Matthew 2
1 Jesus was born in Bethlehem [town] in Judea [province] during the time [MTY] that King Herod [the Great ruled there. Some time] after Jesus was born, some men who studied the stars and who lived in a [country] east [of Judea] came to Jerusalem.
JESUS otai'pokaiisi Bethlehem, auŏsĭn'ĭm Judæa, annists'ĭsk ksĭstsiku'ĭstsk, Herod otsĭtsĭnaiipi, Satsik, mokŏk'ietappix umut'autstsipi apinŏk'kuyi itsipuk'sipuiau Jerusalem,
2 They asked [people], “Where is the one who has been born [in order that he might be] the king of [you] Jews? [We believe that your new king] has been born, because we have seen the star [that we believe indicated that] he has been [born]. [We saw it while we were in our country] east [of here]. So we have come to worship him.”
An'iau, ŭnan'ŏk manipok'auŏk Jews otsĭn'aimoaiauaie? Tŭkkă, annim' apinŏk'kuyi stai'tappiosi nitsĭno'ŭnan okŏkatosim, ki nimut'otopĭnan nŏk'itauatsĭmmimmŏsĭnan.
3 When King Herod heard [what those men were asking], he became worried [that someone else might be proclaimed] {[people might proclaim someone else]} [king of the Jews to replace him]. Many [of the people] of Jerusalem [MTY, HYP] [also] became worried [because they were afraid of what King Herod might do].
Herod omŭx'ina otokh'tsĭsaie, otap'itsi-tanaie, ki Jerusalem ĭstokŏnai'tappix ikŏno-nokap'aitsitamiuax.
4 Then Herod gathered together all the ruling priests and men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws and he asked them where [the prophets had predicted that] the Messiah was to be born.
Ikŏnaumoi'piŭsax omŭk'atoiapiekuax ki ai'sĭnakix, sŭppoŏttsesattsiuax Christ mŏk'itsipokaiipiaie.
5 They said to him, “[He will be born] in Bethlehem, [here] in Judea [province], because it was written by the prophet [Micah] {the prophet [Micah] wrote} [long ago what God said]:
Ki an'ĭstsiauaie, Bethlehem, Judæa ĭstauŏsĭn'im, ŭn'nimaie; ŭn'anĭstappi prophet osĭn'aksĭn;
6 ‘You [who live in] Bethlehem [APO], in Judea [province], your town is certainly very important [LIT], because a man from your [town] will become a ruler. He will guide my people [who live in] Israel.’”
Ki ksĕsto'a Bethlehem, Judæa ĭstauŏsĭn'im, kimats'inŭkstsipuaua, Judah ĭstsĭn'ax; Nin'auŏk, ksesto'a ak'itsĭstauasiu ki osto'i ai'akaukŏkitsĭmau nitsitappim'ĭx Israel.
7 Then [King] Herod secretly summoned those men who studied the stars. He asked them exactly when the star [first] appeared. [By what they told him, he was able to know the approximate age of the baby].
Herod, sĭmi'nikŏtŭssax mokŏk'ietappix, sokap'sŭppoŏtsesattsiuax otsokap'ĭnŏkuyisaie kŏkatosi.
8 Then he [concealed what he really planned to do and] said to them, “Go to Bethlehem and inquire thoroughly [where] the infant is. When you have found him, [come back and] report to me so that I, myself, can go [there and] worship him, too.”
Ki itŭpŭt'okŏttsiuax Bethlehem; kian'iu, kŭkko' sokap'apsŭmmok pokau'ŏk; ki ikonoainoeniki, itŭm'ŭtskĭtsĭnikokĭk nŏk'itsitotosi nŏk'it a tsĭm mĭm mosi.
9 After the men heard what the king [told them], they went [toward Bethlehem]. To their surprise, the star that they had seen while they were in the eastern [country] went ahead of them [again] until it stood above [the house] where the child was.
Otokh'tsĭsau omŭxina otan'iipiaie, itsĭs'tapuiau; ki satĭsk, anni'isk kŏk'atosiĭsk otsitsinoauaiĭsk umut'autstsipi apinŏk'uyi otsitom'akoaiauaie, ki otai'totosi inŭk'sipokai ot'sitaupipiaie itots'iketsipuyiuaie.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced greatly [and followed it].
Otsĭnno'ŏssauaie kŏk'atosi, eks'kamŭk otse'tametŭksuaii.
11 They [found] the house and entered it and saw the child and his mother, Mary. They bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasure [boxes] [MTY] and they gave gold, [costly] frankincense, and myrrh to him.
Ki otaitsipĭs'sau nap'ioyĭs, Mary oksis'tsi ipĭnnu'yiauaie pokai'ĭsk, ki ĭnnĭssi'iau, ki itatsĭm'mĭmmiau: ki otaipasuk'ĭnĭssauĕsts otakomŭtskotuksuauĕsts, ĭssak'okotsiauaie gold ki frankincense ki myrrh.
12 [Because] God [knew that King Herod planned to kill Jesus], in a dream the men who studied the stars were warned {he warned the men who studied the stars} that they should not return to [King] Herod. So they returned to their country, [but instead of traveling back on the same road, they] went on a different road.
Ap'ĭstotokiuă papaukŏkianĭstcsax mŏkstaiskĭto'tosau, noke'tsi moksokui itŭp'akaiiau.
