Matthæus 2
1 Men da Jesus var født i Bethlehem i Judæa, i Kong Herodes's Dage, se, da kom der vise fra Østerland til Jerusalem og sagde:
Now when Yeshua [Salvation] was born in Bethlehem [House of Bread] of Judea [Praise] in the days of King Herod [Heroic], behold, Magi [Conjurer] (Persian King makers, Astrologers) from the east came to Jerusalem [City of peace], saying,
2 „Hvor er den Jødernes Konge, som er født? thi vi have set hans Stjerne i Østen og ere komne for at tilbede ham.‟
“Where is he who is born King of the Jews [Praisers]? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
3 Men da Kong Herodes hørte det, blev han forfærdet, og hele Jerusalem med ham;
When King Herod [Heroic] heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem [City of peace] with him.
4 og han forsamlede alle Folkets Ypperstepræster og skriftkloge og adspurgte dem, hvor Kristus skulde fødes.
Gathering together all the chief priests and Torah-Teachers of the people, he asked them where the Messiah [Anointed one] would be born.
5 Og de sagde til ham: „I Bethlehem i Judæa; thi saaledes er der skrevet ved Profeten:
They said to him, “In Bethlehem [House of Bread] of Judea [Praise], for this is written through the prophet,
6 Og du, Bethlehem i Judas Land, er ingenlunde den mindste iblandt Judas Fyrster; thi af dig skal der udgaa en Fyrste, som skal vogte mit Folk Israel.‟
‘You Bethlehem [House of Bread], land of Judah [Praised], are in no way least among the princes of Judah [Praised]: for out of you shall come a governor, who shall shepherd my people, Israel [God prevails].’”
7 Da kaldte Herodes hemmeligt de vise og fik af dem nøje Besked om Tiden, da Stjernen havde ladet sig til Syne.
Then Herod [Heroic] secretly called the Magi [Conjurer] (Persian King makers, Astrologers), and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 Og han sendte dem til Bethlehem og sagde: „Gaar hen og forhører eder nøje om Barnet; men naar I have fundet det, da forkynder mig det, for at ogsaa jeg kan komme og tilbede det.‟
He sent them to Bethlehem [House of Bread], and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
9 Men da de havde hørt Kongen, droge de bort; og se, Stjernen, som de havde set i Østen, gik foran dem, indtil den kom og stod oven over, hvor Barnet var.
They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 Men da de saa Stjernen, bleve de saare meget glade.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 Og de gik ind i Huset og saa Barnet med dets Moder Maria og faldt ned og tilbade det og oplode deres Gemmer og ofrede det Gaver, Guld og Røgelse og Myrra.
They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary [Rebellion], his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Og da de vare blevne advarede af Gud i en Drøm, at de ikke skulde vende tilbage til Herodes, droge de ad en anden Vej tilbage til deres Land.
Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod [Heroic], they went back to their own country another route.
13 Men da de vare dragne bort, se, da viser en Herrens Engel sig i en Drøm for Josef og siger: „Staa op, og tag Barnet og dets Moder med dig og fly til Ægypten og bliv der, indtil jeg siger dig til; thi Herodes vil søge efter Barnet for at dræbe det.‟
Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of MarYah [Master Yahweh] appeared to Joseph [May he add] in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt [Abode of slavery], and stay there until I tell you, for Herod [Heroic] will seek the young child to destroy him.”
14 Og han stod op og tog Barnet og dets Moder med sig om Natten og drog bort til Ægypten.
He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt [Abode of slavery],
15 Og han var der indtil Herodes's Død, for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt af Herren ved Profeten, der siger: „Fra Ægypten kaldte jeg min Søn.‟
and was there until the death of Herod [Heroic]; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by MarYah [Master Yahweh] through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] I called my son.”
16 Da Herodes nu saa, at han var bleven skuffet af de vise, blev han saare vred og sendte Folk hen og lod alle Drengebørn ihjelslaa, som vare i Bethlehem og i hele dens Omegn, fra to Aar og derunder, efter den Tid, som han havde faaet Besked om af de vise.
Then Herod [Heroic], when he saw that he was mocked by the Magi [Conjurer] (Persian King makers, Astrologers), was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem [House of Bread] and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the Magi [Conjurer] (Persian King makers, Astrologers).
17 Da blev det opfyldt, som er talt ved Profeten Jeremias, som siger:
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah [Yah lifts up] the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 „En Røst blev hørt i Rama, Graad og megen Jamren; Rakel græd over sine Børn og vilde ikke lade sig trøste, thi de ere ikke mere.‟
“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel [Ewe sheep] is weeping for her children; and she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
19 Men da Herodes var død, se, da viser en Herrens Engel sig i en Drøm for Josef i Ægypten og siger:
But when Herod [Heroic] was dead, behold, an angel of MarYah [Master Yahweh] appeared in a dream to Joseph [May he add] in Egypt [Abode of slavery], saying,
20 „Staa op, og tag Barnet og dets Moder med dig, og drag til Israels Land; thi de ere døde, som efterstræbte Barnets Liv.‟
“Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel [God prevails], for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
21 Og han stod op og tog Barnet og dets Moder med sig og kom til Israels Land.
He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel [God prevails].
22 Men da han hørte, at Arkelaus var Konge over Judæa i sin Fader Herodes's Sted, frygtede han for at komme derhen; og han blev advaret af Gud i en Drøm og drog bort til Galilæas Egne.
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea [Praise] in the place of his father, Herod [Heroic], he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee [District, Circuit],
23 Og han kom og tog Bolig i en By, som kaldes Nazareth, for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeterne, at han skulde kaldes Nazaræer.
and came and lived in a city called Nazareth [Branch, Separated one]; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene [person from Branch, Separated one].”
