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:
Jesus was born in Bethlehem [town] in Judea [province] during the time [MTY] that King Herod [the Great ruled there. Some time] after Jesus was born, some men who studied the stars and who lived in a [country] east [of Judea] came to Jerusalem.
2 Kur ir Tas piedzimušais Jūdu ķēniņš? Jo mēs Viņa zvaigzni esam redzējuši austruma zemē un nākuši, Viņu pielūgt.
They asked [people], “Where is the one who has been born [in order that he might be] the king of [you] Jews? [We believe that your new king] has been born, because we have seen the star [that we believe indicated that] he has been [born]. [We saw it while we were in our country] east [of here]. So we have come to worship him.”
3 Kad ķēniņš Hērodus to dzirdēja, tad viņš izbijās un visa Jeruzāleme līdz ar viņu.
When King Herod heard [what those men were asking], he became worried [that someone else might be proclaimed] {[people might proclaim someone else]} [king of the Jews to replace him]. Many [of the people] of Jerusalem [MTY, HYP] [also] became worried [because they were afraid of what King Herod might do].
4 Un saaicinājis visus Jūdu augstos priesterus un rakstu mācītājus, viņš izklausināja no tiem, kur Kristum bija dzimt.
Then Herod gathered together all the ruling priests and men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws and he asked them where [the prophets had predicted that] the Messiah was to be born.
5 Un tie tam sacīja: “Bētlemē iekš Jūdu zemes; jo tā ir rakstīts caur to pravieti:
They said to him, “[He will be born] in Bethlehem, [here] in Judea [province], because it was written by the prophet [Micah] {the prophet [Micah] wrote} [long ago what God said]:
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 [who live in] Bethlehem [APO], in Judea [province], your town is certainly very important [LIT], because a man from your [town] will become a ruler. He will guide my people [who live in] Israel.’”
7 Tad Hērodus paslepen aicināja tos gudros un īsteni izklausināja no tiem to laiku, kad tā zvaigzne atspīdējusi.
Then [King] Herod secretly summoned those men who studied the stars. He asked them exactly when the star [first] appeared. [By what they told him, he was able to know the approximate age of the baby].
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.
Then he [concealed what he really planned to do and] said to them, “Go to Bethlehem and inquire thoroughly [where] the infant is. When you have found him, [come back and] report to me so that I, myself, can go [there and] worship him, too.”
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.
After the men heard what the king [told them], they went [toward Bethlehem]. To their surprise, the star that they had seen while they were in the eastern [country] went ahead of them [again] until it stood above [the house] where the child was.
10 Un to zvaigzni ieraudzījuši, tie priecājās ar varen lielu prieku.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced greatly [and followed it].
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 [found] the house and entered it and saw the child and his mother, Mary. They bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasure [boxes] [MTY] and they gave gold, [costly] frankincense, and myrrh to him.
12 Un Dievs tiem parādīja sapnī, lai negriežās atpakaļ pie Hērodus; un tie aizgāja pa citu ceļu uz savu zemi.
[Because] God [knew that King Herod planned to kill Jesus], in a dream the men who studied the stars were warned {he warned the men who studied the stars} that they should not return to [King] Herod. So they returned to their country, [but instead of traveling back on the same road, they] went on a different road.
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.
After the men who studied the stars left [Bethlehem], an angel [from] the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. He said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you [(sg) that you should leave], because [King] Herod is about [to send soldiers] to look for the child so that they can kill him.”
14 Un cēlies viņš ņēma To Bērnu un Viņa māti nakts laikā un aizgāja uz Ēģiptes zemi,
So Joseph got up, he took the child and his mother [that] night, and they fled 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.”
They stayed there until [King] Herod died, [and then they left Egypt]. By doing that, it was {they} fulfilled what the prophet [Hosea] wrote, which had been said by the Lord {which the Lord had said}, I have told my son to come 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.
[While King] Herod [was still living], because he realized that he had been tricked by the men who studied the stars {the men who studied the stars had tricked him}, he became furious. Then, [assuming that Jesus was still in Bethlehem or the surrounding regions], Herod sent [soldiers there] to kill all the boy babies two years old and younger. [Herod calculated how old the baby was], according to what the men who studied the stars told him [about when the star first appeared].
17 Tad piepildījās, ko pravietis Jeremija runājis sacīdams:
[Because Bethlehem and Ramah towns were in the area where the descendants of Jacob’s wife Rachel lived, when soldiers killed the infant boys], they fulfilled what Jeremiah the prophet wrote,
18 “Brēkšana ir dzirdēta Rāmā, žēlošanās, raudāšana un daudz kaukšanas. Rahēle apraud savus bērnus un negribās iepriecinājuma, jo to vairs nav.”
[Women] in Ramah were weeping and wailing loudly. [Women who were the descendants] of Rachel, [the ancestor of the women there] [SYN], were grieving for [what happened to] their children. [Even though people tried to comfort them], they would not be comforted {stop mourning}, because their children were dead.
19 Bet kad Hērodus bija nomiris, lūk, tad Tā Kunga eņģelis sapnī parādījās Jāzepam Ēģiptes zemē
After Herod died [and while Joseph and his family were still in Egypt], an angel that the Lord [had sent] appeared to Joseph in Egypt in a dream.
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.
He said to Joseph, “Take the child and his mother and go back to Israel [to live], because the people who were looking for the child [in order to kill him] have died.”
21 Un viņš cēlās un ņēma To Bērnu un Viņa māti, un nonāca Israēla zemē.
So Joseph took the child and his mother, and they went back to 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.
When Joseph heard that Archaelaus now ruled in Judea [district] instead of his father, [King] Herod [the Great], he was afraid to go there. Because he was warned {[God] warned Joseph} in a dream [that it was still dangerous for them to live in Judea], he [and Mary and Jesus] went to Galilee [District]
23 Un tur nonācis viņš apmetās tai pilsētā, ko sauc Nacareti, ka piepildītos, kas sacīts caur tiem praviešiem: “Viņš taps nosaukts Nacarietis.”
to Nazareth [to live there]. The result was that what had been said by the ancient prophets {what the ancient prophets had said} [about the Messiah], that he would be called {people would call him} a Nazareth-man, was fulfilled {came true}.
