< Matthew 2 >

1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east arrived in Jerusalem,
Iayo cenean bada Iesus Bethlehem Iudeacoan regue Herodesen demborán, huná, Çuhurrac Orientetic ethor citecen Ierusalemera,
2 saying, “Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”
Cioitela, Non da Iuduén regue iayo dena? ecen ikussi dugu haren içarra Orientean, eta ethorri gara hura adora deçagunçat.
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Bada regue Herodes ençunic hori trubla cedin, eta Ierusaleme gucia harequin.
4 So he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
Eta bilduric Sacrificadore principal guciac eta populuaren Scribác, informa cedin hetaric non Christ sortzeco cen.
5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet,
Eta hec erran cieçoten, Bethlehem Iudeacoan, ecen hunela scribatua duc Prophetáz,
6 ‘But yoʋ Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from yoʋ will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
Eta hi Bethlehem Iudaco lurrá, ezaiz Iudaco gobernadorén arteco chipiena, ecen hireganic ilkiren duc, Israel ene populua bazcaturen duen gobernadorea.
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared.
Orduan Herodes secretuqui Çuhurrac deithuric informa cedin hetaric diligentqui, içarra aguertu içan çayen demboráz:
8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word so that I too may go and worship him.”
Eta hec Bethlehemerat igorriric, erran cieçén, Ioanic informa çaitezte diligentqui haourtchoaz: eta eriden duqueçuenean, iaquin eraci ieçadacue, nic-ere ethorriric adora deçadan hura.
9 They listened to the king and went on their way, and behold, the star they had seen in the east went before them until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.
Hec bada reguea ençunic parti citecen: eta huná, Orientean ikussi vkan çuten içarra hayén aitzinean ioaiten cen, haourtchoa cen lekuaren gainera ethorriric gueldi cedino.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Eta içarra ikussiric bozcario handiz boz citecen haguitz.
11 As they came into the house and saw the child with his mother Mary, they fell down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Eta etchera sarthuric eriden ceçaten haourtchoa bere ama Mariarequin: eta ahozpez adora ceçaten hura, eta bere thesaurac desplegaturic presenta cietzoten estrenác, vrrhe, encensu, eta myrrha.
12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their own country by another way.
Eta diuinoqui ametsetan aduertitu içanic ezlitecen Herodesgana itzul, berce bidez retira citecen bere comarcarát.
13 After they were gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell yoʋ, for Herod is about to seek the child, to destroy him.”
Bada hec retiratu eta, huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä aguertzen çayó Iosephi, dioela, Iaiquiric har itzac haourtchoa eta haren ama, eta ihes eguic Egyptera: eta aicén han nic darraqueadano: ecen Herodesec bilhaturen dic haourtchoa hiltzeco.
14 So Joseph rose, took the child and his mother by night, and departed for Egypt,
Iosephec bada iratzarri eta, har citzan haourtchoa eta haren ama gauaz, eta retira cedin Egyptera.
15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
Eta egon cedin han Herodesen finerano, Iaunac Prophetáz erran çuena compli ledinçát, cioela Egyptetic deithu vkan dut neure Semea.
16 When Herod saw that he had been fooled by the wise men, he was greatly enraged and sent men to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and in its vicinity who were two years old and under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men.
Orduan Herodesec ikussiric nola Çuhurréz enganatu içan cen, asserre cedin haguitz: eta bere gendea igorriric hil citzan Bethlehemen eta haren aldiri gucietan ciraden haour bi vrthetaco eta behereco guciac, Çuhurretaric diligentqui informatu içan cen demboraren araura.
17 Then what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
Orduan compli cedin Iaunac Hieremias Prophetáz erran vkan çuena, cioela,
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing, weeping, and great lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and she refused to be comforted, because they are no more.”
Voza Rhaman ençun içan da, deithore eta nigar eta auhen handi. Rachel bere haourracgatic nigarrez egon, eta ezta consolatu nahi içan, ceren eztiraden.
19 After Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Baina Herodes hil eta, huná, Iaunaren Aingueruä aguer cequión ametsetan Iosephi Egypten,
20 saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child's life are dead.”
Cioela, iaiquiric har itzac haourtchoa eta haren ama eta ioan adi Israeleco lurrerát, ecen haourtchoaren arimaren ondoan çabiltzanac hil içan dituc.
21 So Joseph rose, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
Harc bada iratzarri eta, har citzan haourtchoa eta haren ama, eta ethor cedin Israeleco lurrera.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee
Baina ençunic ecen Archelausec regnatzen çuela Iudean bere aita Herodesen lekuan, beldur cedin hara ioaitera: eta ametsetan diuinoqui aduertituric retira cedin Galileaco bazterretarát.
23 and came and dwelt in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
Eta hara ethorriric habita cedin Nazareth deitzen den hirian: Prophetéz erran içan cena compli ledinçat, ecen Nazareno deithuren cela.
