Vangelo secondo Matteo (متى) 2

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ولما ولد يسوع في بيت لحم اليهودية في ايام هيرودس الملك اذا مجوس من المشرق قد جاءوا الى اورشليم	1 When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.
2 قائلين اين هو المولود ملك اليهود. فاننا رأينا نجمه في المشرق واتينا لنسجد له.	2 Saying, 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.
3 فلما سمع هيرودس الملك اضطرب وجميع اورشليم معه.	3 And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 فجمع كل رؤساء الكهنة وكتبة الشعب وسألهم اين يولد المسيح.	4 And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.
5 فقالوا له في بيت لحم اليهودية. لانه هكذا مكتوب بالنبي.	5 But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet:
6 وانت يا بيت لحم ارض يهوذا لست الصغرى بين رؤساء يهوذا . لان منك يخرج مدبر يرعى شعبي اسرائيل	6 And 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.
7 حينئذ دعا هيرودس المجوس سرّا وتحقق منهم زمان النجم الذي ظهر.	7 Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;
8 ثم ارسلهم الى بيت لحم وقال اذهبوا وافحصوا بالتدقيق عن الصبي. ومتى وجدتموه فاخبروني لكي آتي انا ايضا واسجد له.	8 And 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.
9 فلما سمعوا من الملك ذهبوا واذا النجم الذي رأوه في المشرق يتقدمهم حتى جاء ووقف فوق حيث كان الصبي.	9 Who 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.
10 فلما رأوا النجم فرحوا فرحا عظيما جدا.	10 And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 وأتوا الى البيت ورأوا الصبي مع مريم امه. فخروا وسجدوا له. ثم فتحوا كنوزهم وقدموا له هدايا ذهبا ولبانا ومرّا.	11 And 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.
12 ثم اذ أوحي اليهم في حلم ان لا يرجعوا الى هيرودس انصرفوا في طريق اخرى الى كورتهم	12 And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country.
13 وبعدما انصرفوا اذا ملاك الرب قد ظهر ليوسف في حلم قائلا قم وخذ الصبي وامه واهرب الى مصر وكن هناك حتى اقول لك. لان هيرودس مزمع ان يطلب الصبي ليهلكه.	13 And 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.
14 فقام واخذ الصبي وامه ليلا وانصرف الى مصر.	14 Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:
15 وكان هناك الى وفاة هيرودس. لكي يتم ما قيل من الرب بالنبي القائل من مصر دعوت ابني	15 That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 حينئذ لما رأى هيرودس ان المجوس سخروا به غضب جدا. فارسل وقتل جميع الصبيان الذين في بيت لحم وفي كل تخومها من ابن سنتين فما دون بحسب الزمان الذي تحققه من المجوس.	16 Then 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.
17 حينئذ تم ما قيل بارميا النبي القائل.	17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying:
18 صوت سمع في الرامة نوح وبكاء وعويل كثير. راحيل تبكي على اولادها ولا تريد ان تتعزى لانهم ليسوا بموجودين	18 A voice in Rama was heard, lamentation and great mourning; Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 فلما مات هيرودس اذا ملاك الرب قد ظهر في حلم ليوسف في مصر	19 But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt,
20 قائلا. قم وخذ الصبي وامه واذهب الى ارض اسرائيل. لانه قد مات الذين كانوا يطلبون نفس الصبي.	20 Saying: 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.
21 فقام واخذ الصبي وامه وجاء الى ارض اسرائيل.	21 Who arose, and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 ولكن لما سمع ان ارخيلاوس يملك على اليهودية عوضا عن هيرودس ابيه خاف ان يذهب الى هناك. واذ أوحي اليه في حلم انصرف الى نواحي الجليل.	22 But 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.
23 وأتى وسكن في مدينة يقال لها ناصرة. لكي يتم ما قيل بالانبياء انه سيدعى ناصريا	23 And 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.
