Matthew 2
1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, learned men from the east arrived in Jerusalem saying,
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a bí Jesu ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu ti Judea, ni àkókò ọba Herodu, àwọn amòye ti ìlà-oòrùn wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
2 “Where is he who was born King of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”
Wọ́n si béèrè pé, “Níbo ni ẹni náà tí a bí tí í ṣe ọba àwọn Júù wà? Àwa ti rí ìràwọ̀ rẹ̀ ní ìlà-oòrùn, a sì wá láti foríbalẹ̀ fún un.”
3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Nígbà tí ọba Herodu sì gbọ́ èyí, ìdààmú bá a àti gbogbo àwọn ara Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
4 Herod brought together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and he asked them, “Where is the Christ to be born?”
Nígbà tí ó sì pe àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin jọ, ó bi wọ́n léèrè níbi ti a ó gbé bí Kristi?
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is what was written by the prophet,
Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu ti Judea, èyí ni ohun tí wòlíì ti kọ ìwé rẹ̀ pé,
6 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the leaders of Judah, for from you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'”
“‘Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ Bẹtilẹhẹmu, ní ilẹ̀ Judea, ìwọ kò kéré jù láàrín àwọn ọmọ-aládé Juda; nítorí láti inú rẹ ni Baálẹ̀ kan yóò ti jáde, ẹni ti yóò ṣe ìtọ́jú Israẹli, àwọn ènìyàn mi.’”
7 Then Herod secretly called the learned men to ask them exactly what time the star had appeared.
Nígbà náà ni Herodu ọba pe àwọn amòye náà sí ìkọ̀kọ̀, ó sì wádìí ni ọwọ́ wọn, àkókò náà gan an tí wọ́n kọ́kọ́ rí ìràwọ̀.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search carefully for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
Ó sì rán wọn lọ sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ lọ ṣe ìwádìí fínní fínní ní ti ọmọ náà tí a bí. Lẹ́yìn tí ẹ bá sì rí i, ẹ padà wá sọ fún mi, kí èmi náà le lọ foríbalẹ̀ fún un.”
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star that they had seen in the east went before them until it came and stood still over where the young child was.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ọba, wọ́n mú ọ̀nà wọn pọ̀n, sì wò ó, ìràwọ̀ tí wọ́n ti rí láti ìhà ìlà-oòrùn wá, ó ṣáájú wọn, títí tí ó fi dúró lókè ibi tí ọmọ náà gbé wà.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì rí ìràwọ̀ náà, ayọ̀ kún ọkàn wọn.
11 They went into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother. They fell down and worshiped him. They opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Bí wọ́n tí wọ inú ilé náà, wọn rí ọmọ ọwọ́ náà pẹ̀lú Maria ìyá rẹ̀, wọ́n wólẹ̀, wọ́n foríbalẹ̀ fún un. Nígbà náà ni wọ́n tú ìṣúra wọn, wọ́n sì ta Jesu lọ́rẹ: wúrà, tùràrí àti òjìá.
12 God warned them in a dream not to return to Herod, so they departed to their own country by another way.
Nítorí pé Ọlọ́run ti kìlọ̀ fún wọn ní ojú àlá pé kí wọ́n má ṣe padà tọ Herodu lọ mọ́, wọ́n gba ọ̀nà mìíràn lọ sí ìlú wọn.
13 After they had departed, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the young child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Remain there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
Nígbà tí wọn ti lọ, angẹli Olúwa fi ara hàn Josẹfu ní ojú àlá pé, “Dìde, gbé ọmọ ọwọ́ náà àti ìyá rẹ̀, kí ó sì sálọ sí Ejibiti. Dúró níbẹ̀ títí tí èmi yóò fi sọ fún ọ, nítorí Herodu yóò wá ọ̀nà láti pa ọmọ ọwọ́ náà.”
14 That night Joseph rose and took the young child and his mother and departed into Egypt.
Nígbà náà ni ó sì dìde, ó mú ọmọ ọwọ́ náà àti ìyá rẹ̀ ní òru, ó sì lọ sí Ejibiti,
15 He remained there until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet, “Out of Egypt I have called my son.”
ó sì wà níbẹ̀ títí tí Herodu fi kú. Èyí jẹ́ ìmúṣẹ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ohun tí Olúwa sọ láti ẹnu wòlíì pé, “Mo pe ọmọ mi jáde láti Ejibiti wá.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been mocked by the learned men, was very angry. He sent and killed all the male children that were in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old and under, according to the time that he had determined exactly from the learned men.
Nígbà tí Herodu rí í pé àwọn amòye náà ti tan òun jẹ, ó bínú gidigidi, ó sì pàṣẹ kí a pa gbogbo àwọn ọmọkùnrin tí ó wà ní Bẹtilẹhẹmu àti ní ẹkùn rẹ̀ láti àwọn ọmọ ọdún méjì sílẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bi àkókò tí ó ti fi ẹ̀sọ̀ ẹ̀sọ̀ béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn amòye náà.
17 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet,
Nígbà náà ni èyí tí a ti sọtẹ́lẹ̀ láti ẹnu wòlíì Jeremiah wá ṣẹ pé:
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and she refused to be comforted, because they were no more.”
“A gbọ́ ohùn kan ní Rama, ohùn réré ẹkún àti ọ̀fọ̀ ńlá, Rakeli ń sọkún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀. Ó kọ̀ láti gbìpẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ kò sí mọ́.”
19 When Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said,
Lẹ́yìn ikú Herodu, angẹli Olúwa fi ara hàn Josẹfu lójú àlá ní Ejibiti
20 “Get up and take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.”
Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Dìde gbé ọmọ ọwọ́ náà àti ìyá rẹ̀ padà sí ilẹ̀ Israẹli, nítorí àwọn tí ń wá ẹ̀mí ọmọ ọwọ́ náà láti pa ti kú.”
21 Joseph rose, took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Nítorí náà, o sì dìde, ó gbé ọmọ ọwọ́ náà àti ìyá rẹ̀ ó sì wá sí ilẹ̀ Israẹli.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. After God warned him in a dream, he left for the region of Galilee
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó gbọ́ pé Akelausi ni ó ń jẹ ọba ní Judea ní ipò Herodu baba rẹ̀, ó bẹ̀rù láti lọ sí ì bẹ̀. Nítorí tí Ọlọ́run ti kìlọ̀ fún un ní ojú àlá, ó yí padà, ó sì gba ẹkùn Galili lọ,
23 and went and lived in a city called Nazareth. This fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.
