Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
του δε ιησου γεννηθεντοσ εν βηθλεεμ τησ ιουδαιασ εν ημεραισ ηρωδου του βασιλεωσ ιδου μαγοι απο ανατολων παρεγενοντο εισ ιεροσολυμα
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
λεγοντεσ που εστιν ο τεχθεισ βασιλευσ των ιουδαιων ειδομεν γαρ αυτου τον αστερα εν τη ανατολη και ηλθομεν προσκυνησαι αυτω
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
ακουσασ δε ηρωδησ ο βασιλευσ εταραχθη και πασα ιεροσολυμα μετ αυτου
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
και συναγαγων παντασ τουσ αρχιερεισ και γραμματεισ του λαου επυνθανετο παρ αυτων που ο χριστοσ γενναται
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
οι δε ειπον αυτω εν βηθλεεμ τησ ιουδαιασ ουτωσ γαρ γεγραπται δια του προφητου
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
και συ βηθλεεμ γη ιουδα ουδαμωσ ελαχιστη ει εν τοισ ηγεμοσιν ιουδα εκ σου γαρ εξελευσεται ηγουμενοσ οστισ ποιμανει τον λαον μου τον ισραηλ
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
τοτε ηρωδησ λαθρα καλεσασ τουσ μαγουσ ηκριβωσεν παρ αυτων τον χρονον του φαινομενου αστεροσ
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
και πεμψασ αυτουσ εισ βηθλεεμ ειπεν πορευθεντεσ ακριβωσ εξετασατε περι του παιδιου επαν δε ευρητε απαγγειλατε μοι οπωσ καγω ελθων προσκυνησω αυτω
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
οι δε ακουσαντεσ του βασιλεωσ επορευθησαν και ιδου ο αστηρ ον ειδον εν τη ανατολη προηγεν αυτουσ εωσ ελθων εστη επανω ου ην το παιδιον
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
ιδοντεσ δε τον αστερα εχαρησαν χαραν μεγαλην σφοδρα
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
και ελθοντεσ εισ την οικιαν ειδον το παιδιον μετα μαριασ τησ μητροσ αυτου και πεσοντεσ προσεκυνησαν αυτω και ανοιξαντεσ τουσ θησαυρουσ αυτων προσηνεγκαν αυτω δωρα χρυσον και λιβανον και σμυρναν
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
και χρηματισθεντεσ κατ οναρ μη ανακαμψαι προσ ηρωδην δι αλλησ οδου ανεχωρησαν εισ την χωραν αυτων
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
αναχωρησαντων δε αυτων ιδου αγγελοσ κυριου φαινεται κατ οναρ τω ιωσηφ λεγων εγερθεισ παραλαβε το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου και φευγε εισ αιγυπτον και ισθι εκει εωσ αν ειπω σοι μελλει γαρ ηρωδησ ζητειν το παιδιον του απολεσαι αυτο
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
ο δε εγερθεισ παρελαβεν το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου νυκτοσ και ανεχωρησεν εισ αιγυπτον
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 I called my son.”
και ην εκει εωσ τησ τελευτησ ηρωδου ινα πληρωθη το ρηθεν υπο του κυριου δια του προφητου λεγοντοσ εξ αιγυπτου εκαλεσα τον υιον μου
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.
τοτε ηρωδησ ιδων οτι ενεπαιχθη υπο των μαγων εθυμωθη λιαν και αποστειλασ ανειλεν παντασ τουσ παιδασ τουσ εν βηθλεεμ και εν πασιν τοισ οριοισ αυτησ απο διετουσ και κατωτερω κατα τον χρονον ον ηκριβωσεν παρα των μαγων
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
τοτε επληρωθη το ρηθεν υπο ιερεμιου του προφητου λεγοντοσ
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
φωνη εν ραμα ηκουσθη θρηνοσ και κλαυθμοσ και οδυρμοσ πολυσ ραχηλ κλαιουσα τα τεκνα αυτησ και ουκ ηθελεν παρακληθηναι οτι ουκ εισιν
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
τελευτησαντοσ δε του ηρωδου ιδου αγγελοσ κυριου κατ οναρ φαινεται τω ιωσηφ εν αιγυπτω
20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
λεγων εγερθεισ παραλαβε το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου και πορευου εισ γην ισραηλ τεθνηκασιν γαρ οι ζητουντεσ την ψυχην του παιδιου
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
ο δε εγερθεισ παρελαβεν το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου και ηλθεν εισ γην ισραηλ
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
ακουσασ δε οτι αρχελαοσ βασιλευει επι τησ ιουδαιασ αντι ηρωδου του πατροσ αυτου εφοβηθη εκει απελθειν χρηματισθεισ δε κατ οναρ ανεχωρησεν εισ τα μερη τησ γαλιλαιασ
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.
και ελθων κατωκησεν εισ πολιν λεγομενην ναζαρετ οπωσ πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια των προφητων οτι ναζωραιοσ κληθησεται
