Matio 2
1 Ary rehefa teraka Jesosy tao Betlehema an’ i Jodia, tamin’ ny andron’ i Heroda mpanjaka, indreo, nisy Magy avy tany atsinanana tonga tany Jerosalema ka nanao hoe:
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem,
2 Aiza Ilay teraka ho Mpanjakan’ ny Jiosy? fa nahita ny kintany teny atsinanana izahay ka tonga mba hiankohoka eo anatrehany.
saying: Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.
3 Ary nony nandre izany Heroda mpanjaka, dia nangorohoro izy mbamin’ i Jerosalema rehetra.
When Herod the king heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Dia namory ny lohan’ ny mpisorona rehetra sy ny mpanora-dalàna tamin’ ny vahoaka izy ka nanontany ary hoe: Aiza mba no hahaterahan’ i Kristy?
And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
5 Ary hoy ireo taminy: Ao Betlehema an’ i Jodia; fa izao no voasoratry ny mpaminany:
And they said to him: In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet:
6 Ary ianao, ry Betlehema, tanin’ ny Joda, tsy dia kely indrindra ao amin’ ny andrianan’ ny Joda ianao tsy akory; Fa avy ao aminao no hivoahan’ izay anankiray ho Mpanapaka, Ka Izy no ho Mpiandry ny Isiraely oloko.
And thou, Bethlehem, city of Judah, art by no means the least among the chiefs of Judah; for out of thee shall come a leader, that shall be a shepherd to my people Israel.
7 Dia nampaka ny Magy mangingina Heroda ka namototra fatratra taminy izay andro nisehoan’ ilay kintana.
Then Herod, when he had secretly called the Magi, inquired of them strictly at what time the star, then visible, first made its appearance:
8 Dia naniraka azy hankany Betlehema izy ka nanao hoe: Andeha, fotory tsara ny amin’ ilay Zazakely; koa rehefa hitanareo Izy, dia ambarao amiko, mba hankanesako any koa hiankohoka eo anatrehany.
and sending them to Bethlehem, he said: Go, make strict inquiry for the young child: and when you have found him, bring me word, that I also may go and do him homage.
9 Ary rehefa nandre ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka izy ireo, dia lasa; ary, indro, ilay kintana hitany teny atsinanana nialoha azy mandra-pijanony teo ambonin’ izay nitoeran’ ny Zazakely.
When they had heard the king, they departed; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over the place where the young child was.
10 Ary nony nahita ny kintana izy, dia nifaly indrindra.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
11 Ary rehefa tafiditra tao an-trano izy, dia nahita ny Zazakely sy Maria reniny ka niankohoka teo anatrehany; ary nony efa nosokafany ny fitehirizan-drakiny, dia nanolotra zavatra ho Azy izy, dia volamena sy zava-manitra ary miora.
And having come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother; and falling down, they did him homage. And when they had opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Ary rehefa notoroan’ Andriamanitra hevitra tamin’ ny nofy izy tsy hiverina any amin’ i Heroda, dia lalana hafa no nalehany nody ho any amin’ ny fonenany.
And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another way.
13 Ary nony efa lasa nandeha ireo, indro, nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo niseho tamin’ i Josefa tamin’ ny nofy ka nanan hoe: Mifohaza ianao, ka ento ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, dia mandosira any Egypta, ary mitoera any ambara-pilazako aminao; fa Heroda efa hitady ny Zazakely hovonoiny.
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 be there till I bring you word; for Herod is about to seek for the young child, to destroy him.
14 Dia nifoha izy ka nitondra ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, raha mbola alina, dia lasa nankany Egypta;
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 ary nitoetra tany izy ambara-pahafatin’ i Heroda, mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazain’ i Jehovah ny mpaminany hoe: Nantsoiko hiala tany Egypta ny zanako.
and was there till the death of Herod; that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through his prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my Son.
16 Ary nony efa fantatr’ i Heroda fa voafitaky ny Magy izy, dia tezitra indrindra izy ka naniraka namono ny zazalahy rehetra hatramin’ ny roa taona no ho midìna, izay tao Betlehema sy tamin’ ny manodidina rehetra, araka ny andro izay nofotorany fatratra tamin’ ny Magy.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the Magi, was greatly enraged, and sent out and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem and in all its borders, from the age of two years and under, according to the time which he had strictly inquired of the Magi.
17 Dia tanteraka izay nampilazaina an’ i Jeremia mpaminany hoe:
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
18 Nisy feo re tao Rama, dia fidradradradrana sy fitomaniana fatratra; Rahely nitomany ny zanany, Ary tsy azo nampiononina izy, satria lany ritra ireny.
A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and weeping, and great mourning; Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted because they are no more.
19 Ary rehefa maty Heroda, indro, nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo niseho tamin’ i Josefa tany Egypta tamin’ ny nofy ka nanao hoe:
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Mifohaza ianao, ka ento ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, dia mankanesa any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely; fa efa maty izay nitady ny ain’ ny Zazakely.
saying: Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they are dead who sought the young child’s life.
21 Dia nifoha izy ka nitondra ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, dia tonga tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Fa rehefa reny fa Arkelaosy no nanjaka tany Jodia nandimby an’ i Heroda rainy, dia natahotra hankany izy; ary rehefa notoroan’ Andriamanitra hevitra tamin’ ny nofy izy, dia lasa nankany amin’ ny tany Galilia.
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither. But being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the regions of Galilee,
23 Ary nony tonga tany izy, dia nonina tao amin’ ny tanàna atao hoe Nazareta, mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina ny mpaminany hoe: Hatao hoe Nazarena Izy.
and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets: He shall be called a Nazarene.
