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,
1Nak cuânk chok' rey laj Herodes, li Jesús quiyo'la aran Belén xcuênt Judea. Cuanqueb aj k'e que'chal chak sa' releb sak'e ut que'cuulac Jerusalén.
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.
2Que'patz'oc ut que'xye: -¿Bar cuan lix reyeb laj judío xyo'la? Xochal xban nak xkil chak toj sa' releb sak'e li chahim retalil lix yo'lajic ut xochal chixlok'oninquil, chanqueb.
3When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
3Ut nak quirabi a'an, li rey Herodes quisach xch'ôl ut qui-oc xc'a'ux jo' ajcui' chixjunileb li cuanqueb Jerusalén.
4And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
4Ut laj Herodes quixch'utubeb chixjunil li xbênil aj tij jo' eb ajcui' laj tz'îb sa' li tenamit ut quixpatz' reheb bar tâyo'lâk li Cristo.
5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
5Ut eb a'an que'chak'oc ut que'xye re: -Aran Belén xcuênt Judea xban nak jo'can tz'îbanbil chak xban li profeta.
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.
6Jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: Li tenamit Belén, xch'och'eb laj Judá, moco k'axal ca'ch'in ta lix cuanquil sa' xyânkeb li xnînkal ru tenamit re Judá xban nak aran tâêlk jun Acuabej ut a'an tâberesînk re lin tenamit Israel. (Miq. 5:2)
7Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
7Tojo'nak laj Herodes quixbokeb laj k'e sa' mukmu ut quixpatz' reheb jok'e tz'akal quic'utun li chahim.
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.
8Ut nak quixtaklaheb Belén quixye reheb: -Ayukex aran Belén ut q'uehomak êch'ôl chixsic'bal toj retal têtau li c'ula'al. Ut nak têtau chak, tolêye cue re nak tinxic ajcui' lâin ut toxinlok'oni chak, chan.
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.
9Ut nak que'rabi li quixye li rey, eb laj k'e que'côeb. Ut li chahim li que'ril chak sa' releb sak'e yô chi xic c'amol be chiruheb tojo'nak quixakli sa' xbên li na'ajej cuan cui' li c'ula'al.
10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
10Ut c'ajo' nak que'saho' sa' xch'ôleb chirilbal li chahim nak quixakli sa' xbên li na'ajej a'an.
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.
11Ut nak que'oc sa' li cab, que'xtau li c'ula'al rochben lix María li na'bej. Ut que'xcuik'ib rib chiru li Jesús ut que'xlok'oni. Ut que'xte lix c'ûlebâleb ut que'xq'ue lix mâtan. Ut li mâtan li que'xq'ue, a'an li oro, li incienso ut li sununquil ban mirra xc'aba'.
12And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
12Ut que'c'utbesîc chiruheb xban li Dios sa' xmatq'ueb nak inc'a' chic te'suk'îk riq'uin laj Herodes. Sa' jalan chic be que'xc'am nak que'suk'i sa' xtenamiteb.
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.
13Ut nak ac xcôeb laj k'e, jun x-ángel li Kâcua' quixc'ut rib chiru laj José sa' xmatc' ut quixye re: -Cuaclin, c'am li c'ula'al jo' cui' lix na'. Tex-êlk arin ut ayukex sa' li tenamit Egipto. Ut aran texcanâk toj lâin toxinyehok âcue. Tex-êlelik xban nak laj Herodes oc re chixsic'bal li c'ula'al re xcamsinquil.-
14When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
14Ut laj José qui-aj ru, quicuacli ut quixc'am li c'ula'al jo' cui' lix na' ut sa' ajcui' li k'ojyîn a'an que'côeb Egipto.
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.
15Ut que'cuan aran Egipto toj quicam laj Herodes. A'an quic'ulman jo' quixtz'îba li profeta li quiyehe' re xban li Kâcua' nak quixye: Sa' li tenamit Egipto quinbok chak li cualal, chan. (Ose. 11:1)
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.
16A'ut laj Herodes nak quiril nak quibalak'îc xbaneb laj k'e, k'axal nak quichal xjosk'il. Ut quixtakla xcamsinquil chixjunileb li coc' têlom cuanqueb Belén, jo' cui' sa' eb li na'ajej cuanqueb chixc'atk. Que'camsîc chixjunileb li coc' têlom li toj c'ula'aleb jun xxiquic aj ca'cab chihab xban nak quixbir rix c'a'ru li cutan quiyo'la cui' li c'ula'al jo' quiyehe' re xbaneb laj k'e.
17Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
17Jo'can nak quitz'akloc ru li yebil xban li profeta Jeremías nak quixye chi jo'ca'in:
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.
18Qui-abîc li yâbac sa' li tenamit Ramá xban li nimla rahil ch'ôlej, ut yot'ba ch'ôlej li que'xc'ul. A'an eb li ixk aj Israel nak yôqueb chi yâbac chirixeb lix coc'al. Ut inc'a' chic neque'raj xc'ojobanquil xch'ôleb xban nak ac camenakeb chic lix coc'aleb. (Jer. 31:15)
19But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
19Ut nak quicam laj Herodes, jun x-ángel li Kâcua' quixc'utbesi rib chiru laj José sa' xmatc' aran Egipto.
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.
20Ut quixye re: -Cuaclin. C'am li c'ula'al jo' cui' li na'bej ut texxic cui'chic sa' li tenamit Israel xban nak xe'cam li que'ajoc re xcamsinquil li c'ula'al, chan.
21And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
21Ut laj José quicuacli, quixc'am li c'ula'al jo' cui' lix na' ut quichal sa' li tenamit 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:
22Ut nak quirabi resil nak a' laj Arquelao chic li rey aran Judea rêkaj laj Herodes lix yucua', laj José quixucuac chi xic aran. Ut nak quic'utbesîc chiru sa' xmatc', que'côeb sa' jun na'ajej xcuênt Galilea.Que'chal ut que'cuan sa' jun li tenamit Nazaret xc'aba' xcuênt Galilea. A'in quic'ulman jo' que'xye li profeta nak que'xye nak aj Nazaret tixc'aba'in.
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.
23Que'chal ut que'cuan sa' jun li tenamit Nazaret xc'aba' xcuênt Galilea. A'in quic'ulman jo' que'xye li profeta nak que'xye nak aj Nazaret tixc'aba'in.
