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,
Aprè Jésus te fin fèt Bethléem nan peyi Judée pandan Hérode te wa, konsa yon ekip mesye saj ki sòti nan lès te rive Jérusalem pou mande;
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.”
“Kote sila ki fèt Wa a Jwif yo a? Nou gen tan wè zetwal Li nan pati lès la, e nou vini pou adore Li.”
3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,
Lè Hérode te tande sa, li te vin twouble, e tout Jérusalem avèk li.
4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.
Li te rasanble tout chèf prèt yo avèk skrib a pèp la, e te kòmanse mande yo kote Kris la t ap fèt la.
5 And they said to him, “In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:
Yo te di li: “Nan Bethléem a Judée jan li te ekri pa pwofèt la”;
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.”
“E ou menm, Bethléem, peyi Judée, ou pa manke valè pami chèf Judée yo: paske yon Gran Chèf k ap sòti nan ou menm, Li va vin yon bèje pou pèp Mwen an, Israël”.
7 Then Herod, having called the magi privately, inquired exactly from them the time of the appearing star,
Konsa, Hérode te rele mesye saj yo an sekrè pou fè yon ankèt egzakt pou konnen kilè zetwal la te parèt la.
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.”
Li te voye yo Bethléem e li te di yo: “Ale Chèche pou twouve Pitit la, e lè nou jwenn li, voye di m sa, pou m ka ale adore Li tou.”
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.
Lè yo fin tande wa a, yo ale fè wout yo, e konsa zetwal la ke yo te wè nan lès la, te ale devan yo jiskaske li te vin kanpe kote menm ke Pitit la te ye a.
10 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy,
Lè yo te wè zetwal la, yo te rejwi anpil avèk anpil jwa.
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,
Yo te ale nan kay la e te wè Pitit la avèk Marie, manman Li. Yo te pwostène devan Li pou te adore L. Yo te ouvri trezò yo e te prezante L kòm kado, lò, lansan, ak lami.
12 and having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
Men akoz ke yo te avèti nan yon rèv ke yo pa t dwe retounen kote Hérode, yo te ale nan peyi yo pa yon lòt wout.
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.”
Lè yo fin pati, lapoula yon zanj Bondye te vin parèt a Joseph nan yon rèv. Li te di l: “Leve pran Pitit la avèk manman L epi kouri ale an Égypte. Rete la jiskaske mwen di ou, paske Hérode ap chèche Zanfan sila a pou l ka detwi L.”
14 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
Joseph te leve pran Pitit la avèk manman L pandan nwit lan pou te ale an Égypte.
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.”
Li te rete la jiskaske Hérode te mouri. Sa te fèt pou akonpli sa Senyè a te pale pa pwofèt la pou li ta kapab akonpli lè l te di: “Pou soti an Égypte, Mwen te rele Fis Mwen an”.
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.
Lè Hérode te vin wè ke li te twonpe pa mesye saj yo, li te vin anraje. Konsa, li te voye touye tout ti gason mwens ke de zan nan tout anviwon Bethléem nan, selon tan li te vin konprann pa mesye saj yo.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Konsa, sa ki te pale pa pwofèt Jérémie an te vin akonpli lè l te di konsa:
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.”
“Yon vwa te tande nan Rama; yo te kriye e fè gwo lamantasyon. Rachel ki t ap kriye pou Pitit li yo; li te refize konsole, paske yo pa t la ankò.”
19 And Herod having died, behold, a messenger of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Men lè Hérode te vin mouri, yon zanj te parèt an Égypte pou di Joseph nan yon rèv:
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.”
“Leve, pran Pitit la avèk manman L pou ale nan peyi Israël, paske sila yo ki t ap chèche touye Pitit la gen tan mouri.”
21 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother, and came to the land of Israel,
Konsa Joseph te leve pran Pitit la avèk manman L, e te ale nan peyi Israël.
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,
Men lè li tande ke Archélaüs te gwo chèf nan Judée nan plas papa li, Hérode, li te pè ale la. Lè li te fin avèti pa Bondye nan yon rèv, li te sòti la, e te ale nan anviwon Galilée yo.
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.”
Li te vin rete nan yon vil yo rele Nazareth pou sa ke pwofèt yo te pale yo ta kapab akonpli: “Yo va rele Li yon Nazareyen”.
