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,

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

²Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw 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.'

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

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

⁴And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the 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 through the prophet,

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

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.

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

⁷Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly 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 out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found [him,] bring me word, that I also may come and worship 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, 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.

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

¹⁰Tähte nähes rõõmustasid nad üliväga.

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.

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.

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.

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 arose and 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 by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I 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, 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.

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 through Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

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

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.

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, saying,

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

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.

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 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,

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

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.

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