< Matiyu 2 >

1 kubẹ na iwa maru Yisa ku in Baitalami un Yahudiya nayiri tigoh in Hiridus, amon anitt anan yiru yenju niyini kusari kitene nin Urushalima da ida woro,
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,
2 Adin weri ulenge na ina marughe ugoh na Yahudawe? Tina yene fiyini mere kusari kitene unnare ti da tida zazinghe.”
“Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
3 Na ugoh Hiridus in lanza nani, ayi me nin na nitin Urushalima fita vat.
When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Hiridus pitirino a didya na Priest nin na nan ninyerte nanit vat kiti kirum, anin tirino nani, “Nweri ima Kristi ku?”
Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 I woro ghe nenge, “In Baitalamin Yahudiya, bara imon ile na nyan lirun nuu Kutullẹ na nyertin nari ine,
They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
6 'A fe, ubaitalami, in myin Yahudiya, na fere ubene nan nya na nan bun Yahudiya, nani nan nya fere unan tigo ba nuzukuulenge na ama su libya nanit nig Israila.'”
‘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.’”
7 Hiridus tunna ayicila anan yiru vat likire a tirino nani in dert kubi kongo na fiyine na nuzu.
Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 A to nani udu ubaitalahmi, a woro, “Can idi piziru ubeleng gono seng. Asa i se ghe, dan ida belli, bara meng wang nan do in di zazinghe.”
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.”
9 Na i lanza ugowe ku, i kiffo libau i nya, fiyine na ini yene kusari kitene tunna ncin nbun mine fidi duru fiyisina kiti kirum dert kiti kanga na gọnọ diku.
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.
10 Na iyene fiyinie, isu ayi abo nin liburi libo kang.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 Itunna ipira nan nya kilare iyene gone nin nene Maryamue. Itumuno izazin ghe. Itunna i puzuno tika mine i nakpaghe imon ile na i ming mun, izinariya, lubban a kwul.
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.
12 Na ise uwannu nataf kiti Kutellẹ nan nya namorona iwa kpilin kitin Hiridus ba, ifita i yira nlong libau ugang ukpillu kipin mine.
Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 Na inung nna nya, Gono kadura Kutellẹ tun na a da kitin Yusufu nan nya namoro, a woroghe, “Fita uyiru gono, kinesse nin nene urum udu uMasar, udi so kikane se kubi kongo na mbellin fi uliru bara na Hiridus ma pizuru gone a molu kining.”
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.”
14 A tunna nin kitik ka ne afita a yauna ggono kinesse nin nene inya mun ucindu umasar.
He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
15 Awa di so kikane udi duru kubin nkul in Hiridus, ulire nan kulo na cikilare wa bellin kitin nnan liru nin nuu Kutellẹ, “Unuzun nan nyan Masar nna yicila usaun ning ku.”
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.”
16 Na Hiridus iyene anitt ayinjing ane nrusuzo ghe, ayi nana ghe kang, ato idi molusu nnono ni lirine vat na niwadi in Baitalahmi, udu ligan nminne vat, ucizunu na kus aba utolu kadas nalenge na idurun ba, nafo kubatino kube na awa lanza Ubeleng nan nyan tinu na nit ajinjin ghe.
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.
17 Ulirue u ni wa kulo vilengwe na iwa bellin kitin Irimiya unan liru nin nuuKutellẹ.
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 “I wa lanza liwani nan nyan rama, kuculu nin tiyom a liburi lisirne, Rahilla di kuculu nnono me.”
“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she would not be comforted, because they are no more.”
19 Na Hiridus nku gono kadura Kutellẹ da kitin Yusufu nan nya namoro in masar.
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 “Aworo, Fita, yauna gono kinesse nin nene, udo nan nyan nmin Israila.”
“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.”
21 Yusufue fita, a yauna gone nin nene, ada nan nya nmin Israila.
He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Na alanza Arkila usari di tigon yahudiya kudarun ncife, Hiridus, fiu kiffo ghe na ado ba, vat nin woru Kutellẹ nwununghe kutuf nan nya namoro, ana lassina udu nmin ngalili.
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,
23 Amini ana wa dak ada da so nkan kipin na idin yiccu kinin unazarati, inan kulo uliru na iwa bellin tinu na nan nliru nnu Kutellẹ ima yiccu ghe kunan Nazarat.
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.
