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,
UYesu alyaholilue mu likaaja ilya Betelehemu, mu kighavo ikya yUdea, unsiki ghuno alyatemile umtwa uHelode. UYesu ye aholilue, avakaguzi va nhondue kuhuma kuvudibulo vakafika mu likaaja ilya 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.”
vakava viposi viiti, “Ali kuughi juno aholilue, uNtwa ghwa Vayahudi? Tujaghile inhondue jino jihufia kuholua kwa mwene jihumile kuvudibulo, fye nambe twisile kukumwimika.
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Untwa uHelode ye apuliike isio, akapumuka mu mwojo ghwake. Nava vaanhu vooni ava mu likaaja ilya Yelusalemu voope vakapumuka.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Pepano akakong'hania avavaha va vatekesi vooni palikimo na vavulanisi va ndaghilo akavaposisi akati, “Ukilisite iholua kuughi?”
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Iholua mu likaaja ilya Betelehemu, mu kighavo ikya Yudea. Tukagwile isio ulwakuava se sino alyalembile um'bili kuuti,
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.’”
Na juuve ghwe likaaja lya a betelehemu, ghwe juno uli mu kighavo ikya Yudea, Nuli n'debe, mu makaaja agha mu Yudea! Ulwakuva mulyuve mwe muno ihuma umulongosi, juno iiva n'diimi ghwa vaanhu vango aVaisilaeli.”
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Pe uhelode akavakemeela ku vusyefu avakaguzi vala ava nhondue, kuuti vam'buule vunono unsinki ghuno vajaghile inhondue jila.
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.”
Pe akavasuug'ha ku Betelehemu, akavavuula akati, “Lutagha, muposelesie vunofu vwimila umwana ujuo. Mungamwalghe, mwisaghe ng'haning'haani mumbuule, neke na juune nilute kuskumwimika.”
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.
Avakagusi vala ava nhondue ye vapuliike amasio gha ntwa, vakavuuka viluta. Lolagha, inhondue jila jino vakajaghile kuvudibulo, jikavalongolela, voope vakava vikujivingilila kuhanga jikafika na kukwima pano pwealyale umwana,
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Ye vajaghile kange inhondue jila, vakahovoka kyongo.
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.
Pe vakingila mu nyumba, vakamwagha umwana palikimo nu ng'ina uMaliya, vakafughama, vakamwimika. Vakavopola inyambe saave, vakambonola umwana, vakahumia: isahabu, uvufumba ni manemane ghano ghaale mafuta amanya lunuusi ulunono.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Unguluve akavapavila mu njosi kuuti, navangakililaghe kange kwa Helode. Pe vakakilila isila ijingi kugomoka ku likaaja lyave.
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.”
Avakagusi va nhondue ye valutile, unyamhola ghwa Mutwa akam'bonekela uYosefu mu njosi, akam'buula akati, “Sisimuka! Untoole umwana nu ng'ina, mkimbilile ku iisi ija Misili, ulwakuva uHelode ikumulonda umwana ujuo kuuti am'bude. Mukalaghe kula kuhanga unsiki ghuno kyanikuvavuula kuuti mugomoke.”
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Ikilo jila jila uYosefu akasisimuka, akantoola umwana nu ng'ina, akakimbilila 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.”
Vakikala kula kuhanga kufika unsiki ghuno uHelode ifua. Uluo lulyavombiike kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila um'bili ghwake kuuti, “Nikankemelile umwanango 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.
UHelode akakagula kuuti, avakagusi va nhondue vala vansyangile, akakalala fiijo. pe akavasuung'ha avaanhu ku Betelehemu na mu makaaja ghano ghalyale mulubale, kuuti vavabude avaana avadiimi vooni, kutegulila avafyele kufika avanya maaka ghavili. Akavomba uluo kuling'hana nu unsiki ghuno alyaposisie ku vakagusi va nhondue.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Uluo lulyavombiike kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila um'bili ghwake uYelemia kuuti.
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.”
“Ilisio lipulikiike mu likaaja ilya Lama, avaanhu vikoola na kulila fiijo. Lisio lya Laheli, ikuvalilila avaana vaake,
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Pambele uHelode akafua. UYosefu ye ajiighe ku Misili, unyamhola ghwa Mutwa akam'bonekela kange mu njosi.
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.”
Akam'buula akati, “Sisimuka! Untoole umwana nu ng'ina, ugomoke mu iisi ija Isilaeli, ulwakuva vano valondagha kukum'buda umwana, vafwile.”
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Pepono uYosefu akasisimuka, akantoola umwana nu ng'ina, vakagomoka mu iisi ija 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,
Neke ye apuliike kuuti uAlikelao ghwe juno ahaliile pa viise uHelode kutema ikighavo ikya Yudea, akoghopa piluta kula. Akapavilua mu njosi kuuti nangalutaghe ukuo, pe akaluta ku kighavo ikya 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.
Ukuo, akikala mu mu kikaaja ikya Nasaleti. Uluo, lulyavombiike kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila avavili kuuti, Itambulwagha Munasalete.”
