| 1 | Now Yahshua being born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herodas the king, behold! Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, |
| 2 | saying "Where is He having been born King of the Judaeans? For we have seen His star in the east and we have come to worship Him!" |
| 3 | And hearing it King Herodas was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him, |
| 4 | and upon gathering all the high priests and scribes of the people he inquired from them: "Where is the Christ born?" |
| 5 | And they said to him: "In Bethlehem of Judaea." For thusly it was written by the prophet: |
| 6 | "And you Bethlehem, land of Iouda, by no means are you least among the leaders of Iouda, for there shall come out of you a leader, who shall shepherd My people Israel." |
| 7 | Then Herodas calling the magi secretly, exacted precisely from them the time of the appearance of the star, |
| 8 | and sending them to Bethlehem said: "Going, you inquire precisely concerning the child, and when you find Him, you report to me, that I also coming may worship Him." |
| 9 | And hearing the king they went, and behold! The star which they saw in the east went before them, until coming it stood above where the child was. |
| 10 | And seeing the star they rejoiced with an exceedingly great joy. |
| 11 | And coming into the house they saw the child with Maria His mother, and falling they worshipped Him and opening their chests presented gifts to Him, gold and frankincense and myrrh. |
| 12 | And having been warned by a dream not to go back to Herodas, they withdrew by another way into their country. |
| 13 | And upon their withdrawing, behold! A messenger of Yahweh appeared in a dream to Ioseph, saying: "Arising, take the child and His mother and flee into Egypt, and you must be there until when I should speak to you. For Herodas is about to seek the child and to destroy it!" |
| 14 | And arising he took the child and His mother at night and withdrew into Egypt, |
| 15 | and was there until the death of Herodas, in order that that which had been spoken by Yahweh through the prophet should be fulfilled, saying: "Out of Egypt I have called My Son." |
| 16 | Then Herodas, seeing that he had been mocked by the magi, had been exceedingly angered, and sending he slew all the children who were in Bethlehem and in all of its borders from two years and below, according to the time which he exacted from the magi. |
| 17 | Then that which had been spoken through Ieremios the prophet had been fulfilled, saying: |
| 18 | "A voice was heard in Rama, much weeping and wailing; Rachel crying for her children. And she did not desire to be comforted, for they are not!" |
| 19 | Then upon the dying of Herodas, behold! A messenger of Yahweh appears in a dream to Ioseph in Egypt, |
| 20 | saying "Arising take the child and His mother and go into the land of Israel. For those seeking the life of the child have died!" |
| 21 | And arising he took the child and His mother and entered into the land of Israel. |
| 22 | And hearing that Archelaos reigns over Judaea in place of his father Herodas, he feared to depart for there. But being warned in a dream he withdrew into the parts of Galilaia, |
| 23 | and coming he settled in a city called Nazaret, that that which had been spoken by the prophets would be fulfilled, that He shall be called a Nazoraian. |
