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,
Cum ergo natus esset Iesus in Bethlehem Iuda in diebus Herodis regis, ecce Magi ab oriente venerunt Ierosolymam,
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.
dicentes: Ubi est qui natus est rex Iudæorum? vidimus enim stellam eius in oriente, et venimus adorare eum.
3 But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
Audiens autem Herodes rex, turbatus est, et omnis Ierosolyma cum illo.
4 and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
Et congregans omnes principes sacerdotum, et Scribas populi, sciscitabatur ab eis ubi Christus nasceretur.
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:
At illi dixerunt: In Bethlehem Iudæ: Sic enim scriptum est per prophetam:
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.
Et tu Bethlehem terra Iuda, nequaquam minima es in principibus Iuda: ex te enim exiet dux, qui regat populum meum Israel.
7 Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;
Tunc Herodes clam vocatis Magis diligenter didicit ab eis tempus stellæ, quæ apparuit eis:
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.
et mittens illos in Bethlehem, dixit: Ite, et interrogate diligenter de puero: et cum inveneritis, renunciate mihi, ut et ego veniens adorem eum.
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.
Qui cum audissent regem, abierunt. Et ecce stella, quam viderant in oriente, antecedebat eos, usque dum veniens staret supra, ubi erat puer.
10 And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Videntes autem stellam gavisi sunt gaudio magno valde.
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.
Et intrantes domum, invenerunt puerum cum Maria matre eius, et procidentes adoraverunt eum: et apertis thesauris suis obtulerunt ei munera, aurum, thus, et myrrham.
12 And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Et responso accepto in somnis ne redirent ad Herodem, per aliam viam reversi sunt in regionem suam.
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.
Qui cum recessissent, ecce Angelus Domini apparuit in somnis Ioseph, dicens: Surge, et accipe puerum, et matrem eius, et fuge in Ægyptum, et esto ibi usque dum dicam tibi. Futurum est enim ut Herodes quærat puerum ad perdendum eum.
14 And, having arisen, he took to [him] the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.
Qui consurgens accepit puerum, et matrem eius nocte, et secessit in Ægyptum:
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.
et erat ibi usque ad obitum Herodis: ut adimpleretur quod dictum est a Domino per prophetam dicentem: Ex Ægypto vocavi filium meum.
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.
Tunc Herodes videns quoniam illusus esset a Magis, iratus est valde, et mittens occidit omnes pueros, qui erant in Bethlehem, et in omnibus finibus eius a bimatu et infra secundum tempus, quod exquisierat a Magis.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying,
Tunc adimpletum est quod dictum est per Ieremiam prophetam dicentem:
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.
Vox in Rama audita est ploratus, et ululatus multus: Rachel plorans filios suos, et noluit consolari, quia non sunt.
19 But Herod having died, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Defuncto autem Herode, ecce Angelus Domini apparuit in somnis Ioseph in Ægypto,
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.
dicens: Surge, et accipe puerum, et matrem eius, et vade in terram Israel: defuncti sunt enim, qui quærebant animam pueri.
21 And he arose and took to [him] the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;
Qui consurgens, accepit puerum, et matrem eius, et venit in terram Israel.
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,
Audiens autem quod Archelaus regnaret in Iudæa pro Herode patre suo, timuit illo ire: et admonitus in somnis, secessit in partes Galilææ.
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.
Et veniens habitavit in civitate quæ vocatur Nazareth: ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per prophetas: Quoniam Nazaræus vocabitur.
