Matthew 2:1-12 The Visit of the Wise Men 1Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men1 from the east came to Jerusalem, 2saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose2 and have come to worship him.” 3When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. 5They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: 6“‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” 7Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. 8And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” 9After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 12And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.

Briathar Dé Nuair a bhí Íosa saolaithe i mBeithil Iúdáia in aimsir Héaróid rí, tháinig saoithe ón aird thoir go dtí Iarúsailéim ag fiafraí: "Cá bhfuil an leanbh seo atá saolaithe, Rí na nGiúdach? Mar chonaiceamar a réalta ag éirí, agus thángamar ag déanamh ómóis dó." Nuair a chuala Héaród rí an méíd sin, bhí sé corraithe, agus Iarúsailéim go léir mar an gcéanna. Thionóil sé le chéile uachtaráin na sagart agus scríobhaithe an phobail, agus d'fhiafraigh díobh cén áit a raibh an Críost le saolú. D'inis siad dó: "I mBeithil Iúdáia: óir sin é atá sa scríbhinn ón bhfáidh: 'Thusa, a Bheithil, i dtalamh Iúdá, níl tú baol ar an té is lú i measc prionsaí Iúdá, óir is asat a thiocfaidh ceann urra a bheidh ina aoire ar mo phobalsa, Iosrael.'" Ansin chuir Héaród fios ar na saoithe os íseal agus fuair tuairisc uathu ar an am a bhfacthas an réalta. Chuir sé go Beithil iad ansin agus dúirt: "Imígí agus cuirigí fiafraí ghéar ar an leanbh. Nuair a bhíonn sé faighte agaibh, cuirigí scéala chugam chun go rachainn féin ann ag déanamh ómóis dó." Nuair a chuala siad caint an rí, d'imigh siad leo. Agus an réalta, a bhí feicthe acu roimhe sin ag éirí, ghluais sí rompu go dtí gur stad sí os cionn na háite ina raibh an leanbh. Nuair a chonaic siad an réalta, bhí áthas an-mhór orthu. Agus ar dhul isteach sa teach dóibh, chonaic siad an leanbh le Muire a mháthair, agus d'umhlaigh siad go talamh ag déanamh ómóis dó. Agus d'oscail siad a gcistí agus d'ofráil siad tabhartais dó, ór agus túis agus miorra. Agus ó fuair siad foilsiú i mbrionglóid gan dul ar ais go dtí Héaród, ghabh siad bóthar eile abhaile chun a dtíre féin. Smaointí ar Scrioptúir an lae - Ba bhreá liom an nós Bavárach na litreacha G B M (Gaspár, Meilciár, Baltasár) a scríobh le cailc ar bhalla gach seomra sa teach maidin na hEipeafáine. Is iad seo ainmneacha na Ríthe, de réir an tseanchais, a sheasann mar ionadaithe do náisiúin uile an domhain. Is mó is fíor é anois go bhfuil náisiúin an domhain ag bogadh chun na tíre seo, isteach i mo áit chónaithe féin. An bhfaigheann siad tusa, a Thiarna, ansin? Má tá an chóir agus an grá le fáil i mo áit chónaithe, beidh tocht ar chroíthe cuairteoirí, amhail na Mágaí, le teann lúcháire, agus déanfaidh siad ómós duit.
