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, there came certain wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
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."
saying, Where is the king of the Jews that is born here? for we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship Him.
3 Ketika raja Herodes mendengar hal itu terkejutlah ia beserta seluruh Yerusalem.
And when Herod the king 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.
and having summoned together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he enquired of them where the Messiah was to be born: and they told him, at Bethlehem in Judea;
5 Mereka berkata kepadanya: "Di Betlehem di tanah Yudea, karena demikianlah ada tertulis dalam kitab nabi:
for thus it is written by 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."
"And thou Bethlehem in the land of Juda art not the meanest among the cities of the princes of Juda; for out of thee shall come forth a ruler, that shall feed 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 called the wise men to him privately, and inquired of them exactly the time of the star's appearing:
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."
and sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go and make diligent search for the child, and when ye have found Him, let me know, 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.
When they had heard the king, they went: and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went on before them, till it came and stood over the place where the child was.
10 Ketika mereka melihat bintang itu, sangat bersukacitalah mereka.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding 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.
and coming into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they brought Him presents, of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Dan karena diperingatkan dalam mimpi, supaya jangan kembali kepada Herodes, maka pulanglah mereka ke negerinya melalui jalan lain.
And being warned of God in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back into 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."
And when they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Rise and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and continue there, untill I tell thee to return: for Herod will seek the child to destroy Him.
14 Maka Yusufpun bangunlah, diambilnya Anak itu serta ibu-Nya malam itu juga, lalu menyingkir ke Mesir,
And he arose and took the child and his mother by night, and went away 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 stayed there till the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spake by the prophet, saying, " Out of Egypt have 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 baffled by the wise-men, was very much enraged; and he sent and slew all the male-children in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly inquired of the wise-men.
17 Dengan demikian genaplah firman yang disampaikan oleh nabi Yeremia:
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet,
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."
saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
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 appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 "Bangunlah, ambillah Anak itu serta ibu-Nya dan berangkatlah ke tanah Israel, karena mereka yang hendak membunuh Anak itu, sudah mati."
saying, Arise and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they, that sought the child's life, are dead.
21 Lalu Yusufpun bangunlah, diambilnya Anak itu serta ibu-Nya dan pergi ke tanah Israel.
And he arose, and took the 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 reigned over Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither; however being warned of God in a dream, he retired into the district 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 he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
