Da Herodes nun sah, daß er von den Weisen betrogen war, ward er sehr zornig und schickte aus und ließ alle Kinder zu Bethlehem töten und an seinen ganzen Grenzen, die da zweijährig und darunter waren, nach der Zeit, die er mit Fleiß von den Weisen erlernt hatte.
Herodes entonces, como se vio burlado de los magos, se enojó mucho, y envió, y mató a todos los niños que había en Bethlehem y en todos sus términos, de edad de dos años abajo, conforme al tiempo que había entendido de los magos.
Entonces Herodes, al verse burlado por los magos, se enfureció mucho. Mandó matar a todos los niños de Belén y de todos sus alrededores, de dos años para abajo, conforme al tiempo que había averiguado por los magos.
Alors Hérode, voyant qu'il avait été joué par les mages, se mit dans une grande colère, et il envoya tuer tous les enfants de deux ans et au-dessous qui étaient à Bethléhem et dans tout son territoire, selon la date dont il s'était soigneusement enquis auprès des mages.
Allora Erode, veggendosi beffato dai magi, si adirò gravemente, e mandò a fare uccidere tutti i fanciulli che erano in Betleem, ed in tutti i suoi confini, d’età da due anni in giù, secondo il tempo, del quale egli si era diligentemente informato da’ magi.
Então Herodes, vendo que tinha sido iludido pelos magos, irritou-se muito, e mandou matar todos os meninos que havia em Belém, e em todos os seus contornos, de dois anos para baixo, segundo o tempo que diligentemente inquirira dos magos.
