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,
Herod ce sangpahrang na a awm awh Judah qam Bethlehem awh Jesu taw thang hy, cawh Khawlaw ben nakaw thlakcyikhqi ce Jerusalem na law uhy,
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.”
Judah thlangkhqi a sangpahrang ak thang ce hana a awm? Anih a aihchi ce khawlaw benna ka mi huh a dawngawh, anih bawk aham ka mik law ni” tina uhy.
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Ce ak awi ce Herod sangpahrang ing ang zaak awh ak kawpoek kyi hy, Jerusalem awh amik awm thlangkhqi boeih awm amik kawpoek kyi hy.
4 So he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
Khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw ca qeekungkhqi boeih ce khy khqi nawh Khrih a thangnaak kawi hyn ce sui sak khqi hy.
5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet,
Cekkhqi ing a venawh, “Judah qam Bethlehem khaw awh thang kaw: kawtih tawngha ing vemyihna ana qee hyt hawh hy;
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.’”
Nang Bethlehem, Judah qam khuiawh Judah ukkungkhqi anglakawh ak zawi soeih na am awm hyk ti. Ikawtih nak khui awhkawng ukkung law kawmsaw, anih ing kak thlang Israelkhqi ce uk kaw, tinawh qee hy,” tina uhy.
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared.
Cekcoengawh Herod ing thlakcyikhqi ce ang hyp na khy nawh aihchi dang pehy tice ak nep caana doet hy.
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.”
Cekcoengawh cekkhqi ce Bethlehem na tyi khqi hy; “Cet unawh naasen ce ak nep na sui law uh; nami huh awhtaw ning zaak law sak uh, kai ingawm cet nyng saw anih bawk lawt vang.” tina khi hy.
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.
Sangpahrang awi ce aming zaak coengawh cet uhy; cawh, khawlaw ben nakaw aihchi ce hu tlaih uhy, naasen a awmnaak hyn pha nawh ang dym hlan dy cekkhqi haiawh aihchi ce cet hy.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
A mingmih ing aihchi ami huh awh zeel soeih uhy.
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.
Ipkhui na lut unawh naasen ingkaw anu Meri ce ami huh awh koep unawh bawk uhy. Ami a khawhbawm ce awng unawh; sui, frankinsen bawktui ingkaw mura ce pe uhy.
12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their own country by another way.
Herod a venna a maming hlatnaak voel aham Khawsa ing a ming mang awh awi ak kqawn peek khqi a dawngawh ak chang lam ben nakawng voei uhy.
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.”
A mingmih ami ceh coengawh Bawipa ak khan ceityih ing Joseph ang mang awh dang pe nawh, “Tho nawhtaw, naasen ingkaw anu ce Egypt qam na cen pyi hlah, awi kak kqawn law hlan dy taw cawh ana awm uh; Herod ing naasen ce him aham sui li hawh hy” tina hy.
14 So Joseph rose, took the child and his mother by night, and departed for Egypt,
Cawh anih ing tho nawh naasen ingkaw anu ce thawh nawh khawmthan awh Izip qam na cen pyi hy;
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.”
Herod a thih hlan dy taw cawh awm uhy: cetaw “Izip qam awhkawng ka capa ce khy nyng,” tinawh Bawipa ing a tawngha hawnaak ing ak kqawn ce a soepnaak aham ni.
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.
Thlakcyikhqi ing ni qaai na hawh pai moe uh, tice Herod ing a sim awhtaw, ak kaw so soeih hy, thlang tyi nawh Bethlehem khaw awh ak awm naasen boeih boeih ingkaw a khawceng awhkaw ak awm naasenkhqi boeih thlakcyikhqi a doetnaak nyn dy awhkaw kum hih awhkawng ak kai boeih ce him sak hy.
17 Then what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
Cawh ce Jeremiah ak awih kqawn soep hy.
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.”
Qamah khawk khuiawh lungnat zaaknaak, kqahnaak ingkaw khy ang kqangnaak ce awm hy, Rachel ing a cakhqi ce kqah hy, a cakhqi ama awm voel hawh a dawngawh, ang ngaihqepnaak am awm voel hy”.
19 After Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Cehlai Herod ce a thih coengawh Izip qam awh ak awm Joseph ang mang awh Bawipa ak khan ceityih ce dang pe nawh; a venawh,
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.”
Tho lah, naaca ce lo nawh Israel qam na cehpyi hlah: naaca him aham ak suikung ce thi hawh hy,” tina hy.
21 So Joseph rose, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
Tho nawh naaca ingkaw a nu ce a lawh coengawh, Israel qam na hlat pyi hy.
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
Cehlai Arkhelaus ing a pa Herod ang zyng na, Judah qam awh boei na awm hy tice ang zaak awh, ce benna ceh aham kqih hy, ang mang awh Khawsa ing qalqiingnaak awi ak kqawn peek amyihna, Kalili qam benna ce cet hy.
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.”
Nazareth ami ti khaw pynoet na ce cet nawh cawh ce awm hy. “Nazareth thlang tinawh khy kawm uh,” tinawh tawnghakhqi ing ami nak kqawn awi ce a soepnaak aham ce amyihna awm hy.
