Mattheum 2
1 Cum ergo natus esset Iesus in Bethlehem Iuda in diebus Herodis regis, ecce Magi ab oriente venerunt Ierosolymam,
Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 dicentes: Ubi est qui natus est rex Iudaeorum? vidimus enim stellam eius in oriente, et venimus adorare eum.
Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
3 Audiens autem Herodes rex, turbatus est, et omnis Ierosolyma cum illo.
And Herod the king having heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Et congregans omnes principes sacerdotum, et Scribas populi, sciscitabatur ab eis ubi Christus nasceretur.
And having gathered together all the chief priests and scholars of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ is born.
5 At illi dixerunt ei: In Bethlehem Iuda: Sic enim scriptum est per Prophetam:
And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea. For thus it is written through the prophet,
6 Et tu Bethlehem terra Iuda, nequaquam minima es in principibus Iuda: ex te enim exiet dux, qui regat populum meum Israel.
And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah, for out of thee will come forth a man who rules, who will tend my people Israel.
7 Tunc Herodes clam vocatis Magis diligenter didicit ab eis tempus stellae, quae apparuit eis:
Then Herod having called the wise men privately, ascertained from them what time the star appeared.
8 et mittens illos in Bethlehem, dixit: Ite, et interrogate diligenter de puero: et cum inveneritis, renunciate mihi, ut et ego veniens adorem eum.
And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, After going, search diligently about the child. And when ye find him, report to me, so that I also having come, may worship him.
9 Qui cum audissent regem, abierunt. et ecce stella, quam viderant in oriente, antecedebat eos, usquedum veniens staret supra, ubi erat puer.
And when they heard the king, they departed. And lo, the star that they saw in the east went before them until, having come, it stood over where the child was.
10 Videntes autem stellam gavisi sunt gaudio magno valde.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 Et intrantes domum, invenerunt puerum cum Maria matre eius, et procidentes adoraverunt eum: et apertis thesauris suis obtulerunt ei munera, aurum, tus, et myrrham.
And having come into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down, they worshiped him. And having opened their treasures, they brought to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 Et responso accepto in somnis ne redirent ad Herodem, per aliam viam reversi sunt in regionem suam.
And divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another way.
13 Qui cum recessissent, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis Ioseph, dicens: Surge, accipe puerum, et matrem eius, et fuge in Aegyptum, et esto ibi usque dum dicam tibi. Futurum est enim ut Herodes quaerat puerum ad perdendum eum.
Now after they departed, behold, an agent of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, After rising, take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and thou be there until I tell thee, for Herod is going to seek the child to destroy it.
14 Qui consurgens accepit puerum, et matrem eius nocte, et secessit in Aegyptum:
And having awakened, he took the child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.
15 et erat ibi usque ad obitum Herodis: ut adimpleretur quod dictum est a Domino per Prophetam dicentem: Ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum.
And he was there until the end of Herod, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, Out of Egypt I called my Son.
16 Tunc Herodes videns quoniam illusus esset a Magis, iratus est valde, et mittens occidit omnes pueros, qui erant in Bethlehem, et in omnibus finibus eius a bimatu et infra secundum tempus, quod exquisierat a Magis.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was scorned by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and having sent forth, he killed all the boys in Bethlehem, and in all the borders of it, from two years old and under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men.
17 Tunc adimpletum est quod dictum est per Ieremiam prophetam dicentem:
Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, which says,
18 Vox in Rama audita est ploratus, et ululatus multus: Rachel plorans filios suos, et noluit consolari, quia non sunt.
A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children. And she did not want to be comforted, because they are not.
19 Defuncto autem Herode, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis Ioseph in Aegypto,
But when Herod perished, behold, an agent of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 dicens: Surge, et accipe puerum, et matrem eius, et vade in terram Israel: defuncti sunt enim, qui quaerebant animam pueri.
After rising, take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those seeking the child's life have died.
21 Qui consurgens, accepit puerum, et matrem eius, et venit in terram Israel.
And having awaken, he took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Audiens autem quod Archelaus regnaret in Iudaea pro Herode patre suo, timuit illo ire: et admonitus in somnis, secessit in partes Galilaeae.
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee.
23 Et veniens habitavit in civitate quae vocatur Nazareth: ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Prophetas: Quoniam Nazaraeus vocabitur.
And having come, he dwelt in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, that he will be called a Nazarene.
