마태복음 2

1헤롯 왕 때에 예수께서 유대 베들레헴에서 나시매 동방으로부터 박사들이 예루살렘에 이르러 말하되 2유대인의 왕으로 나신 이가 어디 계시뇨 우리가 동방에서 그의 별을 보고 그에게 경배하러 왔노라 하니 3헤롯 왕과 온 예루살렘이 듣고 소동한지라 4왕이 모든 대제사장과 백성의 서기관들을 모아 그리스도가 어디서 나겠느뇨 물으니 5가로되 유대 베들레헴이오니 이는 선지자로 이렇게 기록된 바 6또 유대 땅 베들레헴아 너는 유대 고을 중에 가장 작지 아니하도다 네게서 한 다스리는 자가 나와서 내 백성 이스라엘의 목자가 되리라 하였음이니이다 7이에 헤롯이 가만히 박사들을 불러 별이 나타난 때를 자세히 묻고 8베들레헴으로 보내며 이르되 가서 아기에 대하여 자세히 알아보고 찾거든 내게 고하여 나도 가서 그에게 경배하게 하라 9박사들이 왕의 말을 듣고 갈새 동방에서 보던 그 별이 문득 앞서 인도하여 가다가 아기 있는 곳 위에 머물러 섰는지라 10저희가 별을 보고 가장 크게 기뻐하고 기뻐하더라 11집에 들어가 아기와 그 모친 마리아의 함께 있는 것을 보고 엎드려 아기께 경배하고 보배합을 열어 황금과 유향과 몰약을 예물로 드리니라 12꿈에 헤롯에게로 돌아가지 말라 지시하심을 받아 다른 길로 고국에 돌아가니라 13저희가 떠난 후에 주의 사자가 요셉에게 현몽하여 가로되 헤롯이 아기를 찾아 죽이려 하니 일어나 아기와 그의 모친을 데리고 애굽으로 피하여 내가 네게 이르기까지 거기 있으라 하시니 14요셉이 일어나서 밤에 아기와 그의 모친을 데리고 애굽으로 떠나가 15헤롯이 죽기까지 거기 있었으니 이는 주께서 선지자로 말씀하신 바 애굽에서 내 아들을 불렀다 함을 이루려 하심이니라 16이에 헤롯이 박사들에게 속은 줄을 알고 심히 노하여 사람을 보내어 베들레헴과 그 모든 지경 안에 있는 사내아이를 박사들에게 자세히 알아 본 그 때를 표준하여 두 살부터 그 아래로 다 죽이니 17이에 선지자 예레미야로 말씀하신 바 18라마에서 슬퍼하며 크게 통곡하는 소리가 들리니 라헬이 그 자식을 위하여 애곡하는 것이라 그가 자식이 없으므로 위로 받기를 거절하였도다 함이 이루어졌느니라 19헤롯이 죽은 후에 주의 사자가 애굽에서 요셉에게 현몽하여 가로되 20일어나 아기와 그 모친을 데리고 이스라엘 땅으로 가라 아기의 목숨을 찾던 자들이 죽었느니라 하시니 21요셉이 일어나 아기와 그 모친을 데리고 이스라엘 땅으로 들어오니라 22그러나 아켈라오가 그 부친 헤롯을 이어 유대의 임금 됨을 듣고 거기로 가기를 무서워하더니 꿈에 지시하심을 받아 갈릴리 지방으로 떠나가 23나사렛이란 동네에 와서 사니 이는 선지자로 하신 말씀에 나사렛 사람이라 칭하리라 하심을 이루려 함이러라

1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, 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.” 3When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born. 5They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet, 6‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah: for out of you shall come a governor, who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’” 7Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared. 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.” 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. 10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 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. 12Being warned in a dream that they shouldn’t return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way. 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.” 14He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt, 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.” 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. 17Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, 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.” 19But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, 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.” 21He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 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, 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.”

