Matiyu 2
1 Da ba ngrji Yesu ni Betalahim u Yahudiya ni ntton wu chu Fero, indi bi toh bari baa ye rji ni Urushalima,
Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 Ba tre ichu Yahudawa wa ba ngrji wu'a he mame? Kie toh Tsitsen ma ni ko Nzan u kie ye chi.
Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
3 Niwo tre yi, Fero ka katie gbododo (wieme) me ni indi bi Urushalima wawu mba wu.
And Herod the king having heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Da ayo firist bi ni nkon ni bi nha u ndi mba a mye ba ka bandi toh wrji wa ba ngrji Kristi a?
And having gathered together all the chief priests and scholars of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ is born.
5 U baka hla wu Ni Batakami u Yahudiya a na ki anabawa ba nha,
And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea. For thus it is written through the prophet,
6 Iwu me' Batalami, igbu Yahudiya ana hi wuyi u nkle ni mi ba chu bi gbu Yahuda na: to gona wa ani nji ndimu Israila ani rji niwu.
And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah, for out of thee will come forth a man who rules, who will tend my people Israel.
7 Hirudus ka yo shehuna ba ni yaybi nda mla wo inton wa to tsintsen'a.
Then Herod having called the wise men privately, ascertained from them what time the star appeared.
8 A tonba hi Baitalami nda tre, Hi yi', hu sren me di mla wo tre' u vrenyi, biti tou bika ye hlamu, ndu me ngame ye ciwu.
And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, After going, search diligently about the child. And when ye find him, report to me, so that I also having come, may worship him.
9 Da ba wo tre chua kle, ba ka wlu hi nda to, tsitsen wa bana tou ni ki nzan, azren guci sihi ni ko shishi mba, nda zren hito ki me aka kukrli gyame ni bubu wa ivren he'a.
And when they heard the king, they departed. And lo, the star that they saw in the east went before them until, having come, it stood over where the child was.
10 Da ba to vren baka ngri nda briku.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 Ba ri nimi koha nda to kpran vrena mba yi ma Maryamu nda ti gbru kukru nda ciu nda bwu ikpi wa ba nji'a nda nno; Zinariya mba Lubban u jawul.
And having come into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down, they worshiped him. And having opened their treasures, they brought to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 U Irji ka ti ba rah ndu bana lahi zu ni Hiridus ngana ba wlu zu nkon ri nka hi gbumba.
And divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another way.
13 Niwa ba wlu hu, u malaika Rji kaye ni Isuwu ni rah nda hla wu, “Wlu, ban vren'a mba yima, ndi tsutsu hi ni Masar, son niki me di la ka wo ni me rli: Hiridus niwa wu kpran vren'a.
Now after they departed, behold, an agent of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, After rising, take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and thou be there until I tell thee, for Herod is going to seek the child to destroy it.
14 Wa aye wlu'a a bari kpran vren'a ba yima ni cuu nda tsutsu hi ni Masar;
And having awakened, he took the child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.
15 Nda he niki me ye mla niqu Hiridus: wa aku gyre me ni tre Baci wa a hla ni ngu Anabi, din nimi Masar mi yo' vren mu.
And he was there until the end of Herod, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, Out of Egypt I called my Son.
16 Hiridus a ye to di shehuna ba yau hlega ni tre ma, nda tie vrafu nda ndu ba wu mrli nlon bi Batalami, ni bi gbu wa ba he nha niwu'a bi wa ise mba a mla harli kima krji; bla rji ni nton wa a wo trea ni shehuna ba.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was scorned by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and having sent forth, he killed all the boys in Bethlehem, and in all the borders of it, from two years old and under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men.
17 Rli kuko u ikpie wa ba hla ni nyu anabi Irimiya kaye ku tsra,
Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, which says,
18 Ba wo lan nimi Rama, iyi mba jequ, Rahila aniyi ni tu mrli ma, nda na wo wiere na wa mrli ba ba qu'a
A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children. And she did not want to be comforted, because they are not.
19 Hiridus ye qu u malaika Baci ka ye ni Isuwa ni rah ni mi Masar, nda hla,
But when Herod perished, behold, an agent of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 Wu ban kpran vren'a mba yima di hi ni meme Israila: e bi wa bazi wa wu kpran vrenia ba qu ye.
After rising, take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those seeking the child's life have died.
21 A ye wlu nda ba kpranvren'a ni yima nda ye ni mi meme Israila.
And having awaken, he took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Wa'a wo ndi Arkilaus a kpa chu u tiema Hiridus nda nji Yahudiya a klu sisri uhi ni ki, u Rji ka tsro ni rah ndu vu y'ba hi ni meme Galili.
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee.
23 Aye nda ka son ni gburi wa ba yowu ndi Nazarat: ndu ikpie wa ba hla ni nyu anabawa ndu he me, ba yowu u-Nazarat.
And having come, he dwelt in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, that he will be called a Nazarene.
