Luke 2
1 Now it came to pass in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus to enroll all the world.
εγενετο δε εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ εξηλθεν δογμα παρα καισαροσ αυγουστου απογραφεσθαι πασαν την οικουμενην
2 This enrollment first occurred when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
αυτη η απογραφη πρωτη εγενετο ηγεμονευοντοσ τησ συριασ κυρηνιου
3 And all went to be enrolled, each into his personal city.
και επορευοντο παντεσ απογραφεσθαι εκαστοσ εισ την ιδιαν πολιν
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and patriarchy of David,
ανεβη δε και ιωσηφ απο τησ γαλιλαιασ εκ πολεωσ ναζαρετ εισ την ιουδαιαν εισ πολιν δαυιδ ητισ καλειται βηθλεεμ δια το ειναι αυτον εξ οικου και πατριασ δαυιδ
5 to enroll himself with Mary, the woman who was betrothed to him, being pregnant.
απογραψασθαι συν μαριαμ τη μεμνηστευμενη αυτω γυναικι ουση εγκυω
6 And it came to pass while they were there, the days were fulfilled for her to bring forth.
εγενετο δε εν τω ειναι αυτουσ εκει επλησθησαν αι ημεραι του τεκειν αυτην
7 And she brought forth her son, the firstborn, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in the feed trough, because there was no place for them 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 there were shepherds in the same region living in the fields, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
και ποιμενεσ ησαν εν τη χωρα τη αυτη αγραυλουντεσ και φυλασσοντεσ φυλακασ τησ νυκτοσ επι την ποιμνην αυτων
9 And behold, an agent of the Lord stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. And they feared a great fear.
και ιδου αγγελοσ κυριου επεστη αυτοισ και δοξα κυριου περιελαμψεν αυτουσ και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν
10 And the agent said to them, Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that 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 because to you was born today in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ Lord.
οτι ετεχθη υμιν σημερον σωτηρ οσ εστιν χριστοσ κυριοσ εν πολει δαυιδ
12 And this is the sign to you: Ye will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a feed trough.
και τουτο υμιν το σημειον ευρησετε βρεφοσ εσπαργανωμενον κειμενον εν φατνη
13 And suddenly there came to be with the agent a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
και εξαιφνησ εγενετο συν τω αγγελω πληθοσ στρατιασ ουρανιου αινουντων τον θεον και λεγοντων
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill among men.
δοξα εν υψιστοισ θεω και επι γησ ειρηνη εν ανθρωποισ ευδοκια
15 And it came to pass, as the agents went away from them into heaven, that the men (the shepherds) said to each other, Let us indeed go through as far as Bethlehem, and see this declaration that has come to pass, which the Lord 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 having hastened, they came and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the feed trough.
και ηλθον σπευσαντεσ και ανευρον την τε μαριαμ και τον ιωσηφ και το βρεφοσ κειμενον εν τη φατνη
17 And when they saw it, they informed about the declaration that was told them about this child.
ιδοντεσ δε διεγνωρισαν περι του ρηματοσ του λαληθεντοσ αυτοισ περι του παιδιου τουτου
18 And all who heard it wondered about the things that were spoken to them by the shepherds.
και παντεσ οι ακουσαντεσ εθαυμασαν περι των λαληθεντων υπο των ποιμενων προσ αυτουσ
19 But Mary kept all these proclamations, pondering in her heart.
η δε μαριαμ παντα συνετηρει τα ρηματα ταυτα συμβαλλουσα εν τη καρδια αυτησ
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they heard and saw, as it was told to them.
και υπεστρεψαν οι ποιμενεσ δοξαζοντεσ και αινουντεσ τον θεον επι πασιν οισ ηκουσαν και ειδον καθωσ ελαληθη προσ αυτουσ
21 And when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise him, that his name was called JESUS, the one called by the agent before he was conceived in the belly.
