Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Sangpuxang Herod a Bawi kcün üng Jesuh cun Judah khaw Bethlehem mlüha hmi lawki. Acunüng nghngilawa ka khyang kthem he Jerusalem da lawki he.
2 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.
“Hawia ni Judahea Sangpuxang vai hmi lawki hnasen cun. Ania aisi nghngilaw da lut lawki hmu u lü sawkhah khaia kami lawki he ni” ami ti.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Sangpuxang Herod naw acun ngja üng cäicing pyangmaki. Jerusalem mlüha awmkia khyang he naküt pi cäicing hngaki he.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
Sangpuxang Herod naw, ktaiyü ngvai he ja thum mthei he jah mkhäm lü, “Khritaw hawia hmi khai ni?” ti lü a jah kthäh.
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
Amimi naw, “Judah khaw, Bethlehema hmi khaia Sahma naw a yuk ni” ti lü ami pyen.
6 And you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
“Judah hne Bethlehem mlüh, Nang hin Judah mlühe üng na ngming ngthang khai ni. Nang üngka naw Bawi ngtüi law khai, ani naw ka khyang Isarel he lam jah msüm khai.”
7 Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Acunüng, Herod naw khyang kthem he cun angmpyua jah khü lü, aisi angdang lawa kcün cun angsinga a jah kthäh.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
Acunüng, Herod naw Bethlehema jah tüih lü, “Cit u lü hnasen cun akdawa va sui ua. Nami hmuh üng na mtheh law be uki se, kei pi cit lü ka va sawkhah hnga khai” a ti.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, see, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Acunüng cit u lü, nghngilaw da ami hmuh kunga aisi cun hmu betüki he. Ami hmuh üng jekyai tawngki he. Aisi cun ami maa cit lü hnasena awmnaka ngdang a pha üng ngdüiki.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 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 to him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
Im k'uma va lut u lü hnasen ja a nu Marih ami jah hmuh üng ngdäng u lü, hnasen kpamica cun sawkhahki he. Acunkäna ami lawpüia khawhthem he jah nghmawng u lü xüi, Frankisen ja Mura ng'ui he jah peki he.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Acunkäna Sangpuxang Heroda awmnak lam da käh ami ceh be vaia, Pamhnam naw ami ngmang üng jah mtheh se, lam kce üng ami khyawngpe da cu cit beki he.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be you there until I bring you word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
Acun he ami ceh be käna, Bawipaa khankhawngsä mat law lü, Josepa ngmang üng, “Tho law lü, hnasen ja a nu Egypt pea jah cenpüia, ka ning jah mtheh law be vei cäpa acuia awm u, isetiüng ta Herod naw hnasen hnim khaia sui hüki ni” ti lü a jah mtheh.
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
Acuna mthan üng Josep cun tho law lü, naca ja a nu jah cehpüi lü Egypt pea dawngki.
15 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.
Sangpuxang Herod a thih vei cäpa acuia awmki he. Ahlana Bawipa naw sahma üng a pyen “Egypt pea ka ca ka khü be ni” ti lü awmki cen kümcei lawnak vaia phäh ni.
16 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.
Nghngilaw khyang kthem he naw mhleiki he ti Sangpuxang Herod naw a ksing law üng thüi law lü Bethlehem ja apeia awmki hnasen kpamica kum nghngiha kke üngka naküt a jah hnimsak. Acun cun khyang kthema veia a ksing aisi akcük a ngdang law üngkhyüh kum nghngih lawkia kya se, kum nghngih lawki Judah hnasen naküt a jah hnimsak.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
Acukba sahma Jeramih naw ahlana a na pyen law küm lawki ni.
18 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.
“Ramah mlüha sünnak, mbawikyahnak ngja ve u. Rachel naw a ca kyahei ve; mhlawhmcah vai pi mah ve, a ca he thih päiha phäh ni” ti lü awmki.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Herod a thih käna Bawipa khankhawngsä mat Josepa ngmang üng ngdang vai lü,
20 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.
“Tho law lü, hnasen ja a nu Isarel pea jah cehpüi bea, hnasen hnim hlüki he thih päng ve u” ti lü a jah mtheh.
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Acunüng, Josep cun tho law lü hnasen ja a nu jah cehpüi lü Isarel khyawngpe da cit beki.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea 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:
Acunüng, Sangpuxang Heroda capa Akhejah, a paa hnün üng Judah Bawia thawnki ni ti ngjak lü, Josep kyühei lü cit be damki. Pamhnam naw a ngmang üng a mtheha mäiha Kalile hneha cit lü acuia awmki.
23 And he came and dwelled in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Acunüng, Nazaret mlüha im sa lü awmki. Sahma he naw ami na pyen, “Ani cun Nazaret khyanga sui khai he” ti a kümcei lawnak ni.
