  1  του   δε   ιησου   γεννηθεντος   εν   βηθλεεμ   της   ιουδαιας   εν   ημεραις

ηρωδου   του   βασιλεως   ιδου   μαγοι   απο   ανατολων   παρεγενοντο   εις  
of Herod   the   king,   behold,   magi   from [the]   east   arrived   at  
ιεροσολυμα    
Jerusalem,    
  2  λεγοντες   που   εστιν   ο   τεχθεις   βασιλευς   των   ιουδαιων   ειδομεν  
    saying,   Where   is   he who   has been born   King   of the   Jews?   for we saw  
γαρ   αυτου   τον   αστερα   εν   τη   ανατολη   και   ηλθομεν   προσκυνησαι   αυτω    
♦   his   ♦   star   in   the   east,   and   are come   to do homage   to him.    
  3  ακουσας   δε   ηρωδης   ο   βασιλευς   εταραχθη   και   πασα  
    Having 5 heard 6   but 1   Herod 2   the 3   king 4   he was troubled,   and   all  
ιεροσολυμα   μετ   αυτου    
Jerusalem   with   him.    
  4  και   συναγαγων   παντας   τους   αρχιερεις   και   γραμματεις   του  
    And   having gathered together   all   the   chief priests   and   scribes   of the  
λαου   επυνθανετο   παρ   αυτων   που   ο   χριστος   γενναται    
people,   he inquired   of   them   where   the   Christ   should be born.    
  5  οι   δε   ειπον   αυτω   εν   βηθλεεμ   της   ιουδαιας   ουτως   γαρ  
    And they   ♦   said   to him,   In   Bethlehem   ♦   of Judaea:   for thus   ♦  
γεγραπται   δια   του   προφητου    
it has been written   by   the   prophet,    
  6  και   συ   βηθλεεμ   γη   ιουδα   ουδαμως   ελαχιστη   ει   εν   τοις   ηγεμοσιν  
    And   thou,   Bethlehem,   land   of Juda,   in no wise   least   art   among   the   governors  
ιουδα   εκ   σου   γαρ   εξελευσεται   ηγουμενος   οστις   ποιμανει   τον  
of Juda,   out 2   of 3 thee 4   for 1   shall go forth   a leader,   who   shall shepherd   my people  
λαον   μου   τον   ισραηλ    
♦   ♦   ♦   Israel.    
  7  τοτε   ηρωδης   λαθρα   καλεσας   τους   μαγους   ηκριβωσεν   παρ   αυτων  
    Then   Herod,   secretly 2   having called 1   the   magi,   inquired accurately   of   them  
τον   χρονον   του   φαινομενου   αστερος    
the   time   of the   appearing 2   star. 1    
  8  και   πεμψας   αυτους   εις   βηθλεεμ   ειπεν   πορευθεντες   ακριβως  
    And   having sent   them   to   Bethlehem,   he said,   Having gone,   accurately  
εξετασατε   περι   του   παιδιου   επαν   δε   ευρητε   απαγγειλατε  
inquire   for   the   little child;   and when   ♦   ye shall have found [him]   bring word back  
μοι   οπως   καγω   ελθων   προσκυνησω   αυτω    
to me,   that   I also   having come   may do homage   to him.    
  9  οι   δε   ακουσαντες   του   βασιλεως   επορευθησαν   και   ιδου   ο   αστηρ  
    And they   ♦   having heard   the   king,   went away;   and   behold,   the   star,  
ον   ειδον   εν   τη   ανατολη   προηγεν   αυτους   εως   ελθων   εστη   επανω  
which   they saw   in   the   east,   went before   them,   until   having come   it stood   over  
ου   ην   το   παιδιον    
where   was   the   little child.    
  10  ιδοντες   δε   τον   αστερα   εχαρησαν   χαραν   μεγαλην   σφοδρα    
    And having seen   ♦   the   star,   they rejoiced [with]   joy   great 2   exceedingly. 1    
  11  και   ελθοντες   εις   την   οικιαν   ευρον   το   παιδιον   μετα   μαριας   της  
    And   having come   into   the   house,   they found   the   little child   with   Mary   his mother,  
μητρος   αυτου   και   πεσοντες   προσεκυνησαν   αυτω   και   ανοιξαντες  
♦   ♦   and   having fallen down   did homage   to him:   and   having opened  
τους   θησαυρους   αυτων   προσηνεγκαν   αυτω   δωρα   χρυσον   και   λιβανον  
♦   treasures 2   their 1   they offered   to him   gifts;   gold   and   frankincense  
και   σμυρναν    
and   myrrh.    
  12  και   χρηματισθεντες   κατ   οναρ   μη   ανακαμψαι   προς   ηρωδην   δι  
    And   having been divinely instructed   in   a dream   not   to return   to   Herod,   by  
αλλης   οδου   ανεχωρησαν   εις   την   χωραν   αυτων    
another   way   they withdrew   into   their own country.   ♦   ♦    
  13  αναχωρησαντων   δε   αυτων   ιδου   αγγελος   κυριου   φαινεται   κατ  
    Now 2 having 3 withdrawn   ♦   they, 1   behold,   an angel   of [the] Lord   appears   in

μητερα   αυτου   και   φευγε   εις   αιγυπτον   και   ισθι   εκει   εως   αν   ειπω   σοι  
♦   ♦   and   flee   into   Egypt,   and   be   there   until   I shall tell   ♦   thee;  
μελλει   γαρ   ηρωδης   ζητειν   το   παιδιον   του   απολεσαι   αυτο
