Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
耶穌基督降生
2 就在那些日子裡，凱撒奧古斯都頒布諭令，要普天下的人都登記戶口[a]。 2 這是頭一次戶口登記，在居里尼烏斯任敘利亞總督的時候進行的。 3 於是眾人都各回自己的城鎮去登記。
4 約瑟也從加利利的拿撒勒城上猶太去，到了那叫做伯利恆的大衛之城，因為他是大衛一家一族的人。 5 他和已經許配給他[b]、懷有身孕的瑪麗亞一起去登記。 6 他們在伯利恆的時候，瑪麗亞的產期到了， 7 就生了她的頭胎兒子。她用布把他包起來放在馬槽裡，因為客店裡沒有地方給他們。
牧羊人與天使們
8 當時在同一個地區，有些牧人露宿在野地裡，夜間守更看守羊群。 9 這時候，主的一位天使站在他們旁邊[c]，主的榮光四面照射他們，他們就大為驚恐。 10 那位天使對他們說：「不要怕！因為看哪，我傳給你們一個大喜的信息，是要給萬民的。 11 今天，在大衛的城裡，為你們誕生了一位救主，他就是主基督。 12 你們會看見一個嬰孩，用布包著，躺在馬槽裡；這就是給你們的標記。」
13 忽然有一大隊天軍出現，與那位天使一起讚美神，說：
14 「在至高之處，榮耀歸於神！
在地上，平安[d]臨到他所喜悅的人！」
15 天使們離開他們往天上去了，[e]牧人就彼此說：「來，我們到伯利恆去，看看這件已成就的事，就是主讓我們明白的事！」
16 於是他們急忙趕去，找到了瑪麗亞、約瑟和那躺在馬槽裡的嬰孩。 17 他們看見以後，就把天使告訴他們有關這孩子的話傳開了。 18 所有聽見的人，對那些牧人告訴他們的事，都感到驚奇。 19 瑪麗亞卻把這一切事存在心裡，反覆思想。 20 那些牧人因為所見所聞的一切正如天使向他們所說的，就榮耀、讚美神，於是回去了。
耶穌受割禮
21 滿了八天，為孩子行割禮的時候，他們就給他起名叫耶穌。這名字是他在母腹[f]成胎以前天使所起的。 22 按照摩西的律法，潔淨的日子滿了以後，約瑟和瑪麗亞領著孩子上耶路撒冷去，要把他獻給主。 23 正如主的律法上所記載的：「所有頭胎的男孩都將被稱為聖歸給主；」[g] 24 並按照主的律法上所說的，獻上了「一對斑鳩或兩隻雛鴿」[h]為祭物。
西面的頌讚
25 看哪，在耶路撒冷有一個名叫西面的人。這個人又公義又虔誠，一直期待著以色列得蒙安慰；聖靈也在他身上。 26 他得了聖靈的啟示：自己在經歷死亡[i]以前會看見主的基督。 27 他受了聖靈的感動，來到聖殿。這時候，耶穌的父母抱著孩子進來，要按照律法的規矩為他辦事。 28 西面把孩子抱在懷裡，頌讚神說：
29 「主啊，
現在可以照你的話，
讓你的奴僕平平安安地離去，
30 因為我的眼睛已經看見你的救恩，
31 就是你為萬民[j]所預備的：
32 他是啟示外邦人的光，
是你子民以色列的榮耀。」
33 他的父母[k]對這些關於孩子的話，感到驚奇。 34 西面祝福他們，並對孩子的母親瑪麗亞說：「看哪，這孩子註定要使以色列中許多人跌倒、許多人興起，並要成為一個遭受反對的標記[l]， 35 這樣，許多人的心思意念將被顯露出來；你自己的靈魂也要被劍刺透。」
安娜的見證
36 有一個女先知安娜，是亞設支派法努埃的女兒。她已經上了年紀，是出嫁以後與丈夫生活了七年的， 37 後來守寡了，現在已經[m]八十四歲。她從不離開聖殿，禁食祈禱，日夜事奉神。 38 就在這時候，她也上前來讚頌神[n]，向所有期待著耶路撒冷得救贖的人[o]講說這孩子的事。
返回拿撒勒
39 約瑟和瑪麗亞按照主的律法辦完了一切事以後，就返回加利利，到自己的城拿撒勒去了。 40 那孩子漸漸長大，剛強[p]起來，充滿智慧，並且有神的恩典在他身上。
耶穌在父家
41 每年逾越節，耶穌的父母都上耶路撒冷去。 42 當耶穌十二歲的時候，他們按照節日的規矩上去[q]。 43 守完了節期，他們回去的時候，孩童耶穌仍然留在耶路撒冷，他的父母[r]卻不知道， 44 以為他在同行的人群中。他們走了一天的路，才開始在親戚和熟人中找他。 45 他們找不到他，就回到耶路撒冷去找。 46 到了第三天，他們發現耶穌在聖殿裡，坐在教師們當中，一邊聽，一邊問。 47 所有聽他講說的人，都對他的悟性和對答十分驚訝。 48 他的父母看見他，感到吃驚，他的母親就對他說：「孩子啊，為什麼對我們這樣做呢？你看，你父親和我一直在焦急地找你呢！」
49 耶穌對他們說：「你們為什麼找我呢？難道不知道我必須在我父的家裡[s]嗎？」 50 可是他們沒有領悟他對他們說的話。
神與人的喜愛
51 於是耶穌與他們一起下去，回到拿撒勒，一直服從他們。他的母親把這一切事都珍藏在心裡。 52 耶穌的智慧和身量，以及神和人對他的喜愛[t]，都不斷增長。

耶穌降生伯利恆
2 那時，凱撒奧古斯都頒下諭旨，命羅馬帝國的人民都辦理戶口登記。 2 這是第一次戶口登記，正值居里紐任敘利亞總督。 3 大家都回到本鄉辦理戶口登記。 4 約瑟因為是大衛家族的人，就從加利利的拿撒勒鎮趕到猶太地區大衛的故鄉伯利恆， 5 要和已許配給他、懷著身孕的瑪麗亞一起登記。 6 他們抵達目的地時，瑪麗亞產期到了， 7 便生下第一胎，是個兒子。她用布把孩子裹好，安放在馬槽裡，因為旅店沒有房間了。
牧羊人和天使
8 當晚，伯利恆郊外有一群牧羊人正在看守羊群。 9 忽然，主的天使向他們顯現，主的榮光四面照著他們，他們非常害怕。 10 天使對他們說：「不要怕！我告訴你們一個有關萬民的大喜訊， 11 今天在大衛的城裡有一位救主為你們降生了，祂就是主基督！ 12 你們將看見一個嬰孩包著布躺在馬槽裡，這就是給你們的記號。」
13 忽然，有一大隊天軍出現，與那天使一同讚美上帝說：
14 「在至高之處，
願榮耀歸於上帝！
在地上，
願平安臨到祂所喜悅的人！」
15 眾天使離開他們升回天上之後，牧羊人便商議說：「我們現在去伯利恆，察看一下主剛才告訴我們的那件事吧！」 16 他們就連忙進城，找到了瑪麗亞和約瑟以及躺在馬槽裡的嬰孩。 17 他們看過之後，就把天使告訴他們有關這嬰孩的事傳開了。 18 聽見的人都對牧羊人的話感到驚訝。
19 但瑪麗亞把這些事牢記在心裡，反覆思想。 20 牧羊人在歸途中不斷地將榮耀歸於上帝，讚美祂，因為他們的所見所聞跟天使告訴他們的一樣。
奉獻聖嬰
21 在第八天，嬰孩接受了割禮，祂的名字叫耶穌，是瑪麗亞懷孕前天使取的。
22 摩西律法規定的潔淨期滿後，約瑟和瑪麗亞把嬰孩帶到耶路撒冷去獻給主， 23 因為主的律法規定：必須把長子分別出來獻給主。 24 他們又按照主的律法獻上祭物，即一對斑鳩或兩隻雛鴿。 25 耶路撒冷有一位公義敬虔、有聖靈同在的人名叫希緬，他一直期待著以色列的安慰者到來。 26 聖靈曾啟示他：他去世前必能親眼看見主所立的基督。
27 一天，他受聖靈感動進入聖殿，看見約瑟和瑪麗亞抱著嬰孩耶穌進來，要依照律法的規定為祂行奉獻禮， 28 就把祂抱過來，稱頌上帝說：
29 「主啊，現在你的話已經成就，
可以讓你的奴僕安然離世了，
30 因為我已親眼看到你的救恩，
31 就是你為萬民所預備的救恩。
32 這救恩是啟示外族人的光，
也是你以色列子民的榮耀。」
33 約瑟和瑪麗亞聽見這番話，感到驚奇。 34 希緬給他們祝福後，就對孩子的母親瑪麗亞說：「看啊，這孩子必使以色列許多人跌倒、許多人興起。祂將成為眾人攻擊的對象， 35 好叫許多人的心思意念暴露出來，你自己則會心如刀割。」
