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

¹And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came to Jerusalem,

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."

²saying, `Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.`

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

³And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,

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,

⁴and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.

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

⁵And they said to him, `In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it hath been written through the prophet,

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.'"

⁶And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee shall come one leading, who shall feed My people Israel.`

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

⁷Then Herod, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star,

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."

⁸and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, `Having gone — inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.`

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.

⁹And they, having heard the king, departed, and lo, the star, that they did see in the east, did go before them, till, having come, it stood over where the child was.

¹⁰Kana dikhle e chererhai, raduisaile zurales.

¹⁰And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy,

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.

¹¹and having come to the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down they bowed to him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh,

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

¹²and having been divinely warned in a dream not to turn back unto Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.

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."

¹³And on their having withdrawn, lo, a messenger of the Lord doth appear in a dream to Joseph, saying, `Having risen, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and be thou there till I may speak to thee, for Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.`

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

¹⁴And he, having risen, took the child and his mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,

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

¹⁵and he was there till the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, `Out of Egypt I did call My Son.`

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.

¹⁶Then Herod, having seen that he was deceived by the mages, was very wroth, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from the mages.

¹⁷Antunchi pherdilo so phendiasas o profeto Jeremiah.

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

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.

¹⁸`A voice in Ramah was heard — lamentation and weeping and much mourning — Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she would not be comforted because they are not.`

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

¹⁹And Herod having died, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream doth appear to Joseph in Egypt,

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."

²⁰saying, `Having risen, take the child and his mother, and be going to the land of Israel, for they have died — those seeking the life of the child.`

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

²¹And he, having risen, took the child and his mother, and came to the land of Israel,

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;

²²and having heard that Archelaus doth reign over Judea instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither, and having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to the parts of Galilee,

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

²³and coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophets, that `A Nazarene he shall be called.`
