1 U to vreme pak iziđe zapovest od ćesara Avgusta da se prepiše sav svet.
1 Y ACONTECIÓ en aquellos días que salió edicto de parte de Augusto César, que toda la tierra fuese empadronada.
1 Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
2 Ovo je bio prvi prepis za vladanja Kirinova Sirijom.
2 Este empadronamiento primero fué hecho siendo Cirenio gobernador de la Siria.
2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3 I pođoše svi da se prepišu, svaki u svoj grad.
3 E iban todos para ser empadronados, cada uno á su ciudad.
3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
4 Tada pođe i Josif iz Galileje, iz grada Nazareta u Judeju u grad Davidov koji se zvaše Vitlejem, jer on beše iz doma i plemena Davidovog,
4 Y subió José de Galilea, de la ciudad de Nazaret, á Judea, á la ciudad de David, que se llama Bethlehem, por cuanto era de la casa y familia de David;
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,
5 da se prepiše s Marijom, isprošenom za njega ženom, koja beše trudna.
5 Para ser empadronado con María su mujer, desposada con él, la cual estaba en cinta.
5 to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
6 I kad onamo behu, dođe vreme da ona rodi.
6 Y aconteció que estando ellos allí, se cumplieron los días en que ella había de parir.
6 While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
7 I rodi Sina svog prvenca, i povi Ga, i metnu Ga u jasle; jer im ne beše mesta u gostionici.
7 Y parió á su hijo primogénito, y le envolvió en pañales, y acostóle en un pesebre, porque no había lugar para ellos en el mesón.
7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 I behu pastiri u onom kraju koji čuvahu noćnu stažu kod stada svog.
8 Y había pastores en la misma tierra, que velaban y guardaban las vigilias de la noche sobre su ganado.
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
9 I gle, anđeo Gospodnji stade među njima, i slava Gospodnja obasja ih; i uplašiše se vrlo.
9 Y he aquí el ángel del Señor vino sobre ellos, y la claridad de Dios los cercó de resplandor; y tuvieron gran temor.
9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 I reče im anđeo: Ne bojte se; jer gle, javljam vam veliku radost koja će biti svemu narodu.
10 Mas el ángel les dijo: No temáis; porque he aquí os doy nuevas de gran gozo, que será para todo el pueblo:
10 The 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.
11 Jer vam se danas rodi spas, koji je Hristos Gospod, u gradu Davidovom.
11 Que os ha nacido hoy, en la ciudad de David, un Salvador, que es CRISTO el Señor.
11 For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 I eto vam znaka: Naći ćete dete povito gde leži u jaslama.
12 Y esto os [será] por señal: hallaréis al niño envuelto en pañales, echado en un pesebre.
12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
13 I ujedanput postade s anđelom mnoštvo vojnika nebeskih, koji hvaljahu Boga govoreći:
13 Y repentinamente fué con el ángel una multitud de los ejércitos celestiales, que alababan á Dios, y decían:
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God and saying,
14 Gloria en las alturas á Dios, y en la tierra paz, buena voluntad para con los hombres.
14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
15 I kad anđeli otidoše od njih na nebo, pastiri govorahu jedan drugom: Hajdemo do Vitlejema, da vidimo to što se tamo dogodilo šta nam kaza Gospod.
15 Y aconteció que como los ángeles se fueron de ellos al cielo, los pastores dijeron los unos á los otros: Pasemos pues hasta Bethlehem, y veamos esto que ha sucedido, que el Señor nos ha manifestado.
15 When the angels went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 I dođoše brzo, i nađoše Mariju i Josifa i dete gde leži u jaslama.
16 Y vinieron apriesa, y hallaron á María, y á José, y al niño acostado en el pesebre.
16 They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
17 A kad videše, kazaše sve što im je kazano za to dete.
17 Y viéndolo, hicieron notorio lo que les había sido dicho del niño.
17 When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18 I svi koji čuše diviše se tome što im kazaše pastiri.
18 Y todos los que oyeron, se maravillaron de lo que los pastores les decían.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19 A Marija čuvaše sve reči ove i slagaše ih u srcu svom.
19 Mas María guardaba todas estas cosas, confiriéndolas en su corazón.
19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 I vratiše se pastiri slaveći i hvaleći Boga za sve što čuše i videše, kao što im bi kazano.
20 Y se volvieron los pastores glorificando y alabando á Dios de todas las cosas que habían oído y visto, como les había sido dicho.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them.
