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,
第三項 博士等の参拝 斯てイエズス、ヘロデ王の時、ユデアのベトレヘムに生れ給ひしかば、折しも博士等東方よりエルザレムに來りて、
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.
云ひけるは、生れたるユデア人の王は何處に在すぞ、即我等東方にて彼が星を見、之を拝みに來れり、と。
3 But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
ヘロデ王之を聞きて狼狽へしが、エルザレムも亦挙りて然ありき。
4 and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
王は司祭長と民間の律法學士とを悉く集めて、キリスト何處に生るべきかと問ひたるに、
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:
彼等云ひけるは、ユデアのベトレヘムに、其は預言者の録して、
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.
「ユダの地ベトレヘムよ、汝はユダの郡中に最も小き者には非ず、蓋我イスラエルの民を牧すべき君汝の中より出ん。」とあればなり、と。
7 Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;
其時ヘロデ密に博士等を召して、星の現れし時を聞匡し、
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.
彼等をベトレヘムに遣るとて云ひけるは、往きて詳に孩兒の事を尋ね、其を見出さば我に告げよ、我も往きて之を拝まん、と。
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.
彼等王の言を聴きて出行きけるに、折しも東方にて見たりし星彼等の先に立ち、終に孩兒の居る處に至りて其上に止れり。
10 And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
彼等其星を見て甚喜び、
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.
家に入りて孩兒の其母マリアと共に居るを見、平伏して之を拝し、寳箱を開きて黄金乳香没薬の禮物を献げたり。
12 And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
斯てヘロデに返ること勿れとの示を夢に得て、他の途より己が國に歸れり。
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.
第四項 聖家エジプトへ避難す 博士等の去りし後、折しも主の使ヨゼフの夢に現れて云ひけうるは、起きて孩兒と其母とを携へてエジプトに逃れ、我が汝に告ぐるまで彼處に居れ、其はヘロデ孩兒を殺さんとて之を索めんとすればなり、と。
14 And, having arisen, he took to [him] the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.
ヨゼフ起きて孩兒と其母とを携へて夜エジプトに避け、
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.
ヘロデの死するまで其處に居れり、是主より曾て預言者を以て云はれし事の成就せん為なり、曰く「我我子をエジプトより呼出せり」と。
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.
時にヘロデ、博士等に欺かれしを見て大に怒り、人を遣はして博士等に聞きたりし時を度りて、ベトレヘム及其四方に在る二歳以下の男児を悉く殺せり。
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying,
斯て預言者エレミアに依りて云はれたる事成就せり、
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.
曰く「ラマに聲あり、歎にして大なる叫なりけり、ラケル其子等を歎き、彼等の亡きに因り敢て慰を容れず」と。
19 But Herod having died, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
第五項 エジプトよりの歸國 ヘロデ死せしかば、折しも主の使エジプトに於てヨゼフの夢に現れ、
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.
云ひけるは、起きて孩兒と其母とを携へてイスラエルの地に往け、蓋孩兒の生命を索めし人々は既に死せり、と。
21 And he arose and took to [him] the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;
ヨゼフ起きて孩兒と其母とを携へ、イスラエルの地に至りしに、
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,
アルケラオ其父ヘロデに継ぎてユデアを治むと聞き、彼處に往く事を懼れしが、た夢に告ありてガリレアの地方に避け、
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.
ナザレトと云ふ街に至りて住めり。是預言者等によりて「彼はナザレト人と稱へられん」と云はれし事の成就せん為なり。
