New International Version NIV
1 Después de nacer Jesús en Belén de Judea, en tiempos del rey Herodes, he aquí, unos magos del oriente llegaron a Jerusalén, diciendo:
1
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem
2 ¿Dónde está el Rey de los judíos que ha nacido? Porque vimos su estrella en el oriente y hemos venido a adorarle.
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 Cuando lo oyó el rey Herodes, se turbó, y toda Jerusalén con él.
3
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Entonces, reuniendo a todos los principales sacerdotes y escribas del pueblo, indagó de ellos dónde había de nacer el Cristo.
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 Y ellos le dijeron: En Belén de Judea, porque así está escrito por el profeta:
5
“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6 "Y TU, BELEN, TIERRA DE JUDA, DE NINGUN MODO ERES LA MAS PEQUEÑA ENTRE LOS PRINCIPES DE JUDA; PORQUE DE TI SALDRA UN GOBERNANTE QUE PASTOREARA A MI PUEBLO ISRAEL."
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 Entonces Herodes llamó a los magos en secreto y se cercioró con ellos del tiempo en que había aparecido la estrella.
7
Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared.
8 Y enviándolos a Belén, dijo: Id y buscad con diligencia al niño; y cuando le encontréis, avisadme para que yo también vaya y le adore.
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 Y habiendo oído al rey, se fueron; y he aquí, la estrella que habían visto en el oriente iba delante de ellos, hasta que llegó y se detuvo sobre el lugar donde estaba el niño.
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 Cuando vieron la estrella, se regocijaron sobremanera con gran alegría.
10
When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
11 Y entrando en la casa, vieron al niño con su madre María, y postrándose le adoraron; y abriendo sus tesoros le presentaron obsequios de oro, incienso y 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 Y habiendo sido advertidos por Dios en sueños que no volvieran a Herodes, partieron para su tierra por otro camino.
12
And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
13 Después de haberse marchado ellos, un ángel del Señor se le apareció<***> a José en sueños, diciendo: Levántate, toma al niño y a su madre y huye a Egipto, y quédate allí hasta que yo te diga; porque Herodes va a buscar al niño para matarle.
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 Y él, levantándose, tomó de noche al niño y a su madre, y se trasladó a Egipto;
14
So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt,
15 y estuvo allá hasta la muerte de Herodes, para que se cumpliera lo que el Señor habló por medio del profeta, diciendo: DE EGIPTO LLAME A MI HIJO.
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 Entonces Herodes, al verse burlado por los magos, se enfureció en gran manera, y mandó matar a todos los niños que había en Belén y en todos sus alrededores, de dos años para abajo, según el tiempo que había averiguado de los magos.
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 Entonces se cumplió lo que fue dicho por medio del profeta Jeremías, cuando dijo:
17
Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18 SE OYO UNA VOZ EN RAMA, LLANTO Y GRAN LAMENTACION; RAQUEL QUE LLORA A SUS HIJOS, Y QUE NO QUISO SER CONSOLADA PORQUE ya NO EXISTEN.
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 Pero cuando murió Herodes, he aquí, un ángel del Señor se apareció<***> en sueños a José en Egipto, diciendo:
19
After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
20 Levántate, toma al niño y a su madre y vete a la tierra de Israel, porque los que atentaban contra la vida del niño han muerto.
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 Y él, levantándose, tomó al niño y a su madre, y vino a la tierra de Israel.
21
So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.
22 Pero cuando oyó que Arquelao reinaba sobre Judea en lugar de su padre Herodes, tuvo miedo de ir allá; y advertido por Dios en sueños, partió para la región de 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 y llegó y habitó en una ciudad llamada Nazaret, para que se cumpliera lo que fue dicho por medio de los profetas: Será llamado Nazareno.
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.
