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
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,
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.
saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 Having heard then King Herod he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him,
And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And having gathered together all the chief priests and scribes of the people he was inquiring of them where the Christ is born.
And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
5 And they said to him; In Bethlehem of Judea. thus for it has been written through the prophet:
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
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.’
And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Which shall be shepherd of my people Israel.
7 Then Herod secretly having called the Magi inquired exactly of them the time of the appearing star,
Then Herod privily called the wise men, and learned of them carefully what time the star appeared.
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.
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out carefully concerning the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word, that I also may come and worship him.
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.
And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 Having seen now the star they rejoiced [with] joy great exceedingly,
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
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.
And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another route they withdrew into the country of them.
And being warned [of God] in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
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.
Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 And having arisen he took the Child and the mother of Him by night and withdrew into Egypt,
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt;
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.
and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son.
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.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully learned of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that having been spoken (through *N(k)O*) Jeremiah the prophet saying;
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
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.
A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 When was dying now Herod behold an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
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.
saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought the young child’s life.
21 And having arisen he took the Child and the mother of Him and (entered *N(k)O*) into [the] land of Israel.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
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,
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned [of God] in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,
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.
and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene.
