Matthew 2
1 When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.
Pärast seda kui Jeesus oli sündinud Petlemmas Juudamaal kuningas Heroodese valitsemisajal, tulid targad mehed idast Jeruusalemma.
2 Saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to adore him.
„Kus on juutide kuningas, kes sündis?“küsisid nad. „Me nägime tema tähte idas ja tulime teda kummardama.“
3 And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Kui kuningas Heroodes sellest kuulis, muutus ta väga rahutuks ja kogu Jeruusalemm koos temaga.
4 And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.
Heroodes kutsus kokku kõik ülempreestrid ja rahva vaimulikud õpetajad ning küsis neilt, kus Messias pidi sündima.
5 But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet:
„Petlemmas Juudamaal, “vastasid nad talle, „sest nii kirjutas prohvet:
6 And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the captain that shall rule 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, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;
Siis kutsus Heroodes targad mehed, rääkis nendega omaette ja uuris neilt täpselt, millal täht oli ilmunud.
8 And sending them into Bethlehem, said: Go and diligently inquire after the child, and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come to adore him.
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 Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the 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 seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Kui nad nägid tähte, ei suutnud nad oma rõõmu tagasi hoida!
11 And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, 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 having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country.
Kui neid oli unenäos hoiatatud, et nad ei läheks Heroodese juurde tagasi, suundusid nad oma kodumaale teist teed mööda.
13 And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.
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 Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:
Nõnda tõusis Joosep üles, võttis poisi ja tema ema ning hakkas öösel Egiptuse poole minema.
15 That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by 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 perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry; and sending killed all the men children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
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 by Jeremias the prophet, saying:
Nii läks täide Jeremija prohvetikuulutus:
18 A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing 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 when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt,
Pärast seda kui Heroodes suri, ilmus Issanda ingel unenäos Joosepile Egiptuses ja ütles talle:
20 Saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel. For they are dead that sought the life of the child.
„Tõuse üles! Võta laps ja tema ema ning mine tagasi Iisraeli maale, sest need, kes üritasid last tappa, on surnud.“
21 Who arose, and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Nõnda siis Joosep tõusis, võttis poisi ja tema ema ning läks tagasi Iisraeli maale.
22 But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither: and being warned in sleep retired into the quarters 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 coming he dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was said by prophets: That he shall be called a Nazarene.
ja seadis end sisse Naatsaretis. Nii täitus see, mida prohvetid olid öelnud: „Teda nimetatakse naatsaretlaseks.“
