King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now 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,
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 worship 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。」
3When Herod the king had heard these things , he 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 when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded 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?」
5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus 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, 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.
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, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
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 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.
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。」
9When 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.
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。
10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
10他們看見那星,就大大地歡喜;
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.
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 being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
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 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.
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。」
14When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
14約瑟 就起來,夜間帶着小孩子和他母親往 埃及 去,
15And 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.
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。」
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 enquired 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 Jeremy the prophet, saying,
17這就應了先知 耶利米 的話,說:
18In 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.
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。
19¶ But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream 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 young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.
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。」
21And he arose, and took the young 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 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:
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 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.
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。
