Luke

Chapter 2

1 And1161 it came to pass1096 in1722 those1565 days,2250 that there went out1831 a decree1378 from3844 Caesar2541 Augustus,828 that all3956 the3588 world3625 should be taxed.583

2 (And this3778 taxing582 was first4413 made1096 when Cyrenius2958 was governor2230 of Syria.)4947

3 And2532 all3956 went4198 to be taxed,583 every one1538 into1519 his own2398 city.4172

4 And1161 Joseph2501 also2532 went up305 from575 Galilee,1056 out of1537 the city4172 of Nazareth,3478 into1519 Judea,2449 unto1519 the city4172 of David,1138 which3748 is called2564 Bethlehem;965 because1223 (he846 was1511 of1537 the house3624 and2532 lineage3965 of David: )1138

5 To be taxed583 with4862 Mary3137 his846 espoused3423 wife,1135 being5607 great with child.1471

6 And1161 so it was,1096 that, while they846 were1511 there,1563 the3588 days2250 were accomplished4130 that she846 should be delivered.5088

7 And2532 she brought forth5088 her848 firstborn4416 son,5207 and2532 wrapped him in swaddling clothes,4683 846 and2532 laid347 him846 in1722 a manger;5336 because1360 there was2258 no3756 room5117 for them846 in1722 the3588 inn.2646

8 And2532 there were2258 in1722 the3588 same846 country5561 shepherds4166 abiding in63 the field,2532 keeping5442 watch5438 over1909 their848 flock4167 by night.3571

9 And,2532 lo,2400 the angel32 of the Lord2962 came upon2186 them,846 and2532 the glory1391 of the Lord2962 shone round about4034 them:846 and2532 they were sore afraid.5399 3173 5401

10 And2532 the3588 angel32 said2036 unto them,846 Fear5399 not:3361 for,1063 behold,2400 I bring you good tidings2097 5213 of great3173 joy,5479 which3748 shall be2071 to all3956 people.2992

11 For3754 unto you5213 is born5088 this day4594 in1722 the city4172 of David1138 a Savior,4990 which3739 is2076 Christ5547 the Lord.2962

12 And2532 this5124 shall be a sign4592 unto you;5213 Ye shall find2147 the babe1025 wrapped in swaddling clothes,4683 lying2749 in1722 a manger.5336

13 And2532 suddenly1810 there was1096 with4862 the3588 angel32 a multitude4128 of the heavenly3770 host4756 praising134 God,2316 and2532 saying,3004

14 Glory1391 to God2316 in1722 the highest,5310 and2532 on1909 earth1093 peace,1515 good will2107 toward1722 men.444

15 And2532 it came to pass,1096 as5613 the3588 angels32 were gone away565 from575 them846 into1519 heaven,3772 444 the3588 shepherds4166 said2036 one to another,240 4314 Let us now go1330 even1211 unto2193 Bethlehem,965 and2532 see1492 this5124 thing4487 which is come to pass,1096 which3739 the3588 Lord2962 hath made known1107 unto us.2254

16 And2532 they came2064 with haste,4692 and2532 found429 5037 Mary,3137 and2532 Joseph,2501 and2532 the3588 babe1025 lying2749 in1722 a manger.5336

17 And1161 when they had seen1492 it, they made known1232 abroad4012 the3588 saying4487 which was told2980 them846 concerning4012 this5127 child.3813

18 And2532 all3956 they that heard191 it wondered2296 at4012 those things which were told2980 them846 by5259 the3588 shepherds.4166

19 But1161 Mary3137 kept4933 all3956 these5023 things,4487 and pondered4820 them in1722 her848 heart.2588

20 And2532 the3588 shepherds4166 returned,1994 glorifying1392 and2532 praising134 God2316 for1909 all3956 the things that3739 they had heard191 and2532 seen,1492 as2531 it was told2980 unto4314 them.846

21 And2532 when3753 eight3638 days2250 were accomplished4130 for the circumcising4059 of the3588 child,3813 2532 his846 name3686 was called2564 JESUS,2424 which was so named2564 of5259 the3588 angel32 before4253 he846 was conceived4815 in1722 the3588 womb.2836

