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,
Cum ergo natus esset Iesus in Bethlehem Iuda in diebus Herodis regis, ecce Magi ab oriente venerunt Ierosolymam,
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.”
dicentes: Ubi est qui natus est rex Iudæorum? vidimus enim stellam eius in oriente, et venimus adorare eum.
3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,
Audiens autem Herodes rex, turbatus est, et omnis Ierosolyma cum illo.
4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.
Et congregans omnes principes sacerdotum, et Scribas populi, sciscitabatur ab eis ubi Christus nasceretur.
5 And they said to him, “In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:
At illi dixerunt: In Bethlehem Iudæ: Sic enim scriptum est per Prophetam:
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.”
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 called the magi privately, inquired exactly from them the time of the appearing star,
Tunc Herodes clam vocatis Magis diligenter didicit ab eis tempus stellæ, quæ apparuit eis:
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.”
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, departed, and behold, the star, that they saw in the east, went before them, until, having come, it stood over where the Child was.
Qui cum audissent regem, abierunt. et ecce stella, quam viderant in oriente, antecedebat eos, usquedum veniens staret supra, ubi erat puer.
10 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy,
Videntes autem stellam gavisi sunt gaudio magno valde.
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,
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 having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
Et responso accepto in somnis ne redirent ad Herodem, per aliam viam reversi sunt in regionem suam.
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.”
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 he, having risen, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
Qui consurgens accepit puerum, et matrem eius nocte, et secessit in Ægyptum:
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.”
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, 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.
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 by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Tunc adimpletum est quod dictum est per Ieremiam prophetam dicentem:
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.”
Vox in Rama audita est ploratus, et ululatus multus: Rachel plorans filios suos, et noluit consolari, quia non sunt.
19 And Herod having died, behold, a messenger of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Defuncto autem Herode, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis Ioseph in Ægypto,
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.”
dicens: Surge, et accipe puerum, et matrem eius, et vade in terram Israel: defuncti sunt enim, qui quærebant animam pueri.
21 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother, and came to the land of Israel,
Qui consurgens, accepit puerum, et matrem eius, et venit in terram Israel.
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,
Audiens autem quod Archelaus regnaret in Iudæa pro Herode patre suo, timuit illo ire: et admonitus in somnis, secessit in partes Galilææ.
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.”
Et veniens habitavit in civitate quæ vocatur Nazareth: ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Prophetas: Quoniam Nazaræus vocabitur.
