Matthew 2
1 And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi from the east came to Jerusalem,
NOW when Jeshu was born in Beth-lechem of Jehuda, in the days of Herodes the king, there came Magians from the East to Urishlem:
2 saying, “Where is He who was born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east, and we came to worship Him.”
and they said, Where is the king of the Jews who is born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,
But Herodes the king heard, and was troubled, and all Urishlem with him.
4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.
And he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and anxiously inquired of them where the Meshicha should be born.
5 And they said to him, “In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:
But they said, In Beth-lechem of Jehuda; for so it is written in the prophet:
6 And you, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, you are by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of you will come One leading, who will feed My people Israel.”
Also thou, Beth-lechem of Jehuda, wast not the least among the kings of Jehuda; for from thee shall come forth the king who shall be as a shepherd to my people Isroel.
7 Then Herod, having called the magi privately, inquired exactly from them the time of the appearing star,
Then Herodes privately called the Magians, and learned from them at what time the star appeared to them:
8 and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, “Having gone—inquire exactly for the Child, and whenever you may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may worship Him.”
and he sent them to Beth-lechem, and said to them, Go and inquire diligently concerning the child; and when you have found him, come, show me, and I also will go and will worship him.
9 And they, having heard the king, departed, and behold, the star, that they saw in the east, went before them, until, having come, it stood over where the Child was.
But they, when they had heard the king, went forth; and, lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, proceeded before them, until it came and stood over against where the child was.
10 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy,
Now when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
11 and having come into the house, they found the Child with His mother Mary, and having fallen down they worshiped Him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to Him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh,
And they entered the house, and beheld the child with Mariam his mother; and they fell down, and worshipped him. And they opened their treasures, and offered unto him oblations; gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
12 and having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
And it was shown to them in a dream, that they should not return unto Herodes; so, by another way, they went unto their place.
13 And on their having withdrawn, behold, a messenger of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, “Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and flee to Egypt, and be there until I may speak to you, for Herod is about to seek the Child to destroy Him.”
AND when they were gone, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream unto Jauseph, and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and flee into Metsreen, and there be until I tell thee; for it will be that Herodes will seek the child, that he may destroy him.
14 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
Then Jauseph arose, took up the child and his mother, and fled by night into Metsreen,
15 and he was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
and was there until the death of Herodes. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Metsreen have I called my son.
16 Then Herod, having seen that he was deceived by the magi, was very angry, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from the magi.
Then Herodes, when he saw that he had been deluded by the Magians, was greatly wroth, and sent (and) killed all the children of Beth-lechem, and all its limits, from two years and under, according to the time which he had inquired from the Magians.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Eramio the prophet, who said,
18 “A voice in Ramah was heard—weeping and much mourning—Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she would not be comforted because they are not.”
A cry was heard in Rometha; weeping and great lamentation; Rochel weeping for her children, and not willing to be comforted, because they are not.
19 And Herod having died, behold, a messenger of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
BUT when Herodes, the king, was dead, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Jauseph in Metsreen,
20 saying, “Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and be going to the land of Israel, for they have died—those seeking the life of the Child.”
and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Isroel; for they are dead who sought the life of the child.
21 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother, and came to the land of Israel,
And Jauseph arose, (and) took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Isroel.
22 and having heard that Archelaus reigns over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to the parts of Galilee,
But when he heard that Arkelaos was the king in Jehud, instead of Herodes his father, he was afraid to go thither: and it was shown to him in a dream, that he should go into the region of Galila.
23 and coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the Prophets, that “He will be called a Nazarene.”
And he came and dwelt in a city which is called Natsrath. So would be fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet, that a Nazarene he should be called.