22 And2532 when3753 the3588 days2250 of her846 purification2512 according2596 to the3588 law3551 of Moses3475 were accomplished,4130 they brought321 him846 to1519 Jerusalem,2414 to present3936 him to the3588 Lord;2962

23 (As2531 it is written1125 in1722 the law3551 of the Lord,2962 Every3956 male730 that openeth1272 the womb3388 shall be called2564 holy40 to the3588 Lord;)2962

24 And2532 to offer1325 a sacrifice2378 according2596 to that which is said2046 in1722 the law3551 of the Lord,2962 A pair2201 of turtledoves,5167 or2228 two1417 young3502 pigeons.4058

25 And,2532 behold,2400 there was2258 a man444 in1722 Jerusalem,2419 whose3739 name3686 was Simeon;4826 and2532 the same3778 man444 was just1342 and2532 devout,2126 waiting for4327 the consolation3874 of Israel:2474 and2532 the Holy40 Ghost4151 was2258 upon1909 him.846

26 And2532 it was2258 revealed5537 unto him846 by5259 the3588 Holy40 Ghost,4151 that he should not3361 see1492 death,2288 before4250 he had seen1492 the Lord's2962 Christ.5547

27 And2532 he came2064 by1722 the3588 Spirit4151 into1519 the3588 temple:2411 and2532 when the3588 parents1118 brought in1521 the3588 child3813 Jesus,2424 to do4160 for4012 him846 after2596 the3588 custom1480 of the3588 law,3551

28 Then2532 took he him up1209 846 846 in1519 his848 arms,43 and2532 blessed2127 God,2316 and2532 said,2036

29 Lord,1203 now3568 lettest thou thy4675 servant1401 depart630 in1722 peace,1515 according2596 to thy4675 word: 4487

30 For3754 mine3450 eyes3788 have seen1492 thy4675 salvation,4992

31 Which3739 thou hast prepared2090 before2596 the face4383 of all3956 people;2992

32 A light5457 to1519 lighten602 the Gentiles,1484 and2532 the glory1391 of thy4675 people2992 Israel.2474

33 And2532 Joseph2501 and2532 his846 mother3384 marveled2258 2296 at1909 those things which were spoken2980 of4012 him.846

34 And2532 Simeon4826 blessed2127 them,846 and2532 said2036 unto4314 Mary3137 his846 mother,3384 Behold,2400 this3778 child is set2749 for1519 the fall4431 and2532 rising again386 of many4183 in1722 Israel;2474 and2532 for1519 a sign4592 which shall be spoken against;483

35 (Yea,1161 a846 sword4501 shall pierce through1330 thy own846 soul5590 also,)2532 that3704 the thoughts1261 of1537 many4183 hearts2588 may be revealed.601 302

36 And2532 there was2258 one Anna,451 a prophetess,4398 the daughter2364 of Phanuel,5323 of1537 the tribe5443 of Asher:768 she3778 was of a great age,4260 1722 4183 2250 and had lived2198 with3326 a husband435 seven2033 years2094 from575 her848 virginity;3932

37 And2532 she3778 was a widow5503 of about5613 fourscore and and four3589 5064 years,2094 which3739 departed868 not3756 from575 the3588 temple,2411 but served3000 God with fastings3521 and2532 prayers1162 night3571 and2532 day.2250

38 And2532 she3778 coming2186 in that instant846 5610 gave thanks437 likewise unto the3588 Lord,2962 and2532 spake2980 of4012 him846 to all3956 them that looked for4327 redemption3085 in1722 Jerusalem.2419

39 And2532 when5613 they had performed5055 all things537 according2596 to the3588 law3551 of the Lord,2962 they returned5290 into1519 Galilee,1056 to1519 their own848 city4172 Nazareth.3478

40 And1161 the3588 child3813 grew,837 and2532 waxed strong2901 in spirit,4151 filled4137 with wisdom:4678 and2532 the grace5485 of God2316 was2258 upon1909 him.846

