¹A keď sa narodil Ježiš v Judskom Betleheme za dní kráľa Heródesa, tu hľa, mudrci od východu slnca prišli do Jeruzalema

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,

²a hovorili: Kde je ten narodený kráľ židovský? Lebo sme videli jeho hviezdu na východe slnca a prišli sme sa mu pokloniť.

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.`

³Ale keď to počul kráľ Heródes, zľakol sa i celý Jeruzalem s ním.

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

⁴A svolal všetkých najvyšších kňazov a učiteľov ľudu a vypytoval sa ich, kde sa má Kristus narodiť.

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

⁵A oni mu riekli: V Judskom Betleheme, lebo tak je napísané skrze proroka:

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

⁶A ty, Betleheme, zem Júdova, nijako nie si najmenším medzi vojvodami Júdovými, lebo z teba mi vyjde vodca, ktorý bude pásť môj ľud, Izraela.

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.`

⁷Vtedy Heródes povolal tajne mudrcov a dôkladne sa ich vypýtal na čas hviezdy, ktorá sa im ukazovala,

⁷Then Herod, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star,

⁸a pošlúc ich do Betlehema povedal: Iďte a dôkladne sa povypytujte o tom dieťatku, a keď najdete, dajte mi o tom zvesť, aby som i ja prijdúc poklonil sa mu.

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.`

⁹A oni vypočujúc kráľa odišli. A hľa, hviezda, ktorú boli videli na východe slnca, išla pred nimi, až prišla a zastála nad miestom, kde bolo dieťatko.

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.

¹⁰A zazrúc hviezdu preveľmi sa zaradovali.

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

¹¹A keď vošli do domu, našli dieťatko s Máriou, jeho matkou, a padnúc klaňali sa mu a otvoriac svoje poklady obetovali mu dary: zlato, kadivo a myrru.

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,

¹²A napomenutí súc od Boha vo sne, aby sa nenavracovali k Heródesovi, navrátili sa inou cestou do svojej krajiny.

¹²and having been divinely warned in a dream not to turn back unto Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.

¹³A keď odišli, tu hľa, anjel Pánov sa ukázal vo sne Jozefovi a povedal mu: Vstaň a vezmi so sebou dieťatko i jeho matku a uteč do Egypta a buď tam, dokiaľ ti nepoviem! Lebo Heródes bude hľadať dieťatko, aby ho zahubil.

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.`

¹⁴A on vstal a vzal so sebou dieťatko i jeho matku, vnoci, a ušiel do Egypta

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

¹⁵a bol tam až do smrti Heródesovej, aby sa naplnilo, čo bolo povedané od Pána skrze proroka, ktorý povedal: Z Egypta som povolal svojho syna.

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.`

¹⁶Vtedy Heródes, vidiac, že je znevážený mudrcami, veľmi sa rozhneval a poslal a povraždil všetkých chlapcov, ktorí boli v Betleheme a na celom jeho okolí, od dvojročných a niže, podľa času, na ktorý sa bol dôkladne vypýtal mudrcov.

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.

¹⁷Vtedy sa naplnilo, čo bolo povedané od proroka Jeremiáša, ktorý povedal:

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

¹⁸Hlas bolo počuť v Ráme, nárek a plač a mnoho kvílenia: Rácheľ, oplakávajúca svoje deti, a nedala sa potešiť, lebo ich niet.

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.`

¹⁹A keď zomrel Heródes, tu hľa, anjel Pánov sa ukázal vo sne Jozefovi v Egypte

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

²⁰a povedal mu: Vstaň a vezmi so sebou dieťatko i jeho matku a idi do zeme Izraelovej, lebo pomreli tí, ktorí hľadali dušu dieťatka.

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.`

²¹A on vstal a vzal so sebou dieťatko i jeho matku a prišiel do zeme Izraelovej.

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

²²Ale keď počul, že Archelaus kraľuje v Judsku miesto svojeho otca, Heródesa, bál sa ta odísť, a dostanúc vo sne úpravu od Boha ušiel do krajov Galilee

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,

²³a prijdúc ta býval v meste zvanom Nazarete, aby sa naplnilo, čo bolo povedané skrze prorokov, že sa bude volať Nazarejský.

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.`
