Mateus 2
1 E, tendo nascido Jesus em Belém de Judeia, no tempo do rei Herodes, eis que uns magos vieram do oriente a Jerusalém,
NOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Dizendo: Onde está aquele que é nascido rei dos judeus? porque vimos a sua estrela no oriente, e viemos a adora-lo.
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 E o rei Herodes, ouvindo isto, perturbou-se, e toda Jerusalém com ele.
When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 E, congregados todos os príncipes dos sacerdotes, e os escribas do povo, perguntou-lhes onde havia de nascer o Cristo.
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5 E eles lhe disseram: Em Belém de Judeia; porque assim está escrito pelo profeta:
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judæa: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 E tu, Belém, terra de Judá, de modo nenhum és a menor entre as capitães de Judá; porque de ti sairá o Guia que há de apascentar o meu povo de Israel.
And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Então Herodes, chamando secretamente os magos, inquiriu exatamente deles acerca do tempo em que a estrela lhes aparecera.
Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 E, enviando-os a Belém, disse: Ide, e perguntai diligentemente pelo menino, e, quando o achardes, participai-mo, para que também eu vá e o adore.
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 E, tendo eles ouvido o rei, foram-se; e eis que a estrela, que tinham visto no oriente, ia adiante deles, até que, chegando, se deteve sobre o lugar onde estava o menino.
When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 E, vendo eles a estrela, alegraram-se muito com grande alegria.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 E, entrando na casa, acharam o menino com Maria sua mãe, e, prostrando-se, o adoraram; e, abrindo os seus tesouros, lhe ofertaram dádivas: ouro, incenso e mirra.
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 E, sendo por divina revelação avisados em sonhos para que não voltassem para junto de Herodes, partiram para a sua terra por outro caminho.
And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 E, tendo-se eles retirado, eis que o anjo do Senhor apareceu a José em sonhos, dizendo: Levanta-te, e toma o menino e sua mãe, e foge para o Egito, e demora-te lá até que eu te diga; porque Herodes há de procurar o menino para o matar.
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 E, levantando-se ele, tomou o menino e sua mãe, de noite, e foi para o Egito,
When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15 E esteve lá até à morte de Herodes, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito da parte do Senhor pelo profeta, que diz: Do Egito chamei o meu Filho.
And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Então Herodes, vendo que tinha sido iludido pelos magos, irritou-se muito, e mandou matar todos os meninos que havia em Belém, e em todos os seus contornos, de idade de dois anos e menos, segundo o tempo que diligentemente inquirira dos magos.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Então se cumpriu o que foi dito pelo profeta Jeremias, que diz:
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18 Em Rama se ouviu uma voz, lamentação, choro e grande pranto: Rachel chorando os seus filhos, e não quis ser consolada, porque já não existem.
In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 Morto porém Herodes, eis que o anjo do Senhor apareceu num sonho a José no Egito,
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Dizendo: Levanta-te, e toma o menino e sua mãe, e vai para a terra de Israel; porque já estão mortos os que procuravam a morte do menino.
Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.
21 Então ele se levantou, e tomou o menino e sua mãe, e foi para a terra de Israel.
And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 E, ouvindo que Archelau reinava na Judeia em lugar de Herodes, seu pai, receou ir para lá: mas avisado em sonho por divina revelação, foi para as partes da Galiléia.
But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judæa in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23 E chegou, e habitou numa cidade chamada Nazareth, para que se cumprisse o que fôra dito pelos profetas: Que se chamará Nazareno.
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.
