Mātiu 2
1Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,
1PEA kuo ʻaloʻi ʻa Sisu ʻi Petelihema ʻi Siutea, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Helota ko e tuʻi, vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tangata poto mei he potu hahake ki Selūsalema,
2saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
2ʻO pehē, “ʻOku ʻi fē ia ʻaia kuo ʻaloʻi ko e Tuʻi ʻoe kakai Siu? He kuo mau mamata ʻi he potu hahake ki hono fetuʻu, pea kuo mau haʻu ke hū kiate ia.”
3When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
3Pea kuo fanongo ai ʻa Helota ko e tuʻi, naʻe puputuʻu ia, mo Selūsalema kotoa pē mo ia.
4and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
4Pea kuo fakakātoa ʻe ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē mo e kau tangata tohi ʻoe kakai, naʻe fakapapau ia meiate kinautolu pe ʻaloʻi ʻi fē ʻae Kalaisi.
5They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:
5Pea nau pehēange kiate ia, “ʻI Petelihema ʻi Siutea: he ʻoku pehē hono tohi he palōfita.
6“‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
6‘Ko Koe Petelihema, ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ko e siʻi hifo Koe ʻi he ngaahi ʻEiki ʻo Siuta: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu meiate Koe ha Pule, ʻaia te ne puleʻi hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli.”
7Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared.
7Pea toki fekau fakafufū ʻe Helota ke haʻu ʻae kau tangata poto, pea fehuʻi fakapapau kiate kinautolu pe naʻe hā mai ʻanefē ʻae fetuʻu.
8And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.”
8Pea ne fekau ʻakinautolu ki Petelihema, ʻo ne pehē, “Mou ʻalu ʻo kumi lahi ki he tamasiʻi, pea ka mou ka ʻilo ia, mou fakahā mai kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu atu ʻo hū foki kiate ia.”
9After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was.
9Pea kuo nau fanongo ki he tuʻi, pea nau ʻalu; pea vakai, ko e fetuʻu naʻa nau mamata ai ʻi he potu hahake, naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo aʻu ki he potu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tamasiʻi pea tuʻu mei ai ʻi ʻolunga.
10When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.
10Pea ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he fetuʻu, naʻa nau fiefia ʻi he fiefia lahi ʻaupito.
11And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
11Pea ʻi heʻenau hū ki he fale, naʻa nau mamata ki he tamasiʻi naʻe ʻi heʻene faʻē ko Mele, mo nau fakatōmapeʻe ʻo hū kiate ia; pea kuo nau vete ʻenau koloa, naʻa nau ʻoatu kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa; ko e koula, mo e laipeno, mo e mula.
12And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.
12Pea ʻi he valokia ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he misi, ke ʻoua te nau toe ʻalu kia Helota, naʻa nau ʻalu ki honau fonua ʻi ha hala kehe.
13Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.”
13Pea kuo ʻalu ʻakinautolu, ʻiloange, kuo hā mai ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki kia Siosefa ʻi he misi, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻave ʻae tamasiʻi mo ʻene faʻē, pea ke holatakiʻi ki ʻIsipite, pea ke nofo ai ke ʻoua ke u fakahā kiate koe: koeʻuhi ʻe kumi ʻe Helota ʻae tamasiʻi ke tāmateʻi ia.”
14And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt
14Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻae tamasiʻi mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he pō, ʻo ʻalu ki ʻIsipite:
15and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
15Pea naʻe ʻi ai ia ʻo aʻu ki he mate ʻa Helota: ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe he ʻEiki ʻi he palōfita, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u ui mai hoku foha mei ʻIsipite.”
16Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men.
16Pea kuo toki ʻilo ʻe Helota kuo kākaaʻi ia ʻe he kau tangata poto, pea ʻita lahi ʻaupito, mo ne fekau atu ki Petelihema mo e ngaahi potu ofi ki ai, ke tāmateʻi ʻae tamaiki tangata kotoa pē, ngata ʻi he ua taʻu ʻo ʻenau lahi ʻo fai ki mui; ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻaho naʻa ne fehuʻi fakapapau ai ki he kau tangata poto.
17Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:
17Pea naʻe toki fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita ko Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
18“A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be comforted, because they are no more.”
18“Naʻe ongoʻi ʻi Lama ʻae leʻo, ko e lāunga, mo e tangi, mo e tangilāulau, ko e tēngihia ʻe Lesieli ʻene fānau, pea ʻikai te ne tali ʻae fiemālie, koeʻuhi kuo ʻikai ʻakinautolu.”
19But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
19Ka kuo mate ʻa Helota, pea vakai, naʻe hā mai ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki kia Siosefa ʻi he misi ʻi ʻIsipite,
20saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child’s life are dead.”
20ʻO ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake, pea ʻave ʻae tamasiʻi mo ʻene faʻē, pea ʻalu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; he kuo mate ʻakinautolu naʻe kumi ki he moʻui ʻae tamasiʻi.”
21And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.
21Pea tuʻu hake ia ʻo ʻave ʻae tamasiʻi mo ʻene faʻē, pea haʻu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.
22But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee.
22Ka ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻoku pule ʻa ʻAkileosi ʻi Siutea ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko Helota, naʻe manavahē ia ke ʻalu ki ai: pea ʻi he valoki ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he misi, naʻa ne afe ki he ngaahi potu ʻo Kaleli:
23And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled: “He shall be called a Nazarene.”
23Pea haʻu ia ʻo nofo ʻi he kolo ko Nāsaleti: koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he kau palōfita, “ʻE ui ia ko e Nāsaline.”