41 Now2532 his846 parents1118 went4198 to1519 Jerusalem2419 every year2596 2094 at the3588 feast1859 of the3588 passover.3957

42 And2532 when3753 he was1096 twelve years old,1427 2094 they846 went up305 to1519 Jerusalem2414 after2596 the3588 custom1485 of the3588 feast.1859

43 And2532 when they had fulfilled5048 the3588 days,2250 as they846 returned,5290 the3588 child3816 Jesus2424 tarried behind5278 in1722 Jerusalem;2419 and2532 Joseph2501 and2532 his846 mother3384 knew1097 not3756 of it.

44 But1161 they, supposing3543 him846 to have been1511 in1722 the3588 company,4923 went2064 a day's2250 journey;3598 and2532 they sought327 him846 among1722 their kinsfolk4773 and2532 1722 acquaintance.1110

45 And2532 when they found2147 him846 not,3361 they turned back again5290 to1519 Jerusalem,2419 seeking2212 him.846

46 And2532 it came to pass,1096 that after3326 three5140 days2250 they found2147 him846 in1722 the3588 temple,2411 sitting2516 in1722 the midst3319 of the3588 doctors,1320 both2532 hearing191 them,846 and2532 asking them questions.1905 846

47 And1161 all3956 that heard191 him846 were astonished1839 at1909 his846 understanding4907 and2532 answers.612

48 And2532 when they saw1492 him,846 they were amazed:1605 and2532 his846 mother3384 said2036 unto4314 him,846 Son,5043 why5101 hast thou thus3779 dealt4160 with us?2254 behold,2400 thy4675 father3962 and I2504 have sought2212 thee4571 sorrowing.3600

49 And2532 he said2036 unto4314 them,846 How5101 is it that3754 ye sought2212 me?3165 wist1492 ye not3756 that3754 I3165 must1163 be1511 about1722 my3450 Father's business?3588 3962

50 And2532 they846 understood4920 not3756 the3588 saying4487 which3739 he spake2980 unto them.846

51 And2532 he went down2597 with3326 them,846 and2532 came2064 to1519 Nazareth,3478 and2532 was2258 subject unto5293 them:846 but2532 his846 mother3384 kept1301 all3956 these5023 sayings4487 in1722 her848 heart.2588

52 And2532 Jesus2424 increased4298 in wisdom4678 and2532 stature,2244 and2532 in favor5485 with3844 God2316 and2532 man.444

第2章

1 當那些日子,凱撒奧古斯都有旨意下來,叫普世[all the world]人民都要上稅[should be taxed]

2 (這是居里扭作敘利亞巡撫的時候,第一次行徵稅[taxing]的事。)

3 眾人各歸各城,都上稅去[all went to be taxed]

4 約瑟也從加利利的拿撒勒城上猶太去,到了大衛的城,名叫伯利恆;(因他本是大衛家系[house and lineage]的人。)

5 要和他所聘之妻馬利亞一同上稅[taxed],那時馬利亞的身孕已經重了。

6 他們在那裏的時候,馬利亞的產期到了。

7 [she]就生了頭胎的兒子,把他[him]用布包起來,放在馬槽裏;因為客店裏容不下他們[no room for them]

8 在伯.利恆之野地裏有牧羊的人,夜間按著更次看守羊群。

9 不料[lo],有主的天使[angel]臨到他們[came upon them],主的榮光四面照著他們;牧羊的人就甚懼怕。

10 那天使對他們說:「不要懼怕。因為看哪[for, behold],我報給你們大喜的信息,是關乎眾民的。

11 因今天在大衛的城裏,為你們生了救主,就是主─基督。

12 你們要看見一個嬰孩,包著布,臥在馬槽裏;所給你們作的記號,必是這樣[this shall be a sign unto you]。」

13 忽然,有一大隊天兵同那天使讚美神,說:

