25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lords Christ.

27 So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the Law,

28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:

29 Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word;

30 for my eyes have seen Your Salvation

31 which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,

32 a Light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the Glory of Your people Israel.

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

26 Fora-lhe revelado pelo Espírito Santo que ele não morreria antes de ver o Cristo do Senhor.

27 Movido pelo Espírito, ele foi ao templo. Quando os pais trouxeram o menino Jesus para lhe fazer conforme requeria o costume da lei,

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

29 "Ó Soberano, como prometeste, agora podes despedir em paz o teu servo.

30 Pois os meus olhos já viram a tua salvação,

31 que preparaste à vista de todos os povos:

32 luz para revelação aos gentios e para a glória de Israel, teu povo".
