1. 1CMNCBS希律王执政期间，耶稣降生在犹太的伯利恒城。 当时有几位智者从东方来到耶路撒冷，BSBBSB: After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,
2. 2CMNCBS问道：“那生来做犹太人之王的在哪里呢？我们在东方看见祂的星，特来朝拜祂。”BSBBSB: asking, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”
3. 3CMNCBS希律王听后，心里不安，全城的人都感到不安。BSBBSB: When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4. 4CMNCBS希律王就召来祭司长和律法教师，问他们：“基督降生在哪里呢？”BSBBSB: And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.
5. 5CMNCBS他们回答说：“在犹太的伯利恒，因为先知这样记载，BSBBSB: “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6. 6CMNCBS“‘犹大地区的伯利恒啊！ 你在犹大各城中并不是最小的， 因为有一位君王要从你那里出来， 牧养我的以色列子民。’”BSBBSB: ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of My people Israel.’”
7. 7CMNCBS于是，希律暗中召见那几位智者，仔细查问那星出现的准确时间，BSBBSB: Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had appeared.
8. 8CMNCBS然后派他们去伯利恒，并吩咐道：“你们去仔细寻访那个小孩，找到了，就回来报信，我也好去朝拜祂。”BSBBSB: And sending them to Bethlehem, he said: “Go and search carefully for the Child, and when you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship Him.”
9. 9CMNCBS他们听了王的吩咐，就去了。忽然，那颗曾在东方出现的星在前引领他们，一直来到小孩所在的地方，然后停在上空。BSBBSB: After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stood over the place where the Child was.
10. 10CMNCBS他们看见那颗星，喜出望外。BSBBSB: When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.
11. 11CMNCBS他们进了屋子，看见孩子和祂母亲玛丽亚，就俯伏在地上拜祂，并打开盛宝物的盒子献上黄金、乳香和没药作礼物。BSBBSB: On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12. 12CMNCBS他们在梦中得到指示，不可回希律那里，便改道返回了家乡。BSBBSB: And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.
13. 13CMNCBS他们离开之后，主的天使在梦中向约瑟显现，说：“起来，带着小孩子和祂母亲逃往埃及，住在那里等候我的通知，因为希律要寻找这孩子，杀害祂。”BSBBSB: When the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”
14. 14CMNCBS于是，约瑟起来带着孩子和祂母亲连夜逃往埃及，BSBBSB: So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
15. 15CMNCBS并在那里一直住到希律死了。这就应验了主借着先知所说的话：“我把儿子从埃及召出来。”BSBBSB: where he stayed until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
16. 16CMNCBS希律见自己被智者愚弄，大为恼怒，便照着智者所说的时间推算，下令把伯利恒及附近两岁以下的男孩杀光。BSBBSB: When Herod saw that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was filled with rage. Sending orders, he put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, according to the time he had learned from the Magi.
17. 17CMNCBS这正应验了耶利米先知的话：BSBBSB: Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18. 18CMNCBS“在拉玛有痛哭哀号的声音， 是拉结在为儿女哀痛， 不肯接受安慰， 因为他们都死了！”BSBBSB: “A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
19. 19CMNCBS希律死后，主的天使在梦中向在埃及的约瑟显现，说：BSBBSB: After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.
20. 20CMNCBS“起来，带着孩子和祂母亲回以色列去吧！因为要杀害孩子的人已经死了。”BSBBSB: “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, for those seeking the Child’s life are now dead.”
21. 21CMNCBS约瑟就起来，带着孩子和祂母亲返回以色列。BSBBSB: So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22. 22CMNCBS但约瑟听说亚基劳继承他父亲希律的王位统治犹太，就不敢回那里。这时，他在梦中得到主的指示，便前往加利利地区，BSBBSB: But when he learned that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee,
23. 23CMNCBS定居在拿撒勒镇。这应验了先知的话：“祂将被称为拿撒勒人。”BSBBSB: and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
