Mathayo 2
1 Baada ta Yesu, belekwa mu Bethlehemu ya Uyahudi plyo pa utawala ba mpwalume Herode bandu asomi buka kubwani ya kutalu baisile Yerusalemu kaakoya,
Now, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 “ywabile kwaa'ko ywabelekilwe mpwalume Ayahudi? twabweni itondwa yabile mashariki yitu tuisi kumwabudu.
Saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
3 Palyo mpwalume Herode payowine atiyogopa, ni Yerusalemu yote pamope ni ywembe.
When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Herode nga akusanya boti apendo ba makuhani ni baandishi ba bandu, kaalokiya, “Kristo abelekwa kwako?”
And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.
5 Kaba koya, “ku'Bethlehemu ya Ayahudi, mana nyon nga yaandikilwe ni manabii,
And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 Ni wenga Bethlehemu, mu, nchi ya ya Yuda, nchunu kwaa nnonge ya iongozi ba Yuda. kwa kuwa kuoma kwako wabile mtawala ywalowa kuwachunga bandu bango ba Israeli.”
And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Herode kabakema balo asomi kwa siri ni kabakoya muda gani hasa itondwa ipala bonekana.
Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 Abatumite ku Bethlehemu, kakoya, “muyende mbolembole mukalaluye muda hasa mwana ywa abelekilwe. Palyo mwalowa m'bona, muniletei habari ili mwanja ni nenga niweche isa ni kumwabudu.”
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.
9 Paba myowine mpwalume, bayei ni mwanja wabe, ni tondwa lelo waibweni ngolo ni yatikuwalongoya mpakanpaluyemi kunani ya mwana pabelekwile.
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.
10 Palyo paibweni tondwa, bapulaike muno.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 Bajingii nnyumba ni bamweni mwana ywa belekilwe ni Mariamu mao bake, batikunolekea ni kunnoba. Baundwi misigo yabe ni kumpeya zawadi ya dhahabu, uvumba ni manemane.
And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Nnongo atikubaonya mu'ndoto kana bapite kwa Herode, ila babuye kwa ndela yenge.
And being warned by God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 Baada ya kuoma, malaika ba Ngwana ampiye Yusufu mundoto ni kukoya,'Uluka, umpotwe mwana ni mao bake ni m'butukie Misri. Mutame kwoo mpaka pana mmakiya, mwanja Herode apala mwana amulage.
And when they had 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.
14 Kilo Yusufu atiyumuka ni kupotwa mwana ni mao bake ni kabutukya Misri.
When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15 Atami kwoo mpaka Herode awile. Alee litimii lelo likowe lya longei Ngwana pitya kwa anabii, “kuoma Misri ni kemite mwana wango.”
And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Boka po Herode pabweni asomi batikonga, atikasirika sana. Alangi kwabulaga bana boti alalome bababile Bethlehemu miaka ibele mpaka pae yake kuoma muda ng'ulo wa akikishe na asomi.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Palyo ngalitimii likowe lya alongei mukano wa nabii Yeremia,
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18 “Lilobe lyayowinike Rmah, kilelo sa lobola muno, Raheli kalelya bana bake, ni akani kumpembelya, mana bawile.”
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.
19 Herode pawile, linga malaika wa Ngwana atikumpitya Yusufu mu ndoto kaakoya,
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 “Uluka untole mwana ni mao bake, ni myende mu'nnema ba'Aisraeli kwa maana babau palenge byomi wa mwana bawile.”
Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead who sought the young child's life.
21 Yusufu kayumuka ngampotwa mwana pamope ni mao bake, kaisa kunnema wa Israel.
And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Lakini payowine panga Arikelau abile katawala Yuda badala ta tate bake Herode. endeyogopa yenda kwao. Baada ya Nnongo kukalipwa kwa lota, atibuka yenda kunnema wa Galilaya.
But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23 ni ayei tama kunnema woo waukemelwa Nazareti. Alee lenga lilimi likowe lyalongei kwa ndela ya manabii, panga alowa kemelwa Mnazareti.
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.
