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,
Herod ce sangpahrang na a awm awh Judah qam Bethlehem awh Jesu taw thang hy, cawh Khawlaw ben nakaw thlakcyikhqi ce Jerusalem na law uhy,
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.”
Judah thlangkhqi a sangpahrang ak thang ce hana a awm? Anih a aihchi ce khawlaw benna ka mi huh a dawngawh, anih bawk aham ka mik law ni” tina uhy.
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Ce ak awi ce Herod sangpahrang ing ang zaak awh ak kawpoek kyi hy, Jerusalem awh amik awm thlangkhqi boeih awm amik kawpoek kyi hy.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw ca qeekungkhqi boeih ce khy khqi nawh Khrih a thangnaak kawi hyn ce sui sak khqi hy.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Cekkhqi ing a venawh, “Judah qam Bethlehem khaw awh thang kaw: kawtih tawngha ing vemyihna ana qee hyt hawh hy;
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.’”
Nang Bethlehem, Judah qam khuiawh Judah ukkungkhqi anglakawh ak zawi soeih na am awm hyk ti. Ikawtih nak khui awhkawng ukkung law kawmsaw, anih ing kak thlang Israelkhqi ce uk kaw, tinawh qee hy,” tina uhy.
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Cekcoengawh Herod ing thlakcyikhqi ce ang hyp na khy nawh aihchi dang pehy tice ak nep caana doet hy.
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.”
Cekcoengawh cekkhqi ce Bethlehem na tyi khqi hy; “Cet unawh naasen ce ak nep na sui law uh; nami huh awhtaw ning zaak law sak uh, kai ingawm cet nyng saw anih bawk lawt vang.” tina khi hy.
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.
Sangpahrang awi ce aming zaak coengawh cet uhy; cawh, khawlaw ben nakaw aihchi ce hu tlaih uhy, naasen a awmnaak hyn pha nawh ang dym hlan dy cekkhqi haiawh aihchi ce cet hy.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
A mingmih ing aihchi ami huh awh zeel soeih uhy.
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.
Ipkhui na lut unawh naasen ingkaw anu Meri ce ami huh awh koep unawh bawk uhy. Ami a khawhbawm ce awng unawh; sui, frankinsen bawktui ingkaw mura ce pe uhy.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Herod a venna a maming hlatnaak voel aham Khawsa ing a ming mang awh awi ak kqawn peek khqi a dawngawh ak chang lam ben nakawng voei uhy.
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.”
A mingmih ami ceh coengawh Bawipa ak khan ceityih ing Joseph ang mang awh dang pe nawh, “Tho nawhtaw, naasen ingkaw anu ce Egypt qam na cen pyi hlah, awi kak kqawn law hlan dy taw cawh ana awm uh; Herod ing naasen ce him aham sui li hawh hy” tina hy.
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Cawh anih ing tho nawh naasen ingkaw anu ce thawh nawh khawmthan awh Izip qam na cen pyi hy;
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.”
Herod a thih hlan dy taw cawh awm uhy: cetaw “Izip qam awhkawng ka capa ce khy nyng,” tinawh Bawipa ing a tawngha hawnaak ing ak kqawn ce a soepnaak aham ni.
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.
Thlakcyikhqi ing ni qaai na hawh pai moe uh, tice Herod ing a sim awhtaw, ak kaw so soeih hy, thlang tyi nawh Bethlehem khaw awh ak awm naasen boeih boeih ingkaw a khawceng awhkaw ak awm naasenkhqi boeih thlakcyikhqi a doetnaak nyn dy awhkaw kum hih awhkawng ak kai boeih ce him sak hy.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Cawh ce Jeremiah ak awih kqawn soep hy.
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she would not be comforted, because they are no more.”
Qamah khawk khuiawh lungnat zaaknaak, kqahnaak ingkaw khy ang kqangnaak ce awm hy, Rachel ing a cakhqi ce kqah hy, a cakhqi ama awm voel hawh a dawngawh, ang ngaihqepnaak am awm voel hy”.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Cehlai Herod ce a thih coengawh Izip qam awh ak awm Joseph ang mang awh Bawipa ak khan ceityih ce dang pe nawh; a venawh,
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.”
Tho lah, naaca ce lo nawh Israel qam na cehpyi hlah: naaca him aham ak suikung ce thi hawh hy,” tina hy.
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Tho nawh naaca ingkaw a nu ce a lawh coengawh, Israel qam na hlat pyi hy.
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,
Cehlai Arkhelaus ing a pa Herod ang zyng na, Judah qam awh boei na awm hy tice ang zaak awh, ce benna ceh aham kqih hy, ang mang awh Khawsa ing qalqiingnaak awi ak kqawn peek amyihna, Kalili qam benna ce cet hy.
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.
Nazareth ami ti khaw pynoet na ce cet nawh cawh ce awm hy. “Nazareth thlang tinawh khy kawm uh,” tinawh tawnghakhqi ing ami nak kqawn awi ce a soepnaak aham ce amyihna awm hy.
