< Matthew 2 >

1 When Jesus then was borne at Bethleem in Iudea, in the dayes of Herod the King, beholde, there came Wisemen from the East to Hierusalem,
Baada jha Yesu kuhogoleka mu Bethelehem j'ha Bhuj'hahudi mu magono gha mfalme Herode, bhanu bhasomi kuh'oma mashariki gha patali bhahidili Yerusalemu bhajobhili,
2 Saying, Where is that King of the Iewes that is borne? for wee haue seene his starre in the East, and are come to worship him.
“Aj'hendaku muene ambajhe ahogoliki Mfalme ghwa Bhayahudi? Twaj'hibhuene nyota j'hiake mashariki natu tuhidili kumwabudu.”
3 When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and all Hierusalem with him.
Pindi Mfalme Herode bhoapeliki agha adadili sanan, ni Yerusalemu j'hioha pamonga nu muene.
4 And gathering together all the chiefe Priestes and Scribes of the people, hee asked of them, where Christ should be borne.
Herode abhabhongene bhak'alo bha makuhani bhoha ni bhaalembesi bha bhanu, nu muene akabhakota, “Kristu ibetakuhogoleka ndaku?”
5 And they saide vnto him, At Beth-leem in Iudea: for so it is written by the Prophet,
Bhan'j'hobhili, “Mu Bethelehemu j'ha Bhuj'hahudi, kwa kuj'ha efe ndo kyaj'hilembibhu ni nabii,
6 And thou Beth-leem in the lande of Iuda, art not the least among the Princes of Iuda: For out of thee shall come the gouernour that shall feede that my people Israel.
Naghwe Bethelehemu, mu nchi j'ha Yuda, n'debe lepi miongoni mwa bhalongosi bha Yuda, kwa kuj'ha kuhoma kwa bhebhe ibetakuhida mtawala j'haibetakubhadima bhanu bhangu Israeli.”
7 Then Herod priuily called the Wisemen, and diligently inquired of them the time of the starre that appeared,
Efyo Herode abhakutili bhala bhasomi kwa siri ni kubhakhota ndo bhwakati gani hasa litondo libhonekeghe.
8 And sent them to Beth-leem, saying, Goe, and searche diligently for the babe: and when ye haue founde him, bring mee worde againe, that I may come also, and worship him.
Akabhatuma Bethelehem, akajobha, “Mlotai kwa bhuangalifu mu kandondaghe muana j'ha ahogoliki. Bhwakati pamwibeta kumbona, mundetayi habari ili nani nibhwesiayi kuhida ni kumwabudu.”
9 So when they had heard the King, they departed: and loe, the starre which they had seene in the East, went before them, till it came and stoode ouer the place where the babe was.
Baada j'ha kuj'ha bhamp'heliki mfalme, bhaj'hendelili ni safuari syabhu, ni litondo lela ambalyo bhalibhwene mashariki j'habhalongolili hadi paj'haj'hemili panani pa muene pa ahogoliki.
10 And when they sawe the starre, they reioyced with an exceeding great ioy,
Bhwakati bho bhaj'hibhuene litondo, bhahobhwaki kwa furaha m'baha munu.
11 And went into the house, and founde the babe with Mary his mother, and fell downe, and worshipped him, and opened their treasures, and presented vnto him giftes, euen golde, and frankincense, and myrrhe.
Bhaj'hingili mu nyumba ni kumbona muana j'haahogoliki ni Mariamu ndebhuake. Bhansujudili ni kumwabudu. Bhabhopuili hazina syabho ni kumpisya zawadi sya dhahabu, bhuvumba, ni manemane.
12 And after they were warned of God in a dreame, that they should not go againe to Herod, they returned into their countrey another way.
K'yara abhaonyili mu ndoto bhasibhuj'hi kwa Herode, hivyo, bhabhokili kubhuj'ha mu nchi syabho kwanj'ela j'henge.
13 After their departure, behold, the Angel of the Lord appeareth to Ioseph in a dreame, saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there til I bring thee word: for Herod will seeke the babe, to destroy him.
Baada j'ha kuj'ha bhabhokhili, malaika ghwa Bwana antokili Yusufu mu ndoto ni kujobha, “J'hinukai ntolai muana ni nyinamunu na mulotai Misri. Mubakilai okhu mpaka panibeta kubhajobhela, kwa kuj'ha Herode akandonda muana ili anj'hangamisiaghe.
14 So he arose and tooke the babe and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
Pakilu apu Yusufu ajhumuiki ni kuntola muana ni ndebhuake ni kukhem'belela Misri.
15 And was there vnto the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, Out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.
Atamili okhu hadi Herode bho afuili. Ejhe j'hatimisibhu khela Bwana bhoajobhili kup'hetela nabii, “Kuhoma Misri nu nkutili mwanabhangu.”
16 Then Herod, seeing that he was mocked of the Wisemen, was exceeding wroth, and sent foorth, and slew all the male children that were in Beth-leem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two yeere old and vnder, according to the time which he had diligently searched out of the Wisemen.
Kisha Herode bho abhuene adhihakibhu ni bhanu bhasomi, adadili sana. Alaghisi kukomibhwa kwa bhana bhoha bhagosi bhabhaj'hele Bhethelehemu ni bhoha mu lieneo lela ambalyo bhaj'hele ni umri bhwa miaka mibhele ni pasi pa apu kul'engana ni bhwakati bhwa aj'hele athibitishi kabisa kuhoma kwa bhala bhasomi.
17 Then was that fulfilled which is spoken by the Prophet Ieremias, saying,
Ndipo palyatimisibhu lela lilobhi lyalyajobhibhu kwa kinywa kya nabii Yeremia,
18 In Rhama was a voyce heard, mourning, and weeping, and great howling: Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not.
“Sauti j'hap'helekiki Ramah, kilelu ni maombolezo mabhaha, Raheli bho ikabhalelela bhana munu na abelili kufarijibhwa, kwwa ndabha bhajhelepi kabhele.”
19 And whe Herod was dead, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeareth in a dreame to Ioseph in Egypt,
Herode bho afuili, langai malaika ghwa Bwana an'tokili Yusufu mu ndoto okhu Misri ni kujobha,
20 Saying, Arise, and take the babe and his mother, and goe into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the babes life.
“J'hinukayi n'tolayi muana ni ndebhuake, na mulotai mu nchi j'ha Israeli kwa ndabha bhabhalondeghe bhuhai bhwa muana bhafuili.”
21 Then he arose vp and tooke the babe and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Yusufu aj'hinuiki, an'tolili muana pamonga nu ndebhuake, na bhahidili mu nchi j'ha Israeli.
22 But whe he heard that Archelaus did reigne in Iudea in stead of his father Herod, he was afraide to go thither: yet after he was warned of God in a dreame, he turned aside into the parts of Galile,
Lakini bho ap'eliki kuj'ha Arikelau aj'hele itawala Yuda mahali pa tata ghwake Herode, atilili kulota okhu. Baada j'ha K'yara kumwonya mu ndoto, abhokhili kulota mkoa ghwa Galilaya
23 And went and dwelt in a citie called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophets, which was, That hee should be called a Nazarite.
na alotili kutama okhu mu mji bhwabhwikutibhwa Nazareti. E'le lyatimisi k'hela kyakyaj'hele kimalili kujobhibhwa kwa nj'hela j'ha manabii, kuj'ha ibetakukutibhwa Mnazareti.
