< Matthew 2 >
1 Jesus was born in Bethlehem [town] in Judea [province] during the time [MTY] that King Herod [the Great ruled there. Some time] after Jesus was born, some men who studied the stars and who lived in a [country] east [of Judea] came to Jerusalem.
A gdy się Jezus narodził w Betlehemie Judzkiem za dnia Heroda króla, oto mędrcy ze wschodu słońca przybyli do Jeruzalemu, mówiąc:
2 They asked [people], “Where is the one who has been born [in order that he might be] the king of [you] Jews? [We believe that your new king] has been born, because we have seen the star [that we believe indicated that] he has been [born]. [We saw it while we were in our country] east [of here]. So we have come to worship him.”
Gdzież jest ten, który się narodził, król żydowski? Bośmy widzieli gwiazdę jego na wschód słońca, i przyjechaliśmy, abyśmy mu się pokłonili.
3 When King Herod heard [what those men were asking], he became worried [that someone else might be proclaimed] {[people might proclaim someone else]} [king of the Jews to replace him]. Many [of the people] of Jerusalem [MTY, HYP] [also] became worried [because they were afraid of what King Herod might do].
Co gdy król Herod usłyszał, zatrwożył się, i wszystko Jeruzalem z nim.
4 Then Herod gathered together all the ruling priests and men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws and he asked them where [the prophets had predicted that] the Messiah was to be born.
Przetoż zebrawszy wszystkie przedniejsze kapłany i nauczyciele ludu, dowiadywał się od nich, gdzie by się miał Chrystus narodzić.
5 They said to him, “[He will be born] in Bethlehem, [here] in Judea [province], because it was written by the prophet [Micah] {the prophet [Micah] wrote} [long ago what God said]:
A oni mu rzekli: W Betlehemie Judzkiem: bo tak napisano przez proroka:
6 ‘You [who live in] Bethlehem [APO], in Judea [province], your town is certainly very important [LIT], because a man from your [town] will become a ruler. He will guide my people [who live in] Israel.’”
I ty Betlehemie, ziemio Judzka! żadną miarą nie jesteś najmniejsze między książęty Judzkimi; albowiem z ciebie wynijdzie wódz, który rządzić będzie lud mój Izraelski.
7 Then [King] Herod secretly summoned those men who studied the stars. He asked them exactly when the star [first] appeared. [By what they told him, he was able to know the approximate age of the baby].
Tedy Herod wezwawszy potajemnie onych mędrców, pilnie się wywiadywał od nich o czasie, którego się gwiazda ukazała.
8 Then he [concealed what he really planned to do and] said to them, “Go to Bethlehem and inquire thoroughly [where] the infant is. When you have found him, [come back and] report to me so that I, myself, can go [there and] worship him, too.”
A posławszy je do Betlehemu, rzekł: Jechawszy, pilnie się wywiadujcie o tem dzieciątku; a gdy znajdziecie, oznajmijcie mi, abym i ja przyjechawszy, pokłonił mu się.
9 After the men heard what the king [told them], they went [toward Bethlehem]. To their surprise, the star that they had seen while they were in the eastern [country] went ahead of them [again] until it stood above [the house] where the child was.
Oni tedy, wysłuchawszy króla, poszli; a oto ona gwiazda, którą widzieli na wschód słońca, prowadziła je, aż przyszedłszy, stanęła nad miejscem, gdzie było dzieciątko;
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced greatly [and followed it].
A gdy ujrzeli onę gwiazdę, uradowali się radością bardzo wielką;
11 They [found] the house and entered it and saw the child and his mother, Mary. They bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasure [boxes] [MTY] and they gave gold, [costly] frankincense, and myrrh to him.
I wszedłszy w dom, znaleźli dzieciątko z Maryją, matką jego, a upadłszy, pokłonili mu się, i otworzywszy skarby swoje, ofiarowali mu dary: złoto i kadzidło i myrrę.
12 [Because] God [knew that King Herod planned to kill Jesus], in a dream the men who studied the stars were warned {he warned the men who studied the stars} that they should not return to [King] Herod. So they returned to their country, [but instead of traveling back on the same road, they] went on a different road.
