STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר נוֹלַד יֵשׁוּעַ בְּבֵית־לֶחֶם יְהוּדָה בִּימֵי הוֹרְדוֹס הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיָּבֹאוּ מְגוּשִׁים מֵאֶרֶץ מִזְרָח יְרוּשָׁלָיְמָה לֵאמֹר	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 אַיֵּה מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים הַנּוֹלָד כִּי רָאִינוּ אֶת־כּוֹכָבוֹ בַּמִּזְרָח וַנָּבֹא לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺת לוֹ	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 וַיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹעַ הוֹרְדוֹס הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת־דִּבְרֵיהֶם וַיִּבָּהֵל הוּא וְכָל־יְרוּשָׁלַיִם עִמּוֹ	3 And king Herod hearing this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 וַיַּקְהֵל אֶת־כָּל־רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים וְסוֹפְרֵי הָעָם וַיִּדְרשׁ מֵאִתָּם לֵאמֹר אֵיפֹה יִוָּלֵד הַמָּשִׁיחַ	4 And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.
5 וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ בְּבֵית־לֶחֶם יְהוּדָה כִּי־כֵן כָּתוּב בְּיַד הַנָּבִיא	5 But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet:
6 וְאַתָּה בֵּית־לֶחֶם אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה אֵינְךָ צָעִיר בְּאַלֻּפֵי יְהוּדָה כִּי מִמְּךָ יֵצֵא מוֹשֵׁל אֲשֶׁר יִרְעֶה אֶת־עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל	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 אָז קָרָא הוֹרְדוֹס לַמְּגוּשִׁים בַּסֵּתֶר וַיַּחְקֹר אֹתָם לָדַעַת עֵת הֵרָאוֹת הַכּוֹכָב	7 Then Herod, privately calling the wise men, learned diligently of them the time of the star which appeared to them;
8 וַיִּשְׁלָחֵם בֵּית־לֶחֶם וַיֹּאמַר לְכוּ חִקְרוּ הֵיטֵב עַל־דְּבַר הַיָּלֶד וְהָיָה כִּי־תִמְצְאוּן אֹתוֹ וְהִגַּדְתֶּם לִי וְאָבֹאָה לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺת־לוֹ גַּם־אָנִי	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 וַיְהִי כְשָׁמְעָם אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֵּלֵכוּ וְהִנֵּה הַכּוֹכָב אֲשֶׁר־רָאוּ בַמִּזְרָח דָּרַךְ לִפְנֵיהֶם עַד בֹּאוֹ אֶל־מְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם הַיָּלֶד וַיַּעֲמֹד מִמַּעַל לוֹ	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 וַיִּרְאוּ אֶת־הַכּוֹכָב וַיִּשְׂמְחוּ שִׂמְחָה גְּדוֹלָה עַד־מְאֹד	10 And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 וַיָּבֹאוּ הַבַּיְתָה וַיִּמְצְאוּ אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד עִם־מִרְיָם אִמּוֹ וַיִּפְּלוּ עַל־פְּנֵיהֶם וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ וַיִּפְתְּחוּ אֶת־אוֹצְרוֹתָם וַיַּקְרִיבוּ לוֹ מִנְחָה זָהָב וּלְבוֹנָה וָמֹר	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 וַיְצֻוּוּ בַחֲלוֹם לְבִלְתִּי שׁוּב אֶל־הוֹרְדוֹס וַיֵּלְכוּ בְּדֶרֶךְ אַחֵר אֶל־אַרְצָם	12 And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country.
13 הֵם הָלְכוּ מִשָּׁם וְהִנֵּה מַלְאַךְ יְהוָֹה נִרְאָה אֶל־יוֹסֵף בַּחֲלוֹם לֵאמֹר קוּם קַח אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד וְאֶת־אִמּוֹ וּבְרַח־לְךָ מִצְרַיְמָה וֶהְיֵה־שָׁם עַד־אֲשֶׁר אֹמַר אֵלֶיךָ כִּי הוֹרְדוֹס צֹדֶה אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד לְאַבְּדוֹ	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 וַיָּקָם וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד וְאֶת־אִמּוֹ בַּלָּיְלָה וַיִּבְרַח מִצְרָיְמָה	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 וַיְהִי־שָׁם עַד־מוֹת הוֹרְדוֹס לְמַלֹּאת אֵת אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָֹה בְּיַד הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר מִמִּצְרַיִם קָרָאתִי לִבְנִי	15 That it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 וַיַּרְא הוֹרְדוֹס כִּי הֵתֵלּוּ בוֹ הַמְּגוּשִׁים וַיִּקְצֹף מְאֹד וַיִּשְׁלַח וַיָּמֶת אֶת־כָּל־הַיְלָדִים אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית־לֶחֶם וּבְכָל־גְּבוּלֶיהָ מִבֶּן־שְׁנָתַיִם וּלְמָטָּה כְּפִי הָעֵת אֲשֶׁר חֲקָרָהּ מִפִּי הַמְּגוּשִׁים	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 וַיִּמָּלֵא הַדָּבָר הַנֶּאֱמָר בְּפִי יִרְמְיָה הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר	17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying:
18 קוֹל בְּרָמָה נִשְׁמָע נְהִי וּבְכִי תַמְרוּרִים רָחֵל מְבַכָּה עַל־בָּנֶיהָ מֵאֲנָה לְהִנָּחֵם כִּי אֵינָם	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 וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי מוֹת הוֹרְדוֹס וְהִנֵּה מַלְאַךְ יְהוָֹה נִרְאָה בַחֲלוֹם אֶל־יוֹסֵף בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם	19 But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt,
20 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו קוּם קַח אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד וְאֶת־אִמּוֹ וְלֵךְ שׁוּב אֶל־אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי מֵתוּ הַמְבַקְשִׁים אֶת־נֶפֶשׁ הַיָּלֶד	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 וַיָּקָם וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הַיֶּלֶד וְאֶת־אִמּוֹ וַיָּבֹא אַרְצָה יִשְׂרָאֵל	21 Who arose, and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 וּכְשָׁמְעוֹ כִּי אַרְקְלוֹס מָלַךְ בִּיהוּדָה תַּחַת הוֹרְדוֹס אָבִיו יָרֵא לָלֶכֶת שָׁמָּה וַיְצֻוֶּה בַחֲלוֹם וַיֵּלֶךְ לוֹ אֶל־אַרְצוֹת הַגָּלִיל	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 וַיָּבֹא וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּעִיר אֲשֶׁר שְׁמָהּ נְצָרֶת לְמַלֹּאת הַדָּבָר הַנֶּאֱמָר עַל־פִּי הַנְּבִיאִים כִּי נָצְרִי יִקָּרֵא לוֹ	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.
