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:
Ko je bil torej Jezus rojen v Betlehemu, v Judeji, v dneh kralja Heroda, glej, so od vzhoda v Jeruzalem prišli modri možje,
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.
rekoč: »Kje je tisti judovski Kralj, ki je rojen? Kajti njegovo zvezdo smo videli na vzhodu in prišli smo, da ga obožujemo.«
3 But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
Ko je kralj Herod slišal te besede, je bil zaskrbljen in z njim ves Jeruzalem.
4 and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them—Where is, the Christ, to be born?
In ko je zbral skupaj vse visoke duhovnike in pisarje izmed ljudstva, jih je povprašal, kje naj bi bil Kristus rojen.
5 And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, —for, so, is it written through the prophet:
Rekli so mu: »V judejskem Betlehemu, kajti tako je napisano po preroku:
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.
›In ti Betlehem, v deželi Judovi, nisi najmanjši med Judovimi princi, kajti iz tebe bo prišel Voditelj, ki bo vladal mojemu ljudstvu Izraelu.‹«
7 Then Herod, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star;
Tedaj je Herod, ko je na skrivnem poklical modre može, od njih marljivo poizvedel, kdaj se je zvezda prikazala.
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.
In poslal jih je v Betlehem ter rekel: »Pojdite in marljivo iščite za mladim otrokom in ko ga boste našli, mi ponovno prinesite sporočilo, da lahko tudi jaz pridem in ga obožujem.«
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;
Ko so slišali kralja, so odšli. In glej, zvezda, ki so jo videli na vzhodu, je šla pred njimi, dokler ni prišla in obstala zgoraj, kjer je bil mladi otrok.
10 and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;
Ko so zagledali zvezdo, so se razveselili s silno veliko radostjo.
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;
In ko so prišli v hišo, so zagledali mladega otroka z Marijo, njegovo materjo in padli dol ter ga oboževali. In ko so odprli svoje zaklade, so mu izročili darila: zlato in kadilo in miro.
12 and, being instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.
In od Boga v sanjah posvarjeni, da naj se ne bi vrnili k Herodu, so po drugi poti odšli v svojo lastno deželo.
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.
In ko so odšli, glej, se je Jožefu v sanjah prikazal Gospodov angel, rekoč: »Vstani in vzemi mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter beži v Egipt in bodi tam, dokler ti ne prinesem besede, kajti Herod bo mladega otroka iskal, da ga pokonča.«
14 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;
Ko je vstal, je ponoči vzel mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter odšel v Egipt
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.
in tam je bil do Herodove smrti, da bi se lahko izpolnilo, kar je bilo rečeno od Gospoda po preroku, rekoč: »Iz Egipta sem poklical svojega sina.«
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.
Potem je bil Herod, ko je videl, da je bil zasmehovan od modrih mož, silno ogorčen in poslal ter usmrtil vse otroke, ki so bili v Betlehemu in v vseh teh krajih, od dveh let starosti in mlajše, glede na čas, ki ga je marljivo poizvedel od modrih mož.
17 Then was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Tedaj je bilo izpolnjeno to, kar je bilo rečeno po preroku Jeremiju, rekoč:
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.
›Tam v Rami je bilo slišati glas, objokovanje in jokanje ter veliko žalovanje. Rahela je jokala za svojimi otroki, pa ne bo potolažena, ker jih ni več.‹
19 But, when Herod was, dead, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph in Egypt;
Toda ko je bil Herod mrtev, glej, se Gospodov angel prikaže Jožefu v sanjah v Egiptu,
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.
rekoč: »Vstani in vzemi mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter pojdi v Izraelovo deželo, kajti tisti, ki so mlademu otroku stregli po življenju, so mrtvi.«
21 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.
In vstal je in vzel mladega otroka in njegovo mater ter prišel v Izraelovo deželo.
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;
Toda ko je slišal, da je Arhelaj vladal v Judeji namesto svojega očeta Heroda, se je bal iti tja; in v sanjah od Boga posvarjen, se je obrnil proč, v galilejske kraje.
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.
In prišel ter bival v mestu, imenovanem Nazaret, da se je lahko izpolnilo, kar je bilo rečeno po prerokih: »Imenoval se bo Nazarečan.«
