Matthew 2
1 Now, when, Jesus, was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! wise men from eastern parts, came into Jerusalem:
| وَلَمَّا وُلِدَ يَسُوعُ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ، فِي أَيَّامِ هِيرُودُسَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِذَا مَجُوسٌ مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ قَدْ جَاءُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ | ١ |
2 saying—Where is he that hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to him.
| قَائِلِينَ: «أَيْنَ هُوَ ٱلْمَوْلُودُ مَلِكُ ٱلْيَهُودِ؟ فَإِنَّنَا رَأَيْنَا نَجْمَهُ فِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَأَتَيْنَا لِنَسْجُدَ لَهُ». | ٢ |
3 But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ هِيرُودُسُ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱضْطَرَبَ وَجَمِيعُ أُورُشَلِيمَ مَعَهُ. | ٣ |
4 and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them—Where is, the Christ, to be born?
| فَجَمَعَ كُلَّ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَكَتَبَةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَسَأَلَهُمْ: «أَيْنَ يُولَدُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ؟». | ٤ |
5 And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, —for, so, is it written through the prophet:
| فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمِ ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ. لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا مَكْتُوبٌ بِٱلنَّبِيِّ: | ٥ |
6 And, thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means least, art thou, among the governors of Judah, —For, out of thee, shall one come forth to govern, Who shall shepherd my people Israel.
| وَأَنْتِ يا بَيْتَ لَحْمٍ، أَرْضَ يَهُوذَا، لَسْتِ ٱلصُّغْرَى بَيْنَ رُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا، لِأَنْ مِنْكِ يَخْرُجُ مُدَبِّرٌ يَرْعَى شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٦ |
7 Then Herod, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star;
| حِينَئِذٍ دَعَا هِيرُودُسُ ٱلْمَجُوسَ سِرًّا، وَتَحَقَّقَ مِنْهُمْ زَمَانَ ٱلنَّجْمِ ٱلَّذِي ظَهَرَ. | ٧ |
8 and sending them to Bethlehem, said—Go search out accurately concerning the child, —and, as soon as ye find it, bring report unto me, that, I also, may come and bow myself down to it.
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ، وَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا وَٱفْحَصُوا بِٱلتَّدْقِيقِ عَنِ ٱلصَّبِيِّ. وَمَتَى وَجَدْتُمُوهُ فَأَخْبِرُونِي، لِكَيْ آتِيَ أَنَا أَيْضًا وَأَسْجُدَ لَهُ». | ٨ |
9 Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was;
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ ذَهَبُوا. وَإِذَا ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَوْهُ فِي ٱلْمَشْرِقِ يَتَقَدَّمُهُمْ حَتَّى جَاءَ وَوَقَفَ فَوْقُ، حَيْثُ كَانَ ٱلصَّبِيُّ. | ٩ |
10 and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;
| فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ٱلنَّجْمَ فَرِحُوا فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا جِدًّا. | ١٠ |
11 and, coming into the house, they saw the child, with Mary its mother, —and, falling down, prostrated themselves unto it, and, opening their treasures, offered unto it gifts—gold and frankincense and myrrh;
| وَأَتَوْا إِلَى ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَرَأَوْا ٱلصَّبِيَّ مَعَ مَرْيَمَ أُمِّهِ. فَخَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ. ثُمَّ فَتَحُوا كُنُوزَهُمْ وَقَدَّمُوا لَهُ هَدَايَا: ذَهَبًا وَلُبَانًا وَمُرًّا. | ١١ |
12 and, being instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.
| ثُمَّ إِذْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي حُلْمٍ أَنْ لَا يَرْجِعُوا إِلَى هِيرُودُسَ، ٱنْصَرَفُوا فِي طَرِيقٍ أُخْرَى إِلَى كُورَتِهِمْ. | ١٢ |
13 Now, when they had retired, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph, saying, Arise, take unto thee the child and its mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there, until I tell thee, —for Herod is about to seek the child, to destroy it.