Lecz będąc upomnieni od Boga we śnie, aby się nie wracali do Heroda, inszą drogą wrócili się do krainy swojej.
13 After the men who studied the stars left [Bethlehem], an angel [from] the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. He said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you [(sg) that you should leave], because [King] Herod is about [to send soldiers] to look for the child so that they can kill him.”
A gdy oni odeszli, oto Anioł Pański ukazał się we śnie Józefowi mówiąc: Wstawszy, weźmij to dzieciątko i matkę jego, a uciecz do Egiptu, a bądź tam, aż ci powiem; albowiem Herod będzie szukał dzieciątka, aby je zatracił.
14 So Joseph got up, he took the child and his mother [that] night, and they fled to Egypt.
Który wstawszy, wziął dzieciątko i matkę jego w nocy, i uszedł do Egiptu;
15 They stayed there until [King] Herod died, [and then they left Egypt]. By doing that, it was {they} fulfilled what the prophet [Hosea] wrote, which had been said by the Lord {which the Lord had said}, I have told my son to come out of Egypt.
I był tam aż do śmierci Herodowej, aby się wypełniło, co powiedziano od Pana przez proroka, mówiącego: Z Egiptum wezwał syna mego.
16 [While King] Herod [was still living], because he realized that he had been tricked by the men who studied the stars {the men who studied the stars had tricked him}, he became furious. Then, [assuming that Jesus was still in Bethlehem or the surrounding regions], Herod sent [soldiers there] to kill all the boy babies two years old and younger. [Herod calculated how old the baby was], according to what the men who studied the stars told him [about when the star first appeared].
Tedy Herod ujrzawszy, że był oszukany od mędrców, rozgniewał się bardzo, a posławszy pobił wszystkie dziatki, które były w Betlehemie i po wszystkich granicach jego, od dwóch lat i niżej, według czasu, o którym się był pilnie wywiedział od mędrców.
17 [Because Bethlehem and Ramah towns were in the area where the descendants of Jacob’s wife Rachel lived, when soldiers killed the infant boys], they fulfilled what Jeremiah the prophet wrote,
Tedy się wypełniło, co powiedziano przez Jeremijasza proroka, mówiącego:
18 [Women] in Ramah were weeping and wailing loudly. [Women who were the descendants] of Rachel, [the ancestor of the women there] [SYN], were grieving for [what happened to] their children. [Even though people tried to comfort them], they would not be comforted {stop mourning}, because their children were dead.
Głos w Ramie słyszany jest, lament, i płacz, i narzekanie wielkie: Rachel płacząca synów swoich nie dała się pocieszyć, przeto, że ich nie masz.
19 After Herod died [and while Joseph and his family were still in Egypt], an angel that the Lord [had sent] appeared to Joseph in Egypt in a dream.
A gdy umarł Herod, oto Anioł Pański ukazał się we śnie Józefowi w Egipcie,
20 He said to Joseph, “Take the child and his mother and go back to Israel [to live], because the people who were looking for the child [in order to kill him] have died.”
Mówiąc: Wstawszy, weźmij dzieciątko i matkę jego, a idź do ziemi Izraelskiej; albowiem pomarli ci, którzy szukali duszy dziecięcej.
21 So Joseph took the child and his mother, and they went back to Israel.
A on wstawszy, wziął do siebie dzieciątko i matkę jego, i przyszedł do ziemi Izraelskiej.
22 When Joseph heard that Archaelaus now ruled in Judea [district] instead of his father, [King] Herod [the Great], he was afraid to go there. Because he was warned {[God] warned Joseph} in a dream [that it was still dangerous for them to live in Judea], he [and Mary and Jesus] went to Galilee [District]
Lecz gdy usłyszał, iż Archelaus królował w Judzkiej ziemi na miejscu Heroda, ojca swego, bał się tam iść; ale napomniany będąc od Boga we śnie, ustąpił w strony Galilejskie;
23 to Nazareth [to live there]. The result was that what had been said by the ancient prophets {what the ancient prophets had said} [about the Messiah], that he would be called {people would call him} a Nazareth-man, was fulfilled {came true}.
I przyszedłszy mieszkał w mieście, które zowią Nazaret, aby się wypełniło co powiedziano przez proroki: Iż Nazarejczykiem nazwany będzie.
