25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and {the} Holy Spirit was upon him.

26 And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see {the} Lord's Christ.

27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law,

28 *he* received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

29 Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;

30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;

32 a light for revelation of {the} Gentiles and {the} glory of thy 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。"