| وَبَعْدَمَا ٱنْصَرَفُوا، إِذَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَدْ ظَهَرَ لِيُوسُفَ فِي حُلْمٍ قَائِلًا: «قُمْ وَخُذِ ٱلصَّبِيَّ وَأُمَّهُ وَٱهْرُبْ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَكُنْ هُنَاكَ حَتَّى أَقُولَ لَكَ. لِأَنَّ هِيرُودُسَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يَطْلُبَ ٱلصَّبِيَّ لِيُهْلِكَهُ». | ١٣ |
14 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;
| فَقَامَ وَأَخَذَ ٱلصَّبِيَّ وَأُمَّهُ لَيْلًا وَٱنْصَرَفَ إِلَى مِصْرَ. | ١٤ |
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, called I my son.
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ إِلَى وَفَاةِ هِيرُودُسَ. لِكَيْ يَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ بِٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلْقَائِلِ: «مِنْ مِصْرَ دَعَوْتُ ٱبْنِي». | ١٥ |
16 Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly enraged, —and sent and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.
| حِينَئِذٍ لَمَّا رَأَى هِيرُودُسُ أَنَّ ٱلْمَجُوسَ سَخِرُوا بِهِ غَضِبَ جِدًّا. فَأَرْسَلَ وَقَتَلَ جَمِيعَ ٱلصِّبْيَانِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي بَيْتِ لَحْمٍ وَفِي كُلِّ تُخُومِهَا، مِنِ ٱبْنِ سَنَتَيْنِ فَمَا دُونُ، بِحَسَبِ ٱلزَّمَانِ ٱلَّذِي تَحَقَّقَهُ مِنَ ٱلْمَجُوسِ. | ١٦ |
17 Then was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
| حِينَئِذٍ تَمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِإِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ ٱلْقَائِلِ: | ١٧ |
18 A voice, in Ramah, was heard, weeping and great mourning, —Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, —because they are not.
| «صَوْتٌ سُمِعَ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ، نَوْحٌ وَبُكَاءٌ وَعَوِيلٌ كَثِيرٌ. رَاحِيلُ تَبْكِي عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا وَلَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَتَعَزَّى، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا بِمَوْجُودِينَ». | ١٨ |
19 But, when Herod was, dead, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph in Egypt;
| فَلَمَّا مَاتَ هِيرُودُسُ، إِذَا مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَدْ ظَهَرَ فِي حُلْمٍ لِيُوسُفَ فِي مِصْرَ | ١٩ |
20 saying—Arise! and take unto thee the child and its mother, and be journeying into the land of Israel, —for they are dead, who were seeking the life of the child.
| قَائِلًا: «قُمْ وَخُذِ ٱلصَّبِيَّ وَأُمَّهُ وَٱذْهَبْ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسَ ٱلصَّبِيِّ». | ٢٠ |
21 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.
| فَقَامَ وَأَخَذَ ٱلصَّبِيَّ وَأُمَّهُ وَجَاءَ إِلَى أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢١ |
22 Hearing, however, that, Archelaus, was reigning over Judaea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid, thither, to go, —and so, being instructed by dream, he retired into the parts of Galilee;
| وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا سَمِعَ أَنَّ أَرْخِيلَاوُسَ يَمْلِكُ عَلَى ٱلْيَهُودِيَّةِ عِوَضًا عَنْ هِيرُودُسَ أَبِيهِ، خَافَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ. وَإِذْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ فِي حُلْمٍ، ٱنْصَرَفَ إِلَى نَوَاحِي ٱلْجَلِيلِ. | ٢٢ |
23 and came and fixed his dwelling in a city called Nazareth, —that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets—A Nazarene, shall he be called.
| وَأَتَى وَسَكَنَ فِي مَدِينَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا نَاصِرَةُ، لِكَيْ يَتِمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ: «إِنَّهُ سَيُدْعَى نَاصِرِيًّا». | ٢٣ |
