Matthew 2
1 Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in [the] days of Herod the king behold Magi from [the] east arrived in Jerusalem
Men da Jesus var født i Bethlehem i Judæa, i Kong Herodes's Dage, se, da kom der vise fra Østerland til Jerusalem og sagde:
2 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.
„Hvor er den Jødernes Konge, som er født? thi vi have set hans Stjerne i Østen og ere komne for at tilbede ham.‟
3 Having heard then King Herod he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him,
Men da Kong Herodes hørte det, blev han forfærdet, og hele Jerusalem med ham;
4 And having gathered together all the chief priests and scribes of the people he was inquiring of them where the Christ is born.
og han forsamlede alle Folkets Ypperstepræster og skriftkloge og adspurgte dem, hvor Kristus skulde fødes.
5 And they said to him; In Bethlehem of Judea. thus for it has been written through the prophet:
Og de sagde til ham: „I Bethlehem i Judæa; thi saaledes er der skrevet ved Profeten:
6 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.’
Og du, Bethlehem i Judas Land, er ingenlunde den mindste iblandt Judas Fyrster; thi af dig skal der udgaa en Fyrste, som skal vogte mit Folk Israel.‟
7 Then Herod secretly having called the Magi inquired exactly of them the time of the appearing star,
Da kaldte Herodes hemmeligt de vise og fik af dem nøje Besked om Tiden, da Stjernen havde ladet sig til Syne.
8 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.
Og han sendte dem til Bethlehem og sagde: „Gaar hen og forhører eder nøje om Barnet; men naar I have fundet det, da forkynder mig det, for at ogsaa jeg kan komme og tilbede det.‟
9 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.
Men da de havde hørt Kongen, droge de bort; og se, Stjernen, som de havde set i Østen, gik foran dem, indtil den kom og stod oven over, hvor Barnet var.
10 Having seen now the star they rejoiced [with] joy great exceedingly,
Men da de saa Stjernen, bleve de saare meget glade.
11 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.
Og de gik ind i Huset og saa Barnet med dets Moder Maria og faldt ned og tilbade det og oplode deres Gemmer og ofrede det Gaver, Guld og Røgelse og Myrra.
12 And having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another route they withdrew into the country of them.
Og da de vare blevne advarede af Gud i en Drøm, at de ikke skulde vende tilbage til Herodes, droge de ad en anden Vej tilbage til deres Land.
13 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.
Men da de vare dragne bort, se, da viser en Herrens Engel sig i en Drøm for Josef og siger: „Staa op, og tag Barnet og dets Moder med dig og fly til Ægypten og bliv der, indtil jeg siger dig til; thi Herodes vil søge efter Barnet for at dræbe det.‟
14 And having arisen he took the Child and the mother of Him by night and withdrew into Egypt,
Og han stod op og tog Barnet og dets Moder med sig om Natten og drog bort til Ægypten.
15 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.
Og han var der indtil Herodes's Død, for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt af Herren ved Profeten, der siger: „Fra Ægypten kaldte jeg min Søn.‟
16 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.
Da Herodes nu saa, at han var bleven skuffet af de vise, blev han saare vred og sendte Folk hen og lod alle Drengebørn ihjelslaa, som vare i Bethlehem og i hele dens Omegn, fra to Aar og derunder, efter den Tid, som han havde faaet Besked om af de vise.
17 Then was fulfilled that having been spoken (through *N(k)O*) Jeremiah the prophet saying;
Da blev det opfyldt, som er talt ved Profeten Jeremias, som siger:
18 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.
„En Røst blev hørt i Rama, Graad og megen Jamren; Rakel græd over sine Børn og vilde ikke lade sig trøste, thi de ere ikke mere.‟
19 When was dying now Herod behold an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
Men da Herodes var død, se, da viser en Herrens Engel sig i en Drøm for Josef i Ægypten og siger:
20 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.
„Staa op, og tag Barnet og dets Moder med dig, og drag til Israels Land; thi de ere døde, som efterstræbte Barnets Liv.‟
21 And having arisen he took the Child and the mother of Him and (entered *N(k)O*) into [the] land of Israel.
Og han stod op og tog Barnet og dets Moder med sig og kom til Israels Land.
22 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,
Men da han hørte, at Arkelaus var Konge over Judæa i sin Fader Herodes's Sted, frygtede han for at komme derhen; og han blev advaret af Gud i en Drøm og drog bort til Galilæas Egne.
23 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.
Og han kom og tog Bolig i en By, som kaldes Nazareth, for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeterne, at han skulde kaldes Nazaræer.
