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

¹O Jesus arakhadilo ando Bethlehem ande Judea. Pe kodia vriama o Herod sas o amperato.

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

²Antunchi le manush kai jinenas le chererhaia avile anda Easto, ai aresle ande Jerusalem. Ai phushle, "Kai kodo kai arakhadilo o Amperato le Zhidovongo? Ame dikhliam leski cherarhai ando Easto, ai aviliam te preznais ai te luvudis les."

³And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

³Kana o amperato Herod ashundya pa kadia, darailo zurales, ai chi le manush kai sas ando Jerusalem lesa.

⁴And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.

⁴Chidia andek than sa le bare rasha, ai le manush kai ramon o zakono, ai phushlia le, "Kai trobulas te arakhadilo o Kristo?" Won phende leske,

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

⁵"Ando Bethlehem ande Judea. Ke kadia si so ramosardia o profeto,

⁶And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.

⁶Ai tu Bethlehem, phuv anda Judea, chi san e mai tsigni andal gazdi andai Judea; ke tutar avela iek gazda kai avela o pastuxo murho narodoske Israel.'"

⁷Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared.

⁷Porme o Herod chordanes akhardia le manushen kai jinenas le chererhaia, ai phushlia lendar e vorta vriama kai sikadili e chererhai.

⁸And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found [him,] bring me word, that I also may come and worship him.

⁸Wo tradia len ande Bethlehem ai phendia lenge, "Zhan ai roden mishto la glata; ai kana arakhena les, phenena i mange, te zhav vi me te preznaiv ai te luvudiv les."

⁹And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

⁹Kana ashunde ka o amperato, geletar. Ai e chererhai kai dikhlesas ando Easto, zhalas anglal lende, zhi pon aresle po than kai sas e glata.

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

¹⁰Kana dikhle e chererhai, raduisaile zurales.

¹¹And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

¹¹Kana aresle ando kher, dikhle la glata peska dasa e Maria. Thode pe ande changende ai preznaisarde ai luvudisarde les, porme phuterde penge gone, ai dine les podarki: sumnakai, frankincense ai mirrh.

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

¹²O Del phendia lenge ando suno te na zhan palpale ka Herod; anda kodia gele pa kaver drom te zhan palpale ande pengo them.

¹³Now when they were departed, behold, an 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 tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

¹³Kana geletar le manush kai jinenas le chererhaia, iek angelo le Devlesko avisailo ka Josef ando suno, ai phendia leske, "Wushti opre, le la glata ai leska da, ai zhatar ande Egypt, besh kotse zhi kai phenava tuke te aves palpale, ke o Herod si te rodel la glata te mudarel les."

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

¹⁴O Josef wushtilo, lia la glata ai leska da, ai geletar e riate ande Egypt.

¹⁵and 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 did I call my son.

¹⁵Beshle kotse zhi kai mulo o Herod. Te kerdiol so phendiasas o Del katar o profeto. "Akhardem murhe Shaves avri andai Egypt."

¹⁶Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men.

¹⁶Kana o Herod haliardia ke le manush kai jinenas le chererhaia athade les, xolialo zurales. Ai tradia te mudaren sa le shavorhen kai sas ando Bethlehem ai vi avrial kai sas dui bershenge ai mai terne, pala e vriama kai sichilosas katar le manush kai jinen le chrerhaia.

¹⁷Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

¹⁷Antunchi pherdilo so phendiasas o profeto Jeremiah.

¹⁸A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not.

¹⁸"Iek glaso ashundilo ande Rama, roimos ai huhuimos. E Rachel rovelas peske shaven; ai chi manglias te pochin la, ke lake glate na mas.

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

¹⁹Kana o Herod mulo, ek angelo le Devlesko avisailo ando suno ka Josef ande Egypt,

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

²⁰ai phendia leske, "Wushti opre, le la glata ai leska da, ai zha palpale ande Israel, ke kodola kai rodenas te mudaren la glata mule."

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

²¹O Josef wushtilo, lia la glata ai leska da ai gele ande Israel.

²²But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned [of God] in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,

²²Numa kana ashundias ke o Archelaus ashilo amperato ande Juda ando than pesko dadesko o Herod, darailo te zhal kotse. Ai ke phendosas leske ando suno katar o Del gelo ande Galilee;

²³and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene.

²³Gelo te beshel ando foro Nazareth, te pherdiol so sas phendo katar le profeturia,, ke si te akharen les Nazarene.
