< Luke 2 >

1 It came to pass then in the days those went out a decree from Caesar Augustus to register all the world.

και επορευοντο παντες απογραφεσθαι εκαστος εις την ιδιαν πολιν
4 Went up then also Joseph from Galilee out of [the] town of Nazareth to Judea to [the] City of David which is called Bethlehem, because of being him from [the] house and family of David,
ανεβη δε και ιωσηφ απο της γαλιλαιας εκ πολεως ναζαρεθ εις την ιουδαιαν εις πολιν δαβιδ ητις καλειται βηθλεεμ δια το ειναι αυτον εξ οικου και πατριας δαβιδ

απογραψασθαι συν μαριαμ τη μεμνηστευμενη αυτω γυναικι ουση εγκυω
6 It came to pass then in their being them there were fulfilled the days of the giving birth of her,
εγενετο δε εν τω ειναι αυτους εκει επλησθησαν αι ημεραι του τεκειν αυτην
7 And she brought forth the son of her the firstborn and wrapped in swaddling cloths him and she laid Him in a manger, because not there was for them a place in the inn.
και ετεκεν τον υιον αυτης τον πρωτοτοκον και εσπαργανωσεν αυτον και ανεκλινεν αυτον εν τη φατνη διοτι ουκ ην αυτοις τοπος εν τω καταλυματι
8 And shepherds were in the region same lodging in the fields and keeping watch by night over the flock of them.
και ποιμενες ησαν εν τη χωρα τη αυτη αγραυλουντες και φυλασσοντες φυλακας της νυκτος επι την ποιμνην αυτων
9 And (behold *KO) an angel of [the] Lord stood by them, and [the] glory of [the] Lord shone around them, and they feared [with] fear great.
και ιδου αγγελος κυριου επεστη αυτοις και δοξα κυριου περιελαμψεν αυτους και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν
10 And said to them the angel; Not do fear; behold for I bring good news to you [of] joy great which will be to all the people
και ειπεν αυτοις ο αγγελος μη φοβεισθε ιδου γαρ ευαγγελιζομαι υμιν χαραν μεγαλην ητις εσται παντι τω λαω
11 For has been born to you today a Savior who is Christ [the] Lord in [the] City of David.
οτι ετεχθη υμιν σημερον σωτηρ ος εστιν χριστος κυριος εν πολει δαβιδ
12 And this [is] to you the sign: You will find a baby swaddled (and *no) lying in a manger.
και τουτο υμιν το σημειον ευρησετε βρεφος εσπαργανωμενον κειμενον εν τη φατνη
13 And suddenly there came with the angel a multitude of [the] host (heavenly *NK+o) praising God and saying:
και εξαιφνης εγενετο συν τω αγγελω πληθος στρατιας ουρανιου αινουντων τον θεον και λεγοντων
14 Glory in [the] highest to God, and on earth peace among men (of good-will. *N+kO)
δοξα εν υψιστοις θεω και επι γης ειρηνη εν ανθρωποις ευδοκια
15 And it came to pass as they were departing from them into the heaven the angels, (and *ko) the (men *ko) shepherds (were speaking *N+kO) to one another; Let us go through indeed until Bethlehem and let us see declaration this that having happened which the Lord has made known to us.
και εγενετο ως απηλθον απ αυτων εις τον ουρανον οι αγγελοι και οι ανθρωποι οι ποιμενες ειπον προς αλληλους διελθωμεν δη εως βηθλεεμ και ιδωμεν το ρημα τουτο το γεγονος ο ο κυριος εγνωρισεν ημιν
16 And they came having hurried and they found both Mary and Joseph and the baby lying in the manger.
και ηλθον σπευσαντες και ανευρον την τε μαριαμ και τον ιωσηφ και το βρεφος κειμενον εν τη φατνη

