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,
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 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.
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 But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
O badciamo Herodi ń gbadi lanya maama, o yama ń ŋmadi lan mugi Jerusalema yaaba kuli.
4 and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
O badciamo ń taani salga yidkaacianba yeni u dogu nn gbanbanda, ki buali ki bandi ban ba mali Kiristu naana.
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:
Ban maadi o: li tie Betelema, Jude dogu nni; kelima o sawalpualo ń diani yaali n ne:
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.
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, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;
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 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.
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 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.
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 And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Ban la ki ŋmaabiga, bi pala ń mangi boncianla.
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.
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 And being divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into 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, 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.
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 And, having arisen, he took to [him] the little 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 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.
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, 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.
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 was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying,
Mɔla, o sawalpualo Jeremi ń den waani yaali tieni ki dudi:
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.
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 Herod having died, behold, an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Herodi ń kpe, ke maleki legdi ti dangdi nni Ejipti, ki maadi Josefi:
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.
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 And he arose and took to [him] the little child and its mother, and came into the land of Israel;
Josefi ń fii, ki taa ki biga yeni o naá, ki gedi Israyeli.
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,
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 dwelt in a town called Nazareth; so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, He shall be called a Nazaraene.
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.”
