Matthew 2
1 Now when Yeshua was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
イエスはヘロデ王の時、ユダヤのベツレヘムに生れ給ひしが、視よ、東の博士たちエルサレムに來りて言ふ、
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.”
『ユダヤ人の王とて生れ給へる者は、何處に在すか。我ら東にてその星を見たれば、拜せんために來れり』
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
ヘロデ王これを聞きて惱みまどふ、エルサレムも皆 然り。
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Messiah would be born.
王、民の祭司長・學者らを皆あつめて、キリストの何處に生るべきを問ひ質す。
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
かれら言ふ『ユダヤのベツレヘムなり。それは預言者によりて、
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least amongst the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
「ユダの地ベツレヘムよ、汝はユダの長たちの中にて最 小き者にあらず、汝の中より一人の君いでて、わが民イスラエルを牧せん」と録されたるなり』
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learnt from them exactly what time the star appeared.
ここにヘロデ密に博士たちを招きて、星の現れし時を詳細にし、
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.”
彼らをベツレヘムに遣さんとして言ふ『往きて幼兒のことを細にたづね、之にあはば我に告げよ。我も往きて拜せん』
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.
彼ら王の言をききて往きしに、視よ、前に東にて見し星、先だちゆきて、幼兒の在すところの上に止る。
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
かれら星を見て、歡喜に溢れつつ、
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Miriam, his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
家に入りて、幼兒のその母マリヤと偕に在すを見、平伏して拜し、かつ寶の匣をあけて、黄金・乳香・沒藥など禮物を献げたり。
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
かくて夢にてヘロデの許に返るなとの御告を蒙り、ほかの路より己が國に去りゆきぬ。
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.”
その去り往きしのち、視よ、主の使、夢にてヨセフに現れていふ『起きて、幼兒とその母とを携へ、エジプトに逃れ、わが告ぐるまで彼處に留れ。ヘロデ幼兒を索めて亡さんとするなり』
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
ヨセフ起きて、夜の間に幼兒とその母とを携へて、エジプトに去りゆき、
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.”
ヘロデの死ぬるまで彼處に留りぬ。これ主が預言者によりて『我エジプトより我が子を呼び出せり』と云ひ給ひし言の成就せん爲なり。
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 learnt from the wise men.
ここにヘロデ、博士たちに賺されたりと悟りて、甚だしく憤ほり、人を遣し、博士たちに由りて詳細にせし時を計り、ベツレヘム及び凡てその邊の地方なる、二 歳 以下の男の兒をことごとく殺せり。
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
ここに預言者エレミヤによりて云はれたる言は成就したり。曰く、
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.”
『聲ラマにありて聞ゆ、慟哭なり、いとどしき悲哀なり。ラケル己が子らを歎き、子 等のなき故に慰めらるるを厭ふ』
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
ヘロデ死にてのち、視よ、主の使、夢にてエジプトなるヨセフに現れて言ふ、
20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into Eretz-Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
『起きて、幼兒とその母とを携へ、イスラエルの地にゆけ。幼兒の生命を索めし者どもは死にたり』
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into Eretz-Israel.
ヨセフ起きて、幼兒とその母とを携へ、イスラエルの地に到りしに、
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,
アケラオその父ヘロデに代りてユダヤを治むと聞き、彼處に往くことを恐る。また夢にて御告を蒙り、ガリラヤの地方に退き、
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.
ナザレといふ町に到りて住みたり。これは預言者たちに由りて、『彼はナザレ人と呼ばれん』と云はれたる言の成就せん爲なり。
