Cap. 2

The Gospel According to Saint Luke 2

ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐξῆλθεν δόγμα παρὰ καίσαρος αὐγούστου ἀπογράφεσθαι πᾶσαν τὴν οἰκουμένην. 1

Factum est autem in diebus illis, exiit edictum a Cæsare Augusto ut describeretur universus orbis. 1

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 1

αὕτη ἀπογραφὴ πρώτη ἐγένετο ἡγεμονεύοντος τῆς συρίας κυρηνίου. 2

Hæc descriptio prima facta est a præside Syriæ Cyrino: 2

(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 2

καὶ ἐπορεύοντο πάντες ἀπογράφεσθαι, ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ πόλιν. 3

et ibant omnes ut profiterentur singuli in suam civitatem. 3

And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 3

ἀνέβη δὲ καὶ ἰωσὴφ ἀπὸ τῆς γαλιλαίας ἐκ πόλεως ναζαρὲθ εἰς τὴν ἰουδαίαν εἰς πόλιν δαυὶδ ἥτις καλεῖται βηθλέεμ, διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐξ οἴκου καὶ πατριᾶς δαυίδ, 4

Ascendit autem et Joseph a Galilæa de civitate Nazareth in Judæam, in civitatem David, quæ vocatur Bethlehem: eo quod esset de domo et familia David, 4

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 4

ἀπογράψασθαι σὺν μαριὰμ τῇ ἐμνηστευμένῃ αὐτῶ, οὔσῃ ἐγκύῳ. 5

ut profiteretur cum Maria desponsata sibi uxore prægnante. 5

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 5

ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῶ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν, 6

Factum est autem, cum essent ibi, impleti sunt dies ut pareret. 6

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 6

καὶ ἔτεκεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν πρωτότοκον· καὶ ἐσπαργάνωσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀνέκλινεν αὐτὸν ἐν φάτνῃ, διότι οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς τόπος ἐν τῶ καταλύματι. 7

Et peperit filium suum primogenitum, et pannis eum involvit, et reclinavit eum in præsepio: quia non erat eis locus in diversorio. 7

And 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

καὶ ποιμένες ἦσαν ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ τῇ αὐτῇ ἀγραυλοῦντες καὶ φυλάσσοντες φυλακὰς τῆς νυκτὸς ἐπὶ τὴν ποίμνην αὐτῶν. 8

Et pastores erant in regione eadem vigilantes, et custodientes vigilias noctis super gregem suum. 8

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 8

καὶ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐπέστη αὐτοῖς καὶ δόξα κυρίου περιέλαμψεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν φόβον μέγαν. 9

Et ecce angelus Domini stetit juxta illos, et claritas Dei circumfulsit illos, et timuerunt timore magno. 9

And, 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

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ἄγγελος, μὴ φοβεῖσθε, ἰδοὺ γὰρ εὐαγγελίζομαι ὑμῖν χαρὰν μεγάλην ἥτις ἔσται παντὶ τῶ λαῶ, 10

Et dixit illis angelus: Nolite timere: ecce enim evangelizo vobis gaudium magnum, quod erit omni populo: 10

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 10

ὅτι ἐτέχθη ὑμῖν σήμερον σωτὴρ ὅς ἐστιν χριστὸς κύριος ἐν πόλει δαυίδ· 11

quia natus est vobis hodie Salvator, qui est Christus Dominus, in civitate David. 11

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 11

καὶ τοῦτο ὑμῖν τὸ σημεῖον, εὑρήσετε βρέφος ἐσπαργανωμένον καὶ κείμενον ἐν φάτνῃ. 12

Et hoc vobis signum: invenietis infantem pannis involutum, et positum in præsepio. 12

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 12

καὶ ἐξαίφνης ἐγένετο σὺν τῶ ἀγγέλῳ πλῆθος στρατιᾶς οὐρανίου αἰνούντων τὸν θεὸν καὶ λεγόντων, 13

Et subito facta est cum angelo multitudo militiæ cælestis laudantium Deum, et dicentium: 13

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 13

δόξα ἐν ὑψίστοις θεῶ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς εἰρήνη ἐν ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκίας. 14

