Matej 2
1 Ko je bil torej Jezus rojen v Betlehemu, v Judeji, v dneh kralja Heroda, glej, so od vzhoda v Jeruzalem prišli modri možje,
Now when Yeshua was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, look, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 rekoč: »Kje je tisti judovski Kralj, ki je rojen? Kajti njegovo zvezdo smo videli na vzhodu in prišli smo, da ga obožujemo.«
"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 Ko je kralj Herod slišal te besede, je bil zaskrbljen in z njim ves Jeruzalem.
And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 In ko je zbral skupaj vse visoke duhovnike in pisarje izmed ljudstva, jih je povprašal, kje naj bi bil Kristus rojen.
And gathering together all the chief cohanim and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Messiah would be born.
5 Rekli so mu: »V judejskem Betlehemu, kajti tako je napisano po preroku:
And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written through the prophet,
6 ›In ti Betlehem, v deželi Judovi, nisi najmanjši med Judovimi princi, kajti iz tebe bo prišel Voditelj, ki bo vladal mojemu ljudstvu Izraelu.‹«
'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 Tedaj je Herod, ko je na skrivnem poklical modre može, od njih marljivo poizvedel, kdaj se je zvezda prikazala.
Then Herod secretly called the Magi, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 In poslal jih je v Betlehem ter rekel: »Pojdite in marljivo iščite za mladim otrokom in ko ga boste našli, mi ponovno prinesite sporočilo, da lahko tudi jaz pridem in ga obožujem.«
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 Ko so slišali kralja, so odšli. In glej, zvezda, ki so jo videli na vzhodu, je šla pred njimi, dokler ni prišla in obstala zgoraj, kjer je bil mladi otrok.
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 Ko so zagledali zvezdo, so se razveselili s silno veliko radostjo.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 In ko so prišli v hišo, so zagledali mladega otroka z Marijo, njegovo materjo in padli dol ter ga oboževali. In ko so odprli svoje zaklade, so mu izročili darila: zlato in kadilo in miro.
And they came into the house and saw the young child with Miriam, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 In od Boga v sanjah posvarjeni, da naj se ne bi vrnili k Herodu, so po drugi poti odšli v svojo lastno deželo.
Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 In ko so odšli, glej, se je Jožefu v sanjah prikazal Gospodov angel, rekoč: »Vstani in vzemi mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter beži v Egipt in bodi tam, dokler ti ne prinesem besede, kajti Herod bo mladega otroka iskal, da ga pokonča.«
Now when they had departed, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
14 Ko je vstal, je ponoči vzel mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter odšel v Egipt
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 in tam je bil do Herodove smrti, da bi se lahko izpolnilo, kar je bilo rečeno od Gospoda po preroku, rekoč: »Iz Egipta sem poklical svojega sina.«
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 Potem je bil Herod, ko je videl, da je bil zasmehovan od modrih mož, silno ogorčen in poslal ter usmrtil vse otroke, ki so bili v Betlehemu in v vseh teh krajih, od dveh let starosti in mlajše, glede na čas, ki ga je marljivo poizvedel od modrih mož.
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 Tedaj je bilo izpolnjeno to, kar je bilo rečeno po preroku Jeremiju, rekoč:
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 ›Tam v Rami je bilo slišati glas, objokovanje in jokanje ter veliko žalovanje. Rahela je jokala za svojimi otroki, pa ne bo potolažena, ker jih ni več.‹
"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 Toda ko je bil Herod mrtev, glej, se Gospodov angel prikaže Jožefu v sanjah v Egiptu,
But when Herod was dead, look, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 rekoč: »Vstani in vzemi mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter pojdi v Izraelovo deželo, kajti tisti, ki so mlademu otroku stregli po življenju, so mrtvi.«
"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 In vstal je in vzel mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter prišel v Izraelovo deželo.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 Toda ko je slišal, da je Arhelaj vladal v Judeji namesto svojega očeta Heroda, se je bal iti tja; in v sanjah od Boga posvarjen, se je obrnil proč, v galilejske kraje.
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 Galil,
23 In prišel ter bival v mestu, imenovanem Nazaret, da se je lahko izpolnilo, kar je bilo rečeno po prerokih: »Imenoval se bo Nazarečan.«
and came and lived in a city called Natzeret; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he will be called a Natzrati.
