| [1]ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐξῆλθεν δόγμα παρὰ καίσαρος αὐγούστου ἀπογράφεσθαι πᾶσαν τὴν οἰκουμένην. |
[1]And in those days it occurred, that a decree went forth from Augustus Caesar, that all the people of his dominion should be enrolled. |
| [2]αὕτη ἀπογραφὴ πρώτη ἐγένετο ἡγεμονεύοντος τῆς συρίας κυρηνίου. |
[2]And this enrollment was first made under the presidency of Quirinus in Syria. |
| [3]καὶ ἐπορεύοντο πάντες ἀπογράφεσθαι, ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ πόλιν. |
[3]And everyone went to his own city to be enrolled. |
| [4]ἀνέβη δὲ καὶ ἰωσὴφ ἀπὸ τῆς γαλιλαίας ἐκ πόλεως ναζαρὲθ εἰς τὴν ἰουδαίαν εἰς πόλιν δαυὶδ ἥτις καλεῖται βηθλέεμ, διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐξ οἴκου καὶ πατριᾶς δαυίδ, |
[4]And Joseph also went up from Nazareth of Galilee to Judaea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, |
| [5]ἀπογράψασθαι σὺν μαριὰμ τῇ ἐμνηστευμένῃ αὐτῶ, οὔσῃ ἐγκύῳ. |
[5]with Mary his espoused, then pregnant, to be enrolled. |
| [6]ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῶ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν, |
[6]And it was while they were there, that the days for her to bring forth were completed. |
| [7]καὶ ἔτεκεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν πρωτότοκον· καὶ ἐσπαργάνωσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀνέκλινεν αὐτὸν ἐν φάτνῃ, διότι οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς τόπος ἐν τῶ καταλύματι. |
[7]And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in bandages, and laid him in the stall; for they had no place where they could lodge. |
| [8]καὶ ποιμένες ἦσαν ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ τῇ αὐτῇ ἀγραυλοῦντες καὶ φυλάσσοντες φυλακὰς τῆς νυκτὸς ἐπὶ τὴν ποίμνην αὐτῶν. |
[8]And there were shepherds in that region, who abode there and kept watch of their flocks by night. |
| [9]καὶ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐπέστη αὐτοῖς καὶ δόξα κυρίου περιέλαμψεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον μέγαν. |
[9]And lo, the angel of God came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone upon them: and they feared with great fear. |
| [10]καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ἄγγελος, μὴ φοβεῖσθε, ἰδοὺ γὰρ εὐαγγελίζομαι ὑμῖν χαρὰν μεγάλην ἥτις ἔσται παντὶ τῶ λαῶ, |
[10]And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold I announce to you great joy, which will be to all the world. |
| [11]ὅτι ἐτέχθη ὑμῖν σήμερον σωτὴρ ὅς ἐστιν χριστὸς κύριος ἐν πόλει δαυίδ· |
[11]For there is born to you this day a deliverer, who is the Lord Messiah, in the city of David |
| [12]καὶ τοῦτο ὑμῖν τὸ σημεῖον, εὑρήσετε βρέφος ἐσπαργανωμένον καὶ κείμενον ἐν φάτνῃ. |
[12]And this is the sign for you: Ye will find the babe wrapped in bandages, and placed in a stall. |
| [13]καὶ ἐξαίφνης ἐγένετο σὺν τῶ ἀγγέλῳ πλῆθος στρατιᾶς οὐρανίου αἰνούντων τὸν θεὸν καὶ λεγόντων, |
[13]And instantly there were seen with the angel, the many hosts of heaven, praising God, and saying: |
| [14]δόξα ἐν ὑψίστοις θεῶ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς εἰρήνη ἐν ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκίας. |
[14]Glory to God in the highest [heavens], and on earth peace and good hope for men. |
| [15]καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἀπῆλθον ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν οἱ ἄγγελοι, οἱ ποιμένες ἐλάλουν πρὸς ἀλλήλους, διέλθωμεν δὴ ἕως βηθλέεμ καὶ ἴδωμεν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο τὸ γεγονὸς ὃ ὁ κύριος ἐγνώρισεν ἡμῖν. |
[15]And it was so, that when the angels had gone from them into heaven, the shepherds conferred with one another, and said: Let us go down to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath occurred, as the Lord hath made known to us. |
| [16]καὶ ἦλθαν σπεύσαντες καὶ ἀνεῦραν τήν τε μαριὰμ καὶ τὸν ἰωσὴφ καὶ τὸ βρέφος κείμενον ἐν τῇ φάτνῃ· |
[16]And they came hastily, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe laid in the stall. |
| [17]ἰδόντες δὲ ἐγνώρισαν περὶ τοῦ ῥήματος τοῦ λαληθέντος αὐτοῖς περὶ τοῦ παιδίου τούτου. |
[17]And when they saw, they made known the information which was given to them concerning the child. |
| [18]καὶ πάντες οἱ ἀκούσαντες ἐθαύμασαν περὶ τῶν λαληθέντων ὑπὸ τῶν ποιμένων πρὸς αὐτούς· |
[18]And all that heard, wondered at the things that were told them by the shepherds. |
| [19]ἡ δὲ μαριὰμ πάντα συνετήρει τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα συμβάλλουσα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς. |
