¹And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came to Jerusalem,

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

²saying, `Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.`

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

³And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,

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

⁴and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.

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

⁵And they said to him, `In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it hath been written through the prophet,

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

⁶And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee shall come one leading, who shall feed 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, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star,

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

⁸and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, `Having gone — inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.`

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.'

⁹And they, having heard the king, departed, and lo, the star, that they did see in the east, did go before them, till, having come, it stood over where the 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.

¹⁰And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy,

¹⁰Tähte nähes rõõmustasid nad üliväga.

¹¹and having come to the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down they bowed to him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to 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 having been divinely warned in a dream not to turn back unto Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.

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

¹³And on their having withdrawn, lo, a messenger of the Lord doth appear in a dream to Joseph, saying, `Having risen, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and be thou there till I may speak to thee, for Herod is about to seek the 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!'

¹⁴And he, having risen, took the child and his mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,

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

¹⁵and he was there till the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, `Out of Egypt I did call 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, having seen that he was deceived by the mages, was very wroth, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from the mages.

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 Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

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

¹⁸`A voice in Ramah was heard — lamentation and weeping and much mourning — Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she 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.'

¹⁹And Herod having died, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream doth appear to Joseph in Egypt,

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

²⁰saying, `Having risen, take the child and his mother, and be going to the land of Israel, for they have died — those seeking the life of the child.`

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

²¹And he, having risen, took the child and his mother, and came to the land of Israel,

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

²²and having heard that Archelaus doth reign over Judea instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither, and having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to 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 coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophets, that `A Nazarene he shall be called.`

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