| 2 1 | IN THOSE DAYS a decree was issued by the Emperor Augustus for a registration throughout the Roman world. | The Birth of Jesus Lk.2.1-7 (Bethlehem) | Mt.1.18-25 | Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐξῆλθεν δόγμα παρὰ Καίσαρος Αὐγούστου ἀπογράφεσθαι πᾶσαν τὴν οἰκουμένην. |
|
| 2 | This was the first registration of its kind; it took place when Quirinius Or: This was the first registration carried out while Quirinius ... was governor of Syria. | | αὑτη ἀπογραφὴ πρώτη ἐγένετο ἡγεμονεύοντος τῆς Συρίας Κυρηνίου. |
|
| 3 | For this purpose everyone made his way to his own town; | | καὶ ἐπορεύοντο πάντες ἀπογράφεσθαι, ἑκαστος εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ πόλιν. |
|
| 4 | and so Joseph went up to Judaea from the town of Nazareth in Galilee, | | Ἀνέβη δὲ καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἐκ πόλεως Ναζαρὲθ εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν εἰς πόλιν Δαυὶδ ἡτις καλεῖται Βηθλέεμ, διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐξ οἰκου καὶ πατριᾶς Δαυίδ, |
|
| 5 | to register at the city of David, called Bethlehem, 4. because he was of the house of David by descent; 5. and with him went Mary who was betrothed to him. She was expecting a child, | | ἀπογράψασθαι σὺν Μαριὰμ τῇ ἐμνηστευμένῃ αὐτῷ, οὐσῃ ἐγκύῳ. |
|
| 6 | and while they were there the time came for her child to be born, | | ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν, |
|
| 7 | and she gave birth to a son, her first-born. She wrapped him in his swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them to lodge in the house. | | καὶ ἐτεκεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν πρωτότοκον· καὶ ἐσπαργάνωσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀνέκλινεν αὐτὸν ἐν φάτνῃ, διότι οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς τόπος ἐν τῷ καταλύματι. |
