Matthew 2
1 Now when Yeshua [Salvation] was born in Bethlehem [House of Bread] of Judea [Praise] in the days of King Herod [Heroic], behold, Magi [Conjurer] (Persian King makers, Astrologers) from the east came to Jerusalem [City of peace], saying,
第三項 博士等の参拝 斯てイエズス、ヘロデ王の時、ユデアのベトレヘムに生れ給ひしかば、折しも博士等東方よりエルザレムに來りて、
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews [Praisers]? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
云ひけるは、生れたるユデア人の王は何處に在すぞ、即我等東方にて彼が星を見、之を拝みに來れり、と。
3 When King Herod [Heroic] heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem [City of peace] with him.
ヘロデ王之を聞きて狼狽へしが、エルザレムも亦挙りて然ありき。
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and Torah-Teachers of the people, he asked them where the Messiah [Anointed one] would be born.
王は司祭長と民間の律法學士とを悉く集めて、キリスト何處に生るべきかと問ひたるに、
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem [House of Bread] of Judea [Praise], for this is written through the prophet,
彼等云ひけるは、ユデアのベトレヘムに、其は預言者の録して、
6 ‘You Bethlehem [House of Bread], land of Judah [Praised], are in no way least among the princes of Judah [Praised]: for out of you shall come a governor, who shall shepherd my people, Israel [God prevails].’”
「ユダの地ベトレヘムよ、汝はユダの郡中に最も小き者には非ず、蓋我イスラエルの民を牧すべき君汝の中より出ん。」とあればなり、と。
7 Then Herod [Heroic] secretly called the Magi [Conjurer] (Persian King makers, Astrologers), and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
其時ヘロデ密に博士等を召して、星の現れし時を聞匡し、
8 He sent them to Bethlehem [House of Bread], and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
彼等をベトレヘムに遣るとて云ひけるは、往きて詳に孩兒の事を尋ね、其を見出さば我に告げよ、我も往きて之を拝まん、と。
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.
彼等王の言を聴きて出行きけるに、折しも東方にて見たりし星彼等の先に立ち、終に孩兒の居る處に至りて其上に止れり。
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
彼等其星を見て甚喜び、
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary [Rebellion], his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
家に入りて孩兒の其母マリアと共に居るを見、平伏して之を拝し、寳箱を開きて黄金乳香没薬の禮物を献げたり。
12 Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod [Heroic], they went back to their own country another route.
斯てヘロデに返ること勿れとの示を夢に得て、他の途より己が國に歸れり。
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of MarYah [Master Yahweh] appeared to Joseph [May he add] in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt [Abode of slavery], and stay there until I tell you, for Herod [Heroic] will seek the young child to destroy him.”
第四項 聖家エジプトへ避難す 博士等の去りし後、折しも主の使ヨゼフの夢に現れて云ひけうるは、起きて孩兒と其母とを携へてエジプトに逃れ、我が汝に告ぐるまで彼處に居れ、其はヘロデ孩兒を殺さんとて之を索めんとすればなり、と。
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt [Abode of slavery],
ヨゼフ起きて孩兒と其母とを携へて夜エジプトに避け、
15 and was there until the death of Herod [Heroic]; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by MarYah [Master Yahweh] through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] I called my son.”
ヘロデの死するまで其處に居れり、是主より曾て預言者を以て云はれし事の成就せん為なり、曰く「我我子をエジプトより呼出せり」と。
16 Then Herod [Heroic], when he saw that he was mocked by the Magi [Conjurer] (Persian King makers, Astrologers), was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem [House of Bread] and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the Magi [Conjurer] (Persian King makers, Astrologers).
時にヘロデ、博士等に欺かれしを見て大に怒り、人を遣はして博士等に聞きたりし時を度りて、ベトレヘム及其四方に在る二歳以下の男児を悉く殺せり。
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah [Yah lifts up] the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
斯て預言者エレミアに依りて云はれたる事成就せり、
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel [Ewe sheep] is weeping for her children; and she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
曰く「ラマに聲あり、歎にして大なる叫なりけり、ラケル其子等を歎き、彼等の亡きに因り敢て慰を容れず」と。
19 But when Herod [Heroic] was dead, behold, an angel of MarYah [Master Yahweh] appeared in a dream to Joseph [May he add] in Egypt [Abode of slavery], saying,
第五項 エジプトよりの歸國 ヘロデ死せしかば、折しも主の使エジプトに於てヨゼフの夢に現れ、
20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel [God prevails], for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
云ひけるは、起きて孩兒と其母とを携へてイスラエルの地に往け、蓋孩兒の生命を索めし人々は既に死せり、と。
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel [God prevails].
ヨゼフ起きて孩兒と其母とを携へ、イスラエルの地に至りしに、
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea [Praise] in the place of his father, Herod [Heroic], he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee [District, Circuit],
アルケラオ其父ヘロデに継ぎてユデアを治むと聞き、彼處に往く事を懼れしが、た夢に告ありてガリレアの地方に避け、
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth [Branch, Separated one]; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene [person from Branch, Separated one].”
ナザレトと云ふ街に至りて住めり。是預言者等によりて「彼はナザレト人と稱へられん」と云はれし事の成就せん為なり。
