| [1]And it came to passe in those dayes, yt there went out a commaundement fro Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed |
[1]AND it happened in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, to take a census of all the people in his empire. |
| [2](And this first taxing was made, when Syrenius was liefetenaunt in Syria. |
[2]This first census took place during the governorship of Quirinius in Syria. |
| [3]And euery man went vnto his owne citie, to be taxed |
[3]And every man went to be registered in his own city. |
| [4]And Ioseph also went vp from Galilee, out of the citie Nazareth, into Iurie, vnto the citie of Dauid, whiche is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and image of Dauid |
[4]Joseph also went up from Nazareth, a city of Galilee, to Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; because he was of the house and family of David; |
| [5]To be taxed with Marie his spoused wyfe, which was with chylde |
[5]With his acquired wife Mary, while she was with child, that they might be registered there. |
| [6]And so it was, that whyle they were there, the dayes were accomplysshed, that she shoulde be deliuered |
[6]And it came to pass while they were there, that her days of deliverance were to be fulfilled. |
| [7]And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadlyng clothes, & layde hym in a manger, because there was no rowme for them in the Inne |
[7]And she gave birth to her first-born son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because they had no place where they were lodging. |
| [8]There were in ye same countrey sheepheardes, abydyng in the fielde, & watchyng their flocke by nyght |
[8]Now there were shepherds in that region, where they were staying, and they were watching their flocks at night. |
| [9]And loe, the Angel of the Lorde stoode harde by them, and the glorie of the Lorde shone rounde about them, & they were sore afrayde |
[9]And behold, the angel of God came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone on them; and they were seized with a great fear. |
| [10]And the Angel sayde vnto them, be not afrayde: For beholde, I bryng you tydynges of great ioy, that shall come to all people |
[10]And the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great joy, which will be to all the world. |
| [11]For vnto you is borne this daye, in the citie of Dauid, a sauiour, which is Christ the Lorde |
[11]For today is born to you in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Lord Christ. |
| [12]And take this for a signe: Ye shal finde the childe wrapped in swadling clothes, and layde in a manger |
[12]And this is a sign for you; You will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. |
| [13]And straightway, there was with the Angel, a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praysyng God, and saying |
[13]And suddenly there appeared with the angel, many hosts of heaven, praising God, and saying, |
| [14]Glorie to God on hye, and peace on the earth, and vnto men a good wyll |
[14]Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good hope for men. |
| [15]And it came to passe, assoone as the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, the sheepheardes said one to another: Let vs go nowe euen vnto Bethlehem, and see this thyng that is come to passe, whiche the Lorde hath shewed vnto vs |
[15]And it happened, when the angels departed from them and went to heaven, the shepherds spoke to one another, saying, Let us go to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, as the Lord has shown to us. |
| [16]And they came with haste, and founde Marie and Ioseph, and the babe layde in a manger |
[16]And they came very hurriedly, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe laid in the manger. |
| [17]And when they had seene it, they publisshed abrode the saying whiche was tolde them, of that childe |
[17]When they saw it, they made known the word which was spoken to them concerning the boy. |
| [18]And all they that hearde it, wondred at those thinges which were tolde them of the sheepheardes |
[18]And all who heard it were amazed at the things which were spoken by the shepherds. |
| [19]But Marie kept al those sayinges, and pondered them in her heart |
[19]But Mary treasured all these things, and dwelt on them in her heart. |
| [20]And the sheepheardes returned, praysyng & laudyng God, for all the thinges that they had hearde and seene, euen as it was tolde vnto them |
[20]And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they had seen and heard, as it was spoken to them. |
| [21]And when the eygth day was come, that the chylde shoulde be circumcised, his name was called Iesus, whiche was so named of the Angel, before he was conceaued in the wombe |
[21]And when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise the child, his name was called Jesus; because he was named by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. |
| [22]And when the dayes of her purification, after the lawe of Moyses, were accomplished, they brought hym to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lord |
[22]And when the days for their purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; |
| [23](As it is written in the lawe of ye Lord: Euery man chylde that firste openeth the wombe, shalbe called holy to ye lord |
[23]As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; |
| [24]And to offer, as it is sayde in the lawe of the Lorde, a payre of turtle doues, or two young pigions |
[24]And to offer a sacrifice, as it is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. |
| [25]And beholde, there was a man in Hierusalem, whose name was Simeon: and the same man was iust and godlye, and loked for the consolation of Israel, and the holy ghost was vpon hym |
[25]Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simon; and this man was pious and righteous, waiting for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him. |
| [26]And a reuelation was geuen hym of the holy ghost, not to see death, before he had seene the Lordes Christe |
