Matouš 2
1 Když se pak narodil Ježíš v Betlémě Judově, za dnů Herodesa krále, aj, mudrci od východu slunce přijeli do Jeruzaléma,
Jesus was born in Bethlehem [town] in Judea [province] during the time [MTY] that King Herod [the Great ruled there. Some time] after Jesus was born, some men who studied the stars and who lived in a [country] east [of Judea] came to Jerusalem.
2 Řkouce: Kde jest ten, kterýž se narodil Král Židovský? Nebo viděli jsme hvězdu jeho na východu slunce, a přijeli jsme klaněti se jemu.
They asked [people], “Where is the one who has been born [in order that he might be] the king of [you] Jews? [We believe that your new king] has been born, because we have seen the star [that we believe indicated that] he has been [born]. [We saw it while we were in our country] east [of here]. So we have come to worship him.”
3 To uslyšev Herodes král, zarmoutil se i všecken Jeruzalém s ním.
When King Herod heard [what those men were asking], he became worried [that someone else might be proclaimed] {[people might proclaim someone else]} [king of the Jews to replace him]. Many [of the people] of Jerusalem [MTY, HYP] [also] became worried [because they were afraid of what King Herod might do].
4 A svolav všecky přední kněží a učitele lidu, tázal se jich, kde by se Kristus měl naroditi.
Then Herod gathered together all the ruling priests and men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws and he asked them where [the prophets had predicted that] the Messiah was to be born.
5 Oni pak řekli jemu: V Betlémě Judově. Nebo tak jest psáno skrze proroka:
They said to him, “[He will be born] in Bethlehem, [here] in Judea [province], because it was written by the prophet [Micah] {the prophet [Micah] wrote} [long ago what God said]:
6 A ty Betléme, země Judská, nikoli nejsi nejmenší mezi knížaty Judskými; neboť z tebe vyjde Vývoda, kterýž pásti bude lid můj Izraelský.
‘You [who live in] Bethlehem [APO], in Judea [province], your town is certainly very important [LIT], because a man from your [town] will become a ruler. He will guide my people [who live in] Israel.’”
7 Tedy Herodes tajně povolav mudrců, pilně se jich ptal, kterého by se jim času hvězda ukázala.
Then [King] Herod secretly summoned those men who studied the stars. He asked them exactly when the star [first] appeared. [By what they told him, he was able to know the approximate age of the baby].
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 [concealed what he really planned to do and] said to them, “Go to Bethlehem and inquire thoroughly [where] the infant is. When you have found him, [come back and] report to me so that I, myself, can go [there and] worship him, too.”
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.
After the men heard what the king [told them], they went [toward Bethlehem]. To their surprise, the star that they had seen while they were in the eastern [country] went ahead of them [again] until it stood above [the house] where the child was.
10 A uzřevše hvězdu, zradovali se radostí velmi velikou.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced greatly [and followed it].
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.
They [found] the house and entered it and saw the child and his mother, Mary. They bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasure [boxes] [MTY] and they gave gold, [costly] frankincense, and myrrh to him.
12 A od Boha napomenuti jsouce ve snách, aby se nenavraceli k Herodesovi, jinou cestou navrátili se do krajiny své.
[Because] God [knew that King Herod planned to kill Jesus], in a dream the men who studied the stars were warned {he warned the men who studied the stars} that they should not return to [King] Herod. So they returned to their country, [but instead of traveling back on the same road, they] went on a different road.
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.
After the men who studied the stars left [Bethlehem], an angel [from] the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. He said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you [(sg) that you should leave], because [King] Herod is about [to send soldiers] to look for the child so that they can kill him.”
14 Kterýžto vstav hned v noci, vzal dítě i matku jeho, a odšel do Egypta.
So Joseph got up, he took the child and his mother [that] night, and they fled to Egypt.
15 A byl tam až do smrti Herodesovy, aby se naplnilo povědění Páně skrze proroka, řkoucího: Z Egypta povolal jsem Syna svého.
They stayed there until [King] Herod died, [and then they left Egypt]. By doing that, it was {they} fulfilled what the prophet [Hosea] wrote, which had been said by the Lord {which the Lord had said}, I have told my son to come out of Egypt.
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.
[While King] Herod [was still living], because he realized that he had been tricked by the men who studied the stars {the men who studied the stars had tricked him}, he became furious. Then, [assuming that Jesus was still in Bethlehem or the surrounding regions], Herod sent [soldiers there] to kill all the boy babies two years old and younger. [Herod calculated how old the baby was], according to what the men who studied the stars told him [about when the star first appeared].
17 Tehdy naplněno jest to povědění Jeremiáše proroka, řkoucího:
[Because Bethlehem and Ramah towns were in the area where the descendants of Jacob’s wife Rachel lived, when soldiers killed the infant boys], they fulfilled what Jeremiah the prophet wrote,
18 Hlas v Ráma slyšán jest, naříkání a pláč a kvílení mnohé; Ráchel plačící synů svých, a nedala se potěšiti, protože jich není.
[Women] in Ramah were weeping and wailing loudly. [Women who were the descendants] of Rachel, [the ancestor of the women there] [SYN], were grieving for [what happened to] their children. [Even though people tried to comfort them], they would not be comforted {stop mourning}, because their children were dead.
19 Když pak umřel Herodes, aj, anděl Páně ukázal se Jozefovi ve snách v Egyptě,
After Herod died [and while Joseph and his family were still in Egypt], an angel that the Lord [had sent] appeared to Joseph in Egypt in a dream.
20 Řka: Vstana, vezmi dítě i matku jeho, a jdiž do země Izraelské; neboť jsou zemřeli ti, jenž hledali bezživotí dítěte.
He said to Joseph, “Take the child and his mother and go back to Israel [to live], because the people who were looking for the child [in order to kill him] have died.”
21 Kterýžto vstav, vzal dítě i matku jeho, a přišel do země Izraelské.
So Joseph took the child and his mother, and they went back to 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.
When Joseph heard that Archaelaus now ruled in Judea [district] instead of his father, [King] Herod [the Great], he was afraid to go there. Because he was warned {[God] warned Joseph} in a dream [that it was still dangerous for them to live in Judea], he [and Mary and Jesus] went to Galilee [District]
23 A přišed, bydlil v městě, jenž slove Nazarét, aby se naplnilo, což povědíno bylo skrze proroky, že Nazaretský slouti bude.
to Nazareth [to live there]. The result was that what had been said by the ancient prophets {what the ancient prophets had said} [about the Messiah], that he would be called {people would call him} a Nazareth-man, was fulfilled {came true}.
