在伯利恆之野地裡有牧羊的人、夜間按著更次看守羊群。 有主的使者站在他們旁邊、主的榮光四面照著他們．牧羊的人就甚懼怕。 那天使對他們說、不要懼怕、我報給你們大喜的信息、是關乎萬民的． 因今天在大衛的城裡、為你們生了救主、就是主基督。 你們要看見一個嬰孩、包著布、臥在馬槽裡、那就是記號了。 忽然有一大隊天兵、同那天使讚美 神說、 在至高之處榮耀歸與 神、在地上平安歸與他所喜悅的人。
Now there were shepherds nearby living out in the field, keeping guard over their flock at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were absolutely terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! Listen carefully, for I proclaim to you good news that brings great joy to all the people: Today your Savior is born in the city of David. He is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a vast, heavenly army appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among people with whom he is pleased!”
