< Matthew 2 >

1 Therfor whanne Jhesus was borun in Bethleem of Juda, in the daies of king Eroude, lo! astromyenes camen fro the eest to Jerusalem,
Ko je bil torej Jezus rojen v Betlehemu, v Judeji, v dneh kralja Heroda, glej, so od vzhoda v Jeruzalem prišli modri možje,
2 and seiden, Where is he, that is borun king of Jewis? for we han seyn his sterre in the eest, and we comen to worschipe him.
rekoč: »Kje je tisti judovski Kralj, ki je rojen? Kajti njegovo zvezdo smo videli na vzhodu in prišli smo, da ga obožujemo.«
3 But king Eroude herde, and was trublid, and al Jerusalem with hym.
Ko je kralj Herod slišal te besede, je bil zaskrbljen in z njim ves Jeruzalem.
4 And he gaderide to gidre alle the prynces of prestis, and scribis of the puple, and enqueride of hem, where Crist shulde be borun.
In ko je zbral skupaj vse visoke duhovnike in pisarje izmed ljudstva, jih je povprašal, kje naj bi bil Kristus rojen.
5 And thei seiden to hym, In Bethleem of Juda; for so it is writun bi a profete,
Rekli so mu: »V judejskem Betlehemu, kajti tako je napisano po preroku:
6 And thou, Bethleem, the lond of Juda, art not the leest among the prynces of Juda; for of thee a duyk schal go out, that schal gouerne my puple of Israel.
›In ti Betlehem, v deželi Judovi, nisi najmanjši med Judovimi princi, kajti iz tebe bo prišel Voditelj, ki bo vladal mojemu ljudstvu Izraelu.‹«
7 Thanne Eroude clepide pryueli the astromyens, and lernyde bisili of hem the tyme of the sterre that apperide to hem.
Tedaj je Herod, ko je na skrivnem poklical modre može, od njih marljivo poizvedel, kdaj se je zvezda prikazala.
8 And he sente hem in to Bethleem, and seide, Go ye, and axe ye bisili of the child, and whanne yee han foundun, telle ye it to me, that Y also come, and worschipe hym.
In poslal jih je v Betlehem ter rekel: »Pojdite in marljivo iščite za mladim otrokom in ko ga boste našli, mi ponovno prinesite sporočilo, da lahko tudi jaz pridem in ga obožujem.«
9 And whanne thei hadden herd the kyng, thei wenten forth. And lo! the sterre, that thei siyen in the eest, wente bifore hem, til it cam, and stood aboue, where the child was.
Ko so slišali kralja, so odšli. In glej, zvezda, ki so jo videli na vzhodu, je šla pred njimi, dokler ni prišla in obstala zgoraj, kjer je bil mladi otrok.
10 And thei siyen the sterre, and ioyeden with a ful greet ioye.
Ko so zagledali zvezdo, so se razveselili s silno veliko radostjo.
11 And thei entriden in to the hous, and founden the child with Marie, his modir; and thei felden doun, and worschipiden him. And whanne thei hadden openyd her tresouris, thei offryden to hym yiftis, gold, encense, and myrre.
In ko so prišli v hišo, so zagledali mladega otroka z Marijo, njegovo materjo in padli dol ter ga oboževali. In ko so odprli svoje zaklade, so mu izročili darila: zlato in kadilo in miro.
12 And whanne thei hadden take an aunswere in sleep, that thei schulden not turne ayen to Eroude, thei turneden ayen bi anothir weie in to her cuntrey.
In od Boga v sanjah posvarjeni, da naj se ne bi vrnili k Herodu, so po drugi poti odšli v svojo lastno deželo.
13 And whanne thei weren goon, lo! the aungel of the Lord apperide to Joseph in sleep, and seide, Rise vp, and take the child and his modir, and fle in to Egipt, and be thou there, til that I seie to thee; for it is to come, that Eroude seke the child, to destrie hym.
In ko so odšli, glej, se je Jožefu v sanjah prikazal Gospodov angel, rekoč: »Vstani in vzemi mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter beži v Egipt in bodi tam, dokler ti ne prinesem besede, kajti Herod bo mladega otroka iskal, da ga pokonča.«
14 And Joseph roos, and took the child and his modir bi nyyt, and wente in to Egipt,
Ko je vstal, je ponoči vzel mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter odšel v Egipt
15 and he was there to the deeth of Eroude; that it schulde be fulfillid, that was seid of the Lord bi the profete, seiynge, Fro Egipt Y haue clepid my sone.
in tam je bil do Herodove smrti, da bi se lahko izpolnilo, kar je bilo rečeno od Gospoda po preroku, rekoč: »Iz Egipta sem poklical svojega sina.«
16 Thanne Eroude seynge that he was disseyued of the astromyens, was ful wrooth; and he sente, and slowe alle the children, that weren in Bethleem, and in alle the coostis therof, fro two yeer age and with inne, aftir the tyme that he had enquerid of the astromyens.
Potem je bil Herod, ko je videl, da je bil zasmehovan od modrih mož, silno ogorčen in poslal ter usmrtil vse otroke, ki so bili v Betlehemu in v vseh teh krajih, od dveh let starosti in mlajše, glede na čas, ki ga je marljivo poizvedel od modrih mož.
17 Thanne `it was fulfillid, that was seid bi Jeremye, the profete,
Tedaj je bilo izpolnjeno to, kar je bilo rečeno po preroku Jeremiju, rekoč:
18 seiynge, A vois was herd an hiy, wepynge and moche weilyng, Rachel biwepynge hir sones, and she wolde not be coumfortid, for thei ben noyt.
›Tam v Rami je bilo slišati glas, objokovanje in jokanje ter veliko žalovanje. Rahela je jokala za svojimi otroki, pa ne bo potolažena, ker jih ni več.‹
19 But whanne Eroude was deed, loo! the aungel of the Lord apperide to Joseph in sleep in Egipt,
Toda ko je bil Herod mrtev, glej, se Gospodov angel prikaže Jožefu v sanjah v Egiptu,
20 and seide, Ryse vp, and take the child and his modir, and go in to the lond of Israel; for thei that souyten the lijf of the chijld ben deed.
rekoč: »Vstani in vzemi mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter pojdi v Izraelovo deželo, kajti tisti, ki so mlademu otroku stregli po življenju, so mrtvi.«
21 Joseph roos, and took the child and his modir, and cam in to the loond of Israel.
In vstal je in vzel mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter prišel v Izraelovo deželo.
22 And he herde that Archilaus regnede in Judee for Eroude, his fadir, and dredde to go thidir. And he was warned in sleep, and wente in to the parties of Galilee;
Toda ko je slišal, da je Arhelaj vladal v Judeji namesto svojega očeta Heroda, se je bal iti tja; in v sanjah od Boga posvarjen, se je obrnil proč, v galilejske kraje.
23 and cam, and dwelte in a citee, that ys clepid Nazareth, that it shulde be fulfillid, that was seid bi profetis, For he shal be clepid a Nazarey.
In prišel ter bival v mestu, imenovanem Nazaret, da se je lahko izpolnilo, kar je bilo rečeno po prerokih: »Imenoval se bo Nazarečan.«