14 「在至高之處榮耀歸與神,在地上平安、喜悅歸與人[good will toward men]。」

15 眾天使離開他們,升天去了,牧羊的人彼此說:「現在[now]我們往伯利恆去,看看所成的事,就是主所指示我們的。」

16 他們急忙去了,就尋見馬利亞和約瑟,又有那嬰孩臥在馬槽裏。

17 他們[they]既看見這事[it],就把天使告訴他們[told them]、論這孩子的話傳開了。

18 凡聽見這話[it]的,就詫異牧羊之人告訴他們[told them]那些事[things]

19 馬利亞卻把這一切的事存在心裏,反復思想。

20 牧羊的人回去了,因所聽見所看見的一切事,正如天使所告訴[was told]他們的,就歸榮耀與神,讚美他。

21 滿了八天,就給孩子行割禮,給他起名叫[his name was called]「耶穌」,這就是沒有成胎以前,天使所起的名。

22 按摩西律法滿了[her]潔淨的日子,他們帶著孩子[to]往耶路撒冷去,要把他獻與主;

23 (正如主的律法上所記:「凡頭生的男子必稱聖歸主;」)

24 又要照主的律法上所說:「用一對[A pair of]班鳩,或用兩隻雛鴿獻祭。」

25 恰巧[behold]在耶路撒冷有一個人,名叫西面;這人又公義又虔誠,素常等侯[waiting]以色列的安慰者來到。又有聖靈在他身上。

26 他得了聖靈的啟示,知道自己[see]以先[before],必看見主所立的基督。

27 他受了[Spirit]的感動,進入聖殿;正遇見耶穌的父母抱著孩子進來,要給他[for him]照律法的規矩辦理,

28 西面就抱起他在臂中[took he him up in his arms],稱頌神說:

29 主啊,如今可以照你的話,釋放[thy]僕人安然去世;

30 因為我的眼睛已經看見你的救恩─

31 就是你在眾民面前所預備的:

32 是照亮外邦人的光,又是你民以色列的榮耀。

33 約瑟和他母親[Joseph and his mother]論到[spoken of]耶穌的那些事[those things],就希奇。

34 西面給他們祝福,又對孩子的母親馬利亞說:「看哪[Behold],這孩子被立,是要叫以色列中許多人跌倒,許多人興起;又要作毀謗的話柄;

35 (妳自己的心也要被刀刺透,)叫許多人心裏的意念顯露出來。

36 又有女先知,名叫亞拿,是亞設支派法內力的女兒。[she]年紀已經老邁,從作處女[virginity]出嫁的時候,同丈夫住了七年就寡居了;

37 她寡居約有八十四年[And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years],並不離開聖殿,[but]禁食禱告[prayers],晝夜事奉神。

38 正當那時,她照常[likewise]進前來稱謝[Lord],將孩子的事對一切在耶路撒冷盼望得救贖的人[them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem]講說。

39 約瑟和馬利亞照主的律法辦完了一切的事,就回加利利,到自己的城拿撒勒去了。

40 孩子漸漸長大,靈性強健[waxed strong in spirit],充滿智慧;又有神的恩在他身上。

41 每年到逾越節,他父母就上耶路撒冷去。

42 當他十二歲的時候,他們按著節期的規矩上耶路撒冷[Jerusalem]去。

43 守滿了節期,他們回去了[returned],孩童耶穌仍舊在耶路撒冷;約瑟和他的母親[Joseph and his mother]並不知道。

44 他們卻[But they]以為他[have been]在同行的人中間,走了一天的路程;就在他們[they]親族和熟識的人中找他。

45 他們[they]既找不著,又轉向[turned back again to]耶路撒冷去找他。

46 過了三天,他們[they]就遇見他在殿裏,坐在教師中間,一面聽他們[them],一面問他們[them]

47 凡聽見他的,都希奇他的聰明和他的應對。

48 他們[they]看見就很希奇。他母親對他說:「我兒,為甚麼向我們這樣行呢?看哪,你父親和我傷心來找你。」

49 耶穌對他們[unto them]說:「你們[ye]怎麼[How is it that]找我呢?你們[ye]豈不知我必須以我父的事為念嗎[must be about my Father's business]?」

