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 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,

²anda ilul llufan-nni ara yilin d agellid n wat Isṛail ? Axaṭer nwala-d itri-ines si cceṛq, nusa-d a t-neɛbed.

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.”

³Agellid Hiṛudus akk-d imezdaɣ n temdint n Lquds meṛṛa dehcen, yerwi lxaṭer-nsen mi slan s lexbaṛ-agi.

³When King Herod heard it, he 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.

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

⁵Nnan-as : Ahat di tmurt n Yahuda di taddart n Bitelḥem ! Axaṭer atan wayen i gura nnbi Mixa :

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

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

⁷Hiṛudus yessawel i imusnawen nni s tuffra, isteqsa-ten si melmi i walan itri-nni.

⁷Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

¹⁰Feṛḥen aṭas mi walan itri-nni.

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

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.

¹²Sidi Ṛebbi ixebbeṛ-iten-id di targit ur țțuɣalen ara ɣer Hiṛudus, dɣa uɣalen ɣer tmurt-nsen seg ubrid nniḍen.

¹²Being warned in a dream that they shouldn’t return to Herod, they went back to 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 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.”

¹⁴Yusef ikker yewwi aqcic-nni akk-d yemma-s deg iḍ, yerwel ɣer tmurt n Maṣeṛ.

¹⁴He arose and took the young 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 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

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, 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.

¹⁷Dɣa yețwakemmel wayen i d yenna nnbi Irmiya :

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

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

¹⁹Mi gemmut Hiṛudus ameqqran, lmelk n Sidi Ṛebbi iweḥḥa-d i Yusef di targit mi gella di tmurt n Maṣer,

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

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.”

²¹Yusef iddem aqcic-nni d yemma-s, yuɣal ɣer tmurt n wat Isṛail

²¹He arose and took the young child and his 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 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,

²³izdeɣ deg yiwet n taddart ițțusemman Naṣaret, iwakken ad yedṛu wayen i d-nnan lenbiya : Ad ițțusemmi Anaṣari.

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.”
