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 Havia em Jerusalém um homem chamado Simeão, homem este justo e piedoso, que esperava a consolação de Israel, e o Espírito Santo estava sobre ele;

26 e lhe havia sido revelado pelo Espírito Santo que não morreria antes de ver o Cristo do Senhor.

27 Movido pelo Espírito foi ao templo; quando os pais trouxeram o menino Jesus para fazer por este o que a Lei ordenava,

28 Simeão tomou-o nos seus braços e louvou a Deus, dizendo:

29 Agora tu, Senhor, despedes em paz o teu servo Segundo a tua palavra;

30 Porque os meus olhos já viram a tua salvação,

31 A qual preparaste ante a face de todos os povos:

32 Luz para revelação aos gentios, E glória do teu povo de Israel.
