1 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.
Εγένετο-δὲ-εν-ταῖς-ημέραις-εκείναις-εξῆλθεν-δόγμα-παρὰ-Καίσαρος-Αυγούστου-απογράφεσθαι-πᾶσαν-τὴν-οικουμένην-.-
2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.
αύτη-απογραφὴ-πρώτη-εγένετο-ηγεμονεύοντος-τῆς-Συρίας-Κυρηνίου-.-
3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
καὶ-επορεύοντο-πάντες-απογράφεσθαι-,-έκαστος-εις-τὴν-εαυτοῦ-πόλιν-.-
4 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 lineage of David,
Ανέβη-δὲ-καὶ-Ιωσὴφ-απὸ-τῆς-Γαλιλαίας-εκ-πόλεως-Ναζαρὲθ-εις-τὴν-Ιουδαίαν-εις-πόλιν-Δαυὶδ-ήτις-καλεῖται-Βηθλέεμ-,-διὰ-τὸ-εῖναι-αυτὸν-εξ-οίκου-καὶ-πατριᾶς-Δαυίδ-,-
5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
απογράψασθαι-σὺν-Μαριὰμ-τῆ-εμνηστευμένη-αυτῶ-,-ούση-εγκύω-.-
6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.
εγένετο-δὲ-εν-τῶ-εῖναι-αυτοὺς-εκεῖ-επλήσθησαν-αι-ημέραι-τοῦ-τεκεῖν-αυτήν-,-
7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
καὶ-έτεκεν-τὸν-υιὸν-αυτῆς-τὸν-πρωτότοκον-·-καὶ-εσπαργάνωσεν-αυτὸν-καὶ-ανέκλινεν-αυτὸν-εν-φάτνη-,-διότι-ουκ-ῆν-αυτοῖς-τόπος-εν-τῶ-καταλύματι-.-
8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Καὶ-ποιμένες-ῆσαν-εν-τῆ-χώρα-τῆ-αυτῆ-αγραυλοῦντες-καὶ-φυλάσσοντες-φυλακὰς-τῆς-νυκτὸς-επὶ-τὴν-ποίμνην-αυτῶν-.-
9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.
καὶ-άγγελος-κυρίου-επέστη-αυτοῖς-καὶ-δόξα-κυρίου-περιέλαμψεν-αυτούς-,-καὶ-εφοβήθησαν-φόβον-μέγαν-.-
10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
καὶ-εῖπεν-αυτοῖς-ο-άγγελος-,-Μὴ-φοβεῖσθε-,-ιδοὺ-γὰρ-ευαγγελίζομαι-υμῖν-χαρὰν-μεγάλην-ήτις-έσται-παντὶ-τῶ-λαῶ-,-
11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
ότι-ετέχθη-υμῖν-σήμερον-σωτὴρ-ός-εστιν-Χριστὸς-κύριος-εν-πόλει-Δαυίδ-·-
12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
καὶ-τοῦτο-υμῖν-τὸ-σημεῖον-,-ευρήσετε-βρέφος-εσπαργανωμένον-καὶ-κείμενον-εν-φάτνη-.-
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
καὶ-εξαίφνης-εγένετο-σὺν-τῶ-αγγέλω-πλῆθος-στρατιᾶς-ουρανίου-αινούντων-τὸν-θεὸν-καὶ-λεγόντων-,-
14 “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
Δόξα-εν-υψίστοις-θεῶ-καὶ-επὶ-γῆς-ειρήνη-εν-ανθρώποις-ευδοκίας-.-
15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Καὶ-εγένετο-ως-απῆλθον-απ᾿-αυτῶν-εις-τὸν-ουρανὸν-οι-άγγελοι-,-οι-ποιμένες-ελάλουν-πρὸς-αλλήλους-,-Διέλθωμεν-δὴ-έως-Βηθλέεμ-καὶ-ίδωμεν-τὸ-ρῆμα-τοῦτο-τὸ-γεγονὸς-ὸ-ο-κύριος-εγνώρισεν-ημῖν-.-
16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.
καὶ-ῆλθον-σπεύσαντες-καὶ-ανεῦρον-τήν-τε-Μαριὰμ-καὶ-τὸν-Ιωσὴφ-καὶ-τὸ-βρέφος-κείμενον-εν-τῆ-φάτνη-·-
17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child.
ιδόντες-δὲ-εγνώρισαν-περὶ-τοῦ-ρήματος-τοῦ-λαληθέντος-αυτοῖς-περὶ-τοῦ-παιδίου-τούτου-.-
18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
καὶ-πάντες-οι-ακούσαντες-εθαύμασαν-περὶ-τῶν-λαληθέντων-υπὸ-τῶν-ποιμένων-πρὸς-αυτούς-·-
19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
η-δὲ-Μαριὰμ-πάντα-συνετήρει-τὰ-ρήματα-ταῦτα-συμβάλλουσα-εν-τῆ-καρδία-αυτῆς-.-
20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.
