Mateo 2
1 Pagkatapos maipanganak si Jesus sa Bethlehem ng Judea sa mga araw ni Haring Herodes, dumating sa Jerusalem ang mga pantas na kalalakihan mula sa silangan na nagsasabi,
And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi from the east came to Jerusalem,
2 “Nasaan siyang ipinanganak na Hari ng mga Judio? Nakita namin ang bituin niya sa silangan kaya pumarito kami upang sumamba sa kaniya.”
saying, “Where is He who was born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east, and we came to worship Him.”
3 Nang marinig ito ni haring Herodes, nabagabag siya at ang buong Jerusalem na kasama niya.
And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,
4 At tinipon ni Herodes ang lahat ng mga punong pari at mga eskriba ng mga tao, at tinanong niya ang mga ito, “Saan ipapanganak ang Cristo?”
and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.
5 Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Sa Bethlehem ng Judea, sapagkat ito ang isinulat ng propeta,
And they said to him, “In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:
6 'At ikaw, Bethlehem, sa lupain ng Judah, ay hindi pinakahamak sa mga pinuno ng Judah, sapagkat sayo magmumula ang isang pinuno na magpapastol sa aking mga taong Israelita.'”
And you, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, you are by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of you will come One leading, who will feed My people Israel.”
7 At lihim na ipinatawag ni Herodes ang mga pantas na kalalakihan upang tanungin kung ano ang tiyak na oras na nagpakita ang bituin.
Then Herod, having called the magi privately, inquired exactly from them the time of the appearing star,
8 Pinapunta niya ang mga ito sa Bethlehem at sinabing, “Humayo kayo at hanaping mabuti ang bata. Kung nahanap ninyo siya, ipaalam ninyo sa akin upang makapunta at makasamba din ako sa kaniya.”
and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, “Having gone—inquire exactly for the Child, and whenever you may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may worship Him.”
9 Pagkatapos nilang makinig sa hari, sila ay tumuloy sa kanilang lakbayin, at pinangunahan sila ng bituwin na kanilang nakita mula sa silangan hanggang sa ito ay tumigil kung nasaan naroroon ang bata.
And they, having heard the king, departed, and behold, the star, that they saw in the east, went before them, until, having come, it stood over where the Child was.
10 Nang nakita nila ang bituin, sila ay nagalak nang may labis na kagalakan.
And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy,
11 Sila ay pumunta sa bahay at kanilang nakita ang bata kasama ng kaniyang inang si Maria. Yumukod sila at sumamba sa kaniya. Binuksan nila ang kanilang mga kayamanan at inihandog nila ang kanilang mga kaloob na ginto, kamanyang, at mira.
and having come into the house, they found the Child with His mother Mary, and having fallen down they worshiped Him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to Him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh,
12 Binalaan sila ng Diyos sa panaginip na huwag nang bumalik kay Herodes, kaya umiba sila ng daan pauwi sa kanilang bayan.
and having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
13 Pagkatapos nilang umalis, isang anghel ng Panginoon ang nagpakita kay Jose sa panaginip at sinabi, “Bumangon ka, dalhin mo ang bata at ang kaniyang ina at tumakas kayo patungong Egipto. Manatili kayo doon hanggang sa sasabihin ko, sapagkat hahanapin ni Herodes ang bata upang patayin siya”.
And on their having withdrawn, behold, a messenger of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, “Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and flee to Egypt, and be there until I may speak to you, for Herod is about to seek the Child to destroy Him.”
14 Sa gabing iyon, bumangon si Jose at kinuha ang bata at ang kaniyang ina at umalis patungong Egipto.
And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
15 Nanatili siya roon hanggang sa pagkamatay si Herodes. Tinupad nito ang sinabi ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng propeta, “Mula sa Egipto tinawag ko ang aking anak.”
and he was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
16 Nang nakita ni Herodes na kinutya siya ng mga pantas na kalalakihan, siya ay nagalit nang labis. Nagsugo siya at ipinapatay ang lahat ng mga batang lalaking naroon sa Bethlehem at sa buong rehiyon, ang mga may dalawang taong gulang pababa ayon sa tiyak na panahong nalaman niya mula sa mga pantas.
Then Herod, having seen that he was deceived by the magi, was very angry, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from the magi.
17 At natupad nga ang sinabi sa pamamagitan ng propeta na si Jeremias,
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18 “Isang tinig ang narinig sa Ramah, pananangis at labis na pagdadalamhati, umiiyak si Raquel para sa kaniyang mga anak at ayaw niyang paaliw sapagkat sila ay wala na.”
“A voice in Ramah was heard—weeping and much mourning—Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she would not be comforted because they are not.”
19 Nang si Herodes ay namatay, masdan ito, nagpakita sa isang panaginip ang isang anghel ng Panginoon kay Jose sa Egipto at sinabi,
And Herod having died, behold, a messenger of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 “Bumangon ka at kunin mo ang bata at ang kaniyang ina at pumunta kayo sa lupain ng Israel, sapagkat ang mga naghahangad sa buhay ng bata ay patay na.”
saying, “Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and be going to the land of Israel, for they have died—those seeking the life of the Child.”
21 Bumangon si Jose at kinuha ang bata at ang kaniyang ina at tumungo sila sa lupain ng Israel.
And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother, and came to the land of Israel,
22 Ngunit nang mabalitaan niya na si Arquelao na ang naghahari sa Judea kapalit ng kaniyang ama na si Herodes, natakot siyang pumunta roon. Pagkatapos siyang balaan ng Diyos sa panaginip, umalis siya patungo sa rehiyon ng Galilea
and having heard that Archelaus reigns over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to the parts of Galilee,
23 at pumunta siya at nanirahan sa lungsod na tinatawag na Nazaret. Natupad kung ano ang sinabi sa pamamagitan ng mga propeta na siya ay tatawaging Nazareno.
and coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the Prophets, that “He will be called a Nazarene.”
