Mateo 2
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Dumalaw ang mga Pantas
2 Nang isilang si Jesus sa Bethlehem ng Judea, sa panahon ng paghahari ni Herodes, may mga pantas na dumating sa Jerusalem mula sa silangan. 2 Nagtanung-tanong sila, “Nasaan ang isinilang na Hari ng mga Judio? Nakita namin ang kanyang bituin sa silangan at naparito kami upang sambahin siya.” 3 Nang marinig ito ni Haring Herodes, labis siyang nag-alala, at gayundin ang lahat ng mamamayan ng Jerusalem. 4 Pinulong niya ang lahat ng mga pinunong pari at ang mga tagapagturo ng kautusan sa sambayanan at itinanong sa kanila kung saan isisilang ang Cristo. 5 At sumagot sila, “Doon po sa Bethlehem ng Judea, tulad ng isinulat ng propeta:
6 ‘At ikaw, Bethlehem, sa lupain ng Juda,
ay hindi páhuhulí sa mga pinuno ng Juda;
sapagkat manggagaling sa iyo ang isang pinuno
na siyang magpapastol ng aking bayang Israel.’ ”
7 Pagkatapos ay lihim na ipinatawag ni Herodes ang mga pantas at tiniyak mula sa kanila ang panahon ng paglitaw ng bituin. 8 Sila'y kanyang pinapunta sa Bethlehem at pinagbilinan ng ganito, “Pumunta kayo at hanapin ninyong mabuti ang sanggol. Kapag siya'y nakita na ninyo, balitaan ninyo ako, upang makapunta rin ako at sumamba sa kanya.” 9 Pagkatapos marinig ang hari ay umalis na sila. At biglang lumitaw ang bituing nakita nila sa silangan at nanguna ito sa kanila hanggang sa huminto sa tapat ng kinaroroonan ng bata. 10 Labis ang kagalakan nila nang makita nila ang bituin. 11 At pagpasok nila sa bahay ay nakita nila ang bata, kasama ang ina nitong si Maria. Sila'y yumukod at sumamba sa bata. Binuksan nila ang mga sisidlan ng kanilang kayamanan at naghandog sa kanya ng mga regalong ginto, kamanyang, at mira. 12 At dahil binalaan sila ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng panaginip na huwag na silang babalik kay Herodes, dumaan sila sa ibang daan pauwi sa kanilang sariling bayan.
Ang Pagtakas Patungo sa Ehipto
13 Nang makaalis ang mga pantas, nagpakita kay Jose sa isang panaginip ang isang anghel ng Panginoon. “Bumangon ka,” sabi nito sa kanya. “Dalhin mo ang bata at ang kanyang ina. Tumakas kayo at pumunta sa Ehipto. Manatili kayo roon hanggang sabihin ko sa iyo, sapagkat ipahahanap na ni Herodes ang bata upang patayin.” 14 Bumangon nga siya at nang gabi ring iyon ay dinala ang bata at ang ina nito papuntang Ehipto. 15 Sila'y nanatili roon hanggang sa mamatay si Herodes. Naganap ito upang matupad ang sinabi ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng propeta: “Mula sa Ehipto ay tinawag ko ang aking anak.”
Ipinapatay ang Maliliit na Batang Lalaki
16 Galit na galit si Herodes nang mabatid niyang nalinlang siya ng mga pantas. Kaya't ipinapatay niya ang lahat ng mga batang lalaki may dalawang taong gulang pababa na nasa Bethlehem at sa mga karatig-pook, batay sa panahong tiniyak niya mula sa mga pantas. 17 Kaya't natupad ang salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni Propeta Jeremias:
18 “May tinig na narinig sa Rama,
pananangis at matinding panaghoy.
Tumatangis si Raquel dahil sa kanyang mga anak;
magpaaliw ay ayaw niya, sapagkat sila ay wala na.”
19 Pagkamatay ni Herodes, nagpakita ang isang anghel ng Panginoon kay Jose sa isang panaginip doon sa Ehipto, na nagsasabi, 20 “Bumangon ka, dalhin mo ang bata at ang kanyang ina at umuwi na kayo sa Israel. Namatay na ang mga nagnanais pumatay sa bata.” 21 Bumangon nga siya at iniuwi ang bata at ang ina nito sa Israel. 22 Ngunit nang mabalitaan niyang naghahari si Arquelao sa Judea, kapalit ng ama nitong si Herodes, natakot siyang pumunta roon. Dahil binalaan siya ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng panaginip, pumunta sila sa lalawigan ng Galilea. 23 Nanirahan sila sa Nazareth upang matupad ang sinabi ng mga propeta tungkol sa bata: “Siya'y tatawaging isang taga-Nazareth.”
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.

Wise Men Visit the King
2 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, wise men from the east arrived in Jerusalem,(A) 2 saying, ‘Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?(B) For we saw his star at its rising(C) and have come to worship him.’[a]
3 When King Herod heard this, he was deeply disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 So he assembled all the chief priests and scribes(D) of the people and asked them where the Messiah would be born.
5 ‘In Bethlehem of Judea,’ they told him, ‘because this is what was written by the prophet:
6 And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah:
Because out of you will come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’[b](E)
7 Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and asked them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, ‘Go and search carefully for the child. When you find him, report back to me so that I too can go and worship him.’[c](F)
9 After hearing the king, they went on their way. And there it was – the star they had seen at its rising. It led them until it came and stopped above the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overwhelmed with joy. 11 Entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and falling to their knees, they worshipped him.[d] Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.(G) 12 And being warned(H) in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another route.
The Flight into Egypt
13 After they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, ‘Get up! Take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to search for the child to kill him.’(I) 14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night, and escaped to Egypt. 15 He stayed there until Herod’s death, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled: Out of Egypt I called my Son.[e](J)
The Massacre of the Innocents
16 Then Herod, when he realised that he had been outwitted by the wise men, flew into a rage. He gave orders to massacre all the boys in and around Bethlehem who were two years old and under, in keeping with the time he had learned from the wise men.(K) 17 Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:
18 A voice was heard in Ramah,
weeping,[f] and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
and she refused to be consoled,
because they are no more.[g](L)
The Return to Nazareth
19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,(M) 20 saying, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, because those who intended to kill the child are dead.’ 21 So he got up, took the child and his mother, and entered the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned in a dream, he withdrew to the region of Galilee.(N) 23 Then he went and settled in a town called Nazareth to fulfil what was spoken through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.(O)
