1 cum ergo natus esset Iesus in Bethleem Iudaeae in diebus Herodis regis ecce magi ab oriente venerunt Hierosolymam
|
1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem
|
|
2 dicentes ubi est qui natus est rex Iudaeorum vidimus enim stellam eius in oriente et venimus adorare eum
|
2 and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."
|
|
3 audiens autem Herodes rex turbatus est et omnis Hierosolyma cum illo
|
3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
|
|
4 et congregans omnes principes sacerdotum et scribas populi sciscitabatur ab eis ubi Christus nasceretur
|
4 When he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.
|
|
5 at illi dixerunt ei in Bethleem Iudaeae sic enim scriptum est per prophetam
|
5 "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written:
|
|
6 et tu Bethleem terra Iuda nequaquam minima es in principibus Iuda ex te enim exiet dux qui reget populum meum Israhel
|
6 " 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.' "
|
|
7 tunc Herodes clam vocatis magis diligenter didicit ab eis tempus stellae quae apparuit eis
|
7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared.
|
|
8 et mittens illos in Bethleem dixit ite et interrogate diligenter de puero et cum inveneritis renuntiate mihi ut et ego veniens adorem eum
|
8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him."
|
|
9 qui cum audissent regem abierunt et ecce stella quam viderant in oriente antecedebat eos usque dum veniens staret supra ubi erat puer
|
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.
|
|
10 videntes autem stellam gavisi sunt gaudio magno valde
|
10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
|
|
11 et intrantes domum invenerunt puerum cum Maria matre eius et procidentes adoraverunt eum et apertis thesauris suis obtulerunt ei munera aurum tus et murram
|
11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.
|
|
12 et responso accepto in somnis ne redirent ad Herodem per aliam viam reversi sunt in regionem suam
|
12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
|
|
13 qui cum recessissent ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis Ioseph dicens surge et 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
|
13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him."
|
|
14 qui consurgens accepit puerum et matrem eius nocte et recessit in Aegyptum
|
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt,
|
|
15 et erat ibi usque ad obitum Herodis ut adimpleretur quod dictum est a Domino per prophetam dicentem ex Aegypto vocavi filium meum
|
15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son."
|
|
16 tunc Herodes videns quoniam inlusus esset a magis iratus est valde et mittens occidit omnes pueros qui erant in Bethleem et in omnibus finibus eius a bimatu et infra secundum tempus quod exquisierat a magis
|
16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi.
|
|
17 tunc adimpletum est quod dictum est per Hieremiam prophetam dicentem
|
17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
|
|
18 vox in Rama audita est ploratus et ululatus multus Rachel plorans filios suos et noluit consolari quia non sunt
|
18 "A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more."
|
|
19 defuncto autem Herode ecce apparuit angelus Domini in somnis Ioseph in Aegypto
|
19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
|
|
20 dicens surge et accipe puerum et matrem eius et vade in terram Israhel defuncti sunt enim qui quaerebant animam pueri
|
20 and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child's life are dead."
|
|
21 qui surgens accepit puerum et matrem eius et venit in terram Israhel
|
21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.

|
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee,
|
|
23 et veniens habitavit in civitate quae vocatur Nazareth ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per prophetas quoniam Nazareus vocabitur
|
23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene."
