Matthew 2
1 And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came 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 saying, 'Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.'
rekoč: »Kje je tisti judovski Kralj, ki je rojen? Kajti njegovo zvezdo smo videli na vzhodu in prišli smo, da ga obožujemo.«
3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,
Ko je kralj Herod slišal te besede, je bil zaskrbljen in z njim ves Jeruzalem.
4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.
In ko je zbral skupaj vse visoke duhovnike in pisarje izmed ljudstva, jih je povprašal, kje naj bi bil Kristus rojen.
5 And they said to him, 'In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it hath been written through the prophet,
Rekli so mu: »V judejskem Betlehemu, kajti tako je napisano po preroku:
6 And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee shall come one leading, who shall feed My people 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 Then Herod, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star,
Tedaj je Herod, ko je na skrivnem poklical modre može, od njih marljivo poizvedel, kdaj se je zvezda prikazala.
8 and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, 'Having gone — inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.'
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 they, having heard the king, departed, and lo, the star, that they did see in the east, did go before them, till, having come, it stood over 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 having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy,
Ko so zagledali zvezdo, so se razveselili s silno veliko radostjo.
11 and having come to the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down they bowed to him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh,
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 having been divinely warned in a dream not to turn back unto Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
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 on their having withdrawn, lo, a messenger of the Lord doth appear in a dream to Joseph, saying, 'Having risen, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and be thou there till I may speak to thee, for Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.'
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 he, having risen, took the child and his mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
Ko je vstal, je ponoči vzel mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter odšel v Egipt
15 and he was there till the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 'Out of Egypt I did call My Son.'
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 Then Herod, having seen that he was deceived by the mages, was very wroth, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from the mages.
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 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Tedaj je bilo izpolnjeno to, kar je bilo rečeno po preroku Jeremiju, rekoč:
18 'A voice in Ramah was heard — lamentation and weeping and much mourning — Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she would not be comforted because they are not.'
›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 And Herod having died, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream doth appear to Joseph in Egypt,
Toda ko je bil Herod mrtev, glej, se Gospodov angel prikaže Jožefu v sanjah v Egiptu,
20 saying, 'Having risen, take the child and his mother, and be going to the land of Israel, for they have died — those seeking the life of the child.'
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 And he, having risen, took the child and his mother, and came to the land of Israel,
In vstal je in vzel mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter prišel v Izraelovo deželo.
22 and having heard that Archelaus doth reign over Judea instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither, and having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to the parts 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 coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophets, that 'A Nazarene he shall be called.'
In prišel ter bival v mestu, imenovanem Nazaret, da se je lahko izpolnilo, kar je bilo rečeno po prerokih: »Imenoval se bo Nazarečan.«
