Lucas 2
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Ang Kapanganakan ni Jesus(A)
2 Nang mga araw na iyon, lumabas ang isang utos mula kay Emperador Augusto na magpatala ang lahat sa buong mundo. 2 Naganap ang unang pagpapatalang ito nang si Quirinio ang gobernador ng Syria. 3 Umuwi nga ang bawat isa sa kani-kanilang bayan upang magpatala. 4 Pumunta rin si Jose mula sa bayan ng Nazareth ng Galilea patungong Judea, sa lungsod ni David na kung tawagin ay Bethlehem dahil siya ay mula sa lipi at sambahayan ni David. 5 Kasama niyang magpapatala si Maria, na ipinagkasundo sa kanya; nagdadalang-tao na si Maria noon. 6 Habang sila'y naroroon, dumating ang oras ng panganganak ni Maria. 7 At isinilang niya ang kanyang panganay na lalaki, binalot niya ito ng lampin at inihiga sa sabsaban, sapagkat walang lugar para sa kanila sa bahay-panuluyan.
Ang mga Pastol at ang mga Anghel
8 Kinagabihan, sa lupain ding iyon ay may mga pastol sa parang na nagbabantay ng kanilang mga kawan. 9 Bigla na lang lumitaw sa harapan nila ang anghel ng Panginoon, at ang kaluwalhatian ng Diyos ay nagliwanag sa kanilang paligid; sila ay lubhang natakot. 10 Ngunit sinabi sa kanila ng anghel, “Huwag kayong matakot, sapagkat dala ko sa inyo ang mabuting balitang ikagagalak ng lahat ng tao. 11 Sa araw na ito, isinilang sa bayan ni David ang inyong Tagapagligtas, ang Cristong Panginoon. 12 At ito ang palatandaan para sa inyo: matatagpuan ninyo ang isang sanggol na binalot sa lampin at nakahiga sa sabsaban.” 13 Walang anu-ano'y sumama sa anghel ang isang malaking hukbo ng kalangitan. Sila'y nagpupuri sa Diyos at nagsasabi:
14 “Luwalhati sa Diyos sa kaitaas-taasan,
at sa daigdig, kapayapaan sa mga taong kanyang kinalulugdan.”[a]
15 Nang iwan sila ng mga anghel, sinabi ng mga pastol sa isa't isa, “Tayo na sa Bethlehem! Tingnan natin ang pangyayaring ito na ibinalita sa atin ng Panginoon.” 16 At nagmamadali silang nagpunta at natagpuan nila sina Maria, si Jose, at ang sanggol na nakahiga sa sabsaban. 17 Nang makita ito, ipinaalam nila ang mga sinabi tungkol sa sanggol na ito. 18 Namangha ang lahat ng nakarinig sa sinabi sa kanila ng mga pastol. 19 Pinahalagahan ni Maria ang lahat ng mga ito sa kanyang kalooban at pinagbulay-bulayan. 20 Nagpupuring umalis ang mga pastol at niluluwalhati ang Diyos sapagkat lahat ng kanilang nakita at narinig ay ayon sa sinabi sa kanila ng anghel. 21 Makalipas ang walong araw, tinuli ang bata at pinangalanang Jesus, ayon sa pangalang ibinigay sa kanya ng anghel bago pa siya ipinagdalang-tao.
Ang Paghahandog kay Jesus
22 Nang sumapit na ang araw ng kanilang paglilinis ayon sa Kautusan ni Moises, dinala ng kanyang mga magulang ang sanggol sa Jerusalem upang ihandog sa Panginoon. 23 Ito ay ayon sa nakasaad sa Kautusan ng Panginoon, “Ang bawat panganay na lalaki ay itatalaga sa Panginoon.” 24 Nag-alay din sila nang ayon sa sinabi sa Kautusan ng Panginoon, “dalawang batu-bato o dalawang batang kalapati.” 25 May isang tao noon sa Jerusalem na ang pangalan ay Simeon. Ang lalaking ito ay matuwid at masipag sa kabanalan at naghihintay sa pagpapalaya sa Israel. Sumasakanya ang Banal na Espiritu. 26 Ipinahayag ng Banal na Espiritu sa kanya na makikita muna niya ang Cristo ng Panginoon bago siya mamatay. 27 Sa patnubay ng Espiritu ay pumasok si Simeon sa templo. At nakita niya na dala-dala si Jesus ng kanyang mga magulang upang gawin ang nakaugalian ayon sa Kautusan. 28 Kinarga ni Simeon ang sanggol at nagpuri sa Panginoon. Sinabi niya,
29 “Ngayon, Panginoon ko, ayon sa inyong ipinangako,
mapayapa mo nang kunin ang iyong alipin.
30 Sapagkat namalas na ng aking mga mata ang iyong pagliligtas,
31 na inyong inihanda, sa harap ng lahat ng bansa:
32 Isang ilaw ng pagpapahayag sa mga Hentil
at para sa kaluwalhatian ng bansa mong Israel.”
