Matthew 2

Ary rehefa teraka Jesosy tao Betlehema an'i Jodia, tamin'ny andron'i Heroda mpanjaka, indreo, nisy Magy avy tany atsinanana tonga tany Jerosalema ka nanao hoe:

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,

Aiza Ilay teraka ho Mpanjakan'ny Jiosy? fa nahita ny kintany teny atsinanana izahay ka tonga mba hiankohoka eo anatrehany.

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.

Ary nony nandre izany Heroda mpanjaka, dia nangorohoro izy mbamin'i Jerosalema rehetra.

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

Dia namory ny lohan'ny mpisorona rehetra sy ny mpanora-dalàna tamin'ny vahoaka izy ka nanontany ary hoe: Aiza mba no hahaterahan'i Kristy?

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

Ary hoy ireo taminy: Ao Betlehema an'i Jodia; fa izao no voasoratry ny mpaminany:

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

Ary ianao, ry Betlehema, tanin'ny Joda, tsy dia kely indrindra ao amin'ny andrianan'ny Joda ianao tsy akory; Fa avy ao aminao no hivoahan'izay anankiray ho Mpanapaka, Ka Izy no ho Mpiandry ny Isiraely oloko (Mik. 5.1).

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.

Dia nampaka ny Magy mangingina Heroda ka namototra fatratra taminy izay andro nisehoan'ilay kintana.

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

Dia naniraka azy hankany Betlehema izy ka nanao hoe: Andeha, fotory tsara ny amin'ilay Zazakely; koa rehefa hitanareo Izy, dia ambarao amiko, mba hankanesako any koa hiankohoka eo anatrehany.

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.

Ary rehefa nandre ny tenin'ny mpanjaka izy ireo, dia lasa; ary, indro, ilay kintana hitany teny atsinanana nialoha azy mandra-pijanony teo ambonin'izay nitoeran'ny Zazakely.

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.

Ary nony nahita ny kintana izy, dia nifaly indrindra.

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

Ary rehefa tafiditra tao an-trano izy, dia nahita ny Zazakely sy Maria reniny ka niankohoka teo anatrehany; ary nony efa nosokafany ny fitehirizan-drakiny, dia nanolotra zavatra ho Azy izy, dia volamena sy zava-manitra ary miora.

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.

Ary rehefa notoroan'Andriamanitra hevitra tamin'ny nofy izy tsy hiverina any amin'i Heroda, dia lalana hafa no nalehany nody ho any amin'ny fonenany.

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

Ary nony efa lasa nandeha ireo, indro, nisy anjelin'ny Tompo niseho tamin'i Josefa tamin'ny nofy ka nanan hoe: Mifohaza ianao, ka ento ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, dia mandosira any Egypta, ary mitoera any ambara-pilazako aminao; fa Heroda efa hitady ny Zazakely hovonoiny.

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.

Dia nifoha izy ka nitondra ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, raha mbola alina, dia lasa nankany Egypta;

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

ary nitoetra tany izy ambara-pahafatin'i Heroda, mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazain'i Jehovah ny mpaminany hoe: Nantsoiko hiala tany Egypta ny zanako (Hos. 11. 1).

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.

Ary nony efa fantatr'i Heroda fa voafitaky ny Magy izy, dia tezitra indrindra izy ka naniraka namono ny zazalahy rehetra hatramin'ny roa taona no ho midina, izay tao Betlehema sy tamin'ny manodidina rehetra, araka ny andro izay nofotorany fatratra tamin'ny Magy.

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.

Dia tanteraka izay nampilazaina an'i Jeremia mpaminany hoe:

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

Nisy feo re tao Rama, dia fidradradradrana sy fitomaniana fatratra; Rahely nitomany ny zanany, Ary tsy azo nampiononina izy, satria lany ritra ireny (Jer. 31. 15).

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.

Ary rehefa maty Heroda, indro, nisy anjelin'ny Tompo niseho tamin'i Josefa tany Egypta tamin'ny nofy ka nanao hoe:

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

Mifohaza ianao, ka ento ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, dia mankanesa any amin'ny tanin'ny Isiraely; fa efa maty izay nitady ny ain'ny Zazakely.

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.

Dia nifoha izy ka nitondra ny Zazakely sy ny reniny, dia tonga tany amin'ny tanin'ny Isiraely.

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

Fa rehefa reny fa Arkelaosy no nanjaka tany Jodia nandimby an'i Heroda rainy, dia natahotra hankany izy; ary rehefa notoroan'Andriamanitra hevitra tamin'ny nofy izy, dia lasa nankany amin'ny tany Galilia.

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:

Ary nony tonga tany izy, dia nonina tao amin'ny tanàna atao hoe Nazareta, mba hahatanteraka izay nampilazaina ny mpaminany hoe: Hatao hoe Nazarena Izy.

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.
