Lc 2:1Factum est autem in diēbus illīs, exiit ēdictum ā Caesare Augustō ut dēscrīberētur ūniversus orbis.And it was done in those days: an edict went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. Lc 2:2Haec dēscrīptiō prīma facta est ā praeside Syriae Cȳrīnō: et ībant omnēs ut profitērentur singulī in suam cīvitātem.This first enrolment was made by the governor of Syria, Quirinius: and all were going, so that they might register, each one, into his own city. Lc 2:4Ascendit autem et Jōsēph ā Galilaeā dē cīvitāte Nazareth in Jūdaeam, in cīvitātem David, quae vocātur Bethlehem: eō quod esset dē domō et familiā David, ut profitērētur cum Marīā dēspōnsātā sibi uxōre praegnante.And Joseph too went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, into the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David, so that he might register with Mary, the wife betrothed to him, who was pregnant. Lc 2:6Factum est autem, cum essent ibi, implētī sunt diēs ut pareret.And it was done: when they were there, the days were fulfilled for her to give birth.
Lc 2:7Et peperit fīlium suum prīmogenitum, et pannīs eum involvit, et reclīnāvit eum in praesēpiō: quia nōn erat eīs locus in dīversōriō.And she bore her firstborn son, and wrapped him in cloths, and laid him down in a manger: because there was no place for them in the inn. Lc 2:8Et pāstōrēs erant in regiōne eādem vigilantēs, et custōdientēs vigiliās noctis super gregem suum.And there were shepherds in the same region, keeping awake, and keeping the watches of the night over their flock. Lc 2:9Et ecce angelus Dominī stetit jūxtā illōs, et clāritās Deī circumfulsit illōs, et timuērunt timōre magnō.And look, an angel of the Lord stood beside them, and the brightness of God shone around them, and they feared with a great fear. Lc 2:10Et dīxit illīs angelus: Nōlīte timēre: ecce enim ēvangelizō vōbīs gaudium magnum, quod erit omnī populō: quia nātus est vōbīs hodiē Salvātor, quī est Chrīstus Dominus, in cīvitāte David.And the angel said to them: "Do not be afraid: for look, I bring you good news of great joy, which will be for all the people: because there has been born for you today a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.
Lc 2:12Et hoc vōbīs signum: inveniētis īnfantem pannīs involūtum, et positum in praesēpiō.And this is the sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in cloths, and laid in a manger." Lc 2:13Et subitō facta est cum angelō multitūdō mīlitiae caelestis laudantium Deum, et dīcentium: [Glōria in altissimīs Deō, et in terrā pāx hominibus bonae voluntātis.] Et factum est, ut discessērunt ab eīs angelī in caelum: pāstōrēs loquēbantur ad invicem: Trānseāmus ūsque Bethlehem, et videāmus hoc verbum, quod factum est, quod Dominus ostendit nōbīs.And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will." And it was done: when the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds were speaking to one another: "Let us go across as far as Bethlehem, and let us see this word which has been done, which the Lord has shown us." Lc 2:16Et vēnērunt festīnantēs: et invēnērunt Marīam, et Jōsēph, et īnfantem positum in praesēpiō.And they came hurrying: and they found Mary, and Joseph, and the infant laid in a manger.
Lc 2:17Videntēs autem cognōvērunt dē verbō, quod dictum erat illīs dē puerō hōc.And seeing, they came to know about the word which had been spoken to them about this boy. Lc 2:18Et omnēs quī audiērunt, mīrātī sunt: et dē hīs quae dicta erant ā pāstōribus ad ipsōs.And all who heard wondered: and at the things which had been said by the shepherds to them. Lc 2:19Marīa autem cōnservābat omnia verba haec, cōnferēns in corde suō.But Mary was keeping all these words, pondering them in her heart. Lc 2:20Et reversī sunt pāstōrēs glōrificantēs et laudantēs Deum in omnibus quae audierant et vīderant, sīcut dictum est ad illōs.And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God in all the things which they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them. Lc 2:21Et postquam cōnsummātī sunt diēs octō, ut circumcīderētur puer, vocātum est nōmen ejus Jēsūs, quod vocātum est ab angelō priusquam in uterō conciperētur.And after eight days had been completed, so that the boy should be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, which was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. Lc 2:22Et postquam implētī sunt diēs pūrgātiōnis ejus secundum lēgem Mōysī, tulērunt illum in Jerūsalem, ut sisterent eum Dominō, sīcut scrīptum est in lēge Dominī: Quia omne masculīnum adaperiēns vulvam, sānctum Dominō vocābitur: et ut darent hostiam secundum quod dictum est in lēge Dominī, pār turturum, aut duōs pullōs columbārum.And after the days of her purification had been fulfilled according to the law of Moses, they carried him into Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord: "Every male opening the womb will be called holy to the Lord": and to give a sacrifice according to what has been said in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
Lc 2:25Et ecce homō erat in Jerūsalem, cui nōmen Simeon, et homō iste jūstus, et timōrātus, exspectāns cōnsōlātiōnem Isrāël: et Spīritus Sānctus erat in eō.And look, there was a man in Jerusalem, to whom the name was Simeon, and this man was just and God-fearing, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was in him. Lc 2:26Et respōnsum accēperat ā Spīritū Sānctō, nōn vīsūrum sē mortem, nisi prius vidēret Chrīstum Dominī.And he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit that he would not see death, unless he first saw the Christ of the Lord. Lc 2:27Et vēnit in spīritū in templum.And he came in the spirit into the temple. Lc 2:27Et cum indūcerent puerum Jēsum parentēs ejus, ut facerent secundum cōnsuētūdinem lēgis prō eō, et ipse accēpit eum in ulnās suās: et benedīxit Deum, et dīxit: [Nunc dīmittis servum tuum Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pāce: quia vīdērunt oculī meī salūtāre tuum, quod parāstī ante faciem omnium populōrum: lūmen ad revēlātiōnem gentium, et glōriam plēbis tuae Isrāël.] Et erat pater ejus et māter mīrantēs super hīs quae dīcēbantur dē illō.And when his parents were bringing in the boy Jesus, so that they might do for him according to the custom of the law, he too took him into his arms: and he blessed God, and said: "Now you let your servant go, Lord, according to your word, in peace: because my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared before the face of all peoples: a light for the revelation of the nations, and the glory of your people Israel." And his father and mother were wondering at the things which were being said about him.