50對他們所說的話[saying which he spake unto them],他們不明白。

51 他就同他們下去,回到拿撒勒,並且順從他們;他母親[but]把這一切[sayings]都存在心裏。

52 耶穌的智慧和身量[stature],並神和人喜愛他的心,都一齊增長。

2 (這是居里扭作敘利亞巡撫的時候,第一次行徵稅[taxing]的事。)

3 And2532 all3956 went4198 to be taxed,583 every one1538 into1519 his own2398 city.4172

3 眾人各歸各城,都上稅去[all went to be taxed]

4 And1161 Joseph2501 also2532 went up305 from575 Galilee,1056 out of1537 the city4172 of Nazareth,3478 into1519 Judea,2449 unto1519 the city4172 of David,1138 which3748 is called2564 Bethlehem;965 because1223 (he846 was1511 of1537 the house3624 and2532 lineage3965 of David: )1138

4 約瑟也從加利利的拿撒勒城上猶太去,到了大衛的城,名叫伯利恆;(因他本是大衛家系[house and lineage]的人。)

5 To be taxed583 with4862 Mary3137 his846 espoused3423 wife,1135 being5607 great with child.1471

5 要和他所聘之妻馬利亞一同上稅[taxed],那時馬利亞的身孕已經重了。

6 And1161 so it was,1096 that, while they846 were1511 there,1563 the3588 days2250 were accomplished4130 that she846 should be delivered.5088

6 他們在那裏的時候,馬利亞的產期到了。

7 And2532 she brought forth5088 her848 firstborn4416 son,5207 and2532 wrapped him in swaddling clothes,4683 846 and2532 laid347 him846 in1722 a manger;5336 because1360 there was2258 no3756 room5117 for them846 in1722 the3588 inn.2646

7 [she]就生了頭胎的兒子,把他[him]用布包起來,放在馬槽裏;因為客店裏容不下他們[no room for them]

8 And2532 there were2258 in1722 the3588 same846 country5561 shepherds4166 abiding in63 the field,2532 keeping5442 watch5438 over1909 their848 flock4167 by night.3571

8 在伯.利恆之野地裏有牧羊的人,夜間按著更次看守羊群。

9 And,2532 lo,2400 the angel32 of the Lord2962 came upon2186 them,846 and2532 the glory1391 of the Lord2962 shone round about4034 them:846 and2532 they were sore afraid.5399 3173 5401

9 不料[lo],有主的天使[angel]臨到他們[came upon them],主的榮光四面照著他們;牧羊的人就甚懼怕。

10 And2532 the3588 angel32 said2036 unto them,846 Fear5399 not:3361 for,1063 behold,2400 I bring you good tidings2097 5213 of great3173 joy,5479 which3748 shall be2071 to all3956 people.2992

10 那天使對他們說:「不要懼怕。因為看哪[for, behold],我報給你們大喜的信息,是關乎眾民的。

11 For3754 unto you5213 is born5088 this day4594 in1722 the city4172 of David1138 a Savior,4990 which3739 is2076 Christ5547 the Lord.2962

11 因今天在大衛的城裏,為你們生了救主,就是主─基督。

12 And2532 this5124 shall be a sign4592 unto you;5213 Ye shall find2147 the babe1025 wrapped in swaddling clothes,4683 lying2749 in1722 a manger.5336

12 你們要看見一個嬰孩,包著布,臥在馬槽裏;所給你們作的記號,必是這樣[this shall be a sign unto you]。」

13 And2532 suddenly1810 there was1096 with4862 the3588 angel32 a multitude4128 of the heavenly3770 host4756 praising134 God,2316 and2532 saying,3004

13 忽然,有一大隊天兵同那天使讚美神,說:

14 Glory1391 to God2316 in1722 the highest,5310 and2532 on1909 earth1093 peace,1515 good will2107 toward1722 men.444

14 「在至高之處榮耀歸與神,在地上平安、喜悅歸與人[good will toward men]。」

15 And2532 it came to pass,1096 as5613 the3588 angels32 were gone away565 from575 them846 into1519 heaven,3772 444 the3588 shepherds4166 said2036 one to another,240 4314 Let us now go1330 even1211 unto2193 Bethlehem,965 and2532 see1492 this5124 thing4487 which is come to pass,1096 which3739 the3588 Lord2962 hath made known1107 unto us.2254

