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:
And so, when Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judah, in the days of king Herod, behold, Magi from the east arrived in 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 who was born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and we have come to adore him.”
3 Ary nony nandre izany Heroda mpanjaka, dia nangorohoro izy mbamin’ i Jerosalema rehetra.
Now king Herod, hearing this, was disturbed, 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 gathering together all the leaders of the priests, and the scribes of the people, he consulted with them as to where the Christ would 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 so it has been 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 you, Bethlehem, the land of Judah, are by no means least among the leaders of Judah. For from you shall go forth the ruler who shall guide my people Israel.’”
7 Dia nampaka ny Magy mangingina Heroda ka namototra fatratra taminy izay andro nisehoan’ ilay kintana.
Then Herod, quietly calling the Magi, diligently learned from them the time when the star appeared to them.
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 into Bethlehem, he said: “Go and diligently ask questions about the boy. And when you have found him, report back to me, so that I, too, may come and adore him.”
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 when they had heard the king, they went away. And behold, the star that they had seen in the east went before them, even until, arriving, it stood still above the place where the child was.
10 Ary nony nahita ny kintana izy, dia nifaly indrindra.
Then, seeing the star, they were gladdened by a 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 entering the home, they found the boy with his mother Mary. And so, falling prostrate, they adored him. And opening their treasures, they offered 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 received a response in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back by another way to their own region.
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 after they had gone away, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: “Rise up, and take the boy and his mother, and flee into Egypt. And remain there until I tell you. For it will happen that Herod will seek the boy to destroy him.”
14 Dia nifoha izy ka nitondra ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, raha mbola alina, dia lasa nankany Egypta;
And getting up, he took the boy and his mother by night, and withdrew 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 he remained there, until the death of Herod, in order to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Out of Egypt, 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, seeing that he had been fooled by the Magi, was very angry. And so he sent to kill all the boys who were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years of age and under, according to the time that he had learned by questioning the Magi.
17 Dia tanteraka izay nampilazaina an’ i Jeremia mpaminany hoe:
Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, 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 has been heard in Ramah, great weeping and wailing: Rachel crying for her sons. And she was not willing to be consoled, because they were no more.”
19 Ary rehefa maty Heroda, indro, nisy anjelin’ ny Tompo niseho tamin’ i Josefa tany Egypta tamin’ ny nofy ka nanao hoe:
Then, when Herod had passed away, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared in sleep 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: “Rise up, and take the boy and his mother, and go into the land of Israel. For those who were seeking the life of the boy have passed away.”
21 Dia nifoha izy ka nitondra ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, dia tonga tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely.
And rising up, he took the boy and his mother, and he went 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.
Then, hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned in sleep, he withdrew into 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 arriving, he lived in a city which is called Nazareth, in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets: “For he shall be called a Nazarene.”
