Matio 2
1 Ie toly e Betleheme e Iehodà ao t’i Iesoà, tañ’andro’ i Heroda mpanjaka, le inge totsak’ e Ierosaleme ty mpañandro maro boak’ atiñanañe añe,
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 nanao ty hoe: Aia i Mpanjaka’ o Jiosio vaho samakey? Fa tinalake’ay atiñanañe eñe ty vasia’e, vaho pok’eo zahay an-dravoravom-piasiañe hitalaho ama’e.
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 Ie jinanji’ i Heroda mpanjaka le nitsiborehetoke reketse ze hene mpimone’ Ierosaleme.
When Herod the king heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Aa le hene natonto’e o androanavi’eo, vaho nañontanea’e he fohi’ iareo ty hisamahañe i Norizañey.
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 Hoe ty natoi’ iareo: E Betleheme Iehodà ao, ty amy pinatetse amy mpitokiy ty hoe:
And they said to him: In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet:
6 Ihe Betleheme Iehodà, Efratà, tane’ Iehodà, Inao toe pininite’e amo fifokoa’ Iehodao irehe; fe hirik’ ama’o te hionjom-bamako ty ho Mpifehe e Israele ao.
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 Le kinanji’ i Heroda i mpañandro rey naho natola’e vaho nitsikarahe’e am’iereo i andro niboaha’ i vasiañey.
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 Nahitri’e mb’e Betleheme mb’eo iereo ami’ty hoe: Akia, hotsohotsò i Ajaja-lahiy, ie rendre’ areo, ampahafohino ahy, fa homb’ama’e mb’eo ka iraho hitalaho.
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 Ie nahajanjiñe i mpanjakay le nienga; naho indroy i vasiañe niisa’ iereo atiñanañe añey niaolo iareo ampara’ te nipok’ amy toetsey, nijohañe ambone’ ty toe’ i ajajay ey.
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 Nifale iereo toe nirañorano an-kobay te nahaisake i vasiañey.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy.
11 Aa ie nizilike an-traño ao le nitendreke aze naho i Marie rene’e; naho nitongaleke aolo’e eo, niambane ama’e, nanokake o horo’ iareoo naho nibanabana ravoravo ama’e: volamena naho mañi-dè vaho rame.
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 Hinatahata’ ty anjely ami’ty nofy iereo, nanoro t’ie tsy hibalike mb’amy Heroda mb’eo, aa le nimpoly mb’an-tane’ iareo añe nañorike lalan-kafa.
And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another way.
13 Ie añe, intoy, nisodeha amy Josefe ty Anjeli’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Mitroara, rambeso i Ajajalahiy naho i rene’e, mibioña mb’e Mitsraime añe vaho itaveaño ampara’ te tohineko, amy te paiae’ i Heroda havetrake i Ajajalahiy.
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 Aa le nendese’e i Ajajay naho i rene’e,
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 vaho nitambatse añe ampara’ te niantantiritse t’i Heroda, hañenefañe ty nampisaontsieñe i mpitokiy ty hoe: Boake Mitsraime añe ty nitokavako ty Anako.
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 Ie nifohi’ i Heroda ty nanoa’ i mpañandro rey, le tsy hay aia ty habose’e, toe niojeoje an-troke, vaho linili’e te hahitrike amo roandria’e iabio ty hanjamañe ze hene anak’ ajajalahy e Betleheme naho amparipari’e ao ze nisamake ambane ty tao nisaontsie’ i mpañandro reiy te nisamaheñe i ajalahiy.
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 Niheneke amy zay ty nisaontsie’ i Jeremia mpitoky:
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
18 Jinanjiñe e Rama ao ty fiarañanañañe; fandalañe naho fangololoihañe mafaitse: Mirovetse o ana’eo t’i Rahelie, ntt
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 Ie nihomake t’i Heroda, le nitoje amy Josefe e Mitsraime ao ama’ nofy ty anjeli’ Iehovà
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 nanao ty hoe: Mitroara, rambeso i Ajajalahiy naho i rene’e, le akia mb’an-tane’ Israele añe; fa mate o nipay hañoho-doza amy Ajajaio.
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 Aa le niongake re, ninday i Ajajay naho i rene’e, nimpoly mb’ an-tane Israele mb’eo.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Jinanji’e te nandimbe i Heroda rae’e nifeleke e Iehodà ao t’i Horkanose, le nimarimarike tsy te homb’eo. Aa le nirisihe’ i Anjeliy ami’ty nofy re ty hitsile mb’ an-tane Gilgale añe.
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 Ie nandoake ao le nimoneñe an-drova atao Nazareta, hañeneke i nisaontsie’ o mpitokio te: Hatao nte-Naz’rete re.
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.
