Matthew 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA TINTORI
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 Nato Gesù in Betlem di Giuda al tempo del re Erode, ecco arrivare a Gerusalemme dei Magi dall'oriente e dire:
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 Dov'è il nato re dei Giudei? Vedemmo la sua stella in oriente e siam venuti per adorarlo.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.	3 Udito questo, Erode si turbò, e con lui tutta Gerusalemme.
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 E radunati tutti i principi dei sacerdoti e gli Scribi del popolo, domandò loro dove avesse a nascere il Cristo.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,	5 Ed essi gli risposero: A Betlem di Giuda; così infatti è stato scritto dal 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, Betlem, terra di Giuda, non sei la minima tra i capoluoghi di Giuda, chè da te uscirà il duce che governerà Israele mio popolo.
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.	7 Allora, chiamati nascostamente i Magi, Erode volle sapere da loro minutamente il tempo della stella che era loro apparsa, e indirizzandoli a Betlem, disse:
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 Andate e cercate con diligenza il fanciullo, e quando l'avrete trovato fatemelo sapere affinchè io pure venga ad adorarlo.
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 Essi, udito il re, partirono; ed ecco la stella, che avevano veduta in oriente, precederli, finché, giunta sopra il luogo ov'era il fanciullo, si fermò.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.	10 Vedendo la stella, provarono grande gioia;
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 ed entrati nella casa, trovarono il bambino con Maria sua Madre, e prostratisi lo adorarono, poi, aperti i loro tesori, gli offrirono in dono oro, 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 E avvertiti in sogno di non ripassare da Erode, tornarono al loro paese per altra via.
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 Partiti i Magi, ecco un angelo del Signore apparire a Giuseppe in sogno e dirgli: Levati, prendi il bambino e sua Madre, e fuggi in Egitto; e stai là finché non t'avviserò, perchè Erode cercherà del bambino per farlo morire.
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:	14 Egli, alzatosi, durante la notte, prese il bambino e la madre di lui e si ritirò in Egitto,
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 ove stette fino alla morte di Erode, affinchè si adempisse quanto era stato detto dal Signore per il profeta: Dall'Egitto ho richiamato il mio Figlio.
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 Allora Erode, vedendosi burlato dai Magi, s'irritò grandemente e mandò ad uccidere tutti i fanciulli (maschi) che erano in Betlem e in tutti i suoi dintorni, dai due anni in giù, secondo il tempo che aveva rilevato dai Magi.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,	17 Allora si adempì ciò che era stato detto per bocca del profeta Geremia:
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 Un grido si è udito in Rama di gran pianto e lamento: Rachele che piange i figli suoi, e non vuole esser consolata, perchè non sono più.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,	19 Morto Erode, ecco l'angelo del Signore apparire in sogno a Giuseppe in Egitto e dirgli:
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 Levati, prendi il fanciullo e la Madre di lui e va nella terra d'Israele; chè son già morti quelli che volevan la vita del fanciullo.
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.	21 Ed egli, alzatosi, prese il bambino e la madre di lui e tornò nella terra d'Israele.
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 Ma avendo sentito che Archelao regnava in Giudea invece del padre suo Erode temette di andarvi, e avvertito in sogno, si ritirò in Galilea,
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.	23 e andò a stabilirsi in una città chiamata Nazaret; onde si adempisse quello che fu detto per i profeti: Egli sarà chiamato Nazareno.
