< Matouš 2 >

1 Když se pak narodil Ježíš v Betlémě Judově za dnů Heródesa krále, aj, mudrci od východu slunce vypravili se do Jeruzaléma,
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Řkouce: Kde jest ten narozený král Židovský? Nebo viděli jsme hvězdu jeho na východu slunce, a vypravili jsme se, abychom se klaněli jemu.
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 To uslyšev Heródes král, zarmoutil se i všecken Jeruzalém s ním.
When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 A protož svolav všecky přední kněží a učitele lidu, tázal se jich, kde by se Kristus měl naroditi.
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5 Oni pak řekli jemu: V Betlémě Judově. Nebo tak jest psáno skrze proroka:
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 A ty Betléme, země Judská, nikoli nejsi nejmenší mezi knížaty Judskými; neboť z tebe vyjde vývoda, kterýž pásti bude lid můj Izraelský.
And you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Tehdy Heródes tajně povolav mudrců, pilně se jich vyptával, kterého by se jim času hvězda ukázala.
Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 A když je propouštěl do Betléma, řekl: Jdouce, vyptejte se pilně na to děťátko, a když naleznete, zvěstujtež mi, ať i já přijda, pokloním se jemu.
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when all of you have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 Oni pak vyslyševše krále, jeli. A aj, hvězda, kterouž byli viděli na východu slunce, předcházela je, až i přišedši, stála nad místem, kdež bylo děťátko.
When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 A uzřevše hvězdu, zradovali se radostí velmi velikou.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 I všedše do domu, nalezli děťátko s Marií matkou jeho, a padše, klaněli se jemu; a otevřevše poklady své, obětovali jemu dary, zlato a kadidlo a mirru.
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
12 A od Boha napomenuti jsouce ve snách, aby se nenavraceli k Heródesovi, jinou cestou navrátili se do krajiny své.
And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 Když pak oni odjeli, aj, anděl Páně ukázal se Jozefovi ve snách, řka: Vstana, vezmi děťátko i matku jeho, a utec do Egypta, a buď tam, dokudž nepovím tobě; neboť bude Heródes hledati děťátka, aby je zahubil.
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be you there until I bring you word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 Kterýž vstav v noci, vzal děťátko i matku jeho, a odšel do Egypta.
When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15 A byl tam až do smrti Heródesovy, aby se naplnilo povědění Páně skrze proroka, řkoucího: Z Egypta povolal jsem Syna svého.
And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Tehdy Heródes uzřev, že by oklamán byl od mudrců, rozhněval se náramně, a poslav, zmordoval všecky dítky, kteréž byly v Betlémě i ve všech končinách jeho, od dvouletých a níže, podlé času, na kterýž se byl pilně vyptal od mudrců.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding angry, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
17 Tehdy naplněno jest to povědění Jeremiáše proroka, řkoucího:
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18 Hlas v Ráma slyšán jest, naříkání a pláč a kvílení mnohé; Ráchel plačící synů svých, a nedala se potěšiti, proto že jich není.
In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 Když pak umřel Heródes, aj, anděl Páně ukázal se Jozefovi ve snách v Egyptě,
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Řka: Vstana, vezmi dítě i matku jeho, a jdiž do země Izraelské; neboť jsou zemřeli ti, kteříž hledali bezživotí dítěte.
Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
21 Kterýžto vstav, vzal dítě i matku jeho, a přišel do země Izraelské.
And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Ale uslyšev, že by Archelaus kraloval v Judstvu místo Heródesa otce svého, obával se tam jíti; avšak napomenut byv od Boha ve snách, obrátil se do krajin Galilejských.
But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23 A přišed, bydlil v městě, kteréž slove Nazarét, aby se naplnilo, což povědíno bylo skrze proroky, že Nazaretský slouti bude.
And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
