Giovanni Diodati 1649 (Italian) GDB
New International Version NIV
1 ORA, essendo Gesù nato in Betleem di Giudea, a’ dì del re Erode, ecco, de’ magi d’Oriente arrivarono in Gerusalemme, dicendo:
1
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem
2 Dov’è il Re de’ Giudei, che è nato? Poichè noi abbiamo veduta la sua stella in Oriente, e siam venuti per adorarlo.
2
and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
3 E il re Erode, udito questo, fu turbato, e tutta Gerusalemme con lui.
3
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Ed egli, raunati tutti i principali sacerdoti, e gli scribi del popolo, s’informò da loro dove il Cristo dovea nascere.
4
When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born.
5 Ed essi gli dissero: In Betleem di Giudea; perciocchè così è scritto per lo profeta:
5
“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6 E tu, Betleem, terra di Giuda, non sei punto la minima fra i capi di Giuda; perciocchè di te uscirà un Capo, il qual pascerà il mio popolo Israele.
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 shepherd my people Israel.’ ”
7 Allora Erode, chiamati di nascosto i magi, domandò loro del tempo appunto, che la stella era apparita.
7
Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared.
8 E, mandandoli in Betleem, disse loro: Andate, e domandate diligentemente del fanciullino; e quando l’avrete trovato, rapportatemelo, acciocchè ancora io venga, e l’adori.
8
He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”
9 Ed essi, udito il re, andarono; ed ecco, la stella che aveano veduta in Oriente, andava dinanzi a loro, finchè giunta di sopra al luogo dov’era il fanciullino, vi si fermò.
9
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.
10 Ed essi, veduta la stella, si rallegrarono di grandissima allegrezza.
10
When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
11 Ed entrati nella casa, trovarono il fanciullino, con Maria, sua madre; e gettatisi in terra, adorarono quello; ed aperti i lor tesori, gli offerirono doni: oro, incenso, e mirra.
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, frankincense and myrrh.
12 Ed avendo avuta una rivelazione divina in sogno, di non tornare ad Erode, per un’altra strada si ridussero nel lor paese.
12
And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
13 ORA, dopo che si furono dipartiti, ecco, un angelo del Signore apparve in sogno a Giuseppe, dicendo: Destati, e prendi il fanciullino, e sua madre, e fuggi in Egitto, e sta’ quivi finch’io non tel dica; perciocchè Erode cercherà il fanciullino, per farlo morire.
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 Egli adunque, destatosi, prese il fanciullino, e sua madre, di notte, e si ritrasse in Egitto.
14
So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt,
15 E stette quivi fino alla morte di Erode; acciocchè si adempiesse quello che fu detto dal Signore per lo profeta, dicendo: Io ho chiamato il mio figliuolo fuori di Egitto.
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 Allora Erode, veggendosi beffato dai magi, si adirò gravemente, e mandò a fare uccidere tutti i fanciulli che erano in Betleem, ed in tutti i suoi confini, d’età da due anni in giù, secondo il tempo, del quale egli si era diligentemente informato da’ magi.
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 Allora si adempiè quello che fu detto dal profeta Geremia, dicendo:
17
Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18 Un grido è stato udito in Rama, un lamento, un pianto, ed un gran rammarichìo; Rachele piange i suoi figliuoli, e non è voluta esser consolata, perciocchè non son più.
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 ORA, dopo che Erode fu morto, ecco, un angelo del Signore apparve in sogno a Giuseppe, in Egitto, dicendo:
19
After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
20 Destati, e prendi il fanciullino, e sua madre, e vattene nel paese d’Israele; perciocchè coloro che cercavano la vita del fanciullino son morti.
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 Ed egli, destatosi, prese il fanciullino, e sua madre, e venne nel paese d’Israele.
21
So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.
22 Ma, avendo udito che Archelao regnava in Giudea, in luogo di Erode, suo padre, temette di andar là; ed avendo avuta una rivelazione divina in sogno, si ritrasse nelle parti della Galilea.
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 Ed essendo venuto là, abitò in una città detta Nazaret, acciocchè si adempiesse quello che fu detto da’ profeti, ch’egli sarebbe chiamato Nazareo.
23
and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.
