Lúkasarguðspjall 2:22-40
Icelandic Bible
22 En er hreinsunardagar þeirra voru úti eftir lögmáli Móse, fóru þau með hann upp til Jerúsalem til að færa hann Drottni, _
23 en svo er ritað í lögmáli Drottins: "Allt karlkyns, er fyrst fæðist af móðurlífi, skal helgað Drottni," _
24 og til að færa fórn eins og segir í lögmáli Drottins, "tvær turtildúfur eða tvær ungar dúfur."
25 Þá var í Jerúsalem maður, er Símeon hét. Hann var réttlátur og guðrækinn og vænti huggunar Ísraels, og yfir honum var heilagur andi.
26 Honum hafði heilagur andi vitrað, að hann skyldi ekki dauðann sjá, fyrr en hann hefði séð Krist Drottins.
27 Hann kom að tillaðan andans í helgidóminn. Og er foreldrarnir færðu þangað sveininn Jesú til að fara með hann eftir venju lögmálsins,
28 tók Símeon hann í fangið, lofaði Guð og sagði:
29 "Nú lætur þú, Drottinn, þjón þinn í friði fara, eins og þú hefur heitið mér,
30 því að augu mín hafa séð hjálpræði þitt,
31 sem þú hefur fyrirbúið í augsýn allra lýða,
32 ljós til opinberunar heiðingjum og til vegsemdar lýð þínum Ísrael."
33 Faðir hans og móðir undruðust það, er sagt var um hann.
34 En Símeon blessaði þau og sagði við Maríu móður hans: "Þessi sveinn er settur til falls og til viðreisnar mörgum í Ísrael og til tákns, sem móti verður mælt,
35 og sjálf munt þú sverði níst í sálu þinni. Þannig munu hugsanir margra hjartna verða augljósar."
36 Og þar var Anna spákona Fanúelsdóttir af ætt Assers, kona háöldruð. Hafði hún lifað sjö ár með manni sínum frá því hún var mær
37 og síðan verið ekkja fram á áttatíu og fjögra ára aldur. Hún vék eigi úr helgidóminum, en þjónaði Guði nótt og dag með föstum og bænahaldi.
38 Hún kom að á sömu stundu og lofaði Guð. Og hún talaði um barnið við alla, sem væntu lausnar Jerúsalem.
39 Og er þau höfðu lokið öllu eftir lögmáli Drottins, sneru þau aftur til Galíleu, til borgar sinnar Nasaret.
40 En sveinninn óx og styrktist, fylltur visku, og náð Guðs var yfir honum.

Jesus Presented in the Temple
22 When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses,(A) Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”[a]),(B) 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”[b](C)
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout.(D) He was waiting for the consolation of Israel,(E) and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required,(F) 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,(G)
you may now dismiss[c] your servant in peace.(H)
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,(I)
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and the glory of your people Israel.”(J)
33 The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother:(K) “This child is destined to cause the falling(L) and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”
36 There was also a prophet,(M) Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four.[d](N) She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.(O) 38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.(P)
39 When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.(Q) 40 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.(R)