36-37 亞設支派中有一位八十四歲高齡的女先知名叫亞拿，是法內利的女兒，婚後七年便開始守寡，之後一直住在聖殿裡，禁食禱告，日夜事奉上帝。 38 正在那時，她也前來感謝上帝，並把耶穌的事報告給所有盼望耶路撒冷蒙救贖的人。
39 約瑟和瑪麗亞辦完了主的律法規定的一切事之後，就回到他們的家鄉——加利利的拿撒勒。 40 耶穌漸漸長大，身心強健，充滿智慧，上帝的恩典與祂同在。
少年耶穌聖殿論道
41 約瑟和瑪麗亞每年都上耶路撒冷去過逾越節。 42 耶穌十二歲那年，跟父母照例上去過節。 43 節期完了，約瑟和瑪麗亞便啟程回家，他們並不知道少年耶穌仍然留在耶路撒冷， 44 還以為祂跟在同行的人中間。他們走了一天的路後，才開始在親戚朋友中找祂， 45 結果沒有找到，只好回到耶路撒冷。 46 三天後，他們才在聖殿裡找到耶穌，祂正和教師們坐在一起，一邊聽一邊問問題。 47 祂的知識和對答令聽見的人感到驚奇。 48 約瑟和瑪麗亞看見耶穌在那裡，大為驚奇。
瑪麗亞對祂說：「兒子，你為什麼這樣對我們呢？你父親和我急得到處找你！」
49 耶穌對他們說：「你們為什麼找我呢？難道你們不知道我應該在我父的家嗎？」 50 但他們不明白祂在講什麼。
51 於是，耶穌隨父母回到拿撒勒，並順從他們。瑪麗亞把這一切事牢記在心。 52 耶穌漸漸長大，智慧與日俱增，越來越受上帝和人們的喜愛。

Jesus Is Born in Bethlehem
2 Now it happened that in those days a decree went out from (A)Caesar Augustus for a census to be taken of (B)all [a]the inhabited earth. 2 [b]This was the first census taken while [c]Quirinius was governor of (C)Syria. 3 And everyone was going to be registered for the census, each to his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because (D)he was of the house and family of David, 5 in order to register along with Mary, who was betrothed to him, and was with child. 6 Now it happened that while they were there, the days were fulfilled for her to give birth. 7 And she (E)gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a [d]manger, because there was no place for them in the [e]guest room.
8 In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And (F)an angel of the [f]Lord (G)stood before them, and the glory of the [g]Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. 10 But the angel said to them, “(H)Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people. 11 For today in the city of David there has been born for you a (I)Savior, who is [h](J)Christ (K)the Lord. 12 (L)And this will be the sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a [i]manger.” 13 And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
15 And it happened that when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 So they went in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the [k]manger. 17 And when they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child. 18 And all who heard it marveled at the things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary (O)was treasuring all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds went back, (P)glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as was told them.
Jesus Presented at the Temple
21 And when (Q)eight days were fulfilled so that they could circumcise Him, (R)His name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
22 (S)And when the days for their cleansing according to the Law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the [l]Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the [m]Lord, “(T)Every firstborn male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the [n]Lord”), 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what was said in the Law of the [o]Lord, “(U)A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was (V)righteous and devout, (W)waiting for the [p](X)comfort of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And (Y)it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not (Z)see death before he had seen the [q]Lord’s [r]Christ. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus [s](AA)to carry out for Him the custom of the Law, 28 then he took Him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
