1When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.
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 ：
2Saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to adore him.
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。」
3And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with 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。
4And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.
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？」
5But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet:
5他們回答說：「在 猶太 的 伯利恆 。因為有先知記着，說：
6And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the captain that shall rule my people Israel.
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。」
7Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;
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，
8And sending them into Bethlehem, said: Go and diligently inquire after the child, and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come to adore him.
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。」
9Who having heard the king, went their way; and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.
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。
10And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
10他們看見那星，就大大地歡喜；
11And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
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。
12And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country.
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。
13And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him.
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。」
14Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:
14約瑟 就起來，夜間帶着小孩子和他母親往 埃及 去，
15That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son.
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。」
16Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry; and sending killed all the men children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
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。
17Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying:
17這就應了先知 耶利米 的話，說：
18A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
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。
19But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt,
19希律 死了以後，有主的使者在 埃及 向 約瑟 夢中顯現，說：
20Saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel. For they are dead that sought the life of the child.
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。」
21Who arose, and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
21約瑟 就起來，把小孩子和他母親帶到 以色列 地去；
22But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither: and being warned in sleep retired into the quarters of Galilee.
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，
23And coming he dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was said by prophets: That he shall be called a Nazarene.
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。