Gloria in altissimis Deo,et in terra pax hominibus bonæ voluntatis. 14

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 14

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἀπῆλθον ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν οἱ ἄγγελοι, οἱ ποιμένες ἐλάλουν πρὸς ἀλλήλους, διέλθωμεν δὴ ἕως βηθλέεμ καὶ ἴδωμεν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο τὸ γεγονὸς ὃ ὁ κύριος ἐγνώρισεν ἡμῖν. 15

Et factum est, ut discesserunt ab eis angeli in cælum: pastores loquebantur ad invicem: Transeamus usque Bethlehem, et videamus hoc verbum, quod factum est, quod Dominus ostendit nobis. 15

And 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

καὶ ἦλθαν σπεύσαντες καὶ ἀνεῦραν τήν τε μαριὰμ καὶ τὸν ἰωσὴφ καὶ τὸ βρέφος κείμενον ἐν τῇ φάτνῃ· 16

Et venerunt festinantes: et invenerunt Mariam, et Joseph, et infantem positum in præsepio. 16

And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 16

ἰδόντες δὲ ἐγνώρισαν περὶ τοῦ ῥήματος τοῦ λαληθέντος αὐτοῖς περὶ τοῦ παιδίου τούτου. 17

Videntes autem cognoverunt de verbo, quod dictum erat illis de puero hoc. 17

And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 17

καὶ πάντες οἱ ἀκούσαντες ἐθαύμασαν περὶ τῶν λαληθέντων ὑπὸ τῶν ποιμένων πρὸς αὐτούς· 18

Et omnes qui audierunt, mirati sunt: et de his quæ dicta erant a pastoribus ad ipsos. 18

And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 18

ἡ δὲ μαριὰμ πάντα συνετήρει τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα συμβάλλουσα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς. 19

Maria autem conservabat omnia verba hæc, conferens in corde suo. 19

But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 19

καὶ ὑπέστρεψαν οἱ ποιμένες δοξάζοντες καὶ αἰνοῦντες τὸν θεὸν ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οἷς ἤκουσαν καὶ εἶδον καθὼς ἐλαλήθη πρὸς αὐτούς. 20

Et reversi sunt pastores glorificantes et laudantes Deum in omnibus quæ audierant et viderant, sicut dictum est ad illos. 20

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. 20

καὶ ὅτε ἐπλήσθησαν ἡμέραι ὀκτὼ τοῦ περιτεμεῖν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἰησοῦς, τὸ κληθὲν ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγγέλου πρὸ τοῦ συλλημφθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ. 21

Et postquam consummati sunt dies octo, ut circumcideretur puer, vocatum est nomen ejus Jesus, quod vocatum est ab angelo priusquam in utero conciperetur. 21

And 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

καὶ ὅτε ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸν νόμον μωϊσέως, ἀνήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα παραστῆσαι τῶ κυρίῳ, 22

Et postquam impleti sunt dies purgationis ejus secundum legem Moysi, tulerunt illum in Jerusalem, ut sisterent eum Domino, 22

And 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

καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν νόμῳ κυρίου ὅτι πᾶν ἄρσεν διανοῖγον μήτραν ἅγιον τῶ κυρίῳ κληθήσεται, 23

sicut scriptum est in lege Domini: Quia omne masculinum adaperiens vulvam, sanctum Domino vocabitur: 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

καὶ τοῦ δοῦναι θυσίαν κατὰ τὸ εἰρημένον ἐν τῶ νόμῳ κυρίου, ζεῦγος τρυγόνων ἢ δύο νοσσοὺς περιστερῶν. 24

et ut darent hostiam secundum quod dictum est in lege Domini, par turturum, aut duos pullos columbarum. 24

And 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

καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος ἦν ἐν ἰερουσαλὴμ ᾧ ὄνομα συμεών, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὖτος δίκαιος καὶ εὐλαβής, προσδεχόμενος παράκλησιν τοῦ ἰσραήλ, καὶ πνεῦμα ἦν ἅγιον ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν· 25

Et ecce homo erat in Jerusalem, cui nomen Simeon, et homo iste justus, et timoratus, exspectans consolationem Israël: et Spiritus Sanctus erat in eo. 25

