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 had been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! there came magians 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 the king of the Jews that hath been born? for we saw his star in the East, and came to do him homage.
3 To uslyšev Heródes král, zarmoutil se i všecken Jeruzalém s ním.
But when Herod the king heard of 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 assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
5 Oni pak řekli jemu: V Betlémě Judově. Nebo tak jest psáno skrze proroka:
And they said to 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 thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, art by no means least among the princes of Judah; for out of thee shall come a ruler, who shall feed my people Israel.”
7 Tehdy Heródes tajně povolav mudrců, pilně se jich vyptával, kterého by se jim času hvězda ukázala.
Then Herod, having privately called the magians ascertained from them exactly the time when 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 carefully for the child; and when ye have found him, bring me word, that I also may go and do him homage.
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 had seen in the East, went before them, till it came and stood over where the 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 had come into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and did homage to him; and opening their treasures, they presented 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 having been warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to 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 had gone, lo! an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and remain there until I speak to thee; for Herod will seek the child, to destroy him.
14 Kterýž vstav v noci, vzal děťátko i matku jeho, a odšel do Egypta.
And he arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and went to 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 by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “I called my son out of Egypt.”
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 had been deceived by the magians, was greatly enraged; and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the magians.
17 Tehdy naplněno jest to povědění Jeremiáše proroka, řkoucího:
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah 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.
“A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping, and great mourning; Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they were no more.”
19 Když pak umřel Heródes, aj, anděl Páně ukázal se Jozefovi ve snách v Egyptě,
But when Herod was dead, lo! an angel of the Lord appeareth 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 child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel; for they who sought the child's life are dead.
21 Kterýžto vstav, vzal dítě i matku jeho, a přišel do země Izraelské.
And he arose, and took the 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 was reigning in Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned by God in a dream, he withdrew 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 came and took up his abode in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, “He will be called a Nazarene,”
