Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
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.
1του δε ιησου γεννηθεντοσ εν βηθλεεμ τησ ιουδαιασ εν ημεραισ ηρωδου του βασιλεωσ ιδου μαγοι απο ανατολων παρεγενοντο εισ ιεροσολυμα
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.
2λεγοντεσ που εστιν ο τεχθεισ βασιλευσ των ιουδαιων ειδομεν γαρ αυτου τον αστερα εν τη ανατολη και ηλθομεν προσκυνησαι αυτω
3And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
3ακουσασ δε ηρωδησ ο βασιλευσ εταραχθη και πασα ιεροσολυμα μετ αυτου
4And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.
4και συναγαγων παντασ τουσ αρχιερεισ και γραμματεισ του λαου επυνθανετο παρ αυτων που ο χριστοσ γενναται
5But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet:
5οι δε ειπον αυτω εν βηθλεεμ τησ ιουδαιασ ουτωσ γαρ γεγραπται δια του προφητου
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.
6και συ βηθλεεμ γη ιουδα ουδαμωσ ελαχιστη ει εν τοισ ηγεμοσιν ιουδα εκ σου γαρ εξελευσεται ηγουμενοσ οστισ ποιμανει τον λαον μου τον ισραηλ
7Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;
7τοτε ηρωδησ λαθρα καλεσασ τουσ μαγουσ ηκριβωσεν παρ αυτων τον χρονον του φαινομενου αστεροσ
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.
8και πεμψασ αυτουσ εισ βηθλεεμ ειπεν πορευθεντεσ ακριβωσ εξετασατε περι του παιδιου επαν δε ευρητε απαγγειλατε μοι οπωσ καγω ελθων προσκυνησω αυτω
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.
9οι δε ακουσαντεσ του βασιλεωσ επορευθησαν και ιδου ο αστηρ ον ειδον εν τη ανατολη προηγεν αυτουσ εωσ ελθων εστη επανω ου ην το παιδιον
10And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
10ιδοντεσ δε τον αστερα εχαρησαν χαραν μεγαλην σφοδρα
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.
11και ελθοντεσ εισ την οικιαν ειδον το παιδιον μετα μαριασ τησ μητροσ αυτου και πεσοντεσ προσεκυνησαν αυτω και ανοιξαντεσ τουσ θησαυρουσ αυτων προσηνεγκαν αυτω δωρα χρυσον και λιβανον και σμυρναν
12And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country.
12και χρηματισθεντεσ κατ οναρ μη ανακαμψαι προσ ηρωδην δι αλλησ οδου ανεχωρησαν εισ την χωραν αυτων
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.
13αναχωρησαντων δε αυτων ιδου αγγελοσ κυριου φαινεται κατ οναρ τω ιωσηφ λεγων εγερθεισ παραλαβε το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου και φευγε εισ αιγυπτον και ισθι εκει εωσ αν ειπω σοι μελλει γαρ ηρωδησ ζητειν το παιδιον του απολεσαι αυτο
14Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:
14ο δε εγερθεισ παρελαβεν το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου νυκτοσ και ανεχωρησεν εισ αιγυπτον
15That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son.
15και ην εκει εωσ τησ τελευτησ ηρωδου ινα πληρωθη το ρηθεν υπο του κυριου δια του προφητου λεγοντοσ εξ αιγυπτου εκαλεσα τον υιον μου
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.
16τοτε ηρωδησ ιδων οτι ενεπαιχθη υπο των μαγων εθυμωθη λιαν και αποστειλασ ανειλεν παντασ τουσ παιδασ τουσ εν βηθλεεμ και εν πασιν τοισ οριοισ αυτησ απο διετουσ και κατωτερω κατα τον χρονον ον ηκριβωσεν παρα των μαγων
17Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying:
17τοτε επληρωθη το ρηθεν υπο ιερεμιου του προφητου λεγοντοσ
18A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
18φωνη εν ραμα ηκουσθη θρηνοσ και κλαυθμοσ και οδυρμοσ πολυσ ραχηλ κλαιουσα τα τεκνα αυτησ και ουκ ηθελεν παρακληθηναι οτι ουκ εισιν
19But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt,
19τελευτησαντοσ δε του ηρωδου ιδου αγγελοσ κυριου κατ οναρ φαινεται τω ιωσηφ εν αιγυπτω
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.
20λεγων εγερθεισ παραλαβε το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου και πορευου εισ γην ισραηλ τεθνηκασιν γαρ οι ζητουντεσ την ψυχην του παιδιου
21Who arose, and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
21ο δε εγερθεισ παρελαβεν το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου και ηλθεν εισ γην ισραηλ
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.
22ακουσασ δε οτι αρχελαοσ βασιλευει επι τησ ιουδαιασ αντι ηρωδου του πατροσ αυτου εφοβηθη εκει απελθειν χρηματισθεισ δε κατ οναρ ανεχωρησεν εισ τα μερη τησ γαλιλαιασ
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.
23και ελθων κατωκησεν εισ πολιν λεγομενην ναζαρετ οπωσ πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια των προφητων οτι ναζωραιοσ κληθησεται
