Matej 2
1 Kad se Isus rodio u Betlehemu judejskome u dane Heroda kralja, gle, mudraci se s Istoka pojaviše u Jeruzalemu
Now, when, Jesus, was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! wise men from eastern parts, came into Jerusalem:
2 raspitujući se: “Gdje je taj novorođeni kralj židovski? Vidjesmo gdje izlazi zvijezda njegova pa mu se dođosmo pokloniti.”
saying—Where is he that hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to him.
3 Kada to doču kralj Herod, uznemiri se on i sav Jeruzalem s njime.
But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
4 Sazva sve glavare svećeničke i pismoznance narodne pa ih ispitivaše gdje se Krist ima roditi.
and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them—Where is, the Christ, to be born?
5 Oni mu odgovoriše: “U Betlehemu judejskome jer ovako piše prorok:
And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, —for, so, is it written through 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, Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means least, art thou, among the governors of Judah, —For, out of thee, shall one come forth to govern, Who shall shepherd my people Israel.
7 Tada Herod potajno dozva mudrace i razazna od njih vrijeme kad se pojavila zvijezda.
Then Herod, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star;
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 sending them to Bethlehem, said—Go search out accurately concerning the child, —and, as soon as ye find it, bring report unto me, that, I also, may come and bow myself down to it.
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.
Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was;
10 Kad ugledaše zvijezdu, obradovaše se radošću veoma velikom.
and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;
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, coming into the house, they saw the child, with Mary its mother, —and, falling down, prostrated themselves unto it, and, opening their treasures, offered unto it gifts—gold and frankincense and myrrh;
12 Upućeni zatim u snu da se ne vraćaju Herodu, otiđoše drugim putem u svoju zemlju.
and, being instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.
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.
Now, when they had retired, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph, saying, Arise, take unto thee the child and its mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there, until I tell thee, —for Herod is about to seek the child, to destroy it.
14 On ustane, uzme noću dijete i majku njegovu te krene u Egipat.
And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired 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, until the death of Herod, —that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt, called I my son.
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 had been mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly enraged, —and sent and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.
17 Tada se ispuni što je rečeno po proroku Jeremiji:
Then was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
18 U Rami se glas čuje, kuknjava i plač gorak: Rahela oplakuje sinove svoje i neće da se utješi jer više ih nema.
A voice, in Ramah, was heard, weeping and great mourning, —Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, —because they are not.
19 Nakon Herodova skončanja, gle, anđeo se Gospodnji javi u snu Josipu u Egiptu:
But, when Herod was, dead, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph 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 unto thee the child and its mother, and be journeying into the land of Israel, —for they are dead, who were seeking the life of the child.
21 On ustane, uzme dijete i njegovu majku te uđe u zemlju izraelsku.
And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered 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.
Hearing, however, that, Archelaus, was reigning over Judaea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid, thither, to go, —and so, being instructed by dream, he retired into the parts of Galilee;
23 Dođe i nastani se u gradu zvanu Nazaret - da se ispuni što je rečeno po prorocima: Zvat će se Nazarećanin.
and came and fixed his dwelling in a city called Nazareth, —that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets—A Nazarene, shall he be called.
