< Matthew 2 >
1 When Jesus then was borne at Bethleem in Iudea, in the dayes of Herod the King, beholde, there came Wisemen from the East to Hierusalem,
Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in [the] days of Herod the king behold Magi from [the] east arrived in Jerusalem
2 Saying, Where is that King of the Iewes that is borne? for wee haue seene his starre in the East, and are come to worship him.
saying; Where is the [One] having been born King of the Jews? We saw for His star in the east and are come to worship Him.
3 When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and all Hierusalem with him.
Having heard then King Herod he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him,
4 And gathering together all the chiefe Priestes and Scribes of the people, hee asked of them, where Christ should be borne.
And having gathered together all the chief priests and scribes of the people he was inquiring of them where the Christ is born.
5 And they saide vnto him, At Beth-leem in Iudea: for so it is written by the Prophet,
And they said to him; In Bethlehem of Judea. thus for it has been written through the prophet:
6 And thou Beth-leem in the lande of Iuda, art not the least among the Princes of Iuda: For out of thee shall come the gouernour that shall feede that my people Israel.
And you yourself Bethlehem land of Judah, by no means least are among the rulers of Judah; out of you for will go forth [One] leading who will shepherd the people of Mine Israel.’
7 Then Herod priuily called the Wisemen, and diligently inquired of them the time of the starre that appeared,
Then Herod secretly having called the Magi inquired exactly of them the time of the appearing star,
8 And sent them to Beth-leem, saying, Goe, and searche diligently for the babe: and when ye haue founde him, bring mee worde againe, that I may come also, and worship him.
And having sent them to Bethlehem he said; Having gone do search carefully for the Child. when then You may have found [Him], do bring word back to me so that I myself also I myself also having come may worship Him.
9 So when they had heard the King, they departed: and loe, the starre which they had seene in the East, went before them, till it came and stoode ouer the place where the babe was.
And having heard the king they went away. and behold the star which they saw in the east was going before them until having arrived (it was stood *N(k)O*) over where was the Child.
10 And when they sawe the starre, they reioyced with an exceeding great ioy,
Having seen now the star they rejoiced [with] joy great exceedingly,
11 And went into the house, and founde the babe with Mary his mother, and fell downe, and worshipped him, and opened their treasures, and presented vnto him giftes, euen golde, and frankincense, and myrrhe.
And having come into the house (they saw *NK(o)*) the Child with Mary the mother of Him, and having fallen down they worshiped Him, and having opened the treasures of them they offered to Him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And after they were warned of God in a dreame, that they should not go againe to Herod, they returned into their countrey another way.
And having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another route they withdrew into the country of them.
13 After their departure, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeareth to Ioseph in a dreame, saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there til I bring thee word: for Herod will seeke the babe, to destroy him.
When were withdrawing then they behold an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph saying; Having arisen do take the Child and the mother of Him and do flee into Egypt and do remain there until when I may tell you; is about for Herod is to seek the Child to destroy Him.
14 So he arose and tooke the babe and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
And having arisen he took the Child and the mother of Him by night and withdrew into Egypt,
15 And was there vnto the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, Out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.
and he was remaining there until the death of Herod, so that it may be fulfilled that having been spoken by (the *k*) Lord through the prophet saying; Out of Egypt I called the Son of mine.
16 Then Herod, seeing that he was mocked of the Wisemen, was exceeding wroth, and sent foorth, and slew all the male children that were in Beth-leem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two yeere old and vnder, according to the time which he had diligently searched out of the Wisemen.
Then Herod having seen that he had been outwitted by the Magi was enraged intensely, and having sent forth he executed all the boys that [were] in Bethlehem and in all the vicinity of it from two years old and under according to the time which he had ascertained from the Magi.
17 Then was that fulfilled which is spoken by the Prophet Ieremias, saying,
Then was fulfilled that having been spoken (through *N(k)O*) Jeremiah the prophet saying;
18 In Rhama was a voyce heard, mourning, and weeping, and great howling: Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not.
A voice in Ramah was heard, (lamentation and *K*) weeping and mourning great, Rachel weeping [for] the children of her, and not was willing to be comforted because no more they are.
19 And whe Herod was dead, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeareth in a dreame to Ioseph in Egypt,
When was dying now Herod behold an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
20 Saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and goe into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the babes life.
saying; Having arisen do take the Child and the mother of Him and do go into [the] land of Israel; they have died for those seeking the life of the Child.
21 Then he arose vp and tooke the babe and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
And having arisen he took the Child and the mother of Him and (entered *N(k)O*) into [the] land of Israel.
22 But whe he heard that Archelaus did reigne in Iudea in stead of his father Herod, he was afraide to go thither: yet after he was warned of God in a dreame, he turned aside into the parts of Galile,
Having heard now that Archelaus rules (upon *ko*) Judea in place of the father of him Herod he was afraid there to go. having been divinely warned now in a dream he withdrew into the district of Galilee,
23 And went and dwelt in a citie called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophets, which was, That hee should be called a Nazarite.
and having come he dwelt in a city being named Nazareth, so that it may be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophets that A Nazarene He will be called.
