1Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.
1Y ACONTECIÓ en aquellos días que salió edicto de parte de Augusto César, que toda la tierra fuese empadronada.
2This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
2Este empadronamiento primero fué hecho siendo Cirenio gobernador de la Siria.
3And everyone went to his own town to register.
3E iban todos para ser empadronados, cada uno á su ciudad.
4So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David.
4Y subió José de Galilea, de la ciudad de Nazaret, á Judea, á la ciudad de David, que se llama Bethlehem, por cuanto era de la casa y familia de David;
5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.
5Para ser empadronado con María su mujer, desposada con él, la cual estaba en cinta.
6While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.
6Y aconteció que estando ellos allí, se cumplieron los días en que ella había de parir.
7And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
7Y parió á su hijo primogénito, y le envolvió en pañales, y acostóle en un pesebre, porque no había lugar para ellos en el mesón.
8And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
8Y había pastores en la misma tierra, que velaban y guardaban las vigilias de la noche sobre su ganado.
9Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
9Y he aquí el ángel del Señor vino sobre ellos, y la claridad de Dios los cercó de resplandor; y tuvieron gran temor.
10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people:
10Mas el ángel les dijo: No temáis; porque he aquí os doy nuevas de gran gozo, que será para todo el pueblo:
11Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
11Que os ha nacido hoy, en la ciudad de David, un Salvador, que es CRISTO el Señor.
12And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
12Y esto os será por señal: hallaréis al niño envuelto en pañales, echado en un pesebre.
13And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:
13Y repentinamente fué con el ángel una multitud de los ejércitos celestiales, que alababan á Dios, y decían:
14“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
14Gloria en las alturas á Dios, y en la tierra paz, buena voluntad para con los hombres.
15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
15Y aconteció que como los ángeles se fueron de ellos al cielo, los pastores dijeron los unos á los otros: Pasemos pues hasta Bethlehem, y veamos esto que ha sucedido, que el Señor nos ha manifestado.
16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.
16Y vinieron apriesa, y hallaron á María, y á José, y al niño acostado en el pesebre.
17After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.
17Y viéndolo, hicieron notorio lo que les había sido dicho del niño.
18And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
18Y todos los que oyeron, se maravillaron de lo que los pastores les decían.
19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
19Mas María guardaba todas estas cosas, confiriéndolas en su corazón.
20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
20Y se volvieron los pastores glorificando y alabando á Dios de todas las cosas que habían oído y visto, como les había sido dicho.
21When the eight days until His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He had been conceived.
21Y pasados los ocho días para circuncidar al niño, llamaron su nombre JESÚS; el cual le fué puesto por el ángel antes que él fuese concebido en el vientre.
22And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
22Y como se cumplieron los días de la purificación de ella, conforme á la ley de Moisés, le trajeron á Jerusalem para presentarle al Señor,
23(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),
23(Como está escrito en la ley del Señor: Todo varón que abriere la matriz, será llamado santo al Señor),
24and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
24Y para dar la ofrenda, conforme á lo que está dicho en la ley del Señor: un par de tórtolas, ó dos palominos.
25Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
25Y he aquí, había un hombre en Jerusalem, llamado Simeón, y este hombre, justo y pío, esperaba la consolación de Israel: y el Espíritu Santo era sobre él.
26The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
26Y había recibido respuesta del Espíritu Santo, que no vería la muerte antes que viese al Cristo del Señor.
27Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,
27Y vino por Espíritu al templo. Y cuando metieron al niño Jesús sus padres en el templo, para hacer por él conforme á la costumbre de la ley,
28Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
28Entonces él le tomó en sus brazos, y bendijo á Dios, y dijo:
29“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
29Ahora despides, Señor, á tu siervo, conforme á tu palabra, en paz;
30For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
30Porque han visto mis ojos tu salvación,
31which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
31La cual has aparejado en presencia de todos los pueblos;
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
32Luz para ser revelada á los Gentiles, y la gloria de tu pueblo Israel.
33The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
33Y José y su madre estaban maravillados de las cosas que se decían de él.
34Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,
34Y los bendijo Simeón, y dijo á su madre María: He aquí, éste es puesto para caída y para levantamiento de muchos en Israel; y para señal á la que será contradicho;
35so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
35Y una espada traspasará tu alma de ti misma, para que sean manifestados los pensamientos de muchos corazones.
36There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,
36Estaba también allí Ana, profetisa, hija de Phanuel, de la tribu de Aser; la cual había venido en grande edad, y había vivido con su marido siete años desde su virginidad;
37and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
37Y era viuda de hasta ochenta y cuatro años, que no se apartaba del templo, sirviendo de noche y de día con ayunos y oraciones.
38Coming forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
38Y ésta, sobreviniendo en la misma hora, juntamente confesaba al Señor, y hablaba de él á todos los que esperaban la redención en Jerusalem.
39When Jesus’ parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
39Mas como cumplieron todas las cosas según la ley del Señor, se volvieron á Galilea, á su ciudad de Nazaret.
40And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
40Y el niño crecía, y fortalecíase, y se henchía de sabiduría; y la gracia de Dios era sobre él.
41Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
41E iban sus padres todos los años á Jerusalem en la fiesta de la Pascua.
42And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.
42Y cuando fué de doce años, subieron ellos á Jerusalem conforme á la costumbre del día de la fiesta.
43When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed.
43Y acabados los días, volviendo ellos, se quedó el niño Jesús en Jerusalem, sin saberlo José y su madre.
44Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.
44Y pensando que estaba en la compañía, anduvieron camino de un día; y le buscaban entre los parientes y entre los conocidos:
45When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.
45Mas como no le hallasen, volvieron á Jerusalem buscándole.
46Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
46Y aconteció, que tres días después le hallaron en el templo, sentado en medio de los doctores, oyéndoles y preguntándoles.
47And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.
47Y todos los que le oían, se pasmaban de su entendimiento y de sus respuestas.
48When His parents saw Him, they were astonished. “Child, why have You done this to us?” His mother asked. “Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”
48Y cuando le vieron, se maravillaron; y díjole su madre: Hijo, ¿por qué nos has hecho así? He aquí, tu padre y yo te hemos buscado con dolor.
49“Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house ?”
49Entonces él les dice: ¿Qué hay? ¿por qué me buscabais? ¿No sabíais que en los negocios de mi Padre me conviene estar?
50But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.
50Mas ellos no entendieron las palabras que les habló.
51Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
51Y descendió con ellos, y vino á Nazaret, y estaba sujeto á ellos. Y su madre guardaba todas estas cosas en su corazón.
52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
52Y Jesús crecía en sabiduría, y en edad, y en gracia para con Dios y los hombres.
