Merry Christmas


















From Luke 2

2:1 εγενετο δε εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ εξηλθεν δογμα παρα καισαροσ αυγουστου απογραφεσθαι πασαν την οικουμενην
2:2 αυτη απογραφη πρωτη εγενετο ηγεμονευοντοσ τησ συριασ κυρηνιου
2:3 και επορευοντο παντεσ απογραφεσθαι εκαστοσ εισ την εαυτου πολιν
2:4 ανεβη δε και ιωσηφ απο τησ γαλιλαιασ εκ πολεωσ ναζαρεθ εισ την ιουδαιαν εισ πολιν δαυιδ ητισ καλειται βηθλεεμ δια το ειναι αυτον εξ οικου και πατριασ δαυιδ
2:5 απογραψασθαι συν μαριαμ τη εμνηστευμενη αυτω ουση εγκυω
2:6 εγενετο δε εν τω ειναι αυτουσ εκει επλησθησαν αι ημεραι του τεκειν αυτην
2:7 και ετεκεν τον υιον αυτησ τον πρωτοτοκον και εσπαργανωσεν αυτον και ανεκλινεν αυτον εν φατνη διοτι ουκ ην αυτοισ τοποσ εν τω καταλυματι


1. FACTUM EST AUTEM IN DIEBUS ILLIS EXIIT EDICTUM A CAESARE AUGUSTO UT DESCRIBERETUR UNIVERSUS ORBIS
2. HAEC DESCRIPTIO PRIMA FACTA EST PRAESIDE SYRIAE CYRINO
3. ET IBANT OMNES UT PROFITERENTUR SINGULI IN SUAM CIVITATEM
4. ASCENDIT AUTEM ET IOSEPH A GALILAEA DE CIVITATE NAZARETH IN IUDAEAM CIVITATEM DAVID QUAE VOCATUR BETHLEEM EO QUOD ESSET DE DOMO ET FAMILIA DAVID
5. UT PROFITERETUR CUM MARIA DESPONSATA SIBI UXORE PRAEGNATE
6. FACTUM EST AUTEM CUM ESSENT IBI IMPLETI SUNT DIES UT PARERET
7. ET PEPERIT FILIUM SUUM PRIMOGENITUM ET PANNIS EUM INVOLVIT ET RECLINAVIT EUM IN PRAESEPIO QUIA NON ERAT EIS LOCUS IN DIVERSORIO

1 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.
2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.
3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
