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.
Jezuz o vezañ bet ganet e Betlehem Judea, en amzer ar roue Herodez, setu e teuas majed eus ar sav-heol da Jeruzalem, en ur lavarout:
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.”
Pelec'h emañ an hini a zo ganet da roue d'ar Yuzevien? Rak gwelet hon eus e steredenn er sav-heol, ha deuet omp d'e azeuliñ.
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].
Pa glevas ar roue Herodez kement-se, e voe trubuilhet, hag holl Jeruzalem gantañ.
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.
O vezañ dastumet an holl veleien vras ha skribed ar bobl, e c'houlennas diganto pelec'h e tlee bezañ ganet ar C'hrist.
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]:
Int a lavaras dezhañ: E Betlehem Judea; rak evel-henn eo bet skrivet gant ar profed:
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.’”
Ha te, Betlehem, douar Judea, n'out ket an disterañ e-touez kêrioù pennañ Judea; rak ac'hanout eo, e teuio ur penn a reno va fobl 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].
Neuze Herodez, o vezañ galvet ar majed e-kuzh, a c'houlennas gant preder diganto e pe amzer e oa en em ziskouezet ar steredenn dezho.
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.”
Hag, o kas anezho da Vetlehem, e lavaras: It, ha goulennit gant preder pelec'h emañ ar bugel bihan-se; ha pa ho po e gavet, roit din da anavezout, evit ma'z in me ivez d'e azeuliñ.
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.
Ar re-mañ, goude bezañ klevet ar roue, a yeas kuit; ha setu, ar steredenn o devoa gwelet er sav-heol, a yae en o raok, betek ma teuas ha ma chomas a-us d'ul lec'h ma oa ar bugel bihan.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced greatly [and followed it].
Pa weljont ar steredenn, e voe karget o c'halonoù gant levenez.
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.
O vezañ aet en ti, e kavjont ar bugel gant Mari e vamm, hag, oc'h en em stouiñ d'an douar, ec'h azeuljont anezhañ; ha goude bezañ digoret o zeñzorioù, e kinnigjont dezhañ profoù: aour, ezañs ha mir.
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.
O vezañ bet aliet gant Doue, dre un huñvre, ne zistrojont ket da gavout Herodez; mont a rejont d'o bro dre un hent all.
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.”
Goude ma oant aet kuit, setu, un ael eus an Aotrou en em ziskouezas da Jozef, dre un huñvre, en ur lavarout: Sav, kemer ar bugel hag e vamm, tec'h en Ejipt, ha chom eno betek e lavarin dit; rak Herodez a glasko ar bugel evit e lakaat d'ar marv.
14 So Joseph got up, he took the child and his mother [that] night, and they fled to Egypt.
Eñ, o vezañ savet, a gemeras ar bugel bihan hag e vamm e-pad an noz, hag en em dennas en Ejipt.
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.
Hag e chomas eno betek ma varvas Herodez, evit ma vije peurc'hraet ar pezh en devoa an Aotrou lavaret dre ar profed: Galvet em eus va mab eus Ejipt.
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].
Neuze Herodez, o welout o devoa ar majed graet goap anezhañ, a voe en ur gounnar vras, hag a gasas da lazhañ an holl vugale a zaou vloaz ha yaouankoc'h, e Betlehem hag en e vro a-bezh, hervez an amzer en devoa goulennet gant preder digant ar vajed.
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,
Neuze e voe peurc'hraet ar pezh a oa bet lavaret gant ar profed Jeremia:
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.
Garmoù a zo bet klevet e Rama, hirvoudoù, gouelvan ha klemmvanoù bras: Rachel o ouelañ he bugale; ne fellas ket dezhi bezañ dic'hlac'haret, abalamour n'emaint mui.
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.
Goude marv Herodez, setu, un ael eus an Aotrou en em ziskouezas da Jozef en Ejipt, dre un huñvre, o lavarout:
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.”
Sav, kemer ar bugel bihan hag e vamm, ha distro da vro-Israel, rak ar re a glaske ar bugel evit e lazhañ, a zo marv.
21 So Joseph took the child and his mother, and they went back to Israel.
Hemañ, o vezañ savet, a gemeras ar bugel hag e vamm, hag a zeuas e bro-Israel.
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]
Met, pa glevas e rene Arkelauz e Judea e-lec'h e dad Herodez, en devoe aon da vont di; o vezañ bet aliet gant Doue dre un huñvre, en em dennas e kostezioù Galilea.
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}.
Chom a reas en ur gêr anvet Nazared, evit ma vije peurc'hraet ar pezh a oa bet lavaret gant ar brofeded: Galvet e vo Nazaredad.
