路加福音 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English 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 all the world should be enrolled.
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 enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
3眾人各歸各城，報名上冊。
3All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
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，
4Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family 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。
5to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
6他們在那裏的時候， 馬利亞 的產期到了，
6While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
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。
7She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in bands of cloth and laid him in a feeding trough, 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。
8There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
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。
9Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by 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；
10The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to 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。
11For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who 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。」
12This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
13忽然，有一大隊天兵同那天使讚美上帝說：
13Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army 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, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
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 went away from them into the sky, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, 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；
16They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
17既然看見，就把天使論這孩子的話傳開了。
17When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
18凡聽見的，就詫異牧羊之人對他們所說的話。
18All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
19馬利亞 卻把這一切的事存在心裏，反覆思想。
19But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering 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 the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was 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 eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
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，（
22When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up 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 male who opens the womb shall be called holy 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 a sacrifice according to that which is said 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。
25Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on 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。
26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should 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。
27He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
28西面 就用手接過他來，稱頌上帝說：
28then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
29主啊！如今可以照你的話， 釋放僕人安然去世；
29“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, 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 before the face of all peoples;
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 nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
33孩子的父母因這論耶穌的話就希奇。
33Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning 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。」
34Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.

35Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
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 one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
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 she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
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 up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in 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 they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, 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。
40The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being 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。
41His parents went every year to Jerusalem at 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。
42When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem 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，
43and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it,
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，
44but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
45既找不着，就回 耶路撒冷 去找他。
45When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking 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。
46After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both 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。
47All who heard him were amazed 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 they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking 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 ？」
49He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
50他所說的這話，他們不明白。
50They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke 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。
51And he went down with them and came to Nazareth. He was subject to them, and his mother kept all these sayings 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 increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
