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,
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, learned men from the east arrived in 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 was born King of the Jews? 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.
When Herod the king heard this, 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?
Herod brought together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and he asked them, “Where is the Christ to be born?”
5 U baka hla wu Ni Batakami u Yahudiya a na ki anabawa ba nha,
They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is what was written by 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.
'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the leaders of Judah, for from you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'”
7 Hirudus ka yo shehuna ba ni yaybi nda mla wo inton wa to tsintsen'a.
Then Herod secretly called the learned men to ask them exactly what time the star had 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.
He sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search carefully for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and 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.
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star that they had seen in the east went before them until it came and stood still over where the young child was.
10 Da ba to vren baka ngri nda briku.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with very 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.
They went into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother. They fell down and worshiped him. They opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, 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.
God warned them in a dream not to return to Herod, so they departed to 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.
After they had departed, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the young child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Remain there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
14 Wa aye wlu'a a bari kpran vren'a ba yima ni cuu nda tsutsu hi ni Masar;
That night Joseph rose and took the young child and his mother 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.
He remained there until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet, “Out of Egypt I have 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 had been mocked by the learned men, was very angry. He sent and killed all the male children that were in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old and under, according to the time that he had determined exactly from the learned men.
17 Rli kuko u ikpie wa ba hla ni nyu anabi Irimiya kaye ku tsra,
Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet,
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, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and she refused to be comforted, because they were no more.”
19 Hiridus ye qu u malaika Baci ka ye ni Isuwa ni rah ni mi Masar, nda hla,
When Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said,
20 Wu ban kpran vren'a mba yima di hi ni meme Israila: e bi wa bazi wa wu kpran vrenia ba qu ye.
“Get up and take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.”
21 A ye wlu nda ba kpranvren'a ni yima nda ye ni mi meme Israila.
Joseph rose, 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 the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. After God warned him in a dream, he left for the region 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 went and lived in a city called Nazareth. This fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.
