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,
Yesu kiwukiti mlushi lwa Betirehemu, muliboma lya Yudeya, shipindi Herodi pakaweriti mfalumi. Kamkamu hera pakiwukiti kala, wantu wana malifa ga ntondu wiziti kulawa kwagulawa mshenji kwa kutali wasokiti Yerusalemu,
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.”
wakosiyiti, “Kakoshi mwana, Mfalumi gwa Wayawudi yakiwukiti? Tuyiwona ntondu yakuwi kulawa kwagulawa mshenji, na twiza kumguwira yomberi.”
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Mfalumi Herodi pakapikaniriti aga, kalisheriti, yomberi pamuhera na woseri yawalikala Yerusalemu.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Su kawashemiti watambika wakulu woseri pamuhera na wafunda wa Malagaliru na kuwakosiya, “Kristu Mlopoziya hakiwuki koshi?”
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Womberi wamwankula, “Hakiwuki mlushi lwa Betirehemu, muliboma lya Yudeya. Hangu ndo ntambu yawalembiti wambuyi wa Mlungu,
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.’”
‘Gwee Betirehemu isi ya Yuda, Gwenga gwa mdidini ndiri mulushi lumanikana lwa Yudeya, Toziya kwa gwenga hakalawili mlongoziya njira, Yakawalongoziya wantu wangu Israeli.’”
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Su Herodi kawashemiti mubada wahenga yawalawiti kwagulawa mshenji, kawakosiyiti shipindi sheni ntondu payiwalawiriti.
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.”
Shakapanu kawagambiriti wagendi Betirehemu pakalonga, “Mgendi mwakaloli weri visoweru vya mwana ayu, pamvimana kala munjegeli visoweru su naneni hang'endi kumguwira.”
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.
Pawampikaniriti kala mfalumi, wamana ntondu walii wagenditi. Su ntondu ilii yawayiwoniti kwagulawa mshenji iwalonguleliti hata igenda kugoloka pahala palii pakaweriti mwana.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Pawayiwoniti ndondi ilii wanemeleriti nentu.
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.
Su, wingiriti mnumba, wamwoniti mwana ulii pamuhera na Mariya mawu gwakuwi, wasuntama pasi na wamguwira. Shakapanu wavugula na kumupa mafupu gawu ga zahabu na ubani na manemane.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Mlungu kawabeliziiyti mumpota nawamwuyira Herodi, su wawuyiti kuisi kwawu kwa njira yamonga.
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.”
Pawawukiti kala wahenga walii, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa Mlungu kamlawiriti Yosefu mukulota, kamgambiriti, “Gwimuki! Gumtoli mwana pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi, mtugili Misri. Mulikali kulii mpaka panukugambira, toziya Herodi kafira kumlaga mwana ayu.”
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Su, Yosefu kimukiti, kamtola mwana pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi, kawukiti pashiru kugenda Misri.
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.”
Kalikaliti kulii mpaka pakahowiti Herodi. Shitwatila ashi shitendikiti su shisoweru shakatakuliti Mtuwa kwa njira ya mbuyi gwa Mlungu shitendeki, “Numshemiti mwana gwangu kulawa Misri.”
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.
Shakapanu Herodi pakavimaniti wahenga walii yawalawiti kwagulawa mshenji wamzyanga, kakalariti nentu. Kalagaliriti wanonu woseri wapalu mulushi lwa Betirehemu na mumpeku mwakuwi yawawera na umuli wa mivinja miwili na pasi pawu walagwi. Katenditi hangu kulawirana na shilii shakamaniti kulawa kwa wahenga walii wamana ntondu.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Hangu ndo ntambu ya vitimiyiti visoweru vya umbuyi wa Mlungu kwa njira ya mbuyi gwa Mlungu Yeremiya,
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.”
“Liziwu lipikanika aku Rama, Shiwembu na kudaya kuvuwa. Raheri kankuwalilira wana wakuwi, Na kafira ndiri kunyamala, Toziya woseri wahowa.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Herodi pakahowiti kala, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa Mlungu kamlawiriti Yosefu mundotu kulii Misri,
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.”
kamgambira, “Gwimuki! Gumtoli mwana pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi muwuyi muisi ya Israeli toziya woseri yawafiriti kumlaga mwana, wahowa kala.”
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Su Yosefu kimuka, kamtola mwana pamuhera na mawu gwa mwana na wawuya Israeli.
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,
Kumbiti Yosefu pakapikaniriti handa Arikerawu, mwana gwa Herodi kaweriti mfalumi gwa Yudeya pahala pakakolitimlima Herodi tati gwakuwi, katiliti kugenda kulii. Nayomberi, pawambereziyiti mundotu, su kagenditi wega zya 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.
na kalikaliti mlushi lwawalushema Nazareti. Hangu ndo ntambu yavitimiyiti visoweru vyakalongiti mbuyi gwa Mlungu, “Hawamshemi Mnazareti.”