13 After the men who studied the stars left [Bethlehem], an angel [from] the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. He said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you [(sg) that you should leave], because [King] Herod is about [to send soldiers] to look for the child so that they can kill him.”
Ki otau'mattosau, satsĭk, Ap'ĭstotokiuă sto'tokatatscs papauta'atsiuaie Joseph, an'ĭsitouaie, Nipuat', ki mattos'au pokau' ki oksĭs'tsi ki ikŭm'itappoat Egypt, ki stau'pit ki kĭtak'otŭmanĭsto; tŭk'kă, Herod ai'akapsŭmmiuaie inŭk'sipokau mŏks'enitŏsaie.
14 So Joseph got up, he took the child and his mother [that] night, and they fled to Egypt.
Otai'puawksi, sepiai'akotuyiuax inŭk'sipokau ki oksĭs'tsi ki Egypt itŭp'itappoiau:
15 They stayed there until [King] Herod died, [and then they left Egypt]. By doing that, it was {they} fulfilled what the prophet [Hosea] wrote, which had been said by the Lord {which the Lord had said}, I have told my son to come out of Egypt.
Ki itau'piuaie otai'ĭnsaie Herod, mŏksenŭp'anĭstosi Ap'ĭstotokiuă otse'poawsĭn, otsiprophet i totsi'uaie, Egypt, ŭn'nimaie nitsĭt' ŭtŭmmau noko'a.
16 [While King] Herod [was still living], because he realized that he had been tricked by the men who studied the stars {the men who studied the stars had tricked him}, he became furious. Then, [assuming that Jesus was still in Bethlehem or the surrounding regions], Herod sent [soldiers there] to kill all the boy babies two years old and younger. [Herod calculated how old the baby was], according to what the men who studied the stars told him [about when the star first appeared].
Herod, otai'noŏsax mokŏk'ietappix otap'apĭstotoyĭsax, eks'kaiĭstsetŭkkiu, ki itŭp'otokŏttsiuax (otsen'nakemix) Bethlehem ki sa'akapotsim, ai'stokistuyimix sŏk'umappix ikŏn'ainĭttsiauax; kŭttaistoki'stuyimix sŏk'umappix mat'okŏnainittsiauax, umut'otsksĭnippi otsokap'sŭppoŏtsesattŭsax mokŏk'ietappix.
17 [Because Bethlehem and Ramah towns were in the area where the descendants of Jacob’s wife Rachel lived, when soldiers killed the infant boys], they fulfilled what Jeremiah the prophet wrote,
Itŭm'enŭpanĭstomaie Jeremy prophet otse'poawsĭn otan'ipi,
18 [Women] in Ramah were weeping and wailing loudly. [Women who were the descendants] of Rachel, [the ancestor of the women there] [SYN], were grieving for [what happened to] their children. [Even though people tried to comfort them], they would not be comforted {stop mourning}, because their children were dead.
Epo'awsĭnni itsĭk'kitokhtsip Rama, asain'sĭnni ki aiĭm'motseisĭnni ki omŭkoyesĭnni, Rachel o'kosix itau'asŭniu ki matokuikiawpĭketŭkkiu'ats, tŭkkă, itsen'iau.
19 After Herod died [and while Joseph and his family were still in Egypt], an angel that the Lord [had sent] appeared to Joseph in Egypt in a dream.
Herod otse'ĭnsi, sat'sĭk, Ap'istotokiuă oto'tokatatsĭs Joseph otsipapau'takaie, Egypt otsitai'tappiisaie.
20 He said to Joseph, “Take the child and his mother and go back to Israel [to live], because the people who were looking for the child [in order to kill him] have died.”
An'ĭstsiuaie, Nipuat'ki mattos'au inŭk'sipokau ki oksĭs'tsi, ki itŭp'itappoat Israel istau'ŏsĭnĭm; tŭk'kă ini'au anniks'isk ap'ŭssummiiskaie otsipai'tappiisĭnni.
21 So Joseph took the child and his mother, and they went back to Israel.
Ki itsipuau ki aiako'tuyiuax pokau'a ki o ksĭs'tsi, ki Israel ĭstauŏsĭn'im ito'to.
22 When Joseph heard that Archaelaus now ruled in Judea [district] instead of his father, [King] Herod [the Great], he was afraid to go there. Because he was warned {[God] warned Joseph} in a dream [that it was still dangerous for them to live in Judea], he [and Mary and Jesus] went to Galilee [District]
Ki otokh'tsĭssi Archelaus otau'atsuaiitsitapai'naiisi un'ni otsĭn'naiisĭnni, ĭsstŭn'ĭmaie mŏk'ĭttapposaie; ki Ap'ĭstotokiuă otsipapauanĭstosaie, Galilee itanĭs'tŭpitappo:
23 to Nazareth [to live there]. The result was that what had been said by the ancient prophets {what the ancient prophets had said} [about the Messiah], that he would be called {people would call him} a Nazareth-man, was fulfilled {came true}.
Ki akapioyis, Nazareth anĭstau, ito'to kiitoko'yiu; mŏkenŭpanĭstosaie prophetix otan'iipiax, akanĭstai'nikŏttau Nazaren'aikuŭn.
