Matius 2
1 Sesudah Yesus dilahirkan di Betlehem di tanah Yudea pada zaman raja Herodes, datanglah orang-orang majus dari Timur ke Yerusalem
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 dan bertanya-tanya: "Di manakah Dia, raja orang Yahudi yang baru dilahirkan itu? Kami telah melihat bintang-Nya di Timur dan kami datang untuk menyembah Dia."
“Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
3 Ketika raja Herodes mendengar hal itu terkejutlah ia beserta seluruh Yerusalem.
When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Maka dikumpulkannya semua imam kepala dan ahli Taurat bangsa Yahudi, lalu dimintanya keterangan dari mereka, di mana Mesias akan dilahirkan.
Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 Mereka berkata kepadanya: "Di Betlehem di tanah Yudea, karena demikianlah ada tertulis dalam kitab nabi:
They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
6 Dan engkau Betlehem, tanah Yehuda, engkau sekali-kali bukanlah yang terkecil di antara mereka yang memerintah Yehuda, karena dari padamulah akan bangkit seorang pemimpin, yang akan menggembalakan umat-Ku Israel."
‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
7 Lalu dengan diam-diam Herodes memanggil orang-orang majus itu dan dengan teliti bertanya kepada mereka, bilamana bintang itu nampak.
Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 Kemudian ia menyuruh mereka ke Betlehem, katanya: "Pergi dan selidikilah dengan seksama hal-hal mengenai Anak itu dan segera sesudah kamu menemukan Dia, kabarkanlah kepadaku supaya akupun datang menyembah Dia."
He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
9 Setelah mendengar kata-kata raja itu, berangkatlah mereka. Dan lihatlah, bintang yang mereka lihat di Timur itu mendahului mereka hingga tiba dan berhenti di atas tempat, di mana Anak itu berada.
They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 Ketika mereka melihat bintang itu, sangat bersukacitalah mereka.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 Maka masuklah mereka ke dalam rumah itu dan melihat Anak itu bersama Maria, ibu-Nya, lalu sujud menyembah Dia. Merekapun membuka tempat harta bendanya dan mempersembahkan persembahan kepada-Nya, yaitu emas, kemenyan dan mur.
They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Dan karena diperingatkan dalam mimpi, supaya jangan kembali kepada Herodes, maka pulanglah mereka ke negerinya melalui jalan lain.
Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 Setelah orang-orang majus itu berangkat, nampaklah malaikat Tuhan kepada Yusuf dalam mimpi dan berkata: "Bangunlah, ambillah Anak itu serta ibu-Nya, larilah ke Mesir dan tinggallah di sana sampai Aku berfirman kepadamu, karena Herodes akan mencari Anak itu untuk membunuh Dia."
Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
14 Maka Yusufpun bangunlah, diambilnya Anak itu serta ibu-Nya malam itu juga, lalu menyingkir ke Mesir,
He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
15 dan tinggal di sana hingga Herodes mati. Hal itu terjadi supaya genaplah yang difirmankan Tuhan oleh nabi: "Dari Mesir Kupanggil Anak-Ku."
and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
16 Ketika Herodes tahu, bahwa ia telah diperdayakan oleh orang-orang majus itu, ia sangat marah. Lalu ia menyuruh membunuh semua anak di Betlehem dan sekitarnya, yaitu anak-anak yang berumur dua tahun ke bawah, sesuai dengan waktu yang dapat diketahuinya dari orang-orang majus itu.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.
17 Dengan demikian genaplah firman yang disampaikan oleh nabi Yeremia:
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 "Terdengarlah suara di Rama, tangis dan ratap yang amat sedih; Rahel menangisi anak-anaknya dan ia tidak mau dihibur, sebab mereka tidak ada lagi."
“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she would not be comforted, because they are no more.”
19 Setelah Herodes mati, nampaklah malaikat Tuhan kepada Yusuf dalam mimpi di Mesir, katanya:
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 "Bangunlah, ambillah Anak itu serta ibu-Nya dan berangkatlah ke tanah Israel, karena mereka yang hendak membunuh Anak itu, sudah mati."
“Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
21 Lalu Yusufpun bangunlah, diambilnya Anak itu serta ibu-Nya dan pergi ke tanah Israel.
He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Tetapi setelah didengarnya, bahwa Arkhelaus menjadi raja di Yudea menggantikan Herodes, ayahnya, ia takut ke sana. Karena dinasihati dalam mimpi, pergilah Yusuf ke daerah Galilea.
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
23 Setibanya di sana iapun tinggal di sebuah kota yang bernama Nazaret. Hal itu terjadi supaya genaplah firman yang disampaikan oleh nabi-nabi, bahwa Ia akan disebut: Orang Nazaret.
and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.
