵to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.

⁵da se podvrgne popisu zajedno sa svojom zaručnicom Marijom koja bijaše trudna.

⁶It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth.

⁶I dok se bili ondje, navršilo joj se vrijeme da rodi.

⁷She brought forth her firstborn son, and she wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.

⁷I porodi sina svoga, prvorođenca, povi ga i položi u jasle jer za njih nije bilo mjesta u svratištu.

⁸There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.

⁸A u tom kraju bijahu pastiri: pod vedrim su nebom čuvali noćnu stražu kod svojih stada.

⁹Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

⁹Anđeo im Gospodnji pristupi i slava ih Gospodnja obasja! Silno se prestrašiše.

¹⁰The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.

¹⁰No anđeo im reče: "Ne bojte se! Evo javljam vam blagovijest, veliku radost za sav narod!

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

¹¹Danas vam se u gradu Davidovu rodio Spasitelj - Krist, Gospodin.

¹²This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”

¹²I evo vam znaka: naći ćete novorođenče povijeno gdje leži u jaslama."

¹³Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying,

¹³I odjednom se anđelu pridruži silna nebeska vojska hvaleći Boga i govoreći:

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

¹⁴"Slava na visinama Bogu, a na zemlji mir ljudima, miljenicima njegovim!"

¹⁵It happened, when the angels went away from them into the sky, that the shepherds said one to another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”

¹⁵Čim 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."

¹⁶They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.

¹⁶I pohite te pronađu Mariju, Josipa i novorođenče gdje leži u jaslama.

¹⁷When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.

¹⁷Pošto sve pogledaše, ispripovijediše što im bijaše rečeno o tom djetetu.

¹⁸All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.

¹⁸A svi koji su to čuli divili se tome što su im pripovijedali pastiri.

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

¹⁹Marija u sebi pohranjivaše sve te događaje i prebiraše ih u svome srcu.

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

²⁰Pastiri se zatim vratiše slaveći i hvaleći Boga za sve što su čuli i vidjeli kako im je bilo rečeno.

²¹When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

²¹Kad se navršilo osam dana da bude obrezan, nadjenuše mu ime Isus, kako ga je bio prozvao anđeo prije njegova začeća.

²²When 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

²²Kad se zatim po Mojsijevu Zakonu navršiše dani njihova čišćenja, poniješe ga u Jeruzalem da ga prikažu Gospodinu -

²³(as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”), Exodus 13:2,12

²³kao što piše u Zakonu Gospodnjem: Svako muško prvorođenče neka se posveti Gospodinu! -

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.” Leviticus 12:8

²⁴i da prinesu žrtvu kako je rečeno u Zakonu Gospodnjem: dvije grlice ili dva golubića.

²⁵Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.

²⁵Živio tada u Jeruzalemu čovjek po imenu Šimun. Taj čovjek, pravedan i bogobojazan, iščekivaše Utjehu Izraelovu i Duh Sveti bijaše na njemu.

²⁶It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew) both mean “Anointed One”

²⁶Objavio mu Duh Sveti da neće vidjeti smrti dok ne vidi Pomazanika Gospodnjega.

²⁷He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,

²⁷Ponukan od Duha, dođe u Hram. I kad roditelji uniješe dijete Isusa da obave što o njemu propisuje Zakon,

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

²⁸primi ga on u naručje, blagoslovi Boga i reče:

²⁹“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;

²⁹"Sad otpuštaš slugu svojega, Gospodaru, po riječi svojoj, u miru!

³⁰Ta vidješe oči moje spasenje tvoje,

³¹koje si pripravio pred licem svih naroda:

³²a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”

³²svjetlost na prosvjetljenje naroda, slavu puka svoga izraelskoga."

³³Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him,

³³Otac njegov i majka divili se što se to o njemu govori.

³⁴and Simeon blessed them, and said to 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.

³⁴Šimun ih blagoslovi i reče Mariji, majci njegovoj: "Ovaj je evo postavljen na propast i uzdignuće mnogima u Izraelu i za znak osporavan -

³⁵Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

³⁵a i tebi će samoj mač probosti dušu - da se razotkriju namisli mnogih srdaca!"

³⁶There 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,

³⁶A bijaše neka proročica Ana, kći Penuelova, iz plemena Ašerova, žena veoma odmakla u godinama. Nakon djevojaštva živjela je s mužem sedam godina,

³⁷and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.

³⁷a sama kao udovica do osamdeset i četvrte. Nije napuštala Hrama, nego je postovima i molitvama danju i noću služila Bogu.

³⁸Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

³⁸Upravo u taj čas nadođe. Hvalila je Boga i svima koji iščekivahu otkupljenje Jeruzalema pripovijedala o djetetu.

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

³⁹Kad obaviše sve po Zakonu Gospodnjem, vratiše se u Galileju, u svoj grad Nazaret.

⁴⁰The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

⁴⁰A dijete je raslo, jačalo i napunjalo se mudrosti i milost je Božja bila na njemu.

⁴¹His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.

⁴¹Njegovi su roditelji svake godine o blagdanu Pashe išli u Jeruzalem.

⁴²When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast,

⁴²Kad mu bijaše dvanaest godina, uziđoše po običaju blagdanskom.

⁴³and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,

⁴³Kad su minuli ti dani, vraćahu se oni, a dječak Isus osta u Jeruzalemu, a da nisu znali njegovi roditelji.

⁴⁴but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey, and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.

⁴⁴Uvjereni da je među suputnicima, odoše dan hoda, a onda ga stanu tražiti među rodbinom i znancima.

⁴⁵When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.

⁴⁵I kad ga ne nađu, vrate se u Jeruzalem tražeći ga.

⁴⁶It happened after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.

⁴⁶Nakon tri dana nađoše ga u Hramu gdje sjedi posred učitelja, sluša ih i pita.

⁴⁷All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

⁴⁷Svi koji ga slušahu bijahu zaneseni razumnošću i odgovorima njegovim.

⁴⁸When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you.”

⁴⁸Kad ga ugledaše, zapanjiše se, a majka mu njegova reče: "Sinko, zašto si nam to učinio? Gle, otac tvoj i ja žalosni smo te tražili."

⁴⁹He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

⁴⁹A on im reče: "Zašto ste me tražili? Niste li znali da mi je biti u onome što je Oca mojega?"

⁵⁰They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.

⁵⁰Oni ne razumješe riječi koju im reče.

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

⁵¹I siđe s njima, dođe u Nazaret i bijaše im poslušan. A majka je njegova brižno čuvala sve ove uspomene u svom srcu.

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

⁵²A Isus napredovaše u mudrosti, dobi i milosti kod Boga i ljudi.
