1 anantaraṁ hērōd saṁjñakē rājñi rājyaṁ śāsati yihūdīyadēśasya baitlēhami nagarē yīśau jātavati ca, katipayā jyōtirvvudaḥ pūrvvasyā diśō yirūśālamnagaraṁ samētya kathayamāsuḥ,
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, look, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 yō yihūdīyānāṁ rājā jātavān, sa kutrāstē? vayaṁ pūrvvasyāṁ diśi tiṣṭhantastadīyāṁ tārakām apaśyāma tasmāt taṁ praṇantum agamāma|
"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 tadā hērōd rājā kathāmētāṁ niśamya yirūśālamnagarasthitaiḥ sarvvamānavaiḥ sārddham udvijya
And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 sarvvān pradhānayājakān adhyāpakāṁśca samāhūyānīya papraccha, khrīṣṭaḥ kutra janiṣyatē?
And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 tadā tē kathayāmāsuḥ, yihūdīyadēśasya baitlēhami nagarē, yatō bhaviṣyadvādinā itthaṁ likhitamāstē,
And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written through the prophet,
6 sarvvābhyō rājadhānībhyō yihūdīyasya nīvr̥taḥ| hē yīhūdīyadēśasyē baitlēham tvaṁ na cāvarā|isrāyēlīyalōkān mē yatō yaḥ pālayiṣyati| tādr̥gēkō mahārājastvanmadhya udbhaviṣyatī||
'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come forth a ruler who will shepherd my people, Israel.'"
7 tadānīṁ hērōd rājā tān jyōtirvvidō gōpanam āhūya sā tārakā kadā dr̥ṣṭābhavat, tad viniścayāmāsa|
Then Herod secretly called the Magi, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 aparaṁ tān baitlēhamaṁ prahītya gaditavān, yūyaṁ yāta, yatnāt taṁ śiśum anviṣya taduddēśē prāptē mahyaṁ vārttāṁ dāsyatha, tatō mayāpi gatvā sa praṇaṁsyatē|
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."
9 tadānīṁ rājña ētādr̥śīm ājñāṁ prāpya tē pratasthirē, tataḥ pūrvvarsyāṁ diśi sthitaistai ryā tārakā dr̥ṣṭā sā tārakā tēṣāmagrē gatvā yatra sthānē śiśūrāstē, tasya sthānasyōpari sthagitā tasyau|
And they, having heard the king, went their way; and look, the star which they saw in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 tad dr̥ṣṭvā tē mahānanditā babhūvuḥ,
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 tatō gēhamadhya praviśya tasya mātrā mariyamā sāddhaṁ taṁ śiśuṁ nirīkṣaya daṇḍavad bhūtvā praṇēmuḥ, aparaṁ svēṣāṁ ghanasampattiṁ mōcayitvā suvarṇaṁ kunduruṁ gandharamañca tasmai darśanīyaṁ dattavantaḥ|
And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 paścād hērōd rājasya samīpaṁ punarapi gantuṁ svapna īśvarēṇa niṣiddhāḥ santō 'nyēna pathā tē nijadēśaṁ prati pratasthirē|
Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 anantaraṁ tēṣu gatavatmu paramēśvarasya dūtō yūṣaphē svapnē darśanaṁ datvā jagāda, tvam utthāya śiśuṁ tanmātarañca gr̥hītvā misardēśaṁ palāyasva, aparaṁ yāvadahaṁ tubhyaṁ vārttāṁ na kathayiṣyāmi, tāvat tatraiva nivasa, yatō rājā hērōd śiśuṁ nāśayituṁ mr̥gayiṣyatē|
Now when they had departed, look, 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 tadānīṁ yūṣaph utthāya rajanyāṁ śiśuṁ tanmātarañca gr̥hītvā misardēśaṁ prati pratasthē,
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 gatvā ca hērōdō nr̥patē rmaraṇaparyyantaṁ tatra dēśē nyuvāsa, tēna misardēśādahaṁ putraṁ svakīyaṁ samupāhūyam| yadētadvacanam īśvarēṇa bhaviṣyadvādinā kathitaṁ tat saphalamabhūt|
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 anantaraṁ hērōd jyōtirvidbhirātmānaṁ pravañcitaṁ vijñāya bhr̥śaṁ cukōpa; aparaṁ jyōtirvvidbhyastēna viniścitaṁ yad dinaṁ taddinād gaṇayitvā dvitīyavatsaraṁ praviṣṭā yāvantō bālakā asmin baitlēhamnagarē tatsīmamadhyē cāsan, lōkān prahitya tān sarvvān ghātayāmāsa|
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the Magi, 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 Magi.
17 ataḥ anēkasya vilāpasya nināda: krandanasya ca| śōkēna kr̥taśabdaśca rāmāyāṁ saṁniśamyatē| svabālagaṇahētōrvai rāhēl nārī tu rōdinī| na manyatē prabōdhantu yatastē naiva manti hi||
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 yadētad vacanaṁ yirīmiyanāmakabhaviṣyadvādinā kathitaṁ tat tadānīṁ saphalam abhūt|
"A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are no more."
19 tadanantaraṁ hērēdi rājani mr̥tē paramēśvarasya dūtō misardēśē svapnē darśanaṁ dattvā yūṣaphē kathitavān
But when Herod was dead, look, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 tvam utthāya śiśuṁ tanmātarañca gr̥hītvā punarapīsrāyēlō dēśaṁ yāhī, yē janāḥ śiśuṁ nāśayitum amr̥gayanta, tē mr̥tavantaḥ|
"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 tadānīṁ sa utthāya śiśuṁ tanmātarañca gr̥hlan isrāyēldēśam ājagāma|
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 kintu yihūdīyadēśē arkhilāyanāma rājakumārō nijapitu rhērōdaḥ padaṁ prāpya rājatvaṁ karōtīti niśamya tat sthānaṁ yātuṁ śaṅkitavān, paścāt svapna īśvarāt prabōdhaṁ prāpya gālīldēśasya pradēśaikaṁ prasthāya nāsarannāma nagaraṁ gatvā tatra nyuṣitavān,
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 tēna taṁ nāsaratīyaṁ kathayiṣyanti, yadētadvākyaṁ bhaviṣyadvādibhirukttaṁ tat saphalamabhavat|
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 Nazorean.
