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,
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 “Nasaan siyang ipinanganak na Hari ng mga Judio? Nakita namin ang bituin niya sa silangan kaya pumarito kami upang sumamba sa kaniya.”
"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 Nang marinig ito ni haring Herodes, nabagabag siya at ang buong Jerusalem na kasama niya.
And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, 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 gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Sa Bethlehem ng Judea, sapagkat ito ang isinulat ng propeta,
And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is 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, 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 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 secretly called the Magi, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
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 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 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, 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 Nang nakita nila ang bituin, sila ay nagalak nang may labis na kagalakan.
And when they saw 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 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 Binalaan sila ng Diyos sa panaginip na huwag nang bumalik kay Herodes, kaya umiba sila ng daan pauwi sa kanilang bayan.
Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
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”.
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 Sa gabing iyon, bumangon si Jose at kinuha ang bata at ang kaniyang ina at umalis patungong Egipto.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into 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 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 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, 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 At natupad nga ang sinabi sa pamamagitan ng propeta na si Jeremias,
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, 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 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 Nang si Herodes ay namatay, masdan ito, nagpakita sa isang panaginip ang isang anghel ng Panginoon kay Jose sa Egipto at sinabi,
But when Herod was dead, look, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
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.”
"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 Bumangon si Jose at kinuha ang bata at ang kaniyang ina at tumungo sila sa lupain ng Israel.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and went 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
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 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 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.
