馬太福音 2
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English 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 ：
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「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。」
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.”
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 it, he was troubled, 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？」
4Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5他們回答說：「在 猶太 的 伯利恆 。因為有先知記着，說：
5They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
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‘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.’”
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 secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star 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。」
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.”
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。
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.
10他們看見那星，就大大地歡喜；
10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
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。
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.
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。
12Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
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。」
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.”
14約瑟 就起來，夜間帶着小孩子和他母親往 埃及 去，
14He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into 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。」
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.”
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。
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.
17這就應了先知 耶利米 的話，說：
17Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
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 was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t 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：
19But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
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“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.”
21約瑟 就起來，把小孩子和他母親帶到 以色列 地去；
21He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into 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 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,
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 came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.
