Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
Hinu Yesu avelikiwi kumuji wa Betelehemu, mulima wa Yudea lukumbi lwa ulongosi wa nkosi Helodi. Bahapo peamali kuvelekwa vevimanya mambu ga ndondo kuhuma kwe lihumila lilanga vabwelili ku Yelusalemu,
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
vakavakota vandu, “Avi koki mwana yula, mweavelikwi kuvya Nkosi wa Vayawudi? Tiyiweni ndondo yaki yeyahumali kwe lihumila lilanga, na tete tibwelii kumgundamila.”
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Nkosi Helodi peayuwini ago, akavagaya mwene pamonga na vandu voha vevitama pa Yelusalemu.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Hinu akavakemela pamonga vamteta vakulu va Chapanga voha na vawula va Malagizu, akavakota, “Wu, Kilisitu Msangula yati ivelekewa koki?”
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Vene vakamyangula, “Muji wa Betelehemu mulima wa Yudea, ngati cheayandiki mlota wa Chapanga,
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
‘Veve muji wa Betelehemu mulima wa Yudea, veve katu wamdebe lepi mumiji yivaha ya Yudea, muni kwa veve yati ihumila chilongosi, mweilongosa vandu vangu, Isilaeli.’”
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Hinu, Helodi avakemili kuchiyepela vandu vala vevimanya mambu ga ndondo avakotakisi lukumbi chakaka ndondo payavaumalili.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
Kangi akavatuma kuhamba ku Betelehemu avajovili, “Muhamba mkakotakesa chamugati malovi ga mwana uyo. Ngati mumuwene mbwela kunijovela, muni mewawa na nene niamba kumgundamila.”
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
Vala vevimanya mambu ga ndondo, pevamali kumyuwanila nkosi vakahamba. Ndondo yevayiwene kwelihumila lilanga yavalongolili yahambili kuyima panani pandu pala peavi mwana.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Pavayiwene ndondo yila, vavi na luheku neju.
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Hinu vakayingila mugati, vakamlola mwana pamonga na Maliya nyina mwana, vakafugama na kumgundamila. Kangi vakawopola tuhaku vakatola njombi na vakampela zahabu na ubani na mahuta gegikemiwa manemane.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Chapanga avabesili munjozi vakotoka kumuwuyila Helodi, ndi vakawuya kumulima wavi munjila yingi.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
Pavawukili vayehe vala, mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga amuhumalili Yosefu munjozi, akamjovela, “Yimuka! Mtola mwana pamonga na nyina waki, mtilila ku Misili. Mkatama kwenuko mbaka panikuvajovela muni Helodi igana kumkoma mwana uyo.”
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Yosefu ayumwiki, akamtola mwana pamonga na nyina waki akawuka kilu yila, akahamba ku Misili.
15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
Akatama kwenuko mbaka Helodi peafwili. Lijambu lenili lakitiki muni lilovi leajovili Bambu munjila ya mlota wa Chapanga litimilayi, “Namkemili mwana vangu awuya kuhuma ku Misili.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.
Helodi peamanyili kuvya vala vevimanya mambu ga ndondo vamkongili, akamema ligoga. Akavatuma vandu vaki vahamba kuvakoma vana vagosi voha pamuji wa Betelehemu na mumihana yaki vevavi na umuli wa miaka yivili na kuhelela vakomiwayi. Akitili genago ndava ya lukumbi lula lweajoviwi na vandu vala vevamanyili mambu ga ndondo.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Ndi chagatimili malovi geajovili Yelemia mweavi mlota wa Chapanga,
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
“Lwami luyuwanika kumuji wa Lama, Chivembu cha mvinisu ukulu na kuwombeleza pamahele, Laheli akuvavembela vana vaki, Na ibela kupoleswa, muni voha vafwili.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Hinu, Helodi peafwili mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga amuhumalili Yosefu munjozi ku Misili kula,
20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
amjovili “Wuka! Mtola mwana na nyina waki, uwuya kavili kumulima wa Isilaeli, ndava vevaganayi kumkoma mwana vafwili.”
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Yosefu akawuka, akamtola mwana pamonga na nyina waki akawuya pamulima wa Isilaeli.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
Nambu Yosefu peayuwini kuvya Alikelao, mwana wa Helodi, ahalili unkosi wa Yudea pahali pa dadi waki, ayogwipi kuhamba kwenuko. Namwene peamali kubesewa munjozi, akahamba pamulima wa Galilaya,
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.
akahamalila kumuji weukemelewa Nazaleti. Ndi chagatimalili malovi gegajoviki munjila ya vamlota va Chapanga, “Yati ikemiwa mundu wa ku Nazaleti.”
