Matta 2
1 Bwikako ci bo Yecu Baitalami biten Yahudiya ki core wo Hirudu Liyau, Kangem nob nyomka bifumer kwama bo Urcalima. Tokti ki.
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 “Fee wo ci bo Liya Yahudawa? nyon to bitiren cero twar, nya bo na nyi wabka.
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 La Liya Hiridu nuwa nyori, kwom co kambo ken kange hwam nubo Urcalima.
Now when Herod the king heard this, he was much agitated, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Hiridu mwer Liyab wabe kwama gwam kange nob mulankab nibe. me ci “kiriti a bo fe?” Cin yi co.
And assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he enquired of them, where the Messiah should be born.
5 “Mor Baitalami Yahudiya nyo won co dike bibei tomange kwama mulange”.
Then they answered him, In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet,
6 “Mo Baitalami mor biten Yahudiya mo kebo wo duwal-duwali tiber Liyab yahudiya. more mwe an fiya nii a ca Liyar tiye wo a yila nii biyuwar nobo Lomi Iciraila”.
“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 La Hiridu cwo nob nyomka bifumer reu, yurangum Yurange, me ci “Fiyang bitiren do cerkanguwe?”.
Thereupon Herod secretly calling to him the Magians, enquired very particularly of them the time of the star’s appearing,
8 Con twom ci Baitalami, yiciti, “Kom ya ki fuwa bwe biduware ki Lima ki Lima, no kom fiya ri, ko bou kom yiye, na mo ken nan ya nan wabco.”
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 Bwikako ci nuwa diker Liya yi ciye ri cin kwen ci ta nure, bitiren do wo ci to twareu yakenti ka ci ya yan titi dor luwe bwe bi duware wiye.
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 La ci to bitirndo ri cin bilangi ki bilankako dur.
And when they saw the star, they were exceedingly transported with joy.
11 Cin do mor luwe, nen cin to bwe bi duwareu kange nece Maryamu. cin cung bitine cin wabco. cin kwim cwaye ciye neco Lima nerek, mwinek kange lubban kange mor.
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 Kwama yi ci mor dukume, ciya yilare fiye Hiridu nine. yori cin yilaken bitine ciye nure kange.
And having received warning in a dream not to go back to Herod, they departed into their own country by another road.
13 Bwikako ci kweneu cin to nii tomange teluwe cerkangu Yucufu nin yi co, “Kwen tu bwe bi duwae wo kange bece cwa cu ciko biten Masare.
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 Kume cuwo Yucufu tu bweu kange nece u Masar. yi ken firen yinen di na nimre, wori Huridu cuiti na twalum bweu.
So rising up, he took the babe and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt,
15 Cin yike fire Hiridu Bwiyati. Wo na dim diker teluwe be tokeu nyi nii tomange, “Min cuwou bi bwemi Masar”.
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 Hiridu to nob nyomka Bifumereu bwanten bo ker cero ri mam funer ducce, cin twomi a twalangum bi bei nabarubbe bi duwartini gwam, wo Baitalami kange buro bi dom kange ce tati coro yob yirau ciko bitine.
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 Fiya cuwo la dike nii tomange Irimiya toke dimme.
Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18 Cin nuwa diro kange Rama ci wiye ti kinero fir cilong-cilonge, Rahila ci wiye dor bi beiyo locer. Mani ca fiya birum nere ti wo mani.
“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 Fiya cuwo Hiridu bwiyame, nii tomange teluwe cerkangu Yucufu nin mor dukume mansar. yi co,
Now when Herod was dead, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Kweni tu bwe bi duwarewo kange nece yakan Iciraila, nyori niwo do dume bwetiye bwiyam”.
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 Yucufu kweni tu bwe bi duware kane nece cu biten Iciraila.
So he arose, and took the child and his mother, and came unto the land of Israel.
22 La ci nuwa Akilayu bi bwe Hiridu Ca liyar ti biten Yafudiya, con nuwa tai lakako firen. Bwikako kwama yi co ker mor dukume, cin tiyangum biten Galili.
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 Yiken fiye kange ci cuwo ti ki Nazaret wo na dim dike ci toki nyii nob tomange ki, “Ciya cuwo co ki bwe nazare re.
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.
