Matthew 2
1 Now after the birth of Jesus, which took place at Bethlehem in Judaea in the reign of King Herod, excitement was produced in Jerusalem by the arrival of certain Magi from the east,
A HANAUIA o Iesu ma Betelehema i Iudea, i ke kau ia Herode ke alii, aia hoi, kele mai la na magoi mai ka aina hikina mai a Ierusalema,
2 inquiring, "Where is the newly born king of the Jews? For we have seen his Star in the east, and have come here to do him homage."
I ka i ana mai, Ai la ihea ka mea i hanau iho nei i aliii no ka poe Iudaio? No ka mea, ua ike makou ma ka aina hikina i kona hoku, a ua hele mai nei makou e kukuli hoomaikai ia ia.
3 Reports of this soon reached the king, and greatly agitated not only him but all the people of Jerusalem.
A lohe ae la o Herode ke alii, apoapo ae la kona oili, oia a me ko Ierusalema a pau.
4 So he assembled all the High Priests and Scribes of the people, and anxiously asked them where the Christ was to be born.
Alaila, houluulu ae la ia i ka poe kahuna nui a me ka poe kakauolelo a na kanaka, ninau mai la oia ia lakou, Ai la ihea kahi e hanau ai o ka Mesia?
5 "At Bethlehem in Judaea," they replied; "for so it stands written in the words of the Prophet,
Hai aku la lakou ia ia, Aia i Betelehema i Indea nei; no ka mea, ua palapalaia e ke kaula penei,
6 "'And thou, Bethlehem in the land of Judah, by no means the least honorable art thou among princely places in Judah! For from thee shall come a prince--one who shall be the Shepherd of My People Israel.'"
O oe, e Betelehema, i ka aina o Iuda, aole no oe ka mea uuku loa iwaena o ko Iuda poe alii; no ka mea, mailoko mai ou e hele mai ana kekahi alii, nana e hoomalu i ko'u poe kanaka o ka Iseraela.
7 Thereupon Herod sent privately for the Magi and ascertained from them the exact time of the star's appearing.
Alaila, kii malu aku la o Herode i ua mau magoi la, ninau pono aku la ia lakou i maopopo ai ka manawa i ikea aku ai ua hoku la.
8 He then directed them to go to Bethlehem, adding, "Go and make careful inquiry about the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and do him homage."
Hoouna aku la oia ia lakou i Betelehema, i aku la, Ou haele oukou, e imi pono aku i ua keiki la; a loaa hoi, alaila e hai mai ia'u, i hele aku hoi au e kukuli hoomaikai ia ia.
9 After hearing what the king said, they went to Bethlehem, while, strange to say, the star they had seen in the east led them on until it came and stood over the place where the babe was.
A lohe ae la i ka ke alii, haele aku la lakou; aia hoi, ka hoku a lakou i ike ai ma ka aina hikina, lele e aku la ia imua o lakou, a hele aku la, a kau iho la maluna pono o kahi e noho ana o ua keiki la,
10 When they saw the star, the sight filled them with intense joy.
A ike aku lakou i ua hoku la, hauoli nui loa ae la lakou.
11 So they entered the house; and when they saw the babe with His mother Mary, they prostrated themselves and did Him homage, and opening their treasure-chests offered gifts to Him--gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Komo lakou iloko o ka hale, a ike aku la i ua keiki la a me kona makuwahine o Maria, a moe iho la lakou, hoomaikai aku la ia ia; a wehe ae la lakou i ko lakou waihona waiwai, haawi aku la lakou nana i ke gula, a me ka libano, a me ka mura.
12 But being forbidden by God in a dream to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by a different route.
A ma ka moeuhane, papaia mai lakou, aole e hoi bou aku io Herode la, a ma kekahi alanui e ae i hoi aku ai lakou i ko lakou aina.
13 When they were gone, and angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise: take the babe and His mother and escape to Egypt, and remain there till I bring you word. For Herod is about to make search for the child in order to destroy Him."
A hala aku la lakou, aia hoi, ikea aku la ka anela a ka Haku e Iosepa i ka moeuhane, i mai la, E ala, e lawe i ke keiki a me kona makuwahine, a holo aku i Aigupita; malaila e noho ai, a olelo hon aku au ia oe; no ka mea, e imi mai ana o Herode i ke keiki, e pepehi ia ia.
14 So Joseph roused himself and took the babe and His mother by night and departed into Egypt.
Ala ae la ia, lawe ae la i ke keiki a me kona makuwahine i ka po, a holo aku la i Aigupita;
15 There he remained till Herod's death, that what the Lord had said through the Prophet might be fulfilled, "Out of Egypt I called My Son."
Malaila ia i noho ai a make o Herode. Nolaila, ko ae la ka olelo a ka Haku ma ke kaula, i ka i ana mai, Ua kahea aku au i ka'u keiki mai Aigupita mai.
16 Then Herod, finding that the Magi had trifled with him, was furious, and sent and massacred all the boys under two years of age, in Bethlehem and all its neighbourhood, according to the date he had so carefully ascertained from the Magi.
Alaila, ike ae la o Herode, ua hoohokaia oia e ka poe magoi, ukiuki loa iho la ia, kena aku la ia, a luku aku la i na keikikane a pau o Betelehema, a o na wahi a puni e kokoke ana, i ka poe elua makahiki a hala ilalo, i ka manawa i ninau pono aku ai ia i ka poe magoi.
17 Then were these words, spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah, fulfilled,
Alaila, ko ae la ka olelo a ke kaula a Ieretnia, i i mai ai,
18 "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and bitter lamentation: It was Rachel bewailing her children, and she refused to be comforted because there were no more."
Ua lohea ka leo ma Rama, he pihe, he uwe ana, a me ke kanikau nui; e uwe ana o Rahela no kana mau keiki, aole loa ia e na, no ka mea, aole ae nei lakou.
19 But after Herod's death an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said to him,
A make o Herode, alaila ikea aku la kekahi anela a ka Haku e Iosepa ma ka moeuhane i Aigupita;
20 "Rise from sleep, and take the child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child's life are dead."
I mai la, E ala oe e lawe i ke keiki a me kona makuwahine, a e hoi aku i ka aina o ka Iseraela; no ka mea, ua make ka poe i imi mai e pepehi i ua keiki nei.
21 So he roused himself and took the child and His mother and came into the land of Israel.
Ala'e la ia, lawe ae la i ua keiki la, a me kona makuwahine, a hele aku la i ka aina o ka Iseraela.
22 But hearing that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod on the throne of Judaea, he was afraid to go there; and being instructed by God in a dream he withdrew into Galilee,
Aka, lohe ae la ia, o Arekelau ke alii ma ludea i pani no ka hakahaka o kona makuakane o Herode, makau iho la ia i ka hele aku malaila: a aoia mai ai ma ka moeuhane, hoi aku ia i ka moku o Galilaia.
23 and went and settled in a town called Nazareth, in order that these words spoken through the Prophets might be fulfilled, "He shall be called a Nazarene."
A hiki aku la ia i kekahi kulanakauhale o Nazareta ka inoa, noho iho la ia ilaila: pela i ko ai ka olelo a ka poe kaula, E kapaia oia he Nazarene.