[19]And Mary laid up all these things, and pondered them in her heart. |
| [20]καὶ ὑπέστρεψαν οἱ ποιμένες δοξάζοντες καὶ αἰνοῦντες τὸν θεὸν ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οἷς ἤκουσαν καὶ εἶδον καθὼς ἐλαλήθη πρὸς αὐτούς. |
[20]And the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all that they had seen and heard, as it was told them. |
| [21]καὶ ὅτε ἐπλήσθησαν ἡμέραι ὀκτὼ τοῦ περιτεμεῖν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἰησοῦς, τὸ κληθὲν ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγγέλου πρὸ τοῦ συλλημφθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ. |
[21]And when the eight days for the circumcision of the child were completed, his name was called JESUS; as he was named by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb |
| [22]καὶ ὅτε ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸν νόμον μωϊσέως, ἀνήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα παραστῆσαι τῶ κυρίῳ, |
[22]And when the days of their purification were completed, according to the law of Moses, they carried him to Jerusalem, to present him before the Lord: |
| [23]καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν νόμῳ κυρίου ὅτι πᾶν ἄρσεν διανοῖγον μήτραν ἅγιον τῶ κυρίῳ κληθήσεται, |
[23](as it is written in the law of the Lord, that every male opening the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:) |
| [24]καὶ τοῦ δοῦναι θυσίαν κατὰ τὸ εἰρημένον ἐν τῶ νόμῳ κυρίου, ζεῦγος τρυγόνων ἢ δύο νοσσοὺς περιστερῶν. |
[24]and to offer a sacrifice, according as it is written in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons. |
| [25]καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος ἦν ἐν ἰερουσαλὴμ ᾧ ὄνομα συμεών, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὖτος δίκαιος καὶ εὐλαβής, προσδεχόμενος παράκλησιν τοῦ ἰσραήλ, καὶ πνεῦμα ἦν ἅγιον ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν· |
[25]And there was a certain man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon. This man was upright and just, and was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. |
| [26]καὶ ἦν αὐτῶ κεχρηματισμένον ὑπὸ τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου μὴ ἰδεῖν θάνατον πρὶν [ἢ] ἂν ἴδῃ τὸν χριστὸν κυρίου. |
[26]And it had been told him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death, until he should see the Messiah of the Lord. |
| [27]καὶ ἦλθεν ἐν τῶ πνεύματι εἰς τὸ ἱερόν· καὶ ἐν τῶ εἰσαγαγεῖν τοὺς γονεῖς τὸ παιδίον ἰησοῦν τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὸ εἰθισμένον τοῦ νόμου περὶ αὐτοῦ |
[27]This man came, by the Spirit, into the temple; and when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him as is commanded in the law, |
| [28]καὶ αὐτὸς ἐδέξατο αὐτὸ εἰς τὰς ἀγκάλας καὶ εὐλόγησεν τὸν θεὸν καὶ εἶπεν, |
[28]he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said: |
| [29]νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, δέσποτα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ· |
[29]My Lord, now release thou thy servant in peace, as thou hast said: |
| [30]ὅτι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τὸ σωτήριόν σου |
[30]for lo, my eyes have seen thy mercy, |
| [31]ὃ ἡτοίμασας κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν, |
[31]which thou hast prepared in the presence of all nations, |
| [32]φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου ἰσραήλ. |
[32]a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and a glory for thy people Israel. |
| [33]καὶ ἦν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ θαυμάζοντες ἐπὶ τοῖς λαλουμένοις περὶ αὐτοῦ. |
[33]And Joseph and his mother were astonished at those things which were spoken concerning him. |
| [34]καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς συμεὼν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς μαριὰμ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, ἰδοὺ οὖτος κεῖται εἰς πτῶσιν καὶ ἀνάστασιν πολλῶν ἐν τῶ ἰσραὴλ καὶ εἰς σημεῖον ἀντιλεγόμενον |
[34]And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold, this [child] is set forth for the fall and for the rising of many in Israel, and for a standard of contention; |
| [35]καὶ σοῦ [δὲ] αὐτῆς τὴν ψυχὴν διελεύσεται ῥομφαία, ὅπως ἂν ἀποκαλυφθῶσιν ἐκ πολλῶν καρδιῶν διαλογισμοί. |
[35](and also a dart will pierce thy own soul); that the thoughts of the hearts of many may be disclosed. |
| [36]καὶ ἦν ἅννα προφῆτις, θυγάτηρ φανουήλ, ἐκ φυλῆς ἀσήρ· αὕτη προβεβηκυῖα ἐν ἡμέραις πολλαῖς, ζήσασα μετὰ ἀνδρὸς ἔτη ἑπτὰ ἀπὸ τῆς παρθενίας αὐτῆς, |
