Peshitta 2

1E, tendo nascido Jesus em Belém de Judeia, no tempo do rei Herodes, eis que uns magos vieram do oriente a Jerusalém,

1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

2Dizendo: Onde está aquele que é nascido rei dos judeus? porque vimos a sua estrela no oriente, e viemos a adorá-lo.

2Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

3E o rei Herodes, ouvindo isto, perturbou-se, e toda Jerusalém com ele.

3When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4E, congregados todos os príncipes dos sacerdotes, e os escribas do povo, perguntou-lhes onde havia de nascer o Messias.

4And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

5E eles lhe disseram: Em Belém de Judeia; porque assim está escrito pelo profeta:

5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

6E tu, Belém, terra de Judá, De modo nenhum és a menor entre as capitais de Judá; Porque de ti sairá o Guia que há de apascentar o meu povo Israel.

6And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

7Então Herodes, chamando secretamente os magos, inquiriu exatamente deles acerca do tempo em que a estrela lhes aparecera.

7Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

8E, enviando-os a Belém, disse: Ide, e perguntai diligentemente pelo menino e, quando o achardes, participai-mo, para que também eu vá e o adore.

8And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

9E, tendo eles ouvido o rei, partiram; e eis que a estrela, que tinham visto no oriente, ia adiante deles, até que, chegando, se deteve sobre o lugar onde estava o menino.

9When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

10E, vendo eles a estrela, regozijaram-se muito com grande alegria.

10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
