< Mateo 2 >

1 Alaxinaq chi ri Jesús pa ri tinimit Belén rech Judea, pa taq ri qꞌij are kataqan ri taqanel Herodes. Xoꞌpan pa Jerusalén nikꞌaj achyabꞌ kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, kipetik pa ri relibꞌal qꞌij.
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came Magi from the east unto Jerusalem,
2 Xkitatabꞌelaꞌ xkibꞌij: ¿Jawjeꞌ xalax wi ri kirey ri winaq aꞌj Israel? Xqil ri uchꞌumil rumal riꞌ xujpe chuqꞌijilaꞌxik.
saying: Where is the king of the Jews that is born? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
3 Ri taqanel Herodes are xutabꞌej rech we riꞌ, xkꞌaxir ranimaꞌ, xkꞌaxir xuqujeꞌ kanimaꞌ ri winaq rech ri tinimit Jerusalén.
And Herod the king heard, and he was disturbed; and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Xaq jeriꞌ xtaqan che kisikꞌixik konojel ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe ke ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, xuqujeꞌ ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik, xuta chike jas leꞌaj kalax wi ri Cristo.
And he assembled all the chiefs of the priests and the scribes of the people, and inquired of them, Where is the birthplace of the Messiah?
5 Pa ri tinimit Belén rech Judea, xecha che, rumal cher jeriꞌ utzꞌibꞌam loq ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios:
And they said: In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written in the prophet:
6 Ri at tinimit Belén, ri at kꞌo pa ri rulew ri Judea, Pune nitzꞌ aqꞌij chikiwach ri e nikꞌaj leꞌaj chik rech ri Judea, Chawe kꞌut kakꞌiy wi na loq jun qꞌatal tzij, Ri kuꞌyuqꞌuj na ri nutinimit Israel.
Thou also, Bethlehem of Judaea, art not the little among the kings of Judaea, for a king shall come from thee who shall rule my people Israel.
7 Kꞌa te riꞌ ri Herodes cheleqꞌal xuꞌsikꞌij ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, xuta chike jampaꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ ri chꞌumil.
Then Herod privately called the Magi, and learned from them at what time the star appeared to them.
8 Kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌtaq bꞌik pa Belén, xubꞌij chike: Jix chitatabꞌelaꞌ jawjeꞌ xalax wi ri akꞌal. Are kiriqo, jilibꞌij chwe jeriꞌ kineꞌ xuqujeꞌ in chuqꞌijilaꞌxik.
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said to them, Go, search diligently for the child; and when ye have found him, come and tell me, that I also may go and worship him.
9 Are xtataj ri xubꞌij ri taqanel chike, xkitaqej ri kibꞌe, kꞌa te xkilo xnabꞌej ri chꞌumil chkiwach, te xeꞌtakꞌal puꞌwiꞌ ri leꞌaj ri kꞌo wi ri akꞌal.
And they, when they had heard from the king, went forward: and lo, the star they had seen in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.
10 Are xkil ri chꞌumil, sibꞌalaj xekiꞌkotik.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced much, with great joy.
11 Xoꞌk bꞌik pa ri ja, xkil ri akꞌal kꞌo rukꞌ ri unan María, xexukiꞌk xkiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Jesús. Kꞌa te riꞌ xkijaq ri kikꞌolibꞌal, xkisipaj qꞌana pwaq che, uqꞌolal cheꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kꞌokꞌ taq kunabꞌal ubꞌiꞌ mirra.
And they entered the house; and they saw the child, with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him: and they opened their treasures, and presented to him gifts, gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
12 Xechꞌabꞌex kꞌu we achyabꞌ riꞌ pa ri kiwaram xbꞌix chike chi man ketzalij ta chi rukꞌ ri Herodes, rumal riꞌ pa jun bꞌe chik xetzalij wi.
And it was shown them in a dream, that they should not return to Herod. And by another way, they returned to their country.
