Matthew 2 (JUM)

1Aŋ wääna Yeecüwa giidene daa me Beetlaam baan Yühüdïya ye, a nïïnkä Yätkä Ïïrüüdüc ti. Aŋ ook yakkalaŋ a ŋäjjoni ätä ñomuk äätin Oorcalïïm,After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,

2aŋ tääccin ogo, “Wali m'ana a giiton a yätkä yen Yühüüṇṇï ye? Kiṭṭä yeene yoorron wääna kääjenee kä ñaalok ye aŋ ikoon äätodon ike maaŋon.”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.”

3Aŋ wääna yätkä Ïïrüüdüc tiiŋŋee kä aŋan ye, i ike ṭeeŋŋä, ke mä Oorcalïïm muure.When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.

4Aŋ ike ḍuuŋku däŋkä ke nüütoni jiik ḍoocin yek Jooŋ bärkene ti muure aŋ tääckene ti ogo, “Macii bi giitä me a wa?”And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.

5Aŋ luugi me ogo, “A Beetlaam baan Yühüdïya jï, a pergon kä bäṭo ogo,“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

6“‘Aŋ ïkï, Beetlaam, ŋommañ yen mä Yühüdïya ti, ïkï batta ḍeeḍäḍeeṭ bänkä mäyken yek mä Yühüdïya ti, aŋ ïkï ti mäŋkalaŋ bi ätä a mügdo yaana bi kääjï mä yeeki yek mä Icärayiil ye.’”‘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.’”

7Aŋ Ïïrüüdüc ŋäjjoni bärkene ti kä ätkïtïn ukcenee gïtï a tooku ken üükene woo kiṭṭä.Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had appeared.

8Aŋ tucce Beetlaam aŋ kiinne ogo, “Ate aŋ minneni maawe ṭeṭaŋ. Aŋ naana kaññe ye, i ika icka jiik, aŋ cäänna ika bi atä maaŋä.”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.”

9Aŋ wääna tiiŋŋene jiik yätkä ye, i iken ättä kä päy yeenen. Aŋ, kiṭṭä yaana yoori ina üükïn woo aŋ iken wooyi ke yuutee ïñï nänṭä minneni.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.

10Aŋ wääna kiṭṭä yooṭene daa ye, iken juuggen ñappä kä jon ñammä mooye!When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.

11Aŋ iken kaaccä äräk aŋ minneni yoori ke meen Märïyam, aŋ ḍüŋgï ïñï aŋ maaŋi. Aŋ iken kücümgü yeeken kupki aŋ ääcin woo iccin a tiilgä ke ḍukpïlkä ke panḍeyni.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.

12Aŋ iken koli Jooŋ kä lääggï ogo ŋana ḍukcodo Ïïrüüdüc ti, aŋ iken ḍukcin baannen kä päy yaŋkalaŋ.And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.

13Aŋ wääna ŋäjjoni ḍakkene kä ye, i malak yen Pïṭo üükïn woo Yuucip ti kä lääggï aŋ kiinne ogo, “Juwu, minneni koowu ke meen, aŋ yïïŋä Macïr, aŋ cääye wïca ke nüütke kä, winni Ïïrüüdüc minneni maawe, ṭäkke näge ḍok.”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.”

14Aŋ ike juwin minneni koowne ke meen kä mïïllä aŋ yïïŋŋe Macïr.So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,

15Aŋ cäygin wïca ke Ïïrüüdüc tüwe. Yaakki ḍääkit yaaka jaayi Pïṭo kä bäṭo ye ogo, “Ika bääṭänä woo minneni yeeni Macïr jï.”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.”

16Aŋ Ïïrüüdüc, wääna yoorreeda ike malene daa ŋïngïn ŋäjjoni ye, ike pennä kä yaac aŋ ike tuccin kääygä aŋ merkälen oogen näŋgi ḍugin muure, yaaka Beetlaam ye ke bänkä yaaka cokulaŋ ti ye, yaaka yuungen kä yewweni ke ïñï ye, kä waan yaana ookke gïtï ŋäjjoni ti kä üükïn woo kiṭṭä ye.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.

17Aŋ ken ḍääkit yaaka jaayi bäṭo Ïrmïya ye ogo,Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:

18“Yääw tiiŋin Raama ïwok ke nüüjdüŋ mooye. Aŋ Rahiil week ogo merkä yeeke, ike yaakkä kä lüüynü jok ogo iken baawkono.”“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.”

19Aŋ wääna Ïïrüüdüc tüwnee ye, i malak yen Pïṭo üükïn woo Yuucip ti kä lääggï Macïr.After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.

20Aŋ kiinne ogo, “Juwu, minneni koowu ke meen aŋ ate ŋommañ yen mä Icärayiil, m'aka ṭäkï nääkä minneni ye tüwgïn.”“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.”

21Aŋ ike juwin aŋ minneni koowne ke meen aŋ attä ŋommañ yen mä Icärayiil ti.So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and went to the land of Israel.

22Aŋ wääna Yuucip tiiŋŋe ogo Aarkalayüüc mükko yätkïtïn Yühüdïya nänṭä wäyen Ïïrüüdüc ye, i ike booññu kä ḍukcin wïca, aŋ koli lääggï, aŋ ike attä baan mä Jalïïl.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,

23Aŋ ike attä aŋ cääynä baan yaana battä me ogo Naacira ye. Aŋ a yaaka jaayi bäṭoni ye ken ḍääkit ḍuuggen ogo, “Ike bi battä me ogo män Naacira.”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.”
