Matthew 2
1 Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,
Nikwakamana kuzyalwa kwa Jesu muBbetelehemu waku Judiya mumazuba a Mwami Helodi, balumi bayiide bazwa kujwe bakasika mu Jelusalema kabamba kuti
2 Where is the king of the Jews that has been born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.
“ulikuli ooyo wakazyalwa kali Mwami waba Juda? Twakabona nyenyezi yakwe kujwe alimwi twaza kuzomukomba.”
3 But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
Awo Helodi Mwami nakamvwa eechi, zyakamukatazya abantu boonse mbakali abo mu Jelusalemu.
4 and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
Helodi wakabeta amwi boonse bapaizi bapati alimwi abalembi babantu, mpawo wakababuzya, “Nkukuli Kkilisito nkwayozyalilwa?”
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:
Bakaamba kuti kulinguwe, “Mu Bbetelehemu wa Judiya, nkambo oobu mbubo mbukwakalembwa amusinsiimi,
6 And thou Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.
Pesi iwebo, Bbetelehemu, chisi cha Judiya tamuli banini pe akati kabendelezi baJuda, nkambo kuzwa kulinduwe kuyozwa uyowendelezya, uyoyembela bantu bangu Izilayeli.”
7 Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;
Mpawo Helodi chakusisikizya wakiita baalumi bayiide kuti abuzye kuti nchiindinzi loko inyenyezi niyakaboneka.
8 and having sent them to Bethlehem, said, Go, search out accurately concerning the child, and when ye shall have found [him] bring me back word, so that I also may come and do him homage.
Wakabatuma kuBbetelehemu, wati, “kamuya mukamulangule chabusongo, mwana munini. kuti naa mwakumujana, mundetele mazembe ambebo inga ndilabola kuzomukomba.
9 And they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it came and stood over the place where the little child was.
Nibakamaninsya kumvwa Mwami, bakeenda anzila yabo, alimwi inyenyezi njibakalibwene kujwe yakabazulwida kusikila yayimikila awo mwana munini mpakalibede.
10 And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Aboobo nibakabona inyenyezi, bakabotelwa alukondo lupati.
11 And having come into the house they saw the little child with Mary his mother, and falling down did him homage. And having opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Bakanjila mung'anda bamubona mwana munini antomwe a Meli banyina. Bakawidaansi akumukomba. Bakavununa buvubi bwabo mpawo bamupa izipo zyangolida, tununkilizyo atwa mili.
12 And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Leza wakabachenjezya kumaloto kuti batajokeli pe kuli Helodi, aboobo bakajoka kunyika yabo anzila imbi.
13 Now, they having departed, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Arise, take to [thee] the little child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there until I shall tell thee; for Herod will seek the little child to destroy it.
Nibakabuka akwenda, mu ngelo wa Mwami wakalibonia kuli Jozefu muchiloto wamba wati, “Buka, bweza mwana munini abanyina, uchijile ku Ijipita. Ukkale mumo kusikila ndikwambile, nkambno Helodi uyomulanguula mwana munini kuti amuzimaazye.”
14 And, having arisen, he took to [him] the little child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.
Mansiku ngawo aayo Jozefu wakabuka wamubweza mwana munini antomwe abanyina mpawo wanyampuka winka ku Ijipita.
15 And he was there until the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken by [the] Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
Wakakkala nkukoko kusikila lufu lwa Helodi. Eechi chakazuzikizya eecho chakaambwa a Mwami kwiinda kumusinsiimi, “Kuzwa mu Ijipita ndamwiita mwana wangu.”
16 Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the magi, was greatly enraged; and sent and slew all the boys which [were] in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time which he had accurately inquired from the magi.
Mpawo Helodi, naakabona kuti weenwa abalumi bayiide, wakanyema kapati. Wakatumina akujaya boonse bana balombe bakali mu Bbetelehemu azisi zyoonse zizyungulukide bakaala minyaka ibiili kaziya ansi yakuzyalwa kakwendelana a chiindi mbuuli mbwakaziba kubaalumi bayiide.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying,
Lino chakazuzikizya chakaambwa kwiinda kumusinsiimi Jelemiya.
18 A voice has been heard in Rama, weeping, and great lamentation: Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
“Ijwi lyakamvwigwa mu Lama, kulila a koomoka, Lakkeli ukwilila bana bakwe, alimwi wakkaka kumbulizigwa, nkambo tabachiwo.”
19 But Herod having died, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Elyo Helodi nakaafwa, langa mungelo wa-Leza wakaboneka muchiloto kuli Jozefu mu Ijiputi akwamba kuti,
20 Arise, take to [thee] the little child and its mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the little child are dead.
“Buka akubweza mwana a banyina akuya kunyika ya Izilayeli, nkambo abo bakalikuvwima buumi bwamwana bakafwa.”
21 And he arose and took to [him] the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;
Jozefu wakabuka, wakabweza mwana a banyina, akuboola munyika ya Izilayeli.
22 but having heard that 'Archelaus reigns over Judaea, instead of Herod his father,' he was afraid to go there; and having been divinely instructed in a dream, he went away into the parts of Galilee,
Pesi nakamvwa kuti Achelawusi wakali kwendelezya atala a Judiya abusena bwawisi Helodi, wakayoowa kwiinka nkuko. Nakamana kumuchenjezya Leza muchiloto, wakazwa wayakuchisi chaba Gilili
23 and came and dwelt in a town called Nazareth; so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, He shall be called a Nazaraene.
alimwi wakinka wakukkala mudolopo pati litegwa Nazaleta. Echi chakazuzikizigwa chakaambidwe kwinda kubasinsimi, kuti uyoyitwa kutegwa mu Nazaleta.
