Luke 2
1 And it came to passe in those dayes, that there came a decree from Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed.
εγενετο δε εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις εξηλθεν δογμα παρα καισαρος αυγουστου απογραφεσθαι πασαν την οικουμενην
2 (This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was gouernour of Syria.)
αυτη απογραφη πρωτη εγενετο ηγεμονευοντος της συριας κυρηνιου
3 Therefore went all to be taxed, euery man to his owne Citie.
και επορευοντο παντες απογραφεσθαι εκαστος εις την εαυτου πολιν
4 And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid, )
ανεβη δε και ιωσηφ απο της γαλιλαιας εκ πολεως ναζαρεθ εις την ιουδαιαν εις πολιν δαυιδ ητις καλειται βηθλεεμ δια το ειναι αυτον εξ οικου και πατριας δαυιδ
5 To bee taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife, which was with childe.
απογραψασθαι συν μαριαμ τη εμνηστευμενη αυτω ουση εγκυω
6 And so it was, that while they were there, the daies were accomplished that shee shoulde be deliuered,
εγενετο δε εν τω ειναι αυτους εκει επλησθησαν αι ημεραι του τεκειν αυτην
7 And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne.
και ετεκεν τον υιον αυτης τον πρωτοτοκον και εσπαργανωσεν αυτον και ανεκλινεν αυτον εν φατνη διοτι ουκ ην αυτοις τοπος εν τω καταλυματι
8 And there were in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke.
και ποιμενες ησαν εν τη χωρα τη αυτη αγραυλουντες και φυλασσοντες φυλακας της νυκτος επι την ποιμνην αυτων
9 And loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide.
και αγγελος κυριου επεστη αυτοις και δοξα κυριου περιελαμψεν αυτους και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν
10 Then the Angel saide vnto them, Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to all the people,
και ειπεν αυτοις ο αγγελος μη φοβεισθε ιδου γαρ ευαγγελιζομαι υμιν χαραν μεγαλην ητις εσται παντι τω λαω
11 That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord.
οτι ετεχθη υμιν σημερον σωτηρ ος εστιν χριστος κυριος εν πολει δαυιδ
12 And this shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch.
και τουτο υμιν {VAR2: το } σημειον ευρησετε βρεφος εσπαργανωμενον και κειμενον εν φατνη
13 And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praising God, and saying,
και εξαιφνης εγενετο συν τω αγγελω πληθος στρατιας ουρανιου αινουντων τον θεον και λεγοντων
14 Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will.
δοξα εν υψιστοις θεω και επι γης ειρηνη εν ανθρωποις ευδοκιας
15 And it came to passe whe the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, that the shepheards sayde one to another, Let vs goe then vnto Beth-leem, and see this thing that is come to passe which the Lord hath shewed vnto vs.
και εγενετο ως απηλθον απ αυτων εις τον ουρανον οι αγγελοι οι ποιμενες ελαλουν προς αλληλους διελθωμεν δη εως βηθλεεμ και ιδωμεν το ρημα τουτο το γεγονος ο ο κυριος εγνωρισεν ημιν
16 So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.
και ηλθαν σπευσαντες και ανευραν την τε μαριαμ και τον ιωσηφ και το βρεφος κειμενον εν τη φατνη
17 And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe.
ιδοντες δε εγνωρισαν περι του ρηματος του λαληθεντος αυτοις περι του παιδιου τουτου
18 And all that heard it, wondred at ye things which were tolde them of the shepheards.
και παντες οι ακουσαντες εθαυμασαν περι των λαληθεντων υπο των ποιμενων προς αυτους
19 But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred them in her heart.
η δε {VAR1: μαρια } {VAR2: μαριαμ } παντα συνετηρει τα ρηματα ταυτα συμβαλλουσα εν τη καρδια αυτης
20 And the shepheardes returned glorifiyng and praising God, for all that they had heard and seene as it was spoken vnto them.
