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 Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came Magi from the east unto 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 the king of the Jews that is born? For we have seen 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 Herod the king heard, and he was disturbed; 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 he assembled all the chiefs of the priests and the scribes of the people, and inquired of them, Where is the birthplace of the Messiah?
5 Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Sa Bethlehem ng Judea, sapagkat ito ang isinulat ng propeta,
And they said: In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written in 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.'”
Thou also, Bethlehem of Judaea, art not the little among the kings of Judaea, for a king shall come from thee who shall rule 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 privately called the Magi, and learned from them at what time the star appeared to them.
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 to them, Go, search diligently for the child; and when ye have found him, come and tell me, that I also may go 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, when they had heard from the king, went forward: and lo, the star they had seen in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.
10 Nang nakita nila ang bituin, sila ay nagalak nang may labis na kagalakan.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced much, with 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 entered the house; and they saw the child, with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him: and they opened their treasures, and presented to him gifts, gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
12 Binalaan sila ng Diyos sa panaginip na huwag nang bumalik kay Herodes, kaya umiba sila ng daan pauwi sa kanilang bayan.
And it was shown them in a dream, that they should not return to Herod. And by another way, they returned to their country.
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 when they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt; and be thou there, until I tell thee: for Herod will seek for the child, to destroy it.
14 Sa gabing iyon, bumangon si Jose at kinuha ang bata at ang kaniyang ina at umalis patungong Egipto.
Then Joseph arose, took the child and his mother, by night, and fled 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 so might be fulfilled that which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, From Egypt have 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 had been deluded by the Magi, was very angry. And he sent and slew all the children in Bethlehem, and in all its confines, from a child of two years and under, according to the time that he had carefully learned from the Magi.
17 At natupad nga ang sinabi sa pamamagitan ng propeta na si Jeremias,
Then was that fulfilled, 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 was heard in Rama, weeping and great lamentation; Rachel bemoaning her children, and unwilling to 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 king Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord appeared 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.”
and said to him: Arise, take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they are dead who sought 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 Joseph arose, and took the 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 king in Judaea, instead of his father Herod, he feared to go thither. And it was revealed to him in a dream, that he should go into the land 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 he came and dwelt in a city that is called Nazareth: that so might be fulfilled that which was said by the prophet, that he should be called a Nazarene.
