Matej 2
1 Kad se Isus rodio u Betlehemu judejskome u dane Heroda kralja, gle, mudraci se s Istoka pojaviše u Jeruzalemu
When Jesus then was borne at Bethleem in Iudea, in the dayes of Herod the King, beholde, there came Wisemen from the East to Hierusalem,
2 raspitujući se: “Gdje je taj novorođeni kralj židovski? Vidjesmo gdje izlazi zvijezda njegova pa mu se dođosmo pokloniti.”
Saying, Where is that King of the Iewes that is borne? for wee haue seene his starre in the East, and are come to worship him.
3 Kada to doču kralj Herod, uznemiri se on i sav Jeruzalem s njime.
When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and all Hierusalem with him.
4 Sazva sve glavare svećeničke i pismoznance narodne pa ih ispitivaše gdje se Krist ima roditi.
And gathering together all the chiefe Priestes and Scribes of the people, hee asked of them, where Christ should be borne.
5 Oni mu odgovoriše: “U Betlehemu judejskome jer ovako piše prorok:
And they saide vnto him, At Beth-leem in Iudea: for so it is written by the Prophet,
6 A ti, Betleheme, zemljo Judina! Nipošto nisi najmanji među kneževstvima Judinim jer iz tebe će izaći vladalac koji će pasti narod moj - Izraela!
And thou Beth-leem in the lande of Iuda, art not the least among the Princes of Iuda: For out of thee shall come the gouernour that shall feede that my people Israel.
7 Tada Herod potajno dozva mudrace i razazna od njih vrijeme kad se pojavila zvijezda.
Then Herod priuily called the Wisemen, and diligently inquired of them the time of the starre that appeared,
8 Zatim ih posla u Betlehem: “Pođite, reče, i pomno se raspitajte za dijete. Kad ga nađete, javite mi da i ja pođem te mu se poklonim.”
And sent them to Beth-leem, saying, Goe, and searche diligently for the babe: and when ye haue founde him, bring mee worde againe, that I may come also, and worship him.
9 Oni saslušavši kralja, pođoše. I gle, zvijezda kojoj vidješe izlazak iđaše pred njima sve dok ne stiže i zaustavi se povrh mjesta gdje bijaše dijete.
So when they had heard the King, they departed: and loe, the starre which they had seene in the East, went before them, till it came and stoode ouer the place where the babe was.
10 Kad ugledaše zvijezdu, obradovaše se radošću veoma velikom.
And when they sawe the starre, they reioyced with an exceeding great ioy,
11 Uđu u kuću, ugledaju dijete s Marijom, majkom njegovom, padnu ničice i poklone mu se. Otvore zatim svoje blago i prinesu mu darove: zlato, tamjan i smirnu.
And went into the house, and founde the babe with Mary his mother, and fell downe, and worshipped him, and opened their treasures, and presented vnto him giftes, euen golde, and frankincense, and myrrhe.
12 Upućeni zatim u snu da se ne vraćaju Herodu, otiđoše drugim putem u svoju zemlju.
And after they were warned of God in a dreame, that they should not go againe to Herod, they returned into their countrey another way.
13 A pošto oni otiđoše, gle, anđeo se Gospodnji u snu javi Josipu: “Ustani, reče, uzmi dijete i majku njegovu te bježi u Egipat i ostani ondje dok ti ne reknem jer će Herod tražiti dijete da ga pogubi.
After their departure, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeareth to Ioseph in a dreame, saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there til I bring thee word: for Herod will seeke the babe, to destroy him.
14 On ustane, uzme noću dijete i majku njegovu te krene u Egipat.
So he arose and tooke the babe and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 I osta ondje do Herodova skončanja - da se ispuni što Gospodin reče po proroku: Iz Egipta dozvah Sina svoga.
And was there vnto the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, Out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.
16 Vidjevši da su ga mudraci izigrali, Herod se silno rasrdi i posla poubijati sve dječake u Betlehemu i po svoj okolici, od dvije godine naniže - prema vremenu što ga razazna od mudraca.
Then Herod, seeing that he was mocked of the Wisemen, was exceeding wroth, and sent foorth, and slew all the male children that were in Beth-leem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two yeere old and vnder, according to the time which he had diligently searched out of the Wisemen.
17 Tada se ispuni što je rečeno po proroku Jeremiji:
Then was that fulfilled which is spoken by the Prophet Ieremias, saying,
18 U Rami se glas čuje, kuknjava i plač gorak: Rahela oplakuje sinove svoje i neće da se utješi jer više ih nema.
In Rhama was a voyce heard, mourning, and weeping, and great howling: Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not.
19 Nakon Herodova skončanja, gle, anđeo se Gospodnji javi u snu Josipu u Egiptu:
And whe Herod was dead, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeareth in a dreame to Ioseph in Egypt,
20 “Ustani, reče, uzmi dijete i njegovu majku te pođi u zemlju izraelsku jer su umrli oni koji su djetetu o glavi radili.”
Saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and goe into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the babes life.
21 On ustane, uzme dijete i njegovu majku te uđe u zemlju izraelsku.
Then he arose vp and tooke the babe and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Ali saznavši da Arhelaj vlada Judejom namjesto svoga oca Heroda, bojao se poći onamo pa, upućen u snu, ode u kraj galilejski.
But whe he heard that Archelaus did reigne in Iudea in stead of his father Herod, he was afraide to go thither: yet after he was warned of God in a dreame, he turned aside into the parts of Galile,
23 Dođe i nastani se u gradu zvanu Nazaret - da se ispuni što je rečeno po prorocima: Zvat će se Nazarećanin.
And went and dwelt in a citie called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophets, which was, That hee should be called a Nazarite.
