mathiḥ 2
1 anantaraṁ herod saṁjñake rājñi rājyaṁ śāsati yihūdīyadeśasya baitlehami nagare yīśau jātavati ca, katipayā jyotirvvudaḥ pūrvvasyā diśo yirūśālamnagaraṁ sametya kathayamāsuḥ,
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, look, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 yo yihūdīyānāṁ rājā jātavān, sa kutrāste? vayaṁ pūrvvasyāṁ diśi tiṣṭhantastadīyāṁ tārakām apaśyāma tasmāt taṁ praṇantum agamāma|
"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 tadā herod rājā kathāmetāṁ niśamya yirūśālamnagarasthitaiḥ sarvvamānavaiḥ sārddham udvijya
And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 sarvvān pradhānayājakān adhyāpakāṁśca samāhūyānīya papraccha, khrīṣṭaḥ kutra janiṣyate?
And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Messiah would be born.
5 tadā te kathayāmāsuḥ, yihūdīyadeśasya baitlehami nagare, yato bhaviṣyadvādinā itthaṁ likhitamāste,
And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written through the prophet,
6 sarvvābhyo rājadhānībhyo yihūdīyasya nīvṛtaḥ| he yīhūdīyadeśasye baitleham tvaṁ na cāvarā|isrāyelīyalokān me yato yaḥ pālayiṣyati| tādṛgeko mahārājastvanmadhya udbhaviṣyatī||
'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come forth a ruler who will shepherd my people, Israel.'"
7 tadānīṁ herod rājā tān jyotirvvido gopanam āhūya sā tārakā kadā dṛṣṭābhavat, tad viniścayāmāsa|
Then Herod secretly called the Magi, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 aparaṁ tān baitlehamaṁ prahītya gaditavān, yūyaṁ yāta, yatnāt taṁ śiśum anviṣya taduddeśe prāpte mahyaṁ vārttāṁ dāsyatha, tato mayāpi gatvā sa praṇaṁsyate|
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."
9 tadānīṁ rājña etādṛśīm ājñāṁ prāpya te pratasthire, tataḥ pūrvvarsyāṁ diśi sthitaistai ryā tārakā dṛṣṭā sā tārakā teṣāmagre gatvā yatra sthāne śiśūrāste, tasya sthānasyopari sthagitā tasyau|
And they, having heard the king, went their way; and look, the star which they saw in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 tad dṛṣṭvā te mahānanditā babhūvuḥ,
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 tato gehamadhya praviśya tasya mātrā mariyamā sāddhaṁ taṁ śiśuṁ nirīkṣaya daṇḍavad bhūtvā praṇemuḥ, aparaṁ sveṣāṁ ghanasampattiṁ mocayitvā suvarṇaṁ kunduruṁ gandharamañca tasmai darśanīyaṁ dattavantaḥ|
And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 paścād herod rājasya samīpaṁ punarapi gantuṁ svapna īśvareṇa niṣiddhāḥ santo 'nyena pathā te nijadeśaṁ prati pratasthire|
Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 anantaraṁ teṣu gatavatmu parameśvarasya dūto yūṣaphe svapne darśanaṁ datvā jagāda, tvam utthāya śiśuṁ tanmātarañca gṛhītvā misardeśaṁ palāyasva, aparaṁ yāvadahaṁ tubhyaṁ vārttāṁ na kathayiṣyāmi, tāvat tatraiva nivasa, yato rājā herod śiśuṁ nāśayituṁ mṛgayiṣyate|
Now when they had departed, look, 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."
14 tadānīṁ yūṣaph utthāya rajanyāṁ śiśuṁ tanmātarañca gṛhītvā misardeśaṁ prati pratasthe,
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 gatvā ca herodo nṛpate rmaraṇaparyyantaṁ tatra deśe nyuvāsa, tena misardeśādahaṁ putraṁ svakīyaṁ samupāhūyam| yadetadvacanam īśvareṇa bhaviṣyadvādinā kathitaṁ tat saphalamabhūt|
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."
16 anantaraṁ herod jyotirvidbhirātmānaṁ pravañcitaṁ vijñāya bhṛśaṁ cukopa; aparaṁ jyotirvvidbhyastena viniścitaṁ yad dinaṁ taddinād gaṇayitvā dvitīyavatsaraṁ praviṣṭā yāvanto bālakā asmin baitlehamnagare tatsīmamadhye cāsan, lokān prahitya tān sarvvān ghātayāmāsa|
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the Magi, 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 Magi.
17 ataḥ anekasya vilāpasya nināda: krandanasya ca| śokena kṛtaśabdaśca rāmāyāṁ saṁniśamyate| svabālagaṇahetorvai rāhel nārī tu rodinī| na manyate prabodhantu yataste naiva manti hi||
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 yadetad vacanaṁ yirīmiyanāmakabhaviṣyadvādinā kathitaṁ tat tadānīṁ saphalam abhūt|
"A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are no more."
19 tadanantaraṁ heredi rājani mṛte parameśvarasya dūto misardeśe svapne darśanaṁ dattvā yūṣaphe kathitavān
But when Herod was dead, look, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 tvam utthāya śiśuṁ tanmātarañca gṛhītvā punarapīsrāyelo deśaṁ yāhī, ye janāḥ śiśuṁ nāśayitum amṛgayanta, te mṛtavantaḥ|
"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."
21 tadānīṁ sa utthāya śiśuṁ tanmātarañca gṛhlan isrāyeldeśam ājagāma|
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 kintu yihūdīyadeśe arkhilāyanāma rājakumāro nijapitu rherodaḥ padaṁ prāpya rājatvaṁ karotīti niśamya tat sthānaṁ yātuṁ śaṅkitavān, paścāt svapna īśvarāt prabodhaṁ prāpya gālīldeśasya pradeśaikaṁ prasthāya nāsarannāma nagaraṁ gatvā tatra nyuṣitavān,
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,
23 tena taṁ nāsaratīyaṁ kathayiṣyanti, yadetadvākyaṁ bhaviṣyadvādibhirukttaṁ tat saphalamabhavat|
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 Nazorean.
