Matthew 2

Jezi te fèt lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jide, sou tan wa Ewòd. Apre li te fèt, kèk nèg save ki konn etidye zetwal yo soti nan peyi solèy leve, yo rive lavil Jerizalèm.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Yo t'ap mande: Kote wa jwif ki fenk fèt la? Nou wè zetwal li parèt depi nan peyi nou an, nou vin adore li.

Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Lè wa Ewòd pran nouvèl la, sa te boulvèse tèt li. Sa te boulvèse tout moun lavil Jerizalèm yo tou.

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Ewòd reyini tout chèf prèt yo ansanm ak direktè lalwa yo ki t'ap dirije pèp jwif la. Li mande yo: Ki kote Kris la gen pou l' fèt?

And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

Yo reponn li: Se lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jide li gen pou l' fèt. Paske, men sa pwofèt la te ekri:

And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

Ou menm, Betleyèm, ki bati sou tè Jida a, pawòl sèten: se pa ou ki pi piti nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo. Paske, gen yon chèf ki gen pou soti lakay ou. Se li menm ki va kondi moun Izrayèl yo, pèp mwen an.

And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

Se konsa, Ewòd fè nèg save yo vin jwenn li an kachèt. Li mande yo kilè egzakteman zetwal la te parèt.

Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

Apre sa, li voye yo ale Betleyèm. Li di yo: Ale non! Chache konnen tout bagay sou ti pitit la. Lè n'a jwenn li, fè m' konnen pou m' sa kapab al adore l', mwen menm tou.

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

Apre wa a te fin di yo sa, nèg save yo pati. Lè sa a, zetwal yo te wè nan peyi solèy leve a parèt devan yo ankò. Li t'ap mache devan yo. Zetwal la kontinye konsa jouk li rive sou tèt kay kote ti pitit la te ye a. Epi l' rete.

When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

Lè yo te wè zetwal la, yo pa t' manke kontan.

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Yo antre nan kay la, yo wè ti pitit la ansanm ak Mari, manman li. Yo mete ajenou devan l', yo adore l'. Apre sa, yo louvri sak yo, yo ba li anpil kado: te gen lò, lansan ak lami.

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Apre sa, Bondye pale ak nèg save yo nan dòmi, li avèti yo pou yo pa tounen bò kote Ewòd ankò. Se konsa mesye yo fè yon lòt wout pou yo tounen al nan peyi yo.

And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

Lè nèg save yo fin ale, yon zanj Bondye parèt devan Jozèf nan dòmi. Zanj lan di l' konsa: Leve non, pran ti pitit la ansanm ak manman l'. Sove ale nan peyi Lejip. Wa rete la jouk lè m'a di ou pou ou tounen. Paske, Ewòd pral chache touye ti pitit la.

And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

Jozèf leve nan mitan lannwit lan, li pran ti pitit la ansanm ak manman l'. Li pati, li ale nan peyi Lejip.

When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

Jozèf rete la jouk lè Ewòd mouri. Se konsa, pawòl Bondye te mete nan bouch pwofèt la te rive vre. Li te di: Mwen rele pitit mwen, mwen fè l' soti kite peyi Lejip.

And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

Lè Ewòd wè nèg save yo te pase l' nan jwèt, li fè yon gwo kòlè. Li bay lòd touye tout ti pitit gason ki te nan lavil Betleyèm ak nan tout vwazinaj la, depi sa ki te fèk fèt jouk sa ki te gen dezan, dapre dat nèg save yo te ba li a.

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.

Se konsa, pawòl pwofèt Jeremi te di a rive vre:

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,

Yo tande yon rèl nan lavil Rama. Yo tande kriye ak gwo anmwe. Se Rachèl k'ap kriye pou pitit li yo. Li pa vle pesonn ba li kouraj, paske pitit li yo mouri.

In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

Apre Ewòd mouri, yon zanj Bondye parèt devan Jozèf nan dòmi, antan l' nan peyi Lejip la.

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

Zanj lan di l': Leve non, pran ti pitit la ansanm ak manman l', tounen nan peyi Izrayèl la. Paske, moun ki te vle touye ti pitit la, yo mouri.

Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

Lamenm Jozèf leve, li pran ti pitit la ansanm ak manman l', li tounen nan peyi Izrayèl la.

And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

Men, lè Jozèf vin konnen se Akelayis ki t'ap gouvènen peyi Jide a nan plas Ewòd, papa l', Jozèf te pè ale la. Bondye pale avè l' ankò nan dòmi. Lè sa a, li pati, li ale nan peyi Galile.

But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

Li vin rete nan yon vil yo rele Nazarèt. Se konsa, pawòl pwofèt yo te di a rive vre: y'a rele l' moun Nazarèt.

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
