- また, アセル 族の パヌエル の 娘で, アンナ という 女預言者がいた. 彼女は 非常に 年をとっていた. むすめ 時代にとついで, 七年間だけ 夫と 共に 住み,
- その 後やもめぐらしをし, 八十四歲になっていた. そして 宮を 離れずに 夜も ¿も 斷食と 祈とをもって 神に 仕えていた.
- この 老女も, ちょうどそのとき 近寄ってきて, 神に 感謝をささげ, そしてこの 幼な 子のことを, エルサレム の 救を 待ち 望んでいるすべての 人¿に 語りきかせた.
- 兩親は 主の 律法どおりすべての 事をすませたので, ガリラヤ へむかい, 自分の 町 ナザレ に 歸った.

- There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,
- and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
- Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
- When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
- And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

- さて, イエス の 兩親は, 過越の 祭には 每年 エルサレム へ 上っていた.
- イエス が 十二歲になった 時も, 慣例に 從って 祭のために 上京した.
- ところが, 祭が 終って 歸るとき, 少年 イエス は エルサレム に 居殘っておられたが, 兩親はそれに 氣づかなかった.
- そして 道連れの 中にいることと 思いこんで, 一日路を 行ってしまい, それから, 親族や 知人の 中を 搜しはじめたが,
- 見つからないので, 搜しまわりながら エルサレム へ 引返した.

- Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
- When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom.
- After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.
- Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends.
- When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him.

- そして 三日の 後に, イエス が 宮の 中で 敎師たちのまん 中にすわって, 彼らの 話を 聞いたり 質問したりしておられるのを 見つけた.
- 聞く 人¿はみな, イエス の 賢さやその 答に 驚嘆していた.
- 兩親はこれを 見て 驚き, そして 母が 彼に 言った, 「どうしてこんな 事をしてくれたのです. ごらんなさい, おとう 樣もわたしも 心配して, あなたを 搜していたのです 」.
- すると イエス は 言われた, 「どうしてお 搜しになったのですか. わたしが 自分の 父の 家にいるはずのことを, ご 存じなかったのですか 」.
- しかし, 兩親はその 語られた 言葉を 悟ることができなかった.

- After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
- Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
- When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."
- "Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?"
- But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
|
- それから イエス は 兩親と 一緖に ナザレ に 下って 行き, 彼らにお 仕えになった. 母はこれらの 事をみな 心に 留めていた.
- イエス はますます 知惠が 加わり, 背たけも 伸び, そして 神と 人から 愛された.
|
- Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.
- And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
