Matthew 2
1 Leng Herod vaipoh laiyin, Judea gam Bethlehem a Yeshua ana peng in ahi. Hiche pet chun solam gamkai hoa kon in miching phabep Jerusalem khopia ahung un, amaho chun adong un,
NOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 “Juda nam mite lengthah hungpeng chu hoilaiya umham? Kei hon Ama ahsi hung sohdoh chu solam a kamu uvin chule Ama chu, hou dinga hunga kahiuve,” atiuvin ahi.
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 Leng Herod chun hiche thu ajah phat in ama le Jerusalem a cheng jouse alung kham lheh jeng un ahi.
When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Aman thempu pipui ho leh hou dan thuhil ho akhom in “Messiah hoilai muna peng ding ham?” tin amaho chu adong tai.
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5 Amahon adonbut un, “Judea gam Bethlehem a atiuve, ajeh chu themgao vin hiti hin ajih e:
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judæa: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 ‘Chule nangma, vo Bethlehem Judah gam'a um, Judah khopia vaipo holah a aneopen nahi poi, ijeh inem itileh nangma a kona vaipo khat, kami Israelte ching dingpa chu hung ding ahi,’” atiuve.
And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Chutah in Herod chun miching ho chu guhthim in aki houpin, amahoa kon in ahsi akimu masat phat chu ahedoh tai.
Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 Chutah in aman amaho chu aseipeh in, “Bethlehem a che uvin chule naosen chu ching thei tah in gahol un, ama chu namu teng uleh, hungkit un chule keima neiseipeh un, chutia keima jong kaga chea Ama chu kaga hou theina ding in,” ati.
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 Lengpa thu ajah jou uchun miching ho chu ache uvin ahileh, solam a ahsi amu uchu amasang uva ache peh in, Bethlehem lama apuiyun chule naosen umna mun chunga chun akingan ahi.
When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 Amahon ahsi chu amu phat uvin, amaho chu kipanan alungu alodim tai!
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 Amaho insunga alut uva ahileh naosen chu anu Mary toh ana umkhom amu uvin, chuin amaho aboh khup uvin, Ama chu ahou tauve. Chuin amahon agou bom'u chu ahong doh uvin, ama chu Sana, Bego chule Myrrh kipa thilpeh in ape tauvin ahi.
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Chujouvin amahon adalhah tauvin ahileh, Pathen in amang uva Herod heng lama kile lou dinga agihsal jeh'u chun, lam chom aho uvin agam lam uva akile tauve.
And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 Miching ho ache doh jou uvin, Pakai vantil khat Joseph mang'in akilah in, “Kipatdoh in! Egypt gama naosen le anu chutoh jam uvin. Hiche mun achun hung kile kit dinga kaseipeh kahsen umden un, ajeh chu Herod in naosen chu tha dinga ahol ding ahi” tin aseipeh tai.
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 Chuche jan chun naosen chutoh anu Mary chu Joseph in apuiyin Egypt'a din, hiche mun chu adalha tauvin ahi.
When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15 Chule Herod thi kahsen chua chun aum den tauve. Hiche hi Pakaiyin themgao kam'a ana phondohsa: “Keiman ka Chapa chu Egypt a kakou doh e” ti gui lhunna ahi.
And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Miching hon angol bol'u Herod chun ahet doh phat in alung hang lheh jengtai. Aman chapang pasal jouse, miching hon ahsi so masat phat aseiyu totoh in, kum nia lhah noi-lamse Bethlehem sung le akimvel sea sepai ho asol in agatha sahtai.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Herod khansetna hi Pathen in themgao Jeremiah henga ana seisa:
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
18 “Ramah ah ka awgin akijai-Kana le lunghemna nasatah chu! Rachel in achate akapin, amaho athitah jeh uvin, lhepbi ding anom tapoi,” kiti chu gui lhunna ahi.
In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 Herod athi phat in, Pakai vantil khat chu Joseph henga amang in, Egypt a aumpet in ahung kilah in,
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 “Kipatdoh in naosen chule anu chu Israel gam'a puikit in, ijeh inem itileh naosen tha ding ana goho chu athi tauve” tin vantil in aseipeh in ahi.
Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.
21 Chuin Joseph akipat doh in chule Israel gam lama Yeshua le anutoh ahung kile tauve.
And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Ahinlah aman Judea vaipo thahpa chu Herod chapa Archelaus ahi ti ahetphat in, chuche mun a gache ding akicha tai. Ajan manga gihsalna amutah jeh in Galilee gam lam a ding in akipat doh tai.
But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judæa in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23 Hiti chun hiche insung chu Nazareth kiti khopi khat a chun aga cheuvin chule hichea chun acheng tauve. Hiti chun themgao thusei “Ama Nazareth mi kiti ding ahi” kiti chu agui lhung tan ahi.
And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
