NOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, lo! Magians from the East came to Jerusalem,
2 okv tvvkato, “Jius vdwgv Dvbv bv rijinv vmi anga nga ogolo bvngpv? Ngonu ninyigv takar a chaagu kiambv chaalin nama kaala ninyia kumdujodubv aapvnv.”
saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the East, and are come to pay him homage.
3 Vdwlo Dvbv Herod sum tvvpa tokudw, hv achialvbv mvngru toku, okv Jerusalem gv nyi mvnwng ngvka.
Now when Herod the king heard this, he was much agitated, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Nw Nyibu Butvnv mvnwngnga okv pvbv tamsarnv vdwa gokkum tola bunua tvvkato, “Ogolodw Kristonyi dwrwboklin jikuv?”
And assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he enquired of them, where the Messiah should be born.
5 “Judia mookugv Betlehem lo,” bunu mirwkto. “Vkvlvgavbolo nyijwk vdwv svbv lvkpvpv:
Then they answered him, In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet,
6 ‘Judah mookugv kvdw Betlehem a, no Judah mookugv pamtv mvnwng lokv miang nvgobv ribwng kumare; noogv lokv rigv nvgo linre, hv ngoogv Israel nyi vdwa rigvre.’”
“And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, art in no respect the least amongst the princes of Judah, for from thee shall go forth the Ruler, who shall conduct my people Israel.”
7 Vkvlvgabv Herod chaagu lokv kaalwknv nyi vdwa kvba doosi kolo goklwk toku okv bunugv lokv chintoku takar v dw tvrwk lo boklin pvnvnyi vla.
Thereupon Herod secretly calling to him the Magians, enquired very particularly of them the time of the star’s appearing,
8 Vbvrikunamv nw bunua svbv gaam mingv rikula Betlehem lo vngmu toku: “Vngnyika okv anga nga alvbv makar laka, okv vdwlo nonu mapa ridw, ngaaka chimu labv, ngo ka vngla ninyia kumdujodubv.”
and sending them to Bethlehem said, Go, and procure the most exact information respecting this child; and when you have found him, bring me intelligence, that I may come, and pay him homage also.
9 Okv vkvlvgabv bunu vngrap toku, okv bunugv lamtvlo bunu doonyi chaagu kiamgv takar kaanam anga lvkodv kaapa toku. Vdwlo bunu um kaapa tokudw, bunu achialvbv mvngpu laku, bunu achialv himpu punya toku! Hv bunua vngcho-vngcho gvla anga gv dooku lo vnglwk gvtoku.
So having heard the king, they went on; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the East, had gone before them, till it came and stood over the place where the infant was.
And when they saw the star, they were exceedingly transported with joy.
11 Bunu naam arwnglo aatoku, okv vdwlo bunu vmi anga nga anv Meri nga lvkobv doodubv kaato kudw, bunu lvbwng ngv kumpvla gublwk dvla ninyia kumtojotoku. Bunugv amin gvnamv ain go, nampunv tvli go, okv nampunv amokayok jungnv guka naalinla ninyia jitoku.
And coming into the house, they found the infant with Mary his mother, and falling prostrate, they paid their homage to him. And opening their treasures, they made their offerings to him, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Vbvrikunamv bunu akusunv lamtvbv vngla bunugv mooku lo vngkurla vngtoku, ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv bunua yumalo gamrwto Herod gv dookubv vngpit kumabvkv vla mintoku.
And having received warning in a dream not to go back to Herod, they departed into their own country by another road.
13 Bunugv vngyuro kochingbv, yuma goloka Ahtu gv nyidogindung gonv Josep gvlo aala mintoku, “Herod vmi anga nga mvkidubv vla ninyia makar kardu. Vkvlvgabv gudung tvka, okv vmi anga hala anv nga vnggv laila Ijipt lo kisum gvtoka, okv vdwlo ngo vnglakukv vla mima redw hoka doobwng laka.”
Now when they were gone, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the infant and his mother by night, and flee into Egypt, and stay there, till I speak to thee, for Herod will search for the infant to destroy it.
14 Josep dokrap toku, vmi anga hala anv nga vnggv laila ayu Ijipt lo kisum toku,
So rising up, he took the babe and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt,
15 Nw hoka Herod gv sima dvdvlobv dobwngto. So si Ahtu gv nyijwk vdwlo, minpvnam gaam “Ijipt lokv ngoogv Kuunyilo nga gokpv kunv,” vnam a jvjvbv rilin modukubv si ripvnv.
and was there till the death of Herod; that what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
16 Vdwlo Herod chaagu kiamgv kaalwknv nyi vdwv ninyia mvvpv kunvnyi vla chinto kudw, nw achialvbv dokcha toku.

Then Herod, perceiving that he was treated delusively by the Magians, was greatly exasperated, and he sent and slew all the male infants, that were in Bethlehem, and in all its territories, from their entering their second year and all under it, according to the time, which he had accurately enquired from the Magians.
17 Svbvrila nyijwk Jeremia gv minam v jvjv bv rilin toku:
Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18 “Rama lo dutv rungnv adu go tvvpadu, hidwkla kapnam adu go. Rakel gv kuu vdwv siro kunam lvkwngbv: nw maaku jimakv vla, siinyimar mvla kapdu.”
“A cry was heard at Ramah, lamentation, and wailing, and bitter moaning, Rachel weeping for her children, and will not be comforted, because they are no more.”
19 Herod gv siro kochingbv, Ahtu gv nyidogindung ako Ijipt lo Josep gv yumalo aalwk toku
Now when Herod was dead, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 okv minto, “Gudungto, vmi anga hala okv ninyigv anv nga naalaila, Israel mookubv vngkur tokuka, ogulvgavbolo vmia mvkidubv rungnv vdwv siroku.”
saying, Arise, and take the little boy and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the infant are dead.
21 Vkvlvgabv Josep gudung toku, vmi hala okv anv ha naalaila, Israel mookubv vngkur gvtoku.
So he arose, and took the child and his mother, and came unto the land of Israel.
22 Vbvritola vdwlo Josep Arkelaus Judia lo ninyigv abu Herod gv Dvbv svngtung nga svngsit pvkv vla tvvpa pvkudw, nw hoka vngdubv busuto. Ninyia yumalo abuyabv mintamto, vkvlvgabv hv Galili gv mooku lo vngtoku
But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the stead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither. And being divinely warned in a dream, he retired into the country of Galilee,
23 okv Najaret vnam banggu lo ninyigv naam a mvtoku. Okv vkvlvgabv nyijwk vdwgv “Ninyia Najarene vla minre” vnammv jvjvbv rilin toku.
and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that what was said by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he shall be called a Nazarean.
