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,

¹Yesus dilahirkan di kota Betlehem di negeri Yudea pada masa pemerintahan Raja Herodes. Pada waktu itu beberapa ahli ilmu bintang dari Timur datang ke Yerusalem.

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.

²Mereka bertanya di mana-mana, "Di manakah Anak itu, yang lahir untuk menjadi raja orang Yahudi? Kami melihat bintang-Nya terbit di sebelah timur, dan kami datang untuk menyembah Dia."

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

³Ketika Raja Herodes mendengar hal itu, ia terkejut sekali, begitu juga semua orang di Yerusalem.

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

⁴Maka ia menyuruh semua imam kepala dan guru-guru agama bangsa Yahudi datang berkumpul. Lalu ia bertanya kepada mereka, "Di manakah akan lahir Raja yang dijanjikan Allah?"

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

⁵Mereka menjawab, "Di kota Betlehem di negeri Yudea. Sebab beginilah ditulis oleh seorang nabi,

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.

⁶'Engkau Betlehem, di negeri Yehuda, engkau sekali-kali bukanlah yang terkecil di antara kota-kota utama di Yehuda. Karena dari engkau akan datang seorang pemimpin yang akan memimpin umat-Ku Israel.'"

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

⁷Sesudah mendapat keterangan itu, Herodes memanggil ahli-ahli bintang dari Timur itu secara diam-diam. Lalu ia bertanya kepada mereka kapan tepatnya bintang itu mulai kelihatan.

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.

⁸Sesudah itu ia menyuruh mereka ke Betlehem dengan pesan ini, "Pergilah, carilah Anak itu dengan teliti. Dan kalau kalian menemukan Dia, beritahukanlah kepadaku, supaya aku juga pergi menyembah Dia."

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.

⁹Lalu pergilah mereka. Mereka melihat lagi bintang yang mereka lihat dahulu di sebelah timur. Alangkah gembiranya mereka melihat bintang itu! Bintang itu mendahului mereka, lalu berhenti tepat di atas tempat Anak itu.

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

¹⁰(2:9)

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.

¹¹Mereka masuk ke dalam rumah itu dan melihat Anak itu dengan Maria, ibu-Nya. Mereka sujud dan menyembah Anak itu, lalu membuka tempat harta mereka, dan mempersembahkan kepada-Nya emas, kemenyan, dan mur.

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

¹²Allah memperingatkan mereka di dalam mimpi supaya jangan kembali kepada Herodes. Jadi mereka pulang melalui jalan yang lain.

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.

¹³Setelah ahli-ahli bintang itu berangkat, malaikat Tuhan menampakkan diri kepada Yusuf di dalam mimpi. Malaikat itu berkata, "Herodes bermaksud mencari Anak itu untuk membunuh Dia. Karena itu bangunlah, bawalah Anak itu dengan ibu-Nya mengungsi ke Mesir. Tinggallah di sana sampai Aku berbicara lagi kepadamu."

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

¹⁴Yusuf bangun, dan malam itu juga ia membawa Anak itu dengan ibu-Nya mengungsi ke Mesir.

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.

¹⁵Mereka tinggal di sana sampai Herodes meninggal. Demikian terjadilah apa yang dikatakan Tuhan melalui nabi-Nya, begini, "Aku memanggil Anak-Ku dari Mesir."

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.

¹⁶Ketika Herodes tahu bahwa ahli-ahli bintang dari Timur itu menipunya, ia marah sekali. Lalu ia memerintahkan untuk membunuh semua anak laki-laki yang berumur dua tahun ke bawah di Betlehem dan sekitarnya. Itu cocok dengan keterangan yang didapatnya dari ahli-ahli bintang itu tentang saatnya bintang itu kelihatan.

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

¹⁷Demikianlah terjadi apa yang pernah dikatakan oleh Nabi Yeremia, yaitu,

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"Di Rama terdengar suara ratapan, keluhan serta tangisan. Rahel meratapi anak-anaknya; ia tak mau dihibur sebab mereka sudah tiada."

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

¹⁹Sesudah Herodes meninggal, ketika Yusuf masih di Mesir seorang malaikat Tuhan menampakkan diri lagi kepada Yusuf di dalam mimpi.

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.

²⁰Malaikat itu berkata, "Orang-orang yang mau membunuh Anak itu sudah meninggal. Karena itu bangunlah, ambil Anak itu dengan ibu-Nya dan kembalilah ke Israel."

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

²¹Yusuf pun bangun, lalu membawa Anak itu dengan Maria kembali ke Israel.

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:

²²Tetapi kemudian Yusuf mendengar bahwa Arkelaus, putra Herodes sudah menggantikan ayahnya menjadi raja negeri Yudea. Jadi Yusuf takut pergi ke sana. Sesudah ia mendapat petunjuk Tuhan lebih lanjut dalam mimpi, ia pergi ke daerah Galilea.

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.

²³Di situ ia tinggal di kota yang bernama Nazaret. Dengan demikian terjadilah apa yang dikatakan oleh nabi-nabi mengenai Anak itu: "Ia akan disebut Orang Nazaret."