15 眾天使離開他們,升天去了,牧羊的人彼此說:「現在[now]我們往伯利恆去,看看所成的事,就是主所指示我們的。」

16 And2532 they came2064 with haste,4692 and2532 found429 5037 Mary,3137 and2532 Joseph,2501 and2532 the3588 babe1025 lying2749 in1722 a manger.5336

16 他們急忙去了,就尋見馬利亞和約瑟,又有那嬰孩臥在馬槽裏。

17 And1161 when they had seen1492 it, they made known1232 abroad4012 the3588 saying4487 which was told2980 them846 concerning4012 this5127 child.3813

17 他們[they]既看見這事[it],就把天使告訴他們[told them]、論這孩子的話傳開了。

18 And2532 all3956 they that heard191 it wondered2296 at4012 those things which were told2980 them846 by5259 the3588 shepherds.4166

18 凡聽見這話[it]的,就詫異牧羊之人告訴他們[told them]那些事[things]

19 But1161 Mary3137 kept4933 all3956 these5023 things,4487 and pondered4820 them in1722 her848 heart.2588

19 馬利亞卻把這一切的事存在心裏,反復思想。

20 And2532 the3588 shepherds4166 returned,1994 glorifying1392 and2532 praising134 God2316 for1909 all3956 the things that3739 they had heard191 and2532 seen,1492 as2531 it was told2980 unto4314 them.846

20 牧羊的人回去了,因所聽見所看見的一切事,正如天使所告訴[was told]他們的,就歸榮耀與神,讚美他。

21 And2532 when3753 eight3638 days2250 were accomplished4130 for the circumcising4059 of the3588 child,3813 2532 his846 name3686 was called2564 JESUS,2424 which was so named2564 of5259 the3588 angel32 before4253 he846 was conceived4815 in1722 the3588 womb.2836

21 滿了八天,就給孩子行割禮,給他起名叫[his name was called]「耶穌」,這就是沒有成胎以前,天使所起的名。

22 And2532 when3753 the3588 days2250 of her846 purification2512 according2596 to the3588 law3551 of Moses3475 were accomplished,4130 they brought321 him846 to1519 Jerusalem,2414 to present3936 him to the3588 Lord;2962

22 按摩西律法滿了[her]潔淨的日子,他們帶著孩子[to]往耶路撒冷去,要把他獻與主;

23 (As2531 it is written1125 in1722 the law3551 of the Lord,2962 Every3956 male730 that openeth1272 the womb3388 shall be called2564 holy40 to the3588 Lord;)2962

23 (正如主的律法上所記:「凡頭生的男子必稱聖歸主;」)

24 And2532 to offer1325 a sacrifice2378 according2596 to that which is said2046 in1722 the law3551 of the Lord,2962 A pair2201 of turtledoves,5167 or2228 two1417 young3502 pigeons.4058

24 又要照主的律法上所說:「用一對[A pair of]班鳩,或用兩隻雛鴿獻祭。」

25 And,2532 behold,2400 there was2258 a man444 in1722 Jerusalem,2419 whose3739 name3686 was Simeon;4826 and2532 the same3778 man444 was just1342 and2532 devout,2126 waiting for4327 the consolation3874 of Israel:2474 and2532 the Holy40 Ghost4151 was2258 upon1909 him.846

25 恰巧[behold]在耶路撒冷有一個人,名叫西面;這人又公義又虔誠,素常等侯[waiting]以色列的安慰者來到。又有聖靈在他身上。

26 And2532 it was2258 revealed5537 unto him846 by5259 the3588 Holy40 Ghost,4151 that he should not3361 see1492 death,2288 before4250 he had seen1492 the Lord's2962 Christ.5547

