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,
Na, i te mea kua whanau nei a Ihu ki Peterehema o Huria, i nga ra o Kingi Herora, na, ka haere mai etahi Maki i te rawhiti ki Hiruharama,
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.”
Ka mea, Kei hea tenei kua whanau nei hei kingi mo nga Hurai? i kite hoki matou i tona whetu i te rawhiti, a ka tae mai nei ki te koropiko ki a ia.
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
A, no te rongonga o Kingi Herora, ka ohorere ratou ko Hiruharama katoa.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Na whakaminea katoatia ana e ia nga tohunga nui me nga karaipi o te iwi, a ka ui ki a ratou ki te wahi e whanau ai a te Karaiti.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ki Peterehema o Huria: ko ta te poropiti hoki tenei i tuhituhi ai,
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.’”
A ko koe, e Peterehema, whenua o Hura, ehara rawa i te iti rawa i roto i nga kawana o Hura: e puta mai hoki i a koe he kawana, hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Na, ka oti nga Maki te karanga puku e Herora, ka uia marietia ratou ki te wa i puta mai ai te whetu.
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.”
A unga ana ratou e ia ki Peterehema, i mea ia, Haere, rapua marietia te tamaiti; a, ka kitea, ka whakahoki mai i te korero ki ahau, kia haere ai hoki ahau ki te koropiko ki a ia.
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.
Na, ka rongo ratou i ta te kingi, ka haere; na ko te whetu, i kite ai ratou i te rawhiti, e haere ana i mua i a ratou, a tae noa, tu noa ki runga ake i te takotoranga o te tamaiti.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
A, i to ratou kitenga i te whetu, ko te tino haringa i hari ai.
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.
A, ka tae ki roto ki te whare, ka kite i te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, ko Meri, na tapapa ana ratou, koropiko ana ki a ia: a, no ka mawhera o ratou taonga, ka hoatu etahi mea ki a ia, he koura, he parakihe, he maira.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
A i whakatupatoria ratou e te Atua, he mea moemoea, kia kaua e hoki ki a Herora; na haere ana ki to ratou kainga he ara ke.
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, ka riro atu ratou, na ka puta moemoea tetahi anahera a te Ariki ki a Hohepa, ka mea, E ara, tangohia te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, e rere ki Ihipa, a hei reira koe kia korero ra ano ahau ki a koe: meake hoki rapu a Herora i te tamaiti kia wh akangaromia.
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Na, ka ara ake ia, ka mau ki te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea i te po, a haere ana ki Ihipa:
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.”
A noho ana i reira, mate noa a Herora; na ka rite ta te Ariki i korerotia e te poropiti, i mea ai ia, He mea karanga naku taku tamaiti i Ihipa.
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.
A, no te kitenga o Herora ka oti ia te tinihanga e nga Maki, rahi rawa tona riri, ka tono tangata, a patua iho nga tamariki katoa, nga mea e rua nei o ratou tau, me o muri iho, i Peterehema, i nga wahi katoa o reira, he mea whakarite ki te taima i uia marietia e ia ki nga Maki.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Katahi ka rite ta Heremaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai,
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.”
I rangona he reo ki Rama, he uhunga, he tangi, he aue nui, ko Rahera e tangi ana ki ana tamariki, a kihai i pai kia whakamarietia, no te mea kua kahore ratou.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
A, no ka mate a Herora, na ka puta moemoea te anahera a te Ariki ki a Hohepa ki Ihipa,
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.”
Ka mea, Ara ake, tangohia te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, a haere ki te whenua o Iharaira: kua mate hoki te hunga i whai kia patua te tamaiti.
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
A, ko tona aranga ake, ka mau ki te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, ka haere ki te whenua o Iharaira.
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,
Otira ka rongo ia ko Arakerauha te kingi o Huria i muri i tona matua, i a Herora, ka wehi ki te haere ki reira: otiia i whakamaharatia ia e te Atua, he mea moemoea, a haere ana ki nga wahi o Kariri;
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.
A ka tae, a ka noho ki tetahi pa, ko Nahareta te ingoa; i rite ai ta nga poropiti i mea ai, Me hua ia he tangata no Nahareta.
