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,
And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came 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 who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.'
3 Leng Herod chun hiche thu ajah phat in ama le Jerusalem a cheng jouse alung kham lheh jeng un ahi.
And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, 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 having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.
5 Amahon adonbut un, “Judea gam Bethlehem a atiuve, ajeh chu themgao vin hiti hin ajih e:
And they said to him, 'In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it hath been written through 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, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee shall come one leading, who shall feed 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, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star,
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 having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, 'Having gone — inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.'
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.
And they, having heard the king, departed, and lo, the star, that they did see in the east, did go before them, till, having come, it stood over where the child was.
10 Amahon ahsi chu amu phat uvin, amaho chu kipanan alungu alodim tai!
And having seen 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 having come to the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down they bowed to him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to 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 having been divinely warned in a dream not to turn back unto Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
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 on their having withdrawn, lo, a messenger of the Lord doth appear in a dream to Joseph, saying, 'Having risen, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and be thou there till I may speak to thee, for Herod is about to seek the 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.
And he, having risen, took the child and his mother by night, and withdrew to 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 he was there till the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 'Out of Egypt I did call 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, having seen that he was deceived by the mages, was very wroth, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from the mages.
17 Herod khansetna hi Pathen in themgao Jeremiah henga ana seisa:
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah 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.
'A voice in Ramah was heard — lamentation and weeping and much mourning — Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she 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,
And Herod having died, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream doth appear 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, 'Having risen, take the child and his mother, and be going to the land of Israel, for they have died — those seeking the life of the child.'
21 Chuin Joseph akipat doh in chule Israel gam lama Yeshua le anutoh ahung kile tauve.
And he, having risen, took the child and his mother, and came to 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.
and having heard that Archelaus doth reign over Judea instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither, and having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to 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 coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophets, that 'A Nazarene he shall be called.'
