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,
A Yeshu kubhabhelekwele ku Bheteleemu, nkowa gwa ku Yudea, mobha ga a Elode pubhaliji a mpalume, a Yeshu bhakabhelekweje, bhakwiimanyanga ndondwa gubhaikengenenje ku Yelushalemu kopoka kulikoposhela lyubha,
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.”
gubhabhushiyenje, “Kwali kwei mwana abhelekwe, mpalume jwa Bhayaudi? Twashinkulubhona lutondwa lwakwe lulikoposhela, putwaliji kulikoposhela lyubha na uwe tushikwiya kuntindibhalila.”
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
A Mpalume Elode bhakapilikaneje genego, gubhatengwishe na bhandu bhowe bha ku Yelushalemu.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Bhai, gubhaashemilenje bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila bhowe na bhaajiganya bha Shalia, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Kilishitu shabhelekwe kwei?”
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Gubhaajangwilenje, “Ku Bheteleemu nkowa gwa ku Yudea malinga shiishite jandikwa naka nkulondola jwa a Nnungu kuti,
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.’”
‘Ugwe Bheteleemu uli munkowa gwa ku Yudea, Ugwe nngabha jwanshoko muilambo imanyika ya ku Yudea, Pabha kunngwako apinga koposhela kalongolele, shaabhalongolelanje bhandu bhangu Ishilaeli.’”
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Penepo, a Elode gubhaashemilenje kuntemela bhakwimanyanga ndondwa bhala, gubhaabhushiyenje shakani pulwankoposhelenje lutondwa.
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.”
Kungai gubhaatumilenje ku Bheteleemu bhalinkuti, “Nnjendangane nkabhushishiyanje ukoto ngani jika jwene mwanajo. Mummonangaga kunnugulilanje nkupinga na nne nyende ngantindibhalile.”
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.
Bhakapilikananjeje malobhe ga a mpalume bhakwimanyanga ndondwa bhala gubhajabhwilenje, bhai lutondwa lubhalubhweninji bhalinginji kulikoposhela lyubha lula gulwaalongolelenje, gulupite jima panani paaliji mwana pala.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Bhakalubhonanjeje lutondwa gubhainonyelenje kaje.
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.
Bhai, gubhajinjilenje nnyumba, gubhammweninji mwana jula na akwabhe a Malia, gubhatemingene ulungolungo kuntindibhalila. Kungai gubhagopwelenje ibhajigelenje, gubhampelenje upo, shaabhu na lubhani na manemane.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
A Nnungu bhakwaaleyangaga nng'agamii, bhanaabhujilanje kabhili a Elode, gubhapitilenje mpanda guna kubhuja kunngwabhonji.
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.”
Bhajeninji bhala bhakajabhulanjeje, malaika jwa Bhakulungwa gwabhakoposhele a Yoshepu nng'agamii, gwabhalugulile, “A Elode bhapinga kunnoleya mwanajo bhammulaje, bhai nnjumushe! Muntole mwanajo na akwabhe mmutushilanje ku Mishili, nkatamangane mpaka pushininnugulilanje kabhili.”
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
A Yoshepu bhakajumusheje gubhantolile mwana jula na akwabhe, gubhajabhwilenje nashilo nashilo kubhutushila ku Mishili.
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.”
Gubhatemi kweneko mpaka pubhaawile a Elode. Genega gashinkukoposhela nkupinga gamalile galugwilwe na Bhakulungwa kwa ntenga guka nkulondola jwabho, “Nashinkunshema mwanangu kopoka ku Mishili.”
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.
A Elode bhakamumanyeje kuti bhashitembwa na bhakwimanyanga ndondwa bhala, guyaashimile kaje. Gubhaamulishe bhabhulagwanje bhana bha shileu bhowe pa shilambo sha Bheteleemu na ilambo ya nnyenje jakwe bha yaka ibhili na pai jakwe. Bhashinkutenda nneyo kwa tolelela pubhalugulilwe na bhaashomanga ndondwa bhala malanga gubhalubhweninji lutondwa kulikoposhela lyubha.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Nneyo gakumalilaga malobhe galugwilwe na ankulondola bha a Nnungu a Yelemia bhalinkuti,
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she would not be comforted, because they are no more.”
“Lilobhe lishipilikanika ku Lama, ililo na nguto yaigwinji. A Laeli bhanakwagutilanga ashibhana bhabho, numbe bhangapinga tagwa ntima, pabha bhana bhowe bhawilenje.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Bhakaweje a Elode, malaika jwa Bhakulungwa gwabhakoposhele a Yoshepu nng'agamii ku Mishili kula,
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.”
gwabhalugulile, “Nnjumushe! Muntole mwana na akwabhe, mmujangane ku shilambo sha Ishilaeli, pabha bhapingangaga kummulaga mwanajo bhala, bhawilenje.”
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Bhai, a Yoshepu bhakajumusheje, gubhantolile mwana jula na akwabhe, gubhabhujengene ku shilambo sha Ishilaeli.
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,
Ikabheje a Yoshepu bhakapilikaneje kuti a Lekelao, bhana bhabho a Elode, bhashibha a mpalume bha ku Yudea gubhajogwepe kubhuja. Bhalabho bhakalugulilweje nng'agamii, gubhapite nkowa gwa ku 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.
nikwenda tama ku shijiji sha ku Nashaleti. Nkupinga gamalile malobhe galugwilwe na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, “Shibhashemwe Bhanashaleti.”
