< 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 when Yeshua was born in Beth-Lekhem of Yehuda in the days of Herod the king, look, Magushe from the east came to Urishlim, 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 he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him."
3 Pea kuo fanongo ai ʻa Helota ko e tuʻi, naʻe puputuʻu ia, mo Selūsalema kotoa pē mo ia.
And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Urishlim 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 gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Meshikha would 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 Beth-Lekhem of Yehuda, 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 you, Beth-Lekhem, land of Yehuda, are in no way least among the rulers of Yehuda; for out of you will come forth a ruler who will shepherd my people, Israyel.'"
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 secretly called the Magushe, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
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 he sent them to Beth-Lekhem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."
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 look, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young 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 exceedingly 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 they came into the house and saw the young child with Maryam, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, 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.
Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they went back to 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 when they had departed, look, an angel of the Lord appeared to Yauseph in a dream, saying, "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
14 Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻae tamasiʻi mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he pō, ʻo ʻalu ki ʻIsipite:
And he arose and took the young 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 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 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, when he saw that he was mocked by the Magushe, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Beth-Lekhem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the Magushe.
17 Pea naʻe toki fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita ko Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
Then that which was spoken by Aramiyah the prophet was fulfilled, 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 was heard in Ramtha, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are no more."
19 Ka kuo mate ʻa Helota, pea vakai, naʻe hā mai ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki kia Siosefa ʻi he misi ʻi ʻIsipite,
But when Herod was dead, look, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Yauseph 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 and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israyel, for those who sought the young child's life 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 the young child and his mother, and went to the land of Israyel.
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 when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Yehuda in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galila,
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 lived in a city called Natsrath; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he will be called a Natsraya.
