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 when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men The word for “wise men” (magoi) can also mean teachers, scientists, physicians, astrologers, seers, interpreters of dreams, or sorcerers. from the east came to 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.

²“Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”

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

³When King Herod heard it, he 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.

⁴Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.

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

⁵They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this 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.

⁶‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah: for out of you shall come forth a governor, who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’” Micah 5:2

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 secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.

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.

⁸He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”

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.

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

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

¹⁰When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly 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.

¹¹They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, 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.

¹²Being warned in a dream that they shouldn’t return to Herod, they went back to 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 when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph 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.”

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

¹⁴He arose and took the young 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 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.” Hosea 11:1

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, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.

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

¹⁷Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, 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.

¹⁸“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.” Jeremiah 31:15

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

¹⁹But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared 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.

²⁰“Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”

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

²¹He arose and took the young child and his 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 when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region 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 lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