26 他得了聖靈的啟示,知道自己[see]以先[before],必看見主所立的基督。

27 And2532 he came2064 by1722 the3588 Spirit4151 into1519 the3588 temple:2411 and2532 when the3588 parents1118 brought in1521 the3588 child3813 Jesus,2424 to do4160 for4012 him846 after2596 the3588 custom1480 of the3588 law,3551

27 他受了[Spirit]的感動,進入聖殿;正遇見耶穌的父母抱著孩子進來,要給他[for him]照律法的規矩辦理,

28 Then2532 took he him up1209 846 846 in1519 his848 arms,43 and2532 blessed2127 God,2316 and2532 said,2036

28 西面就抱起他在臂中[took he him up in his arms],稱頌神說:

29 Lord,1203 now3568 lettest thou thy4675 servant1401 depart630 in1722 peace,1515 according2596 to thy4675 word: 4487

29 主啊,如今可以照你的話,釋放[thy]僕人安然去世;

30 For3754 mine3450 eyes3788 have seen1492 thy4675 salvation,4992

30 因為我的眼睛已經看見你的救恩─

31 Which3739 thou hast prepared2090 before2596 the face4383 of all3956 people;2992

31 就是你在眾民面前所預備的:

32 A light5457 to1519 lighten602 the Gentiles,1484 and2532 the glory1391 of thy4675 people2992 Israel.2474

32 是照亮外邦人的光,又是你民以色列的榮耀。

33 And2532 Joseph2501 and2532 his846 mother3384 marveled2258 2296 at1909 those things which were spoken2980 of4012 him.846

33 約瑟和他母親[Joseph and his mother]論到[spoken of]耶穌的那些事[those things],就希奇。

34 And2532 Simeon4826 blessed2127 them,846 and2532 said2036 unto4314 Mary3137 his846 mother,3384 Behold,2400 this3778 child is set2749 for1519 the fall4431 and2532 rising again386 of many4183 in1722 Israel;2474 and2532 for1519 a sign4592 which shall be spoken against;483

34 西面給他們祝福,又對孩子的母親馬利亞說:「看哪[Behold],這孩子被立,是要叫以色列中許多人跌倒,許多人興起;又要作毀謗的話柄;

35 (Yea,1161 a846 sword4501 shall pierce through1330 thy own846 soul5590 also,)2532 that3704 the thoughts1261 of1537 many4183 hearts2588 may be revealed.601 302

35 (妳自己的心也要被刀刺透,)叫許多人心裏的意念顯露出來。

36 And2532 there was2258 one Anna,451 a prophetess,4398 the daughter2364 of Phanuel,5323 of1537 the tribe5443 of Asher:768 she3778 was of a great age,4260 1722 4183 2250 and had lived2198 with3326 a husband435 seven2033 years2094 from575 her848 virginity;3932

36 又有女先知,名叫亞拿,是亞設支派法內力的女兒。[she]年紀已經老邁,從作處女[virginity]出嫁的時候,同丈夫住了七年就寡居了;

37 And2532 she3778 was a widow5503 of about5613 fourscore and and four3589 5064 years,2094 which3739 departed868 not3756 from575 the3588 temple,2411 but served3000 God with fastings3521 and2532 prayers1162 night3571 and2532 day.2250

37 她寡居約有八十四年[And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years],並不離開聖殿,[but]禁食禱告[prayers],晝夜事奉神。

38 And2532 she3778 coming2186 in that instant846 5610 gave thanks437 likewise unto the3588 Lord,2962 and2532 spake2980 of4012 him846 to all3956 them that looked for4327 redemption3085 in1722 Jerusalem.2419

38 正當那時,她照常[likewise]進前來稱謝[Lord],將孩子的事對一切在耶路撒冷盼望得救贖的人[them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem]講說。

39 And2532 when5613 they had performed5055 all things537 according2596 to the3588 law3551 of the Lord,2962 they returned5290 into1519 Galilee,1056 to1519 their own848 city4172 Nazareth.3478

39 約瑟和馬利亞照主的律法辦完了一切的事,就回加利利,到自己的城拿撒勒去了。

40 And1161 the3588 child3813 grew,837 and2532 waxed strong2901 in spirit,4151 filled4137 with wisdom:4678 and2532 the grace5485 of God2316 was2258 upon1909 him.846