And, 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

καὶ ἦν αὐτῶ κεχρηματισμένον ὑπὸ τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου μὴ ἰδεῖν θάνατον πρὶν <ἢ> ἂν ἴδῃ τὸν χριστὸν κυρίου. 26

Et responsum acceperat a Spiritu Sancto, non visurum se mortem, nisi prius videret Christum Domini. 26

And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 26

καὶ ἦλθεν ἐν τῶ πνεύματι εἰς τὸ ἱερόν· καὶ ἐν τῶ εἰσαγαγεῖν τοὺς γονεῖς τὸ παιδίον ἰησοῦν τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὸ εἰθισμένον τοῦ νόμου περὶ αὐτοῦ 27

Et venit in spiritu in templum. Et cum inducerent puerum Jesum parentes ejus, ut facerent secundum consuetudinem legis pro eo, 27

And 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

καὶ αὐτὸς ἐδέξατο αὐτὸ εἰς τὰς ἀγκάλας καὶ εὐλόγησεν τὸν θεὸν καὶ εἶπεν, 28

et ipse accepit eum in ulnas suas: et benedixit Deum, et dixit: 28

Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 28

νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου, δέσποτα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ· 29

Nunc dimittis servum tuum Domine,secundum verbum tuum in pace: 29

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: 29

ὅτι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τὸ σωτήριόν σου 30

quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum, 30

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 30

ὃ ἡτοίμασας κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν λαῶν, 31

quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum: 31

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 31

φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου ἰσραήλ. 32

lumen ad revelationem gentium,et gloriam plebis tuæ Israël. 32

A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 32

καὶ ἦν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ θαυμάζοντες ἐπὶ τοῖς λαλουμένοις περὶ αὐτοῦ. 33

Et erat pater ejus et mater mirantes super his quæ dicebantur de illo. 33

And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. 33

καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς συμεὼν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς μαριὰμ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, ἰδοὺ οὖτος κεῖται εἰς πτῶσιν καὶ ἀνάστασιν πολλῶν ἐν τῶ ἰσραὴλ καὶ εἰς σημεῖον ἀντιλεγόμενον 34

Et benedixit illis Simeon, et dixit ad Mariam matrem ejus: Ecce positus est hic in ruinam et in resurrectionem multorum in Israël, et in signum cui contradicetur: 34

And 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

καὶ σοῦ <δὲ> αὐτῆς τὴν ψυχὴν διελεύσεται ῥομφαία, ὅπως ἂν ἀποκαλυφθῶσιν ἐκ πολλῶν καρδιῶν διαλογισμοί. 35

et tuam ipsius animam pertransibit gladius ut revelentur ex multis cordibus cogitationes. 35

(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 35

καὶ ἦν ἅννα προφῆτις, θυγάτηρ φανουήλ, ἐκ φυλῆς ἀσήρ· αὕτη προβεβηκυῖα ἐν ἡμέραις πολλαῖς, ζήσασα μετὰ ἀνδρὸς ἔτη ἑπτὰ ἀπὸ τῆς παρθενίας αὐτῆς, 36

Et erat Anna prophetissa, filia Phanuel, de tribu Aser: hæc processerat in diebus multis, et vixerat cum viro suo annis septem a virginitate sua. 36

And 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

καὶ αὐτὴ χήρα ἕως ἐτῶν ὀγδοήκοντα τεσσάρων, ἣ οὐκ ἀφίστατο τοῦ ἱεροῦ νηστείαις καὶ δεήσεσιν λατρεύουσα νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν. 37

Et hæc vidua usque ad annos octoginta quatuor: quæ non discedebat de templo, jejuniis et obsecrationibus serviens nocte ac die. 37

And 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

καὶ αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐπιστᾶσα ἀνθωμολογεῖτο τῶ θεῶ καὶ ἐλάλει περὶ αὐτοῦ πᾶσιν τοῖς προσδεχομένοις λύτρωσιν ἰερουσαλήμ. 38

Et hæc, ipsa hora superveniens, confitebatur Domino: et loquebatur de illo omnibus, qui exspectabant redemptionem Israël. 38

And 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

καὶ ὡς ἐτέλεσαν πάντα τὰ κατὰ τὸν νόμον κυρίου, ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν εἰς πόλιν ἑαυτῶν ναζαρέθ. 39

