¹ولما ولد يسوع في بيت لحم اليهودية في ايام هيرودس الملك اذا مجوس من المشرق قد جاءوا الى اورشليم

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

²قائلين اين هو المولود ملك اليهود. فاننا رأينا نجمه في المشرق واتينا لنسجد له.

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

³فلما سمع هيرودس الملك اضطرب وجميع اورشليم معه.

³And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

⁴فجمع كل رؤساء الكهنة وكتبة الشعب وسألهم اين يولد المسيح.

⁴And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.

⁵فقالوا له في بيت لحم اليهودية. لانه هكذا مكتوب بالنبي.

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

⁶وانت يا بيت لحم ارض يهوذا لست الصغرى بين رؤساء يهوذا . لان منك يخرج مدبر يرعى شعبي اسرائيل

⁶And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.

⁷حينئذ دعا هيرودس المجوس سرّا وتحقق منهم زمان النجم الذي ظهر.

⁷Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared.

⁸ثم ارسلهم الى بيت لحم وقال اذهبوا وافحصوا بالتدقيق عن الصبي. ومتى وجدتموه فاخبروني لكي آتي انا ايضا واسجد له.

⁸And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found [him,] bring me word, that I also may come and worship him.

⁹فلما سمعوا من الملك ذهبوا واذا النجم الذي رأوه في المشرق يتقدمهم حتى جاء ووقف فوق حيث كان الصبي.

⁹And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

¹⁰فلما رأوا النجم فرحوا فرحا عظيما جدا.

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

¹¹وأتوا الى البيت ورأوا الصبي مع مريم امه. فخروا وسجدوا له. ثم فتحوا كنوزهم وقدموا له هدايا ذهبا ولبانا ومرّا.

¹¹And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

¹²ثم اذ أوحي اليهم في حلم ان لا يرجعوا الى هيرودس انصرفوا في طريق اخرى الى كورتهم

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

¹³وبعدما انصرفوا اذا ملاك الرب قد ظهر ليوسف في حلم قائلا قم وخذ الصبي وامه واهرب الى مصر وكن هناك حتى اقول لك. لان هيرودس مزمع ان يطلب الصبي ليهلكه.

¹³Now when they were departed, behold, an 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 tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

¹⁴فقام واخذ الصبي وامه ليلا وانصرف الى مصر.

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

¹⁵وكان هناك الى وفاة هيرودس. لكي يتم ما قيل من الرب بالنبي القائل من مصر دعوت ابني

¹⁵and 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 did I call my son.

¹⁶حينئذ لما رأى هيرودس ان المجوس سخروا به غضب جدا. فارسل وقتل جميع الصبيان الذين في بيت لحم وفي كل تخومها من ابن سنتين فما دون بحسب الزمان الذي تحققه من المجوس.

¹⁶Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men.

¹⁷حينئذ تم ما قيل بارميا النبي القائل.

¹⁷Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

¹⁸صوت سمع في الرامة نوح وبكاء وعويل كثير. راحيل تبكي على اولادها ولا تريد ان تتعزى لانهم ليسوا بموجودين

¹⁸A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not.

¹⁹فلما مات هيرودس اذا ملاك الرب قد ظهر في حلم ليوسف في مصر

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

²⁰قائلا. قم وخذ الصبي وامه واذهب الى ارض اسرائيل. لانه قد مات الذين كانوا يطلبون نفس الصبي.

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

²¹فقام واخذ الصبي وامه وجاء الى ارض اسرائيل.

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

²²ولكن لما سمع ان ارخيلاوس يملك على اليهودية عوضا عن هيرودس ابيه خاف ان يذهب الى هناك. واذ أوحي اليه في حلم انصرف الى نواحي الجليل.

²²But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned [of God] in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,

²³وأتى وسكن في مدينة يقال لها ناصرة. لكي يتم ما قيل بالانبياء انه سيدعى ناصريا

²³and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene.
