Matthew 2
1 Jesus was born in Bethlehem [town] in Judea [province] during the time [MTY] that King Herod [the Great ruled there. Some time] after Jesus was born, some men who studied the stars and who lived in a [country] east [of Judea] came to Jerusalem.
Amikor pedig megszületett Jézus a júdeai Betlehemben, Heródes király idejében, íme, napkeletről bölcsek jöttek Jeruzsálembe, és ezt mondták:
2 They asked [people], “Where is the one who has been born [in order that he might be] the king of [you] Jews? [We believe that your new king] has been born, because we have seen the star [that we believe indicated that] he has been [born]. [We saw it while we were in our country] east [of here]. So we have come to worship him.”
„Hol van a zsidók királya, aki megszületett? Mert láttuk csillagát napkeleten, és azért jöttünk, hogy tisztességet tegyünk neki.“
3 When King Herod heard [what those men were asking], he became worried [that someone else might be proclaimed] {[people might proclaim someone else]} [king of the Jews to replace him]. Many [of the people] of Jerusalem [MTY, HYP] [also] became worried [because they were afraid of what King Herod might do].
Amikor Heródes király ezt meghallotta, felháborodott, és vele együtt az egész Jeruzsálem.
4 Then Herod gathered together all the ruling priests and men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws and he asked them where [the prophets had predicted that] the Messiah was to be born.
Egybegyűjtött minden főpapot és a nép írástudóit, és tudakozódott tőlük, hogy hol kell Krisztusnak megszületnie.
5 They said to him, “[He will be born] in Bethlehem, [here] in Judea [province], because it was written by the prophet [Micah] {the prophet [Micah] wrote} [long ago what God said]:
Azok pedig ezt mondták neki: „A júdeai Betlehemben, mert így írta meg a próféta:
6 ‘You [who live in] Bethlehem [APO], in Judea [province], your town is certainly very important [LIT], because a man from your [town] will become a ruler. He will guide my people [who live in] Israel.’”
»És te, Betlehem, Júdának földje, semmiképpen sem vagy legkisebb Júda fejedelmi városai között, mert belőled származik a fejedelem, aki legeltetni fogja népemet, Izraelt.«“
7 Then [King] Herod secretly summoned those men who studied the stars. He asked them exactly when the star [first] appeared. [By what they told him, he was able to know the approximate age of the baby].
Ekkor Heródes titkon hívatta a bölcseket, szorgalmasan megtudakolta tőlük a csillag megjelenésének idejét.
8 Then he [concealed what he really planned to do and] said to them, “Go to Bethlehem and inquire thoroughly [where] the infant is. When you have found him, [come back and] report to me so that I, myself, can go [there and] worship him, too.”
Elküldte őket Betlehembe, és azt mondta nekik: „Menjetek el, szorgalmasan kérdezősködjetek a gyermek felől, mihelyt pedig megtaláljátok, adjátok tudtomra, hogy én is elmenjek, és tisztességet tegyek neki.“
9 After the men heard what the king [told them], they went [toward Bethlehem]. To their surprise, the star that they had seen while they were in the eastern [country] went ahead of them [again] until it stood above [the house] where the child was.
Ők pedig a király beszédét meghallgatták, és elindultak. És íme, a csillag, amelyet napkeleten láttak, előttük ment mindaddig, amíg odaérve megállt a hely fölött, ahol a gyermek volt.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced greatly [and followed it].
Amikor meglátták a csillagot, igen nagy örömmel örvendeztek.
11 They [found] the house and entered it and saw the child and his mother, Mary. They bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasure [boxes] [MTY] and they gave gold, [costly] frankincense, and myrrh to him.
Bementek a házba, ott találták a gyermeket anyjával, Máriával, és leborulva tisztességet tettek neki, kincseiket kitárva ajándékot adtak neki: aranyat, tömjént és mirhát.
12 [Because] God [knew that King Herod planned to kill Jesus], in a dream the men who studied the stars were warned {he warned the men who studied the stars} that they should not return to [King] Herod. So they returned to their country, [but instead of traveling back on the same road, they] went on a different road.
