< 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,
Jisasi'ma Betlehemi Judia kaziga mopare, Heroti'ma kini mani'nea knafi fore'ma hige'za, zage hanatitegati antahi'zane vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi ehanati'za, anage hu'naze,
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.”
Jiu vahe'motma Kinima manisia nera inantega kasente'ne? Na'ankure tagra Agri ofuna zage hanati kazigati keteta, mono hunteku e'none.
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Ama ana nanekema Heroti'ma kini ne'mo nentahino'a, agu'agesamo kore nehuno tarerare nehigeno, Jerusalemi kumate vahe'mo'zanena agrama hiaza hu'naze.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Heroti'ma pristi vahe'zagane, kasegere'ma ugagota hu'naza vahe'ma magopi zamazeri atru huteno'a, inantega Mesaia'a fore hugahie? huno zamantahige'ne.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Hige'za zamagra, agri husmi'za, Judia kaziga Betlehe kumate kasentegahie, na'ankure korapa Anumzamofo kasnampa (profet) ke huama hu'nea ne'mo avon tafepi amanage huno krente'ne,
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.’”
Hagi kagra, Betlehemia, Juda vahe mopafina, kagra Juda vahe'mokizmi ranra kumapintira osasi kumatfana omani'nane, na'ankure kagripinti magora ra nera Israeli vahe ni'ama kegavama hania nera fore hugahie. (Mai 5:2.)
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Hagi Heroti'a frakino oku'a antahi'zane vahera zamagenoka huno, Nankna ana ofumo'a fore hu'ne huno zamantahige'ne.
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.”
Heroti'a Betlehemu viho huno hunezmanteno, anage huno zamasmi'ne, Vutma ana Mofavrea ome haketa ketetma, Agri'ma kefore'ma hanutma eme nasminke'na, nagranena anazanke hu'na monora ome hunta'neno.
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.
Ana nanekema kini ne'mo'ma hige'za antahite'za, nevu'za ko'ma zage hanati kaziga mani'neza ke'naza ofumo kagota huzmanteno nevige'za keme nevazageno ana Mofavre mani'nea nomofo agofetu eme otige'za ke'naze.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Ana ofuma negageno'a tusi'a muse zamo zamagu'afina avite'ne.
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.
Ana nompi emareri'za ana Mofavrene nerera Mariane nege'za, zamugosa regati kepri hu'za mono hunte'naze. Eri'zama vu'naza feno'zana anagi'za, musezama ami'nazana, golima, mananentake paurane (frankincense), mere'ne (myrrh) ami'naze.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Anumzamo'ma ava'nafi zamasmino Herotintera oviho huno'ma hu'nea kea nentahiza, antahi'zane vahe'mo'za oti'za rugantegati mopa zamirega vu'naze.
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.”
Antahi'zane vahe'ma vutageno'a, Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo Josefena ava'nafi efore huno asmi'ne, Otio! Mofavrene, nerera'nena znavrenka Isipi frenka vuo, anantega umani'nege'na Nagrama kasmisugenka eno, na'ankure Heroti'a ana Mofavre hakreno ahe friku nehie huno asami'ne.
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Anage higeno Josefe'a otino ana Mofavrene, nererane ana kenage agu'afi zanavreno Isipi vu'ne.
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.”
Anantega Isip vuno umani'negeno Heroti'a fri'ne. Ana'ma hu'neana Anumzamo kasnampa ne'mofo asmigeno korapa kre'nea kemofo nena'a efore hu'ne, Isipitira Nagra Ne'mofavre'ni'a agi hugeno e'ne. (Hos 11:1.)
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.
Anante Heroti'ma keama, antahi'zane vahe'mo'za revatgama hazageno'a, agra tusi'a rimpa he'ne. Agra vahe huzmanteno, Betlehemi kumapinti ene, ana tva'onte me'nea kumapinti, zagegafu'zmimo tare zagekafureti urami'nea mofavre'zaga ome zamahe friho huno antahi'zane vahe'mo'za ofugu'ma asami'za, e'inahu'zana fore hugahie hazageno antahi'nea knagu anage hunora zamasami'ne.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Anante korapa mago kasnampa ne' Jeremaia Anumzamo asmigeno hu'nea kemofo nena'a fore hu'ne,
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.”
Mago ageru Rama kumateti antahi'naze, zavi neteno tusi'a asuza eri'ne, Reseli'a mofavre rmima'agu zavi ate'ne, higeno agri'ma azeri tagane'zankura ave'osi'ne, na'ankure magore huno omani tfa higeno'e. (Jere 31:15.)
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Heroti'ma fritegeno, mago Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo Josefena ava'nafi eno Isipi eme asmi'ne,
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.”
Otinka, Mofavrene nererane zanavarenka Israeli mopare vuo, na'ankure ahe'naku hakre'naza vahera hago fri'naze.
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Anage higeno Josefe'a otino ana Mofavrene, nererane zanavreno ete Israeli mopare e'ne.
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,
Hianagi Heroti nemofo Akelasi, nefa no erino Judia kaziga kegava hie kema nentahino'a, ana kaziga vuzanku koro hu'ne. Anumzamo ava'nafima asmi'nea kante anteno, agra (Josefe) atreno Galili kaziga vu'ne.
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.
Agra zanavreno viazamo, Nasareti kumate umani'naze. Anama hu'neana korapa kasnampa vahe'mo'za hunte'naza kemo nena'a efore hiankino Jisasinkura Nazareti Nere hu'za agia hegahaze.
