< Matthew 2 >

1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Baada ya Yesu apapwe Mubethelehem iya Huuyahudi hu nsiku izya mwene u Herode, abhantu bhebhazizye afume humashariki iya patali bhahafishile hu Yerusalemu bhahaga,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
“Ali hwoshi yapapilwe umwene wabhayahudi? Tahayilolile inzota ya humashariki nati tinzile humpute.”
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Umwene u Herode la ahumvwa iga ahalalamushe ni Yerusalemu youti peka nu mwene.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
Uherode ahabhabhunginye agosi bhaadimi bhonti na asimbi bha bhantu, ahabhabhuzya, “Klisiti abhapapwe hwi?”
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
Bhamuzya, “Hu Bethelehemu iya Huyahudi, ishi sheyahasimbilwe na akuwa,
6 And you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
Naawe Bethelehemu, munsi iya Yuda, siga ndodo peka na alongozi abha hu Yuda, pipo afume huliwe abhahwinze umwene yahayibhadima abhantu bhani abha Israeli.”
7 Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Isho u Herode ahabhakwizizye bhala abhazyi hu siri na hubhabhuzye aje habhalilizyo bhuli inzota iloleshe.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
Ahabhatuma hu Bethelehemu, ahaga, “Bhalaji na hwenyelezye mumwanze umwana ya papilwe. Nkemwanola mundetele ihabari aje nani nkininze humpute.”
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, see, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Baada ya manye aje bhamwimvwizye umwene bhahendeliye ashule, ni mota ila yebhahayilolile humashariki yahabhalongoleye mpa lweyahimilila pala pa mwanya umwana ahapapilwe pansi yakwe.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Lwe bhahayilola inzota bhahashiye hani.
11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
Bhahinjiye munyumba nahunole umwana yapapilwe nu Mariamu unyina wakwe. Bhamwinamiye na humpute. Bhahiguye ivintu vyabho nahumfumizye izawadi zyabho izahabu nu uvumba ni manemane.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
U Ngulubhi ahabhasoshile mndoto aje bhasahawele hwa Herode, kwa hiyo bhahasoguye abhale hunsi yabho hwidala ilyinji.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be you there until I bring you word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
Baada ya sogole abhantumi bha Ngulubhi bhahamfumiye u Yusufu hunjozi ahadamushe, “Ua, humweje umwana nu nyina wakwe nu mwana na ahashimbiliye hu Misri. Mukhale hunuhwo mpaka lwe nahayibha bhuzya pipo u Herode ahumwana ili agoje.
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
Nunsiku u Yusufu ahadamusha na humweje umwana nu nyina wakwe ashimbilile Humisri.
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
Ahakhiye uhwo mpa u Herode nahafwa. Izi zyahafishiye shila Ungulubhi shahayinje ashilile hwa nkuwa, “Afume humisri inkwizizye mwana wani.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
U Herode, laahalola bhansufizye na bhantu abhazya, ahavitilwe hani. Ahalajizizye agoje abhana na bhonti abhishilume bhebhahali hu Bethelehemu na bhonti bhebhali pala ahwaudile amaha gabhili ahwishe pansi afume shebha yinje abhazyi.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
Pe twalibhombile izwi lila lyelyaha yangwilwe nukuwa u Yeremia,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
“Izi lyahimvwiha hu Ramah, impungo na zonde hani, u Raheli ahabhalililaga abhana bhakwe, na ahakhanile apumilizwe pipo abhana nabhamo.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
U Herode lwa hafwa abhantumi bha Ngulubhi bhahamwinziye u Yusufu mutulo uhwo hu Misri na yanje.
20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.
“Bhuha umweje umwa nu nyina wakwe mubhale hunsi iya hu Israeli pipo bhahanzaga uwumi wa mwana aje bhasahagoje.”
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
U Yusufu ahimiliye, amwega umwana nu mayi wakwe, ahinza munsi iyamu Israeli.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
Ishi la ahwumvwa aje u Arikelau ahali mwini wa hu Yuda pala pa yise wakwe u Herode, ahogope abhale uhwo. Baada ya Ngulubhi hunsoshe mutulo, ahasogoye abhale humukoa ugwa hu Galilaya,
23 And he came and dwelled in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
ahabhalile akhale munsi yihwitwa Nazareti. Ili lyahatimiye hu zila zyezyahayangwilwe hwi dala lya kuwa aje bhasiakwizye Mnazareti.
