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,

¹YA mafañago si Jesus guiya Betlehem Judea gui jaanin ray Herodes, estagüe y manfaye na manmato guinin y sancatan para Jerusalem,

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.”

²Ylegñija: mangue y ray Judios, ni mafañago? Sa y estreyasña inlie gui sancatan ya manmatojam para inadoragüe.

³When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

³Ya anae jajungog este, si ray Herodes, inistotba yan todo y taotao Jerusalem locue.

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

⁴Ya anae maagange todo y prinsipen mamale yan y escriba sija güije na tano, manfinaesen mano nae mafañago si Cristo.

⁵They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,

⁵Sija ilegñija: Iya Betlehem Judea; sa taegüine y munjayan matugue pot y profeta:

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

⁶Ya jago Betlehem, tano Juda, ada ti sendiquique jao gui entalo y prinsipen Juda, sa iya jago nae ujuyong y magalaje, para upasto y taotaojo, Israel.

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

⁷Entonses si Herodes, anae jaagang y manfaye gui secreto, jaquequetungo guiya sija, ngaean y estreyas nae malie.

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.”

⁸Ya Jatago sija para Betlehem, ilegña: Janao fanmalag ayo guato ya inalula manmamaesen pot y patgon; yaguin esta inseda, insangane yo; ya jufato locue ya juadora güe.

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.

⁹Ya anae munjayan jajungog y sinangan ray, manmapos; ya estagüe y estreyas ni y jalie gui sancatan, na mofona gui menañija asta qui mato ya sumaga gui anae estaba y patgon.

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

¹⁰Anae malie y estreyas, gosdangculo minagofñija.

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.

¹¹¶ Anae manjalom gui guima, jasoda y patgon yan y nanaña, as Maria, ya mandimo ya maadora; ya mababa y güinajañija ya manae güe: oro, insenso, yan mira.

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

¹²Ya manmasangane pot si Yuus gui güinife, na ti ufanmalag as Herodes, manjanao para y tanoñija gui otro chalan.

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.”

¹³¶ Ya anae manmapos sija, y angjet y Señot mato gui as José gui güinife, ya ilegña: Cajulo ya uncone y patgon yan si nanaña, ya infanjanao para Egipto, ya infañaga güije, asta qui guajojao sumangane; sa si Herodes jaaligao y patgon para umapuno.

¹⁴He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,

¹⁴Ya cajulo güe, ya jacone y patgon yan si nanaña gui puenge ya manjanao para Egipto;

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

¹⁵Ya sumaga güije asta que matae si Herodes, sa para umacumple y sinangan y Señot pot y profeta, na ilegña: Iya Egipto nae, juagang y Lajijo.

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.

¹⁶¶ Si Herodes, anae jalie na mamofea güe ni manfaye, gueflalalo ya manago na ufanmapuno todo y famaguon ni guaja guiya Betlehem yan gui todo oriyaña ni dos años sacanñija para papa, jaftaemanoja y tiempo anae ninatungo ni y manfaye.

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

¹⁷Ayo nae macumple esta, ni y guinin masangan pot y profeta Jeremias, na ilegña:

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

¹⁸Inagang na majungog guiya Rama umagang, tumangis yan cumasao na dangculo; si Raquel cumasao pot y famaguonña, ya ti malago maconsuela sa manaegüe.

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

¹⁹¶ Anae esta matae si Herodes, mato y angjet y Señot gui as José gui güinife, guiya Egipto,

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.”

²⁰Ya ilegña: Cajulo, cone y patgon yan si nanaña, ya infanjanao para y tano Israel; sa matae y cumequepuno y patgon.

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

²¹Ayo nae cajulo ya jacone y patgon yan si nanaña ya manmalag y tano 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,

²²Ya jajungog na si Arquelao, güiya y ray guiya Judea gui sagan tataña as Herodes, maañao malag guato; lao pot si Yuus ninatungo güe claro gui güinifeña, mapos malag y tanon Galilea.

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.”

²³Ya anae mato, sumaga gui siuda na mafanaan Nasaret; para ucumple y masanganña pot y profeta sija, na umafanaan taotao Nasaret.
