Matouš 2
1 Když se pak narodil Ježíš v Betlémě Judově, za dnů Herodesa krále, aj, mudrci od východu slunce přijeli do Jeruzaléma,
After the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod, lo! certain Magi arrived in Jerusalem, saying.
2 Řkouce: Kde jest ten, kterýž se narodil Král Židovský? Nebo viděli jsme hvězdu jeho na východu slunce, a přijeli jsme klaněti se jemu.
"Where is the new-born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him."
3 To uslyšev Herodes král, zarmoutil se i všecken Jeruzalém s ním.
When King Herod heard this he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 A svolav všecky přední kněží a učitele lidu, tázal se jich, kde by se Kristus měl naroditi.
So when he had gathered together all the chief priests and rabbis of the people, he began to inquire 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 told him. "At Bethlehem in Judea, as it is written in 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 in the land of Judah, Thou are not least among the princes of Judah, For out of thee shall come a ruler Who shall shepherd my people, Israel."
7 Tedy Herodes tajně povolav mudrců, pilně se jich ptal, kterého by se jim času hvězda ukázala.
Thereupon Herod sent secretly for the Magi, and found out from them the time when the star appeared.
8 A když je propouštěl do Betléma, řekl: Jdouce, ptejte se pilně na to dítě, a když naleznete, zvěstujtež mi, ať i já přijda, pokloním se jemu.
Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and make careful inquiry about the child, and as soon as you have found him bring me word, that I, too, may go and worship him."
9 Oni pak vyslyševše krále, jeli. A aj, hvězda, kterouž byli viděli na východu slunce, předcházela je, až i přišedši, stála nad domem, kdež bylo dítě.
The Magi listened to the king, and went on their way, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east led them until it came and stood over the place where the young child was.
10 A uzřevše hvězdu, zradovali se radostí velmi velikou.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with great gladness.
11 I všedše do domu, nalezli dítě s Marijí matkou jeho, a padše, klaněli se jemu; a otevřevše poklady své, obětovali jemu dary, zlato a kadidlo a mirru.
When they had entered the house, they saw the child with Mary, his mother, and opening their treasure-chests they gave him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 A od Boha napomenuti jsouce ve snách, aby se nenavraceli k Herodesovi, jinou cestou navrátili se do krajiny své.
But because they were forbidden by God in a dream to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another route.
13 Když pak oni odjeli, aj, anděl Páně ukázal se Jozefovi ve snách, řka: Vstana, vezmi dítě i matku jeho, a utec do Egypta, a buď tam, dokavadž nepovím tobě; neboť bude Herodes hledati dítě, aby je zahubil.
When they were gone an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying; "Rise! Take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and there remain until I bring you word; for Herod intends to make a search for the child, in order to put him to death."
14 Kterýžto vstav hned v noci, vzal dítě i matku jeho, a odšel do Egypta.
So Joseph arose, took the child and his mother, by night, and departed to Egypt.
15 A byl tam až do smrti Herodesovy, aby se naplnilo povědění Páně skrze proroka, řkoucího: Z Egypta povolal jsem Syna svého.
There he remained until the death of Herod, in order that the word of the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, Out of Egypt I called my son.
16 Tehdy Herodes uzřev, že by oklamán byl od mudrců, rozhněval se náramně, a poslav služebníky své, zmordoval všecky dítky, kteréž byly v Betlémě i ve všech končinách jeho, od dvouletých a níže, podle času, na kterýž se byl pilně vyptal od mudrců.
As soon as Herod saw that he had been mocked by the Magi, he was furious. He sent and put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and all the neighborhood who were two years old or under, in accordance with the date which he had ascertained from the Magi.
17 Tehdy naplněno jest to povědění Jeremiáše proroka, řkoucího:
Then were fulfilled the words 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, protože jich není.
A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and lamentation- Rachel weeping for her children, Inconsolable, because they were no more!
19 Když pak umřel Herodes, aj, anděl Páně ukázal se Jozefovi ve snách v Egyptě,
But after Herod’s death an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Řka: Vstana, vezmi dítě i matku jeho, a jdiž do země Izraelské; neboť jsou zemřeli ti, jenž hledali bezživotí dítěte.
saying, "Rise! Take the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the child are dead."
21 Kterýžto vstav, vzal dítě i matku jeho, a přišel do země Izraelské.
So he rose and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 A uslyšev, že by Archelaus kraloval v Judstvu místo Herodesa otce svého, obával se tam jíti; a napomenut jsa od Boha ve snách, obrátil se do krajin Galilejských.
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there; and being warned of God in a dream, he withdrew into Galilee and settled in a town called Nazareth,
23 A přišed, bydlil v městě, jenž slove Nazarét, aby se naplnilo, což povědíno bylo skrze proroky, že Nazaretský slouti bude.
in fulfillment of the word spoken through the Prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
