25 Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27 He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law, 28 then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,

29 "Now you are releasing your servant, Master,

according to your word, in peace;

30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,

31 which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;

32 a light for revelation to the nations,

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。"
