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,
E, tendo nascido Jesus em Belém de Judeia, no tempo do rei Herodes, eis que uns magos vieram do oriente a Jerusalém,
2 “Where is he who was born King of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”
Dizendo: Onde está aquele que é nascido rei dos judeus? porque vimos a sua estrela no oriente, e viemos a adora-lo.
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
E o rei Herodes, ouvindo isto, perturbou-se, e toda Jerusalém com ele.
4 Herod brought together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and he asked them, “Where is the Christ to be born?”
E, congregados todos os príncipes dos sacerdotes, e os escribas do povo, perguntou-lhes onde havia de nascer o Cristo.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is what was written by the prophet,
E eles lhe disseram: Em Belém de Judeia; porque assim está escrito pelo profeta:
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.'”
E tu, Belém, terra de Judá, de modo nenhum és a menor entre as capitães de Judá; porque de ti sairá o Guia que há de apascentar o meu povo de Israel.
7 Then Herod secretly called the learned men to ask them exactly what time the star had appeared.
Então Herodes, chamando secretamente os magos, inquiriu exatamente deles acerca do tempo em que a estrela lhes aparecera.
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.”
E, enviando-os a Belém, disse: Ide, e perguntai diligentemente pelo menino, e, quando o achardes, participai-mo, para que também eu vá e o adore.
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.
E, tendo eles ouvido o rei, foram-se; e eis que a estrela, que tinham visto no oriente, ia adiante deles, até que, chegando, se deteve sobre o lugar onde estava o menino.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
E, vendo eles a estrela, alegraram-se muito com grande alegria.
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.
E, entrando na casa, acharam o menino com Maria sua mãe, e, prostrando-se, o adoraram; e, abrindo os seus tesouros, lhe ofertaram dádivas: ouro, incenso e mirra.
12 God warned them in a dream not to return to Herod, so they departed to their own country by another way.
E, sendo por divina revelação avisados em sonhos para que não voltassem para junto de Herodes, partiram para a sua terra por outro caminho.
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.”
E, tendo-se eles retirado, eis que o anjo do Senhor apareceu a José em sonhos, dizendo: Levanta-te, e toma o menino e sua mãe, e foge para o Egito, e demora-te lá até que eu te diga; porque Herodes há de procurar o menino para o matar.
14 That night Joseph rose and took the young child and his mother and departed into Egypt.
E, levantando-se ele, tomou o menino e sua mãe, de noite, e foi para o Egito,
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.”
E esteve lá até à morte de Herodes, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito da parte do Senhor pelo profeta, que diz: Do Egito chamei o meu Filho.
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.
Então Herodes, vendo que tinha sido iludido pelos magos, irritou-se muito, e mandou matar todos os meninos que havia em Belém, e em todos os seus contornos, de idade de dois anos e menos, segundo o tempo que diligentemente inquirira dos magos.
17 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet,
Então se cumpriu o que foi dito pelo profeta Jeremias, que diz:
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.”
Em Rama se ouviu uma voz, lamentação, choro e grande pranto: Rachel chorando os seus filhos, e não quis ser consolada, porque já não existem.
19 When Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said,
Morto porém Herodes, eis que o anjo do Senhor apareceu num sonho a José no Egito,
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.”
Dizendo: Levanta-te, e toma o menino e sua mãe, e vai para a terra de Israel; porque já estão mortos os que procuravam a morte do menino.
21 Joseph rose, took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Então ele se levantou, e tomou o menino e sua mãe, e foi para a terra de 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
E, ouvindo que Archelau reinava na Judeia em lugar de Herodes, seu pai, receou ir para lá: mas avisado em sonho por divina revelação, foi para as partes da Galiléia.
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.
E chegou, e habitou numa cidade chamada Nazareth, para que se cumprisse o que fôra dito pelos profetas: Que se chamará Nazareno.