Lc 2:34Et benedīxit illīs Simeon, et dīxit ad Marīam mātrem ejus: Ecce positus est hic in ruīnam et in resurrēctiōnem multōrum in Isrāël, et in signum cui contrādīcētur: et tuam ipsīus animam pertrānsībit gladius ut revēlentur ex multīs cordibus cōgitātiōnēs.And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: "Look, this one has been set for the fall and for the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against: and a sword will pierce through your own soul, so that thoughts may be revealed out of many hearts." Lc 2:36Et erat Anna prophētissa, fīlia Phanuel, dē tribū Aser: haec prōcesserat in diēbus multīs, et vīxerat cum virō suō annīs septem ā virginitāte suā.And there was Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher: she had gone forward in many days, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity. Lc 2:37Et haec vidua ūsque ad annōs octōgintā quatuor: quae nōn discēdēbat dē templō, jējūniīs et obsecrātiōnibus serviēns nocte ac diē.And she was a widow up to eighty-four years: who did not depart from the temple, serving with fastings and prayers night and day.
Lc 2:38Et haec, ipsā hōrā superveniēns, cōnfitēbātur Dominō: et loquēbātur dē illō omnibus, quī exspectābant redēmptiōnem Isrāël.And she, coming up at that very hour, was giving praise to the Lord: and she was speaking about him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Israel. Lc 2:39Et ut perfēcērunt omnia secundum lēgem Dominī, reversī sunt in Galilaeam in cīvitātem suam Nazareth.And when they had accomplished all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, into their city Nazareth. Lc 2:40Puer autem crēscēbat, et cōnfortābātur plēnus sapientiā: et grātia Deī erat in illō.And the boy was growing, and was being strengthened, full of wisdom: and the grace of God was in him. Lc 2:41Et ībant parentēs ejus per omnēs annōs in Jerūsalem, in diē solemnī Paschae.And his parents were going every year into Jerusalem, on the solemn day of the Passover. Lc 2:42Et cum factus esset annōrum duodecim, ascendentibus illīs Jerosolymam secundum cōnsuētūdinem diēī fēstī, cōnsummātīsque diēbus, cum redīrent, remānsit puer Jēsūs in Jerūsalem, et nōn cognōvērunt parentēs ejus.And when he had become twelve years old, as they were going up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast day, and the days having been completed, when they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, and his parents did not know.
Lc 2:44Exīstimantēs autem illum esse in comitātū, vēnērunt iter diēī, et requīrēbant eum inter cognātōs et notōs.But supposing him to be in the company, they came a day's journey, and they were seeking him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances. Lc 2:45Et nōn invenientēs, regressī sunt in Jerūsalem, requīrentēs eum.And not finding him, they went back into Jerusalem, seeking him. Lc 2:46Et factum est, post trīduum invēnērunt illum in templō sedentem in mediō doctōrum, audientem illōs, et interrogantem eōs.And it was done: after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, listening to them, and questioning them. Lc 2:47Stupēbant autem omnēs quī eum audiēbant, super prūdentiā et respōnsīs ejus.And all who were hearing him were astounded at his understanding and his answers. Lc 2:48Et videntēs admīrātī sunt.And seeing him, they were amazed. Lc 2:48Et dīxit māter ejus ad illum: Fīlī, quid fēcistī nōbīs sīc?And his mother said to him: "Son, why have you done thus to us? Lc 2:48Ecce pater tuus et ego dolentēs quaerēbāmus tē.Look, your father and I, grieving, were seeking you." Lc 2:49Et ait ad illōs: Quid est quod mē quaerēbātis?And he said to them: "How is it that you were seeking me?
Lc 2:49Nesciēbātis quia in hīs quae Patris meī sunt, oportet mē esse?Did you not know that I must be in the things which are my Father's?" Lc 2:50Et ipsī nōn intellēxērunt verbum quod locūtus est ad eōs.And they did not understand the word which he spoke to them. Lc 2:51Et dēscendit cum eīs, et vēnit Nazareth: et erat subditus illīs.And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth: and he was subject to them. Lc 2:51Et māter ejus cōnservābat omnia verba haec in corde suō.And his mother was keeping all these words in her heart. Lc 2:52Et Jēsūs prōficiēbat sapientiā, et aetāte, et grātiā apud Deum et hominēs.And Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in age, and in grace with God and people.
