Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
1εγενετο δε εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ εξηλθεν δογμα παρα καισαροσ αυγουστου απογραφεσθαι πασαν την οικουμενην
2( And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
2αυτη η απογραφη πρωτη εγενετο ηγεμονευοντοσ τησ συριασ κυρηνιου
3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
3και επορευοντο παντεσ απογραφεσθαι εκαστοσ εισ την ιδιαν πολιν
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:)
4ανεβη δε και ιωσηφ απο τησ γαλιλαιασ εκ πολεωσ ναζαρετ εισ την ιουδαιαν εισ πολιν δαυιδ ητισ καλειται βηθλεεμ δια το ειναι αυτον εξ οικου και πατριασ δαυιδ
5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
5απογραψασθαι συν μαριαμ τη μεμνηστευμενη αυτω γυναικι ουση εγκυω
6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
6εγενετο δε εν τω ειναι αυτουσ εκει επλησθησαν αι ημεραι του τεκειν αυτην
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.
7και ετεκεν τον υιον αυτησ τον πρωτοτοκον και εσπαργανωσεν αυτον και ανεκλινεν αυτον εν τη φατνη διοτι ουκ ην αυτοισ τοποσ εν τω καταλυματι
8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
8και ποιμενεσ ησαν εν τη χωρα τη αυτη αγραυλουντεσ και φυλασσοντεσ φυλακασ τησ νυκτοσ επι την ποιμνην αυτων
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.
9και ιδου αγγελοσ κυριου επεστη αυτοισ και δοξα κυριου περιελαμψεν αυτουσ και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν
10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
10και ειπεν αυτοισ ο αγγελοσ μη φοβεισθε ιδου γαρ ευαγγελιζομαι υμιν χαραν μεγαλην ητισ εσται παντι τω λαω
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
11οτι ετεχθη υμιν σημερον σωτηρ οσ εστιν χριστοσ κυριοσ εν πολει δαυιδ
12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
12και τουτο υμιν το σημειον ευρησετε βρεφοσ εσπαργανωμενον κειμενον εν φατνη
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
13και εξαιφνησ εγενετο συν τω αγγελω πληθοσ στρατιασ ουρανιου αινουντων τον θεον και λεγοντων
14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
14δοξα εν υψιστοισ θεω και επι γησ ειρηνη εν ανθρωποισ ευδοκια
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.
15και εγενετο ωσ απηλθον απ αυτων εισ τον ουρανον οι αγγελοι και οι ανθρωποι οι ποιμενεσ ειπον προσ αλληλουσ διελθωμεν δη εωσ βηθλεεμ και ιδωμεν το ρημα τουτο το γεγονοσ ο ο κυριοσ εγνωρισεν ημιν
16And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
16και ηλθον σπευσαντεσ και ανευρον την τε μαριαμ και τον ιωσηφ και το βρεφοσ κειμενον εν τη φατνη
17And when they had seen it , they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
17ιδοντεσ δε διεγνωρισαν περι του ρηματοσ του λαληθεντοσ αυτοισ περι του παιδιου τουτου
18And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
18και παντεσ οι ακουσαντεσ εθαυμασαν περι των λαληθεντων υπο των ποιμενων προσ αυτουσ
19But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
19η δε μαριαμ παντα συνετηρει τα ρηματα ταυτα συμβαλλουσα εν τη καρδια αυτησ
20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
20και υπεστρεψαν οι ποιμενεσ δοξαζοντεσ και αινουντεσ τον θεον επι πασιν οισ ηκουσαν και ειδον καθωσ ελαληθη προσ αυτουσ
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.
21και οτε επλησθησαν ημεραι οκτω του περιτεμειν αυτον και εκληθη το ονομα αυτου ιησουσ το κληθεν υπο του αγγελου προ του συλληφθηναι αυτον εν τη κοιλια
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;
22και οτε επλησθησαν αι ημεραι του καθαρισμου αυτων κατα τον νομον μωσεωσ ανηγαγον αυτον εισ ιεροσολυμα παραστησαι τω κυριω
23(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
23καθωσ γεγραπται εν νομω κυριου οτι παν αρσεν διανοιγον μητραν αγιον τω κυριω κληθησεται
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.
24και του δουναι θυσιαν κατα το ειρημενον εν νομω κυριου ζευγοσ τρυγονων η δυο νεοσσουσ περιστερων
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.
