路加福音 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶穌基督降生（參(A)
2 那時，有諭旨從凱撒奧古士督頒發下來，叫普天下的人登記戶口。 2 這是第一次戶口登記，是在居里紐作敘利亞總督的時候舉行的。 3 眾人各歸各城去登記戶口。 4 約瑟本是大衛家族的人，也從加利利的拿撒勒上猶太去，到了大衛的城伯利恆， 5 與所聘之妻馬利亞一同登記戶口。那時馬利亞的身孕已經重了。 6 他們在那裡的時候，馬利亞的產期到了， 7 生了頭胎兒子，用布包著，放在馬槽裡，因為客店裡沒有地方。
天使向牧羊人報喜信
8 在伯利恆的郊外，有一些牧人在夜間看守羊群。 9 主的一位使者站在他們旁邊，主的榮光四面照著他們，他們就非常害怕。 10 天使說：“不要怕！看哪！我報給你們大喜的信息，是關於萬民的： 11 今天在大衛的城裡，為你們生了救主，就是主基督。 12 你們要找到一個嬰孩，包著布，臥在馬槽裡，那就是記號了。” 13 忽然有一大隊天兵，同那天使一起讚美 神說：
14 “在至高之處，榮耀歸與 神！
在地上，平安歸與他所喜悅的人！”
15 眾天使離開他們升天去了，那些牧人彼此說：“我們往伯利恆去，看看主所指示我們已經成就的事。” 16 他們急忙去了，找到馬利亞、約瑟和那臥在馬槽裡的嬰孩。 17 他們見過以後，就把天使對他們論這孩子的話傳開了。 18 聽見的人，都希奇牧人所說的事。 19 馬利亞把這一切放在心裡，反覆思想。 20 牧人因為聽見的和看見的，正像天使對他們所說的一樣，就回去了，把榮耀讚美歸與 神。
21 滿了八天，替孩子行割禮的時候，就給他起名叫耶穌，就是他成胎之前，天使所起的。
在聖殿奉獻耶穌
22 滿了潔淨的日子，他們就按著摩西的律法，帶孩子上耶路撒冷去，奉獻給主。 23 正如主的律法所記：“所有頭生的男孩，都當稱為聖歸給主。” 24 又照著主的律法所說的獻上祭物，就是一對斑鳩或兩隻雛鴿。
25 在耶路撒冷有一個人，名叫西面，這人公義虔誠，一向期待以色列的安慰者來到，又有聖靈在他身上。 26 聖靈啟示他，在死前必得見主所應許的基督， 27 他又受聖靈感動進了聖殿。那時，耶穌的父母抱著孩子進來，要按著律法的規矩為他行禮。 28 西面就把他接到手上，稱頌 神說：
29 “主啊，現在照你的話，
釋放僕人平平安安地去吧！
30 因我的眼睛已經看見你的救恩，
31 就是你在萬民面前所預備的，
32 為要作外族人啟示的光，
和你民以色列的榮耀。”
33 他父母因論到他的這些話而希奇。 34 西面給他們祝福，對他母親馬利亞說：“看哪！這孩子被立，要叫以色列中許多人跌倒，許多人興起，又要成為反對的目標， 35 （你自己的心也會被刀刺透，）這樣，許多人心中的意念就要被揭露出來。” 36 又有一個女先知，就是亞拿，是亞設支派法內利的女兒。她已經上了年紀，從童女出嫁，和丈夫住了七年， 37 就寡居了，直到八十四歲（“就寡居了，直到八十四歲”或譯：“就寡居了八十四年”）。她沒有離開過聖殿，以禁食和禱告晝夜事奉主。 38 就在那時候，她前來稱謝 神，並且向期待耶路撒冷蒙救贖的眾人，講論孩子的事。
39 他們按著主的律法辦完一切，就回加利利，到自己的城拿撒勒去了。 40 孩子漸漸長大，強壯起來，充滿智慧，有 神的恩典在他身上。
孩童耶穌上耶路撒冷過節
41 每年逾越節，他父母都上耶路撒冷去。 42 當他十二歲時，他們按著節期的慣例，照常上去。 43 過完了節，他們回去的時候，孩童耶穌仍留在耶路撒冷，他父母卻不知道， 44 還以為他在同行的人中間。走了一天，就在親戚和熟人中找他， 45 沒有找到，就轉回耶路撒冷找他。 46 過了三天，才發現他在聖殿裡，坐在教師中間，一面聽，一面問。 47 所有聽見他的人，都希奇他的聰明和應對。 48 他父母見了，非常驚奇，他母親說：“孩子，為甚麼這樣對待我們呢？你看，你父親和我都很擔心地在找你呢！” 49 他說：“為甚麼找我呢？你們不知道我必須在我父的家裡嗎？（“在我父的家裡嗎？”或譯：“以我父的事為念嗎？”）” 50 但他們不明白他所說的話。 51 他就同他們下去，回到拿撒勒，並且順從他們。他母親把這一切事，都存在心裡。
52 耶穌的智慧和身量，以及 神和人對他的喜愛，都不斷增長。

Luke 2
New Living Translation
The Birth of Jesus
2 At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. 2 (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. 4 And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. 5 He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child.
6 And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. 7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.
The Shepherds and Angels
8 That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, 10 but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. 11 The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! 12 And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”
15 When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem! Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger. 17 After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child. 18 All who heard the shepherds’ story were astonished, 19 but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often. 20 The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them.
Jesus Is Presented in the Temple
21 Eight days later, when the baby was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel even before he was conceived.
22 Then it was time for their purification offering, as required by the law of Moses after the birth of a child; so his parents took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. 23 The law of the Lord says, “If a woman’s first child is a boy, he must be dedicated to the Lord.”[a] 24 So they offered the sacrifice required in the law of the Lord—“either a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”[b]