21 I kad se navrši osam dana da Ga obrežu, nadenuše Mu ime Isus, kao što je anđeo rekao dok se još nije bio ni zametnuo u utrobi.
21 Y pasados los ocho días para circuncidar al niño, llamaron su nombre JESÚS; el cual [le] fué puesto por el ángel antes que él fuese concebido en el vientre.
21 When 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.
22 I kad dođe vreme da idu na molitvu po zakonu Mojsijevom, doneše Ga u Jerusalim da Ga metnu pred Gospoda,
22 Y como se cumplieron los días de la purificación de ella, conforme á la ley de Moisés, le trajeron á Jerusalem para presentarle al Señor,
22 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
23 (kao što je napisano u zakonu Gospodnjem: Da se svako dete muško koje najpre otvori matericu posveti Gospodu;)
23 (Como está escrito en la ley del Señor: Todo varón que abriere la matriz, será llamado santo al Señor),
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
24 i da prinesu prilog, kao što je rečeno u zakonu Gospodnjem, dve grlice, ili dva golubića.
24 Y para dar la ofrenda, conforme á lo que está dicho en la ley del Señor: un par de tórtolas, ó dos palominos.
24 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.”
25 I gle, beše u Jerusalimu čovek po imenu Simeun, i taj čovek beše pravedan i pobožan, koji čekaše utehe Izrailjeve, i Duh Sveti beše u njemu.
25 Y he aquí, había un hombre en Jerusalem, llamado Simeón, y este hombre, justo y pío, esperaba la consolación de Israel: y el Espíritu Santo era sobre él.
25 Behold, 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.
26 I njemu beše Sveti Duh kazao da neće videti smrt dok ne vidi Hrista Gospodnjeg.
26 Y había recibido respuesta del Espíritu Santo, que no vería la muerte antes que viese al Cristo del Señor.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 I kaza mu Duh te dođe u crkvu; i kad donesoše roditelji dete Isusa da svrše za Njega zakon po običaju,
27 Y vino por Espíritu al templo. Y cuando metieron al niño Jesús sus padres en el templo, para hacer por él conforme á la costumbre de la ley,
27 He 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,
28 i on Ga uze na ruke svoje, i hvali Boga i reče:
28 Entonces él le tomó en sus brazos, y bendijo á Dios, y dijo:
28 then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
29 Sad otpuštaš s mirom slugu svog, Gospode, po reči svojoj;
29 Ahora despides, Señor, á tu siervo, conforme á tu palabra, en paz;
29 “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
30 Jer videše oči moje spasenje Tvoje,
30 Porque han visto mis ojos tu salvación,
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 Koje si ugotovio pred licem svih naroda,
31 La cual has aparejado en presencia de todos los pueblos;
31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
32 Videlo, da obasja neznabošce, i slavu naroda Tvog Izrailja.
32 Luz para ser revelada á los Gentiles, y la gloria de tu pueblo Israel.
32 a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
33 I Josif i mati Njegova čuđahu se tome što se govoraše za Njega.
33 Y José y su madre estaban maravillados de las cosas que se decían de él.
33 Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
34 I blagoslovi ih Simeun, i reče Mariji, materi Njegovoj: Gle, Ovaj leži da mnoge obori i podigne u Izrailju, i da bude znak protiv koga će se govoriti
34 Y los bendijo Simeón, y dijo á su madre María: He aquí, éste es puesto para caída y para levantamiento de muchos en Israel; y para señal á la que será contradicho;
34 Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35 (a i tebi samoj probošće nož dušu), da se otkriju misli mnogih srca.
35 Y una espada traspasará tu alma de ti misma, para que sean manifestados los pensamientos de muchos corazones.
35 Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
36 I beše Ana proročica, kći Fanuilova, od kolena Asirovog; ona je ostarela, a sedam je godina živela s mužem od devojaštva svog,
36 Estaba también [allí] Ana, profetisa, hija de Phanuel, de la tribu de Aser; la cual había venido en grande edad, y había vivido con su marido siete años desde su virginidad;
36 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,
37 i udova oko osamdeset i četiri godine, koja ne odlažaše od crkve, i služaše Bogu dan i noć postom i molitvama.
37 Y era viuda de hasta ochenta y cuatro años, que no se apartaba del templo, sirviendo de noche y de día con ayunos y oraciones.
