Matthew 2
1 Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,
Pärast seda kui Jeesus oli sündinud Petlemmas Juudamaal kuningas Heroodese valitsemisajal, tulid targad mehed idast Jeruusalemma.
2 Where is the king of the Jews that has been born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.
„Kus on juutide kuningas, kes sündis?“küsisid nad. „Me nägime tema tähte idas ja tulime teda kummardama.“
3 But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
Kui kuningas Heroodes sellest kuulis, muutus ta väga rahutuks ja kogu Jeruusalemm koos temaga.
4 and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
Heroodes kutsus kokku kõik ülempreestrid ja rahva vaimulikud õpetajad ning küsis neilt, kus Messias pidi sündima.
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:
„Petlemmas Juudamaal, “vastasid nad talle, „sest nii kirjutas prohvet:
6 And thou Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.
„Petlemm Juudamaal, sa ei ole kindlasti Juuda linnadest kõige tähtsusetum, sest sinust tuleb juht, kellest saab mu rahva Iisraeli karjane.““
7 Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;
Siis kutsus Heroodes targad mehed, rääkis nendega omaette ja uuris neilt täpselt, millal täht oli ilmunud.
8 and having sent them to Bethlehem, said, Go, search out accurately concerning the child, and when ye shall have found [him] bring me back word, so that I also may come and do him homage.
Ta saatis nad Petlemma sõnadega: „Kui te sinna jõuate, otsige laps üles. Kui te ta leiate, andke mulle teada, et ka mina saaksin minna teda kummardama.“
9 And they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it came and stood over the place where the little child was.
Pärast seda, kui nad olid ära kuulanud, mis kuningal öelda oli, läksid nad oma teed, ning täht, mida nad olid idas näinud, juhtis neid, kuni peatus täpselt selle paiga kohal, kus laps oli.
10 And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Kui nad nägid tähte, ei suutnud nad oma rõõmu tagasi hoida!
11 And having come into the house they saw the little child with Mary his mother, and falling down did him homage. And having opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Nad läksid majja ja nägid last koos tema ema Maarjaga. Nad põlvitasid ja kummardasid teda. Seejärel avasid nad oma aardekotid ning andsid talle kingiks kulda, viirukit ja mürri.
12 And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Kui neid oli unenäos hoiatatud, et nad ei läheks Heroodese juurde tagasi, suundusid nad oma kodumaale teist teed mööda.
13 Now, they having departed, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Arise, take to [thee] the little child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee; for Herod will seek the little child to destroy it.
Pärast nende lahkumist ilmus Issanda ingel unes Joosepile ja ütles talle: „Tõuse üles, võta laps ja tema ema ning põgene Egiptusesse. Jää sinna, kuni ma sulle ütlen, sest Heroodes hakkab last otsima, et teda tappa.“
14 And, having arisen, he took to [him] the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.
Nõnda tõusis Joosep üles, võttis poisi ja tema ema ning hakkas öösel Egiptuse poole minema.
15 And he was there until the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
Sinna jäid nad kuni Heroodese surmani. Nii täitus see, mida Issand oli prohveti kaudu öelnud: „Ma kutsusin oma poja Egiptusest.“
16 Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the magi, was greatly enraged; and sent and slew all the boys which [were] in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time which he had accurately inquired from the magi.
Kui Heroodes mõistis, et targad olid teda petnud, sai ta väga vihaseks. Ta saatis mehed tapma kõiki Petlemma ja ümberkaudsete piirkondade väikseid poisse, kes olid kaheaastased ja nooremad. See tugines ajavahemikule, mille ta oli tarkadelt teada saanud.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying,
Nii läks täide Jeremija prohvetikuulutus:
18 A voice has been heard in Rama, weeping, and great lamentation: Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
„Raamas kuuldakse kohutavat nutmist ja leinamist, Raahel nutab oma lapsi taga. Nad on surnud ja ta on lohutamatu.“
19 But Herod having died, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Pärast seda kui Heroodes suri, ilmus Issanda ingel unenäos Joosepile Egiptuses ja ütles talle:
20 Arise, take to [thee] the little child and its mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the little child are dead.
„Tõuse üles! Võta laps ja tema ema ning mine tagasi Iisraeli maale, sest need, kes üritasid last tappa, on surnud.“
21 And he arose and took to [him] the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;
Nõnda siis Joosep tõusis, võttis poisi ja tema ema ning läks tagasi Iisraeli maale.
22 but having heard that 'Archelaus reigns over Judaea, instead of Herod his father,' he was afraid to go there; and having been divinely instructed in a dream, he went away into the parts of Galilee,
Kuid Joosep kartis sinna tagasi minna, kui ta oli teada saanud, et Arhelaos oli oma isa Heroodese järel Juudamaa kuningaks saanud. Kui Joosep oli saanud unenäos hoiatuse, läks ta Galilea piirkonda
23 and came and dwelt in a town called Nazareth; so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, He shall be called a Nazaraene.
ja seadis end sisse Naatsaretis. Nii täitus see, mida prohvetid olid öelnud: „Teda nimetatakse naatsaretlaseks.“
