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 had been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! there came magians from the East to Jerusalem,
2 Kur ir Tas piedzimušais Jūdu ķēniņš? Jo mēs Viņa zvaigzni esam redzējuši austruma zemē un nākuši, Viņu pielūgt.
saying, Where is the king of the Jews that hath been born? for we saw his star in the East, and came to do him homage.
3 Kad ķēniņš Hērodus to dzirdēja, tad viņš izbijās un visa Jeruzāleme līdz ar viņu.
But when Herod the king heard of these things, 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.
and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
5 Un tie tam sacīja: “Bētlemē iekš Jūdu zemes; jo tā ir rakstīts caur to pravieti:
And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written by 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.””
“And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, art by no means least among the princes of Judah; for out of thee shall come a ruler, who shall feed my people Israel.”
7 Tad Hērodus paslepen aicināja tos gudros un īsteni izklausināja no tiem to laiku, kad tā zvaigzne atspīdējusi.
Then Herod, having privately called the magians ascertained from them exactly the time when 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.
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search carefully for the child; and when ye have found him, bring me word, that I also may go and do him homage.
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.
When they had heard the king, they departed. And lo! the star, which they had seen in the East, went before them, till it came and stood over where the child was.
10 Un to zvaigzni ieraudzījuši, tie priecājās ar varen lielu prieku.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding 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.
and when they had come into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and did homage to him; and opening their treasures, they presented him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 Un Dievs tiem parādīja sapnī, lai negriežās atpakaļ pie Hērodus; un tie aizgāja pa citu ceļu uz savu zemi.
And having been warned by God 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.
And when they had gone, lo! an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and remain there until I speak to thee; for Herod will seek the child, to destroy him.
14 Un cēlies viņš ņēma To Bērnu un Viņa māti nakts laikā un aizgāja uz Ēģiptes zemi,
And he arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and went to 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, “I called my son out of Egypt.”
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 had been deceived by the magians, was greatly enraged; and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the magians.
17 Tad piepildījās, ko pravietis Jeremija runājis sacīdams:
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, 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, weeping, and great mourning; Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they were no more.”
19 Bet kad Hērodus bija nomiris, lūk, tad Tā Kunga eņģelis sapnī parādījās Jāzepam Ēģiptes zemē
But when Herod was dead, lo! an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
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.
saying, Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel; for they who sought the child's life are dead.
21 Un viņš cēlās un ņēma To Bērnu un Viņa māti, un nonāca Israēla zemē.
And he arose, and took the 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 in Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned by God in a dream, he withdrew into the parts 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 took up his abode in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, “He will be called a Nazarene,”
