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,
Alaxinaq chi ri Jesús pa ri tinimit Belén rech Judea, pa taq ri qꞌij are kataqan ri taqanel Herodes. Xoꞌpan pa Jerusalén nikꞌaj achyabꞌ kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, kipetik pa ri relibꞌal qꞌij.
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.”
Xkitatabꞌelaꞌ xkibꞌij: ¿Jawjeꞌ xalax wi ri kirey ri winaq aꞌj Israel? Xqil ri uchꞌumil rumal riꞌ xujpe chuqꞌijilaꞌxik.
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Ri taqanel Herodes are xutabꞌej rech we riꞌ, xkꞌaxir ranimaꞌ, xkꞌaxir xuqujeꞌ kanimaꞌ ri winaq rech ri tinimit Jerusalén.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Xaq jeriꞌ xtaqan che kisikꞌixik konojel ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe ke ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, xuqujeꞌ ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik, xuta chike jas leꞌaj kalax wi ri Cristo.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Pa ri tinimit Belén rech Judea, xecha che, rumal cher jeriꞌ utzꞌibꞌam loq ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios:
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.’”
Ri at tinimit Belén, ri at kꞌo pa ri rulew ri Judea, Pune nitzꞌ aqꞌij chikiwach ri e nikꞌaj leꞌaj chik rech ri Judea, Chawe kꞌut kakꞌiy wi na loq jun qꞌatal tzij, Ri kuꞌyuqꞌuj na ri nutinimit Israel.
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Kꞌa te riꞌ ri Herodes cheleqꞌal xuꞌsikꞌij ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, xuta chike jampaꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ ri chꞌumil.
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.”
Kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌtaq bꞌik pa Belén, xubꞌij chike: Jix chitatabꞌelaꞌ jawjeꞌ xalax wi ri akꞌal. Are kiriqo, jilibꞌij chwe jeriꞌ kineꞌ xuqujeꞌ in chuqꞌijilaꞌxik.
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.
Are xtataj ri xubꞌij ri taqanel chike, xkitaqej ri kibꞌe, kꞌa te xkilo xnabꞌej ri chꞌumil chkiwach, te xeꞌtakꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri leꞌaj ri kꞌo wi ri akꞌal.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Are xkil ri chꞌumil, sibꞌalaj xekiꞌkotik.
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.
Xoꞌk bꞌik pa ri ja, xkil ri akꞌal kꞌo rukꞌ ri unan María, xexukiꞌk xkiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Jesús. Kꞌa te riꞌ xkijaq ri kikꞌolibꞌal, xkisipaj qꞌana pwaq che, uqꞌolal cheꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kꞌokꞌ taq kunabꞌal ubꞌiꞌ mirra.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Xechꞌabꞌex kꞌu we achyabꞌ riꞌ pa ri kiwaram xbꞌix chike chi man ketzalij ta chi rukꞌ ri Herodes, rumal riꞌ pa jun bꞌe chik xetzalij wi.
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.”
E bꞌenaq chi ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, are xaq kꞌa teꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ jun ángel rech ri Ajawxel pa uwaram ri José, xubꞌij che: Chatwaꞌjiloq, chakꞌama bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri unan, chatanimaj bꞌik. Jat pa Egipto, chatkanaj kan chilaꞌ kꞌa jampaꞌ na kꞌu kinbꞌij chawe, rumal cher ri Herodes kutzukuj na ri akꞌal rech kukamisaj.
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Xaq jeriꞌ kꞌa chaqꞌabꞌ na are xwaꞌjil bꞌi ri José, xeꞌ pa Egipto, xukꞌam bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri unan ri akꞌal.
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.”
Chilaꞌ xkꞌojiꞌ wi kꞌa xkam na ri Herodes. Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmataj ri ubꞌim loq ri Ajawxel chuchiꞌ ri qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij, are xubꞌij: Pa Egipto kꞌo wi ri nukꞌojol are xinsikꞌij apanoq.
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.
Are xunabꞌej ri Herodes chi man xnimax ta ri utzij kumal ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, xchꞌuꞌjar che royawal. Xtaqan chikikamisaxik ri akꞌalabꞌ ri majaꞌ katzꞌaqat kakabꞌ kijunabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Belén xuqujeꞌ pa nikꞌaj taq leꞌaj chik ri e kꞌo apan chikixukut, are xutereneꞌj ri qꞌotaj ri xbꞌix kan che kumal ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmataj ri xubꞌij loq ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios Jeremías are xubꞌij:
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.”
Xtataj jun raqoj chiꞌ pa ri tinimit Ramá, oqꞌej xuqujeꞌ nimalaj bꞌis. Are Raquel keroqꞌej ri ral. Man karaj ta kꞌut kakubꞌisax ukꞌuꞌx, rumal cher e maj chi ral.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Are kaminaq chi ri Herodes, jun ángel rech ri Ajawxel xukꞌut ribꞌ cho ri José pa ri uwaram, are kꞌo na pa Egipto.
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.”
Xubꞌij che: Chatwaꞌjiloq, chakꞌama bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri unan, chattzalij pa Israel. Xekam riꞌ ri winaq ri kakirayij ukamisaxik ri akꞌal.
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Xwaꞌjil ri José, xukꞌam bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri rixoqil, xetzalij pa ri tinimit 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,
Are xutabꞌej rech chi ri Arquelao are tajin kataqan pa Judea che ukꞌex wach ri utat Herodes, xuxiꞌj ribꞌ xeꞌ je laꞌ. Xya kꞌu unoꞌj rumal ri Dios pa ri uwaram rumal riꞌ xetzalij pa Galilea.
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.
Xkꞌojiꞌ pa jun leꞌaj ubꞌiꞌ Nazaret, jeriꞌ xkꞌulmataj ri xkibꞌij loq ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios are xkibꞌij: Kabꞌix na Jesús aj Nazaret che.
