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

¹Nangyari nga nang mga araw na yaon na lumabas ang isang utos mula kay Augusto Cesar, na magpatala ang buong sanglibutan.

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

²Ito ang unang talaang-mamamayan na ginawa nang si Quirinio ay gobernador sa Siria.

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

³At nagsisiparoon ang lahat upang sila'y mangatala, bawa't isa sa kaniyang sariling bayan.

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;

⁴At si Jose naman ay umahon mula sa Galilea, mula sa bayan ng Nazaret, hanggang sa Judea, sa bayan ni David, na kung tawagi'y Bet-lehem, sapagka't siya'y sa angkan at sa lahi ni David;

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

⁵Upang patala siya pati ni Maria, na magaasawa sa kaniya, na kasalukuyang kagampan.

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

⁶At nangyari, samantalang sila'y nangaroroon, at naganap ang mga kaarawang dapat siyang manganak.

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.

⁷At kaniyang ipinanganak ang panganay niyang anak na lalake; at ito'y binalot niya ng mga lampin, at inihiga sa isang pasabsaban, sapagka't wala nang lugar para sa kanila sa tuluyan.

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

⁸At may mga pastor ng tupa sa lupain ding yaon na nangasa parang, na pinagpupuyatan sa gabi ang kanilang kawan.

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

⁹At tumayo sa tabi nila ang isang anghel ng Panginoon, at ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ay nagliwanag sa palibot nila: at sila'y totoong nangatakot.

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.

¹⁰At sinabi sa kanila ng anghel, Huwag kayong mangatakot; sapagka't narito, dinadalhan ko kayo ng mabubuting balita ng malaking kagalakan, na siyang sasa buong bayan:

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

¹¹Sapagka't ipinanganak sa inyo ngayon sa bayan ni David ang isang Tagapagligtas, na siya ang Cristo ang Panginoon.

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

¹²At ito ang sa inyo'y magiging pinakatanda: Masusumpungan ninyo ang isang sanggol na nababalot ng lampin, at nakahiga sa isang pasabsaban.

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

¹³At biglang nakisama sa anghel ang isang karamihang hukbo ng langit, na nangagpupuri sa Dios, at nangagsasabi:

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

¹⁴Luwalhati sa Dios sa kataastaasan, At sa lupa'y kapayapaan sa mga taong kinalulugdan niya.

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.”

¹⁵At nangyari nang lisanin sila ng mga anghel at nangapasa langit, ang mga pastor ay nangagsangusapan. Magsiparoon nga tayo ngayon hanggang sa Bet-lehem, at tingnan natin itong nangyari, na ipinagbigay alam sa atin ng Panginoon.

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

¹⁶At sila'y dalidaling nagsiparoon at nasumpungan kapuwa si Maria at si Jose, at ang sanggol na nakahiga sa pasabsaban.

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

¹⁷At nang makita nila yaon, ay inihayag nila ang mga sinabi sa kanila tungkol sa sanggol na ito.

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

¹⁸At lahat ng nangakarinig nito ay nangagtaka sa mga bagay na sinabi sa kanila ng mga pastor.

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

¹⁹Datapuwa't iningatan ni Maria ang lahat ng mga pananalitang ito, na pinagbulaybulay sa kaniyang puso.

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

²⁰At nangagbalik ang mga pastor, na niluluwalhati at pinupuri ang Dios dahil sa lahat ng mga bagay na kanilang nangarinig at nangakita, ayon sa sinabi sa kanila.

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.

²¹At nang makaraan ang walong araw upang tuliin siya, ay tinawag na JESUS ang kaniyang pangalan, na siyang itinawag ng anghel bago siya ipinaglihi sa tiyan.

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

²²At nang maganap na ang mga araw na kanilang paglilinis alinsunod sa kautusan ni Moises, ay kanilang dinala siya sa Jerusalem, upang iharap siya sa Panginoon

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

²³(Ayon sa nasusulat sa kautusan ng Panginoon, Ang bawa't lalaking nagbubukas ng bahay-bata ay tatawaging banal sa Panginoon),

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

²⁴At upang maghandog ng hain alinsunod sa sinasabi sa kautusan ng Panginoon, Dalawang batobato, o dalawang inakay ng kalapati.

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.

²⁵At narito, may isang lalake sa Jerusalem, na nagngangalang Simeon; at ang lalaking ito'y matuwid at masipag sa kabanalan, na nag-aantay ng kaaliwan ng Israel: at sumasa kaniya ang Espiritu Santo.

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”

²⁶At ipinahayag sa kaniya ng Espiritu Santo, na di niya makikita ang kamatayan, hanggang sa makita muna niya ang Cristo ng Panginoon.

