Matthew 2
1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem,
E, tendo nascido Jesus em Belém de Judeia, no tempo do rei Herodes, eis que uns magos vieram do oriente a Jerusalém,
2 saying: Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.
Dizendo: Onde está aquele que é nascido rei dos judeus? porque vimos a sua estrela no oriente, e viemos a adora-lo.
3 When Herod the king heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
E o rei Herodes, ouvindo isto, perturbou-se, e toda Jerusalém com ele.
4 And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
E, congregados todos os príncipes dos sacerdotes, e os escribas do povo, perguntou-lhes onde havia de nascer o Cristo.
5 And they said to him: In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet:
E eles lhe disseram: Em Belém de Judeia; porque assim está escrito pelo profeta:
6 And thou, Bethlehem, city of Judah, art by no means the least among the chiefs of Judah; for out of thee shall come a leader, that shall be a shepherd to my people Israel.
E tu, Belém, terra de Judá, de modo nenhum és a menor entre as capitães de Judá; porque de ti sairá o Guia que há de apascentar o meu povo de Israel.
7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the Magi, inquired of them strictly at what time the star, then visible, first made its appearance:
Então Herodes, chamando secretamente os magos, inquiriu exatamente deles acerca do tempo em que a estrela lhes aparecera.
8 and sending them to Bethlehem, he said: Go, make strict inquiry for the young child: and when you have found him, bring me word, that I also may go and do him homage.
E, enviando-os a Belém, disse: Ide, e perguntai diligentemente pelo menino, e, quando o achardes, participai-mo, para que também eu vá e o adore.
9 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 the place where the young child was.
E, tendo eles ouvido o rei, foram-se; e eis que a estrela, que tinham visto no oriente, ia adiante deles, até que, chegando, se deteve sobre o lugar onde estava o menino.
10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
E, vendo eles a estrela, alegraram-se muito com grande alegria.
11 And having come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother; and falling down, they did him homage. And when they had opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
E, entrando na casa, acharam o menino com Maria sua mãe, e, prostrando-se, o adoraram; e, abrindo os seus tesouros, lhe ofertaram dádivas: ouro, incenso e mirra.
12 And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another way.
E, sendo por divina revelação avisados em sonhos para que não voltassem para junto de Herodes, partiram para a sua terra por outro caminho.
13 When they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying: Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there till I bring you word; for Herod is about to seek for the young child, to destroy him.
E, tendo-se eles retirado, eis que o anjo do Senhor apareceu a José em sonhos, dizendo: Levanta-te, e toma o menino e sua mãe, e foge para o Egito, e demora-te lá até que eu te diga; porque Herodes há de procurar o menino para o matar.
14 And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
E, levantando-se ele, tomou o menino e sua mãe, de noite, e foi para o Egito,
15 and was there till the death of Herod; that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through his prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my Son.
E esteve lá até à morte de Herodes, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito da parte do Senhor pelo profeta, que diz: Do Egito chamei o meu Filho.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the Magi, was greatly enraged, and sent out and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem and in all its borders, from the age of two years and under, according to the time which he had strictly inquired of the Magi.
Então Herodes, vendo que tinha sido iludido pelos magos, irritou-se muito, e mandou matar todos os meninos que havia em Belém, e em todos os seus contornos, de idade de dois anos e menos, segundo o tempo que diligentemente inquirira dos magos.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Então se cumpriu o que foi dito pelo profeta Jeremias, que diz:
18 A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and weeping, and great mourning; Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted because they are no more.
Em Rama se ouviu uma voz, lamentação, choro e grande pranto: Rachel chorando os seus filhos, e não quis ser consolada, porque já não existem.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Morto porém Herodes, eis que o anjo do Senhor apareceu num sonho a José no Egito,
20 saying: Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they are dead who sought the young child’s life.
Dizendo: Levanta-te, e toma o menino e sua mãe, e vai para a terra de Israel; porque já estão mortos os que procuravam a morte do menino.
21 And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Então ele se levantou, e tomou o menino e sua mãe, e foi para a terra de Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither. But being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the regions of Galilee,
E, ouvindo que Archelau reinava na Judeia em lugar de Herodes, seu pai, receou ir para lá: mas avisado em sonho por divina revelação, foi para as partes da Galiléia.
23 and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets: He shall be called a Nazarene.
E chegou, e habitou numa cidade chamada Nazareth, para que se cumprisse o que fôra dito pelos profetas: Que se chamará Nazareno.