[36]And Hanna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she also was aged in days, and, from her maidenhood, had lived seven years with her husband, |
| [37]καὶ αὐτὴ χήρα ἕως ἐτῶν ὀγδοήκοντα τεσσάρων, ἣ οὐκ ἀφίστατο τοῦ ἱεροῦ νηστείαις καὶ δεήσεσιν λατρεύουσα νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν. |
[37]and was a widow of about eighty and four years, and departed not from the temple, but worshipped by day and by night with fasting and prayer ; |
| [38]καὶ αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐπιστᾶσα ἀνθωμολογεῖτο τῶ θεῶ καὶ ἐλάλει περὶ αὐτοῦ πᾶσιν τοῖς προσδεχομένοις λύτρωσιν ἰερουσαλήμ. |
[38]and she too stood up, in that hour, and gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to every one that waited for the redemption of Jerusalem. |
| [39]καὶ ὡς ἐτέλεσαν πάντα τὰ κατὰ τὸν νόμον κυρίου, ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν εἰς πόλιν ἑαυτῶν ναζαρέθ. |
[39]And when they had accomplished all things, according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city Nazareth. |
| [40]τὸ δὲ παιδίον ηὔξανεν καὶ ἐκραταιοῦτο πληρούμενον σοφίᾳ, καὶ χάρις θεοῦ ἦν ἐπ᾽ αὐτό. |
[40]And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and was filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him. |
| [41]καὶ ἐπορεύοντο οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ κατ᾽ ἔτος εἰς ἰερουσαλὴμ τῇ ἑορτῇ τοῦ πάσχα. |
[41]And his people went up to Jerusalem every year, at the feast of the passover. |
| [42]καὶ ὅτε ἐγένετο ἐτῶν δώδεκα, ἀναβαινόντων αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τῆς ἑορτῆς |
[42]And when he was twelve years old, they went up to the feast, as they were accustomed. |
| [43]καὶ τελειωσάντων τὰς ἡμέρας, ἐν τῶ ὑποστρέφειν αὐτοὺς ὑπέμεινεν ἰησοῦς ὁ παῖς ἐν ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ. |
[43]And when the days were completed, they returned: but the child Jesus remained at Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother knew not [of it]; |
| [44]νομίσαντες δὲ αὐτὸν εἶναι ἐν τῇ συνοδίᾳ ἦλθον ἡμέρας ὁδὸν καὶ ἀνεζήτουν αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς συγγενεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς γνωστοῖς, |
[44]for they supposed he was with his companions. And when they had travelled a day's journey, they sought him among their people, and [inquired] of every one that knew them. |
| [45]καὶ μὴ εὑρόντες ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς ἰερουσαλὴμ ἀναζητοῦντες αὐτόν. |
[45]And they did not find him. And they returned again to Jerusalem, searching for him. |
| [46]καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ἡμέρας τρεῖς εὖρον αὐτὸν ἐν τῶ ἱερῶ καθεζόμενον ἐν μέσῳ τῶν διδασκάλων καὶ ἀκούοντα αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπερωτῶντα αὐτούς· |
[46]And after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, and listening to them, and asking them questions. |
| [47]ἐξίσταντο δὲ πάντες οἱ ἀκούοντες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῇ συνέσει καὶ ταῖς ἀποκρίσεσιν αὐτοῦ. |
[47]And all they that heard him, were astonished at his wisdom and his answers. |
| [48]καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐξεπλάγησαν, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ, τέκνον, τί ἐποίησας ἡμῖν οὕτως; ἰδοὺ ὁ πατήρ σου κἀγὼ ὀδυνώμενοι ἐζητοῦμέν σε. |
[48]And when they saw him they were amazed. And his mother said to him: My son, why hast thou done so to us? For lo, I and thy father have been seeking for thee with great anxiety. |
| [49]καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, τί ὅτι ἐζητεῖτέ με; οὐκ ᾔδειτε ὅτι ἐν τοῖς τοῦ πατρός μου δεῖ εἶναί με; |
[49]He said to them: Why did ye seek me? Do ye not know, that it behooveth me to be in my Father's house? |
| [50]καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐ συνῆκαν τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς. |
[50]But they did not comprehend the word that he spoke to them. |
| [51]καὶ κατέβη μετ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς ναζαρέθ, καὶ ἦν ὑποτασσόμενος αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ διετήρει πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς. |
[51]And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. And his mother laid up all these things in her heart. |
| [52]καὶ ἰησοῦς προέκοπτεν [ἐν τῇ] σοφίᾳ καὶ ἡλικίᾳ καὶ χάριτι παρὰ θεῶ καὶ ἀνθρώποις. |
[52]And Jesus increased in stature, and in wisdom, and in grace, before God and men. |