The Prophecy of Simeon
25 At that time there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon. He was righteous and devout and was eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him 26 and had revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 That day the Spirit led him to the Temple. So when Mary and Joseph came to present the baby Jesus to the Lord as the law required, 28 Simeon was there. He took the child in his arms and praised God, saying,
29 “Sovereign Lord, now let your servant die in peace,
as you have promised.
30 I have seen your salvation,
31 which you have prepared for all people.
32 He is a light to reveal God to the nations,
and he is the glory of your people Israel!”
33 Jesus’ parents were amazed at what was being said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them, and he said to Mary, the baby’s mother, “This child is destined to cause many in Israel to fall, and many others to rise. He has been sent as a sign from God, but many will oppose him. 35 As a result, the deepest thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your very soul.”
The Prophecy of Anna
36 Anna, a prophet, was also there in the Temple. She was the daughter of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher, and she was very old. Her husband died when they had been married only seven years. 37 Then she lived as a widow to the age of eighty-four.[c] She never left the Temple but stayed there day and night, worshiping God with fasting and prayer. 38 She came along just as Simeon was talking with Mary and Joseph, and she began praising God. She talked about the child to everyone who had been waiting expectantly for God to rescue Jerusalem.
39 When Jesus’ parents had fulfilled all the requirements of the law of the Lord, they returned home to Nazareth in Galilee. 40 There the child grew up healthy and strong. He was filled with wisdom, and God’s favor was on him.
Jesus Speaks with the Teachers
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Passover festival. 42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they attended the festival as usual. 43 After the celebration was over, they started home to Nazareth, but Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents didn’t miss him at first, 44 because they assumed he was among the other travelers. But when he didn’t show up that evening, they started looking for him among their relatives and friends.
45 When they couldn’t find him, they went back to Jerusalem to search for him there. 46 Three days later they finally discovered him in the Temple, sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking questions. 47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 His parents didn’t know what to think. “Son,” his mother said to him, “why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been frantic, searching for you everywhere.”
49 “But why did you need to search?” he asked. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”[d] 50 But they didn’t understand what he meant.
51 Then he returned to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. And his mother stored all these things in her heart.
52 Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.
