馬太福音 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1當 希律 王的時候，耶穌生在 猶太 的 伯利恆 。有幾個博士從東方來到 耶路撒冷 ， 說 ：
1After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,
2「那生下來作 猶太 人之王的在哪裏？我們在東方看見他的星，特來拜他。」
2asking, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”
3希律 王聽見了，就心裏不安； 耶路撒冷 合城的人也都不安。
3When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4他就召齊了祭司長和民間的文士，問他們說：「基督當生在何處？」
4And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.
5他們回答說：「在 猶太 的 伯利恆 。因為有先知記着，說：
5“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6猶大 地的 伯利恆 啊， 你在 猶大 諸城中並不是最小的； 因為將來有一位君王要從你那裏出來， 牧養我 以色列 民。」
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 be the shepherd of My people Israel.’”
7當下， 希律 暗暗地召了博士來，細問那星是甚麼時候出現的，
7Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had appeared.
8就差他們往 伯利恆 去，說：「你們去仔細尋訪那小孩子，尋到了就來報信，我也好去拜他。」
8And sending them to Bethlehem, he said: “Go and search carefully for the Child, and when you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship Him.”
9他們聽見王的話就去了。在東方所看見的那星忽然在他們前頭行，直行到小孩子的地方，就在上頭停住了。
9After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stood over the place where the Child was.
10他們看見那星，就大大地歡喜；
10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.
11進了房子，看見小孩子和他母親 馬利亞 ，就俯伏拜那小孩子，揭開寶盒，拿黃金、乳香、沒藥為禮物獻給他。
11On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12博士因為在夢中被 主 指示不要回去見 希律 ，就從別的路回本地去了。
12And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.
13他們去後，有主的使者向 約瑟 夢中顯現，說：「起來！帶着小孩子同他母親逃往 埃及 ，住在那裏，等我吩咐你；因為 希律 必尋找小孩子，要除滅他。」
13When the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”
14約瑟 就起來，夜間帶着小孩子和他母親往 埃及 去，
14So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
15住在那裏，直到 希律 死了。這是要應驗主藉先知所說的話，說：「我從 埃及 召出我的兒子來。」
15where he stayed until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
16希律 見自己被博士愚弄，就大大發怒，差人將 伯利恆 城裏並四境所有的男孩，照着他向博士仔細查問的時候，凡兩歲以裏的，都殺盡了。
16When Herod saw that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was filled with rage. Sending orders, he put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, according to the time he had learned from the Magi.
17這就應了先知 耶利米 的話，說：
17Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18在 拉瑪 聽見號咷大哭的聲音， 是 拉結 哭她兒女， 不肯受安慰， 因為他們都不在了。
18“A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
19希律 死了以後，有主的使者在 埃及 向 約瑟 夢中顯現，說：
19After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.
20「起來！帶着小孩子和他母親往 以色列 地去，因為要害小孩子性命的人已經死了。」
20“Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, for those seeking the Child’s life are now dead.”
21約瑟 就起來，把小孩子和他母親帶到 以色列 地去；
21So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22只因聽見 亞基老 接着他父親 希律 作了 猶太 王，就怕往那裏去，又在夢中被 主 指示，便往 加利利 境內去了，
22But when he learned that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee,
23到了一座城，名叫 拿撒勒 ，就住在那裏。這是要應驗先知所說，他將稱為 拿撒勒 人的話了。
23and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
