Matthew 2
1 Now, when, Jesus, was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! wise men from eastern parts, came into Jerusalem:
Ie toly e Betleheme e Iehodà ao t’i Iesoà, tañ’andro’ i Heroda mpanjaka, le inge totsak’ e Ierosaleme ty mpañandro maro boak’ atiñanañe añe,
2 saying—Where is he that hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to him.
nanao ty hoe: Aia i Mpanjaka’ o Jiosio vaho samakey? Fa tinalake’ay atiñanañe eñe ty vasia’e, vaho pok’eo zahay an-dravoravom-piasiañe hitalaho ama’e.
3 But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
Ie jinanji’ i Heroda mpanjaka le nitsiborehetoke reketse ze hene mpimone’ Ierosaleme.
4 and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them—Where is, the Christ, to be born?
Aa le hene natonto’e o androanavi’eo, vaho nañontanea’e he fohi’ iareo ty hisamahañe i Norizañey.
5 And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, —for, so, is it written through the prophet:
Hoe ty natoi’ iareo: E Betleheme Iehodà ao, ty amy pinatetse amy mpitokiy ty hoe:
6 And, thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means least, art thou, among the governors of Judah, —For, out of thee, shall one come forth to govern, Who shall shepherd my people Israel.
Ihe Betleheme Iehodà, Efratà, tane’ Iehodà, Inao toe pininite’e amo fifokoa’ Iehodao rehe; fe hirik’ ama’o te hionjom-bamako ty ho Mpifehe e Israele ao.
7 Then Herod, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star;
Le kinanji’ i Heroda i mpañandro rey naho natola’e vaho nitsikarahe’e am’iereo i andro niboaha’ i vasiañey.
8 and sending them to Bethlehem, said—Go search out accurately concerning the child, —and, as soon as ye find it, bring report unto me, that, I also, may come and bow myself down to it.
Nahitri’e mb’e Betleheme mb’eo iereo ami’ty hoe: Akia, hotsohotsò i Ajaja-lahiy, ie rendre’ areo, ampahafohino ahy, fa homb’ama’e mb’eo ka raho hitalaho.
9 Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was;
Ie nahajanjiñe i mpanjakay le nienga; naho indroy i vasiañe niisa’ iereo atiñanañe añey niaolo iareo ampara’ te nipok’ amy toetsey, nijohañe ambone’ ty toe’ i ajajay ey.
10 and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;
Nifale iereo toe nirañorano an-kobay te nahaisake i vasiañey.
11 and, coming into the house, they saw the child, with Mary its mother, —and, falling down, prostrated themselves unto it, and, opening their treasures, offered unto it gifts—gold and frankincense and myrrh;
Aa ie nizilike an-traño ao le nitendreke aze naho i Marie rene’e; naho nitongaleke aolo’e eo, niambane ama’e, nanokake o horo’ iareoo naho nibanabana ravoravo ama’e: volamena naho mañi-dè vaho rame.
12 and, being instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.
Hinatahata’ ty anjely ami’ty nofy iereo, nanoro t’ie tsy hibalike mb’amy Heroda mb’eo, aa le nimpoly mb’an-tane’ iareo añe nañorike lalan-kafa.
13 Now, when they had retired, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph, saying, Arise, take unto thee the child and its mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there, until I tell thee, —for Herod is about to seek the child, to destroy it.
Ie añe, intoy, nisodeha amy Josefe ty Anjeli’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Mitroara, rambeso i Ajajalahiy naho i rene’e, mibioña mb’e Mitsraime añe vaho itaveaño ampara’ te tohineko, amy te paiae’ i Heroda havetrake i Ajajalahiy.
14 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;
Aa le nendese’e i Ajajay naho i rene’e,
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, called I my son.
vaho nitambatse añe ampara’ te niantantiritse t’i Heroda, hañenefañe ty nampisaontsieñe i mpitokiy ty hoe: Boake Mitsraime añe ty nitokavako ty Anako.
16 Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly enraged, —and sent and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.
Ie nifohi’ i Heroda ty nanoa’ i mpañandro rey, le tsy hay aia ty habose’e, toe niojeoje an-troke, vaho linili’e te hahitrike amo roandria’e iabio ty hanjamañe ze hene anak’ ajajalahy e Betleheme naho amparipari’e ao ze nisamake ambane ty tao nisaontsie’ i mpañandro reiy te nisamaheñe i ajalahiy.
17 Then was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Niheneke amy zay ty nisaontsie’ i Jeremia mpitoky:
18 A voice, in Ramah, was heard, weeping and great mourning, —Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, —because they are not.
Jinanjiñe e Rama ao ty fiarañanañañe; fandalañe naho fangololoihañe mafaitse: Mirovetse o ana’eo t’i Rahelie, ntt
19 But, when Herod was, dead, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph in Egypt;
Ie nihomake t’i Heroda, le nitoje amy Josefe e Mitsraime ao ama’ nofy ty anjeli’ Iehovà
20 saying—Arise! and take unto thee the child and its mother, and be journeying into the land of Israel, —for they are dead, who were seeking the life of the child.
nanao ty hoe: Mitroara, rambeso i Ajajalahiy naho i rene’e, le akia mb’an-tane’ Israele añe; fa mate o nipay hañoho-doza amy Ajajaio.
21 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.
Aa le niongake re, ninday i Ajajay naho i rene’e, nimpoly mb’ an-tane Israele mb’eo.
22 Hearing, however, that, Archelaus, was reigning over Judaea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid, thither, to go, —and so, being instructed by dream, he retired into the parts of Galilee;
Jinanji’e te nandimbe i Heroda rae’e nifeleke e Iehodà ao t’i Horkanose, le nimarimarike tsy te homb’eo. Aa le nirisihe’ i Anjeliy ami’ty nofy re ty hitsile mb’ an-tane Gilgale añe.
23 and came and fixed his dwelling in a city called Nazareth, —that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets—A Nazarene, shall he be called.
Ie nandoake ao le nimoneñe an-drova atao Nazareta, hañeneke i nisaontsie’ o mpitokio te: Hatao nte-Naz’rete re.