1Toen nu Jezus geboren was te Bethlehem, gelegen in Judea, in de dagen van den koning Herodes, ziet, enige wijzen van het Oosten zijn te Jeruzalem aangekomen. 2Zeggende: Waar is de geboren Koning der Joden? want wij hebben gezien Zijn ster in het Oosten, en zijn gekomen om Hem te aanbidden. 3De koning Herodes nu, dit gehoord hebbende, werd ontroerd, en geheel Jeruzalem, met hem. 4En bijeenvergaderd hebbende al de overpriesters en Schriftgeleerden des volks, vraagde van hen, waar de Christus zou geboren worden. 5En zij zeiden tot hem: Te Bethlehem, in Judea gelegen; want alzo is geschreven door den profeet: 6En gij Bethlehem, gij land Juda! zijt geenszins de minste onder de vorsten van Juda; want uit u zal de Leidsman voortkomen, Die Mijn volk Israel weiden zal. 7Toen heeft Herodes de wijzen heimelijk geroepen, en vernam naarstiglijk van hen den tijd, wanneer de ster verschenen was; 8En hen naar Bethlehem zendende, zeide: Reist heen, en onderzoekt naarstiglijk naar dat Kindeken, en als gij Het zult gevonden hebben, boodschapt het mij, opdat ik ook kome en Datzelve aanbidde. 9En zij, den koning gehoord hebbende, zijn heengereisd; en ziet, de ster, die zij in het oosten gezien hadden, ging hun voor, totdat zij kwam en stond boven de plaats, waar het Kindeken was. 10Als zij nu de ster zagen, verheugden zij zich met zeer grote vreugde. 11En in het huis gekomen zijnde, vonden zij het Kindeken met Maria, Zijn moeder, en nedervallende hebben zij Hetzelve aangebeden; en hun schatten opengedaan hebbende, brachten zij Hem geschenken: goud en wierook, en mirre. 12En door Goddelijke openbaring vermaand zijnde in den droom, dat zij niet zouden wederkeren tot Herodes, vertrokken zij door een anderen weg weder naar hun land. 13Toen zij nu vertrokken waren, ziet, de engel des Heeren verschijnt Jozef in den droom, zeggende: Sta op, en neem tot u het Kindeken en Zijn moeder, en vlied in Egypte, en wees aldaar, totdat ik het u zeggen zal; want Herodes zal het Kindeken zoeken, om Hetzelve te doden. 14Hij dan opgestaan zijnde, nam het Kindeken en Zijn moeder tot zich in den nacht, en vertrok naar Egypte; 15En was aldaar tot den dood van Herodes; opdat vervuld zou worden hetgeen van den Heere gesproken is door den profeet, zeggende: Uit Egypte heb Ik Mijn Zoon geroepen. 16Als Herodes zag, dat hij van de wijzen bedrogen was, toen werd hij zeer toornig, en enigen afgezonden hebbende, heeft omgebracht al de kinderen, die binnen Bethlehem, en in al deszelfs landpalen waren, van twee jaren oud en daaronder, naar den tijd, dien hij van de wijzen naarstiglijk onderzocht had. 17Toen is vervuld geworden, hetgeen gesproken is door den profeet Jeremia, zeggende: 18Een stem is in Rama gehoord, geklag, geween en veel gekerm; Rachel beweende haar kinderen, en wilde niet vertroost wezen, omdat zij niet zijn! 19Toen Herodes nu gestorven was, ziet, de engel des Heeren verschijnt Jozef in den droom, in Egypte. 20Zeggende: Sta op, neem het Kindeken en Zijn moeder tot u, en trek in het land Israels; want zij zijn gestorven, die de ziel van het Kindeken zochten. 21Hij dan, opgestaan zijnde, heeft tot zich genomen het Kindeken en Zijn moeder, en is gekomen in het land Israels. 22Maar als hij hoorde, dat Archelaus in Judea koning was, in de plaats van zijn vader Herodes, vreesde hij daarheen te gaan; maar door Goddelijke openbaring vermaand in den droom, is hij vertrokken in de delen van Galilea. 23En daar gekomen zijnde, nam hij zijn woonplaats in de stad, genaamd Nazareth; opdat vervuld zou worden, wat door de profeten gezegd is, dat Hij Nazarener zal geheten worden.