ιδοντες δε διεγνωρισαν περι του ρηματος του λαληθεντος αυτοις περι του παιδιου τουτου
18 And all those having heard they marveled concerning the [things] having been spoken by the shepherds to them.
και παντες οι ακουσαντες εθαυμασαν περι των λαληθεντων υπο των ποιμενων προς αυτους
19 But Mary all was treasuring up declarations these pondering [them] in the heart of her.
η δε μαριαμ παντα συνετηρει τα ρηματα ταυτα συμβαλλουσα εν τη καρδια αυτης
20 And (returned *N+kO) the shepherds glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen even as it was said to them.
και επεστρεψαν οι ποιμενες δοξαζοντες και αινουντες τον θεον επι πασιν οις ηκουσαν και ειδον καθως ελαληθη προς αυτους
21 And when were fulfilled days eight to circumcise (Him *no) (the child *K) then was called the name of Him Jesus, which He had been called by the angel before conceiving He in the womb.
και οτε επλησθησαν ημεραι οκτω του περιτεμειν το παιδιον και εκληθη το ονομα αυτου ιησους το κληθεν υπο του αγγελου προ του συλληφθηναι αυτον εν τη κοιλια
22 And when were fulfilled the days of the purification of them according to the law of Moses, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present to the Lord
και οτε επλησθησαν αι ημεραι του καθαρισμου αυτης κατα τον νομον μωσεως ανηγαγον αυτον εις ιεροσολυμα παραστησαι τω κυριω
23 even as it has been written in [the] law of [the] Lord that Every male opening a womb holy to the Lord will be called;
καθως γεγραπται εν νομω κυριου οτι παν αρσεν διανοιγον μητραν αγιον τω κυριω κληθησεται
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that said in (the *no) law of [the] Lord; A pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons.
και του δουναι θυσιαν κατα το ειρημενον εν νομω κυριου ζευγος τρυγονων η δυο νεοσσους περιστερων
25 And behold a man there was in Jerusalem whose name [was] Simeon and man this [was] righteous and devout waiting for [the] consolation of Israel; and [the] Spirit was Holy upon him.
και ιδου ην ανθρωπος εν ιερουσαλημ ω ονομα σιμεων και ο ανθρωπος ουτος δικαιος και ευλαβης προσδεχομενος παρακλησιν του ισραηλ και πνευμα αγιον ην επ αυτον
26 And it was to him revealed by the Spirit Holy not to see death before than (when *no) he may see the Christ of [the] Lord
και ην αυτω κεχρηματισμενον υπο του πνευματος του αγιου μη ιδειν θανατον πριν η ιδη τον χριστον κυριου
27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and in the [time when] bringing in the parents the child Jesus for the [thing] [were] doing they according to that accustomed by the law for Him,
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 he himself received Him into the arms (of him *ko) and blessed God and said:
και αυτος εδεξατο αυτο εις τας αγκαλας αυτου και ευλογησεν τον θεον και ειπεν
29 Now You dismiss the servant of You, Lord, according to the declaration of You in peace
νυν απολυεις τον δουλον σου δεσποτα κατα το ρημα σου εν ειρηνη
30 for have seen the eyes of mine the salvation of You
οτι ειδον οι οφθαλμοι μου το σωτηριον σου
31 which You have prepared before [the] face of all the peoples,
ο ητοιμασας κατα προσωπον παντων των λαων
32 a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and glory of [the] people of You of Israel.
φως εις αποκαλυψιν εθνων και δοξαν λαου σου ισραηλ
33 And were (the *no) (father *N+KO) of Him and the mother marveling at the [things] being spoken concerning Him.
και ην ιωσηφ και η μητηρ αυτου θαυμαζοντες επι τοις λαλουμενοις περι αυτου
34 And blessed them Simeon and said to Mary the mother of Him: Behold this [Child] is appointed for [the] falling and rising up of many in Israel and for a sign spoken against.
και ευλογησεν αυτους σιμεων και ειπεν προς μαριαμ την μητερα αυτου ιδου ουτος κειται εις πτωσιν και αναστασιν πολλων εν τω ισραηλ και εις σημειον αντιλεγομενον
35 and of you also of her the soul will go through a sword — so that maybe may be revealed of many hearts [the] thoughts.
και σου δε αυτης την ψυχην διελευσεται ρομφαια οπως αν αποκαλυφθωσιν εκ πολλων καρδιων διαλογισμοι
36 And there was Anna a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of [the] tribe of Asher; she having advanced in years great, having lived with a husband years seven from the marriage of herself;
και ην αννα προφητις θυγατηρ φανουηλ εκ φυλης ασηρ αυτη προβεβηκυια εν ημεραις πολλαις ζησασα ετη μετα ανδρος επτα απο της παρθενιας αυτης
37 and she [was] a widow (until *N+kO) years eighty [and] four who not was departing (from *k) the temple with fastings and prayers serving night and day;
και αυτη χηρα ως ετων ογδοηκοντατεσσαρων η ουκ αφιστατο απο του ιερου νηστειαις και δεησεσιν λατρευουσα νυκτα και ημεραν
38 And (this *k) she at that hour having come up she was giving praise (to God *N+KO) and was speaking concerning Him to all those waiting for [the] redemption (in *k) of Jerusalem.
και αυτη αυτη τη ωρα επιστασα ανθωμολογειτο τω κυριω και ελαλει περι αυτου πασιν τοις προσδεχομενοις λυτρωσιν εν ιερουσαλημ
39 And when they had performed (everything *N+kO) according to the law of [the] Lord, (they returned *N+kO) to Galilee to (the *k) town (of themselves *N+kO) Nazareth.
και ως ετελεσαν απαντα τα κατα τον νομον κυριου υπεστρεψαν εις την γαλιλαιαν εις την πολιν αυτων ναζαρεθ
40 And the Child was continuing to grow and He was being strengthened (in spirit *K) being filled (with wisdom, *N+kO) and [the] grace of God was upon Him.
το δε παιδιον ηυξανεν και εκραταιουτο πνευματι πληρουμενον σοφιας και χαρις θεου ην επ αυτο

