Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
Jesu den mali Betelema, Jude dogu nni, ya yogu ke Herodi den tie badciamo; lanyogu ke ya badtieba n bani i ŋmaali cogma ñani puoli, ki cua Jerusalema,
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
yedi: Jufinba badciamo, ban mali yua mɔlane ye le? Kelima, ti la ke o ŋmaabiga pudi puoli, ke ti cua ki ba pugi o.
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
O badciamo Herodi ń gbadi lanya maama, o yama ń ŋmadi lan mugi Jerusalema yaaba kuli.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
O badciamo ń taani salga yidkaacianba yeni u dogu nn gbanbanda, ki buali ki bandi ban ba mali Kiristu naana.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Ban maadi o: li tie Betelema, Jude dogu nni; kelima o sawalpualo ń diani yaali n ne:
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
Fini, Betelema, Juda tinga, fini ka ñidi ki cie, Juda dogciami siiga, kelima bado ba ña a niini, ki ya kpaa n buolu Isirayeli.
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Lanyapo, Herodi ń wuoni, ki yini a ŋmaabila banda yeni, ki buali ki bandi ya yogu ke ki ŋmaabiga yeni den pudi ki ñigdi.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
Ki waani ba ke ban gedi Betelema, ki maadi ba: “Gedi mani ki ban ga ki bigi yeni laabaali bonŋanla, I ya la o, yin guani ki maadi nni, mini mo ń gedi ki pugi o.
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
Ban cengi o badciamo ki gbeni, ban ña ki paani u sani. Ban den la ya ŋmaabiga puoli yeni ń go legdi bi liiga, ki ya cuoni, ki ban pundi ki biga ń ye naani, ki sedi.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Ban la ki ŋmaabiga, bi pala ń mangi boncianla.
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Ban kua li dieli nni, ki la ki biga yeni o naá Maari, ki gbaani ki pugi o, ki fiidi bi ligbɔga, ki ñani wula, li ŋubli yeni ya tolade n yi miiri ki teni o bi paabu.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Bi den la ti dangdi nni, ke li ki buali ke ban guani ki tɔgni Herodi po, ke bi kogni santianu, ki lebdi ki kuni.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
Puoli banda yeni ń kuni, ke maleki legdi ti dangdi nni, ki maadi Jesefi: “Fii, ki taa ki biga yeni o naá, ki sani ki gedi Ejipti, ki ya ye lanpo hali min ba waani a ya yogu; kelima Herodi ba kpaani ya sani ke o ba biani ki biga ne miali.
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Josefi ń fii ku ñiagu ki taa ki biga yeni o naá, ki sani ki gedi Ejipti
15 and 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 I called my son.”
Bi den ye Ejipti hali ke Herodi ti kpe. Li tieni yeni ke O Diedo ń bo cedi ke sawalualo waani yaali yeni ń tieni ki dudi: “N yini n bijua, ki ñani o Ejipti tinga nni.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.
Herodi ń diidi ki sua ke puoli ŋmaabanda yeni bɔndi o, ke o pali beni boncianla, ke sɔni ke ban kpa Betelema dogu nni yeni li tinkundogi kuli, ya bonjabila pia bina lie yeni yaaba n nagi bina lie nani wan den buali ki bi waani o ya yogu yeni, ke o jia ki dagni ki biga yeni ń baa pia ya bina.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Mɔla, o sawalpualo Jeremi ń den waani yaali tieni ki dudi:
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
Bi gbadi i yigni Roma dogu nni, li bubuuli i kuumoe yeni i fanfabinciami, Raciheli ń buudi o bila kuumoe, kaa bua ban baagi o, ki sɔngi opali, kelima, bi ji ki ye.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Herodi ń kpe, ke maleki legdi ti dangdi nni Ejipti, ki maadi Josefi:
20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
ki yedi: “Fii, ki taa ki biga yeni o naá ki gedi Israyeli dogu nni, kelima yaaba n den kpaani ke ban gbindi ki biga miali nan kpe o.
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Josefi ń fii, ki taa ki biga yeni o naá, ki gedi Israyeli.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
O den gbadi ke Arkelawus n ga o báa Herodi, ki kaa Jude badkpagli po, ke o jie yen wan gedi li dogu nni. O den la ti dangdi nni ke li buali ke wan gedi Galile,
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.
ke o gedi ki kua ya dogu ke bi yi Nasareti, ke bi sawalpuaba n den waani yaali ń tieni ki dudi: “Bi baa yi o Nasaeti yua.”
