< 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,
Alaxinaq chi ri Jesús pa ri tinimit Belén rech Judea, pa taq ri qꞌij are kataqan ri taqanel Herodes. Xoꞌpan pa Jerusalén nikꞌaj achyabꞌ kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, kipetik pa ri relibꞌal qꞌij.
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.
Xkitatabꞌelaꞌ xkibꞌij: ¿Jawjeꞌ xalax wi ri kirey ri winaq aꞌj Israel? Xqil ri uchꞌumil rumal riꞌ xujpe chuqꞌijilaꞌxik.
3 When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Ri taqanel Herodes are xutabꞌej rech we riꞌ, xkꞌaxir ranimaꞌ, xkꞌaxir xuqujeꞌ kanimaꞌ ri winaq rech ri tinimit Jerusalén.
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.
Xaq jeriꞌ xtaqan che kisikꞌixik konojel ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe ke ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, xuqujeꞌ ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik, xuta chike jas leꞌaj kalax wi ri Cristo.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
Pa ri tinimit Belén rech Judea, xecha che, rumal cher jeriꞌ utzꞌibꞌam loq ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios:
6 And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
Ri at tinimit Belén, ri at kꞌo pa ri rulew ri Judea, Pune nitzꞌ aqꞌij chikiwach ri e nikꞌaj leꞌaj chik rech ri Judea, Chawe kꞌut kakꞌiy wi na loq jun qꞌatal tzij, Ri kuꞌyuqꞌuj na ri nutinimit Israel.
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Kꞌa te riꞌ ri Herodes cheleqꞌal xuꞌsikꞌij ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, xuta chike jampaꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ ri chꞌumil.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌtaq bꞌik pa Belén, xubꞌij chike: Jix chitatabꞌelaꞌ jawjeꞌ xalax wi ri akꞌal. Are kiriqo, jilibꞌij chwe jeriꞌ kineꞌ xuqujeꞌ in chuqꞌijilaꞌxik.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Are xtataj ri xubꞌij ri taqanel chike, xkitaqej ri kibꞌe, kꞌa te xkilo xnabꞌej ri chꞌumil chkiwach, te xeꞌtakꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri leꞌaj ri kꞌo wi ri akꞌal.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Are xkil ri chꞌumil, sibꞌalaj xekiꞌkotik.
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 unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Xoꞌk bꞌik pa ri ja, xkil ri akꞌal kꞌo rukꞌ ri unan María, xexukiꞌk xkiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Jesús. Kꞌa te riꞌ xkijaq ri kikꞌolibꞌal, xkisipaj qꞌana pwaq che, uqꞌolal cheꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kꞌokꞌ taq kunabꞌal ubꞌiꞌ mirra.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Xechꞌabꞌex kꞌu we achyabꞌ riꞌ pa ri kiwaram xbꞌix chike chi man ketzalij ta chi rukꞌ ri Herodes, rumal riꞌ pa jun bꞌe chik xetzalij wi.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
E bꞌenaq chi ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, are xaq kꞌa teꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ jun ángel rech ri Ajawxel pa uwaram ri José, xubꞌij che: Chatwaꞌjiloq, chakꞌama bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri unan, chatanimaj bꞌik. Jat pa Egipto, chatkanaj kan chilaꞌ kꞌa jampaꞌ na kꞌu kinbꞌij chawe, rumal cher ri Herodes kutzukuj na ri akꞌal rech kukamisaj.
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
Xaq jeriꞌ kꞌa chaqꞌabꞌ na are xwaꞌjil bꞌi ri José, xeꞌ pa Egipto, xukꞌam bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri unan ri akꞌal.
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.
Chilaꞌ xkꞌojiꞌ wi kꞌa xkam na ri Herodes. Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmataj ri ubꞌim loq ri Ajawxel chuchiꞌ ri qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij, are xubꞌij: Pa Egipto kꞌo wi ri nukꞌojol are xinsikꞌij apanoq.
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 enquired of the wise men.
Are xunabꞌej ri Herodes chi man xnimax ta ri utzij kumal ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, xchꞌuꞌjar che royawal. Xtaqan chikikamisaxik ri akꞌalabꞌ ri majaꞌ katzꞌaqat kakabꞌ kijunabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Belén xuqujeꞌ pa nikꞌaj taq leꞌaj chik ri e kꞌo apan chikixukut, are xutereneꞌj ri qꞌotaj ri xbꞌix kan che kumal ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmataj ri xubꞌij loq ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios Jeremías are xubꞌij:
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.
Xtataj jun raqoj chiꞌ pa ri tinimit Ramá, oqꞌej xuqujeꞌ nimalaj bꞌis. Are Raquel keroqꞌej ri ral. Man karaj ta kꞌut kakubꞌisax ukꞌuꞌx, rumal cher e maj chi ral.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Are kaminaq chi ri Herodes, jun ángel rech ri Ajawxel xukꞌut ribꞌ cho ri José pa ri uwaram, are kꞌo na pa Egipto.
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.
Xubꞌij che: Chatwaꞌjiloq, chakꞌama bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri unan, chattzalij pa Israel. Xekam riꞌ ri winaq ri kakirayij ukamisaxik ri akꞌal.
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Xwaꞌjil ri José, xukꞌam bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri rixoqil, xetzalij pa ri tinimit Israel.
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:
Are xutabꞌej rech chi ri Arquelao are tajin kataqan pa Judea che ukꞌex wach ri utat Herodes, xuxiꞌj ribꞌ xeꞌ je laꞌ. Xya kꞌu unoꞌj rumal ri Dios pa ri uwaram rumal riꞌ xetzalij pa Galilea.
23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Xkꞌojiꞌ pa jun leꞌaj ubꞌiꞌ Nazaret, jeriꞌ xkꞌulmataj ri xkibꞌij loq ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios are xkibꞌij: Kabꞌix na Jesús aj Nazaret che.
