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:

¹Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,

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.

²Where 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.

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

³But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;

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

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

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

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

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.

⁶And *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.

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.

⁷Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;

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.

⁸and 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.

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.

⁹And 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.

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

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

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.

¹¹And 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.

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.

¹²And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

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.

¹³Now, 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.

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

¹⁴And, having arisen, he took to [him] the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.

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.

¹⁵And 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.

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.

¹⁶Then 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.

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

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

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.

¹⁸A voice has been heard in Rama, weeping, and great lamentation: Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

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

¹⁹But Herod having died, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,

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.

²⁰Arise, 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.

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

²¹And he arose and took to [him] the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;

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.

²²but 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,

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.

²³and 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 Nazaraean.
