Mātiu 2
1 Pea kuo ʻaloʻi ʻa Sisu ʻi Petelihema ʻi Siutea, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Helota ko e tuʻi, vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata poto mei he potu hahake ki Selūsalema,
Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,
2 ʻO pehē, “ʻOku ʻi fē ia ʻaia kuo ʻaloʻi ko e Tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu? He kuo mau mamata ʻi he potu hahake ki hono fetuʻu, pea kuo mau haʻu ke hū kiate ia.”
Where is the king of the Jews that has been born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.
3 Pea kuo fanongo ai ʻa Helota ko e tuʻi, naʻe puputuʻu ia, mo Selūsalema kotoa pē mo ia.
But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
4 Pea kuo fakakātoa ʻe ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē mo e kau tangata tohi ʻoe kakai, naʻe fakapapau ia meiate kinautolu pe ʻaloʻi ʻi fē ʻae Kalaisi.
and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
5 Pea nau pehēange kiate ia, “ʻI Petelihema ʻi Siutea: he ʻoku pehē hono tohi he palōfita.
And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:
6 ‘Ko Koe Petelihema, ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ko e siʻi hifo Koe ʻi he ngaahi ʻEiki ʻo Siuta: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu meiate Koe ha Pule, ʻaia te ne puleʻi hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli.”
And thou Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.
7 Pea toki fekau fakafufū ʻe Helota ke haʻu ʻae kau tangata poto, pea fehuʻi fakapapau kiate kinautolu pe naʻe hā mai ʻanefē ʻae fetuʻu.
Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;
8 Pea ne fekau ʻakinautolu ki Petelihema, ʻo ne pehē, “Mou ʻalu ʻo kumi lahi ki he tamasiʻi, pea ka mou ka ʻilo ia, mou fakahā mai kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu atu ʻo hū foki kiate ia.”
and having sent them to Bethlehem, said, Go, search out accurately concerning the child, and when ye shall have found [him] bring me back word, so that I also may come and do him homage.
9 Pea kuo nau fanongo ki he tuʻi, pea nau ʻalu; pea vakai, ko e fetuʻu naʻa nau mamata ai ʻi he potu hahake, naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo aʻu ki he potu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tamasiʻi pea tuʻu mei ai ʻi ʻolunga.
And they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it came and stood over the place where the little child was.
10 Pea ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he fetuʻu, naʻa nau fiefia ʻi he fiefia lahi ʻaupito.
And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 Pea ʻi heʻenau hū ki he fale, naʻa nau mamata ki he tamasiʻi naʻe ʻi heʻene faʻē ko Mele, mo nau fakatōmapeʻe ʻo hū kiate ia; pea kuo nau vete ʻenau koloa, naʻa nau ʻoatu kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa; ko e koula, mo e laipeno, mo e mula.
And having come into the house they saw the little child with Mary his mother, and falling down did him homage. And having opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Pea ʻi he valokia ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he misi, ke ʻoua te nau toe ʻalu kia Helota, naʻa nau ʻalu ki honau fonua ʻi ha hala kehe.
And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 Pea kuo ʻalu ʻakinautolu, ʻiloange, kuo hā mai ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki kia Siosefa ʻi he misi, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻave ʻae tamasiʻi mo ʻene faʻē, pea ke holatakiʻi ki ʻIsipite, pea ke nofo ai ke ʻoua ke u fakahā kiate koe: koeʻuhi ʻe kumi ʻe Helota ʻae tamasiʻi ke tāmateʻi ia.”
Now, they having departed, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Arise, take to [thee] the little child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee; for Herod will seek the little child to destroy it.
14 Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻae tamasiʻi mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he pō, ʻo ʻalu ki ʻIsipite:
And, having arisen, he took to [him] the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.
15 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ia ʻo aʻu ki he mate ʻa Helota: ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe he ʻEiki ʻi he palōfita, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u ui mai hoku foha mei ʻIsipite.”
And he was there until the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Pea kuo toki ʻilo ʻe Helota kuo kākaaʻi ia ʻe he kau tangata poto, pea ʻita lahi ʻaupito, mo ne fekau atu ki Petelihema mo e ngaahi potu ofi ki ai, ke tāmateʻi ʻae tamaiki tangata kotoa pē, ngata ʻi he ua taʻu ʻo ʻenau lahi ʻo fai ki mui; ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻaho naʻa ne fehuʻi fakapapau ai ki he kau tangata poto.
Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the magi, was greatly enraged; and sent and slew all the boys which [were] in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time which he had accurately inquired from the magi.
17 Pea naʻe toki fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita ko Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying,
18 “Naʻe ongoʻi ʻi Lama ʻae leʻo, ko e lāunga, mo e tangi, mo e tangilāulau, ko e tēngihia ʻe Lesieli ʻene fānau, pea ʻikai te ne tali ʻae fiemālie, koeʻuhi kuo ʻikai ʻakinautolu.”
A voice has been heard in Rama, weeping, and great lamentation: Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 Ka kuo mate ʻa Helota, pea vakai, naʻe hā mai ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki kia Siosefa ʻi he misi ʻi ʻIsipite,
But Herod having died, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 ʻO ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake, pea ʻave ʻae tamasiʻi mo ʻene faʻē, pea ʻalu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; he kuo mate ʻakinautolu naʻe kumi ki he moʻui ʻae tamasiʻi.”
Arise, take to [thee] the little child and its mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the little child are dead.
21 Pea tuʻu hake ia ʻo ʻave ʻae tamasiʻi mo ʻene faʻē, pea haʻu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.
And he arose and took to [him] the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;
22 Ka ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻoku pule ʻa ʻAkileosi ʻi Siutea ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko Helota, naʻe manavahē ia ke ʻalu ki ai: pea ʻi he valoki ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he misi, naʻa ne afe ki he ngaahi potu ʻo Kaleli:
but having heard that 'Archelaus reigns over Judaea, instead of Herod his father,' he was afraid to go there; and having been divinely instructed in a dream, he went away into the parts of Galilee,
23 Pea haʻu ia ʻo nofo ʻi he kolo ko Nāsaleti: koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he kau palōfita, “ʻE ui ia ko e Nāsaline.”
and came and dwelt in a town called Nazareth; so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, He shall be called a Nazaraene.
