1 Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,
2 Where is the king of the Jews that has been born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.
3 But Herod the king having heard {of it}, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
4 and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:
6 And *thou* Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.
7 Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;
8 and having sent them to Bethlehem, said, Go, search out accurately concerning the child, and when ye shall have found {him} bring me back word, so that *I* also may come and do him homage.
9 And they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it came and stood over the place where the little child was.
10 And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And having come into the house they saw the little child with Mary his mother, and falling down did him homage. And having opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 Now, they having departed, behold, an angel of {the} Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Arise, take to {thee} the little child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee; for Herod will seek the little child to destroy it.
14 And, having arisen, he took to {him} the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.
15 And he was there until the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by {the} Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying,
18 A voice has been heard in Rama, weeping, and great lamentation: Rachel weeping {for} her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 But Herod having died, behold, an angel of {the} Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 Arise, take to {thee} the little child and its mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the little child are dead.
21 And he arose and took to {him} the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;
22 but having heard that 'Archelaus reigns over Judaea, instead of Herod his father,' he was afraid to go there; and having been divinely instructed in a dream, he went away into the parts of Galilee,
23 and came and dwelt in a town called Nazareth; so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, He shall be called a Nazaraene.
1 Kui Jeesus oli sündinud Petlemas Juudamaal kuningas Heroodese ajal, vaata, siis tulid targad hommikumaalt Jeruusalemma
2 ja ütlesid: „Kus on see sündinud Juutide Kuningas? Sest me oleme näinud Tema tähte hommikumaal ning oleme tulnud Teda kummardama."
3 Kui kuningas Heroodes seda kuulis, ehmus ta väga ja kogu Jeruusalem ühes temaga.
4 Ja ta kogus kokku kõik rahva ülempreestrid ja kirjatundjad ning kuulas neilt, kus Kristus pidi sündima.
5 Nemad ütlesid temale: „Petlemas Juudamaal; sest nõnda on kirjutatud prohveti kaudu:
6 Ja Sina, Petlem Juudamaal, ei ole mingil kombel kõige vähem Juuda vürstide seast, sest sinust lähtub Valitseja, Kes Mu rahvast Iisraeli hoiab kui karjane!"
7 Siis Heroodes kutsus targad salaja ja uuris neilt hoolega aja, mil täht oli ilmunud.
8 Ja ta läkitas nad Petlemma ning ütles: „Minge kuulake hoolega Lapsukese järele, ja kui te Tema leiate, siis andke minule teada, et minagi läheksin Teda kummardama!"
9 Kui nemad olid kuningat kuulnud, siis nad läksid teele. Ja vaata, täht, mida nad olid näinud hommikumaal, käis nende eel, kuni ta tuli ja seisatas ülal seal kohal, kus Lapsuke oli.
10 Aga tähte nähes nad said üliväga rõõmsaks.
11 Ja nad läksid sinna kotta ning nägid Lapsukest ühes Maarjaga, Tema Emaga, ja heitsid maha ning kummardasid Teda, ja avasid oma varandused ning tõid Temale ande, kulda ja viirukit ja mürri.
12 Ja kui nad unes olid Jumalalt saanud käsu mitte minna tagasi Heroodese juure, läksid nad teist teed tagasi omale maale.
13 Aga kui nad olid ära läinud, vaata, siis ilmus Issanda Ingel unes Joosepile ja ütles: „Tõuse ning võta Lapsuke ja Tema Ema enesega ning põgene Egiptusesse ja ole seal, kuni Ma sinule ütlen; sest Heroodes hakkab otsima Last, et Teda hukata."
14 siis ta tõusis ning võttis enesega Lapsukese ja Tema Ema öösel ja läks ära Egiptusesse
15 ja oli seal kuni Heroodese surmani, et läheks täide, mis Issand on rääkinud prohveti kaudu, kes ütleb: „Egiptusest Ma kutsusin Oma Poja!"
16 Kui nüüd Heroodes nägi, et targad olid teda petnud, siis ta vihastus väga ja läkitas ning laskis tappa kõik poeglapsed Petlemas ja kogu selle ümbruskonnas, kaheaastased ja nooremad, vastavalt ajale, mida ta tarkadelt oli hoolega uurinud.
17 Siis läks täide, mis on üteldud prohvet Jeremija kaudu:
18 „Raamast on kuuldud häält, palju nuttu ja kaebust: Raahel nutab oma lapsi ega taha lasta ennast trööstida, sest neid ei ole enam!"
19 Aga kui Heroodes oli surnud, vaata, siis ilmus Issanda Ingel Joosepile unes Egiptuses
20 ning ütles: „Tõuse ning võta Lapsuke ja Tema Ema enesega ja mine Iisraelimaale; sest need on surnud, kes püüdsid Lapsukese hinge!"
21 Siis ta tõusis ning võttis Lapsukese ja Ta Ema enesega ja tuli Iisraelimaale.
22 Aga kui ta kuulis, et Arhelaos valitseb Judead oma isa Heroodese asemel, siis ta kartis sinna minna. Kuid ta sai unes Jumalalt käsu ja siirdus Galilea aladele
23 ja tuli ning asus elama linna, mida kutsutakse Naatsaretiks, et läheks täide, mis on üteldud prohvetite kaudu: „Teda peab hüütama Naatsaretlaseks!"
