¹Yesus putu hi ngata Betlehem tana' Yudea nto'u poparenta-na Magau' Herodes. Nto'u toe, ba hangkuja dua tauna rata hi Yerusalem ngkai ngata to molaa tono' mata'eo. Torata toera, tauna to nginca mponaa tanda hi betue'.

¹Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

²Mepekune' -ra hi pue' ngata Yerusalem, ra'uli': "Hiapa-idi Ana' to lako' putu to jadi' Magau' to Yahudi-e? Hi mata'eo kihilo betue' to mpobatuai kaputu-na. Toe pai' tumai-kai doko' mpopue' -i."

²Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

³Kana'epe-na Magau' Herodes karia-na ana' to jadi' magau' mpai', konce pai' koro' -imi, wae wo'o hawe'ea tauna hi Yerusalem.

³And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

⁴Ngkai ree, kanakio' -rami hawe'ea imam pangkeni hante guru-guru agama Yahudi tumai moromu. Kahiruru' -ra omea-mi, napekune' -ra: "Hiapa mpu'u-koiwo kaputua-na Magau' Topetolo' to najanci Alata'ala owi-e?"

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

⁵Ratompoi' -i hewa toi: "Hi ngata Betlehem tana' Yudea. Ki'inca toe, apa' ria Lolita Pue' to na'uki' hadua nabi owi-e. Na'uli' Pue':

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

⁶`Ngata Betlehem hi tana' Yehuda, ngata to kedi' -wadi. Aga nau' wae, bohe lau-pi mpai' hanga' -na ngkai hawe'ea ngata bohe hi tana' Yehuda. Apa' ngkai Betlehem toe mpai', mehupa' hadua Pangkeni to mpokeni ntodea-ku to Israel.'"

⁶And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.

⁷Kana'epe-na Herodes lolita toe, nakio' bongo-ramo to nginca mponaa betue' toera mpohirua' -ki bona uma ra'incai tau ntani' -na. Napekune' -ra ba nto'uma mpu'u betue' toe lomo' -na mehupa'.

⁷Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared.

⁸Oti toe, nahubui-ramo hilou hi Betlehem, na'uli' -raka: "Hilou-mokoi hi Betlehem, nipewulihi' lompe' kahiapa-na Ana' tetui. Ane nirua' -ipi, tumai-mokoi mpo'uli' -ka, bona hilou wo'o-a-kuwo mpopue' -i."

⁸And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found [him,] bring me word, that I also may come and worship him.

¹⁰Kahilou-rami. Hi lengko ohea, rahilo wo'o-mi betue' to rahilo hi tono' mata'eo-e wengi. Uma-pi mowo kagoe' -ra mpohilo betue' toe. Betue' toe mpori'uluhi-ra duu' -na mento'o hintoto po'ohaa' Ana' toei.

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

¹¹Karata-ra, mesua' -ramo hi rala tomi, mpohilo Ana' toei hante Maria, tina-na. Mowilingkudu-ramo mpopue' -i. Oti toe, karabongka-nami pontimamahia rewa-ra, pai' rajuju-mi pepue' -ra hi Ana' toei. Pepue' -ra toe: bulawa, pai' anu mohonga to masuli' oli-na to rahanga' dupa' pai' mur.

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

¹²Oti toe, Alata'ala mpololitai-ra hi rala ompo' -ra, na'uli' -raka: "Neo' -pokoi nculii' hi Herodes!" Jadi' ponculia' -ra toe, uma-rapa ntara hi Yerusalem, meleli' -ramo ntara hi ohea ntani' -na.

¹¹And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

¹³Pe'ongko' -ra to nginca mponaa betue' toera, mehupa' wo'o-mi mala'eka Pue' hi Yusuf hi rala ompo' -na. Na'uli' mala'eka toei: "Yusuf! Herodes mpopali' Ana' tetui doko' napatehi. Memata-moko, keni-imi Ana' tetui hante tina-na, malai-koi hilou hi tana' Mesir! Mo'oha' -mokoi ulu hi ria duu' -na ria lolita-ku mpai' mpo'uli' -kokoi."

¹²And being warned [of God] in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

¹⁴Pemata-nami Yusuf, pai' hi bengi toe palai-nami mpokeni Maria pai' Yesus hilou hi Mesir.

¹³Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

¹⁵Mo'oha' -ramo hi ria duu' -na Magau' Herodes mate. Jadi', Yesus rakeni hilou hi tana' Mesir toe, bona ane rakeni nculii' -ipi mpai', madupa' -mi Lolita Pue' to napohowa' nabi owi to mpo'uli': "Kukio' Ana' -ku tumai ngkai Mesir."

¹⁴And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt;

¹⁶Kana'inca-na Herodes karapakawa' -na to nginca mponaa betue' toera, uma-pi mowo roe-na. Toe pai' nahawai' tantara-na hilou mpopatehi hawe'ea ana' tomane hi Betlehem pai' hi ngata to ntololikia-na, bona ngalai' ana' to jadi' magau' toei mpai' rapohipatehii. Na'inca moto Herodes nto'uma lomo' pehupa' -na betue' toe, apa' napekune' wengi hi to nginca mponaa betue' toera. Toe pai' napehubui bona hawe'ea ana' tomane hi Betlehem rapatehi, ngkai ana'lei to lako' putu duu' rata hi ana' to rompae-mi umuru-ra.

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 did I call my son.

¹⁷Kajadia' toe mpopadupa' Lolita Pue' to napohowa' nabi Yeremia owi, to mpo'uli' hewa toi:

¹⁶Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men.

¹⁸"Hi ngata Rama uma mowo pogeo' pai' potantangi'. Rahel mpotantangii' ana' -ana' -na. Uma-i ma'ala tanta'ua, apa' uma-rapa ria."

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

¹⁹Bula-ra Yusuf, Maria pai' Yesus hi Mesir, Magau' Herodes mate. Oti toe, mehupa' wo'o-imi mala'eka Pue' hi Yusuf hi rala ompo' -na.

¹⁸A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not.

²⁰Na'uli' mala'eka toei: "Tauna to doko' mpopatehi Ana' tetui, mate-imi. Wae-pi, memata-moko, keni-imi Ana' tetui ntali tina-na, nculii' -mokoi hilou hi tana' Israel."

¹⁹But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,

²¹Memata mpu'u-imi Yusuf mpokeni Ana' toei hante Maria, nculii' hi tana' to Israel.

²⁰Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought the young child's life.

²²Tapi' na'epe Yusuf, Arkelaus ana' Herodes mposampei tuama-na jadi' magau' hi tana' Yudea. Toe pai' me'eka' -i hilou hi ria. Ngkai ree, ria wo'o-mi petudui' Pue' to nahilo Yusuf hi rala ompo' -na. Toe pai' hilou-ramo hi tana' Galilea,

²¹And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

²³pai' mo'oha' -ra hi ngata to rahanga' Nazaret. Ngkai toe wo'o-mi, madupa' -mi lolita nabi owi to mpolowa Ana' toei, to mpo'uli': Hi'a mpai' rakahangai' to Nazaret.

²²But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned [of God] in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,

²³and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene.