37 and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
38 I ona u taj čas dođe, i hvaljaše Gospoda i govoraše za Njega svima koji čekahu spasenja u Jerusalimu.
38 Y ésta, sobreviniendo en la misma hora, juntamente confesaba al Señor, y hablaba de él á todos los que esperaban la redención en Jerusalem.
38 Coming 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.
39 I kad svršiše sve po zakonu Gospodnjem, vratiše se u Galileju u grad svoj Nazaret.
39 Mas como cumplieron todas las cosas según la ley del Señor, se volvieron á Galilea, á su ciudad de Nazaret.
39 When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
40 A dete rastijaše i jačaše u duhu, i punjaše se premudrosti, i blagodat Božija beše na Njemu.
40 Y el niño crecía, y fortalecíase, y se henchía de sabiduría; y la gracia de Dios era sobre él.
40 The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
41 I roditelji Njegovi iđahu svake godine u Jerusalim o prazniku pashe.
41 E iban sus padres todos los años á Jerusalem en la fiesta de la Pascua.
41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
42 I kad Mu bi dvanaest godina, dođoše oni u Jerusalim po običaju praznika;
42 Y cuando fué de doce años, subieron ellos á Jerusalem conforme á la costumbre del día de la fiesta.
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast;
43 i kad dane provedoše i oni se vratiše, osta dete Isus u Jerusalimu; i ne znade Josif i mati Njegova;
43 Y acabados los días, volviendo ellos, se quedó el niño Jesús en Jerusalem, sin saberlo José y su madre.
43 and 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,
44 nego misleći da je s društvom, otidoše dan hoda, i stadoše Ga tražiti po rodbini i po znancima.
44 Y pensando que estaba en la compañía, anduvieron camino de un día; y le buscaban entre los parientes y entre los conocidos:
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45 I ne našavši Ga vratiše se u Jerusalim da Ga traže.
45 Mas como no le hallasen, volvieron á Jerusalem buscándole.
45 When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
46 I posle tri dana nađoše Ga u crkvi gde sedi među učiteljima, i sluša ih, i pita ih,
46 Y aconteció, que tres días después le hallaron en el templo, sentado en medio de los doctores, oyéndoles y preguntándoles.
46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
47 i svi koji Ga slušahu divljahu se Njegovom razumu i odgovorima.
47 Y todos los que le oían, se pasmaban de su entendimiento y de sus respuestas.
47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 I videvši Ga začudiše se, i mati Njegova reče Mu: Sine! Šta učini nama tako? Evo otac tvoj i ja sa strahom tražismo te.
48 Y cuando le vieron, se maravillaron; y díjole su madre: Hijo, ¿por qué nos has hecho así? He aquí, tu padre y yo te hemos buscado con dolor.
48 When 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.”
49 I reče im: Zašto ste me tražili? Zar ne znate da meni treba u onom biti što je Oca mog?
49 Entonces él les dice: ¿Qué hay? ¿por qué me buscabais? ¿No sabíais que en los negocios de mi Padre me conviene estar?
49 He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50 I oni ne razumeše reči što im reče.
50 Mas ellos no entendieron las palabras que les habló.
50 They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
51 I siđe s njima i dođe u Nazaret; i beše im poslušan. I mati Njegova čuvaše sve reči ove u srcu svom.
51 Y descendió con ellos, y vino á Nazaret, y estaba sujeto á ellos. Y su madre guardaba todas estas cosas en su corazón.
51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 I Isus napredovaše u premudrosti i u rastu i u milosti kod Boga i kod ljudi.
52 Y Jesús crecía en sabiduría, y en edad, y en gracia para con Dios y los hombres.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Luke 2:14: “good will toward men” or “peace to men of good will”?
The angels’ song differs by a single Greek letter. Most manuscripts, the Patriarchal Text and the Orthodox Doxology read eudokia: “glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Several of the oldest manuscripts read eudokias: “peace among men of his good pleasure,” which the Latin rendered “men of good will.” Both readings place the source of peace in God’s favour.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The production, again, of the Duodecad of the Æons, is indicated by the fact that the Lord was twelve years of age when He disputed with the teachers of the law, and by the election of the apostles, for of these there were twelve.
In Thy good pleasure lies our peace. The body by its own weight gravitates towards its own place.

See, for instance, what saith the Virgin even to Himself: "Behold, Thy father and I have sought Thee." For if this suspicion had been entertained, neither would He any longer have been accounted to be a Son of David, and this opinion not being held, many other evils besides would have arisen.
