Matthew 2
1 After the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem in Judea, in the reign of King Herod, some astrologers from the East arrived in Jerusalem, asking,
Pärast seda kui Jeesus oli sündinud Petlemmas Juudamaal kuningas Heroodese valitsemisajal, tulid targad mehed idast Jeruusalemma.
2 “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
„Kus on juutide kuningas, kes sündis?“küsisid nad. „Me nägime tema tähte idas ja tulime teda kummardama.“
3 When King Herod heard of this, he was much troubled, and so too was all Jerusalem.
Kui kuningas Heroodes sellest kuulis, muutus ta väga rahutuks ja kogu Jeruusalemm koos temaga.
4 He called together all the chief priests and teachers of the Law in the nation, and questioned them as to where the Christ was to be born.
Heroodes kutsus kokku kõik ülempreestrid ja rahva vaimulikud õpetajad ning küsis neilt, kus Messias pidi sündima.
5 “At Bethlehem in Judea,” was their answer, “for it is said in the prophet –
„Petlemmas Juudamaal, “vastasid nad talle, „sest nii kirjutas prohvet:
6 ‘And you, Bethlehem in Judah’s land, are in no way least among the chief cities of Judah, for out of you will come a ruler – who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
„Petlemm Juudamaal, sa ei ole kindlasti Juuda linnadest kõige tähtsusetum, sest sinust tuleb juht, kellest saab mu rahva Iisraeli karjane.““
7 Then Herod secretly sent for the astrologers. He found out from them the time of the appearance of the star.
Siis kutsus Heroodes targad mehed, rääkis nendega omaette ja uuris neilt täpselt, millal täht oli ilmunud.
8 Sending them to Bethlehem he said, “Go and make a careful search for the child. When you have found him, bring word back to me, so that I, too, can go and worship him.”
Ta saatis nad Petlemma sõnadega: „Kui te sinna jõuate, otsige laps üles. Kui te ta leiate, andke mulle teada, et ka mina saaksin minna teda kummardama.“
9 The astrologers heard what the king had to say, and then continued their journey. The star which they had seen in the east led them on, until it reached and stood over the place where the child was.
Pärast seda, kui nad olid ära kuulanud, mis kuningal öelda oli, läksid nad oma teed, ning täht, mida nad olid idas näinud, juhtis neid, kuni peatus täpselt selle paiga kohal, kus laps oli.
10 At the sight of the star they were filled with joy.
Kui nad nägid tähte, ei suutnud nad oma rõõmu tagasi hoida!
11 Entering the house, they saw the child with his mother, Mary, and fell at his feet and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests, and offered to the child presents of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Nad läksid majja ja nägid last koos tema ema Maarjaga. Nad põlvitasid ja kummardasid teda. Seejärel avasid nad oma aardekotid ning andsid talle kingiks kulda, viirukit ja mürri.
12 But afterward, having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another road.
Kui neid oli unenäos hoiatatud, et nad ei läheks Heroodese juurde tagasi, suundusid nad oma kodumaale teist teed mööda.
13 After they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and seek refuge in Egypt; and stay there until I tell you to return, for Herod is about to search for the child, to put him to death.”
Pärast nende lahkumist ilmus Issanda ingel unes Joosepile ja ütles talle: „Tõuse üles, võta laps ja tema ema ning põgene Egiptusesse. Jää sinna, kuni ma sulle ütlen, sest Heroodes hakkab last otsima, et teda tappa.“
14 Joseph woke up, and taking the child and his mother by night, went into Egypt,
Nõnda tõusis Joosep üles, võttis poisi ja tema ema ning hakkas öösel Egiptuse poole minema.
15 and there he stayed until Herod’s death. This was in fulfillment of these words of the Lord in the prophet, where he says – ‘Out of Egypt I called my Son.’
Sinna jäid nad kuni Heroodese surmani. Nii täitus see, mida Issand oli prohveti kaudu öelnud: „Ma kutsusin oma poja Egiptusest.“
16 When Herod found out that the astrologers had tricked him, he flew into a rage. He sent and put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and the whole of that region, who were two years old or under, guided by the time which he had learned from the astrologers.
Kui Heroodes mõistis, et targad olid teda petnud, sai ta väga vihaseks. Ta saatis mehed tapma kõiki Petlemma ja ümberkaudsete piirkondade väikseid poisse, kes olid kaheaastased ja nooremad. See tugines ajavahemikule, mille ta oli tarkadelt teada saanud.
17 Then were fulfilled these words spoken in the prophet Jeremiah, where he says –
Nii läks täide Jeremija prohvetikuulutus:
18 ‘A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and mourning loudly; Rachel, weeping for her children, refusing all comfort for they were dead.’
„Raamas kuuldakse kohutavat nutmist ja leinamist, Raahel nutab oma lapsi taga. Nad on surnud ja ta on lohutamatu.“
19 But, on the death of Herod, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said,
Pärast seda kui Heroodes suri, ilmus Issanda ingel unenäos Joosepile Egiptuses ja ütles talle:
20 “Get up, take the child and his mother, and go into the Land of Israel, for those who sought to take the child’s life are dead.”
„Tõuse üles! Võta laps ja tema ema ning mine tagasi Iisraeli maale, sest need, kes üritasid last tappa, on surnud.“
21 He woke up, and taking the child and his mother, went into the Land of Israel.
Nõnda siis Joosep tõusis, võttis poisi ja tema ema ning läks tagasi Iisraeli maale.
22 But, hearing that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod as king of Judea, he was afraid to go back there; and having been warned in a dream, he went into the part of the country called Galilee.
Kuid Joosep kartis sinna tagasi minna, kui ta oli teada saanud, et Arhelaos oli oma isa Heroodese järel Juudamaa kuningaks saanud. Kui Joosep oli saanud unenäos hoiatuse, läks ta Galilea piirkonda
23 There he settled in the town of Nazareth, in fulfillment of these words in the prophets – ‘He will be called a Nazarene.’
ja seadis end sisse Naatsaretis. Nii täitus see, mida prohvetid olid öelnud: „Teda nimetatakse naatsaretlaseks.“
