Mateus 2
1 E sendo Jesus já nascido em Belém da Judeia, nos dias do rei Herodes, eis que vieram uns magos do oriente a Jerusalém,
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 Dizendo: Onde está o Rei nascido dos Judeus? Porque vimos sua estrela no oriente, e viemos adorá-lo.
“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 E o rei Herodes, ao ouvir [isto], ficou perturbado, e com ele toda Jerusalém.
When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 E tendo reunido todos os chefes dos sacerdotes e escribas do povo, perguntou-lhes onde o Cristo havia de nascer.
Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 E eles lhe disseram: Em Belém da Judeia, porque assim está escrito pelo profeta:
They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
6 E tu Belém, terra de Judá, de maneira nenhuma és a menor entre as lideranças de Judá, porque de ti sairá o Guia que apascentará meu povo Israel.
‘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 Então Herodes, chamando secretamente os magos, perguntou-lhes com precisão sobre o tempo em que a estrela havia aparecido.
Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 E enviando-os a Belém, disse: Ide, e investigai cuidadosamente pelo menino; e quando o achardes, avisai-me, para que também eu venha e o adore.
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 Depois de ouvirem o rei, eles foram embora. E eis que a estrela que tinham visto no oriente ia adiante deles, até que ela chegou, e ficou parada sobre onde o menino estava.
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 E eles, vendo a estrela, jubilaram muito com grande alegria.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 E entrando na casa, acharam o menino com sua mãe Maria, e prostrando-se o adoraram. E abrindo seus tesouros, ofereceram-lhe presentes: ouro, incenso, e mirra.
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 E sendo por divina revelação avisados em sonho que não voltassem a Herodes, partiram para sua terra por outro caminho.
Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 E tendo eles partido, eis que um anjo do Senhor apareceu a José em sonho, dizendo: Levanta-te, toma o menino e sua mãe, e foge para o Egito; e fica lá até que eu te diga, porque Herodes buscará o menino para o matar.
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 Então ele se despertou, tomou o menino e sua mãe de noite, e foi para o Egito;
He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
15 E esteve lá até a morte de Herodes, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo Senhor por meio do profeta, que disse: Do Egito chamei o meu Filho.
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 Então Herodes, ao ver que tinha sido enganado pelos magos, irou-se muito, e mandou matar todos os meninos em Belém e em todos os limites de sua região, [da idade] de dois anos e abaixo, conforme o tempo que tinha perguntado com precisão dos magos.
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 Então se cumpriu o que foi dito pelo profeta Jeremias, que disse:
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 Uma voz se ouviu em Ramá, choro, e grande pranto; Raquel chorava por seus filhos, e não quis ser consolada, pois já não existem.
“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
19 Mas depois de Herodes ter morrido, eis que um anjo do Senhor apareceu no Egito a José em sonho,
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 Dizendo: Levanta-te, toma o menino e sua mãe, e vai para a terra de Israel, porque já morreram os que procuravam a morte do menino.
“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 Então ele se levantou, tomou o menino e sua mãe, e veio para a terra de Israel.
He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Porém ao ouvir que Arquelau reinava na Judeia em lugar de seu pai Herodes, ele teve medo de ir para lá; mas avisado por divina revelação em sonho, foi para a região da Galileia,
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 E veio a habitar na cidade chamada Nazaré, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelos profetas, que: Ele será chamado de Nazareno.
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.
