¹Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

¹Kui nüüd Jeesus oli sündinud kuningas Heroodese ajal Juudamaal Petlemma linnas, siis vaata, hommikumaalt saabusid tähetargad Jeruusalemma

²Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

²ja küsisid: 'Kus on see juutide vastsündinud kuningas? Me nägime tema tähte tõusmas ja oleme tulnud teda kummardama.'

³When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

³Seda kuuldes kohkus kuningas Heroodes ja kogu Jeruusalemm koos temaga.

⁴And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

⁴Ja ta kutsus kokku kõik rahva ülempreestrid ja kirjatundjad ning päris nende käest, kus Messias pidi sündima.

⁵And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

⁵Need ütlesid talle: 'Petlemmas Juudamaal, sest nõnda on kirjutatud prohveti käe läbi:

⁶And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

⁶Ja sina, Petlemm Juudamaal, ei ole Juuda vürstkondadest hoopiski kõige pisem, sest sinust lähtub Valitseja, kes hoiab mu Iisraeli rahvast kui karjane.'

⁷Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

⁷Seepeale laskis Heroodes tähetargad salaja enda juurde kutsuda, päris nendelt täpset aega, millal täht oli paistma hakanud,

⁸And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

⁸ja saatis nad Petlemma, öeldes: 'Minge ja uurige täpselt välja, kes see laps on! Ja kui te olete ta leidnud, teatage mulle, et ka mina saaksin minna teda kummardama.'

⁹When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

⁹Tähetargad kuulasid kuninga jutu ära ning asusid teele. Ja vaata, täht, mille tõusmist nad olid näinud, käis nende eel, kuni jäi seisma selle paiga kohale, kus oli laps.

¹⁰When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

¹⁰Tähte nähes rõõmustasid nad üliväga.

¹¹And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

¹¹Ja majja sisse astudes nägid nad last koos Maarja, tema emaga, ja kummardasid teda tema ette maha heites, avasid oma aarded ning andsid talle kinke: kulda, viirukit ja mürri.

¹²And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

¹²Ja kui neid unenäos hoiatati, et nad ei läheks enam Heroodese juurest läbi, läksid nad teist teed tagasi oma maale.

¹³And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

¹³Kui nüüd tähetargad olid lahkunud, vaata, siis ilmus Issanda ingel Joosepile unenäos ja ütles: 'Tõuse, võta kaasa laps ja tema ema ning põgene Egiptusesse ja jää sinna, kuni ma sind käsin, sest Heroodes tahab lapse üles otsida ja hukata!'

¹⁴When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

¹⁴Siis Joosep tõusis, võttis lapse ja tema ema ning põgenes öösel Egiptusesse.

¹⁵And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

¹⁵Ja ta oli seal Heroodese surmani, et läheks täide, mis Issand on rääkinud prohveti suu kaudu: 'Ma olen kutsunud oma Poja Egiptusest.'

¹⁶Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.

¹⁶Kui nüüd Heroodes nägi, et tähetargad on teda petnud, raevutses ta väga ning laskis tappa Petlemmas ja selle piirkonnas kõik poeglapsed, kaheaastased ja nooremad, arvestades seda aega, mille ta oli tähetarkadelt täpselt välja uurinud.

¹⁷Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,

¹⁷Siis läks täide, mida on räägitud prohvet Jeremija kaudu:

¹⁸In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

¹⁸'Raamas kuuldakse häält, nutmist ja kaebamist on palju. Raahel nutab oma lapsi ega lase ennast lohutada, sest neid ei ole enam.'

¹⁹But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

¹⁹Kui nüüd Heroodes oli surnud, vaata, siis ilmus Issanda ingel Egiptuses viibivale Joosepile unenäos

²⁰Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

²⁰ja ütles: 'Tõuse üles, võta laps ja tema ema ning mine Iisraelimaale, sest need, kes püüdsid last tappa, on surnud!'

²¹And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

²¹Siis ta tõusis, võttis lapse ja tema ema ning tuli Iisraelimaale.

²²But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

²²Kuulnud aga, et Arhelaos on kuningaks Juudamaal oma isa Heroodese järel, kartis Joosep sinna minna. Teda hoiatati unenäos, et neil tuleb varjuda Galileas,

²³And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

²³ning ta tuli ja asus elama külla, mida kutsutakse Naatsaretiks, et läheks täide, mida on räägitud prohvetite kaudu, et teda hüütakse Naatsaretlaseks.
