< Mateo 2 >

1 Iayo cenean bada Iesus Bethlehem Iudeacoan regue Herodesen demborán, huná, Çuhurrac Orientetic ethor citecen Ierusalemera,
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, look, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 Cioitela, Non da Iuduén regue iayo dena? ecen ikussi dugu haren içarra Orientean, eta ethorri gara hura adora deçagunçat.
"Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him."
3 Bada regue Herodes ençunic hori trubla cedin, eta Ierusaleme gucia harequin.
And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Eta bilduric Sacrificadore principal guciac eta populuaren Scribác, informa cedin hetaric non Christ sortzeco cen.
And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 Eta hec erran cieçoten, Bethlehem Iudeacoan, ecen hunela scribatua duc Prophetáz,
And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written through the prophet,
6 Eta hi Bethlehem Iudaco lurrá, ezaiz Iudaco gobernadorén arteco chipiena, ecen hireganic ilkiren duc, Israel ene populua bazcaturen duen gobernadorea.
'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come forth a ruler who will shepherd my people, Israel.'"
7 Orduan Herodes secretuqui Çuhurrac deithuric informa cedin hetaric diligentqui, içarra aguertu içan çayen demboráz:
Then Herod secretly called the Magi, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 Eta hec Bethlehemerat igorriric, erran cieçén, Ioanic informa çaitezte diligentqui haourtchoaz: eta eriden duqueçuenean, iaquin eraci ieçadacue, nic-ere ethorriric adora deçadan hura.
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."
9 Hec bada reguea ençunic parti citecen: eta huná, Orientean ikussi vkan çuten içarra hayén aitzinean ioaiten cen, haourtchoa cen lekuaren gainera ethorriric gueldi cedino.
And they, having heard the king, went their way; and look, the star which they saw in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 Eta içarra ikussiric bozcario handiz boz citecen haguitz.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 Eta etchera sarthuric eriden ceçaten haourtchoa bere ama Mariarequin: eta ahozpez adora ceçaten hura, eta bere thesaurac desplegaturic presenta cietzoten estrenác, vrrhe, encensu, eta myrrha.
And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Eta diuinoqui ametsetan aduertitu içanic ezlitecen Herodesgana itzul, berce bidez retira citecen bere comarcarát.
Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 Bada hec retiratu eta, huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä aguertzen çayó Iosephi, dioela, Iaiquiric har itzac haourtchoa eta haren ama, eta ihes eguic Egyptera: eta aicén han nic darraqueadano: ecen Herodesec bilhaturen dic haourtchoa hiltzeco.
Now when they had departed, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
14 Iosephec bada iratzarri eta, har citzan haourtchoa eta haren ama gauaz, eta retira cedin Egyptera.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 Eta egon cedin han Herodesen finerano, Iaunac Prophetáz erran çuena compli ledinçát, cioela Egyptetic deithu vkan dut neure Semea.
and was there until the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called my son."
16 Orduan Herodesec ikussiric nola Çuhurréz enganatu içan cen, asserre cedin haguitz: eta bere gendea igorriric hil citzan Bethlehemen eta haren aldiri gucietan ciraden haour bi vrthetaco eta behereco guciac, Çuhurretaric diligentqui informatu içan cen demboraren araura.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the Magi, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the Magi.
17 Orduan compli cedin Iaunac Hieremias Prophetáz erran vkan çuena, cioela,
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 Voza Rhaman ençun içan da, deithore eta nigar eta auhen handi. Rachel bere haourracgatic nigarrez egon, eta ezta consolatu nahi içan, ceren eztiraden.
"A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are no more."
19 Baina Herodes hil eta, huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä aguer cequión ametsetan Iosephi Egypten,
But when Herod was dead, look, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 Cioela, iaiquiric har itzac haourtchoa eta haren ama eta ioan adi Israeleco lurrerát, ecen haourtchoaren arimaren ondoan çabiltzanac hil içan dituc.
"Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child's life are dead."
21 Harc bada iratzarri eta, har citzan haourtchoa eta haren ama, eta ethor cedin Israeleco lurrera.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 Baina ençunic ecen Archelausec regnatzen çuela Iudean bere aita Herodesen lekuan, beldur cedin hara ioaitera: eta ametsetan diuinoqui aduertituric retira cedin Galileaco bazterretarát.
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
23 Eta hara ethorriric habita cedin Nazareth deitzen den hirian: Prophetéz erran içan cena compli ledinçat, ecen Nazareno deithuren cela.
and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he will be called a Nazorean.
