Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Now when Yeshua was born in Beit-Lechem of Yehudah in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Yerushalayim, saying,
1
And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came to Jerusalem,
2 "Where is he who is born King of the Yehudim? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him."
2
saying, `Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.'
3 When Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Yerushalayim with him.
3
And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,
4 Gathering together all the chief Kohanim and Sofrim of the people, he asked them where the Messiah would be born.
4
and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.
5 They said to him, "In Beit-Lechem of Yehudah, for thus it is written through the prophet,
5
And they said to him, `In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it hath been written through the prophet,
6 'You Beit-Lechem, land of Yehudah, Are in no way least among the princes of Yehudah: For out of you shall come forth a governor, Who shall shepherd my people, Yisra'el.'"
6
And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee shall come one leading, who shall feed My people Israel.'
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.

8 He sent them to Beit-Lechem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."
8
and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, `Having gone -- inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.'
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.
9
