2 And this taxynge was the fyrst and executed when Syrenius was leftenaut in Syria.
2 Este empadronamiento primero fué hecho siendo Cirenio gobernador de la Siria.
3 And every man went vnto his awne citie to be taxed.
3 E iban todos para ser empadronados, cada uno á su ciudad.
4 And Ioseph also ascended from Galile oute of a cite called Nazareth into Iurie: vnto the cite of David which is called Bethleem because he was of the housse and linage of David
4 Y subió José de Galilea, de la ciudad de Nazaret, á Judea, á la ciudad de David, que se llama Bethlehem, por cuanto era de la casa y familia de David;
5 to be taxed with Mary his spoused wyfe which was with chylde.
5 Para ser empadronado con María su mujer, desposada con él, la cual estaba en cinta.
6 And it fortuned whyll they were there her tyme was come that she shuld be delyvered.
6 Y aconteció que estando ellos allí, se cumplieron los días en que ella había de parir.
7 And she brought forth her fyrst begotten sonne and wrapped him in swadlynge cloothes and layed him in a manger because ther was no roume for them within in the ynne.
7 Y parió á su hijo primogénito, y le envolvió en pañales, y acostóle en un pesebre, porque no había lugar para ellos en el mesón.
8 And ther were in the same region shepherdes abydinge in the felde and watching their flocke by nyght.
8 Y había pastores en la misma tierra, que velaban y guardaban las vigilias de la noche sobre su ganado.
9 And loo: the angell of the lorde stode harde by the and the brightnes of the lorde shone rounde aboute them and they were soare afrayed.
9 Y he aquí el ángel del Señor vino sobre ellos, y la claridad de Dios los cercó de resplandor; y tuvieron gran temor.
10 But the angell sayd vnto them: Be not afrayed. For beholde I bringe you tydinges of greate ioye that shal come to all the people:
10 Mas el ángel les dijo: No temáis; porque he aquí os doy nuevas de gran gozo, que será para todo el pueblo:
11 for vnto you is borne this daye in the cite of David a saveoure which is Christ the lorde.
11 Que os ha nacido hoy, en la ciudad de David, un Salvador, que es CRISTO el Señor.
12 And take this for a signe: ye hall fynde the chylde swadled and layed in a manger.
12 Y esto os [será] por señal: hallaréis al niño envuelto en pañales, echado en un pesebre.
13 And streight waye ther was with the angell a multitude of hevenly sowdiers laudynge God and sayinge:
13 Y repentinamente fué con el ángel una multitud de los ejércitos celestiales, que alababan á Dios, y decían:
14 Gloria en las alturas á Dios, y en la tierra paz, buena voluntad para con los hombres.
15 And it fortuned assone as the angels were gone awaye from them in to heven the shepherdes sayd one to another: let vs goo even vnto Bethleem and se this thynge that is hapened which the Lorde hath shewed vnto vs.
15 Y aconteció que como los ángeles se fueron de ellos al cielo, los pastores dijeron los unos á los otros: Pasemos pues hasta Bethlehem, y veamos esto que ha sucedido, que el Señor nos ha manifestado.
16 And they cam with haste and founde Mary and Ioseph and the babe layde in a manger.
16 Y vinieron apriesa, y hallaron á María, y á José, y al niño acostado en el pesebre.
17 And when they had sene it they publisshed a brode the sayinge which was tolde them of that chylde.
17 Y viéndolo, hicieron notorio lo que les había sido dicho del niño.
18 And all that hearde it wondred at those thinges which were tolde the of the shepherdes.
18 Y todos los que oyeron, se maravillaron de lo que los pastores les decían.
19 But Mary kept all thoose sayinges and pondered them in hyr hert.
19 Mas María guardaba todas estas cosas, confiriéndolas en su corazón.
20 And the shepherdes retourned praysinge and laudinge God for all that they had herde and sene evyn as it was told vnto them.
20 Y se volvieron los pastores glorificando y alabando á Dios de todas las cosas que habían oído y visto, como les había sido dicho.
21 And when the eyght daye was come that the chylde shuld be circucised his name was called Iesus which was named of the angell before he was conceaved in the wombe.

35 Y una espada traspasará tu alma de ti misma, para que sean manifestados los pensamientos de muchos corazones.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Luke 2:14: “good will toward men” or “peace to men of good will”?
The angels’ song differs by a single Greek letter. Most manuscripts, the Patriarchal Text and the Orthodox Doxology read eudokia: “glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Several of the oldest manuscripts read eudokias: “peace among men of his good pleasure,” which the Latin rendered “men of good will.” Both readings place the source of peace in God’s favour.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The production, again, of the Duodecad of the Æons, is indicated by the fact that the Lord was twelve years of age when He disputed with the teachers of the law, and by the election of the apostles, for of these there were twelve.
In Thy good pleasure lies our peace. The body by its own weight gravitates towards its own place.