40 孩子漸漸長大,靈性強健[waxed strong in spirit],充滿智慧;又有神的恩在他身上。

41 Now2532 his846 parents1118 went4198 to1519 Jerusalem2419 every year2596 2094 at the3588 feast1859 of the3588 passover.3957

41 每年到逾越節,他父母就上耶路撒冷去。

42 And2532 when3753 he was1096 twelve years old,1427 2094 they846 went up305 to1519 Jerusalem2414 after2596 the3588 custom1485 of the3588 feast.1859

42 當他十二歲的時候,他們按著節期的規矩上耶路撒冷[Jerusalem]去。

43 And2532 when they had fulfilled5048 the3588 days,2250 as they846 returned,5290 the3588 child3816 Jesus2424 tarried behind5278 in1722 Jerusalem;2419 and2532 Joseph2501 and2532 his846 mother3384 knew1097 not3756 of it.

43 守滿了節期,他們回去了[returned],孩童耶穌仍舊在耶路撒冷;約瑟和他的母親[Joseph and his mother]並不知道。

44 But1161 they, supposing3543 him846 to have been1511 in1722 the3588 company,4923 went2064 a day's2250 journey;3598 and2532 they sought327 him846 among1722 their kinsfolk4773 and2532 1722 acquaintance.1110

44 他們卻[But they]以為他[have been]在同行的人中間,走了一天的路程;就在他們[they]親族和熟識的人中找他。

45 And2532 when they found2147 him846 not,3361 they turned back again5290 to1519 Jerusalem,2419 seeking2212 him.846

45 他們[they]既找不著,又轉向[turned back again to]耶路撒冷去找他。

46 And2532 it came to pass,1096 that after3326 three5140 days2250 they found2147 him846 in1722 the3588 temple,2411 sitting2516 in1722 the midst3319 of the3588 doctors,1320 both2532 hearing191 them,846 and2532 asking them questions.1905 846

46 過了三天,他們[they]就遇見他在殿裏,坐在教師中間,一面聽他們[them],一面問他們[them]

47 And1161 all3956 that heard191 him846 were astonished1839 at1909 his846 understanding4907 and2532 answers.612

47 凡聽見他的,都希奇他的聰明和他的應對。

48 And2532 when they saw1492 him,846 they were amazed:1605 and2532 his846 mother3384 said2036 unto4314 him,846 Son,5043 why5101 hast thou thus3779 dealt4160 with us?2254 behold,2400 thy4675 father3962 and I2504 have sought2212 thee4571 sorrowing.3600

48 他們[they]看見就很希奇。他母親對他說:「我兒,為甚麼向我們這樣行呢?看哪,你父親和我傷心來找你。」

49 And2532 he said2036 unto4314 them,846 How5101 is it that3754 ye sought2212 me?3165 wist1492 ye not3756 that3754 I3165 must1163 be1511 about1722 my3450 Father's business?3588 3962

49 耶穌對他們[unto them]說:「你們[ye]怎麼[How is it that]找我呢?你們[ye]豈不知我必須以我父的事為念嗎[must be about my Father's business]?」

50 And2532 they846 understood4920 not3756 the3588 saying4487 which3739 he spake2980 unto them.846

50對他們所說的話[saying which he spake unto them],他們不明白。

51 And2532 he went down2597 with3326 them,846 and2532 came2064 to1519 Nazareth,3478 and2532 was2258 subject unto5293 them:846 but2532 his846 mother3384 kept1301 all3956 these5023 sayings4487 in1722 her848 heart.2588

51 他就同他們下去,回到拿撒勒,並且順從他們;他母親[but]把這一切[sayings]都存在心裏。

52 And2532 Jesus2424 increased4298 in wisdom4678 and2532 stature,2244 and2532 in favor5485 with3844 God2316 and2532 man.444

52 耶穌的智慧和身量[stature],並神和人喜愛他的心,都一齊增長。
