मत्ती 2
1 यहूदियाको बेथलेहेममा राजा हेरोदको समयमा येशूको जन्म भएपछि पूर्वबाट ज्ञानी मानिसहरू यरूशलेममा आएर यसो भन्न लागे,
Now, when, Jesus, was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! wise men from eastern parts, came into Jerusalem:
2 “यहूदीहरूका राजा भई जन्मनुभएका उहाँ कहाँ हुनुहुन्छ? हामीले उहाँको तारा पूर्वमा देख्यौँ र उहाँलाई दण्डवत् गर्न आएका छौँ ।”
saying—Where is he that hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to him.
3 जब हेरोद राजाले यो सुने, उनी र उनीसँगै सारा यरूशलेम बेचैन भए ।
But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
4 हेरोदले सबै मुख्य पुजारी र मानिसहरूका शास्त्रीहरूलाई भेला गराए, र उनले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “जन्मने भनिएका ख्रीष्ट कहाँ छन्?”
and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them—Where is, the Christ, to be born?
5 तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “यहूदियाको बेथलेहेममा किनकि अगमवक्ताद्वारा यस्तै लेखिएको थियो,
And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, —for, so, is it written through the prophet:
6 ‘र यहूदाको देशमा, ए बेथलेहम, यहूदाका शासकहरूभन्दा तँ कुनै कम छैनस्, किनकि तँबाट एक जना शासक आउनुहुनेछ जसले मेरा मानिस इस्राएलको हेरचाह गर्नुहुनेछ’ ।”
And, thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means least, art thou, among the governors of Judah, —For, out of thee, shall one come forth to govern, Who shall shepherd my people Israel.
7 त्यसपछि ठिक कुन समयमा तारा देखा परेको थियो भनी सोध्न हेरोदले गुप्त रूपमा ती ज्ञानी मानिसहरूलाई बोलाए ।
Then Herod, privately, calling the wise men, ascertained from them the time of the appearing star;
8 उनले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भन्दै बेथलेहेम पठाए, “जाओ र राम्रोसँग त्यस बालकलाई खोज । जब उनलाई भेट्टाउनेछौ, मलाई खबर गर ताकि म पनि गएर उनलाई दण्डवत् गर्न सकूँ ।”
and sending them to Bethlehem, said—Go search out accurately concerning the child, —and, as soon as ye find it, bring report unto me, that, I also, may come and bow myself down to it.
9 तिनीहरूले राजाले भनेका कुरा सुनेपछि तिनीहरू आफ्नो बाटो लागे अनि तिनीहरूले पूर्वमा देखेका तारा तिनीहरूका अगि-अगि गए, र सानो बालक भएको ठाउँमा आइपुग्दा त्यो तारा त्यही ठाउँमाथि रोकियो ।
Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was;
10 जब तिनीहरूले त्यो तारा देखे, तिनीहरू हर्षले अति आनन्दित भए ।
and, seeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;
11 तिनीहरू घरभित्र पसे र सानो बालकलाई उहाँकी आमा मरियमको साथमा देखे । तिनीहरूले दण्डवत् गरे र उहाँको आराधना गरे । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना बहुमूल्य कुराहरू निकाले र उहाँलाई सुन, सुगन्धित धूप र मूर्रका उपहारहरू चढाए ।
and, coming into the house, they saw the child, with Mary its mother, —and, falling down, prostrated themselves unto it, and, opening their treasures, offered unto it gifts—gold and frankincense and myrrh;
12 परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई हेरोदकहाँ फर्की नजानू भनी सपनामा चेतावनी दिनुभयो । त्यसैले, तिनीहरू अर्कै बाटो भएर आ-आफ्नै देशमा गए ।
and, being instructed by dream, not to return unto Herod, by another way, retired they unto their own country.
13 तिनीहरू गइसकेपछि परमप्रभुका एउटा दूत योसेफकहाँ सपनामा देखा परे र भने, “उठ, सानो बालक र उहाँकी आमालाई लिएर मिश्र देशमा भागेर जाऊ । मैले नभनेसम्म त्यहीँ बस, किनकि हेरोदले सानो बालकलाई मार्न उहाँलाई खोज्नेछ ।”
Now, when they had retired, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph, saying, Arise, take unto thee the child and its mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there, until I tell thee, —for Herod is about to seek the child, to destroy it.
14 त्यो रात योसेफ उठे र सानो बालक र उहाँकी आमालाई लिए अनि मिश्रदेशतर्फ प्रस्थान गरे ।
And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;
15 हेरोदको मृत्यु नभएसम्म उनी त्यहीँ बसे । अगमवक्ताद्वारा परमप्रभुले भन्नुभएको कुरा यसरी पुरा भयो, “मैले आफ्ना पुत्रलाई मिश्रदेशबाट बोलाएको छु ।”
and was there, until the death of Herod, —that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt, called I my son.
16 त्यसपछि जब हेरोदले आफू ती ज्ञानी मानिसहरूबाट छलिएको कुरा थाहा पाए, उनी औधी रिसाए । ती ज्ञानी मानिसहरूबाट उनले निर्धारण गरेका समयअनुसार त्यस क्षेत्रका दुई वर्ष पुगेका र त्योभन्दा मुनिका बालकहरूलाई र बेथलेहेमका सबै पुरुष बालकलाई मानिसहरू पठाएर मार्न लगाए ।
Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly enraged, —and sent and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.
17 यसरी यर्मिया अगमवक्ताद्वारा जे भनिएको थियो, त्यो पुरा भयो,
Then was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
18 “रामामा एउटा आवाज सुनियो, रोदन र ठुलो विलाप, बालकहरूका निम्ति राहेलको रोदन, र सान्त्वना तिनले इन्कार गरिन्, किनकि तिनका बालकहरू अब रहेनन् ।”
A voice, in Ramah, was heard, weeping and great mourning, —Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, —because they are not.
19 जब हेरोद मरे, हेर, परमप्रभुका एक जना दूत मिश्रमा योसेफकहाँ सपनामा देखा परे अनि उनलाई भने,
But, when Herod was, dead, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph in Egypt;
20 “उठ, अनि बालक र उहाँकी आमालाई लिएर इस्राएल देशमा जाऊ, किनकि जसले बालकलाई मार्न चाहेका थिए, तिनीहरू मरिसकेका छन् ।”
saying—Arise! and take unto thee the child and its mother, and be journeying into the land of Israel, —for they are dead, who were seeking the life of the child.
21 योसेफ उठे, अनि बालक र उहाँकी आमालाई लिएर इस्राएल देशमा आए ।
And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.
22 तर जब यहूदियामा आफ्ना बुबा हेरोदको ठाउँमा अर्खिलाउसले शासन गरिरहेका उनले सुने, उनी त्यहाँ जान डराए । परमप्रभुले सपनामा चेतावनी दिनुभएपछि उनी गालीलको क्षेत्रतिर लागे,
Hearing, however, that, Archelaus, was reigning over Judaea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid, thither, to go, —and so, being instructed by dream, he retired into the parts of Galilee;
23 र नासरत भनिने सहरमा गएर बसे । “उहाँलाई नासरी भनिनेछ” भनेर अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा बोलिएको वचन यसरी पुरा भयो ।
and came and fixed his dwelling in a city called Nazareth, —that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets—A Nazarene, shall he be called.
