He was given the name Jesus

按著猶太人的規矩給嬰孩施行割禮

and Joseph and Mary took the Child to to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord.

並且給他起名叫耶穌

In the temple there was a good and devout man

耶穌誕生一個多月後

who the Holy Spirit had promised would not die

約瑟和馬利亞帶他到耶路撒冷

until he had seen the Christ.

把他獻給上帝

His name was Simeon.

在聖殿中有一位善良和虔誠的人

Lord, now You can let me, Thy servant,

名叫西面 聖靈告訴他

depart in peace according to Thy word.

在他離世前必定會見到耶穌

For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation.

主啊 如今可以照你的話語

This Child is chosen by God.

讓你的僕人安然離去了

May you both be blessed.

因為我已經看見了你的救恩

And when they had completed all their duties

這孩子是你所揀選的

according to the law of Moses,

願上帝祝福你們

they left Jerusalem and returned to Nazareth.

約瑟和馬利亞按照摩西的律法

When Jesus was twelve years old,

辦完了一切事

Joseph and Mary took Him to Jerusalem for the passover feast.

就離開了耶路撒冷

But, when they started back home,

回到了拿撒勒

thinking that the Boy was with them,

當耶穌十二歲的時侯

Jesus stayed behind.

約瑟和馬利亞帶他去耶路撒冷過逾越節

They returned to the city looking for Him.

回家的路上

And on the third day found Him in the temple

約瑟和瑪利亞以為耶穌在同行的人中間

sitting with the rabbis and the elders.

卻不知他留在了耶路撒冷

Whose Child is this who asks such questions?

一天後 他們發現耶穌不見了

He's from Nazareth.

就回去找他 過了三天

We thought He had left with us. Please, forgive Him His zeal.

他們在聖殿中找到耶穌

All who heard Him were amazed.

他正坐在一群老師和長者中間

Son! Why have You done this to us?

這是誰的孩子這麼有智慧

Your father and I have been terribly worried trying to find you.

他從拿撒勒來

How is it that you looked for Me?

我們以為他和我們一起走了

Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?

請原諒他的打擾

And He came with them to Nazareth

所有在場的人

and increased in wisdom and stature

都希奇耶穌聰明的應對

and in favor with God and with man.

我兒 你為什麼這樣做呢
