ルカ伝福音書第２章第１～２０節（文語訳聖書）
1その頃、天下の人を戸籍に著かすべき詔令カイザル・アウグストより出づ。2この戸籍登録は、クレニオ、シリヤの総督たりし時に行はれし初のものなり。3さて人みな戸籍に著かんとて、各自その故郷に帰る。4ヨセフもダビデの家系また血統なれば、5既に孕める許婚の妻マリヤとともに、戸籍に著かんとて、ガリラヤの町ナザレを出でてユダヤに上り、ダビデの町ベツレヘムといふ処に到りぬ。6此処に居るほどに、マリヤ月満ちて、7初子をうみ之を布に包みて馬槽に臥させたり。旅舎にをる処なかりし故なり。8この地に野宿して夜、群れを守りをる牧者ありしが、9主の使その傍らに立ち、主の栄光その周囲を照したれば、甚く懼る。10御使彼らに言ふ『懼るな。視よ、この民、一般に及ぶべき、大なる歓喜の音信を我なんぢらに告ぐ、11今日ダビデの町にて、汝らの為に救主うまれ給へり、これ主キリストなり。12なんぢら布にて包まれ、馬槽に臥しをる嬰児を見ん、是その徴なり』13忽ちあまたの天の軍勢、御使いに加わり、神を讃美して言ふ14『いと高き処には栄光、神にあれ。地には平和、主の悦び給ふ人にあれ』15御使等さりて天に往きしとき、牧者たがひに語る『いざ、ベツレヘムにいたり、主の示し給ひし起れる事を見ん』16乃ち急ぎ往きて、マリヤとヨセフと、馬槽に臥したる嬰児とに尋ねあふ。17既に見て、この子につき御使いの語りしことを告げたれば、18聞く者はみな牧者の語りしことを怪しみたり。19而してマリヤは凡て此等のことを心に留めて思ひ回せり。20牧者は御使の語りしごとく凡ての事を見聞せしによりて神を崇め、かつ讃美しつつ帰れり。

The Gospel according to St. Luke. Chapter 2:1-20 (King James Version)
1And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the house and lineage of David,)
5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
