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,
Jesus was born in Bethlehem [town] in Judea [province] during the time [MTY] that King Herod [the Great ruled there. Some time] after Jesus was born, some men who studied the stars and who lived in a [country] east [of Judea] came to Jerusalem.
2 Adin weri ulenge na ina marughe ugoh na Yahudawe? Tina yene fiyini mere kusari kitene unnare ti da tida zazinghe.”
They asked [people], “Where is the one who has been born [in order that he might be] the king of [you] Jews? [We believe that your new king] has been born, because we have seen the star [that we believe indicated that] he has been [born]. [We saw it while we were in our country] east [of here]. So we have come to worship him.”
3 Na ugoh Hiridus in lanza nani, ayi me nin na nitin Urushalima fita vat.
When King Herod heard [what those men were asking], he became worried [that someone else might be proclaimed] {[people might proclaim someone else]} [king of the Jews to replace him]. Many [of the people] of Jerusalem [MTY, HYP] [also] became worried [because they were afraid of what King Herod might do].
4 Hiridus pitirino a didya na Priest nin na nan ninyerte nanit vat kiti kirum, anin tirino nani, “Nweri ima Kristi ku?”
Then Herod gathered together all the ruling priests and men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws and he asked them where [the prophets had predicted that] the Messiah was to 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, “[He will be born] in Bethlehem, [here] in Judea [province], because it was written by the prophet [Micah] {the prophet [Micah] wrote} [long ago what God said]:
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 [who live in] Bethlehem [APO], in Judea [province], your town is certainly very important [LIT], because a man from your [town] will become a ruler. He will guide my people [who live in] Israel.’”
7 Hiridus tunna ayicila anan yiru vat likire a tirino nani in dert kubi kongo na fiyine na nuzu.
Then [King] Herod secretly summoned those men who studied the stars. He asked them exactly when the star [first] appeared. [By what they told him, he was able to know the approximate age of the baby].
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.”
Then he [concealed what he really planned to do and] said to them, “Go to Bethlehem and inquire thoroughly [where] the infant is. When you have found him, [come back and] report to me so that I, myself, can go [there and] worship him, too.”
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.
After the men heard what the king [told them], they went [toward Bethlehem]. To their surprise, the star that they had seen while they were in the eastern [country] went ahead of them [again] until it stood above [the house] where the child was.
10 Na iyene fiyinie, isu ayi abo nin liburi libo kang.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced greatly [and followed it].
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 [found] the house and entered it and saw the child and his mother, Mary. They bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasure [boxes] [MTY] and they gave gold, [costly] frankincense, and myrrh to him.
12 Na ise uwannu nataf kiti Kutellẹ nan nya namorona iwa kpilin kitin Hiridus ba, ifita i yira nlong libau ugang ukpillu kipin mine.
[Because] God [knew that King Herod planned to kill Jesus], in a dream the men who studied the stars were warned {he warned the men who studied the stars} that they should not return to [King] Herod. So they returned to their country, [but instead of traveling back on the same road, they] went on a different road.
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.”
After the men who studied the stars left [Bethlehem], an angel [from] the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. He said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you [(sg) that you should leave], because [King] Herod is about [to send soldiers] to look for the child so that they can kill him.”
14 A tunna nin kitik ka ne afita a yauna ggono kinesse nin nene inya mun ucindu umasar.
So Joseph got up, he took the child and his mother [that] night, and they fled to 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.”
They stayed there until [King] Herod died, [and then they left Egypt]. By doing that, it was {they} fulfilled what the prophet [Hosea] wrote, which had been said by the Lord {which the Lord had said}, I have told my son to come out of Egypt.
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.
[While King] Herod [was still living], because he realized that he had been tricked by the men who studied the stars {the men who studied the stars had tricked him}, he became furious. Then, [assuming that Jesus was still in Bethlehem or the surrounding regions], Herod sent [soldiers there] to kill all the boy babies two years old and younger. [Herod calculated how old the baby was], according to what the men who studied the stars told him [about when the star first appeared].
17 Ulirue u ni wa kulo vilengwe na iwa bellin kitin Irimiya unan liru nin nuuKutellẹ.
[Because Bethlehem and Ramah towns were in the area where the descendants of Jacob’s wife Rachel lived, when soldiers killed the infant boys], they fulfilled what Jeremiah the prophet wrote,
18 “I wa lanza liwani nan nyan rama, kuculu nin tiyom a liburi lisirne, Rahilla di kuculu nnono me.”
[Women] in Ramah were weeping and wailing loudly. [Women who were the descendants] of Rachel, [the ancestor of the women there] [SYN], were grieving for [what happened to] their children. [Even though people tried to comfort them], they would not be comforted {stop mourning}, because their children were dead.
19 Na Hiridus nku gono kadura Kutellẹ da kitin Yusufu nan nya namoro in masar.
After Herod died [and while Joseph and his family were still in Egypt], an angel that the Lord [had sent] appeared to Joseph in Egypt in a dream.
20 “Aworo, Fita, yauna gono kinesse nin nene, udo nan nyan nmin Israila.”
He said to Joseph, “Take the child and his mother and go back to Israel [to live], because the people who were looking for the child [in order to kill him] have died.”
21 Yusufue fita, a yauna gone nin nene, ada nan nya nmin Israila.
So Joseph took the child and his mother, and they went back to 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.
When Joseph heard that Archaelaus now ruled in Judea [district] instead of his father, [King] Herod [the Great], he was afraid to go there. Because he was warned {[God] warned Joseph} in a dream [that it was still dangerous for them to live in Judea], he [and Mary and Jesus] went to Galilee [District]
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.
to Nazareth [to live there]. The result was that what had been said by the ancient prophets {what the ancient prophets had said} [about the Messiah], that he would be called {people would call him} a Nazareth-man, was fulfilled {came true}.
