Matthew 2 (TDX)

1Ie toly e Betleheme e Iehodà ao t’i Iesoà, tañ’andro’ i Heroda mpanjaka, le inge totsak’ e Ierosaleme ty mpañandro maro boak’ atiñanañe añe,After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,

2nanao ty hoe: Aia i Mpanjaka’ o Jiosio vaho samakey? Fa tinalake’ay atiñanañe eñe ty vasia’e, vaho pok’eo zahay an-dravoravom-piasiañe hitalaho ama’e.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.”

3Ie jinanji’ i Heroda mpanjaka le nitsiborehetoke reketse ze hene mpimone’ Ierosaleme.When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.

4Aa le hene natonto’e o androanavi’eo, vaho nañontanea’e he fohi’ iareo ty hisamahañe i Norizañey.And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.

5Hoe ty natoi’ iareo: E Betleheme Iehodà ao, ty amy pinatetse amy mpitokiy ty hoe:“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

6Ihe Betleheme Iehodà, Efratà, tane’ Iehodà, Inao toe pininite’e amo fifokoa’ Iehodao irehe; fe hirik’ ama’o te hionjom-bamako ty ho Mpifehe e Israele ao.‘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.’”

7Le kinanji’ i Heroda i mpañandro rey naho natola’e vaho nitsikarahe’e am’iereo i andro niboaha’ i vasiañey.Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had appeared.

8Nahitri’e mb’e Betleheme mb’eo iereo ami’ty hoe: Akia, hotsohotsò i Ajaja-lahiy, ie rendre’ areo, ampahafohino ahy, fa homb’ama’e mb’eo ka iraho hitalaho.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.”

9Ie nahajanjiñe i mpanjakay le nienga; naho indroy i vasiañe niisa’ iereo atiñanañe añey niaolo iareo ampara’ te nipok’ amy toetsey, nijohañe ambone’ ty toe’ i ajajay ey.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.

10Nifale iereo toe nirañorano an-kobay te nahaisake i vasiañey.When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.

11Aa ie nizilike an-traño ao le nitendreke aze naho i Marie rene’e; naho nitongaleke aolo’e eo, niambane ama’e, nanokake o horo’ iareoo naho nibanabana ravoravo ama’e: volamena naho mañi-dè vaho rame.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.

12Hinatahata’ ty anjely ami’ty nofy iereo, nanoro t’ie tsy hibalike mb’amy Heroda mb’eo, aa le nimpoly mb’an-tane’ iareo añe nañorike lalan-kafa.And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.

13Ie añe, intoy, nisodeha amy Josefe ty Anjeli’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Mitroara, rambeso i Ajajalahiy naho i rene’e, mibioña mb’e Mitsraime añe vaho itaveaño ampara’ te tohineko, amy te paiae’ i Heroda havetrake i Ajajalahiy.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.”

14Aa le nendese’e i Ajajay naho i rene’e,So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,

15vaho nitambatse añe ampara’ te niantantiritse t’i Heroda, hañenefañe ty nampisaontsieñe i mpitokiy ty hoe: Boake Mitsraime añe ty nitokavako ty Anako.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.”

16Ie nifohi’ i Heroda ty nanoa’ i mpañandro rey, le tsy hay aia ty habose’e, toe niojeoje an-troke, vaho linili’e te hahitrike amo roandria’e iabio ty hanjamañe ze hene anak’ ajajalahy e Betleheme naho amparipari’e ao ze nisamake ambane ty tao nisaontsie’ i mpañandro reiy te nisamaheñe i ajalahiy.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.

17Niheneke amy zay ty nisaontsie’ i Jeremia mpitoky:Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:

18Jinanjiñe e Rama ao ty fiarañanañañe; fandalañe naho fangololoihañe mafaitse: Mirovetse o ana’eo t’i Rahelie, ntt“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.”

19Ie nihomake t’i Heroda, le nitoje amy Josefe e Mitsraime ao ama’ nofy ty anjeli’ IehovàAfter Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.

20nanao ty hoe: Mitroara, rambeso i Ajajalahiy naho i rene’e, le akia mb’an-tane’ Israele añe; fa mate o nipay hañoho-doza amy Ajajaio.“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.”

21Aa le niongake re, ninday i Ajajay naho i rene’e, nimpoly mb’ an-tane Israele mb’eo.So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and went to the land of Israel.

22Jinanji’e te nandimbe i Heroda rae’e nifeleke e Iehodà ao t’i Horkanose, le nimarimarike tsy te homb’eo. Aa le nirisihe’ i Anjeliy ami’ty nofy re ty hitsile mb’ an-tane Gilgale añe.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,

23Ie nandoake ao le nimoneñe an-drova atao Nazareta, hañeneke i nisaontsie’ o mpitokio te: Hatao nte-Naz’rete re.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.”
