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 cujo nome era Simeão; e este homem era justo e temente a Deus, esperando a consolação d’Israel; e o Espírito Santo estava sobre ele. 26 E fora-lhe revelado pelo Espírito Santo que ele não morreria antes de ter visto o Cristo do Senhor. 27 E pelo Espírito foi ao templo, e, quando os pais trouxeram o menino Jesus, para com ele procederem segundo o uso da lei, 28 Ele então o tomou em seus braços, e louvou a Deus, e disse: 29 Agora, Senhor, despedes em paz o teu servo, segundo a tua palavra; 30 Pois já os meus olhos viram a tua salvação, 31 A qual tu preparaste perante a face de todos os povos; 32 Luz para alumiar as nações, e para glória de teu povo Israel.
