Matthew 2
1 Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Herod siangpahrang ah oh nathuem ah, Jesu loe Judea prae Bethlehem vangpui ah tapenh, khenah, ni angyae bang hoiah palungha kaminawk Jerusalem ah angzoh o moe,
2 Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.
vaihiah tapen Judea kaminawk ih siangpahrang loe naa ah maw oh? Ni angyae bangah anih ih cakaeh to ka hnuk o pongah, anih bok hanah kang zoh o, tiah a thuih o.
3 And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
To lok to Herod siangpahrang mah thaih naah, dawnrai, Jerusalem vangpui ih kaminawk boih dawnrai o.
4 And he got together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, questioning them as to where the birth-place of the Christ would be.
To naah anih mah kalen koek qaimanawk hoi ca tarikkungnawk to nawnto kawk cuu moe, Kri loe naa ah maw tapen tih, tiah a dueng.
5 And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea; for so it is said in the writings of the prophet,
Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Judea prae Bethlehem vangpui ah tapen tih: tahmaa mah,
6 You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel.
Judea prae thung ih, Bethlehem, nang loe Judea prae ukkungnawk thungah kathoeng koek na ai ni; nang thung hoiah Ukkung to angzo ueloe, anih mah Kai ih Israel kaminawk to uk tih, tiah tarik ih oh, tiah a naa o.
7 Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.
To pacoengah Herod mah palungha kaminawk to kawk duem moe, natuek naah maw nihcae khaeah cakaeh amtueng pae, tito kahoihah dueng.
8 And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.
To pacoengah nihcae to Bethlehem ah patoeh, Caeh oh loe nawkta to kahoihah pakrong oh; anih to na hnuk o naah tamthang na thaih o sak ah, kang zoh moe, anih to ka bok toeng han, tiah a naa.
9 And after hearing the king, they went on their way; and the star which they saw in the east went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the young child was.
Siangpahrang ih lok thaih pacoengah nihcae loe caeh o; khenah, ni angyae bangah a hnuk o ih cakaeh loe, nawkta ohhaih ahmuen to phak moe, anghak o ai karoek to nihcae hmaa ah caeh.
10 And when they saw the star they were full of joy.
Nihcae mah cakaeh to hnuk o naah, paroeai anghoehaih hoiah oh o.
11 And they came into the house, and saw the young child with Mary, his mother; and falling down on their faces they gave him worship; and from their store they gave him offerings of gold, perfume, and spices.
Imthug ah akun o naah loe, nawkta hoi Anih ih amno Meri to a hnuk o, khokkhu cangkrawn o moe, anih to a bok o: tangqum tabunawk to paongh o moe, sui, hmuihoih Frankinsin hoi myrrth to anih hanah paek o.
12 And it was made clear to them by God in a dream that they were not to go back to Herod; so they went into their country by another way.
Nihcae Herod khaeah amlaem let han ai ah Sithaw mah amang ah acoehaih paek pongah, loklam kalah bang hoiah angmacae prae ah amlaem o ving.
13 And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.
Nihcae amlaem o pacoengah, khenah, Angraeng ih van kami maeto Joseph ih amang ah amtueng pae, Angthawk ah, nawkta hoi Anih ih amno to lah loe, Izip prae ah cawn haih ah, to ah lok kang thui ai karoek to om ah; Herod mah nawkta hum hanah pakrong tih, tiah a naa.
14 So he took the young child and his mother by night, and went into Egypt;
Anih loe angthawk moe, nawkta hoi Anih ih amno to lak pacoengah, khoving ah Izip prae ah caeh haih:
15 And was there till the death of Herod; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.
Anih loe to ah Herod dueh ai karoek to oh: Izip prae hoiah ka Capa to ka kawk, tiah tahmaa patohhaih rang hoiah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok akoep han ih ni to tiah oh.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.
Palungha kaminawk mah ang ling boeh, tiah Herod mah panoek naah, paroeai palungphui; palungha kaminawk khaeah lokduenghaih atue pakoep pacoengah, kami patoeh moe, Bethlehem vangpui hoi a taengah kaom saning hnetto hoi atlim bang nawktanawk to humsak boih.
17 Then the word of Jeremiah the prophet came true,
To naah Ramah vangpui thungah oihaih, qahhaih hoi palungsethaih lok to oh, Rachel mah a caanawk to qah haih, a caanawk om o ai boeh pongah, monghaih om ai boeh, tiah tahmaa Jeremiah mah thuih ih lok to akoep boeh.
18 In Ramah there was a sound of weeping and great sorrow, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted for their loss.
19 But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord came in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Toe khenah, Herod duek pacoeng, Izip prae ah oh naah, Angraeng ih van kami maeto Joseph ih amang ah amtueng pae,
20 Saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: because they who were attempting to take the young child's life are dead.
anih khaeah, Angthawk ah, nawkta hoi Anih ih amno to lah loe, Israel prae ah caeh haih ah; nawkta hinghaih lak han pakrong kaminawk loe duek o boeh, tiah a naa.
21 And he got up, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Anih loe angthawk moe, nawkta hoi Anih ih amno lak pacoengah, Israel prae ah amlaem haih.
22 But when it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts of Galilee.
Toe anih mah Arkhelaus loe ampa Herod zuengah Judea prae to uk, tiah thaih naah to ah caeh hanah zit: Sithaw mah amang ah acoehaih paek baktih toengah, anih loe Kalili prae thungah caeh.
23 And he came and was living in a town named Nazareth: so that the word of the prophets might come true, He will be named a Nazarene.
Anih loe Nazareth vangpui ah caeh moe, to ah khosak: Anih loe Nazareth kami, tiah kawk o tih, tiah tahmaanawk mah thuih o ih lok akoep han ih ni to tiah oh.
