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

¹Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,

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

²Where is the king of the Jews that has been born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.

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

³But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;

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

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

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

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

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

⁶And *thou* Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.

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

⁷Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;

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.'

⁸and having sent them to Bethlehem, said, Go, search out accurately concerning the child, and when ye shall have found [him] bring me back word, so that *I* also may come and do him homage.

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.

⁹And they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it came and stood over the place where the little child was.

¹⁰Tähte nähes rõõmustasid nad üliväga.

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

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.

¹¹And having come into the house they saw the little child with Mary his mother, and falling down did him homage. And having opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

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

¹²And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

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!'

¹³Now, they having departed, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Arise, take to [thee] the little child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee; for Herod will seek the little child to destroy it.

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

¹⁴And, having arisen, he took to [him] the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.

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

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

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.

¹⁶Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the magi, was greatly enraged; and sent and slew all the boys which [were] in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time which he had accurately inquired from the magi.

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

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

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

¹⁸A voice has been heard in Rama, weeping, and great lamentation: Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

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

¹⁹But Herod having died, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,

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

²⁰Arise, take to [thee] the little child and its mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the little child are dead.

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

²¹And he arose and took to [him] the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;

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

²²but having heard that 'Archelaus reigns over Judaea, instead of Herod his father,' he was afraid to go there; and having been divinely instructed in a dream, he went away into the parts of Galilee,

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

²³and came and dwelt in a town called Nazareth; so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, He shall be called a Nazaraean.
