Mateju 2
1 A kad se rodi Isus u Vitlejemu Judejskome, za vremena cara Iroda, a to doðu mudarci od istoka u Jerusalim, i kažu:
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Gdje je car Judejski što se rodio? Jer smo vidjeli njegovu zvijezdu na istoku i došli smo da mu se poklonimo.
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 Kad to èuje car Irod, uplaši se, i sav Jerusalim s njim.
When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 I sabravši sve glavare sveštenièke i književnike narodne, pitaše ih: gdje æe se roditi Hristos?
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 A oni mu rekoše: u Vitlejemu Judejskome; jer je tako prorok napisao:
And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 I ti Vitlejeme, zemljo Judina! ni po èem nisi najmanji u državi Judinoj; jer æe iz tebe iziæi èelovoða koji æe pasti narod moj Izrailja.
And you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Onda Irod tajno dozva mudarce, i ispitivaše ih kad se pojavila zvijezda.
Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 I poslavši ih u Vitlejem, reèe: idite i raspitajte dobro za dijete, pa kad ga naðete, javite mi, da i ja idem da mu se poklonim.
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 again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 I oni saslušavši cara, poðoše: a to i zvijezda koju su vidjeli na istoku, iðaše pred njima dok ne doðe i stade odozgo gdje bješe dijete.
When they had heard the king, they departed; and, see, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 A kad vidješe zvijezdu gdje je stala, obradovaše se veoma velikom radosti.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 I ušavši u kuæu, vidješe dijete s Marijom materom njegovom, i padoše i pokloniše mu se; pa otvoriše dare svoje i darivaše ga: zlatom, i tamjanom, i smirnom.
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 to him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
12 I primivši u snu zapovijest da se ne vraæaju k Irodu, drugijem putem otidoše u svoju zemlju.
And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 A pošto oni otidu, a to anðeo Gospodnji javi se Josifu u snu i kaza mu: ustani, uzmi dijete i mater njegovu pa bježi u Misir, i budi onamo dok ti ne kažem; jer æe Irod tražiti dijete da ga pogubi.
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be you there until I bring you word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 I on ustavši uze dijete i mater njegovu noæu i otide u Misir.
When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15 I bi tamo do smrti Irodove: da se izvrši što je Gospod rekao preko proroka koji govori: iz Misira dozvah sina svojega.
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 Tada Irod kad vidje da su ga mudarci prevarili, razgnjevi se vrlo i posla te pobiše svu djecu po Vitlejemu i po svoj okolini njegovoj od dvije godine i niže, po vremenu koje je dobro doznao od mudaraca.
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 Tada se zbi što je kazao prorok Jeremija govoreæi:
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18 Glas u Rami èu se, plaè, i ridanje, i jaukanje mnogo: Rahila plaèe za svojom djecom, i neæe da se utješi, jer ih nema.
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 A po smrti Irodovoj, gle, anðeo Gospodnji u snu javi se Josifu u Misiru.
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 I reèe: ustani, i uzmi dijete i mater njegovu i idi u zemlju Izrailjevu; jer su izumrli koji su tražili dušu djetinju.
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 I on ustavši, uze dijete i mater njegovu, i doðe u zemlju Izrailjevu.
And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Ali èuvši da Arhelaj caruje u Judeji mjesto Iroda oca svojega, poboja se onamo iæi; nego primivši u snu zapovijest, otide u krajeve Galilejske.
But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea 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 I došavši onamo, namjesti se u gradu koji se zove Nazaret, da se zbude kao što su kazali proroci da æe se Nazareæanin nazvati.
And he came and dwelled in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
