Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
φῶς εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν καὶ δόξαν λαοῦ σου, Ἰσραήλ
/a/_light for revelation ˱of˲_/the/_pagans and glory ˱of˲_/the/_people ˱of˲_you Israel
This expression means that the child will help the Gentiles to understand. Simeon compares Jesus’ role to that of a physical light that enables people to see solid objects. Alternate translation: “This child will enable the Gentiles to understand, just as light allows people to see things clearly and he will bring honor to the people of Israel, who belong to you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
