Matthew 2
1 Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,
यहूदियाको बेथलेहेममा राजा हेरोदको समयमा येशूको जन्म भएपछि पूर्वबाट ज्ञानी मानिसहरू यरूशलेममा आएर यसो भन्न लागे,
2 Where is the king of the Jews that has been born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.
“यहूदीहरूका राजा भई जन्मनुभएका उहाँ कहाँ हुनुहुन्छ? हामीले उहाँको तारा पूर्वमा देख्यौँ र उहाँलाई दण्डवत् गर्न आएका छौँ ।”
3 But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
जब हेरोद राजाले यो सुने, उनी र उनीसँगै सारा यरूशलेम बेचैन भए ।
4 and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
हेरोदले सबै मुख्य पुजारी र मानिसहरूका शास्त्रीहरूलाई भेला गराए, र उनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “जन्मने भनिएका ख्रीष्ट कहाँ छन्?”
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:
तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “यहूदियाको बेथलेहेममा किनकि अगमवक्ताद्वारा यस्तै लेखिएको थियो,
6 And thou Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.
‘र यहूदाको देशमा, ए बेथलेहम, यहूदाका शासकहरूभन्दा तँ कुनै कम छैनस्, किनकि तँबाट एक जना शासक आउनुहुनेछ जसले मेरा मानिस इस्राएलको हेरचाह गर्नुहुनेछ’ ।”
7 Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;
त्यसपछि ठिक कुन समयमा तारा देखा परेको थियो भनी सोध्न हेरोदले गुप्त रूपमा ती ज्ञानी मानिसहरूलाई बोलाए ।
8 and having sent them to Bethlehem, said, Go, search out accurately concerning the child, and when ye shall have found [him] bring me back word, so that I also may come and do him homage.
उनले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्दै बेथलेहेम पठाए, “जाओ र राम्रोसँग त्यस बालकलाई खोज । जब उनलाई भेट्टाउनेछौ, मलाई खबर गर ताकि म पनि गएर उनलाई दण्डवत् गर्न सकूँ ।”
9 And they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it came and stood over the place where the little child was.
तिनीहरूले राजाले भनेका कुरा सुनेपछि तिनीहरू आफ्नो बाटो लागे अनि तिनीहरूले पूर्वमा देखेका तारा तिनीहरूका अगि-अगि गए, र सानो बालक भएको ठाउँमा आइपुग्दा त्यो तारा त्यही ठाउँमाथि रोकियो ।
10 And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
जब तिनीहरूले त्यो तारा देखे, तिनीहरू हर्षले अति आनन्दित भए ।
11 And having come into the house they saw the little child with Mary his mother, and falling down did him homage. And having opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
तिनीहरू घरभित्र पसे र सानो बालकलाई उहाँकी आमा मरियमको साथमा देखे । तिनीहरूले दण्डवत् गरे र उहाँको आराधना गरे । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बहुमूल्य कुराहरू निकाले र उहाँलाई सुन, सुगन्धित धूप र मूर्रका उपहारहरू चढाए ।
12 And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई हेरोदकहाँ फर्की नजानू भनी सपनामा चेतावनी दिनुभयो । त्यसैले, तिनीहरू अर्कै बाटो भएर आ-आफ्नै देशमा गए ।
13 Now, they having departed, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Arise, take to [thee] the little child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee; for Herod will seek the little child to destroy it.
तिनीहरू गइसकेपछि परमप्रभुका एउटा दूत योसेफकहाँ सपनामा देखा परे र भने, “उठ, सानो बालक र उहाँकी आमालाई लिएर मिश्र देशमा भागेर जाऊ । मैले नभनेसम्म त्यहीँ बस, किनकि हेरोदले सानो बालकलाई मार्न उहाँलाई खोज्नेछ ।”
14 And, having arisen, he took to [him] the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.
त्यो रात योसेफ उठे र सानो बालक र उहाँकी आमालाई लिए अनि मिश्रदेशतर्फ प्रस्थान गरे ।
15 And he was there until the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
हेरोदको मृत्यु नभएसम्म उनी त्यहीँ बसे । अगमवक्ताद्वारा परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको कुरा यसरी पुरा भयो, “मैले आफ्ना पुत्रलाई मिश्रदेशबाट बोलाएको छु ।”
16 Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the magi, was greatly enraged; and sent and slew all the boys which [were] in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time which he had accurately inquired from the magi.
त्यसपछि जब हेरोदले आफू ती ज्ञानी मानिसहरूबाट छलिएको कुरा थाहा पाए, उनी औधी रिसाए । ती ज्ञानी मानिसहरूबाट उनले निर्धारण गरेका समयअनुसार त्यस क्षेत्रका दुई वर्ष पुगेका र त्योभन्दा मुनिका बालकहरूलाई र बेथलेहेमका सबै पुरुष बालकलाई मानिसहरू पठाएर मार्न लगाए ।
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying,
यसरी यर्मिया अगमवक्ताद्वारा जे भनिएको थियो, त्यो पुरा भयो,
18 A voice has been heard in Rama, weeping, and great lamentation: Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
“रामामा एउटा आवाज सुनियो, रोदन र ठुलो विलाप, बालकहरूका निम्ति राहेलको रोदन, र सान्त्वना तिनले इन्कार गरिन्, किनकि तिनका बालकहरू अब रहेनन् ।”
19 But Herod having died, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
जब हेरोद मरे, हेर, परमप्रभुका एक जना दूत मिश्रमा योसेफकहाँ सपनामा देखा परे अनि उनलाई भने,
20 Arise, take to [thee] the little child and its mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the little child are dead.
“उठ, अनि बालक र उहाँकी आमालाई लिएर इस्राएल देशमा जाऊ, किनकि जसले बालकलाई मार्न चाहेका थिए, तिनीहरू मरिसकेका छन् ।”
21 And he arose and took to [him] the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;
योसेफ उठे, अनि बालक र उहाँकी आमालाई लिएर इस्राएल देशमा आए ।
22 but having heard that 'Archelaus reigns over Judaea, instead of Herod his father,' he was afraid to go there; and having been divinely instructed in a dream, he went away into the parts of Galilee,
तर जब यहूदियामा आफ्ना बुबा हेरोदको ठाउँमा अर्खिलाउसले शासन गरिरहेका उनले सुने, उनी त्यहाँ जान डराए । परमप्रभुले सपनामा चेतावनी दिनुभएपछि उनी गालीलको क्षेत्रतिर लागे,
23 and came and dwelt in a town called Nazareth; so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, He shall be called a Nazaraene.
र नासरत भनिने सहरमा गएर बसे । “उहाँलाई नासरी भनिनेछ” भनेर अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा बोलिएको वचन यसरी पुरा भयो ।
