25 And there was then in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon; and he was an upright man, fearing God and waiting for the comfort of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was on him.

26 And he had knowledge, through the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death till he had seen the Lord's Christ.

27 And full of the Spirit he came into the Temple; and when the father and mother came in with the child Jesus, to do with him what was ordered by the law,

28 Then he took him in his arms and gave praise to God and said,

29 Now you are letting your servant go in peace, O Lord, as you have said;

30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,

31 Which you have made ready before the face of all nations;

32 A light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.

25 在耶路撒冷有一个人， 名叫西面， 这人公义虔诚， 一向期待以色列的安慰者来到， 又有圣灵在他身上。

26 圣灵启示他， 在死前必得见主所应许的基督，

27 他又受圣灵感动进了圣殿。那时， 耶稣的父母抱着孩子进来， 要按着律法的规矩为他行礼。

28 西面就把他接到手上， 称颂 神说：

29 "主啊， 现在照你的话， 释放仆人平平安安地去吧！

30 因我的眼睛已经看见你的救恩，

31 就是你在万民面前所预备的，

32 为要作外族人启示的光， 和你民以色列的荣耀。"
