1Sidna Ɛisa ilul di taddart n Bitelḥem, di tmurt n Yahuda di lweqt n ugellid Hiṛudus ameqqran, kra n imusnawen usan-d si cceṛq ɣer temdint n Lquds, iwakken ad steqsin :
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,
2anda ilul llufan-nni ara yilin d agellid n wat Isṛail ? Axaṭer nwala-d itri-ines si cceṛq, nusa-d a t-neɛbed.
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.
3Agellid Hiṛudus akk-d imezdaɣ n temdint n Lquds meṛṛa dehcen, yerwi lxaṭer-nsen mi slan s lexbaṛ-agi.
3But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
4Hiṛudus yesnejmaɛ-ed akk lmuqedmin d lɛulama n wegdud, isteqsa-ten ɣef wemkan anda ara d-ilal Lmasiḥ ara d-yasen.
4and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
5Nnan-as : Ahat di tmurt n Yahuda di taddart n Bitelḥem ! Axaṭer atan wayen i gura nnbi Mixa :
5And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:
6I kemm a taddart n Bitelḥem, ur telliḍ ara ț-țaneggarut ger temdinin n Yahuda, axaṭer seg-em ara d-iffeɣ ugellid ara yeksen at Isṛail agdud-iw.
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.
7Hiṛudus yessawel i imusnawen nni s tuffra, isteqsa-ten si melmi i walan itri-nni.
7Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;
8Dɣa iceggeɛ-iten ɣer Bitelḥem, yenna-yasen : Nadit lexbaṛ n ṣṣeḥ ɣef weqcic-agi, m'ara t-tafem, init-iyi-d iwakken ad ṛuḥeɣ ula d nekk a t-ɛabdeɣ.
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.
9Mi slan i ugellid, ṛuḥen. AAkken kan i ffɣen, walan itri-nni i ẓran di cceṛq yezwar, iteddu zdat-sen. MMi gewweḍ sennig wemkan anda yella weqcic-nni, yeḥbes.
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.
10Feṛḥen aṭas mi walan itri-nni.
10And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11Kecmen ɣer wexxam-nni, walan llufan akk-d yemma-s Meryem ; tɛeǧben s weqcic-nni dɣa seǧǧden zdat-es. FFsin tiyemmusin-nsen, fkan-as tirezfin : ddheb, lebxuṛ akk-d leɛṭeṛ ɣlayen.
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.
12Sidi Ṛebbi ixebbeṛ-iten-id di targit ur țțuɣalen ara ɣer Hiṛudus, dɣa uɣalen ɣer tmurt-nsen seg ubrid nniḍen.
12And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13Mi ṛuḥen, lmelk n Sidi Ṛebbi idheṛ-as-ed i Yusef di targit, yenna-yas-ed :-- Kker, ddem aqcic akk-d yemma-s, rewlet ɣer tmurt n Maṣeṛ, qqimet dinna alamma nniɣ-ak-ed a d-tuɣaleḍ, axaṭer Hiṛudus ad iqelleb ɣef weqcic-agi iwakken a t-ineɣ.
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.
14Yusef ikker yewwi aqcic-nni akk-d yemma-s deg iḍ, yerwel ɣer tmurt n Maṣeṛ.
14And, having arisen, he took to [him] the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.
15Yeqqim dinna armi yemmut Hiṛudus, iwakken ad idṛu wayen i d-yenna Sidi Ṛebbi seg imi n nnbi Huceɛ : Ssawleɣ-as i Mmi a d-iffeɣ si tmurt n Maṣer.
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.
16Mi gwala Hiṛudus belli kelxen-t imusnawen-nni, ikcem-it zzɛaf d ameqqran, iceggeɛ ɣer taddart n Bitelḥem akk-d ț-țmura i s-d-izzin, ad nɣen arrac meṛṛa yesɛan si sin iseggasen d akessar, s wakken yella leḥsab i s-d-fkan imusnawen-nni.
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.
17Dɣa yețwakemmel wayen i d yenna nnbi Irmiya :
17Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying,
18Yekker leɛyaḍ di taddart n Rama, nesla i imeṭṭawen d umeǧǧed, d Ṛaḥil i gețrun ɣef warraw-is, tegguma aț-țesbeṛ fell-asen, axaṭer mmuten.
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.
19Mi gemmut Hiṛudus ameqqran, lmelk n Sidi Ṛebbi iweḥḥa-d i Yusef di targit mi gella di tmurt n Maṣer,
19But Herod having died, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20yenna-yas : Kker, ddem aqcic d yemma-s tuɣaleḍ ɣer tmurt n wat Isṛail, axaṭer wid yebɣan ad nɣen aqcic-nni, mmuten.
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.
21Yusef iddem aqcic-nni d yemma-s, yuɣal ɣer tmurt n wat Isṛail
21And he arose and took to [him] the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;
22Meɛna mi gesla belli d Aṛxilyus mmi-s n Hiṛudus, i gellan d agellid ɣef tmurt n Yahuda, yuggad. SSidi Ṛebbi iɛeggen-as-ed di targit, iṛuḥ ɣer tmurt n Jlili,
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,
23izdeɣ deg yiwet n taddart ițțusemman Naṣaret, iwakken ad yedṛu wayen i d-nnan lenbiya : Ad ițțusemmi Anaṣari.
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.
