Mateo 2
1 Iayo cenean bada Iesus Bethlehem Iudeacoan regue Herodesen demborán, huná, Çuhurrac Orientetic ethor citecen Ierusalemera,
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,
2 Cioitela, Non da Iuduén regue iayo dena? ecen ikussi dugu haren içarra Orientean, eta ethorri gara hura adora deçagunçat.
asking, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? 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.
When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Eta bilduric Sacrificadore principal guciac eta populuaren Scribác, informa cedin hetaric non Christ sortzeco cen.
And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.
5 Eta hec erran cieçoten, Bethlehem Iudeacoan, ecen hunela scribatua duc Prophetáz,
“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6 Eta hi Bethlehem Iudaco lurrá, ezaiz Iudaco gobernadorén arteco chipiena, ecen hireganic ilkiren duc, Israel ene populua bazcaturen duen gobernadorea.
‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of My people Israel.’”
7 Orduan Herodes secretuqui Çuhurrac deithuric informa cedin hetaric diligentqui, içarra aguertu içan çayen demboráz:
Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had 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 sending them to Bethlehem, he said: “Go and search carefully for the Child, and when you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go 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.
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stood over the place where the Child was.
10 Eta içarra ikussiric bozcario handiz boz citecen haguitz.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.
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.
On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 Eta diuinoqui ametsetan aduertitu içanic ezlitecen Herodesgana itzul, berce bidez retira citecen bere comarcarát.
And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.
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.
When the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”
14 Iosephec bada iratzarri eta, har citzan haourtchoa eta haren ama gauaz, eta retira cedin Egyptera.
So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
15 Eta egon cedin han Herodesen finerano, Iaunac Prophetáz erran çuena compli ledinçát, cioela Egyptetic deithu vkan dut neure Semea.
where he stayed until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “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.
When Herod saw that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was filled with rage. Sending orders, he put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, according to the time he had learned from the Magi.
17 Orduan compli cedin Iaunac Hieremias Prophetáz erran vkan çuena, cioela,
Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
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 is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
19 Baina Herodes hil eta, huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä aguer cequión ametsetan Iosephi Egypten,
After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.
20 Cioela, iaiquiric har itzac haourtchoa eta haren ama eta ioan adi Israeleco lurrerát, ecen haourtchoaren arimaren ondoan çabiltzanac hil içan dituc.
“Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, for those seeking the Child’s life are now dead.”
21 Harc bada iratzarri eta, har citzan haourtchoa eta haren ama, eta ethor cedin Israeleco lurrera.
So Joseph got up, took the 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 learned that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee,
23 Eta hara ethorriric habita cedin Nazareth deitzen den hirian: Prophetéz erran içan cena compli ledinçat, ecen Nazareno deithuren cela.
and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
