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,
Cum ergo natus esset Iesus in Bethlehem Iuda in diebus Herodis regis, ecce Magi ab oriente venerunt Ierosolymam,
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.”
dicentes: Ubi est qui natus est rex Iudaeorum? vidimus enim stellam eius in oriente, et venimus adorare eum.
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Audiens autem Herodes rex, turbatus est, et omnis Ierosolyma cum illo.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Et congregans omnes principes sacerdotum, et Scribas populi, sciscitabatur ab eis ubi Christus nasceretur.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
At illi dixerunt ei: In Bethlehem Iuda: Sic enim scriptum est per Prophetam:
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.’”
Et tu Bethlehem terra Iuda, nequaquam minima es in principibus Iuda: ex te enim exiet dux, qui regat populum meum Israel.
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Tunc Herodes clam vocatis Magis diligenter didicit ab eis tempus stellae, quae apparuit eis:
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.”
et mittens illos in Bethlehem, dixit: Ite, et interrogate diligenter de puero: et cum inveneritis, renunciate mihi, ut et ego veniens adorem eum.
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.
Qui cum audissent regem, abierunt. et ecce stella, quam viderant in oriente, antecedebat eos, usquedum veniens staret supra, ubi erat puer.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Videntes autem stellam gavisi sunt gaudio magno valde.
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.
Et intrantes domum, invenerunt puerum cum Maria matre eius, et procidentes adoraverunt eum: et apertis thesauris suis obtulerunt ei munera, aurum, tus, et myrrham.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Et responso accepto in somnis ne redirent ad Herodem, per aliam viam reversi sunt in regionem suam.
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.”
Qui cum recessissent, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis Ioseph, dicens: Surge, accipe puerum, et matrem eius, et fuge in Aegyptum, et esto ibi usque dum dicam tibi. Futurum est enim ut Herodes quaerat puerum ad perdendum eum.
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Qui consurgens accepit puerum, et matrem eius nocte, et secessit in Aegyptum:
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.”
et erat ibi usque ad obitum Herodis: ut adimpleretur quod dictum est a Domino per Prophetam dicentem: Ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum.
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.
Tunc Herodes videns quoniam illusus esset a Magis, iratus est valde, et mittens occidit omnes pueros, qui erant in Bethlehem, et in omnibus finibus eius a bimatu et infra secundum tempus, quod exquisierat a Magis.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Tunc adimpletum est quod dictum est per Ieremiam prophetam dicentem:
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.”
Vox in Rama audita est ploratus, et ululatus multus: Rachel plorans filios suos, et noluit consolari, quia non sunt.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Defuncto autem Herode, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis Ioseph in Aegypto,
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.”
dicens: Surge, et accipe puerum, et matrem eius, et vade in terram Israel: defuncti sunt enim, qui quaerebant animam pueri.
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Qui consurgens, accepit puerum, et matrem eius, et venit in terram 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,
Audiens autem quod Archelaus regnaret in Iudaea pro Herode patre suo, timuit illo ire: et admonitus in somnis, secessit in partes Galilaeae.
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.
Et veniens habitavit in civitate quae vocatur Nazareth: ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Prophetas: Quoniam Nazaraeus vocabitur.
