博士寻访新王
2 在希律王的那些日子里,耶稣诞生在犹太的伯利恒。当时,有几个博士从东方来到耶路撒冷。 2 他们问:“生下来做犹太人之王的那一位在哪里?我们在东方看见了他的星,就来了要朝拜他。”
3 希律王听说了,就惊慌不安,全耶路撒冷的人也与他一起不安。 4 希律就召集了所有的祭司长和民间的经文士,向他们询问基督诞生在哪里。
5 他们对希律说:“在犹太的伯利恒,因为藉着先知有这样的记载:
7 于是,希律暗暗地召见了那几个博士,向他们仔细询问那颗星出现的时间, 8 然后打发他们前往伯利恒,说:“你们去仔细查问有关那孩子的事,一旦查出来了就向我报告,好让我也去拜他。”
9 他们听了王的话就去了。看哪,他们在东方看见的那颗星在前面引导他们,直到那孩子所在的地方,就在上头停住了。 10 他们看见那颗星,极其欢喜快乐。 11 他们进了屋子,看见那孩子与他的母亲玛丽亚在一起,就俯伏拜那孩子,然后打开他们的宝盒,把黄金、乳香和没药做为礼物献给他。 12 他们在梦中得了神的指示不要回到希律那里去,就从另一条路回到自己的家乡去了。
逃往埃及
13 那些博士离开以后,忽然主的一位天使在约瑟梦中显现,说:“起来,带着孩子和他的母亲逃往埃及,留在那里,直到我再指示你,因为希律要搜寻这孩子并杀害他。” 14 约瑟就起来,连夜带着孩子和他的母亲逃往埃及, 15 住在那里,直到希律死了。这是为要应验主藉着先知所说的话:“我从埃及召我的儿子出来。”[c]
屠杀婴孩
16 希律发现自己受了博士们的愚弄,就十分恼怒。于是,他按照从博士们那里所询问到的时间,派人把伯利恒城里和周围各个地区内两岁以下的男孩,全都杀了。 17 这就应验了藉着先知耶利米所说的话:
定居拿撒勒
19 希律死了以后,在埃及,忽然主的一位天使在约瑟梦中显现, 20 说:“起来,带着孩子和他的母亲回以色列地去,因为那些追索这孩子性命的人已经死了。” 21 约瑟就起来,带着孩子和他的母亲进了以色列地。 22 但是,听说亚基劳接续他父亲希律做了犹太王,约瑟就怕往那里去,而且他在梦中得了神的指示,就退到加利利地区, 23 来到一个叫拿撒勒的镇,住了下来。这是为要应验那藉着先知们所说的话:“他将被称为拿撒勒人。”

智者来朝拜
2 希律王执政期间,耶稣降生在犹太的伯利恒城。
当时有几位智者[a]从东方来到耶路撒冷, 2 问道:“那生来做犹太人之王的在哪里呢?我们在东方看见祂的星,特来朝拜祂。”
3 希律王听后,心里不安,全城的人都感到不安。 4 希律王就召来祭司长和律法教师,问他们:“基督在哪里降生呢?”
5 他们回答说:“在犹太的伯利恒,因为先知这样记载,
6 “‘犹大地区的伯利恒啊!
你在犹大各城中并不是最小的,
因为有一位君王要从你那里出来,
牧养我的以色列子民。’”
7 于是,希律暗中召见那几位智者,仔细查问那星出现的准确时间, 8 然后派他们去伯利恒,并吩咐道:“你们去仔细寻访那个小孩,找到了,就回来报信,我也好去朝拜祂。”
9 他们听了王的吩咐,就去了。忽然,那颗曾在东方出现的星又出现在他们前面,引领他们来到小孩耶稣所在的地方,便停下来。 10 他们看见那颗星,喜出望外。
11 他们进了屋子,看见孩子和祂母亲玛丽亚,就俯伏在地上拜祂,并打开盛宝物的盒子献上黄金、乳香和没药作礼物。 12 他们在梦中得到指示不可回希律那里,便改道返回了家乡。
逃往埃及
13 他们离开之后,主的天使在梦中向约瑟显现,说:“起来,带着小孩子和祂母亲逃往埃及,住在那里等候我的通知,因为希律要寻找这孩子,杀害祂。” 14 于是,约瑟起来带着孩子和祂母亲连夜逃往埃及, 15 并在那里一直住到希律死了。这就应验了主借着先知所说的话:“我把儿子从埃及召出来。”
16 希律见自己被智者愚弄,大为恼怒,便照着智者所说的时间推算,下令把伯利恒附近两岁以下的男孩杀光。 17 这正应验了耶利米先知的话:
18 “在拉玛有痛哭哀号的声音,
是拉结在为儿女哀痛,
不肯接受安慰,
因为他们都死了!”