και υπεστρεψαν οι ποιμενες δοξαζοντες και αινουντες τον θεον επι πασιν οις ηκουσαν και ειδον καθως ελαληθη προς αυτους
21 And when the eight daies were accomplished, that they shoulde circumcise the childe, his name was then called Iesus, which was named of the Angell, before he was conceiued in the wombe.
και οτε επλησθησαν ημεραι οκτω του περιτεμειν αυτον και εκληθη το ονομα αυτου ιησους το κληθεν υπο του αγγελου προ του συλλημφθηναι αυτον εν τη κοιλια
22 And when the daies of her purification after the Lawe of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lord,
και οτε επλησθησαν αι ημεραι του καθαρισμου αυτων κατα τον νομον μωυσεως ανηγαγον αυτον εις ιεροσολυμα παραστησαι τω κυριω
23 (As it is written in the Lawe of the Lord, Euery man childe that first openeth ye wombe, shalbe called holy to the Lord)
καθως γεγραπται εν νομω κυριου οτι παν αρσεν διανοιγον μητραν αγιον τω κυριω κληθησεται
24 And to giue an oblation, as it is commanded in the Lawe of the Lord, a paire of turtle doues, or two yong pigeons.
και του δουναι θυσιαν κατα το ειρημενον εν τω νομω κυριου ζευγος τρυγονων η δυο νοσσους περιστερων
25 And behold, there was a man in Hierusalem, whose name was Simeon: this man was iust, and feared God, and waited for the consolation of Israel, and the holy Ghost was vpon him.
και ιδου ανθρωπος ην εν ιερουσαλημ ω ονομα συμεων και ο ανθρωπος ουτος δικαιος και ευλαβης προσδεχομενος παρακλησιν του ισραηλ και πνευμα ην αγιον επ αυτον
26 And it was declared to him from God by the holy Ghost, that he shoulde not see death, before he had seene that Anointed of the Lord.
και ην αυτω κεχρηματισμενον υπο του πνευματος του αγιου μη ιδειν θανατον πριν [η] αν ιδη τον χριστον κυριου
27 And he came by the motion of the spirit into the Temple, and when the parents brought in the babe Iesus, to do for him after the custome of the Lawe,
και ηλθεν εν τω πνευματι εις το ιερον και εν τω εισαγαγειν τους γονεις το παιδιον ιησουν του ποιησαι αυτους κατα το ειθισμενον του νομου περι αυτου
28 Then hee tooke him in his armes, and praised God, and sayd,
και αυτος εδεξατο αυτο εις τας αγκαλας και ευλογησεν τον θεον και ειπεν
29 Lord, nowe lettest thou thy seruaunt depart in peace, according to thy woorde,
νυν απολυεις τον δουλον σου δεσποτα κατα το ρημα σου εν ειρηνη
30 For mine eyes haue seene thy saluation,
οτι ειδον οι οφθαλμοι μου το σωτηριον σου
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,
ο ητοιμασας κατα προσωπον παντων των λαων
32 A light to be reueiled to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
φως εις αποκαλυψιν εθνων και δοξαν λαου σου ισραηλ
33 And Ioseph and his mother marueiled at those things, which were spoken touching him.
και ην ο πατηρ αυτου και η μητηρ θαυμαζοντες επι τοις λαλουμενοις περι αυτου
34 And Simeon blessed them, and saide vnto Mary his mother, Beholde, this childe is appointed for the fall and rising againe of many in Israel, and for a signe which shalbe spoken against,
και ευλογησεν αυτους συμεων και ειπεν προς μαριαμ την μητερα αυτου ιδου ουτος κειται εις πτωσιν και αναστασιν πολλων εν τω ισραηλ και εις σημειον αντιλεγομενον
35 (Yea and a sworde shall pearce through thy soule) that the thoughts of many heartes may be opened.
