1 ¶ 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,

Na, i te mea kua whanau nei a Ihu ki Peterehema o Huria, i nga ra o Kingi Herora, na, ka haere mai etahi Maki i te rawhiti ki Hiruharama,

2 s aying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? We have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him.

Ka mea, Kei hea tenei kua whanau nei hei kingi mo nga Hurai? i kite hoki matou i tona whetu i te rawhiti, a ka tae mai nei ki te koropiko ki a ia.

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

A, no te rongonga o Kingi Herora, ka ohorere ratou ko Hiruharama katoa.

4 A nd when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he asked them where the Christ should be born.

Na whakaminea katoatia ana e ia nga tohunga nui me nga karaipi o te iwi, a ka ui ki a ratou ki te wahi e whanau ai a te Karaiti.

5 A nd they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, for thus it is written by the prophet,

Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ki Peterehema o Huria: ko ta te poropiti hoki tenei i tuhituhi ai,

6 A nd thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda, for out of thee shall come a Leader that shall shepherd my people Israel.

A ko koe, e Peterehema, whenua o Hura, ehara rawa i te iti rawa i roto i nga kawana o Hura: e puta mai hoki i a koe he kawana, hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.

7 T hen Herod, calling the wise men unto him secretly, understood of them with diligence the time of the appearing of the star;

Na, ka oti nga Maki te karanga puku e Herora, ka uia marietia ratou ki te wa i puta mai ai te whetu.

8 a nd sending them to Bethlehem, he said, Go there 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.

A unga ana ratou e ia ki Peterehema, i mea ia, Haere, rapua marietia te tamaiti; a, ka kitea, ka whakahoki mai i te korero ki ahau, kia haere ai hoki ahau ki te koropiko ki a ia.

9 ¶ When they had heard the king, they departed; and, behold, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it arrived and stood over where the young child was.

Na, ka rongo ratou i ta te kingi, ka haere; na ko te whetu, i kite ai ratou i te rawhiti, e haere ana i mua i a ratou, a tae noa, tu noa ki runga ake i te takotoranga o te tamaiti.

10 S eeing the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

A, i to ratou kitenga i te whetu, ko te tino haringa i hari ai.

11 A nd entering into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother; and falling down, they worshipped him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts: gold and frankincense and myrrh.

A, ka tae ki roto ki te whare, ka kite i te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, ko Meri, na tapapa ana ratou, koropiko ana ki a ia: a, no ka mawhera o ratou taonga, ka hoatu etahi mea ki a ia, he koura, he parakihe, he maira.

12 A nd being warned by divine revelation in dreams that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

A i whakatupatoria ratou e te Atua, he mea moemoea, kia kaua e hoki ki a Herora; na haere ana ki to ratou kainga he ara ke.

13 ¶ And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in dreams, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt and remain there until I bring thee word, for Herod will seek the young child to kill him.

A, ka riro atu ratou, na ka puta moemoea tetahi anahera a te Ariki ki a Hohepa, ka mea, E ara, tangohia te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, e rere ki Ihipa, a hei reira koe kia korero ra ano ahau ki a koe: meake hoki rapu a Herora i te tamaiti kia wh akangaromia.

14 A nd awaking, he took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt

Na, ka ara ake ia, ka mau ki te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea i te po, a haere ana ki Ihipa:

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

A noho ana i reira, mate noa a Herora; na ka rite ta te Ariki i korerotia e te poropiti, i mea ai ia, He mea karanga naku taku tamaiti i Ihipa.

16 ¶ Then Herod, seeing that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth and sent forth and killed all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had understood of the wise men.

A, no te kitenga o Herora ka oti ia te tinihanga e nga Maki, rahi rawa tona riri, ka tono tangata, a patua iho nga tamariki katoa, nga mea e rua nei o ratou tau, me o muri iho, i Peterehema, i nga wahi katoa o reira, he mea whakarite ki te taima i uia marietia e ia ki nga Maki.

17 T hen was fulfilled that which was spoken by the Lord through Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

Katahi ka rite ta Heremaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai,

18 I n Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Rachel was weeping for her children and would not be comforted because they perished.

I rangona he reo ki Rama, he uhunga, he tangi, he aue nui, ko Rahera e tangi ana ki ana tamariki, a kihai i pai kia whakamarietia, no te mea kua kahore ratou.

19 ¶ But when Herod was dead, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in dreams to Joseph in Egypt,

A, no ka mate a Herora, na ka puta moemoea te anahera a te Ariki ki a Hohepa ki Ihipa,

20 s aying, Arise and take the young child and his mother and go into the land of Israel, for they are dead who sought the death of the young child.

Ka mea, Ara ake, tangohia te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, a haere ki te whenua o Iharaira: kua mate hoki te hunga i whai kia patua te tamaiti.

21 A nd he arose and took the young child and his mother and came into the land of Israel.

A, ko tona aranga ake, ka mau ki te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, ka haere ki te whenua o Iharaira.

22 B ut when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there; notwithstanding, being warned by divine revelation in dreams, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,

Otira ka rongo ia ko Arakerauha te kingi o Huria i muri i tona matua, i a Herora, ka wehi ki te haere ki reira: otiia i whakamaharatia ia e te Atua, he mea moemoea, a haere ana ki nga wahi o Kariri;

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

A ka tae, a ka noho ki tetahi pa, ko Nahareta te ingoa; i rite ai ta nga poropiti i mea ai, Me hua ia he tangata no Nahareta.
