- また, アセル 族の パヌエル の 娘で 女預言者の アンナ という 人がいた. この 人は 非常に 年をとっていた. 處女の 時代のあと 七年間, 夫とともに 住み,
- その 後やもめになり, 八十四歲になっていた. そして 宮を 離れず, 夜も ¿も, 斷食と 祈りをもって 神に 仕えていた.
- ちょうどこのとき, 彼女もそこにいて, 神に 感謝をささげ, そして, エルサレム の ·いを 待ち 望んでいるすべての 人¿に, この 幼子のことを 語った.
- さて, 彼らは 主の 律法による 定めをすべて 果たしたので, ガリラヤ の 自分たちの 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 祭りには 每年 エルサレム に 行った.
- イエス が 十二歲になられたときも, 兩親は 祭りの 慣習に 從って 都へ 上り,
- 祭りの 期間を 過ごしてから, 歸路についたが, 少年 イエス は エルサレム にとどまっておられた. 兩親はそれに 氣づかなかった.
- イエス が 一行の 中にいるものと 思って, 一日の 道のりを 行った. それから, 親族や 知人の 中を 搜し 回ったが,
- 見つからなかったので, イエス を 搜しながら, エルサレム まで 引き 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.
|
- そしてようやく 三日の 後に, イエス が 宮で 敎師たちの 眞中にすわって, 話を 聞いたり 質問したりしておられるのを 見つけた.
- 聞いていた 人¿はみな, イエス の 知惠と 答えに 驚いていた.
- 兩親は 彼を 見て 驚き, 母は 言った. 「まあ, あなたはなぜ 私たちにこんなことをしたのです. 見なさい. 父上も 私も, 心配してあなたを 搜し 回っていたのです. 」
- すると イエス は 兩親に 言われた. 「どうしてわたしをお 搜しになったのですか. わたしが 必ず 自分の 父の 家にいることを, ご 存じなかったのですか. 」
- しかし 兩親には, イエス の 話されたことばの 意味がわからなかった.

- 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, いっしょに 下って 行かれ, ナザレ に 歸って, 兩親に 仕えられた. 母はこれらのことをみな, 心に 留めておいた.
- イエス はますます 知惠が 進み, 背たけも 大きくなり, 神と 人とに 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.
