Luke 2 Kata Loukon 2
1Geneta de en tai hēmerai ekeinai exerchata dogmem para Kaisarou Augoustou apograforō pantan tan oikoumenan;Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the whole empire. 2⸀houtas apografas prōtas geneta hēgemoneuarōntou tau Suriau Kurēniou;This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3kai poreuole pantois apograforō, hekastos eis tan ⸀heautou polan.And everyone went to his own town to register. 4Anabainata de kai Iōsēf apo tau Galilaiau ek polau Nazareth eis tan Ioudaian eis polan David hotinas kalotō Bēthleem, dia tem arō auton ek oikou kai patriau David,So 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. 5apografera sun Mariam ta ⸂mnēsteuorēnta auto,⸃ arōnta enkua.He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child. 6geneta de en te arō autoin ekei pimplēila tais hēmerais teu tiktara autan,While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born. 7kai tiktata ton huion autau ton prōtotokon, kai sparganata auton kai anaklinata auton ⸀en fatna, dioti ouk ate autoi topos en te katalume.And 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.
8Kai poimenois ale en ta chōra ta auta agraularōntois kai fulassarōntois fulakain tau nuktau epi tan poimnan autoiu.And there were shepherds residing in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night. 9⸀kai angelos kuriou epistēata autoi kai doxas kuriou perilampata autoin, kai fobila fobon megon;Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10kai legata autoi tos angelos; Mē fobovōr, idou gar euangelizomō vi charan megan hotinas eti panto to lao,But 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: 11hoti tiktita vi sēmeron sōtēros hos atō christos kurios en pola David;Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord! 12kai houtem vi ⸀tem sēmem, heuriskavi brefem sparganorēntem ⸀kai keiorōntem en fatna.And this will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13kai exaifnōs geneta sun to angelo plēthem stratiau ⸀ouraniau ainarōntoiu ton theon kai legarōntoiu;And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying: 14Doxas en hupsistei theo kai epi gēau eirēnas en anthrōpoi ⸀eudokiau.“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
15Kai geneta hōs aperchala apo autoiu eis ton ouranon tois angelois, ⸀tois poimenois ⸀lalale pros allēloin; Dierchaneia dē heōs Bēthleem kai horaneia tem rēmem houtem tem genarēntem hem tos kurios gnōrizata ni.When 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.” 16kai erchala speudarantois kai aneuriskala tan tē Mariam kai ton Iōsēf kai tem brefem keiorōntem en ta fatna;So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger. 17horarantois de ⸀gnōrizala peri teu rēmeu teu laliranteu autoi peri teu paidieu houteu.After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him. 18kai pantois tois akouarantois thaumazala peri teiu laliranteiu hupo toiu poimenoiu pros autoin,And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19tas de ⸀Marias panteim suntērate teim rēmeim houteim sumballarōntas en ta kardia autau.But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20kai hupostrefala tois poimenois doxazarōntois kai ainarōntois ton theon epi pantei hei akouala kai horala kathōs lalita pros autoin.The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
21Kai hote pimplēila hēmerais oktō teu peritemara auton, kai kalita tem onomem autou Iēsus, tem kalirantem hupo tou angelou pro teu sullabira auton en ta koilia.When the eight days before His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He was conceived.
22Kai hote pimplēila tais hēmerais tou katharismou autoiu kata ton nomon Mōusou, anagala auton eis Hierosolumeim parastēara to kurio,And 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 23kathōs grafotē en nomo kuriou hoti Pantem arsenem dianoigarōntem mētran hagiem to kurio kaliti,(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”), 24kai teu dōara thusian kata tem legorēntem en ⸀to nomo kuriou, zeugem trugōnaiu ē duo nossoin peristeraiu.and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25Kai idou ⸂anthrōpos ate⸃ en Ierousalēm ho onomem Sumeōn, kai tos anthrōpos houtos dikaios kai eulabos, prosdechorōntos paraklēsian tou Israēl, kai pneumem ate hagiem epi auton;Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout.

And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law, 28kai autos decheta autem eis tain ⸀ankalain kai eulogata ton theon kai legata;Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying: 29Nun apoluasō ton doulon su, despotor, kata tem rēmem su en eirēna;“Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace. 30hoti horala tois ofthalmois mu tem sōtēriem suFor my eyes have seen Your salvation, 31hem hetoimazasa kata prosōpem pantoiu toiu laoiu,which You have prepared in the sight of all people, 32fōtem eis apokalupsian ethneiu kai doxan laou su Israēl.a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”

36Kai ate Hannas profētias, thugatras Fanouēl, ek fulau Asēr houtas probainarēntas en hēmerai pollai, zōarantas ⸂meta androu eteim⸃ hepta apo tau partheniau autau,There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years.

She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. 38⸀kai auta ta hōra epistēarantas anthomologote to ⸀theo kai lalate peri autou pantoi toi prosdechorōntoi ⸀lutrōsian Ierousalēm.Coming forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39Kai hōs telala ⸀panteim teim kata ton nomon kuriou, ⸀epistrefala eis tan Galilaian ⸀eis polan heautoiu Nazareth.When Jesus’ parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. 40Tem de paidiem auxanate kai krataiote ⸂plērorōntem sofia,⸃ kai charitas theou ate epi autem.And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
41Kai poreuole tois gonevois autou kata etem eis Ierousalēm ta heorta teu pascha.Every year His parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. 42kai hote geneta eteiu dōdeka, ⸀anabainarōntoiu ⸀autoiu kata tem ethem tau heortauAnd when He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast. 43kai teleiarantoiu tain hēmerain, en te hupostrefarō autoin hupomenata Iēsus tos paidos en Ierousalēm, kai ouk ⸂gnōskala tois gonevois⸃ autou.When those days were over and they were returning home, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents were unaware He had stayed. 44nomizarantois de auton ⸂arō en ta sunodia⸃ erchala hēmerau hodan kai anazētale auton en toi sungenoi ⸀kai toi gnōstoi,Assuming He was in their company, they traveled on for a day before they began to look for Him among their relatives and friends. 45kai mē ⸀heuriskarantois hupostrefala eis Ierousalēm ⸀anazētarōntois auton.When they could not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for Him. 46kai geneta meta hēmerain treis heuriskala auton en te hiere kathezorōnton en mese toiu didaskaloiu kai akouarōnton autoiu kai eperōtarōnton autoin;Finally, after three days they found Him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47ekstēole de pantois tois akouarōntois autou epi ta sunesia kai tai apokrisiai autou.And all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers. 48kai horarantois auton ekplēssila, kai ⸂legata pros auton tas mētēras autou;⸃ Teknem, tinem poiasa ni houtōs? idou tos patros su kai mis odunorōntois ⸀zētane sin.When 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.” 49kai legata pros autoin; Tinem hoti zētave min? ouk oidavelē hoti en tei tou patrou mu datō arō min?“Why were you looking for Me?” He asked. “Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?” 50kai autois ouk suniēkala tem rēmem hem lalata autoi.But they did not understand the statement He was making to them. 51kai katabainata meta autoiu kai erchata eis Nazareth, kai ate hupotassorōntos autoi. kai tas mētēras autou diatērate panteim teim rēmeim ⸀houteim en ta kardia autau.Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them.