29 “Now Master, You are releasing Your slave in peace,
(AB)According to Your word.
30 For my eyes have (AC)seen Your salvation,
31 Which You prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32 (AD)A Light for revelation to the Gentiles,
And for the glory of Your people Israel.”
33 And His father and (AE)mother were marveling at the things which were being said about Him. 34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary (AF)His mother, “Behold, this Child is appointed for (AG)the fall and [t]rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed— 35 and a sword will pierce through your own soul as well—that the thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”
36 And there was a (AH)prophetess, [u]Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of (AI)the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in [v]years (AJ)having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, 37 and then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, serving night and day with (AK)fastings and prayers. 38 And at that very [w]moment she came up and began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak of Him to all those who were (AL)waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
The Return to Nazareth
39 And when they had finished everything according to the Law of the [x]Lord, they returned to Galilee, to (AM)their own city of Nazareth. 40 (AN)Now the Child continued to grow and become strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
The Boy Jesus in the Temple
41 And His parents would go to Jerusalem every year at (AO)the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He became twelve years old, they went up there according to the custom of the Feast; 43 and as they were returning, after finishing the (AP)days of the Feast, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But His parents did not know. 44 But supposing Him to be in the caravan, they went a day’s journey, and they began searching for Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 When they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem searching for Him. 46 And it happened that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him (AQ)were astounded at His understanding and His answers. 48 When they saw Him, they were astonished, and (AR)His mother said to Him, “Child, why have You treated us this way? Behold, (AS)Your father and I [y]have been anxiously searching for You.” 49 And He said to them, “Why is it that you were searching for Me? Did you not know that (AT)I had to be in My Father’s [z]house?” 50 But (AU)they did not understand the statement which He had spoken to them. 51 And He went down with them and came to (AV)Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them, and (AW)His mother (AX)was treasuring all these [aa]things in her heart.
52 And Jesus was advancing in wisdom and [ab]stature, and in (AY)favor with God and men.
