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:
Leleꞌ bonggi Yesus mia kambo Betlehem sia profinsi Yudea, mane Herodes toꞌu parendaꞌ. Leleꞌ naa, hambu atahori hira mia mamana dodꞌooꞌ sia langgan rulu rema risiꞌ kota Yerusalem. Sira, atahori mana rahine mete nduuꞌ.
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.
Leleꞌ ara losa Yerusalem, ara ratatane reu-rema rae, “Atahori Yahudi ra manen fo feꞌe nenebꞌonggiꞌ a, sia bee, e? Hai mita nduuꞌ sa sia langgan rulu, mana fee tatandaꞌ nae, bonggi E ena. Naeni de hai ima mae beꞌutee neu E.”
3 But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
Leleꞌ mane Herodes rena oꞌola nara, ma ralan liuali. Naa de basa atahori sia Yerusalem ra o ramedꞌa taꞌo naa boe.
4 and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them—Where is, the Christ, to be born?
Basa ma, mane Herodes naꞌabꞌue nala basa malangga agama Yahudi ra ro meser agama ra, de natane se nae, “Hei mifadꞌe sobꞌa au dei! Kristus fo, Lamatualain helu-fuli memaꞌ a, nenebꞌonggiꞌ sia bee, e?”
5 And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, —for, so, is it written through the prophet:
Ma rataa rae, “Sia kambo Betlehem, sia profinsi Yudea, ama maneꞌ. Huu Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-olan Mika suraꞌ memaꞌ mia dalahulun taꞌo ia:
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.
‘We, hei atahori Betlehem, mana sia profinsi Yudea re. Afiꞌ duꞌa mae, hei kambom naa, kambo anaꞌ nda naꞌena sosoa-ndandaaꞌ sa. Huu dei fo hambu atahori moko-monaen sa mia naa nema. Dei fo Ana dadꞌi manatadꞌa soaꞌ neu Au atahori Israꞌel ngga ra.’”
7 Then Herod, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star;
Rena basa taꞌo naa ma, mane Herodes noꞌe nee-nee nala atahori mana mete rahine nduuꞌ ra. De natane se, sira rita nduuꞌ naa sou sia lalai a eni bees. Ma ara rafadꞌe e.
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.
Boe ma ana denu se Betlehem reu. Nafadꞌe se nae, “Mii sangga rereoꞌ Anaꞌ naa sia naa. Mete ma hei mindaa mo E, na, baliꞌ ima mifadꞌe au. Huu au ae uu beꞌutee neu E boe.
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;
Ara rena basa maneꞌ a oꞌolan, ma ara reu boe. Tao-tao te, ara rita nduuꞌ fo dalahulun rita mia seriꞌ rulu a. Nduuꞌ a sou mia mata nara, ma ana laoꞌ de losa Anaꞌ a mamana leleon, ma naloeꞌ.
10 and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;
Rita taꞌo naa, ma ramahoꞌo rala seli.
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;
Basa de ara ume rala reu, ma rita Anaꞌ a no maman Maria. De sendeꞌ lululangga nara beꞌutee neu E. Boe ma ara buka mbomboti sudꞌiꞌ a saa mafelit nara, fo fee neu Anaꞌ a. Ara fee lilo, kemenyan, no hau raa maꞌameniꞌ.
12 and, being instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.
Nda dooꞌ sa ma, ara hambu meit mia Lamatualain oi, “Ama afiꞌ baliꞌ misiꞌ mane Herodes fai.” Naa de ara bali risiꞌ kambo nara tungga dalaꞌ laen.
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.
Leleꞌ atahori mana mete rahine nduuꞌ ra lao baliꞌ, boe ma Lamatualain aten esa mia sorga nema nafadꞌe neu Yusuf sia meit na, nae “Wae, Yusuf! Fela lailai! Haꞌi mala Anaꞌ naa no maman fo mela nusa Masir mi. Leo mihati naa losa faiꞌ bee fo Au ufadꞌe nggi fo ama baliꞌ na dei fo ama baliꞌ, te mane Herodes sangga nae nisa Anaꞌ naa!”
14 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;
Basa ma Yusuf fela. Boe ma ana nendi saon no Anaꞌ naa tetembaꞌ, de rela nusa Masir reu.
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.
Ara leo mia naa losa Herodes mate. No taꞌo naa Lamatualain oꞌolan dadꞌi, onaꞌ mana ola-olan Hosea nafadꞌe memaꞌ eniꞌ a mia lele uluꞌ a nae, “Au oꞌe baliꞌ Ana Ngga, fo lao hela Masir.”
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.
Leleꞌ mane Herodes nahine nae, atahori mana mete rahine nduuꞌ ra lelekoꞌ e, ma ana namanasa seli. De ana parenda soldꞌadꞌu nara nae, “Mii sia kambo Betlehem ma kambo-kambo mana deka naa ra. Tao misa basa ana diki tou anaꞌ, mana to beꞌe ruaꞌ fo rae neu.” Herodes parenda taꞌo naa, huu ana nasanedꞌa atahori mahineꞌ ra dudꞌuin. Ana reken eniꞌ a ara rita nduuꞌ a sou fefeun mia lalai a.
17 Then was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Basa dalaꞌ ia ra dadꞌi, tungga saa fo Lamatualain mana ola-olan Yeremia sura memaꞌ mia lele uluꞌ a nae,
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.
“Rena atahori nggae ei-ei sia kota Rama. Rahel nggae ei-ei, huu basa ana nara mate ena. Ana nda nau atahori reu kokoe e sa. huu basa ana nara nese ena.”
19 But, when Herod was, dead, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph in Egypt;
Dodꞌoo ma mane Herodes mate. Leleꞌ naa Yusuf se feꞌe sia Masir. Boe ma Lamatualain aten esa mia sorga, nema natudꞌu matan neu e mia meit.
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.
Ate a nafadꞌe nae, “Wae, Yusuf! Fela leo! Mo baliꞌ Anaꞌ naa no maman, Israꞌel reu. Te atahori fo mana nae tao nisa Anaꞌ naa mate ena.”
21 And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.
Rena taꞌo naa ma Yusuf fela. De ana no baliꞌ se nusa Israꞌel reu.
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;
Te leleꞌ ana rena nae, mane Herodes anan Arkalaus toꞌu parendaꞌ sia profinsi Yudea, boe ma namatau baliꞌ naa neu. Basa ma Lamatualain parenda e sia meit sa fai nae, “Yusuf, afiꞌ leo sia Yudea.” Naeni de ana neu leo sia profinsi Galilea,
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.
sia kamboꞌ sa naran Nasaret. No taꞌo naa, Lamatualain oꞌolan, dadꞌi tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ ena, tungga saa fo mana ola-ola nara suraꞌ memaꞌ rae, “Dei fo ara roꞌe E rae, Atahori Nasaret.”
