< Mataio 2 >

1 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,
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, look, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 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.
"Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him."
3 A lohe ae la o Herode ke alii, apoapo ae la kona oili, oia a me ko Ierusalema a pau.
And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 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?
And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 Hai aku la lakou ia ia, Aia i Betelehema i Indea nei; no ka mea, ua palapalaia e ke kaula penei,
And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written through the prophet,
6 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.
'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come forth a ruler who will shepherd my people, Israel.'"
7 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.
Then Herod secretly called the Magi, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 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.
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."
9 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,
And they, having heard the king, went their way; and look, the star which they saw in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 A ike aku lakou i ua hoku la, hauoli nui loa ae la lakou.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 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.
And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 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.
Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 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.
Now when they had departed, look, 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."
14 Ala ae la ia, lawe ae la i ke keiki a me kona makuwahine i ka po, a holo aku la i Aigupita;
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 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.
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."
16 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.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the Magi, 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 learned from the Magi.
17 Alaila, ko ae la ka olelo a ke kaula a Ieretnia, i i mai ai,
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 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.
"A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are no more."
19 A make o Herode, alaila ikea aku la kekahi anela a ka Haku e Iosepa ma ka moeuhane i Aigupita;
But when Herod was dead, look, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 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.
"Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child's life are dead."
21 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.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 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.
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,
23 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.
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 Nazorean.
