Matthew 2
1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to 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 he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen 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 had heard these things, 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 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he enquired of them where the Christ should be born.
Khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw ca qeekungkhqi boeih ce khy khqi nawh Khrih a thangnaak kawi hyn ce sui sak khqi hy.
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus 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 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule 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, when he had secretly called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Cekcoengawh Herod ing thlakcyikhqi ce ang hyp na khy nawh aihchi dang pehy tice ak nep caana doet hy.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
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 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young 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 exceeding great joy.
A mingmih ing aihchi ami huh awh zeel soeih uhy.
11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts; gold, and 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 by God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country 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 And when they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young 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 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
Cawh anih ing tho nawh naasen ingkaw anu ce thawh nawh khawmthan awh Izip qam na cen pyi hy;
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have 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 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceeding angry, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its surrounding lands, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of 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 was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Cawh ce Jeremiah ak awih kqawn soep hy.
18 In Ramah was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
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 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth 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, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead who sought the young child’s life.
Tho lah, naaca ce lo nawh Israel qam na cehpyi hlah: naaca him aham ak suikung ce thi hawh hy,” tina hy.
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into 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 in Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there: however, being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts 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 he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall 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.
