OET (OET-RV) Simeon took the baby into his arms and blessed God and said,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:21–40: The baby Jesus at the temple

The events in this section happened some days after Jesus was born.

In 2:21–24, Luke mentioned three ceremonies that were done when Jewish boys were born:

  1. the baby boy was circumcised;

  2. the mother was ritually purified;

  3. the baby boy was presented to God.

In 2:25–38 Luke described two other events that happened while Joseph, Mary, and Jesus were at the temple in Jerusalem. God allowed two righteous people named Simeon and Anna to see Jesus and to thank God for him. Simeon spoke a prophecy about Jesus and Mary.

In 2:39–40 Luke concluded the section. Joseph and Mary took Jesus back to their home in Nazareth, where he grew and became strong and wise. The Gospel of Matthew indicates that before they went to Nazareth, Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Egypt and stayed there for some time. Although Luke does not mention this, you should connect the clauses in 2:39 in a way that does not contradict it.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Some other possible headings for this section are:

Jesus’ Parents Obey Moses’ Teachings (GW)

Jesus Presented at the Temple (NASB)

Some English versions begin new sections at 2:25 and at 2:36. If you decide to do this in your translation, some possible headings are:

Simeon saw Jesus and prophesied about him (2:25)

Anna thanked God for Jesus and told others about him (2:36)

Simeon’s Prophecy (2:25)

Anna’s Prophecy (2:36)

2:28a

Simeon took Him in his arms

Simeon took Him in his arms: When Simeon saw the baby Jesus, Simeon immediately knew who he was. Then he came to where Jesus was and took him in his arms. In some languages, it may be necessary to make this explicit. For example:

Simeon saw the baby and realized who he was. He came and took him in his arms…

took: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as took also means “received.” It implies that Mary or Joseph willingly allowed Simeon to hold the baby Jesus. Use a verb that is appropriate in your language.

2:28b

and blessed God, saying:

and blessed God, saying: The Greek word that the BSB translates literally as blessed indicates in this context that Simeon expressed gratitude and praise to God.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί αὐτός ἐδέξατο αὐτό εἰς τάς ἀγκάλας καί εὐλόγησεν τόν Θεόν καί εἶπεν)

Luke uses the word and to indicate that this event took place after the event he has just described. That is, Simeon took Jesus in his arms after his parents brought him into the temple for the dedication ceremony. Alternate translation: [then]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτὸς ἐδέξατο αὐτὸ εἰς τὰς ἀγκάλας

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί αὐτός ἐδέξατο αὐτό εἰς τάς ἀγκάλας καί εὐλόγησεν τόν Θεόν καί εἶπεν)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could specify by name the people to whom these pronouns refer. Alternate translation: [Simeon picked up the baby Jesus and held him in his arms]