και επορευοντο οι γονεις αυτου κατ ετος εις ιερουσαλημ τη εορτη του πασχα
42 And when He was years [old] twelve (when were going up *N+kO) they (into Jerusalem *KO) according to the custom of the Feast

43 and when having completed the days in the returning of them remained behind Jesus the boy in Jerusalem, But not (knew *N+kO) (the parents *NO) (Joseph and the mother *K) of Him.
και τελειωσαντων τας ημερας εν τω υποστρεφειν αυτους υπεμεινεν ιησους ο παις εν ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εγνω ιωσηφ και η μητηρ αυτου
44 Having supposed now Him to be in their company they went a day’s journey and were seeking Him among the relatives and (in *k) the acquaintances.
νομισαντες δε αυτον εν τη συνοδια ειναι ηλθον ημερας οδον και ανεζητουν αυτον εν τοις συγγενεσιν και εν τοις γνωστοις
45 and not having found (Him *k) they returned to Jerusalem (searching *N+kO) Him.
και μη ευροντες αυτον υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ ζητουντες αυτον
46 And it came to pass after days three they found Him in the temple sitting in [the] midst of the teachers both hearing them and questioning them.
και εγενετο μεθ ημερας τρεις ευρον αυτον εν τω ιερω καθεζομενον εν μεσω των διδασκαλων και ακουοντα αυτων και επερωτωντα αυτους
47 Were amazed then all those hearing Him at the understanding and at the answers of Him.
εξισταντο δε παντες οι ακουοντες αυτου επι τη συνεσει και ταις αποκρισεσιν αυτου
48 And having seen Him they were astonished, and said to Him the mother of Him: Child why You did to us thus? Behold the father of You and I myself and I myself distressing (were seeking *NK+o) You.
και ιδοντες αυτον εξεπλαγησαν και προς αυτον η μητηρ αυτου ειπεν τεκνον τι εποιησας ημιν ουτως ιδου ο πατηρ σου καγω οδυνωμενοι εζητουμεν σε
49 And He said to them; Why [is it] for you were seeking Me? Surely you knew that in the [house] of the Father of Mine it behooves to be Me?
και ειπεν προς αυτους τι οτι εζητειτε με ουκ ηδειτε οτι εν τοις του πατρος μου δει ειναι με
50 And they themselves not understood the declaration that He spoke to them.
και αυτοι ου συνηκαν το ρημα ο ελαλησεν αυτοις
51 And He went down with them and He came to Nazareth and He was subject to them. And the mother of Him was treasuring up all declaration (these *ko) in the heart of her.
και κατεβη μετ αυτων και ηλθεν εις ναζαρεθ και ην υποτασσομενος αυτοις και η μητηρ αυτου διετηρει παντα τα ρηματα ταυτα εν τη καρδια αυτης
52 And Jesus was continuing to advance (in *n) wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men.
και ιησους προεκοπτεν σοφια και ηλικια και χαριτι παρα θεω και ανθρωποις
