< Mateja Evaņg̒elijs 2 >

1 Un kad Jēzus bija dzimis Bētlemē iekš Jūdu zemes ķēniņa Hērodus laikā, redzi, tad gudri (vīri) no austruma zemes nāca uz Jeruzālemi un sacīja:
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 Kur ir Tas piedzimušais Jūdu ķēniņš? Jo mēs Viņa zvaigzni esam redzējuši austruma zemē un nākuši, Viņu pielūgt.
“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 Kad ķēniņš Hērodus to dzirdēja, tad viņš izbijās un visa Jeruzāleme līdz ar viņu.
When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Un saaicinājis visus Jūdu augstos priesterus un rakstu mācītājus, viņš izklausināja no tiem, kur Kristum bija dzimt.
Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 Un tie tam sacīja: “Bētlemē iekš Jūdu zemes; jo tā ir rakstīts caur to pravieti:
They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
6 “Un tu, Bētleme Jūdu zemē, tu nebūt neesi tā mazākā starp tiem lieliem kungiem no Jūda; jo no tevis nāks Tas Valdnieks, kas valdīs pār Maniem Israēla ļaudīm.””
‘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 Tad Hērodus paslepen aicināja tos gudros un īsteni izklausināja no tiem to laiku, kad tā zvaigzne atspīdējusi.
Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 Un viņš tos sūtīja uz Bētlemi un sacīja: ejat un izklausinājiet it labi par To Bērnu un To atraduši atsakāt man, ka arī es nāku, To pielūgt.
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 Tie nu to ķēniņu dzirdējuši aizgāja. Un redzi, tā zvaigzne, ko tie austruma zemē bija redzējuši, gāja tiem priekšā, kamēr tā nāca un apstājās virsū, kur Tas Bērns bija.
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 Un to zvaigzni ieraudzījuši, tie priecājās ar varen lielu prieku.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 Un namā iegājuši, tie atrada To Bērnu līdz ar Mariju, Viņa māti, un pie zemes mezdamies tie Viņu pielūdza; pēc tam, savu mantu atdarījuši, tie To apdāvināja ar zeltu un vīraku un mirrēm.
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 Un Dievs tiem parādīja sapnī, lai negriežās atpakaļ pie Hērodus; un tie aizgāja pa citu ceļu uz savu zemi.
Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 Bet kad tie bija aizgājuši, redzi, tad Dieva eņģelis Jāzepam parādījās sapnī un sacīja: celies un ņem To Bērnu un Viņa māti un bēdz uz Ēģiptes zemi un paliec tur, kamēr es tev sacīšu; jo Hērodus meklē To Bērnu nomaitāt.
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 Un cēlies viņš ņēma To Bērnu un Viņa māti nakts laikā un aizgāja uz Ēģiptes zemi,
He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
15 Un palika turpat, līdz kamēr Hērodus bija miris; ka piepildītos, ko Tas Kungs caur to pravieti bija runājis, kas saka: “No Ēģiptes zemes Es Savu Dēlu esmu aicinājis.”
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 Kad nu Hērodus redzēja, ka bija piekrāpts no tiem gudriem, tad viņš ļoti apskaitās un izsūtījis apkāva visus bērnus Bētlemē un pa visu Bētlemes tiesu, divus gadus vecus un vēl jaunākus, pēc tā laika, ko tas no tiem gudriem īsteni bija izklausinājis.
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 Tad piepildījās, ko pravietis Jeremija runājis sacīdams:
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 “Brēkšana ir dzirdēta Rāmā, žēlošanās, raudāšana un daudz kaukšanas. Rahēle apraud savus bērnus un negribās iepriecinājuma, jo to vairs nav.”
“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 Bet kad Hērodus bija nomiris, lūk, tad Tā Kunga eņģelis sapnī parādījās Jāzepam Ēģiptes zemē
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 Un sacīja: celies un ņem To Bērnu un Viņa māti, un ej uz Israēla zemi; jo tie ir nomiruši, kas Tā Bērna dvēseli meklēja.
“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 Un viņš cēlās un ņēma To Bērnu un Viņa māti, un nonāca Israēla zemē.
He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Bet kad viņš dzirdēja, Arhelaus Jūdu zemē valdām sava tēva Hērodus vietā, tad viņš bijās turp noiet; un sapnī no Dieva pamācīts, viņš atkāpās Galilejas robežās.
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 Un tur nonācis viņš apmetās tai pilsētā, ko sauc Nacareti, ka piepildītos, kas sacīts caur tiem praviešiem: “Viņš taps nosaukts Nacarietis.”
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.
