Matthew 2

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying,	1 ولما ولد يسوع في بيت لحم اليهودية في ايام هيرودس الملك اذا مجوس من المشرق قد جاءوا الى اورشليم
2 "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him."	2 قائلين اين هو المولود ملك اليهود. فاننا رأينا نجمه في المشرق واتينا لنسجد له.
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;	3 فلما سمع هيرودس الملك اضطرب وجميع اورشليم معه.
4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.	4 فجمع كل رؤساء الكهنة وكتبة الشعب وسألهم اين يولد المسيح.
5 They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it is written by the prophet:	5 فقالوا له في بيت لحم اليهودية. لانه هكذا مكتوب بالنبي.
6 'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will govern my people Israel.'"	6 وانت يا بيت لحم ارض يهوذا لست الصغرى بين رؤساء يهوذا . لان منك يخرج مدبر يرعى شعبي اسرائيل
7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star appeared;	7 حينئذ دعا هيرودس المجوس سرّا وتحقق منهم زمان النجم الذي ظهر.
8 and he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him bring me word, that I too may come and worship him."	8 ثم ارسلهم الى بيت لحم وقال اذهبوا وافحصوا بالتدقيق عن الصبي. ومتى وجدتموه فاخبروني لكي آتي انا ايضا واسجد له.
9 When they had heard the king they went their way; and lo, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was.	9 فلما سمعوا من الملك ذهبوا واذا النجم الذي رأوه في المشرق يتقدمهم حتى جاء ووقف فوق حيث كان الصبي.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy;	10 فلما رأوا النجم فرحوا فرحا عظيما جدا.
11 and going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.	11 وأتوا الى البيت ورأوا الصبي مع مريم امه. فخروا وسجدوا له. ثم فتحوا كنوزهم وقدموا له هدايا ذهبا ولبانا ومرّا.
12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.	12 ثم اذ أوحي اليهم في حلم ان لا يرجعوا الى هيرودس انصرفوا في طريق اخرى الى كورتهم
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him."	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.
14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt,	14 فقام واخذ الصبي وامه ليلا وانصرف الى مصر.
15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt have I called my son."	15 وكان هناك الى وفاة هيرودس. لكي يتم ما قيل من الرب بالنبي القائل من مصر دعوت ابني
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.	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.
17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:	17 حينئذ تم ما قيل بارميا النبي القائل.
18 "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they were no more."	18 صوت سمع في الرامة نوح وبكاء وعويل كثير. راحيل تبكي على اولادها ولا تريد ان تتعزى لانهم ليسوا بموجودين
19 But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,	19 فلما مات هيرودس اذا ملاك الرب قد ظهر في حلم ليوسف في مصر
20 "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 قائلا. قم وخذ الصبي وامه واذهب الى ارض اسرائيل. لانه قد مات الذين كانوا يطلبون نفس الصبي.
21 And he rose and took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.	21 فقام واخذ الصبي وامه وجاء الى ارض اسرائيل.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus reigned over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee.	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.
23 And he went and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, "He shall be called a Nazarene."	23 وأتى وسكن في مدينة يقال لها ناصرة. لكي يتم ما قيل بالانبياء انه سيدعى ناصريا
