1 Y COMO fué nacido Jesús en Bethlehem de Judea en días del rey Herodes, he aquí unos magos vinieron del oriente á Jerusalem,
1
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem
2 Diciendo: ¿Dónde está el Rey de los Judíos, que ha nacido? porque su estrella hemos visto en el oriente, y venimos á 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 Y oyendo esto el rey Herodes, se turbó, y toda Jerusalem con él.
3
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Y convocados todos los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los escribas del pueblo, les preguntó 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 Bethlehem 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 tú, Bethlehem, de tierra de Judá, No eres muy pequeña entre los príncipes de Judá; Porque de ti saldrá un guiador, Que apacentará á 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, llamando en secreto á los magos, entendió de ellos diligentemente el tiempo del aparecimiento de la estrella;
7
Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared.
8 Y enviándolos á Bethlehem, dijo: Andad allá, y preguntad con diligencia por el niño; y después que le hallareis, hacédmelo saber, 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 ellos, habiendo oído al rey, se fueron: y he aquí la estrella que habían visto en el oriente, iba delante de ellos, hasta que llegando, se puso sobre 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 Y vista la estrella, se regocijaron con muy grande gozo.
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 ofrecieron dones, oro, é 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 siendo avisados por revelación en sueños que no volviesen á Herodes, se volvieron á 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 Y partidos ellos, he aquí el ángel del Señor aparece en sueños á José, diciendo: Levántate, y toma al niño y á su madre, y huye á Egipto, y estáte allá hasta que yo te lo diga; porque ha de acontecer, que Herodes buscará al niño para matarlo.
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 despertando, tomó al niño y á su madre de noche, y se fué á 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 cumpliese lo que fué dicho por el Señor, por el profeta que dijo: De Egipto llamé á 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 Herodes entonces, como se vió burlado de los magos, se enojó mucho, y envió, y mató á todos los niños que había en Bethlehem y en todos sus términos, de edad de dos años abajo, conforme al tiempo que había entendido 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 fué cumplido lo que se había dicho por el profeta Jeremías, que dijo:
17
Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18 Voz fué oída en Ramá, Grande lamentación, lloro y gemido: Rachêl que llora sus hijos, Y no quiso ser consolada, porque perecieron.
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 Mas muerto Herodes, he aquí el ángel del Señor aparece en sueños á José en Egipto,
19
After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
20 Diciendo: Levántate, y toma al niño y á su madre, y vete á tierra de Israel; que muertos son los que procuraban la muerte del niño.
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 Entonces él se levantó, y tomó al niño y á su madre, y se vino á tierra de Israel.
21
So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.
22 Y oyendo que Archelao reinaba en Judea en lugar de Herodes su padre, temió ir allá: mas amonestado por revelación en sueños, se fué á las partes 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 vino, y habitó en la ciudad que se llama Nazaret: para que se cumpliese lo que fué dicho por los profetas, que había de ser 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.
