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,
Jesus El tuh isusla in acn Bethlehem in Judea, ke pacl se ma Herod el tokosra. Tia paht tukun ma inge, kutu mwet ma yohk etu la ke itu uh elos tuku Kutulap me nu Jerusalem,
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.”
ac siyuk, “Pia tulik fusr se ma isusla tuh in tokosra lun mwet Jew uh? Kut tuh liye itu lal ke sikyak in acn kutulap, ac kut tuku in alu nu sel.”
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Ke Tokosra Herod el lohng ma inge, nunak lal arulana toasrla kac, ac mwet nukewa in acn Jerusalem elos welul pac toasrla.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
El solani mwet tol fulat nukewa ac mwet luti ke Ma Sap uh ac siyuk selos, “Pia acn Messiah el ac isusla we?”
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Ac elos topuk, “In siti Bethlehem in acn Judea, tuh pa inge ma simla sin mwet palu:
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.’”
‘Bethlehem, in acn Judah, Kom tia srik inmasrlon siti srisrik lun Judah; Tuh sie mwet kol ac fah tuku liki kom Su ac fah kol mwet luk, Israel.’”
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Ke ma inge Herod el pangnolos su tuku Kutulap me nu ke sie osun lukma, ac siyuk selos ke pacl na pwaye ma itu sac sikyak ah.
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.”
Na el supwalosla nu Bethlehem, ac fahk ouinge nu selos, “Komtal som, suk tulik sacn aklohye; ac komtal fin konalak, akkalemye nu sik tuh ngan ku in som ac wi pac alu nu sel.”
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.
Ke elos lohng tari kas lal tokosra, na elos som, ac itu se na ma elos tuh liye Kutulap ah sifil sikyak ac fahsr meet lukelos nwe ke na el tui fin acn se ma tulik sac oan we ah.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Ke elos liye itu sac, elos arulana sessesla ke engan.
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.
Elos ilyak nu in lohm uh, ac ke elos liye tulik sac yorol Mary, nina kial, elos sikukmutuntei ac alu nu sel. Elos srukak mwe sang saok lalos ke gold, franku, ac myrrh, ac sang nu sel.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Na elos folokla nu yen selos ke soko na inkanek, mweyen God El sensenkakunulos in sie mweme elos in tia folokla nu yorol Herod.
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.”
Tukun elos som, sie lipufan lun Leum sikyang nu sel Joseph ac fahk, “Herod el ac suk tulik sacn elan unilya. Ke ma inge, tukakek, eis tulik sacn wi nina kial, ac kaingla nu Egypt, ac muta we nwe ke na nga fahk kom in som.”
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Na Joseph el tukakek, eis tulik sac wi nina kial ac som nu Egypt in fong sac,
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.”
ac elos muta we nwe ke na Herod el misa. Ma inge orek in akpwayeye ma Leum el tuh fahk sin mwet palu me, “Nga pangonma Wen nutik Egypt me.”
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.
Ke Herod el akilenak lah mwet tuku Kutulap me elos kiapella, el arulana foloyak. El sapkin in anwukla tulik mukul srisrik nukewa su matwa oasr ke yac luo nu ten in Bethlehem ac acn ma oan apkuran nu we. El oru ma inge in fal nu ke ma el lohng sin mwet ma tuh tuku nu yorol ke sikyak lun itu sac.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Ouinge, kas lun mwet palu Jeremiah akpwayeiyuk, su fahk:
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.”
“Sie pusra lohngyuk in acn Ramah, Pusren tung na mwemelil. Rachel el tungi tulik natul; El tia lungse in akwoyeyuk el, Mweyen tulik inge elos misa.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Tukun Herod el misa, sie lipufan lun Leum sikyang nu sel Joseph in sie mweme in acn Egypt,
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.”
ac fahk, “Tukakek, eis tulik sacn ac nina kial ac folokla nu in acn Israel, mweyen elos su suk in unilya elos misa.”
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Ouinge Joseph el tukakek, eis tulik sac ac nina kial, ac folokla nu Israel.
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,
Ac ke Joseph el lohngak lah Archelaus el aolla Herod, papa tumal, in tokosra lun Judea, el sangeng in som nu we. Na sifilpa fwackyang nu sel in sie mweme ma elan oru. Ouinge el somla nu in acn Galilee,
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.
ac muta in sie siti srisrik pangpang Nazareth. Ke ma inge akpwayeiyuk kas ma mwet palu elos simusla, su fahk, “El ac fah pangpang sie mwet Nazareth.”
