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,
Yesu ku Betelemi kabutukila, divula didi mu tsi yi Yuda, mu thangu ntinu Elode. Yesu bu kabutuka, banduenga, batu beti longuka zimbuetete batotukila ku ndambu Esite, bayiza totuka ku Yeluzalemi, bayuvula:
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.”
—A kuevi kuidi Ntinu Bayuda, wowo butukidi e? Bila tumueni mbueteteꞌandi thama ku ndambu Esite, diawu tuizidi muingi tumbuongimina.
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Ntinu Elode bu kawa mambu momo, mayindu mandi mayama mu diambu di kiuvu kioki bayuvula, niandi ayi basi Yeluzalemi baba ku tsi mayindu.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
Elode wutumisa bapfumu boso ba banganga zi Nzambi ayi minlongi mi Mina, wuba yuvula kani kuevi Mesiya kela butukila.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Bamvutudila: —Wela butukila ku Betelemi didi mu tsi yi Yuda bila mbikudi wusonika:
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.’”
A ngeyo Betelemi, divula didi mu tsi Yuda, Kadi sia ti ngeyo lutidi keva mu minyadi mioso mi Yuda, bila mu ngeyo muela totukila Pfumu; niandi wela ba nsungi wu batu bama, Iseli.
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Buna Elode wutumisa mu kitsueki banduenga ayi wuba yuvula thangu mbi yitotuka mbuetete.
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.”
Bosi wuba tuma ku Betelemi, ayi wuba kamba: —Yendanu kuna ayi lutomba buzabila bumboti mambu madi mu muana beni. Beno kummona buna luiza khambi muingi mamvama ndienda mbuongimina.
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.
Buna bamana wa ntinu, bayenda kuawu. Buela zimbukila mbuetete yoyi batuama mona ku Esite yi buela bamonikina, yawu yiba tuaminina ku ntuala mu nzila nate yiyenda telama va yilu buangu kiba muana.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Khini yiwombo yiba yawu buna bamona mbuetete.
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.
Bakota muna nzo, bamona muana ayi ngudi andi Maliya, batumbu fukama vaba muana, beka ku mbuongimina. Bosi banianguna zitsaku zi banata, muba makaba ma bavana muana: nolo, ansa Ayi mile.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Nzambi bu kaba lubula mu ndozi ti babika vutukila kuidi Elode, mu nzila yinkaka bavutukila ku tsi awu.
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.”
Buna bayenda, mbasi yimosi yi Pfumu yimonikina Zozefi mu ndozi, yinkamba: —Telama wubonga muana ayi ngudi andi, tinina ku Ezipiti. Vuanda kuna nate ndiela kukamba ti thangu yivutukila yifueni, bila Ntinu Elode wela tomba vonda muana!
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Muna builu beni Zozefi wutelama, wubonga muana ayi ngudi andi, wuyenda tinina ku Ezipiti.
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.”
Wukala kuna nate Ntinu Elode kafua mu diambu di dedikisa mambu mayoluka Pfumu mu munu wu mbikudi, bu kabikula ti: Nditela muanꞌama katotuka ku Ezipiti!
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.
Elode bu kazaba banduenga bamvuna, wufuema ngolo. Diawu katumina bavonda, ku Betelemi ayi mu mala mafikamini, bana boso bababakala badi mimvu miodi nate kuna tsi, landila thangu yiba nkamba kuidi batu beti longuka zimbuetete.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Mu nzila yoyo mambu mabikula mbikudi Yelemi madedakana:
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.”
Mbembo yiwakana ku Lama bidilu ayi maniongo mawombo; Lakheli wulembo didi bana bandi; kakadi zola bombo bila bana beni basiedi ko.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Elode bu kafua, mbasi yi Pfumu yimonikina Zozefi mu ndozi ku Ezipiti,
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.”
ayi yinkamba: —Telama wubonga muana ayi ngudi andi, vutuka yawu ku Iseli, bila batu bobo babedi tombanga mu vonda muana bafuidi.
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Zozefi wutelama, wubonga muana ayi ngudi andi, wuvutuka ku Iseli.
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,
Vayi Zozefi, bu kawa ti Alikelawusi muana Elode, wuyadila Yuda va buangu ki dise diandi Elode, wumona tsisi mu buela vutuka kuna. Bosi mu ndozi yinkaka Nzambi wunlubula ti kenda mu zunga ki Ngalili.
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.
Buna wuvuanda mu divula diba tedolongo Nazaleti muingi mambu ma mimbikudi madedakana: bela kuntedilanga muisi Nazaleti.
