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

¹Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men The word for “wise men” (magoi) can also mean teachers, scientists, physicians, astrologers, seers, interpreters of dreams, or sorcerers. from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

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

²“Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”

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

³When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

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

⁴Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.

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

⁵They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this 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.'

⁶‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah: for out of you shall come forth a governor, who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’” Micah 5:2

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

⁷Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.

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.'

⁸He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”

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.

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

¹⁰Tähte nähes rõõmustasid nad üliväga.

¹⁰When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly 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.

¹¹They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

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

¹²Being warned in a dream that they shouldn’t return to Herod, they went back to 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 when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”

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

¹⁴He arose and took the young 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 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 I called my son.” Hosea 11:1

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, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.

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

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

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

¹⁸“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.” Jeremiah 31:15

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

¹⁹But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared 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!'

²⁰“Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”

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

²¹He arose and took the young child and his 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 when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region 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 lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
