νῦν ἀπολύεις τὸν δοῦλόν σου & ἐν εἰρήνῃ

now ˱you˲_/are/_sending_away the slave ˱of˲_you & in peace

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]
