¹Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

¹Jezuz o vezañ bet ganet e Betlehem Judea, en amzer ar roue Herodez, setu e teuas majed eus ar sav-heol da Jeruzalem, en ur lavarout:

²Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

²Pelec'h emañ an hini a zo ganet da roue d'ar Yuzevien? Rak gwelet hon eus e steredenn er sav-heol, ha deuet omp d'e azeuliñ.

³When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

³Pa glevas ar roue Herodez kement-se, e voe trubuilhet, hag holl Jeruzalem gantañ.

⁴And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

⁴O vezañ dastumet an holl veleien vras ha skribed ar bobl, e c'houlennas diganto pelec'h e tlee bezañ ganet ar C'hrist.

⁵And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

⁵Int a lavaras dezhañ: E Betlehem Judea; rak evel-henn eo bet skrivet gant ar profed:

⁶And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

⁶Ha te, Betlehem, douar Judea, n'out ket an disterañ e-touez kêrioù pennañ Judea; rak ac'hanout eo, e teuio ur penn a reno va fobl Israel.

⁷Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

⁷Neuze Herodez, o vezañ galvet ar majed e-kuzh, a c'houlennas gant preder diganto e pe amzer e oa en em ziskouezet ar steredenn dezho.

⁸And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

⁸Hag, o kas anezho da Vetlehem, e lavaras: It, ha goulennit gant preder pelec'h emañ ar bugel bihan-se; ha pa ho po e gavet, roit din da anavezout, evit ma'z in me ivez d'e azeuliñ.

⁹When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

⁹Ar re-mañ, goude bezañ klevet ar roue, a yeas kuit; ha setu, ar steredenn o devoa gwelet er sav-heol, a yae en o raok, betek ma teuas ha ma chomas a-us d'ul lec'h ma oa ar bugel bihan.

¹⁰When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

¹⁰Pa weljont ar steredenn, e voe karget o c'halonoù gant levenez.

¹¹And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

¹¹O vezañ aet en ti, e kavjont ar bugel gant Mari e vamm, hag, oc'h en em stouiñ d'an douar, ec'h azeuljont anezhañ; ha goude bezañ digoret o zeñzorioù, e kinnigjont dezhañ profoù: aour, ezañs ha mir.

¹²And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

¹²O vezañ bet aliet gant Doue, dre un huñvre, ne zistrojont ket da gavout Herodez; mont a rejont d'o bro dre un hent all.

¹³And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

¹³Goude ma oant aet kuit, setu, un ael eus an Aotrou en em ziskouezas da Jozef, dre un huñvre, en ur lavarout: Sav, kemer ar bugel hag e vamm, tec'h en Ejipt, ha chom eno betek e lavarin dit; rak Herodez a glasko ar bugel evit e lakaat d'ar marv.

¹⁴When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

¹⁴Eñ, o vezañ savet, a gemeras ar bugel bihan hag e vamm e-pad an noz, hag en em dennas en Ejipt.

¹⁵And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

¹⁵Hag e chomas eno betek ma varvas Herodez, evit ma vije peurc'hraet ar pezh en devoa an Aotrou lavaret dre ar profed: Galvet em eus va mab eus Ejipt.

¹⁶Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.

¹⁶Neuze Herodez, o welout o devoa ar majed graet goap anezhañ, a voe en ur gounnar vras, hag a gasas da lazhañ an holl vugale a zaou vloaz ha yaouankoc'h, e Betlehem hag en e vro a-bezh, hervez an amzer en devoa goulennet gant preder digant ar vajed.

¹⁷Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,

¹⁷Neuze e voe peurc'hraet ar pezh a oa bet lavaret gant ar profed Jeremia:

¹⁸In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

¹⁸Garmoù a zo bet klevet e Rama, hirvoudoù, gouelvan ha klemmvanoù bras: Rachel o ouelañ he bugale; ne fellas ket dezhi bezañ dic'hlac'haret, abalamour n'emaint mui.

¹⁹But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

¹⁹Goude marv Herodez, setu, un ael eus an Aotrou en em ziskouezas da Jozef en Ejipt, dre un huñvre, o lavarout:

²⁰Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

²⁰Sav, kemer ar bugel bihan hag e vamm, ha distro da vro-Israel, rak ar re a glaske ar bugel evit e lazhañ, a zo marv.

²¹And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

²¹Hemañ, o vezañ savet, a gemeras ar bugel hag e vamm, hag a zeuas e bro-Israel.

²²But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

²²Met, pa glevas e rene Arkelauz e Judea e-lec'h e dad Herodez, en devoe aon da vont di; o vezañ bet aliet gant Doue dre un huñvre, en em dennas e kostezioù Galilea.

²³And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

²³Chom a reas en ur gêr anvet Nazared, evit ma vije peurc'hraet ar pezh a oa bet lavaret gant ar brofeded: Galvet e vo Nazaredad.
