Matye 2
1 Aprè Jésus te fin fèt Bethléem nan peyi Judée pandan Hérode te wa, konsa yon ekip mesye saj ki sòti nan lès te rive Jérusalem pou mande;
NOW when Jeshu was born in Beth-lechem of Jehuda, in the days of Herodes the king, there came Magians from the East to Urishlem:
2 “Kote sila ki fèt Wa a Jwif yo a? Nou gen tan wè zetwal Li nan pati lès la, e nou vini pou adore Li.”
and they said, Where is the king of the Jews who is born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
3 Lè Hérode te tande sa, li te vin twouble, e tout Jérusalem avèk li.
But Herodes the king heard, and was troubled, and all Urishlem with him.
4 Li te rasanble tout chèf prèt yo avèk skrib a pèp la, e te kòmanse mande yo kote Kris la t ap fèt la.
And he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and anxiously inquired of them where the Meshicha should be born.
5 Yo te di li: “Nan Bethléem a Judée jan li te ekri pa pwofèt la”;
But they said, In Beth-lechem of Jehuda; for so it is written in the prophet:
6 “E ou menm, Bethléem, peyi Judée, ou pa manke valè pami chèf Judée yo: paske yon Gran Chèf k ap sòti nan ou menm, Li va vin yon bèje pou pèp Mwen an, Israël”.
Also thou, Beth-lechem of Jehuda, wast not the least among the kings of Jehuda; for from thee shall come forth the king who shall be as a shepherd to my people Isroel.
7 Konsa, Hérode te rele mesye saj yo an sekrè pou fè yon ankèt egzakt pou konnen kilè zetwal la te parèt la.
Then Herodes privately called the Magians, and learned from them at what time the star appeared to them:
8 Li te voye yo Bethléem e li te di yo: “Ale Chèche pou twouve Pitit la, e lè nou jwenn li, voye di m sa, pou m ka ale adore Li tou.”
and he sent them to Beth-lechem, and said to them, Go and inquire diligently concerning the child; and when you have found him, come, show me, and I also will go and will worship him.
9 Lè yo fin tande wa a, yo ale fè wout yo, e konsa zetwal la ke yo te wè nan lès la, te ale devan yo jiskaske li te vin kanpe kote menm ke Pitit la te ye a.
But they, when they had heard the king, went forth; and, lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, proceeded before them, until it came and stood over against where the child was.
10 Lè yo te wè zetwal la, yo te rejwi anpil avèk anpil jwa.
Now when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
11 Yo te ale nan kay la e te wè Pitit la avèk Marie, manman Li. Yo te pwostène devan Li pou te adore L. Yo te ouvri trezò yo e te prezante L kòm kado, lò, lansan, ak lami.
And they entered the house, and beheld the child with Mariam his mother; and they fell down, and worshipped him. And they opened their treasures, and offered unto him oblations; gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
12 Men akoz ke yo te avèti nan yon rèv ke yo pa t dwe retounen kote Hérode, yo te ale nan peyi yo pa yon lòt wout.
And it was shown to them in a dream, that they should not return unto Herodes; so, by another way, they went unto their place.
13 Lè yo fin pati, lapoula yon zanj Bondye te vin parèt a Joseph nan yon rèv. Li te di l: “Leve pran Pitit la avèk manman L epi kouri ale an Égypte. Rete la jiskaske mwen di ou, paske Hérode ap chèche Zanfan sila a pou l ka detwi L.”
AND when they were gone, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream unto Jauseph, and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and flee into Metsreen, and there be until I tell thee; for it will be that Herodes will seek the child, that he may destroy him.
14 Joseph te leve pran Pitit la avèk manman L pandan nwit lan pou te ale an Égypte.
Then Jauseph arose, took up the child and his mother, and fled by night into Metsreen,
15 Li te rete la jiskaske Hérode te mouri. Sa te fèt pou akonpli sa Senyè a te pale pa pwofèt la pou li ta kapab akonpli lè l te di: “Pou soti an Égypte, Mwen te rele Fis Mwen an”.
and was there until the death of Herodes. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Metsreen have I called my son.
16 Lè Hérode te vin wè ke li te twonpe pa mesye saj yo, li te vin anraje. Konsa, li te voye touye tout ti gason mwens ke de zan nan tout anviwon Bethléem nan, selon tan li te vin konprann pa mesye saj yo.
Then Herodes, when he saw that he had been deluded by the Magians, was greatly wroth, and sent (and) killed all the children of Beth-lechem, and all its limits, from two years and under, according to the time which he had inquired from the Magians.
17 Konsa, sa ki te pale pa pwofèt Jérémie an te vin akonpli lè l te di konsa:
Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Eramio the prophet, who said,
18 “Yon vwa te tande nan Rama; yo te kriye e fè gwo lamantasyon. Rachel ki t ap kriye pou Pitit li yo; li te refize konsole, paske yo pa t la ankò.”
A cry was heard in Rometha; weeping and great lamentation; Rochel weeping for her children, and not willing to be comforted, because they are not.
19 Men lè Hérode te vin mouri, yon zanj te parèt an Égypte pou di Joseph nan yon rèv:
BUT when Herodes, the king, was dead, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Jauseph in Metsreen,
20 “Leve, pran Pitit la avèk manman L pou ale nan peyi Israël, paske sila yo ki t ap chèche touye Pitit la gen tan mouri.”
and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Isroel; for they are dead who sought the life of the child.
21 Konsa Joseph te leve pran Pitit la avèk manman L, e te ale nan peyi Israël.
And Jauseph arose, (and) took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Isroel.
22 Men lè li tande ke Archélaüs te gwo chèf nan Judée nan plas papa li, Hérode, li te pè ale la. Lè li te fin avèti pa Bondye nan yon rèv, li te sòti la, e te ale nan anviwon Galilée yo.
But when he heard that Arkelaos was the king in Jehud, instead of Herodes his father, he was afraid to go thither: and it was shown to him in a dream, that he should go into the region of Galila.
23 Li te vin rete nan yon vil yo rele Nazareth pou sa ke pwofèt yo te pale yo ta kapab akonpli: “Yo va rele Li yon Nazareyen”.
And he came and dwelt in a city which is called Natsrath. So would be fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet, that a Nazarene he should be called.
