Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
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。
2( And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
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。
3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
3眾人各歸各城，報名上冊。
4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
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，
5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
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。
6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
6他們在那裏的時候， 馬利亞 的產期到了，
7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
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。
8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
8在 伯利恆 之野地裏有牧羊的人，夜間按着更次看守羊群。
9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
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。
10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
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；
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
11因今天在 大衛 的城裏，為你們生了救主，就是主基督。
12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
12你們要看見一個嬰孩，包着布，臥在 馬 槽裏，那就是記號了。」
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
13忽然，有一大隊天兵同那天使讚美上帝說：
14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
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 ！
15And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
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。」
16And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
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；
17And when they had seen it , they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
17既然看見，就把天使論這孩子的話傳開了。
18And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
18凡聽見的，就詫異牧羊之人對他們所說的話。
19But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
19馬利亞 卻把這一切的事存在心裏，反覆思想。
20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
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。
21And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
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。
22And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
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，（
23(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
23正如主的律法上所記：「凡頭生的男子必稱聖歸主。」）
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.
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。
25And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
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。
26And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
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。
27And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
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。
28Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
28西面 就用手接過他來，稱頌上帝說：
29Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
29主啊！如今可以照你的話， 釋放僕人安然去世；
30For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
30因為我的眼睛已經看見你的救恩－
31Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
31就是你在萬民面前所預備的：
32A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
32是照亮外邦人的光， 又是你民 以色列 的榮耀。
33And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
33孩子的父母因這論耶穌的話就希奇。
34And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
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。」
35(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

36And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
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，
37And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
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。
38And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
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。
39And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
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。
40And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
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。
41Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
41每年到逾越節，他父母就上 耶路撒冷 去。
42And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
42當他十二歲的時候，他們按着節期的規矩上去。
43And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it .
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，
44But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
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，
45And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
45既找不着，就回 耶路撒冷 去找他。

47凡聽見他的，都希奇他的聰明和他的應對。
48And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
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！」
49And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
49耶穌說：「為甚麼找我呢？豈不知我應當以我父的事為念嗎 ？」
50And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
50他所說的這話，他們不明白。
51And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
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。
52And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
52耶穌的智慧和身量，並上帝和人喜愛他的心，都一齊增長。