Mivel álmukban intést kaptak, hogy Heródeshez vissza ne menjenek, más úton tértek vissza hazájukba.
13 After the men who studied the stars left [Bethlehem], an angel [from] the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. He said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you [(sg) that you should leave], because [King] Herod is about [to send soldiers] to look for the child so that they can kill him.”
Mikor pedig elmentek, megjelent Józsefnek az Úr angyala álmában, és mondta neki: „Kelj fel, vedd a gyermeket és anyját, fuss Egyiptomba, és maradj ott, amíg én mondom neked, mert Heródes halálra fogja keresni a gyermeket.“
14 So Joseph got up, he took the child and his mother [that] night, and they fled to Egypt.
Ő pedig felkelt, vette a gyermeket és anyját még éjjel, és Egyiptomba ment.
15 They stayed there until [King] Herod died, [and then they left Egypt]. By doing that, it was {they} fulfilled what the prophet [Hosea] wrote, which had been said by the Lord {which the Lord had said}, I have told my son to come out of Egypt.
És ott volt egészen Heródes haláláig, hogy beteljesedjék, amit az Úr mondott a próféta által, aki így szólt: „Egyiptomból hívtam ki az én fiamat.“
16 [While King] Herod [was still living], because he realized that he had been tricked by the men who studied the stars {the men who studied the stars had tricked him}, he became furious. Then, [assuming that Jesus was still in Bethlehem or the surrounding regions], Herod sent [soldiers there] to kill all the boy babies two years old and younger. [Herod calculated how old the baby was], according to what the men who studied the stars told him [about when the star first appeared].
Ekkor Heródes látta, hogy a bölcsek megcsúfolták őt, szerfölött felháborodott, kiküldte embereit, és megöletett Betlehemben és annak egész környékén minden kétesztendős és azon aluli gyermeket a szerint az idő szerint, ahogyan azt pontosan megtudta a bölcsektől.
17 [Because Bethlehem and Ramah towns were in the area where the descendants of Jacob’s wife Rachel lived, when soldiers killed the infant boys], they fulfilled what Jeremiah the prophet wrote,
Ekkor teljesedett be, amit Jeremiás próféta mondott, midőn így szólt:
18 [Women] in Ramah were weeping and wailing loudly. [Women who were the descendants] of Rachel, [the ancestor of the women there] [SYN], were grieving for [what happened to] their children. [Even though people tried to comfort them], they would not be comforted {stop mourning}, because their children were dead.
„Szó hallatszott Rámában, sírás-rívás és sok keserves jajgatás. Ráhel siratta fiait, és nem akart megvigasztalódni, hogy nincsenek.“
19 After Herod died [and while Joseph and his family were still in Egypt], an angel that the Lord [had sent] appeared to Joseph in Egypt in a dream.
Mikor pedig Heródes meghalt, íme, az Úr angyala megjelent álmában Józsefnek Egyiptomban,
20 He said to Joseph, “Take the child and his mother and go back to Israel [to live], because the people who were looking for the child [in order to kill him] have died.”
és ezt mondta: „Kelj fel, vedd a gyermeket és anyját, és eredj Izrael földjére, mert meghaltak, akik a gyermeket halálra keresték.“
21 So Joseph took the child and his mother, and they went back to Israel.
Ő pedig felkelt, magához vette a gyermeket és anyját, és elment Izrael földjére.
22 When Joseph heard that Archaelaus now ruled in Judea [district] instead of his father, [King] Herod [the Great], he was afraid to go there. Because he was warned {[God] warned Joseph} in a dream [that it was still dangerous for them to live in Judea], he [and Mary and Jesus] went to Galilee [District]
Amikor pedig hallotta, hogy Júdeában Arkhelaosz uralkodik Heródesnek, atyjának helyén, nem mert odamenni, hanem miután álmában figyelmeztetést kapott, Galileába ment.
23 to Nazareth [to live there]. The result was that what had been said by the ancient prophets {what the ancient prophets had said} [about the Messiah], that he would be called {people would call him} a Nazareth-man, was fulfilled {came true}.
Odaérkezve a Názáret nevű városkában lakott, hogy beteljesedjék, amit a próféták mondtak, hogy názáretinek fogják nevezni.
