2:29-32 This third great hymn of the birth narrative is called the Nunc dimittis (“now dismiss”), from the first words of the Latin translation. The hymn praises God for allowing Simeon to see God’s salvation.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative
νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου & ἐν εἰρήνῃ
now ˱you˲_/are/_sending_away the slave ˱of˲_you & in peace
Simeon is actually using this statement to make a request. Alternate translation: “Now please let me die in peace”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου
now ˱you˲_/are/_sending_away the slave ˱of˲_you
Simeon refers to himself as God’s servant in order to show humility and respect. Alternate translation: “Now please let me die”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου
now ˱you˲_/are/_sending_away the slave ˱of˲_you
Simeon uses a mild expression to refer to death. Alternate translation: “Now please let me die”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / youformal
σου & σου
˱of˲_you & ˱of˲_you
Here, the word your is singular because Simeon is addressing God. If your language has a formal form of your that it uses to address a superior respectfully, you may wish to use that form here and in 2:30 and 2:32, and the corresponding formal form for “you” in 2:31. However, it might be more natural in your language for someone who knows God well, as Simeon did, to address God using the informal form. Use your best judgment about what form to use.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου
according_to the word ˱of˲_you
Simeon is referring to the promise that God made that he would live to see the Messiah. Simeon describes that promise by association with the word or saying by which God made it. Alternate translation: “as you promised”
