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'.

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."

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.”

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

³When King Herod 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?"

⁴Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would 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':

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

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

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 secretly called the wise men, and learned from 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."

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

¹²Being warned in a dream that they shouldn’t return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.

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

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.”

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."

¹⁴He 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.

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 I called my son.” Hosea 11:1

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

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.

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

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

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 appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,

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

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.”

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,

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

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,

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.”
