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

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,

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

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.”

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.

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.

¹⁰A zazrúc hviezdu preveľmi sa zaradovali.

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

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.

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

¹²Being warned in a dream that they shouldn’t return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.

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.

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.”

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

¹⁴He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into 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 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

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, 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.”

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

²¹He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into 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

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,

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

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.”
