Mateus 2
1 E, tendo nascido Jesus em Bethlehem de Judéa, no tempo do rei Herodes, eis que uns magos vieram do oriente a Jerusalem,
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, look, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 Dizendo: Onde está aquelle que é nascido rei dos judeos? porque vimos a sua estrella no oriente, e viemos a adoral-o.
"Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him."
3 E o rei Herodes, ouvindo isto, perturbou-se, e toda Jerusalem com elle.
And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 E, congregados todos os principes dos sacerdotes, e os escribas do povo, perguntou-lhes onde havia de nascer o Christo.
And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 E elles lhe disseram: Em Bethlehem de Judea; porque assim está escripto pelo propheta:
And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written through the prophet,
6 E tu, Bethlehem, terra de Judah, de modo nenhum és a menor entre as capitaes de Judah; porque de ti sairá o Guia que ha de apascentar o meu povo de Israel.
'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come forth a ruler who will shepherd my people, Israel.'"
7 Então Herodes, chamando secretamente os magos, inquiriu exactamente d'elles ácerca do tempo em que a estrella lhes apparecera.
Then Herod secretly called the Magi, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 E, enviando-os a Bethlehem, disse: Ide, e perguntae diligentemente pelo menino, e, quando o achardes, participae-m'o, para que tambem eu vá e o adore.
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."
9 E, tendo elles ouvido o rei, foram-se; e eis-que a estrella, que tinham visto no oriente, ia adiante d'elles, até que, chegando, se deteve sobre o logar onde estava o menino.
And they, having heard the king, went their way; and look, the star which they saw in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 E, vendo elles a estrella, alegraram-se muito com grande alegria.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 E, entrando na casa, acharam o menino com Maria sua mãe, e, prostrando-se, o adoraram; e, abrindo os seus thesouros, lhe offertaram dadivas: oiro, incenso e myrrha.
And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 E, sendo por divina revelação avisados em sonhos para que não voltassem para junto de Herodes, partiram para a sua terra por outro caminho.
Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 E, tendo-se elles retirado, eis-que o anjo do Senhor appareceu a José em sonhos, dizendo: Levanta-te, e toma o menino e sua mãe, e foge para o Egypto, e demora-te lá até que eu te diga; porque Herodes ha de procurar o menino para o matar.
Now when they had departed, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
14 E, levantando-se elle, tomou o menino e sua mãe, de noite, e foi para o Egypto,
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 E esteve lá até á morte de Herodes, para que se cumprisse o que foi dito da parte do Senhor pelo propheta, que diz: Do Egypto chamei o meu Filho.
and was there until the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called my son."
16 Então Herodes, vendo que tinha sido illudido pelos magos, irritou-se muito, e mandou matar todos os meninos que havia em Bethlehem, e em todos os seus contornos, de edade de dois annos e menos, segundo o tempo que diligentemente inquirira dos magos.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the Magi, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the Magi.
17 Então se cumpriu o que foi dito pelo propheta Jeremias, que diz:
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 Em Rama se ouviu uma voz, lamentação, choro e grande pranto: Rachel chorando os seus filhos, e não quiz ser consolada, porque já não existem.
"A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are no more."
19 Morto porém Herodes, eis que o anjo do Senhor appareceu n'um sonho a José no Egypto,
But when Herod was dead, look, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 Dizendo: Levanta-te, e toma o menino e sua mãe, e vae para a terra d'Israel; porque já estão mortos os que procuravam a morte do menino.
"Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child's life are dead."
21 Então elle se levantou, e tomou o menino e sua mãe, e foi para a terra d'Israel.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 E, ouvindo que Archelau reinava na Judea em logar de Herodes, seu pae, receiou ir para lá: mas avisado em sonho por divina revelação, foi para as partes da Galilea.
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
23 E chegou, e habitou n'uma cidade chamada Nazareth, para que se cumprisse o que fôra dito pelos prophetas: Que se chamará Nazareno.
and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he will be called a Nazorean.
