OET (OET-LV) And the king Haʸrōdaʸs having_heard was_disturbed, and all Hierousalaʸm with him.

OET (OET-RV) Now when King Herod heard this, he was upset—and all of Yerushalem as well.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–12: Wise men came and honored Jesus

In this section, Matthew showed his readers that:

  1. Jesus was indeed born in Bethlehem as scripture predicted (even though he would later move to Nazareth, and people considered him to be a Nazarene).

  2. The Jewish religious teachers who knew the law did not go to worship the king of the Jews. It was the Gentile wise men who worshiped him.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Visit of the Wise Men (NET)

Visitors from the East (GNT)

2:3a

When King Herod heard this,

When King Herod heard this: The word this refers to the words of the wise men (2:2). Someone told their words to Herod.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

When King Herod heard that report/news

When King Herod heard a report of those words

Someone told King Herod what they said

2:3b

he was disturbed,

he was disturbed: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as was disturbed refers to being upset emotionally and mentally. Herod was probably disturbed by the news that another king was born. It was someone who might take his place.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

he was very upset (GNT)

he was alarmed (NET)

he was troubled (ESV)

2:3c

and all Jerusalem with him.

and all Jerusalem with him: The Greek phrase that the BSB literally translates as and all Jerusalem with him is an exaggeration called a hyperbole. It means “many of the people of Jerusalem were also troubled along with him.” It does not refer to every man, woman, and child in Jerusalem.

The verb “was disturbed” from 2:3b is implied in this clause. In some languages, it may be more natural to repeat the verb here.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

all the other people living in Jerusalem

many of the people who lived in the town of Jerusalem were also troubled/disturbed

with him: The phrase with him refers to experiencing the same alarm as Herod. It does not mean that the people were gathered together in one place with Herod when they became upset. When the people heard the news of the wise men, they were also troubled.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

along with him

just as he was

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούσας Δέ ὁ βασιλεύς Ἡρῴδης ἐταράχθη καί πάσα Ἱεροσόλυμα μετʼ αὐτοῦ)

Here, the word But introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

πᾶσα Ἱεροσόλυμα μετ’ αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούσας Δέ ὁ βασιλεύς Ἡρῴδης ἐταράχθη καί πάσα Ἱεροσόλυμα μετʼ αὐτοῦ)

Matthew is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [all Jerusalem became troubled with him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πᾶσα Ἱεροσόλυμα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούσας Δέ ὁ βασιλεύς Ἡρῴδης ἐταράχθη καί πάσα Ἱεροσόλυμα μετʼ αὐτοῦ)

Here, Jerusalem refers to the people who live in Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [all the people in Jerusalem]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πᾶσα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀκούσας Δέ ὁ βασιλεύς Ἡρῴδης ἐταράχθη καί πάσα Ἱεροσόλυμα μετʼ αὐτοῦ)

Matthew says all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [most of] or [the majority of]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:3 Herod was deeply disturbed because he feared this child would rival him as king of the Jews.
