Mateus 2

1 It came to pass when Yeshua [God is Salvation] was born in Beit-Lechem [house of bread] of Y’hudah [Praise] in the days of Herod [heroic] the king, behold Astronomers came from the East to Yerushalayim [abode of peace]

2 saying: ‘Where is the King of the Yehudim [praise] who has been born? We have seen his star in the East and have come with important gifts to do homage to him’.

3 Herod [heroic] the king heard and was dismayed and all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [abode of peace] with him.

4 So he gathered all the chief priests and Torah-teachers (Scribes) of the people and inquired from them if they knew where Ha-Moshiach [Messiah] [The Messiah] would be born.

5 They answered him: ‘In Beit-Lechem [house of bread] Y’hudah [Praise], as it is written by the Prophet according to Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]’:

6 "You Beit-Lechem [house of bread] Efratah, behold you are insignificant among the tribes of Y’hudah [Praise]; from you shall come forth to Me one to be Ruler in Y’sra’el [he who holds onto the heal of God]".

7 Then King Herod [heroic] called the Astronomers in secret and asked them thoroughly concerning the time the star appeared to them.

8 He sent them to Beit-Lechem [house of bread] and said unto them: ‘Go and enquire thoroughly concerning the child and when you find him inform me. I also will go to him to do homage’.

9 They listened unto the king and departed and behold the star which they saw in the East was going before them until they came to the place. When they entered Beit-Lechem [house of bread] it stopped over the place where the Child was.

10 When they saw the star they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

11 They came into the house, found the Boy and his mother Miryam [waters of strength], knelt before him, did homage to him, opened their sacks and presented to him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

12 Then they were commanded in a dream by the angel who spoke to them not to return to Herod [heroic]; so they returned to their land by another route.
