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 Na, i Hiruharama tetahi tangata, ko Himiona te ingoa; he tangata tika, he tangata whakaaro, e tatari ana ki te whakaharinga o Iharaira: kei runga hoki te Wairua Tapu i a ia.
26 Na kua whakamaharatia ia e te Wairua Tapu, e kore ia e kite i te mate, kia kite ra ano ia i ta te Ariki Karaiti.
27 Na ka haere ia ki te temepara, he meatanga na te Wairua: a i nga matua e mau ana i te tamaiti, i a Ihu, kia meatia ai e raua ki a ia ta te ture i whakarite ai,
28 Ka tango ia i a ia ki ona ringa, ka whakapai ki te Atua, ka mea,
29 Katahi, e te Ariki, ka tukua tau pononga kia haere i runga i te rangimarie, ka pera me tau i korero ai:
30 Ka kite nei hoki oku kanohi i tau whakaoranga,
31 Ka whakatakotoria nei e koe ki te aroaro o nga iwi katoa;
32 Hei whakamarama e kite ai nga tauiwi, hei kororia hoki mo tau iwi, mo Iharaira.
