Luke 2

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

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

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

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

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

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

At 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;

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

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

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

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

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

At 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.

And 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.

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

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

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

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

At 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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At 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.

And 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At 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.

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

At 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.

And 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.

At 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

And 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;

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

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

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

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

At 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.

And, 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.

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

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

At 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,

And 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,

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

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

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

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

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

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

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

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

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

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

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

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

At 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:

And 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;

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

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

At 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,

And 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;

At 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.

And 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.

At 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.

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

At 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At 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;

And 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.

Nguni'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;

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

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

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

At 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:

And 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.

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

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

At 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.

And 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.

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

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

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

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

At 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.

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

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

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