33 Ang ama at ina ng sanggol ay namangha sa mga sinabi tungkol sa kanya. 34 At binasbasan sila ni Simeon at sinabi kay Maria na ina ng sanggol, “Tandaan mo ang sasabihin ko: itinalaga ang batang ito para sa pagbagsak at pagbangon ng marami sa Israel. Siya'y magiging tanda na sasalungatin ng marami, 35 at mahahayag ang iniisip ng marami—at tila isang balaraw ang tatarak sa iyong puso.” 36 Naroon din si Ana, isang propetang babae na anak ni Fanuel, mula sa lipi ni Aser. Napakatanda na niya. Pitong taon niyang nakapiling ang kanyang asawa matapos maikasal. 37 Ngayon ay isa na siyang balo sa edad na walumpu't apat. Hindi niya nililisan ang templo kundi araw at gabi siyang nag-aayuno at nananalangin doon. 38 Pagdating niya nang mga oras na iyon, nagpuri siya sa Diyos at nagsimulang magsalita tungkol sa sanggol sa lahat ng mga naghihintay ng katubusan ng Israel.
Ang Pagbabalik sa Nazareth
39 Pagkatapos nilang maisagawa ang lahat ng ayon sa Kautusan ng Panginoon, bumalik ang mga magulang ni Jesus sa kanilang bayang Nazareth sa Galilea. 40 Lumaking malusog ang bata, puspos ng karunungan at sumasakanya ang kagandahang-loob ng Diyos.
Ang Batang si Jesus sa Templo
41 Taun-taon, tuwing Pista ng Paskuwa, nagpupunta sa Jerusalem ang mga magulang ni Jesus. 42 Nang naglabindalawang taong gulang na siya, umahon sila patungo sa kapistahan ayon sa kaugalian. 43 Nang matapos ang pista at sila ay pabalik na, nanatili ang batang si Jesus sa Jerusalem na hindi namamalayan ng kanyang mga magulang. 44 Sa pag-aakalang kasama nila sa paglalakbay si Jesus sa kanilang grupo, tumagal nang isang araw bago nila ito hinanap sa kanilang mga kamag-anak at kakilala. 45 Nang hindi siya matagpuan, bumalik sila sa Jerusalem upang hanapin siya. 46 Makalipas ang tatlong araw, natagpuan nila ito na nakaupo sa templo, sa kalagitnaan ng mga guro—nakikinig at nagtatanong sa kanila. 47 Ang lahat ng nakapakinig sa kanya ay manghang-mangha sa kanyang katalinuhan at mga sagot. 48 Nang makita siya ng kanyang mga magulang, namangha sila. Sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang ina, “Anak, bakit ganito ang ginawa mo sa amin? Ako at ang iyong ama ay nag-aalala sa kahahanap sa iyo.” 49 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Bakit po ninyo ako hinahanap? Hindi ba ninyo alam na dapat ay nasa tahanan ako ng aking ama?” 50 Ngunit hindi nila naunawaan ang sinabi niya sa kanila. 51 Umalis siyang kasama nila pauwi sa Nazareth at siya ay naging masunurin sa kanila. At pinakaingatan ng kanyang ina ang mga bagay na ito sa kanyang puso. 52 Lumago si Jesus sa karunungan at pangangatawan, at naging kalugud-lugod sa Diyos at sa mga tao.

Luke 2
New International Version
The Birth of Jesus
2 In those days Caesar Augustus(A) issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.(B) 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.)(C) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem(D) the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him(E) and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel(F) of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid.(G) I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior(H) has been born to you; he is the Messiah,(I) the Lord.(J) 12 This will be a sign(K) to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace(L) to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.(M) 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.(N) 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God(O) for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child,(P) he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.(Q)
Jesus Presented in the Temple
22 When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses,(R) Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”[b]),(S) 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”[c](T)
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout.(U) He was waiting for the consolation of Israel,(V) and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required,(W) 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,(X)
you may now dismiss[d] your servant in peace.(Y)
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,(Z)
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and the glory of your people Israel.”(AA)
33 The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother:(AB) “This child is destined to cause the falling(AC) and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”
36 There was also a prophet,(AD) Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four.[e](AE) She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.(AF) 38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.(AG)
39 When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.(AH) 40 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.(AI)
The Boy Jesus at the Temple
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover.(AJ) 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed(AK) at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother(AL) said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father(AM) and I have been anxiously searching for you.”
49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”[f](AN) 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them.(AO)
51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them(AP) and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.(AQ) 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.(AR)
Luke 2
King James Version
2 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 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.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 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.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 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.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 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.
22 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;
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
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 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.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 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,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
34 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;
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 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;
37 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.
38 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.
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 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.
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 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.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 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.
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 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.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
