Matthew 2 (GHN)

1Ego totonai za podo i Jisu pa Betilihema pa Jiudia, aza na totozo za bangara i Herodi, ari kaki tinoni gigigalai qari taloi koko vei pa kale zagere tapo ko qari bola pa Jerusalema,After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,

2ko qari nanaza, ari qari gua vei, <<Ae za na koburu za podo bangara tadiria na Jiu? Gami nanaza ura gami batia pa kale zagere tapo gami za na seru tana, ko gami kamu ko mami vatarazaea aza gami gua,>> qari gua ria.asking, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”

3Ego totonai za nongoria i Herodi na bangara za na veveina aza, za takulanga aza beto ria dorudi pa Jerusalema.When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.

4Ko za kuku varikamudi i Herodi ria na kuta iama beto ria na tinoni varivagigalai tadiria na tinoni, ko za nanazaria, <<Pae mina podo za na Karisito?>> za gudi.And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.

5Nari za ari qari guni vei, <<Pa Betilihema pa Jiudia, ura ani za korotoni na tinoni korokorotai,“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

6<Ao Betilihema pa ia pa Jiudia. Ao nake goboromu tadiria na guguzu matamata pa Jiudia, ura tamu mina votu lame vei za maka matamata aza mina pauzuria ria na qua tinoni Izireli,> za gua,>> qari guni.‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of My people Israel.’”

7Nari za kuku kaledi i Herodi ria na tinoni gigigalai, ko za nyaqo votuni tadiria za na totozo za bola votu na seru.Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had appeared.

8Beto za garunu goredi pa Betilihema, ari za gudi vei, <<Mu gore nyaqo votu valeania gamu za na veveina na koburu. Ko aza tugu muna batia, za muna ule vaniziu, ko ara ba mana somana gore vatarazaea tugu vei,>> za gudi.And sending them to Bethlehem, he said: “Go and search carefully for the Child, and when you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship Him.”

9Pa liguna qari nongoria na bangara nari za qari taloi keni ria na tinoni gigigalai ari. Ko ani aza na seru, aza qari batini pa kale zagere tapo perangaina, za tokaria, ko tinganai za lao vanogoto pa narena totona ketakoi za kole na koburu.After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stood over the place where the Child was.

10Ko totonai qari batia na seru za qari qera vitivitigi.When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.

11Ko qari luge lao pa ruma nari za qari batia za na koburu beto i Mere na tinana. Ko qari gona nyumu sori tungutungu ko qari vatarazaea za na koburu, beto za qari raua ria na dia baeke varivana ko qari vani na qolo, na parakenisenisi beto na moa za na koburu.On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.

12Beto za votudi pana putagita za na ule vabalau ko marike mule zae ti Herodi za gua, ko qari tutia na goto zona tu ko qari mule kenidia pa dia guguzu ria na tinoni gigigalai.And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.

13Ego pa liguna qari taloi kenidia ria na tinoni gigigalai ari, nari ani za votu ti Josepa pa putagita za na mateana tana Bangara, ko ari za guni vei, <<Mu turu, mu tokai za na koburu beto na tinana ko mu uku keni pa Ijipi, ko mu suvere ketakoi tinganai mana parangaigo mule ara. Ura i Herodi za mi nyaqoa za na koburu zana ko mi vaukea za gua,>> za guni.When the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”

14Nari za turu i Josepa, za tokai za na koburu beto na tinana na bongina tugu aza, ko za taloi keninana pa Ijipi.So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,

15Ko za suvere ketakoi aza ko tinganai za uke tu i Herodi. Ko za gore votu za na paranga za pojai na Bangara tana tinoni korokorotai, ari za gua vei, <<Pa Ijipi qa kuku votuni ara za na tuqu marene,>> za gua.where he stayed until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”

16Ego totonai za gilagilai i Herodi za ria na tinoni gigigalai za qari vagonai gu aza, za za tagigiri vikevikereni. Ko za varigarunu ko mari vai vauke paledi ria doru koburu marene pa Betilihema beto pa guguguzu varilivutaina, ria koburu kori aorodi ko mi gore tadiria na melalu za gua. Na ngutina na aorodi ria na koburu za padani aza podalai tugu na totozo za nyaqo votuni aza tadiria na tinoni gigigalai.When Herod saw that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was filled with rage. Sending orders, he put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, according to the time he had learned from the Magi.

17Ko za gore votu za na paranga za lame vei ti Jeremae na tinoni korokorotai, ari za gua vei,Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:

18<<Maka mamalaingi za tanongoro pa Rama, na lukana uui beto na kebokebo. I Resolo za lukanaria na tuna, ko za dainana tavamanoto ura qari manyao ria,>> za gua.“A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”

19Ego ko pa liguna za uke i Herodi, za ani na mateana tana Bangara za votu pa putagita ti Josepa pa Ijipi,After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.

20ari za gua vei, <<Mu turu, mu tokai za na koburu beto na tinana ko mu mule pa pezo pa Izireli, ura qari tori uke tu ria qari nyaqoa na toa tana koburu,>> za gua aza.“Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, for those seeking the Child’s life are now dead.”

21Nari za turu i Josepa, za tokai za na koburu beto na tinana ko za mule pa pezo Izireli.So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and went to the land of Israel.

22Ba tonai za nongoroni i Josepa za i Akiliasi za sogai i Herodi na tamana ko za bangara pa Jiudia qari gua, za matagutu mule suvere ketakoi aza. Ko tonai za votu pa putagita za na ule vabalau nari za taloi keni vei pa pikata guguguzu pa Qalili tu.But when he learned that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee,

23Ko za zae suvere pa guguzu na izongona pa Nazareti. Ko za gore votu za na paranga za gore vei tadiria na tinoni korokorotai, ari qari gua vei, <<Mina tagigala na tinoni Nazareti aza,>> qari gua.and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
