Matthew 2
1 Now when Yeshua was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
Herod Kumpi a sep lai in, Judah ngam Bethlehem khua ah Jesus a sua ciang in, nisuana sang pan mipil te Jerusalem ah hong theng uh a;
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
Hong suak Judah te Kumpipa koisung ah om ziam? Nisuana sang panin ama i aksi hong suak ka mu uh a, ama bia tu in hong theng khu hi, ci uh hi.
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Herod kumpipa in hi thu a zak ciang in ama le Jerusalem ah a om theampo linglawng ngawp uh hi.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Messiah would be born.
Herod in mipi te sung pan thiampi lian te le thukhamhil sya te kaikhawm in, Christ koisung a suak tu ziam? ci in dong hi.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Taciang amate in, Judah ngam Bethlehem khua ah hi tu hi: banghangziam cile kamsang khat i atkhol na ah,
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least amongst the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
Judah ngam sung a om, nang Bethlehem awng, Judah ngam uk te sung ah a nobel na hi bua hi: banghangziam cile ka mi Israel te a uk tu nang sung pan hong piang tu hi, ci hi.
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learnt from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Tasiaciang Herod kumpipa in mipil te samku a, banghun in aksi suak ziam ci thiangtak in dong hi.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
Taciang amate Bethlehem ah paisak a, tua nauno phatak hong zong tavun; Ama na mu uh ciang in hong sonkik tavun, keizong pai in bia tu khi hi, ci hi.
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
Amate in kumpipa son teng a zak zawk uh ciang pai uh hi; Taciang, en vun, nisuana sang pan a mu uh aksi sia nausen omna tungsan ah theng in a tawlngak dong amate mai ah pai hi.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Amate in tua aksi a mu uh ciang in, nasiatak in lungdam uh hi.
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Miriam, his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Innsung a tum uh ciang in, a nu Mary le nausen mu uh a, kun in bia tek uh hi: taciang a ken uh na manpha te sua in, kham, frankincense le myrh te pia uh hi.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Tua zawkciang Herod kumpipa kung ah heakkik nawnngawl tu in Pathian in amate i mang sung ah kidop natu a piak hu in lamdang pan in amate ngam ah cia uh hi.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
Amate cia zawkciang, Joseph mang sung ah Topa vantungmi hong kilang a, tho in, nausen le a nu keng in, Egypt ngam ah tai vun, thu kong puak kik dong tua ngam ah om nginge vun: banghangziam cile Herod in hi nausen that tu in zong tu hi, ci hi.
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Joseph a khanlaw ciang, nausen le a nu keng in, a zan a zan in Egypt ngam ah taipui hi.
15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
Herod kumpipa a thi dong tua ngam ah om uh hi: hi thu sia, ka tapa Egypt ngam pan samkik zo khi hi, ci Topa in kamsang tungtawn in a sonkhol thu a tangtun na a hihi.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learnt from the wise men.
Herod kumpipa in, mipil te i theam hunlam a heak ciang, a thin-uk mama a, mihing sawl in, mipil te in ama kung ah phatak in a dok thu taw kisai in Bethlehem khua pan kipan a kim a pam a om patang kum ni le a nuai sia theampo that siat hi.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Kamsang Jeremiah i sonkhol na ah,
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
Ramah ngam pan in kaana aw te le nasiatak in tau na aw ki za hi, a tate a om ngawl hu in Rachel i kaana sia kuama in heneam zo ngawl hi, ci thu a tangtun na a hihi.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Herod thi zawkciang, Egypt ngam a om Joseph mang sung ah Topa vantungmi khat hong kilang a,
20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into Eretz-Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
Tho in, nauno le a nu keng in Israel ngam ah paipui in: banghangziam cile nauno that nuam in a zong te thi siat zo hi, ci hi.
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into Eretz-Israel.
Joseph tho in, nauno le a nu Israel ngam ah paipui hi.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
Ahihang Archelaus in a pa Herod zalai in Judah ngam uk hi, ci Joseph in a zak ciang tua ngam ah pai ngam ngawl hi: ahihang a mang sung ah Pathian in kidop natu a son bang in, Joseph zong Galilee ngam ah kiheam hi.
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.
Nazareth kici khua hong theng in tua khua ah om uh hi: tabang in kamsang i sonkholsa bang in, Nazareth khuami, kici tuh hi, a ci sia hong tangtung hi.
