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.
Nugúso Herodis dúr, Yihud datsatse daatseyiru Betelihem kitutse Iyesus b́shuweyiye hakon, k'eeni jango danfwots aaw keshomande Iyerusalem maants boweyi.
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.”
Hank'o etnwere bo aati, «Shuwets Ayhudi nugúso aawoke? B́ k'eeno aawkeshon bek'aat bísh sagadosh waarone.»
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].
Nugúso man b́shishtsok'on tek' b́wtsi, Iyerusalem ashjamonwere bínton tek'bowtsi,
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.
Kahni naash jamwotsntonat ashuwotsitse nemo danifwotsi kakudek't, Krstos b́shuwetwo aawk'on b́wottsok'o boon bí aati.
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]:
Bowere hank'o ett bísh bo aaniyi «Nebiyiyon hank'o etts bek'o guut'etsotse, Krstos b́shuwet Yihud datsatse Betelem kitotsnee,
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.’”
‹Yihud dats kayotse daatseyiru Betelemee! Ti ash asho Isra'eli korde'er jishitwo n datsatse b́keshetwotse, Yhuditsi kit een eenwotsiyere eegonoru dasheratsne.› »
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].
Maniyere il Herodis k'eeni jango danfmanotsi ááshon s'eegidek't, k'eenman awr b́ be'etsok'o arikon aatt danbdek'i.
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.”
Hank'o ettnwere Betelem maants boon woshb́k'ri «Amr na'o jango t'iwintsde danere, bín itdatstsok'onowere taawere amr bísh tsagaditwok'o waar taash keewwere.»
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.
Bowere Nugúso aap'o booshishihakon kesht boami, eshe! aawkeshon bobek'ts k'eeno na'i marmat'o b́beyirwok b́ned'efetsosh bo shinshinatse sha'efetst boon b́jishi.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced greatly [and followed it].
K'eenman bobek'tsok'on ayidek't gene'ubowtsi,
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.
Mootsowere kindt na'i marmat'o bí'ind Mariyamnton b́befere bobek'i, b́shinats gúp gúp'at bosagadi, bo sat'nonowere k'eshdek't aawntso, it'anonat kerbeya etef shak' shaawo bísh bot'intsi.
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.
Herodis maantsowere bo aanerawok'o Ik'o gúmon boosh b́keewtsotse k'osh weerindon bodatsomand aanat k'azboami.
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.”
K'eeni jango danfwots boamiyakon, doonzo melakiyo Yosefats gúmon be'eyat, «Herodis na'i marmat'o úd'osh b́geyirwotse, tuur na'i marmat'o indunton de'er Gbs'maand k'ay amee, neesh tkeewfetsonowere manoke betee» bí eti.
14 So Joseph got up, he took the child and his mother [that] night, and they fled to Egypt.
Mann Yosef t'úwon tuut na'i marmato bí índnton dek't Gbs'maand k'az bíami.
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.

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].

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,
Manoor nebiyiyo Ermiyasn hank'o ett bek'on keewetso b́s'eeni.
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.
«Rahel b nana'úwotssh bieep'fere, Kuhonat s'aamts eepi k'aaro Ramayitse b́ shisheyi Bnana'uwots kashon bo altsotse kup'dek'o k'azraniye.»
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.
Herodis b́ k'irihakon Doonzo melakiyo Gbs'itse Yosefats gúmon be'eyat,
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.”
«Na'o kasho geyiru ashuwots bo kirtsotsnee tuur na'o indunton de'er Isra'el maants amee» bíet.
21 So Joseph took the child and his mother, and they went back to Israel.
Yosefwere tuut na'o indúnton Isra'elmants dek't bíaani.
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]

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}.