定居拿撒勒
19 希律死后,主的天使在梦中向在埃及的约瑟显现,说: 20 “起来,带着孩子和祂母亲回以色列去吧!因为要杀害孩子的人已经死了。” 21 约瑟就起来,带着孩子和祂母亲返回以色列。
22 但约瑟听闻亚基劳继承父亲希律的王位统治犹太,就不敢回犹太。这时,他在梦中得到主的指示,便前往加利利地区, 23 定居在拿撒勒镇。这应验了先知的话:“祂将被称为拿撒勒人。”

Mateus 2
Nova Versão Transformadora
Visitantes do Oriente
2 Jesus nasceu em Belém, na Judeia, durante o reinado de Herodes. Por esse tempo, alguns sábios[a] das terras do Oriente chegaram a Jerusalém 2 e perguntaram: “Onde está o recém-nascido rei dos judeus? Vimos sua estrela no Oriente e viemos adorá-lo”.
3 Ao ouvir isso, o rei Herodes ficou perturbado, e com ele todo o povo de Jerusalém. 4 Reuniu os principais sacerdotes e os mestres da lei e lhes perguntou: “Onde nascerá o Cristo?”.
5 Eles responderam: “Em Belém da Judeia, pois assim escreveu o profeta:
6 ‘E você, Belém, na terra de Judá,
não é a menor entre as principais cidades[b] de Judá,
pois de você virá um governante
que será o pastor do meu povo, Israel’”.[c]
7 Então Herodes convocou os sábios em segredo e soube por eles o momento em que a estrela tinha aparecido. 8 “Vão a Belém e procurem o menino com atenção”, disse ele. “Quando o encontrarem, voltem e digam-me, para que eu vá e também o adore.”
9 Após a conversa com o rei, os sábios seguiram seu caminho, guiados pela estrela que tinham visto no Oriente. Ela ia adiante deles, até que parou acima do lugar onde o menino estava. 10 Quando viram a estrela, ficaram muito alegres. 11 Ao entrar na casa, viram o menino com Maria, sua mãe, e se prostraram e o adoraram. Então abriram seus tesouros e o presentearam com ouro, incenso e mirra.
12 Quando chegou a hora de partir, retornaram para sua terra por outro caminho, pois haviam sido avisados em sonho para não voltar a Herodes.
A fuga para o Egito
13 Depois que os sábios partiram, um anjo do Senhor apareceu a José em sonho. “Levante-se”, disse o anjo. “Fuja para o Egito com o menino e sua mãe. Fique lá até eu lhe dizer que volte, pois Herodes vai procurar o menino a fim de matá-lo.”
14 Naquela mesma noite, José se levantou e partiu com o menino e Maria, sua mãe, para o Egito, 15 onde ficaram até a morte de Herodes. Cumpriu-se, assim, o que o Senhor tinha dito por meio do profeta: “Do Egito chamei meu filho”.[d]
16 Quando Herodes se deu conta de que os sábios o haviam enganado, ficou furioso. Enviou soldados para matar todos os meninos de dois anos para baixo em Belém e seus arredores, tomando por base o relato dos sábios acerca da primeira aparição da estrela. 17 Com isso, cumpriu-se o que foi dito por meio do profeta Jeremias:
18 “Ouviu-se um clamor em Ramá,
choro e grande lamentação.
Raquel chora por seus filhos
e se recusa a ser consolada,
pois eles já não existem”.[e]
A volta para Israel
19 Quando Herodes morreu, um anjo do Senhor apareceu em sonho a José, no Egito. 20 “Levante-se”, disse o anjo. “Leve o menino e a mãe de volta para a terra de Israel, pois já morreram os que tentavam matar o menino.”
21 Então José se levantou e se preparou para voltar à terra de Israel com o menino e sua mãe. 22 Soube, porém, que o novo governador da Judeia era Arquelau, filho de Herodes, e teve medo de ir para lá. Depois de ser avisado em sonho, partiu para a região da Galileia. 23 A família foi morar numa cidade chamada Nazaré, cumprindo-se, desse modo, o que os profetas haviam dito, que Jesus seria chamado nazareno.
Matthew 2
King James Version
2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Matthew 2
New International Version
The Magi Visit the Messiah
2 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea,(A) during the time of King Herod,(B) Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?(C) We saw his star(D) when it rose and have come to worship him.”
3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem(E) in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’[b]”(F)
7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.(G) Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts(H) of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned(I) in a dream(J) not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
The Escape to Egypt
13 When they had gone, an angel(K) of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream.(L) “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”(M)
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled(N) what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”[c](O)
16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. 17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:(P)
18 “A voice is heard in Ramah,
weeping and great mourning,
Rachel(Q) weeping for her children
and refusing to be comforted,
because they are no more.”[d](R)
The Return to Nazareth
19 After Herod died, an angel(S) of the Lord appeared in a dream(T) to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.”(U)
21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream,(V) he withdrew to the district of Galilee,(W) 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth.(X) So was fulfilled(Y) what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.(Z)
