Matthew 2
1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, learned men from the east arrived in Jerusalem saying,
Cum ergo natus esset Iesus in Bethlehem Iuda in diebus Herodis regis, ecce Magi ab oriente venerunt Ierosolymam,
2 “Where is he who was born King of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”
dicentes: Ubi est qui natus est rex Iudaeorum? vidimus enim stellam eius in oriente, et venimus adorare eum.
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Audiens autem Herodes rex, turbatus est, et omnis Ierosolyma cum illo.
4 Herod brought together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and he asked them, “Where is the Christ to be born?”
Et congregans omnes principes sacerdotum, et Scribas populi, sciscitabatur ab eis ubi Christus nasceretur.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is what was written by the prophet,
At illi dixerunt ei: In Bethlehem Iuda: Sic enim scriptum est per Prophetam:
6 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the leaders of Judah, for from you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'”
Et tu Bethlehem terra Iuda, nequaquam minima es in principibus Iuda: ex te enim exiet dux, qui regat populum meum Israel.
7 Then Herod secretly called the learned men to ask them exactly what time the star had appeared.
Tunc Herodes clam vocatis Magis diligenter didicit ab eis tempus stellae, quae apparuit eis:
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search carefully for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
et mittens illos in Bethlehem, dixit: Ite, et interrogate diligenter de puero: et cum inveneritis, renunciate mihi, ut et ego veniens adorem eum.
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star that they had seen in the east went before them until it came and stood still over where the young child was.
Qui cum audissent regem, abierunt. et ecce stella, quam viderant in oriente, antecedebat eos, usquedum veniens staret supra, ubi erat puer.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
Videntes autem stellam gavisi sunt gaudio magno valde.
11 They went into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother. They fell down and worshiped him. They opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Et intrantes domum, invenerunt puerum cum Maria matre eius, et procidentes adoraverunt eum: et apertis thesauris suis obtulerunt ei munera, aurum, tus, et myrrham.
12 God warned them in a dream not to return to Herod, so they departed to their own country by another way.
Et responso accepto in somnis ne redirent ad Herodem, per aliam viam reversi sunt in regionem suam.
13 After they had departed, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the young child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Remain there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
Qui cum recessissent, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis Ioseph, dicens: Surge, accipe puerum, et matrem eius, et fuge in Aegyptum, et esto ibi usque dum dicam tibi. Futurum est enim ut Herodes quaerat puerum ad perdendum eum.
14 That night Joseph rose and took the young child and his mother and departed into Egypt.
Qui consurgens accepit puerum, et matrem eius nocte, et secessit in Aegyptum:
15 He remained there until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet, “Out of Egypt I have called my son.”
et erat ibi usque ad obitum Herodis: ut adimpleretur quod dictum est a Domino per Prophetam dicentem: Ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been mocked by the learned men, was very angry. He sent and killed all the male children that were in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old and under, according to the time that he had determined exactly from the learned men.
Tunc Herodes videns quoniam illusus esset a Magis, iratus est valde, et mittens occidit omnes pueros, qui erant in Bethlehem, et in omnibus finibus eius a bimatu et infra secundum tempus, quod exquisierat a Magis.
17 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet,
Tunc adimpletum est quod dictum est per Ieremiam prophetam dicentem:
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and she refused to be comforted, because they were no more.”
Vox in Rama audita est ploratus, et ululatus multus: Rachel plorans filios suos, et noluit consolari, quia non sunt.
19 When Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said,
Defuncto autem Herode, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis Ioseph in Aegypto,
20 “Get up and take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.”
dicens: Surge, et accipe puerum, et matrem eius, et vade in terram Israel: defuncti sunt enim, qui quaerebant animam pueri.
21 Joseph rose, took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Qui consurgens, accepit puerum, et matrem eius, et venit in terram Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. After God warned him in a dream, he left for the region of Galilee
Audiens autem quod Archelaus regnaret in Iudaea pro Herode patre suo, timuit illo ire: et admonitus in somnis, secessit in partes Galilaeae.
23 and went and lived in a city called Nazareth. This fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.
Et veniens habitavit in civitate quae vocatur Nazareth: ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Prophetas: Quoniam Nazaraeus vocabitur.
