1Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.
1Y ACONTECIÓ en aquellos días que salió edicto de parte de Augusto César, que toda la tierra fuese empadronada.
2This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
2Este empadronamiento primero fué hecho siendo Cirenio gobernador de la Siria.
3All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
3E iban todos para ser empadronados, cada uno á su ciudad.
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,
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;
5to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant.
5Para ser empadronado con María su mujer, desposada con él, la cual estaba en cinta.
6While they were there, the day had come for her to give birth.
6Y aconteció que estando ellos allí, se cumplieron los días en que ella había de parir.
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.
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.
8There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
8Y había pastores en la misma tierra, que velaban y guardaban las vigilias de la noche sobre su ganado.
9Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by 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.
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.
10Mas el ángel les dijo: No temáis; porque he aquí os doy nuevas de gran gozo, que será para todo el pueblo:
11For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
11Que os ha nacido hoy, en la ciudad de David, un Salvador, que es CRISTO el Señor.
12This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”
12Y esto os será por señal: hallaréis al niño envuelto en pañales, echado en un pesebre.
13Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army 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, on earth peace, good will toward men.”
14Gloria en las alturas á Dios, y en la tierra paz, buena voluntad para con los hombres.
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.”
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.
16They came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough.
16Y vinieron apriesa, y hallaron á María, y á José, y al niño acostado en el pesebre.
17When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
17Y viéndolo, hicieron notorio lo que les había sido dicho del niño.
18All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
18Y todos los que oyeron, se maravillaron de lo que los pastores les decían.
19But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
19Mas María guardaba todas estas cosas, confiriéndolas en su corazón.
20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was 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 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.
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.
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
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 male who opens the womb shall be called holy 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 a sacrifice according to that which is said 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.
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.
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.
26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should 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.
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,
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,
28then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
28Entonces él le tomó en sus brazos, y bendijo á Dios, y dijo:
29“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, 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 before the face of all peoples;
31La cual has aparejado en presencia de todos los pueblos;
32a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
32Luz para ser revelada á los Gentiles, y la gloria de tu pueblo Israel.
33Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
33Y José y su madre estaban maravillados de las cosas que se decían de él.
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.
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;
35Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
35Y una espada traspasará tu alma de ti misma, para que sean manifestados los pensamientos de muchos corazones.
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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
39Mas como cumplieron todas las cosas según la ley del Señor, se volvieron á Galilea, á su ciudad de Nazaret.
40The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being 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.
41His parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover.
41E iban sus padres todos los años á Jerusalem en la fiesta de la Pascua.
42When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem 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.
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,
43Y acabados los días, volviendo ellos, se quedó el niño Jesús en Jerusalem, sin saberlo José y su madre.
44but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances.
44Y pensando que estaba en la compañía, anduvieron camino de un día; y le buscaban entre los parientes y entre los conocidos:
45When they didn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for him.
45Mas como no le hallasen, volvieron á Jerusalem buscándole.
46After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both 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.
47All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
47Y todos los que le oían, se pasmaban de su entendimiento y de sus respuestas.
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.”
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.
49He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must 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?
50They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.
50Mas ellos no entendieron las palabras que les habló.
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.
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 increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
52Y Jesús crecía en sabiduría, y en edad, y en gracia para con Dios y los hombres.