13 E bꞌenaq chi ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, are xaq kꞌa teꞌ xukꞌut ribꞌ jun ángel rech ri Ajawxel pa uwaram ri José, xubꞌij che: Chatwaꞌjiloq, chakꞌama bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri unan, chatanimaj bꞌik. Jat pa Egipto, chatkanaj kan chilaꞌ kꞌa jampaꞌ na kꞌu kinbꞌij chawe, rumal cher ri Herodes kutzukuj na ri akꞌal rech kukamisaj.
And when they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt; and be thou there, until I tell thee: for Herod will seek for the child, to destroy it.
14 Xaq jeriꞌ kꞌa chaqꞌabꞌ na are xwaꞌjil bꞌi ri José, xeꞌ pa Egipto, xukꞌam bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri unan ri akꞌal.
Then Joseph arose, took the child and his mother, by night, and fled to Egypt.
15 Chilaꞌ xkꞌojiꞌ wi kꞌa xkam na ri Herodes. Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmataj ri ubꞌim loq ri Ajawxel chuchiꞌ ri qꞌalajisal rech ri utzij, are xubꞌij: Pa Egipto kꞌo wi ri nukꞌojol are xinsikꞌij apanoq.
And he was there, until the death of Herod; that so might be fulfilled that which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, From Egypt have I called my son.
16 Are xunabꞌej ri Herodes chi man xnimax ta ri utzij kumal ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal, xchꞌuꞌjar che royawal. Xtaqan chikikamisaxik ri akꞌalabꞌ ri majaꞌ katzꞌaqat kakabꞌ kijunabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Belén xuqujeꞌ pa nikꞌaj taq leꞌaj chik ri e kꞌo apan chikixukut, are xutereneꞌj ri qꞌotaj ri xbꞌix kan che kumal ri achyabꞌ ri kꞌo ketaꞌmabꞌal.
Then Herod, when he saw that he had been deluded by the Magi, was very angry. And he sent and slew all the children in Bethlehem, and in all its confines, from a child of two years and under, according to the time that he had carefully learned from the Magi.
17 Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmataj ri xubꞌij loq ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios Jeremías are xubꞌij:
Then was that fulfilled, which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
18 Xtataj jun raqoj chiꞌ pa ri tinimit Ramá, oqꞌej xuqujeꞌ nimalaj bꞌis. Are Raquel keroqꞌej ri ral. Man karaj ta kꞌut kakubꞌisax ukꞌuꞌx, rumal cher e maj chi ral.
A voice was heard in Rama, weeping and great lamentation; Rachel bemoaning her children, and unwilling to be comforted, because they are no more.
19 Are kaminaq chi ri Herodes, jun ángel rech ri Ajawxel xukꞌut ribꞌ cho ri José pa ri uwaram, are kꞌo na pa Egipto.
But when king Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Xubꞌij che: Chatwaꞌjiloq, chakꞌama bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri unan, chattzalij pa Israel. Xekam riꞌ ri winaq ri kakirayij ukamisaxik ri akꞌal.
and said to him: Arise, take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they are dead who sought the life of the child.
21 Xwaꞌjil ri José, xukꞌam bꞌik ri akꞌal rachiꞌl ri rixoqil, xetzalij pa ri tinimit Israel.
And Joseph arose, and took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 Are xutabꞌej rech chi ri Arquelao are tajin kataqan pa Judea che ukꞌex wach ri utat Herodes, xuxiꞌj ribꞌ xeꞌ je laꞌ. Xya kꞌu unoꞌj rumal ri Dios pa ri uwaram rumal riꞌ xetzalij pa Galilea.
But when he heard that Archelaus was king in Judaea, instead of his father Herod, he feared to go thither. And it was revealed to him in a dream, that he should go into the land of Galilee.
23 Xkꞌojiꞌ pa jun leꞌaj ubꞌiꞌ Nazaret, jeriꞌ xkꞌulmataj ri xkibꞌij loq ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios are xkibꞌij: Kabꞌix na Jesús aj Nazaret che.
And he came and dwelt in a city that is called Nazareth: that so might be fulfilled that which was said by the prophet, that he should be called a Nazarene.
