Matayo 2
1 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,
NOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, lo! Magians from the East came to Jerusalem,
2 “Aj'hendaku muene ambajhe ahogoliki Mfalme ghwa Bhayahudi? Twaj'hibhuene nyota j'hiake mashariki natu tuhidili kumwabudu.”
saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the East, and are come to pay him homage.
3 Pindi Mfalme Herode bhoapeliki agha adadili sanan, ni Yerusalemu j'hioha pamonga nu muene.
Now when Herod the king heard this, he was much agitated, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Herode abhabhongene bhak'alo bha makuhani bhoha ni bhaalembesi bha bhanu, nu muene akabhakota, “Kristu ibetakuhogoleka ndaku?”
And assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he enquired of them, where the Messiah should be born.
5 Bhan'j'hobhili, “Mu Bethelehemu j'ha Bhuj'hahudi, kwa kuj'ha efe ndo kyaj'hilembibhu ni nabii,
Then they answered him, In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet,
6 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.”
“And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, art in no respect the least amongst the princes of Judah, for from thee shall go forth the Ruler, who shall conduct my people Israel.”
7 Efyo Herode abhakutili bhala bhasomi kwa siri ni kubhakhota ndo bhwakati gani hasa litondo libhonekeghe.
Thereupon Herod secretly calling to him the Magians, enquired very particularly of them the time of the star’s appearing,
8 Akabhatuma Bethelehem, akajobha, “Mlotai kwa bhuangalifu mu kandondaghe muana j'ha ahogoliki. Bhwakati pamwibeta kumbona, mundetayi habari ili nani nibhwesiayi kuhida ni kumwabudu.”
and sending them to Bethlehem said, Go, and procure the most exact information respecting this child; and when you have found him, bring me intelligence, that I may come, and pay him homage also.
9 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.
So having heard the king, they went on; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the East, had gone before them, till it came and stood over the place where the infant was.
10 Bhwakati bho bhaj'hibhuene litondo, bhahobhwaki kwa furaha m'baha munu.
And when they saw the star, they were exceedingly transported with joy.
11 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.
And coming into the house, they found the infant with Mary his mother, and falling prostrate, they paid their homage to him. And opening their treasures, they made their offerings to him, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 K'yara abhaonyili mu ndoto bhasibhuj'hi kwa Herode, hivyo, bhabhokili kubhuj'ha mu nchi syabho kwanj'ela j'henge.
And having received warning in a dream not to go back to Herod, they departed into their own country by another road.
13 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.
Now when they were gone, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the infant and his mother by night, and flee into Egypt, and stay there, till I speak to thee, for Herod will search for the infant to destroy it.
14 Pakilu apu Yusufu ajhumuiki ni kuntola muana ni ndebhuake ni kukhem'belela Misri.
So rising up, he took the babe and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt,
15 Atamili okhu hadi Herode bho afuili. Ejhe j'hatimisibhu khela Bwana bhoajobhili kup'hetela nabii, “Kuhoma Misri nu nkutili mwanabhangu.”
and was there till the death of Herod; that what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
16 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.
Then Herod, perceiving that he was treated delusively by the Magians, was greatly exasperated, and he sent and slew all the male infants, that were in Bethlehem, and in all its territories, from their entering their second year and all under it, according to the time, which he had accurately enquired from the Magians.
17 Ndipo palyatimisibhu lela lilobhi lyalyajobhibhu kwa kinywa kya nabii Yeremia,
Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18 “Sauti j'hap'helekiki Ramah, kilelu ni maombolezo mabhaha, Raheli bho ikabhalelela bhana munu na abelili kufarijibhwa, kwwa ndabha bhajhelepi kabhele.”
“A cry was heard at Ramah, lamentation, and wailing, and bitter moaning, Rachel weeping for her children, and will not be comforted, because they are no more.”
19 Herode bho afuili, langai malaika ghwa Bwana an'tokili Yusufu mu ndoto okhu Misri ni kujobha,
Now when Herod was dead, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 “J'hinukayi n'tolayi muana ni ndebhuake, na mulotai mu nchi j'ha Israeli kwa ndabha bhabhalondeghe bhuhai bhwa muana bhafuili.”
saying, Arise, and take the little boy and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they who sought the life of the infant are dead.
21 Yusufu aj'hinuiki, an'tolili muana pamonga nu ndebhuake, na bhahidili mu nchi j'ha Israeli.
So he arose, and took the child and his mother, and came unto the land of Israel.
22 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
But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the stead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither. And being divinely warned in a dream, he retired into the country of Galilee,
23 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.
and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that what was said by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he shall be called a Nazarean.
