Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
Yesus dilahirkan di kota Betlehem di negeri Yudea pada masa pemerintahan Raja Herodes. Pada waktu itu beberapa ahli ilmu bintang dari Timur datang ke Yerusalem.
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
Mereka bertanya di mana-mana, "Di manakah Anak itu, yang lahir untuk menjadi raja orang Yahudi? Kami melihat bintang-Nya terbit di sebelah timur, dan kami datang untuk menyembah Dia."
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Ketika Raja Herodes mendengar hal itu, ia terkejut sekali, begitu juga semua orang di Yerusalem.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Maka ia menyuruh semua imam kepala dan guru-guru agama bangsa Yahudi datang berkumpul. Lalu ia bertanya kepada mereka, "Di manakah akan lahir Raja yang dijanjikan Allah?"
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Mereka menjawab, "Di kota Betlehem di negeri Yudea. Sebab beginilah ditulis oleh seorang nabi,
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
'Engkau Betlehem, di negeri Yehuda, engkau sekali-kali bukanlah yang terkecil di antara kota-kota utama di Yehuda. Karena dari engkau akan datang seorang pemimpin yang akan memimpin umat-Ku Israel.'"
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Sesudah mendapat keterangan itu, Herodes memanggil ahli-ahli bintang dari Timur itu secara diam-diam. Lalu ia bertanya kepada mereka kapan tepatnya bintang itu mulai kelihatan.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
Sesudah itu ia menyuruh mereka ke Betlehem dengan pesan ini, "Pergilah, carilah Anak itu dengan teliti. Dan kalau kalian menemukan Dia, beritahukanlah kepadaku, supaya aku juga pergi menyembah Dia."
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
Lalu pergilah mereka. Mereka melihat lagi bintang yang mereka lihat dahulu di sebelah timur. Alangkah gembiranya mereka melihat bintang itu! Bintang itu mendahului mereka, lalu berhenti tepat di atas tempat Anak itu.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Mereka masuk ke dalam rumah itu dan melihat Anak itu dengan Maria, ibu-Nya. Mereka sujud dan menyembah Anak itu, lalu membuka tempat harta mereka, dan mempersembahkan kepada-Nya emas, kemenyan, dan mur.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Allah memperingatkan mereka di dalam mimpi supaya jangan kembali kepada Herodes. Jadi mereka pulang melalui jalan yang lain.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, 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.”
Setelah ahli-ahli bintang itu berangkat, malaikat Tuhan menampakkan diri kepada Yusuf di dalam mimpi. Malaikat itu berkata, "Herodes bermaksud mencari Anak itu untuk membunuh Dia. Karena itu bangunlah, bawalah Anak itu dengan ibu-Nya mengungsi ke Mesir. Tinggallah di sana sampai Aku berbicara lagi kepadamu."
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Yusuf bangun, dan malam itu juga ia membawa Anak itu dengan ibu-Nya mengungsi ke Mesir.
15 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.”
Mereka tinggal di sana sampai Herodes meninggal. Demikian terjadilah apa yang dikatakan Tuhan melalui nabi-Nya, begini, "Aku memanggil Anak-Ku dari Mesir."
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, 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 wise men.
Ketika Herodes tahu bahwa ahli-ahli bintang dari Timur itu menipunya, ia marah sekali. Lalu ia memerintahkan untuk membunuh semua anak laki-laki yang berumur dua tahun ke bawah di Betlehem dan sekitarnya. Itu cocok dengan keterangan yang didapatnya dari ahli-ahli bintang itu tentang saatnya bintang itu kelihatan.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Demikianlah terjadi apa yang pernah dikatakan oleh Nabi Yeremia, yaitu,
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
"Di Rama terdengar suara ratapan, keluhan serta tangisan. Rahel meratapi anak-anaknya; ia tak mau dihibur sebab mereka sudah tiada."
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Sesudah Herodes meninggal, ketika Yusuf masih di Mesir seorang malaikat Tuhan menampakkan diri lagi kepada Yusuf di dalam mimpi.
20 “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.”
Malaikat itu berkata, "Orang-orang yang mau membunuh Anak itu sudah meninggal. Karena itu bangunlah, ambil Anak itu dengan ibu-Nya dan kembalilah ke Israel."
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Yusuf pun bangun, lalu membawa Anak itu dengan Maria kembali ke Israel.
22 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,
Tetapi kemudian Yusuf mendengar bahwa Arkelaus, putra Herodes sudah menggantikan ayahnya menjadi raja negeri Yudea. Jadi Yusuf takut pergi ke sana. Sesudah ia mendapat petunjuk Tuhan lebih lanjut dalam mimpi, ia pergi ke daerah Galilea.
23 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 Nazarene.
Di situ ia tinggal di kota yang bernama Nazaret. Dengan demikian terjadilah apa yang dikatakan oleh nabi-nabi mengenai Anak itu: "Ia akan disebut Orang Nazaret."