Et ut perfecerunt omnia secundum legem Domini, reversi sunt in Galilæam in civitatem suam Nazareth. 39

And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 39

τὸ δὲ παιδίον ηὔξανεν καὶ ἐκραταιοῦτο πληρούμενον σοφίᾳ, καὶ χάρις θεοῦ ἦν ἐπ᾽ αὐτό. 40

Puer autem crescebat, et confortabatur plenus sapientia: et gratia Dei erat in illo. 40

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 40

καὶ ἐπορεύοντο οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ κατ᾽ ἔτος εἰς ἰερουσαλὴμ τῇ ἑορτῇ τοῦ πάσχα. 41

Et ibant parentes ejus per omnes annos in Jerusalem, in die solemni Paschæ. 41

Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 41

καὶ ὅτε ἐγένετο ἐτῶν δώδεκα, ἀναβαινόντων αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τῆς ἑορτῆς 42

Et cum factus esset annorum duodecim, ascendentibus illis Jerosolymam secundum consuetudinem diei festi, 42

And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 42

καὶ τελειωσάντων τὰς ἡμέρας, ἐν τῶ ὑποστρέφειν αὐτοὺς ὑπέμεινεν ἰησοῦς ὁ παῖς ἐν ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ. 43

consummatisque diebus, cum redirent, remansit puer Jesus in Jerusalem, et non cognoverunt parentes ejus. 43

And 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

νομίσαντες δὲ αὐτὸν εἶναι ἐν τῇ συνοδίᾳ ἦλθον ἡμέρας ὁδὸν καὶ ἀνεζήτουν αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς συγγενεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς γνωστοῖς, 44

Existimantes autem illum esse in comitatu, venerunt iter diei, et requirebant eum inter cognatos et notos. 44

But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 44

καὶ μὴ εὑρόντες ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς ἰερουσαλὴμ ἀναζητοῦντες αὐτόν. 45

Et non invenientes, regressi sunt in Jerusalem, requirentes eum. 45

And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 45

καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ἡμέρας τρεῖς εὖρον αὐτὸν ἐν τῶ ἱερῶ καθεζόμενον ἐν μέσῳ τῶν διδασκάλων καὶ ἀκούοντα αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπερωτῶντα αὐτούς· 46

Et factum est, post triduum invenerunt illum in templo sedentem in medio doctorum, audientem illos, et interrogantem eos. 46

And 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. 46

ἐξίσταντο δὲ πάντες οἱ ἀκούοντες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῇ συνέσει καὶ ταῖς ἀποκρίσεσιν αὐτοῦ. 47

Stupebant autem omnes qui eum audiebant, super prudentia et responsis ejus. 47

And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 47

καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐξεπλάγησαν, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ, τέκνον, τί ἐποίησας ἡμῖν οὕτως; ἰδοὺ ὁ πατήρ σου κἀγὼ ὀδυνώμενοι ἐζητοῦμέν σε. 48

Et videntes admirati sunt. Et dixit mater ejus ad illum: Fili, quid fecisti nobis sic? ecce pater tuus et ego dolentes quærebamus te. 48

And 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

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, τί ὅτι ἐζητεῖτέ με; οὐκ ᾔδειτε ὅτι ἐν τοῖς τοῦ πατρός μου δεῖ εἶναί με; 49

Et ait ad illos: Quid est quod me quærebatis? nesciebatis quia in his quæ Patris mei sunt, oportet me esse? 49

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? 49

καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐ συνῆκαν τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς. 50

Et ipsi non intellexerunt verbum quod locutus est ad eos. 50

And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 50

καὶ κατέβη μετ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς ναζαρέθ, καὶ ἦν ὑποτασσόμενος αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ διετήρει πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς. 51

Et descendit cum eis, et venit Nazareth: et erat subditus illis. Et mater ejus conservabat omnia verba hæc in corde suo. 51

And 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

καὶ ἰησοῦς προέκοπτεν <ἐν τῇ> σοφίᾳ καὶ ἡλικίᾳ καὶ χάριτι παρὰ θεῶ καὶ ἀνθρώποις. 52

Et Jesus proficiebat sapientia, et ætate, et gratia apud Deum et homines. 52

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. 52
