路加福音 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1當那些日子，凱撒 奧古斯都 有旨意下來，叫天下人民都報名上冊。
1Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire.
2這是 居里扭 作 敘利亞 巡撫的時候，頭一次行報名上冊的事。
2This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3眾人各歸各城，報名上冊。
3And everyone went to his own town to register.
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 一族一家的人，
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.
5要和他所聘之妻 馬利亞 一同報名上冊。那時 馬利亞 的身孕已經重了。
5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.
6他們在那裏的時候， 馬利亞 的產期到了，
6While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born.
7就生了頭胎的兒子，用布包起來，放在馬槽裏，因為客店裏沒有地方。
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.
8在 伯利恆 之野地裏有牧羊的人，夜間按着更次看守羊群。
8And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
9有主的使者站在他們旁邊，主的榮光四面照着他們；牧羊的人就甚懼怕。
9Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10那天使對他們說：「不要懼怕！我報給你們大喜的信息，是關乎萬民的；
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:
11因今天在 大衛 的城裏，為你們生了救主，就是主基督。
11Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!
12你們要看見一個嬰孩，包着布，臥在 馬 槽裏，那就是記號了。」
12And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
13忽然，有一大隊天兵同那天使讚美上帝說：
13And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:
14在至高之處榮耀歸與上帝！ 在地上平安歸與他所喜悅的人 ！
14“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
15眾天使離開他們，升天去了。牧羊的人彼此說：「我們往 伯利恆 去，看看所成的事，就是主所指示我們的。」
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.”
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；
16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger.
17既然看見，就把天使論這孩子的話傳開了。
17After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.
18凡聽見的，就詫異牧羊之人對他們所說的話。
18And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
19馬利亞 卻把這一切的事存在心裏，反覆思想。
19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
20牧羊的人回去了，因所聽見所看見的一切事，正如 天使 向他們所說的，就歸榮耀與上帝，讚美他。
20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
21滿了八天，就給孩子行割禮，與他起名叫耶穌；這就是沒有成胎以前，天使所起的名。
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.
22按 摩西 律法滿了潔淨的日子，他們帶着孩子上 耶路撒冷 去，要把他獻與主，（
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
23正如主的律法上所記：「凡頭生的男子必稱聖歸主。」）
23(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),
24又要照主的律法上所說，或用一對斑鳩，或用兩隻雛鴿獻祭。
24and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25在 耶路撒冷 有一個人，名叫 西面 ；這人又公義又虔誠，素常盼望 以色列 的安慰 者 來到，又有聖靈在他身上。
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.
26他得了聖靈的啟示，知道自己未死以前，必看見主所立的基督。
26The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27他受了 聖 靈的感動，進入聖殿，正遇見耶穌的父母抱着孩子進來，要照律法的規矩辦理。
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,
28西面 就用手接過他來，稱頌上帝說：
28Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
29主啊！如今可以照你的話， 釋放僕人安然去世；
29“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
30因為我的眼睛已經看見你的救恩－
30For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
31就是你在萬民面前所預備的：
31which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
32是照亮外邦人的光， 又是你民 以色列 的榮耀。
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
33孩子的父母因這論耶穌的話就希奇。
33The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
34西面 給他們祝福，又對孩子的母親 馬利亞 說：「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，叫許多人心裏的意念顯露出來；你自己的心也要被刀刺透。」
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,
no verse 35 in this text
35so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”
36又有女先知，名叫 亞拿 ，是 亞設 支派 法內力 的女兒，年紀已經老邁，從作童女出嫁的時候，同丈夫住了七年就寡居了，
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,
37現在已經八十四歲，並不離開聖殿，禁食祈求，晝夜事奉上帝。
37and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
38正當那時，她進前來稱謝上帝，將孩子的事對一切盼望 耶路撒冷 得救贖的人講說。
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.
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。
39When Jesus’ parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
40孩子漸漸長大，強健起來，充滿智慧，又有上帝的恩在他身上。
40And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
41每年到逾越節，他父母就上 耶路撒冷 去。
41Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
42當他十二歲的時候，他們按着節期的規矩上去。
42And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast.
43守滿了節期，他們回去，孩童耶穌仍舊在 耶路撒冷 。他的父母並不知道，
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.
44以為他在同行的人中間，走了一天的路程，就在親族和熟識的人中找他，
44Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends.
45既找不着，就回 耶路撒冷 去找他。
45When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him.
46過了三天，就遇見他在殿裏，坐在教師中間，一面聽，一面問。
46Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47凡聽見他的，都希奇他的聰明和他的應對。
47And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers.
48他父母看見就很希奇。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！」
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.”
49耶穌說：「為甚麼找我呢？豈不知我應當以我父的事為念嗎 ？」
49“Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house ?”
50他所說的這話，他們不明白。
50But they did not understand the statement He was making to them.
51他就同他們下去，回到 拿撒勒 ，並且順從他們。他母親把這一切的事都存在心裏。
51Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
52耶穌的智慧和身量，並上帝和人喜愛他的心，都一齊增長。
52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
