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.
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 are come to adore him.
Dizendo: Onde está aquele que é nascido rei dos judeus? porque vimos a sua estrela no oriente, e viemos a adora-lo.
3 And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
E o rei Herodes, ouvindo isto, perturbou-se, e toda Jerusalém com ele.
4 And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where 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 But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet:
E eles lhe disseram: Em Belém de Judeia; porque assim está escrito pelo profeta:
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.
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, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;
Então Herodes, chamando secretamente os magos, inquiriu exatamente deles acerca do tempo em que a estrela lhes aparecera.
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.
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 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.
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 seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
E, vendo eles a estrela, alegraram-se muito com grande alegria.
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.
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 received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country.
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 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.
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 Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:
E, levantando-se ele, tomou o menino e sua mãe, de noite, e foi para o Egito,
15 That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the 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 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.
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 Jeremias the prophet, saying:
Então se cumpriu o que foi dito pelo profeta Jeremias, que diz:
18 A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
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 sleep 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 child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel. For they are dead that sought the life of the child.
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 Who arose, and took the 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 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.
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 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.
E chegou, e habitou numa cidade chamada Nazareth, para que se cumprisse o que fôra dito pelos profetas: Que se chamará Nazareno.