καὶ-υπέστρεψαν-οι-ποιμένες-δοξάζοντες-καὶ-αινοῦντες-τὸν-θεὸν-επὶ-πᾶσιν-οῖς-ήκουσαν-καὶ-εῖδον-καθὼς-ελαλήθη-πρὸς-αυτούς-.-
21 And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
Καὶ-ότε-επλήσθησαν-ημέραι-οκτὼ-τοῦ-περιτεμεῖν-αυτόν-,-καὶ-εκλήθη-τὸ-όνομα-αυτοῦ-Ιησοῦς-,-τὸ-κληθὲν-υπὸ-τοῦ-αγγέλου-πρὸ-τοῦ-συλλημφθῆναι-αυτὸν-εν-τῆ-κοιλία-.-
22 Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
Καὶ-ότε-επλήσθησαν-αι-ημέραι-τοῦ-καθαρισμοῦ-αυτῶν-κατὰ-τὸν-νόμον-Μωυσέως-,-ανήγαγον-αυτὸν-εις-Ιεροσόλυμα-παραστῆσαι-τῶ-κυρίω-,-
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the LORD”),
καθὼς-γέγραπται-εν-νόμω-κυρίου-ότι-Πᾶν-άρσεν-διανοῖγον-μήτραν-άγιον-τῶ-κυρίω-κληθήσεται-,-
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
καὶ-τοῦ-δοῦναι-θυσίαν-κατὰ-τὸ-ειρημένον-εν-τῶ-νόμω-κυρίου-,-ζεῦγος-τρυγόνων-ὴ-δύο-νοσσοὺς-περιστερῶν-.-
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Καὶ-ιδοὺ-άνθρωπος-ῆν-εν-Ιερουσαλὴμ-ῶ-όνομα-Συμεών-,-καὶ-ο-άνθρωπος-οῦτος-δίκαιος-καὶ-ευλαβής-,-προσδεχόμενος-παράκλησιν-τοῦ-Ισραήλ-,-καὶ-πνεῦμα-ῆν-άγιον-επ᾿-αυτόν-·-
26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
καὶ-ῆν-αυτῶ-κεχρηματισμένον-υπὸ-τοῦ-πνεύματος-τοῦ-αγίου-μὴ-ιδεῖν-θάνατον-πρὶν-[-ὴ-]-ὰν-ίδη-τὸν-Χριστὸν-κυρίου-.-
27 So he came by 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,
καὶ-ῆλθεν-εν-τῶ-πνεύματι-εις-τὸ-ιερόν-·-καὶ-εν-τῶ-εισαγαγεῖν-τοὺς-γονεῖς-τὸ-παιδίον-Ιησοῦν-τοῦ-ποιῆσαι-αυτοὺς-κατὰ-τὸ-ειθισμένον-τοῦ-νόμου-περὶ-αυτοῦ-
28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:
καὶ-αυτὸς-εδέξατο-αυτὸ-εις-τὰς-αγκάλας-καὶ-ευλόγησεν-τὸν-θεὸν-καὶ-εῖπεν-,-
29 “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word;
