- When they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city of Nazareth.
- The Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.

- Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.
- And when He became twelve, they went up there according to the custom of the Feast;

- 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.

- Then, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
- And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers.
- When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You."
- And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father's house?"
- But they did not understand the statement which He had made to them.

- 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.

- And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
- And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
|
- 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.