25και ιδου ην ανθρωποσ εν ιερουσαλημ ω ονομα συμεων και ο ανθρωποσ ουτοσ δικαιοσ και ευλαβησ προσδεχομενοσ παρακλησιν του ισραηλ και πνευμα ην αγιον επ αυτον
26And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
26και ην αυτω κεχρηματισμενον υπο του πνευματοσ του αγιου μη ιδειν θανατον πριν η ιδη τον χριστον κυριου
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,
27και ηλθεν εν τω πνευματι εισ το ιερον και εν τω εισαγαγειν τουσ γονεισ το παιδιον ιησουν του ποιησαι αυτουσ κατα το ειθισμενον του νομου περι αυτου
28Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
28και αυτοσ εδεξατο αυτο εισ τασ αγκαλασ αυτου και ευλογησεν τον θεον και ειπεν
29Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
29νυν απολυεισ τον δουλον σου δεσποτα κατα το ρημα σου εν ειρηνη
30For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
30οτι ειδον οι οφθαλμοι μου το σωτηριον σου
31Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
31ο ητοιμασασ κατα προσωπον παντων των λαων
32A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
32φωσ εισ αποκαλυψιν εθνων και δοξαν λαου σου ισραηλ
33And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
33και ην ιωσηφ και η μητηρ αυτου θαυμαζοντεσ επι τοισ λαλουμενοισ περι αυτου
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;
34και ευλογησεν αυτουσ συμεων και ειπεν προσ μαριαμ την μητερα αυτου ιδου ουτοσ κειται εισ πτωσιν και αναστασιν πολλων εν τω ισραηλ και εισ σημειον αντιλεγομενον
35(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
35και σου δε αυτησ την ψυχην διελευσεται ρομφαια οπωσ αν αποκαλυφθωσιν εκ πολλων καρδιων διαλογισμοι
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;
36και ην αννα προφητισ θυγατηρ φανουηλ εκ φυλησ ασηρ αυτη προβεβηκυια εν ημεραισ πολλαισ ζησασα ετη μετα ανδροσ επτα απο τησ παρθενιασ αυτησ
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.
37και αυτη χηρα ωσ ετων ογδοηκοντα τεσσαρων η ουκ αφιστατο απο του ιερου νηστειαισ και δεησεσιν λατρευουσα νυκτα και ημεραν
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.
38και αυτη αυτη τη ωρα επιστασα ανθωμολογειτο τω κυριω και ελαλει περι αυτου πασιν τοισ προσδεχομενοισ λυτρωσιν εν ιερουσαλημ
39And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
39και ωσ ετελεσαν απαντα τα κατα τον νομον κυριου υπεστρεψαν εισ την γαλιλαιαν εισ την πολιν εαυτων ναζαρετ
40And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
40το δε παιδιον ηυξανεν και εκραταιουτο πνευματι πληρουμενον σοφιασ και χαρισ θεου ην επ αυτο
41Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
41και επορευοντο οι γονεισ αυτου κατ ετοσ εισ ιερουσαλημ τη εορτη του πασχα
42And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
42και οτε εγενετο ετων δωδεκα αναβαντων αυτων εισ ιεροσολυμα κατα το εθοσ τησ εορτησ
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 .
43και τελειωσαντων τασ ημερασ εν τω υποστρεφειν αυτουσ υπεμεινεν ιησουσ ο παισ εν ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εγνω ιωσηφ και η μητηρ αυτου
44But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
44νομισαντεσ δε αυτον εν τη συνοδια ειναι ηλθον ημερασ οδον και ανεζητουν αυτον εν τοισ συγγενεσιν και εν τοισ γνωστοισ
45And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
45και μη ευροντεσ αυτον υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ ζητουντεσ αυτον
46And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
46και εγενετο μεθ ημερασ τρεισ ευρον αυτον εν τω ιερω καθεζομενον εν μεσω των διδασκαλων και ακουοντα αυτων και επερωτωντα αυτουσ
47And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
47εξισταντο δε παντεσ οι ακουοντεσ αυτου επι τη συνεσει και ταισ αποκρισεσιν αυτου
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.
48και ιδοντεσ αυτον εξεπλαγησαν και προσ αυτον η μητηρ αυτου ειπεν τεκνον τι εποιησασ ημιν ουτωσ ιδου ο πατηρ σου καγω οδυνωμενοι εζητουμεν σε
49And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
49και ειπεν προσ αυτουσ τι οτι εζητειτε με ουκ ηδειτε οτι εν τοισ του πατροσ μου δει ειναι με
50And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
50και αυτοι ου συνηκαν το ρημα ο ελαλησεν αυτοισ
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.
51και κατεβη μετ αυτων και ηλθεν εισ ναζαρετ και ην υποτασσομενοσ αυτοισ και η μητηρ αυτου διετηρει παντα τα ρηματα ταυτα εν τη καρδια αυτησ
52And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
52και ιησουσ προεκοπτεν σοφια και ηλικια και χαριτι παρα θεω και ανθρωποισ