Νῦν-απολύεις-τὸν-δοῦλόν-σου-,-δέσποτα-,-κατὰ-τὸ-ρῆμά-σου-εν-ειρήνη-·-
30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation
ότι-εῖδον-οι-οφθαλμοί-μου-τὸ-σωτήριόν-σου-
31 Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,
ὸ-ητοίμασας-κατὰ-πρόσωπον-πάντων-τῶν-λαῶν-,-
32 A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.”
φῶς-εις-αποκάλυψιν-εθνῶν-καὶ-δόξαν-λαοῦ-σου-Ισραήλ-.-
33 And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him.
καὶ-ῆν-ο-πατὴρ-αυτοῦ-καὶ-η-μήτηρ-θαυμάζοντες-επὶ-τοῖς-λαλουμένοις-περὶ-αυτοῦ-.-
34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against
καὶ-ευλόγησεν-αυτοὺς-Συμεὼν-καὶ-εῖπεν-πρὸς-Μαριὰμ-τὴν-μητέρα-αυτοῦ-,-Ιδοὺ-οῦτος-κεῖται-εις-πτῶσιν-καὶ-ανάστασιν-πολλῶν-εν-τῶ-Ισραὴλ-καὶ-εις-σημεῖον-αντιλεγόμενον-
35 (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
[-καὶ-σοῦ-[-δὲ-]-αυτῆς-τὴν-ψυχὴν-διελεύσεται-ρομφαία-],-όπως-ὰν-αποκαλυφθῶσιν-εκ-πολλῶν-καρδιῶν-διαλογισμοί-.-
36 Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
Καὶ-ῆν-Άννα-προφῆτις-,-θυγάτηρ-Φανουήλ-,-εκ-φυλῆς-Ασήρ-·-αύτη-προβεβηκυῖα-εν-ημέραις-πολλαῖς-,-ζήσασα-μετὰ-ανδρὸς-έτη-επτὰ-απὸ-τῆς-παρθενίας-αυτῆς-,-
37 and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
καὶ-αυτὴ-χήρα-έως-ετῶν-ογδοήκοντα-τεσσάρων-,-ὴ-ουκ-αφίστατο-τοῦ-ιεροῦ-νηστείαις-καὶ-δεήσεσιν-λατρεύουσα-νύκτα-καὶ-ημέραν-.-
38 And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
καὶ-αυτῆ-τῆ-ώρα-επιστᾶσα-ανθωμολογεῖτο-τῶ-θεῶ-καὶ-ελάλει-περὶ-αυτοῦ-πᾶσιν-τοῖς-προσδεχομένοις-λύτρωσιν-Ιερουσαλήμ-.-
39 So when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
Καὶ-ως-ετέλεσαν-πάντα-τὰ-κατὰ-τὸν-νόμον-κυρίου-,-επέστρεψαν-εις-τὴν-Γαλιλαίαν-εις-πόλιν-εαυτῶν-Ναζαρέθ-.-
40 And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
Τὸ-δὲ-παιδίον-ηύξανεν-καὶ-εκραταιοῦτο-πληρούμενον-σοφία-,-καὶ-χάρις-θεοῦ-ῆν-επ᾿-αυτό-.-
41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.
Καὶ-επορεύοντο-οι-γονεῖς-αυτοῦ-κατ᾿-έτος-εις-Ιερουσαλὴμ-τῆ-εορτῆ-τοῦ-πάσχα-.-
42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
καὶ-ότε-εγένετο-ετῶν-δώδεκα-,-αναβαινόντων-αυτῶν-κατὰ-τὸ-έθος-τῆς-εορτῆς-
43 When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it;
καὶ-τελειωσάντων-τὰς-ημέρας-,-εν-τῶ-υποστρέφειν-αυτοὺς-υπέμεινεν-Ιησοῦς-ο-παῖς-εν-Ιερουσαλήμ-,-καὶ-ουκ-έγνωσαν-οι-γονεῖς-αυτοῦ-.-
44 but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day’s journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
νομίσαντες-δὲ-αυτὸν-εῖναι-εν-τῆ-συνοδία-ῆλθον-ημέρας-οδὸν-καὶ-ανεζήτουν-αυτὸν-εν-τοῖς-συγγενεῦσιν-καὶ-τοῖς-γνωστοῖς-,-
45 So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him.
καὶ-μὴ-ευρόντες-υπέστρεψαν-εις-Ιερουσαλὴμ-αναζητοῦντες-αυτόν-.-
46 Now so it was 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.
καὶ-εγένετο-μετὰ-ημέρας-τρεῖς-εῦρον-αυτὸν-εν-τῶ-ιερῶ-καθεζόμενον-εν-μέσω-τῶν-διδασκάλων-καὶ-ακούοντα-αυτῶν-καὶ-επερωτῶντα-αυτούς-·-
47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
εξίσταντο-δὲ-πάντες-οι-ακούοντες-αυτοῦ-επὶ-τῆ-συνέσει-καὶ-ταῖς-αποκρίσεσιν-αυτοῦ-.-
48 So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.”
καὶ-ιδόντες-αυτὸν-εξεπλάγησαν-,-καὶ-εῖπεν-πρὸς-αυτὸν-η-μήτηρ-αυτοῦ-,-Τέκνον-,-τί-εποίησας-ημῖν-ούτως-;-ιδοὺ-ο-πατήρ-σου-καγὼ-οδυνώμενοι-εζητοῦμέν-σε-.-
49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”
καὶ-εῖπεν-πρὸς-αυτούς-,-Τί-ότι-εζητεῖτέ-με-;-ουκ-ήδειτε-ότι-εν-τοῖς-τοῦ-πατρός-μου-δεῖ-εῖναί-με-;-
50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.
καὶ-αυτοὶ-ου-συνῆκαν-τὸ-ρῆμα-ὸ-ελάλησεν-αυτοῖς-.-
51 Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.
καὶ-κατέβη-μετ᾿-αυτῶν-καὶ-ῆλθεν-εις-Ναζαρέθ-,-καὶ-ῆν-υποτασσόμενος-αυτοῖς-.-καὶ-η-μήτηρ-αυτοῦ-διετήρει-πάντα-τὰ-ρήματα-εν-τῆ-καρδία-αυτῆς-.-
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Καὶ-Ιησοῦς-προέκοπτεν-[-εν-τῆ-]-σοφία-καὶ-ηλικία-καὶ-χάριτι-παρὰ-θεῶ-καὶ-ανθρώποις-.-
