Matthew 2

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,	1 Αφου δε εγεννηθη ο Ιησους εν Βηθλεεμ της Ιουδαιας επι των ημερων Ηρωδου του βασιλεως, ιδου, μαγοι απο ανατολων ηλθον εις Ιεροσολυμα, λεγοντες?
2 saying, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage."	2 Που ειναι ο γεννηθεις βασιλευς των Ιουδαιων; διοτι ειδομεν τον αστερα αυτου εν τη ανατολη και ηλθομεν δια να προσκυνησωμεν αυτον.
3 When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.	3 Ακουσας δε Ηρωδης ο βασιλευς, εταραχθη και πασα η Ιεροσολυμα μετ' αυτου,
4 Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born.	4 και συναξας παντας τους αρχιερεις και γραμματεις του λαου, ηρωτα να μαθη παρ' αυτων που ο Χριστος γενναται.
5 They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:	5 Εκεινοι δε ειπον προς αυτον? Εν Βηθλεεμ της Ιουδαιας? διοτι ουτως ειναι γεγραμμενον δια του προφητου?
6 'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel.'"	6 Και συ, Βηθλεεμ, γη Ιουδα, δεν εισαι ουδολως ελαχιστη μεταξυ των ηγεμονων του Ιουδα? διοτι εκ σου θελει εξελθει ηγουμενος, οστις θελει ποιμανει τον λαον μου τον Ισραηλ.
7 Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star's appearance.	7 Τοτε ο Ηρωδης καλεσας κρυφιως τους μαγους εξηκριβωσε παρ' αυτων τον καιρον του φαινομενου αστερος,
8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage."	8 και πεμψας αυτους εις Βηθλεεμ, ειπε? Πορευθεντες ακριβως εξετασατε περι του παιδιου, αφου δε ευρητε, απαγγειλατε μοι, δια να ελθω και εγω να προσκυνησω αυτο.
9 After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.	9 Εκεινοι δε ακουσαντες του βασιλεως ανεχωρησαν? και ιδου, ο αστηρ τον οποιον ειδον εν τη ανατολη προεπορευετο αυτων, εωσου ελθων εσταθη επανω οπου ητο το παιδιον.
10 They were overjoyed at seeing the star,	10 Ιδοντες δε τον αστερα εχαρησαν χαραν μεγαλην σφοδρα,
11 and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.	11 και ελθοντες εις την οικιαν ευρον το παιδιον μετα Μαριας της μητρος αυτου, και πεσοντες προσεκυνησαν αυτο, και ανοιξαντες τους θησαυρους αυτων προσεφεραν εις αυτο δωρα, χρυσον και λιβανον και σμυρναν?
12 And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.	12 και αποκαλυφθεντες θεοθεν κατ' οναρ να μη επιστρεψωσι προς τον Ηρωδην, δι' αλλης οδου ανεχωρησαν εις την χωραν αυτων.
13 When they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him."	13 Αφου δε αυτοι ανεχωρησαν, ιδου, αγγελος Κυριου φαινεται κατ' οναρ εις τον Ιωσηφ, λεγων? Εγερθεις παραλαβε το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου και φευγε εις Αιγυπτον, και εσο εκει εωσου ειπω σοι? διοτι μελλει ο Ηρωδης να ζητηση το παιδιον, δια να απολεση αυτο.
14 Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt.	14 Ο δε εγερθεις παρελαβε το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου δια νυκτος και ανεχωρησεν εις Αιγυπτον,
15 He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, "Out of Egypt I called my son."	15 και ητο εκει εως της τελευτης του Ηρωδου, δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν υπο του Κυριου δια του προφητου λεγοντος? Εξ Αιγυπτου εκαλεσα τον υιον μου.
16 When Herod realized that he had been deceived by the magi, he became furious. He ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had ascertained from the magi.	16 Τοτε ο Ηρωδης, ιδων οτι ενεπαιχθη υπο των μαγων, εθυμωθη σφοδρα και αποστειλας εφονευσε παντας τους παιδας τους εν Βηθλεεμ και εν πασι τοις οριοις αυτης απο δυο ετων και κατωτερω κατα τον καιρον, τον οποιον εξηκριβωσε παρα των μαγων.
17 Then was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet:	17 Τοτε επληρωθη το ρηθεν υπο Ιερεμιου του προφητου, λεγοντος?
18 "A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loud lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be consoled, since they were no more."	18 Φωνη ηκουσθη εν Ραμα, θρηνος και κλαυθμος και οδυρμος πολυς? η Ραχηλ εκλαιε τα τεκνα αυτης, και δεν ηθελε να παρηγορηθη, διοτι δεν υπαρχουσι.
19 When Herod had died, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt	19 Τελευτησαντος δε του Ηρωδου ιδου, αγγελος Κυριου φαινεται κατ' οναρ εις τον Ιωσηφ εν Αιγυπτω,
20 and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead."	20 λεγων? Εγερθεις παραλαβε το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου και υπαγε εις γην Ισραηλ? διοτι απεθανον οι ζητουντες την ψυχην του παιδιου.
21 He rose, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.	21 Ο δε εγερθεις παρελαβε το παιδιον και την μητερα αυτου και ηλθεν εις γην Ισραηλ.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go back there. And because he had been warned in a dream, he departed for the region of Galilee.	22 Ακουσας δε οτι ο Αρχελαος βασιλευει επι της Ιουδαιας αντι Ηρωδου του πατρος αυτου, εφοβηθη να υπαγη εκει? αποκαλυφθεις δε θεοθεν κατ' οναρ ανεχωρησεν εις τα μερη της Γαλιλαιας,
23 He went and dwelt in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, "He shall be called a Nazorean."	23 και ελθων κατωκησεν εις πολιν λεγομενην Ναζαρετ, δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια των προφητων? οτι Ναζωραιος θελει ονομασθη.
