Luke 2
1 And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be registered.
εγενετο δε εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ εξηλθεν δογμα παρα καισαροσ αυγουστου απογραφεσθαι πασαν την οικουμενην
2 (This registering was the first made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.)
αυτη η απογραφη πρωτη εγενετο ηγεμονευοντοσ τησ συριασ κυρηνιου
3 And all went to be registered, each to his own 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 Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage 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 be registered with Mary who had been betrothed to him, who was with child.
απογραψασθαι συν μαριαμ τη μεμνηστευμενη αυτω γυναικι ουση εγκυω
6 And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days for her delivery were completed.
εγενετο δε εν τω ειναι αυτουσ εκει επλησθησαν αι ημεραι του τεκειν αυτην
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swathing-clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room 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 in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, and keeping watch over their flock by night.
και ποιμενεσ ησαν εν τη χωρα τη αυτη αγραυλουντεσ και φυλασσοντεσ φυλακασ τησ νυκτοσ επι την ποιμνην αυτων
9 And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.
και ιδου αγγελοσ κυριου επεστη αυτοισ και δοξα κυριου περιελαμψεν αυτουσ και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν
10 And the angel said to them, Fear not; for lo! I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to the whole people;
και ειπεν αυτοισ ο αγγελοσ μη φοβεισθε ιδου γαρ ευαγγελιζομαι υμιν χαραν μεγαλην ητισ εσται παντι τω λαω
11 for to you hath been born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Christ, the Lord.
οτι ετεχθη υμιν σημερον σωτηρ οσ εστιν χριστοσ κυριοσ εν πολει δαυιδ
12 And this shall be the sign to you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, [[lying]] in a manger.
και τουτο υμιν το σημειον ευρησετε βρεφοσ εσπαργανωμενον κειμενον εν φατνη
13 And suddenly there was with the angel 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 among men of good will!”
δοξα εν υψιστοισ θεω και επι γησ ειρηνη εν ανθρωποισ ευδοκια
15 And it came to pass, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said one to another, Let us go at once to Bethlehem, and see that which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath 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 with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.
και ηλθον σπευσαντεσ και ανευρον την τε μαριαμ και τον ιωσηφ και το βρεφοσ κειμενον εν τη φατνη
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad what had been told them concerning this child.
ιδοντεσ δε διεγνωρισαν περι του ρηματοσ του λαληθεντοσ αυτοισ περι του παιδιου τουτου
18 And all who heard wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
και παντεσ οι ακουσαντεσ εθαυμασαν περι των λαληθεντων υπο των ποιμενων προσ αυτουσ
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them 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 which they had heard and seen, as had been told 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 completed for him to be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
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 completed, they brought him 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 as it is written in the law of the Lord: “Every first-born male shall 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 what is directed in the 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 lo! there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and he was a righteous and devout man, waiting for the consolation 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 had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he had seen 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 when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,
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 took him in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
και αυτοσ εδεξατο αυτο εισ τασ αγκαλασ αυτου και ευλογησεν τον θεον και ειπεν
29 Lord! now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;
νυν απολυεισ τον δουλον σου δεσποτα κατα το ρημα σου εν ειρηνη
30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
οτι ειδον οι οφθαλμοι μου το σωτηριον σου
31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all the peoples;
ο ητοιμασασ κατα προσωπον παντων των λαων
32 a light to enlighten the gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
φωσ εισ αποκαλυψιν εθνων και δοξαν λαου σου ισραηλ
33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was spoken concerning 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 child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that will be 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, a sword will pierce through thine own soul, —that the thoughts 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, daughter of Phanuel: of the tribe of Asher; she was of great age, and had 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 she was a widow eighty-four years old, who never left the temple, worshipping with fastings and prayers 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 she came up at this very time, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all that were looking for the redemption 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 all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to 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 waxed strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.
το δε παιδιον ηυξανεν και εκραταιουτο πνευματι πληρουμενον σοφιασ και χαρισ θεου ην επ αυτο
41 Now his parents used to go yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
και επορευοντο οι γονεισ αυτου κατ ετοσ εισ ιερουσαλημ τη εορτη του πασχα
42 And when he was twelve years old, and they went up, after the custom of the feast,
και οτε εγενετο ετων δωδεκα αναβαντων αυτων εισ ιεροσολυμα κατα το εθοσ τησ εορτησ
43 and had completed the days, on their returning, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents 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, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance;
νομισαντεσ δε αυτον εν τη συνοδια ειναι ηλθον ημερασ οδον και ανεζητουν αυτον εν τοισ συγγενεσιν και εν τοισ γνωστοισ
45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of him.
και μη ευροντεσ αυτον υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ ζητουντεσ αυτον
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
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 his 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, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have been seeking thee in much distress.
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 have been seeking me? Did ye not know that I must be about my Father's business?
και ειπεν προσ αυτουσ τι οτι εζητειτε με ουκ ηδειτε οτι εν τοισ του πατροσ μου δει ειναι με
50 And they understood not what 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 subject to them. And his mother kept all these things 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 stature, and in favor with God and men.
και ιησουσ προεκοπτεν σοφια και ηλικια και χαριτι παρα θεω και ανθρωποισ
