2 ULB "Onde está aquele que nasceu, o Rei dos Judeus? Nós vimos a sua estrela no Oriente e viemos adorá-Lo." BSB BSB: 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 ULB Quando o rei Herodes ouviu isso, ficou perturbado, e com ele toda a Jerusalém. BSB BSB: When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 ULB Herodes reuniu todos os chefes dos sacerdotes e os mestres do povo, e perguntou: "Onde o Cristo vai nascer?" BSB BSB: 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 ULB Eles disseram: "Em Belém da Judeia, porque está escrito pelo profeta: BSB BSB: “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6 ULB 'E tu, Belém, na terra de Judá, não és a menor dentre as principais cidades de Judá, porque de ti virá um líder que irá pastorear o Meu povo de Israel'". BSB BSB: ‘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 ULB Então Herodes chamou secretamente os sábios para perguntar-lhes exatamente quando a estrela tinha aparecido. BSB BSB: Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had appeared.
8 ULB Ele os enviou a Belém, dizendo: "Ide e procurai pelo menino com cuidado. Quando o achardes, avisai-me, para que eu possa ir e adorá-Lo". BSB BSB: 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 ULB Depois de terem ouvido o rei, partiram, e a estrela que eles tinham visto no Oriente foi adiante deles até que parou acima do lugar onde o menino estava. BSB BSB: 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 ULB Quando eles viram a estrela, regozijaram-se com grande alegria. BSB BSB: When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.
11 ULB Eles entraram na casa, viram o menino com Maria, Sua mãe, curvaram-se e O adoraram. Eles abriram seus tesouros e ofereceram-Lhe presentes: ouro, incenso e mirra. BSB BSB: 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 ULB Deus os alertou em sonho que não retornassem a Herodes, e eles partiram para o seu próprio país por outro caminho. BSB BSB: And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.
13 ULB Depois de partirem, um anjo do Senhor apareceu a José em sonho e disse: "Levante-te, pega o menino e sua mãe, e foge para o Egito. Permanece lá até que eu te diga, porque Herodes procurará o menino para destruí-Lo". BSB BSB: 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 ULB Naquela noite, José levantou-se, pegou o menino com Sua mãe e partiu para o Egito. BSB BSB: So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
16 ULB Então Herodes, quando viu que tinha sido enganado pelos sábios, ficou furioso. Ele mandou matar todos os meninos de dois anos ou menos que estavam em Belém e em toda aquela região, de acordo com o tempo indicado com precisão pelos sábios. BSB BSB: 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 ULB Então cumpriu-se o que havia sido falado pelo profeta Jeremias: BSB BSB: Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18 ULB "Uma voz de lamento e de grande gemido foi ouvida em Ramá, era Raquel lamentando por seus filhos, e ela recusou-se a ser confortada porque eles não mais existiam". BSB BSB: “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.”
20 ULB "Levanta-te e pega o menino e Sua mãe e vai para a terra de Israel, porque aqueles que tentaram tirar a vida do menino estão mortos". BSB BSB: “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 ULB José levantou-se, pegou o menino e Sua mãe, e foi para a terra de Israel. BSB BSB: So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 ULB Entretanto, quando ele ouviu que Arquelau estava reinando sobre a Judéia, no lugar de seu pai Herodes, ficou com medo de ir para lá. Depois que Deus o avisou em um sonho, ele saiu para a região da Galiléia, BSB BSB: 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,
