Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
Jezi te fèt lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jide, sou tan wa Ewòd. Apre li te fèt, kèk nèg save ki konn etidye zetwal yo soti nan peyi solèy leve, yo rive lavil Jerizalèm.
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
Yo t'ap mande: Kote wa jwif ki fenk fèt la? Nou wè zetwal li parèt depi nan peyi nou an, nou vin adore li.
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Lè wa Ewòd pran nouvèl la, sa te boulvèse tèt li. Sa te boulvèse tout moun lavil Jerizalèm yo tou.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Ewòd reyini tout chèf prèt yo ansanm ak direktè lalwa yo ki t'ap dirije pèp jwif la. Li mande yo: Ki kote Kris la gen pou l' fèt?
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Yo reponn li: Se lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jide li gen pou l' fèt. Paske, men sa pwofèt la te ekri:
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
Ou menm, Betleyèm, ki bati sou tè Jida a, pawòl sèten: se pa ou ki pi piti nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo. Paske, gen yon chèf ki gen pou soti lakay ou. Se li menm ki va kondi moun Izrayèl yo, pèp mwen an.
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Se konsa, Ewòd fè nèg save yo vin jwenn li an kachèt. Li mande yo kilè egzakteman zetwal la te parèt.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
Apre sa, li voye yo ale Betleyèm. Li di yo: Ale non! Chache konnen tout bagay sou ti pitit la. Lè n'a jwenn li, fè m' konnen pou m' sa kapab al adore l', mwen menm tou.
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
Apre wa a te fin di yo sa, nèg save yo pati. Lè sa a, zetwal yo te wè nan peyi solèy leve a parèt devan yo ankò. Li t'ap mache devan yo. Zetwal la kontinye konsa jouk li rive sou tèt kay kote ti pitit la te ye a. Epi l' rete.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Lè yo te wè zetwal la, yo pa t' manke kontan.
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Yo antre nan kay la, yo wè ti pitit la ansanm ak Mari, manman li. Yo mete ajenou devan l', yo adore l'. Apre sa, yo louvri sak yo, yo ba li anpil kado: te gen lò, lansan ak lami.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Apre sa, Bondye pale ak nèg save yo nan dòmi, li avèti yo pou yo pa tounen bò kote Ewòd ankò. Se konsa mesye yo fè yon lòt wout pou yo tounen al nan peyi yo.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, 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.”
Lè nèg save yo fin ale, yon zanj Bondye parèt devan Jozèf nan dòmi. Zanj lan di l' konsa: Leve non, pran ti pitit la ansanm ak manman l'. Sove ale nan peyi Lejip. Wa rete la jouk lè m'a di ou pou ou tounen. Paske, Ewòd pral chache touye ti pitit la.
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Jozèf leve nan mitan lannwit lan, li pran ti pitit la ansanm ak manman l'. Li pati, li ale nan peyi Lejip.
15 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.”
Jozèf rete la jouk lè Ewòd mouri. Se konsa, pawòl Bondye te mete nan bouch pwofèt la te rive vre. Li te di: Mwen rele pitit mwen, mwen fè l' soti kite peyi Lejip.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, 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 wise men.
Lè Ewòd wè nèg save yo te pase l' nan jwèt, li fè yon gwo kòlè. Li bay lòd touye tout ti pitit gason ki te nan lavil Betleyèm ak nan tout vwazinaj la, depi sa ki te fèk fèt jouk sa ki te gen dezan, dapre dat nèg save yo te ba li a.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Se konsa, pawòl pwofèt Jeremi te di a rive vre:
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
Yo tande yon rèl nan lavil Rama. Yo tande kriye ak gwo anmwe. Se Rachèl k'ap kriye pou pitit li yo. Li pa vle pesonn ba li kouraj, paske pitit li yo mouri.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Apre Ewòd mouri, yon zanj Bondye parèt devan Jozèf nan dòmi, antan l' nan peyi Lejip la.
20 “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.”
Zanj lan di l': Leve non, pran ti pitit la ansanm ak manman l', tounen nan peyi Izrayèl la. Paske, moun ki te vle touye ti pitit la, yo mouri.
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Lamenm Jozèf leve, li pran ti pitit la ansanm ak manman l', li tounen nan peyi Izrayèl la.
22 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,
Men, lè Jozèf vin konnen se Akelayis ki t'ap gouvènen peyi Jide a nan plas Ewòd, papa l', Jozèf te pè ale la. Bondye pale avè l' ankò nan dòmi. Lè sa a, li pati, li ale nan peyi Galile.
23 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 Nazarene.
Li vin rete nan yon vil yo rele Nazarèt. Se konsa, pawòl pwofèt yo te di a rive vre: y'a rele l' moun Nazarèt.
