1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in [the] days of Herod the king behold Magi from [the] east arrived in Jerusalem
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
saying; Where is the [One] having been born King of the Jews? We saw for His star in the east and are come to worship Him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Having heard then King Herod he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him,
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
And having gathered together all the chief priests and scribes of the people he was inquiring of them where the Christ is born.
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
And they said to him; In Bethlehem of Judea. thus for it has been written through the prophet:
6 And you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
And you yourself Bethlehem land of Judah, by no means least are among the rulers of Judah; out of you for will go forth [One] leading who will shepherd the people of Mine Israel.’
7 Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Then Herod secretly having called the Magi inquired exactly of them the time of the appearing star,
8 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 again, that I may come and worship him also.
And having sent them to Bethlehem he said; Having gone do search carefully for the Child. when then You may have found [Him], do bring word back to me so that I myself also I myself also having come may worship Him.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, see, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
And having heard the king they went away. and behold the star which they saw in the east was going before them until having arrived (it was stood *N+kO) over where was the Child.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
And having come into the house (they saw *NK+o) the Child with Mary the mother of Him, and having fallen down they worshiped Him, and having opened the treasures of them they offered to Him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
And having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another route they withdrew into the country of them.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be you there until I bring you word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

and he was remaining there until the death of Herod, so that it may be fulfilled that having been spoken by (the *k) Lord through the prophet saying; Out of Egypt I called the Son of mine.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
Then Herod having seen that he had been outwitted by the Magi was enraged intensely, and having sent forth he executed all the boys that [were] in Bethlehem and in all the vicinity of it from two years old and under according to the time which he had ascertained from the Magi.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
Then was fulfilled that having been spoken (through *N+kO) Jeremiah the prophet saying;
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
A voice in Ramah was heard, (lamentation and *K) weeping and mourning great, Rachel weeping [for] the children of her, and not was willing to be comforted because no more they are.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
When was dying now Herod behold an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.
saying; Having arisen do take the Child and the mother of Him and do go into [the] land of Israel; they have died for those seeking the life of the Child.
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
And having arisen he took the Child and the mother of Him and (entered *N+kO) into [the] land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

and having come he dwelt in a city being named Nazareth, so that it may be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophets that A Nazarene He will be called.
