Matthew 2
1 After the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod, lo! certain Magi arrived in Jerusalem, saying.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a bí Jesu ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu ti Judea, ni àkókò ọba Herodu, àwọn amòye ti ìlà-oòrùn wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
2 "Where is the new-born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him."
Wọ́n si béèrè pé, “Níbo ni ẹni náà tí a bí tí í ṣe ọba àwọn Júù wà? Àwa ti rí ìràwọ̀ rẹ̀ ní ìlà-oòrùn, a sì wá láti foríbalẹ̀ fún un.”
3 When King Herod heard this he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Nígbà tí ọba Herodu sì gbọ́ èyí, ìdààmú bá a àti gbogbo àwọn ara Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
4 So when he had gathered together all the chief priests and rabbis of the people, he began to inquire of them where the Christ was to be born.
Nígbà tí ó sì pe àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin jọ, ó bi wọ́n léèrè níbi ti a ó gbé bí Kristi?
5 And they told him. "At Bethlehem in Judea, as it is written in the prophet.
Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu ti Judea, èyí ni ohun tí wòlíì ti kọ ìwé rẹ̀ pé,
6 "And thou Bethlehem in the land of Judah, Thou are not least among the princes of Judah, For out of thee shall come a ruler Who shall shepherd my people, Israel."
“‘Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ Bẹtilẹhẹmu, ní ilẹ̀ Judea, ìwọ kò kéré jù láàrín àwọn ọmọ-aládé Juda; nítorí láti inú rẹ ni Baálẹ̀ kan yóò ti jáde, ẹni ti yóò ṣe ìtọ́jú Israẹli, àwọn ènìyàn mi.’”
7 Thereupon Herod sent secretly for the Magi, and found out from them the time when the star appeared.
Nígbà náà ni Herodu ọba pe àwọn amòye náà sí ìkọ̀kọ̀, ó sì wádìí ni ọwọ́ wọn, àkókò náà gan an tí wọ́n kọ́kọ́ rí ìràwọ̀.
8 Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and make careful inquiry about the child, and as soon as you have found him bring me word, that I, too, may go and worship him."
Ó sì rán wọn lọ sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ lọ ṣe ìwádìí fínní fínní ní ti ọmọ náà tí a bí. Lẹ́yìn tí ẹ bá sì rí i, ẹ padà wá sọ fún mi, kí èmi náà le lọ foríbalẹ̀ fún un.”
9 The Magi listened to the king, and went on their way, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east led them until it came and stood over the place where the young child was.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ọba, wọ́n mú ọ̀nà wọn pọ̀n, sì wò ó, ìràwọ̀ tí wọ́n ti rí láti ìhà ìlà-oòrùn wá, ó ṣáájú wọn, títí tí ó fi dúró lókè ibi tí ọmọ náà gbé wà.
10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with great gladness.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì rí ìràwọ̀ náà, ayọ̀ kún ọkàn wọn.
11 When they had entered the house, they saw the child with Mary, his mother, and opening their treasure-chests they gave him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Bí wọ́n tí wọ inú ilé náà, wọn rí ọmọ ọwọ́ náà pẹ̀lú Maria ìyá rẹ̀, wọ́n wólẹ̀, wọ́n foríbalẹ̀ fún un. Nígbà náà ni wọ́n tú ìṣúra wọn, wọ́n sì ta Jesu lọ́rẹ: wúrà, tùràrí àti òjìá.
12 But because they were forbidden by God in a dream to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another route.
Nítorí pé Ọlọ́run ti kìlọ̀ fún wọn ní ojú àlá pé kí wọ́n má ṣe padà tọ Herodu lọ mọ́, wọ́n gba ọ̀nà mìíràn lọ sí ìlú wọn.
13 When they were gone an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying; "Rise! Take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and there remain until I bring you word; for Herod intends to make a search for the child, in order to put him to death."
Nígbà tí wọn ti lọ, angẹli Olúwa fi ara hàn Josẹfu ní ojú àlá pé, “Dìde, gbé ọmọ ọwọ́ náà àti ìyá rẹ̀, kí ó sì sálọ sí Ejibiti. Dúró níbẹ̀ títí tí èmi yóò fi sọ fún ọ, nítorí Herodu yóò wá ọ̀nà láti pa ọmọ ọwọ́ náà.”
14 So Joseph arose, took the child and his mother, by night, and departed to Egypt.
Nígbà náà ni ó sì dìde, ó mú ọmọ ọwọ́ náà àti ìyá rẹ̀ ní òru, ó sì lọ sí Ejibiti,
15 There he remained until the death of Herod, in order that the word of the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, Out of Egypt I called my son.
ó sì wà níbẹ̀ títí tí Herodu fi kú. Èyí jẹ́ ìmúṣẹ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ohun tí Olúwa sọ láti ẹnu wòlíì pé, “Mo pe ọmọ mi jáde láti Ejibiti wá.”
16 As soon as Herod saw that he had been mocked by the Magi, he was furious. He sent and put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and all the neighborhood who were two years old or under, in accordance with the date which he had ascertained from the Magi.
Nígbà tí Herodu rí í pé àwọn amòye náà ti tan òun jẹ, ó bínú gidigidi, ó sì pàṣẹ kí a pa gbogbo àwọn ọmọkùnrin tí ó wà ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu àti ní ẹkùn rẹ̀ láti àwọn ọmọ ọdún méjì sílẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bi àkókò tí ó ti fi ẹ̀sọ̀ ẹ̀sọ̀ béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn amòye náà.
17 Then were fulfilled the words spoken through Jeremiah, the prophet, saying,
Nígbà náà ni èyí tí a ti sọtẹ́lẹ̀ láti ẹnu wòlíì Jeremiah wá ṣẹ pé:
18 A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and lamentation- Rachel weeping for her children, Inconsolable, because they were no more!
“A gbọ́ ohùn kan ní Rama, ohùn réré ẹkún àti ọ̀fọ̀ ńlá, Rakeli ń sọkún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀. Ó kọ̀ láti gbìpẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ kò sí mọ́.”
19 But after Herod’s death an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Lẹ́yìn ikú Herodu, angẹli Olúwa fi ara hàn Josẹfu lójú àlá ní Ejibiti
20 saying, "Rise! Take the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the life of the child are dead."
Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Dìde gbé ọmọ ọwọ́ náà àti ìyá rẹ̀ padà sí ilẹ̀ Israẹli, nítorí àwọn tí ń wá ẹ̀mí ọmọ ọwọ́ náà láti pa ti kú.”
21 So he rose and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Nítorí náà, o sì dìde, ó gbé ọmọ ọwọ́ náà àti ìyá rẹ̀ ó sì wá sí ilẹ̀ Israẹli.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there; and being warned of God in a dream, he withdrew into Galilee and settled in a town called Nazareth,
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó gbọ́ pé Akelausi ni ó ń jẹ ọba ní Judea ní ipò Herodu baba rẹ̀, ó bẹ̀rù láti lọ sí ì bẹ̀. Nítorí tí Ọlọ́run ti kìlọ̀ fún un ní ojú àlá, ó yí padà, ó sì gba ẹkùn Galili lọ,
23 in fulfillment of the word spoken through the Prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
