2.22 Timuit illo ire. Si timuit Judæam pro Archelao hærede paternæ crudelitatis, cur non et Galilæam, ubi Herodes alius frater ejus regnabat? Quia Archelaus post patrem monarchiam totius regni obtinuit: sed insolescens a Tiberio Cæsare dejectus est Lugdunum in exsilium, et tunc divisum est regnum in quatuor tetrarchias, quarum unam, id est Galilæam, Herodes frater ejus obtinuit. Quæritur: quare non timuit Joseph ire in Galilæam sicut in Judæam, cum et ibi regnaret Archelaus? Sed melius potuit in Nazareth (quæ remota erat) latere quam in Jerusalem, ubi erat caput regni et assiduus Archelaus. Secessit in partes. Quod Christus illuc non transfertur ubi regnabat Archelaus, significat, quia illis abscondetur Christus, in quibus regnabit Antichristus.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
ἀκούσας & ὅτι Ἀρχέλαος βασιλεύει τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἀντὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἡρῴδου, ἐφοβήθη
˓having˒_heard & that Archelaus ˓is˒_reigning ¬the ˱over˲_Judea instead_of the father ˱of˲_him Herod ˱he˲_˓was˒_afraid
It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: [having heard, ”Archelaus is reigning over Judea in the place of his father Herod,” he was afraid]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
χρηματισθεὶς
˓having_been˒_warned
Matthew implies that Joseph was warned against living in Judea. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [having been warned about living in Judea]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
χρηματισθεὶς
˓having_been˒_warned
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God, probably speaking through an angel. Alternate translation: [God having warned him] or [an angel of the Lord having warned him]
