Matthew 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 Now 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 Tendo, pois, Jesus nascido em Belém de Judá, no tempo do rei Herodes, eis que magos vieram do oriente a Jerusalém.
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 worship him.	2 Perguntaram eles: Onde está o rei dos judeus que acaba de nascer? Vimos a sua estrela no oriente e viemos adorá-lo.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.	3 A esta notícia, o rei Herodes ficou perturbado e toda Jerusalém com ele.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.	4 Convocou os príncipes dos sacerdotes e os escribas do povo e indagou deles onde havia de nascer o Cristo.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,	5 Disseram-lhe: Em Belém, na Judéia, porque assim foi escrito pelo profeta:
6 And 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 E tu, Belém, terra de Judá, não és de modo algum a menor entre as cidades de Judá, porque de ti sairá o chefe que governará Israel, meu povo{Miq 5,2}.
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.	7 Herodes, então, chamou secretamente os magos e perguntou-lhes sobre a época exata em que o astro lhes tinha aparecido.
8 And 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 E, enviando-os a Belém, disse: Ide e informai-vos bem a respeito do menino. Quando o tiverdes encontrado, comunicai-me, para que eu também vá adorá-lo.
9 When 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 Tendo eles ouvido as palavras do rei, partiram. E eis que e estrela, que tinham visto no oriente, os foi precedendo até chegar sobre o lugar onde estava o menino e ali parou.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.	10 A aparição daquela estrela os encheu de profunda alegria.
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 Entrando na casa, acharam o menino com Maria, sua mãe. Prostrando-se diante dele, o adoraram. Depois, abrindo seus tesouros, ofereceram-lhe como presentes: ouro, incenso e mirra.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.	12 Avisados em sonhos de não tornarem a Herodes, voltaram para sua terra por outro caminho.
13 And 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 Depois de sua partida, um anjo do Senhor apareceu em sonhos a José e disse: Levanta-te, toma o menino e sua mãe e foge para o Egito; fica lá até que eu te avise, porque Herodes vai procurar o menino para o matar.
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:	14 José levantou-se durante a noite, tomou o menino e sua mãe e partiu para o Egito.
15 And 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 Ali permaneceu até a morte de Herodes para que se cumprisse o que o Senhor dissera pelo profeta: Eu chamei do Egito meu filho {Os 11,1}.
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 inquired of the wise men.	16 Cumpriu-se, então, o que foi dito pelo profeta Jeremias:
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,	17 Em Ramá se ouviu uma voz, choro e grandes lamentos: é Raquel a chorar seus filhos; não quer consolação, porque já não existem {Jer 31,15}!
18 In 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 Com a morte de Herodes, o anjo do Senhor apareceu em sonhos a José, no Egito, e disse:
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,	19 Levanta-te, toma o menino e sua mãe e retorna à terra de Israel, porque morreram os que atentavam contra a vida do menino.
20 Saying, 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 José levantou-se, tomou o menino e sua mãe e foi para a terra de Israel.
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.	21 Ao ouvir, porém, que Arquelau reinava na Judéia, em lugar de seu pai Herodes, não ousou ir para lá. Avisado divinamente em sonhos, retirou-se para a província da Galiléia
22 But 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 e veio habitar na cidade de Nazaré para que se cumprisse o que foi dito pelos profetas: Será chamado Nazareno.
23 And 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.
