Matthew 2
1 And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi from the east came 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 who was born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east, and we came 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 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, 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 having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is 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 Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:
Amimi naw, “Judah khaw, Bethlehema hmi khaia Sahma naw a yuk ni” ti lü ami pyen.
6 And you, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, you are by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of you will come One leading, who will feed 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, having called the magi privately, inquired exactly from them the time of the appearing star,
Acunüng, Herod naw khyang kthem he cun angmpyua jah khü lü, aisi angdang lawa kcün cun angsinga a jah kthäh.
8 and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, “Having gone—inquire exactly for the Child, and whenever you may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may worship Him.”
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 And they, having heard the king, departed, and behold, the star, that they saw in the east, went before them, until, having come, it stood over where the 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 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy,
11 and having come into the house, they found the Child with His mother Mary, and having fallen down they worshiped Him, and having 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 having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
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 on their having withdrawn, behold, a messenger of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, “Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and flee to Egypt, and be there until I may speak to you, for Herod is about to seek the 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 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
Acuna mthan üng Josep cun tho law lü, naca ja a nu jah cehpüi lü Egypt pea dawngki.
15 and he was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt 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, having seen that he was deceived by the magi, was very angry, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from the magi.
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 Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Acukba sahma Jeramih naw ahlana a na pyen law küm lawki ni.
18 “A voice in Ramah was heard—weeping and much mourning—Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she 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 And Herod having died, behold, a messenger 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, “Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and be going to the land of Israel, for they have died—those seeking the life of the Child.”
“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, having risen, took the Child and His mother, and came to the land of Israel,
Acunüng, Josep cun tho law lü hnasen ja a nu jah cehpüi lü Isarel khyawngpe da cit beki.
22 and having heard that Archelaus reigns over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to 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 coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the Prophets, that “He will 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.
