1 Kawuwa Heroodisa woden Yesuusi Yihuda biittan Beeteleme kataman yelettidayssafe guye xoolintto taybiya asati dolohappe Yerusalaame yidi,
When Jesus then was borne at Bethleem in Iudea, in the dayes of Herod the King, beholde, there came Wisemen from the East to Hierusalem,
2 “Yelettida Ayhude kawoy awun de7ii? Nuuni doloha baggara keyida iya xoolinttuwa be7idi iyaw goynnanaw yida” yaagidi oychchidosona.
Saying, Where is that King of the Iewes that is borne? for wee haue seene his starre in the East, and are come to worship him.
3 Kawoy Heroodisi hessa si7ida wode dagammis. Yerusalaamen de7iya asay ubbayka dagammidosona.
When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and all Hierusalem with him.
4 Heroodisi kahine halaqatanne higge asttamaareta baakko xeegidi, “Kiristtoosi awun yelettanddeshsha?” yaagidi entta oychchis.
And gathering together all the chiefe Priestes and Scribes of the people, hee asked of them, where Christ should be borne.
5 Enttika, “Yihuda Beetelemena; nabey,
And they saide vnto him, At Beth-leem in Iudea: for so it is written by the Prophet,
6 ‘Yihudan de7iya Beeteleme, Yihudan de7iya gooba katamatappe, neeni aybinkka guuxaka. Ta deriya Isra7eele aysanayssi, neeppe keyana’ gidi xaafis” yaagidosona.
And thou Beth-leem in the lande of Iuda, art not the least among the Princes of Iuda: For out of thee shall come the gouernour that shall feede that my people Israel.
7 Hessafe guye, Heroodisi dolohappe yida asata geeman xeegidi, xoolinttuwa entti be7ida wodiya enttafe geeshshidi eris.
Then Herod priuily called the Wisemen, and diligently inquired of them the time of the starre that appeared,
8 I enttana Beeteleme yeddishe, “Bidi yelettida na7aa minthidi koyite; iya hintte demmida wode takka bada iyaw goynnana mela simmidi yishe taw odite” yaagis.
And sent them to Beth-leem, saying, Goe, and searche diligently for the babe: and when ye haue founde him, bring mee worde againe, that I may come also, and worship him.
9 Enttika kawoy Heroodisi gidayssa si7idi bidosona. Entti doloha baggara be7ida xoolinttoy enttana kaalethishe na7ay de7iyasuwa gakkanaw efis.
So when they had heard the King, they departed: and loe, the starre which they had seene in the East, went before them, till it came and stoode ouer the place where the babe was.
10 Entti he xoolinttuwa be7ida wode gita ufayssi ufayttidosona.
And when they sawe the starre, they reioyced with an exceeding great ioy,
11 Soo gelidi na7aa ba aaye Mayraamira de7eyssa be7idosona. Iyaw gulbbatidi goynnidosona. Bantta saaxiniya dooyidi worqqa, ixaanenne karbbe iyaw immidosona.
And went into the house, and founde the babe with Mary his mother, and fell downe, and worshipped him, and opened their treasures, and presented vnto him giftes, euen golde, and frankincense, and myrrhe.
12 Entti Heerodisakko guye simmona mela Xoossay amuhon enttaw odin, hara ogera bantta biittaa simmidosona.
And after they were warned of God in a dreame, that they should not go againe to Herod, they returned into their countrey another way.
13 Doloha baggafe yida asati bidaappe guye, Godaa kiitanchchoy Yoosefas amuhon qonccidi, “Heroodisi na7aa wodhanaw koyaa gisho dendda; ellesada na7aanne na7aa aayiw ekkada Gibxe biittaa ba. Ne simmana wodiya ta new odana gakkanaw yan gam77a” yaagis.
After their departure, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeareth to Ioseph in a dreame, saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there til I bring thee word: for Herod will seeke the babe, to destroy him.
14 Hessa gisho, Yoosefi he qamman denddidi, na7aanne na7aa aayiw ekkidi Gibxe bis.
So he arose and tooke the babe and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 Nabiya doonan Xoossay, “Taani, ta na7aa, Gibxe biittafe xeegas” geetettida qaalay polettana mela Heroodisi hayqqana gakkanaw I yan de7is.
And was there vnto the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, Out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.
16 Hessafe guye, doloha baggafe yida asati iya cimmidayssa erida wode daro yilotis. I kase enttafe si7idayssada Beetelemeninne he heeran de7iya nam77u laythi kumidayssatanne nam77u laythafe garssan de7iya adde nayta ubbaa ba wotaddareta yeddidi wodhisis.
Then Herod, seeing that he was mocked of the Wisemen, was exceeding wroth, and sent foorth, and slew all the male children that were in Beth-leem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two yeere old and vnder, according to the time which he had diligently searched out of the Wisemen.
17 Nabiya Ermmiyasa doonan, “Yeehoynne zeleelssi, Raama kataman si7ettis. Raahela ba naytas yeekkawusu; entti hayqqida gisho minettanaw dandda7abuukku” gidi odidayssi polettis.
Then was that fulfilled which is spoken by the Prophet Ieremias, saying,
In Rhama was a voyce heard, mourning, and weeping, and great howling: Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not.
19 Heroodisi hayqqidaappe guye Gibxen Godaa kiitanchchoy Yoosefas amuhon qonccidi,
And whe Herod was dead, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeareth in a dreame to Ioseph in Egypt,
20 “Na7aa wodhanaw koyaa asati hayqqida gisho, denddada na7aanne na7aa aayiw ekkada Isra7eele biittaa simma” yaagis.
Saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and goe into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the babes life.
21 Yoosefi denddidi na7aanne na7aa aayiw ekkidi Isra7eele biittaa simmis.
Then he arose vp and tooke the babe and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Shin Arkkeliyoosi Yihudan ba aawa Heroodisa bessan kawotidayssa si7ida wode yaa baanaw yayyis. Xoossay amuhon iyaw qonccisin Galiila biittaa bis.
But whe he heard that Archelaus did reigne in Iudea in stead of his father Herod, he was afraide to go thither: yet after he was warned of God in a dreame, he turned aside into the parts of Galile,
23 Nabeta doonan, “Naazirete asi geetettana” gidi odettidayssi polettana mela Naazirete katamaa bidi yan de7is.
And went and dwelt in a citie called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophets, which was, That hee should be called a Nazarite.