και σου {VAR2: [δε] } αυτης την ψυχην διελευσεται ρομφαια οπως αν αποκαλυφθωσιν εκ πολλων καρδιων διαλογισμοι
36 And there was a Prophetesse, one Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser, which was of a great age, after she had liued with an husband seuen yeeres from her virginitie:
και ην αννα προφητις θυγατηρ φανουηλ εκ φυλης ασηρ αυτη προβεβηκυια εν ημεραις πολλαις ζησασα μετα ανδρος ετη επτα απο της παρθενιας αυτης
37 And she was widowe about foure score and foure yeeres, and went not out of the Temple, but serued God with fastings and prayers, night and day.
και αυτη χηρα εως ετων ογδοηκοντα τεσσαρων η ουκ αφιστατο του ιερου νηστειαις και δεησεσιν λατρευουσα νυκτα και ημεραν
38 She then coming at the same instant vpon them, confessed likewise the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Hierusalem.
και αυτη τη ωρα επιστασα ανθωμολογειτο τω θεω και ελαλει περι αυτου πασιν τοις προσδεχομενοις λυτρωσιν ιερουσαλημ
39 And when they had performed all thinges according to the lawe of the Lord, they returned into Galile to their owne citie Nazareth.
και ως ετελεσαν παντα τα κατα τον νομον κυριου επεστρεψαν εις την γαλιλαιαν εις πολιν εαυτων ναζαρεθ
40 And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in Spirit, and was filled with wisedome, and the grace of God was with him.
το δε παιδιον ηυξανεν και εκραταιουτο πληρουμενον σοφια και χαρις θεου ην επ αυτο
41 Nowe his parents went to Hierusalem euery yeere, at the feast of the Passeouer.
και επορευοντο οι γονεις αυτου κατ ετος εις ιερουσαλημ τη εορτη του πασχα
42 And when hee was twelue yeere olde, and they were come vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast,
και οτε εγενετο ετων δωδεκα αναβαινοντων αυτων κατα το εθος της εορτης
43 And had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother,
και τελειωσαντων τας ημερας εν τω υποστρεφειν αυτους υπεμεινεν ιησους ο παις εν ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εγνωσαν οι γονεις αυτου
44 But they supposing, that he had bene in the company, went a dayes iourney, and sought him among their kinsfolke, and acquaintance.
νομισαντες δε αυτον ειναι εν τη συνοδια ηλθον ημερας οδον και ανεζητουν αυτον εν τοις συγγενευσιν και τοις γνωστοις
45 And when they found him not, they turned backe to Hierusalem, and sought him.
και μη ευροντες υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ αναζητουντες αυτον
46 And it came to passe three dayes after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the mids of the doctours, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
και εγενετο μετα ημερας τρεις ευρον αυτον εν τω ιερω καθεζομενον εν μεσω των διδασκαλων και ακουοντα αυτων και επερωτωντα αυτους
47 And all that heard him, were astonied at his vnderstanding and answeres.
εξισταντο δε παντες οι ακουοντες αυτου επι τη συνεσει και ταις αποκρισεσιν αυτου
48 So when they sawe him, 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 with very heauie hearts.
και ιδοντες αυτον εξεπλαγησαν και ειπεν προς αυτον η μητηρ αυτου τεκνον τι εποιησας ημιν ουτως ιδου ο πατηρ σου {VAR1: και εγω οδυνωμενοι ζητουμεν } {VAR2: καγω οδυνωμενοι εζητουμεν } σε
49 Then said he vnto them, Howe is it that ye sought me? knewe ye not that I must goe about my Fathers busines?
και ειπεν προς αυτους τι οτι εζητειτε με ουκ ηδειτε οτι εν τοις του πατρος μου δει ειναι με
50 But they vnderstoode not the word that he spake to them.
και αυτοι ου συνηκαν το ρημα ο ελαλησεν αυτοις
51 Then hee went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
και κατεβη μετ αυτων και ηλθεν εις ναζαρεθ και ην υποτασσομενος αυτοις και η μητηρ αυτου διετηρει παντα τα ρηματα εν τη καρδια αυτης
52 And Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.
και ιησους προεκοπτεν {VAR1: τη } {VAR2: [εν τη] } σοφια και ηλικια και χαριτι παρα θεω και ανθρωποις