και οτε επλησθησαν ημεραι οκτω του περιτεμειν αυτον και εκληθη το ονομα αυτου ιησουσ το κληθεν υπο του αγγελου προ του συλληφθηναι αυτον εν τη κοιλια
22 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord,
και οτε επλησθησαν αι ημεραι του καθαρισμου αυτων κατα τον νομον μωσεωσ ανηγαγον αυτον εισ ιεροσολυμα παραστησαι τω κυριω
23 (just as it is written in a law of the Lord that every male that opens a womb will be called holy to the Lord),
καθωσ γεγραπται εν νομω κυριου οτι παν αρσεν διανοιγον μητραν αγιον τω κυριω κληθησεται
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in a law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
και του δουναι θυσιαν κατα το ειρημενον εν νομω κυριου ζευγοσ τρυγονων η δυο νεοσσουσ περιστερων
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. And this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the encouragement of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
και ιδου ην ανθρωποσ 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 divinely revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death before he would 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 by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus, for them to do according to the custom of the law about 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 he also received it into his arms, and praised God, and said,
και αυτοσ εδεξατο αυτο εισ τασ αγκαλασ αυτου και ευλογησεν τον θεον και ειπεν
29 Now dismiss thy bondman in peace, Master, according to thy word,
νυν απολυεισ τον δουλον σου δεσποτα κατα το ρημα σου εν ειρηνη
30 because my eyes have seen thy salvation,
οτι ειδον οι οφθαλμοι μου το σωτηριον σου
31 which thou prepared toward the face of all the peoples:
ο ητοιμασασ κατα προσωπον παντων των λαων
32 a light for enlightenment of Gentiles, and glory of thy people Israel.
φωσ εισ αποκαλυψιν εθνων και δοξαν λαου σου ισραηλ
33 And Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things being spoken about him.
και ην ιωσηφ και η μητηρ αυτου θαυμαζοντεσ επι τοισ λαλουμενοισ περι αυτου
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this man is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign being repudiated
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 (and also of thee, a sword will pierce through thine own soul), so that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.
και σου δε αυτησ την ψυχην διελευσεται ρομφαια οπωσ αν αποκαλυφθωσιν εκ πολλων καρδιων διαλογισμοι
36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (being advanced in many days, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
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 this woman was a widow to eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, serving with fastings and supplications night and day.
και αυτη χηρα ωσ ετων ογδοηκοντα τεσσαρων η ουκ αφιστατο απο του ιερου νηστειαισ και δεησεσιν λατρευουσα νυκτα και ημεραν
38 And having stood near at that same hour, she acknowledged the Lord, and spoke about him to all those who were awaiting redemption in Jerusalem.
και αυτη αυτη τη ωρα επιστασα ανθωμολογειτο τω κυριω και ελαλει περι αυτου πασιν τοισ προσδεχομενοισ λυτρωσιν εν ιερουσαλημ
39 And when they completed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee to their own city Nazareth.
και ωσ ετελεσαν απαντα τα κατα τον νομον κυριου υπεστρεψαν εισ την γαλιλαιαν εισ την πολιν εαυτων ναζαρετ
40 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom. And the grace of God was upon it.
το δε παιδιον ηυξανεν και εκραταιουτο πνευματι πληρουμενον σοφιασ και χαρισ θεου ην επ αυτο
41 And his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.
και επορευοντο οι γονεισ αυτου κατ ετοσ εισ ιερουσαλημ τη εορτη του πασχα
42 And when he became twelve years old, them having gone up according to the custom of the feast,
και οτε εγενετο ετων δωδεκα αναβαντων αυτων εισ ιεροσολυμα κατα το εθοσ τησ εορτησ
43 and having fulfilled the days, during their return the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and his mother did not know it,
και τελειωσαντων τασ ημερασ εν τω υποστρεφειν αυτουσ υπεμεινεν ιησουσ ο παισ εν ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εγνω ιωσηφ και η μητηρ αυτου
44 but, having supposed him to be in the caravan, they went a day's journey. And they sought him among their kinfolk and 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, they turned back to Jerusalem, seeking him.
και μη ευροντεσ αυτον υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ ζητουντεσ αυτον
46 And it came to pass after three days 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 And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
εξισταντο δε παντεσ οι ακουοντεσ αυτου επι τη συνεσει και ταισ αποκρισεσιν αυτου
48 And when they saw him they were amazed. And his mother said to him, Child, why did thou this way to us? Behold, thy father and I were seeking thee sorrowing.
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 that ye were seeking me? Had ye not known that I must be among the things of my Father?
και ειπεν προσ αυτουσ τι οτι εζητειτε με ουκ ηδειτε οτι εν τοισ του πατροσ μου δει ειναι με
50 And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them.
και αυτοι ου συνηκαν το ρημα ο ελαλησεν αυτοισ
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was being subordinate to them. And his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
και κατεβη μετ αυτων και ηλθεν εισ ναζαρετ και ην υποτασσομενοσ αυτοισ και η μητηρ αυτου διετηρει παντα τα ρηματα ταυτα εν τη καρδια αυτησ
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and men.
και ιησουσ προεκοπτεν σοφια και ηλικια και χαριτι παρα θεω και ανθρωποισ