[26]And it was said to him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death, until he sees the Anointed of the Lord. |
| [27]And he came by inspiration into the temple: And when the father & mother brought in the chylde Iesus, to do for hym after the custome of the lawe |
[27]This man was led by the Spirit to the temple; and when the parents brought in the boy Jesus, to do for him according to what is commanded in the law, |
| [28]Then toke he hym vp in his armes, & praysed God, and sayde |
[28]He received him in his arms, and blessed God, and said, |
| [29]Lord nowe lettest thou thy seruaut depart in peace, accordyng to thy promise |
[29]Now dismiss thy servant, O my Lord, in peace, according to your word; |
| [30]For mine eyes haue seene thy saluatio |
[30]For behold, mine eyes have already seen your mercies, |
| [31]Whiche thou hast prepared before the face of all people |
[31]Which you have prepared before the face of all peoples, |
| [32]A light to be reuealed to the gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel |
[32]A light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and a glory to your people Israel. |
| [33]And Ioseph and his mother marueyled at those thinges which were spoken of hym |
[33]And Joseph and his mother marvelled about these things which were spoken concerning him. |
| [34]And Simeon blessed them, & saide vnto Marie his mother: beholde, this chylde is set to be the fall & vprysyng agayne of many in Israel, & for a signe which is spoken agaynst |
[34]And Simon blessed them, and he said to Mary, his mother, Behold, this one is appointed for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, and for a sign of dispute; |
| [35]And moreouer, the sworde shall pearce thy soule, that the thoughtes of many heartes may be opened |
[35]And a sword will pierce through your own soul; so that the thoughts of the hearts of many may be revealed. |
| [36]And ther was a prophetisse, one Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser, which was of a great age, and had lyued with an husbande seuen yeres from her virginitie |
[36]And Hannah the prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, was of a great age; and she had lived seven years with her husband from the days of her virginity. |
| [37]And she had ben a wydowe about fourescore and foure yeres, whiche departed not from the temple, but serued God with fastynges and prayers nyght and day |
[37]Then she became a widow for about eighty-four years, and she never left the temple, and with fasting and prayer she worshipped day and night. |
| [38]And she, commyng at the same instant vpon them, confessed lykewise the Lorde, and spake of hym, to all them that loked for redemptio in Hierusalem |
[38]She also stood up at that hour, and gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke concerning him to every man who was looking forward to the salvation of Jerusalem. |
| [39]And when they had perfourmed all thynges, accordyng to the lawe of the Lorde, they returned into Galilee, to their owne citie Nazareth |
[39]And when they had done everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. |
| [40]And the chylde grewe, and waxed strong in spirite, and was fylled with wisdome: & the grace of God was vpon hym |
[40]The boy grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him. |
| [41]Nowe, his parentes went to Hierusale euery yere, at the feast of ye Passouer |
[41]And his people went every year to Jerusalem during the feast of the passover. |
| [42]And when he was twelue yere old, they ascended vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast day |
[42]And when he was twelve years old, they went up to the feast, as they were accustomed. |
| [43]And whe they had fulfilled the dayes, as they returned home, the chylde Iesus abode styll in Hierusalem: & Ioseph and his mother knewe not of it |
[43]And when the feast days were over, they returned; but the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother did not know it. |
| [44]But they, supposyng hym to haue ben in the company, came a dayes iourney, and sought hym among their kinsfolke and acquayntaunce |
[44]They thought that he was with the children of their party; and when they went a day's journey, they sought for him among their own people and those who knew them. |
| [45]And when they founde hym not, they turned backe againe to Hierusalem, and sought hym |
[45]But they could not find him; so they returned again to Jerusalem, looking for him. |
| [46]And it came to passe, that after three dayes, they founde hym in the temple, sittyng in the myddes of the doctours, hearyng them, and posyng them |
[46]After three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions. |
| [47]And all that hearde hym, were astonied at his vnderstanding & aunsweres |
[47]And all those who heard him were amazed at his wisdom and his answers. |
| [48]And when they sawe hym, they were amased. And his mother said vnto him: Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? Beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee, sorowyng |
[48]And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, My son, why have you done so to us? behold, I and your father have been looking for you with much anxiety. |
| [49]And he sayde vnto them: Howe is it that ye sought me? Wyste ye not, that I must go about my fathers businesse |
[49]He said to them, Why were you looking for me? did you not know that I would be in the house of my Father? |
| [50]And they vnderstoode not that saying which he spake vnto them |
[50]But they could not understand the word which he said to them. |
| [51]And he went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, & was obedient vnto them: But his mother kepte all these sayinges in her heart |
[51]So he went down with them and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them. And his mother treasured all these words in her heart. |
| [52]And Iesus increased in wisedome and stature, and in fauour with God & men |
[52]And Jesus grew in his stature and in his wisdom, and in favor with God and men. |
