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:
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 hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to 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 But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
Having heard then King Herod he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him,
4 and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them—Where is, the Christ, to 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, so, is it written through the prophet:
And they said to him; In Bethlehem of Judea. thus for it has been written through the prophet:
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.
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, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star;
Then Herod secretly having called the Magi inquired exactly of them the time of the appearing star,
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.
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 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;
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 and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;
Having seen now the star they rejoiced [with] joy great exceedingly,
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;
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 instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.
And having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another route they withdrew into the country of them.
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.
When were withdrawing then they behold an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph saying; Having arisen do take the Child and the mother of Him and do flee into Egypt and do remain there until when I may tell you; is about for Herod is to seek the Child to destroy Him.
14 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;
And having arisen he took the Child and the mother of Him by night and withdrew into Egypt,
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.
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, 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.
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 through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Then was fulfilled that having been spoken (through *N+kO) Jeremiah the prophet saying;
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.
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, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto 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 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.
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, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered 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 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;
Having heard now that Archelaus rules (upon *ko) Judea in place of the father of him Herod he was afraid there to go. having been divinely warned now in a dream he withdrew into the district of Galilee,
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.
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.
