Juleevangeliet - Oslo Gospel Choir

Gloria

Det skjedde i de dager at det gikk ut befaling fra keiser Augustus om at hele

verden skulle innskrives i manntall

Denne første innskrivningen ble holdt mens Kvirinius var landshøvding i Syria

Og alle dro av sted for å la seg innskrive, hver til sin by

Josef dro da fra byen Nasaret i Galilea opp til Judea, til Davids by Betlehem,

siden han var av Davids hus og ætt, for å la seg innskrive sammen med Maria,

som var lovet bort til ham, og som ventet barn

Og mens de var der, kom tiden da hun skulle føde, og hun fødte sin sønn,

den førstefødte

Hun svøpte ham og la ham i en krybbe, for det var ikke plass til dem i herberget

Ære være Gud i det høyeste

Og fred på jorden

Blant mennesker som har Guds velbehag

Det var noen gjetere der i nærheten som var ute og holdt nattevakt over sauene

sine

Med ett sto en Herrens engel foran dem, og Herrens herlighet lyste om dem

De ble meget forferdet

Men engelen sa til dem: Frykt ikke!

Se, jeg forkynner dere en stor glede, en glede for hele folket: I dag er det

født dere en frelser i Davids by;

han er Kristus, Herren

Og dette skal dere ha til tegn: Dere skal finne et barn som er svøpt og ligger

i en krybbe

Med ett var engelen omgitt av en himmelsk hærskare, som lovpriste Gud og sang:

Ære være Gud i det høyeste

Og fred på jorden

Blant mennesker som har Guds velbehag

Ære være Gud i det høyeste

Og fred på jorden

Blant mennesker som har Guds velbehag

Da englene hadde forlatt dem og vendt tilbake til himmelen, sa gjeterne til

hverandre: La oss gå inn til Betlehem for å se dette som har hendt,

og som Herren har kunngjort oss

Og de skyndte seg av sted og fant Maria og Josef og det lille barnet som lå der

i krybben

Da de fikk se ham, fortalte de alt som var blitt sagt dem om dette barnet

Alle som sto omkring, undret seg over det gjeterne fortalte

Men Maria gjemte på alt det som var blitt sagt i sitt hjerte, og grunnet på det

Gloria

It came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all

the world was to be inscribed in the census

This first enrollment was held while Kvirinius was governor of Syria

And they all went out to be enrolled, each to his own city

And Joseph went out from the city of Nazareth of Galilee, into Judaea, unto the city of David, Bethlehem;

since he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary,

who were promised to him, and who were expecting children

And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth, and she bore her son,

the firstborn

She wrapped him up and put him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the hostel

Glory be to God in the highest

And peace on earth

Among people who have the good pleasure of God

There were some shepherds nearby who were out guarding the sheep at night

sine

Suddenly an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone upon them

They were very appalled

And the angel said unto them, Fear not;

Behold, I declare unto you a great joy, a joy unto all the people: This day it is

born unto you a Savior in the City of David;

he is Christ, the Lord

And this shall be a sign unto you;

in a manger

Suddenly the angel was surrounded by a heavenly host, who praised God and sang:

Glory be to God in the highest

And peace on earth

Among people who have the good pleasure of God

Glory be to God in the highest

And peace on earth

Among people who have the good pleasure of God

When the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said

one another: Let us go into Bethlehem to see what has happened,

and as the Lord has made known to us

And they hurried away and found Mary and Joseph and the little child lying there

in the manger

When they saw him, they told him everything that had been told to them about this child

Everyone standing around wondered what the shepherds were saying

But Mary hid all that had been said in her heart, and pondered it
