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 when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east 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 the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.
3 Ary nony nandre izany Heroda mpanjaka, dia nangorohoro izy mbamin’ i Jerosalema rehetra.
And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, 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 he got together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, questioning them as to where the birth-place of the Christ would be.
5 Ary hoy ireo taminy: Ao Betlehema an’ i Jodia; fa izao no voasoratry ny mpaminany:
And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea; for so it is said in the writings of 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.
You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel.
7 Dia nampaka ny Magy mangingina Heroda ka namototra fatratra taminy izay andro nisehoan’ ilay kintana.
Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.
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 he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.
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.
And after hearing the king, they went on their way; and the star which they saw in the east went before them, till it came to rest 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 were full of 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 they came into the house, and saw the young child with Mary, his mother; and falling down on their faces they gave him worship; and from their store they gave him offerings of gold, perfume, and spices.
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 it was made clear to them by God in a dream that they were not to go back to Herod; so they went into their 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.
And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.
14 Dia nifoha izy ka nitondra ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, raha mbola alina, dia lasa nankany Egypta;
So he took the young child and his mother by night, and went 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; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for 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 had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.
17 Dia tanteraka izay nampilazaina an’ i Jeremia mpaminany hoe:
Then the word of Jeremiah the prophet came true,
18 Nisy feo re tao Rama, dia fidradradradrana sy fitomaniana fatratra; Rahely nitomany ny zanany, Ary tsy azo nampiononina izy, satria lany ritra ireny.
In Ramah there was a sound of weeping and great sorrow, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted for their loss.
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, an angel of the Lord came 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, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: because they who were attempting to take the young child's life are dead.
21 Dia nifoha izy ka nitondra ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, dia tonga tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely.
And he got up, 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 it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts 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 he came and was living in a town named Nazareth: so that the word of the prophets might come true, He will be named a Nazarene.