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,

²⁷At siya'y napasa templo sa Espiritu: at nang ipasok sa templo ang sanggol na si Jesus ng kaniyang mga magulang, upang sa kaniya'y magawa nila ang nauukol alinsunod sa kaugalian ng kautusan,

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

²⁸Ay tinanggap nga niya siya sa kaniyang mga bisig, at pinuri ang Dios, at nagsabi,

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

²⁹Ngayo'y papanawin mo, Panginoon, ang iyong alipin, Ayon sa iyong salita, sa kapayapaan,

³⁰Sapagka't nakita ng aking mga mata ang iyong pagliligtas,

³¹Na iyong inihanda sa unahan ng mukha ng lahat ng mga tao;

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

³²Isang ilaw upang ipahayag sa mga Gentil, At ang kaluwalhatian ng iyong bayang Israel.

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

³³At ang kaniyang ama at ang kaniyang ina ay nagsisipanggilalas sa mga bagay na sinasabi tungkol sa kaniya;

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.

³⁴At sila'y pinagpala ni Simeon, at sinabi sa kaniyang inang si Maria, Narito, ito ay itinalaga sa ikararapa at sa ikatitindig ng marami sa Israel; at pinakatandang tudlaan ng pagsalangsang:

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

³⁵Oo at paglalampasanan ng isang tabak ang iyong sariling kaluluwa; upang mangahayag ang mga pagiisip ng maraming puso.

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,

³⁶At naroroon din naman si Ana, na isang propetisa, anak na babae ni Fanuel, sa angkan ni Aser, (siya'y lubhang matanda na, at may pitong taong nakisama sa kaniyang asawa mula sa kaniyang kadalagahan,

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.

³⁷At siya'y bao nang walongpu't apat na taon), na hindi humihiwalay sa templo, at sumasamba sa gabi at araw sa pamamagitan ng mga pagaayuno at mga pagdaing.

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.

³⁸At pagdating niya sa oras ding yaon, siya'y nagpasalamat sa Dios, at nagsalita ng tungkol sa sanggol sa lahat ng nagsisipaghintay ng katubusan sa Jerusalem.

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

³⁹At nang maganap na nila ang lahat ng mga bagay na alinsunod sa kautusan ng Panginoon, ay nangagbalik sila sa Galilea, sa kanilang sariling bayang Nazaret.

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

⁴⁰At lumalaki ang bata, at lumalakas, at napupuspos ng karunungan: at sumasa kaniya ang biyaya ng Dios.

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

⁴¹At nagsisiparoon taon-taon ang kaniyang mga magulang sa Jerusalem sa kapistahan ng paskua.

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

⁴²At nang siya'y may labindalawang taon na, ay nagsiahon sila ayon sa kaugalian ng kapistahan;

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,

⁴³At nang kanilang maganap na ang mga araw, sa pagbalik nila, ay naiwan ang batang si Jesus sa Jerusalem; at di nalalaman ng kaniyang mga magulang;

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

⁴⁴Nguni't sa pagaakala nilang siya'y nasa kasamahan, ay nagsiyaon sila nang isang araw na paglalakbay; at hinahanap nila siya sa mga kamaganak at mga kakilala;

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

⁴⁵At nang di nila siya matagpuan, ay nagsipagbalik sila sa Jerusalem, na hinahanap siya.

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.

⁴⁶At nangyari, na nang makaraan ang tatlong araw, ay nangatagpuan nila siya sa templo, na nakaupo sa gitna ng mga guro, na sila'y pinakikinggan, at sila'y tinatanong:

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

⁴⁷At ang lahat ng sa kaniya'y nangakakarinig ay nagsisipanggilalas sa kaniyang katalinuhan at sa kaniyang mga sagot.

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.”

⁴⁸At nang siya'y mangakita nila, ay nangagtaka sila; at sinabi sa kaniya ng kaniyang ina, Anak, bakit ginawa mo sa amin ang ganyan? narito, ang iyong ama at ako na hinahanap kang may hapis.

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

⁴⁹At sinabi niya sa kanila, Bakit ninyo ako hinahanap? di baga talastas ninyo na dapat akong maglumagak sa bahay ng aking Ama.

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

⁵⁰At di nila naunawa ang pananalitang sa kanila'y sinabi.

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.

⁵¹At lumusong siyang kasama nila, at napasa Nazaret; at napasakop sa kanila: at iniingatan ng kaniyang ina sa kaniyang puso ang lahat ng mga pananalitang ito.

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

⁵²At lumalaki si Jesus sa karunungan at sa pangangatawan, at sa pagbibigay lugod sa Dios at sa mga tao.
