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 teh siangpahrang lah ao navah, Judah ram Bethlehem kho dawk Jisuh teh a khe. Hatnavah âsikathoumnaw teh Jerusalem vah a pha awh.
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.
Ahnimouh ni, kanîtholah amae Âsi ka hmu awh dawkvah, ama bawk hanelah ka pâtam awh. Judah siangpahrang ka khe e teh na maw ao telah a pacei awh.
3 And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Hote lawk hah a thai awh navah, Herod siangpahrang hoi Jerusalem e tami pueng a tâsue awh.
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.
Vaihma bawi kalennaw hoi cakathutkungnaw pueng a pâkhueng teh, Khrih teh na maw a khe han telah a pacei.
5 And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea; for so it is said in the writings of the prophet,
Hotnaw pueng niyah, Profet buet touh ni sut a thut e teh,
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.
Oe, Judah ram Bethlehem kho, nang teh Judah ram khopuinaw hlak vah na thoungca hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka tami Isarelnaw kaukkung Bawipa teh nathung hoi a tâco han, ahni ni Isarelnaw teh a khoum han, hettelah Cakathoung dawk ao. Hatdawkvah Judah ram, Bethlehem kho dawkvah Khrih teh a khe han atipouh awh.
7 Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.
Hahoi, Herod ni âsikathoumnaw hah a ru lah a kaw teh, Âsi a kamphawngnae atueng hah kahawicalah a pacei hoiyah cet a nateh camo ca hah kahawicalah tawng awh
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.
Na hmawt awh pawiteh kai hai ka bawk van nahan, bout na thaisak awh, telah lawk a thui teh Bethlehem lah a patoun.
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 e a lawk hah a ngai awh teh a cei awh navah, kanîtholah a hmu e âsi teh ahnimae hmalah a cei dawkvah camo ca a onae lathueng a pha teh a kâhat.
10 And when they saw the star they were full of joy.
Hote âsi bout a hmu awh toteh a konawm awh teh puenghoi a lunghawi awh.
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.
Im thung a kâen awh navah a manu Meri hoi camo ca teh a hmu awh, a tabo awh teh camo a bawk awh. Amamae hno tabunaw a paawng awh teh sui, frankinsen hoi murah poehnonaw hoi a bawk awh.
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.
Herod siangpahrang koe bout ban hoeh nahanlah a manglah Cathut ni kâhruetcuetnae a poe dawkvah, alouke lam lahoi amamouh kho lah a ban awh.
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.
Ahnimanaw a cei awh hnukkhu, Cathut e kalvantami teh Joseph e a mang lah a kamnue teh, thaw nateh camo hoi a manu hah Izip ram lah yawngkhai leih. Lawk bout ka dei hoehroukrak hote ram dawk awm awh. Herod siangpahrang ni camo hah thei hanlah a tawng han toe atipouh.
14 So he took the young child and his mother by night, and went into Egypt;
Hahoi, Joseph a thaw teh, camo hoi a manu hah a hrawi teh, karum vah Izip ram lah a yawngkhai.
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.
Herod siangpahrang a due ditouh hote ram dawkvah ao awh. Het hateh, Ka Capa hah Izip ram hoi ka kaw toe, telah Cathut ni Profetnaw hno lahoi a dei tangcoung e a kuep nahane doeh.
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.
Âsikathoumnaw ni na dum awh toe tie Herod ni a panue navah, a lung puenghoi a phuen. Tami lungkaangnaw koe a pacei tangcoung e âsi a kamphawngnae koehoi, Bethlehem hoi a tengpam kho dawk e camo tongpa kum hni touh hoi a rahim pueng hah tami a patoun teh a thei sak.
17 Then the word of Jeremiah the prophet came true,
Profet Jeremiah ni a dei e,
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.
Ramah kho thungvah khuika hoi hramki e lawk ka thai. A canaw ao hoeh toung dawkvah Rachel ni a khuika e cing thai hoeh, tie lawk hatnavah a kuep.
19 But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord came in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Hatei, Herod a due hnukkhu, Izip ram vah Joseph e a mang lah Bawipa e kalvantami teh bout a kamnue pouh teh,
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.
Thaw nateh a manu hoi camo hah Isarel ram lah cetkhai leih, camo thei hanlah katawngnaw teh a due awh toe, atipouh.
21 And he got up, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Joseph a thaw teh a manu hoi camo hah Isarel ram lah a ceikhai.
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.
Hatei, Herod yueng lah a capa Akhelaus ni Judah ram dawk bawi lah ao tie a thai dawkvah, hote ram koe lah cet ngam hoeh. A mang lah Cathut ni kâhruetcuetnae bout a poe e patetlah Galilee ram lah a cei.
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.
Profetnaw ni sut a dei awh e lawk, Khrih hah Nazareth tami telah a kaw awh han, tie a kuep nahanelah Nazareth kho dawk a pha awh teh hawvah ao awh.
