NOW when Jeshu was born in Beth-lechem of Jehuda, in the days of Herodes the king, there came Magians from the East to Urishlem:
2 yO yihUdIyAnAM rAjA jAtavAn, sa kutrAstE? vayaM pUrvvasyAM dizi tiSThantastadIyAM tArakAm apazyAma tasmAt taM praNantum agamAma|
and they said, Where is the king of the Jews who is born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
3 tadA hErOd rAjA kathAmEtAM nizamya yirUzAlamnagarasthitaiH sarvvamAnavaiH sArddham udvijya
But Herodes the king heard, and was troubled, and all Urishlem with him.
4 sarvvAn pradhAnayAjakAn adhyApakAMzca samAhUyAnIya papraccha, khrISTaH kutra janiSyatE?
And he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and anxiously inquired of them where the Meshicha should be born.
5 tadA tE kathayAmAsuH, yihUdIyadEzasya baitlEhami nagarE, yatO bhaviSyadvAdinA itthaM likhitamAstE,
But they said, In Beth-lechem of Jehuda; for so it is written in the prophet:
6 sarvvAbhyO rAjadhAnIbhyO yihUdIyasya nIvRtaH| hE yIhUdIyadEzasyE baitlEham tvaM na cAvarA|isrAyElIyalOkAn mE yatO yaH pAlayiSyati| tAdRgEkO mahArAjastvanmadhya udbhaviSyatI||
Also thou, Beth-lechem of Jehuda, wast not the least among the kings of Jehuda; for from thee shall come forth the king who shall be as a shepherd to my people Isroel.
7 tadAnIM hErOd rAjA tAn jyOtirvvidO gOpanam AhUya sA tArakA kadA dRSTAbhavat, tad vinizcayAmAsa|
Then Herodes privately called the Magians, and learned from them at what time the star appeared to them:
8 aparaM tAn baitlEhamaM prahItya gaditavAn, yUyaM yAta, yatnAt taM zizum anviSya taduddEzE prAptE mahyaM vArttAM dAsyatha, tatO mayApi gatvA sa praNaMsyatE|
and he sent them to Beth-lechem, and said to them, Go and inquire diligently concerning the child; and when you have found him, come, show me, and I also will go and will worship him.
9 tadAnIM rAjnja EtAdRzIm AjnjAM prApya tE pratasthirE, tataH pUrvvarsyAM dizi sthitaistai ryA tArakA dRSTA sA tArakA tESAmagrE gatvA yatra sthAnE zizUrAstE, tasya sthAnasyOpari sthagitA tasyau|
But they, when they had heard the king, went forth; and, lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, proceeded before them, until it came and stood over against where the child was.
10 tad dRSTvA tE mahAnanditA babhUvuH,
Now when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
11 tatO gEhamadhya pravizya tasya mAtrA mariyamA sAddhaM taM zizuM nirIkSaya daNPavad bhUtvA praNEmuH, aparaM svESAM ghanasampattiM mOcayitvA suvarNaM kunduruM gandharamanjca tasmai darzanIyaM dattavantaH|
And they entered the house, and beheld the child with Mariam his mother; and they fell down, and worshipped him. And they opened their treasures, and offered unto him oblations; gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
12 pazcAd hErOd rAjasya samIpaM punarapi gantuM svapna IzvarENa niSiddhAH santO 'nyEna pathA tE nijadEzaM prati pratasthirE|
And it was shown to them in a dream, that they should not return unto Herodes; so, by another way, they went unto their place.
13 anantaraM tESu gatavatmu paramEzvarasya dUtO yUSaphE svapnE darzanaM datvA jagAda, tvam utthAya zizuM tanmAtaranjca gRhItvA misardEzaM palAyasva, aparaM yAvadahaM tubhyaM vArttAM na kathayiSyAmi, tAvat tatraiva nivasa, yatO rAjA hErOd zizuM nAzayituM mRgayiSyatE|
AND when they were gone, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream unto Jauseph, and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and flee into Metsreen, and there be until I tell thee; for it will be that Herodes will seek the child, that he may destroy him.
14 tadAnIM yUSaph utthAya rajanyAM zizuM tanmAtaranjca gRhItvA misardEzaM prati pratasthE,
Then Jauseph arose, took up the child and his mother, and fled by night into Metsreen,
15 gatvA ca hErOdO nRpatE rmaraNaparyyantaM tatra dEzE nyuvAsa, tEna misardEzAdahaM putraM svakIyaM samupAhUyam| yadEtadvacanam IzvarENa bhaviSyadvAdinA kathitaM tat saphalamabhUt|
and was there until the death of Herodes. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Metsreen have I called my son.
16 anantaraM hErOd jyOtirvidbhirAtmAnaM pravanjcitaM vijnjAya bhRzaM cukOpa; aparaM jyOtirvvidbhyastEna vinizcitaM yad dinaM taddinAd gaNayitvA dvitIyavatsaraM praviSTA yAvantO bAlakA asmin baitlEhamnagarE tatsImamadhyE cAsan, lOkAn prahitya tAn sarvvAn ghAtayAmAsa|
Then Herodes, when he saw that he had been deluded by the Magians, was greatly wroth, and sent (and) killed all the children of Beth-lechem, and all its limits, from two years and under, according to the time which he had inquired from the Magians.
17 ataH anEkasya vilApasya ninAda: krandanasya ca| zOkEna kRtazabdazca rAmAyAM saMnizamyatE| svabAlagaNahEtOrvai rAhEl nArI tu rOdinI| na manyatE prabOdhantu yatastE naiva manti hi||
Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Eramio the prophet, who said,
18 yadEtad vacanaM yirImiyanAmakabhaviSyadvAdinA kathitaM tat tadAnIM saphalam abhUt|
A cry was heard in Rometha; weeping and great lamentation; Rochel weeping for her children, and not willing to be comforted, because they are not.
19 tadanantaraM hErEdi rAjani mRtE paramEzvarasya dUtO misardEzE svapnE darzanaM dattvA yUSaphE kathitavAn
BUT when Herodes, the king, was dead, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Jauseph in Metsreen,
20 tvam utthAya zizuM tanmAtaranjca gRhItvA punarapIsrAyElO dEzaM yAhI, yE janAH zizuM nAzayitum amRgayanta, tE mRtavantaH|
and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Isroel; for they are dead who sought the life of the child.
21 tadAnIM sa utthAya zizuM tanmAtaranjca gRhlan isrAyEldEzam AjagAma|
And Jauseph arose, (and) took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Isroel.
22 kintu yihUdIyadEzE arkhilAyanAma rAjakumArO nijapitu rhErOdaH padaM prApya rAjatvaM karOtIti nizamya tat sthAnaM yAtuM zagkitavAn, pazcAt svapna IzvarAt prabOdhaM prApya gAlIldEzasya pradEzaikaM prasthAya nAsarannAma nagaraM gatvA tatra nyuSitavAn,
But when he heard that Arkelaos was the king in Jehud, instead of Herodes his father, he was afraid to go thither: and it was shown to him in a dream, that he should go into the region of Galila.
23 tEna taM nAsaratIyaM kathayiSyanti, yadEtadvAkyaM bhaviSyadvAdibhirukttaM tat saphalamabhavat|
And he came and dwelt in a city which is called Natsrath. So would be fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet, that a Nazarene he should be called.
