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:
E sendo Jesus já nascido em Belém da Judeia, nos dias do rei Herodes, eis que vieram uns magos do oriente a Jerusalém,
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.
Dizendo: Onde está o Rei nascido dos Judeus? Porque vimos sua estrela no oriente, e viemos adorá-lo.
3 But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
E o rei Herodes, ao ouvir [isto], ficou perturbado, e com ele toda Jerusalém.
4 and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them—Where is, the Christ, to be born?
E tendo reunido todos os chefes dos sacerdotes e escribas do povo, perguntou-lhes onde o Cristo havia de nascer.
5 And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, —for, so, is it written through the prophet:
E eles lhe disseram: Em Belém da Judeia, porque assim está escrito pelo profeta:
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.
E tu Belém, terra de Judá, de maneira nenhuma és a menor entre as lideranças de Judá, porque de ti sairá o Guia que apascentará meu povo Israel.
7 Then Herod, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star;
Então Herodes, chamando secretamente os magos, perguntou-lhes com precisão sobre o tempo em que a estrela havia aparecido.
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.
E enviando-os a Belém, disse: Ide, e investigai cuidadosamente pelo menino; e quando o achardes, avisai-me, para que também eu venha e o adore.
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;
Depois de ouvirem o rei, eles foram embora. E eis que a estrela que tinham visto no oriente ia adiante deles, até que ela chegou, e ficou parada sobre onde o menino estava.
10 and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;
E eles, vendo a estrela, jubilaram muito com grande alegria.
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;
E entrando na casa, acharam o menino com sua mãe Maria, e prostrando-se o adoraram. E abrindo seus tesouros, ofereceram-lhe presentes: ouro, incenso, e mirra.
12 and, being instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.
E sendo por divina revelação avisados em sonho que não voltassem a Herodes, partiram para sua terra por outro caminho.
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.
E tendo eles partido, eis que um anjo do Senhor apareceu a José em sonho, dizendo: Levanta-te, toma o menino e sua mãe, e foge para o Egito; e fica lá até que eu te diga, porque Herodes buscará o menino para o matar.
14 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;
Então ele se despertou, tomou o menino e sua mãe de noite, e foi para o Egito;
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.
E esteve lá até a morte de Herodes, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelo Senhor por meio do profeta, que disse: Do Egito chamei o meu Filho.
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.
Então Herodes, ao ver que tinha sido enganado pelos magos, irou-se muito, e mandou matar todos os meninos em Belém e em todos os limites de sua região, [da idade] de dois anos e abaixo, conforme o tempo que tinha perguntado com precisão dos magos.
17 Then was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Então se cumpriu o que foi dito pelo profeta Jeremias, que disse:
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.
Uma voz se ouviu em Ramá, choro, e grande pranto; Raquel chorava por seus filhos, e não quis ser consolada, pois já não existem.
19 But, when Herod was, dead, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph in Egypt;
Mas depois de Herodes ter morrido, eis que um anjo do Senhor apareceu no Egito a José em sonho,
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.
Dizendo: Levanta-te, toma o menino e sua mãe, e vai para a terra de Israel, porque já morreram os que procuravam a morte do menino.
21 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.
Então ele se levantou, tomou o menino e sua mãe, e veio para a terra de 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;
Porém ao ouvir que Arquelau reinava na Judeia em lugar de seu pai Herodes, ele teve medo de ir para lá; mas avisado por divina revelação em sonho, foi para a região da Galileia,
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.
E veio a habitar na cidade chamada Nazaré, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelos profetas, que: Ele será chamado de Nazareno.
