Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
Jesu hamana kuzalwa mwa Betelehema ya Judea mwi nako za simwine Heroda, vakwame valitutite vazwa kuvuzwe zuba civeza mwa Jerusalema,
2 Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
“Wina kuhi yava zalwa simwine wa Majuda? kakuti twavona inkani yakwe kuvuzwe bwe zuva, twakeza kukumu fukamina”.
3 And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Simwine Heroda hazuwa catiya ahulu mane nivantu vamwa Jerusalema vonse.
4 And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
Heroda ca supa ma Purisita vonse ni vañoli va mulao mi cava vuza nati, “Kriste uswanela kuzalilwa kuhi”?
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judæa: for thus it is written through the prophet,
Civamuco kuti Mwa Bethelehema wa Judea, kakuti muvava ñoleli va porofita,
6 And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.
Iwe, Bethelehema, mwinkanda ya Juda, kana umunini kuvayendisi va Juda, mukuzwe muyendisi yete a alise cisi ca Isilaele”.
7 Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared.
Cwale Heroda ca sumpila va litutite kumbali nikuva vuza kuti inkani yavoneka inakonzi luli.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word, that I also may come and worship him.
Cavatuma kwa Bethelehema nikuvata kuti “muyende mukasakisise ce ntokomero muhwile, cimwaka muwana, zemuniizibise name zeniyende nikamu fukamine.”
9 And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Havamana kuzuwa kwa simwine, civaliyendeza mi inkani ivava voni kuvuzwezuva ciyava yenda kuvusu nikuka zimaninina hewulu lye civaka mwa vali kwikere mucice.
10 And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Hava vona inkani civa sanga ahulu cokuhitiriza.
11 And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Habenjila mwinzuvo civa vona mucice nena ni Maria nyina. Civa fukama nikumu lapera. Civavungununa cifumu cavo nikumuha impo ze gauda, ni insense, ni mira.
12 And being warned [of God] in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Ireza cava kalimera muciloto kuti sanzi vaboli kwa Heroda, mi civavola kwi nkanda yavo cenzila ingi.
13 Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
Hava yenda, iñiroi lye Ireza cilye zira Josefa kwi ñonzi mi cilyati, “vuke uhinde mucice niva nyina, mutirire kwa Egepita, muke kale kwateni kusikira hete nini kuwambile, kakuti Heroda mwasake mucice kuti a mwi haye.”
14 And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt;
A o masiku Josefa cavuka nikuhinda muhwire niva nyina niku tilira kwa Egepita.
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 did I call my son.
ava kekali kwa Egepita kusikira he fu lya Heroda. Ici ci be zuzilizi civa wambwa nji Ireza camu porofita, “kuzwa mwa Egepita niva sumpi mwangu wo muswisu.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men.
Cwale Heroda havona kuti vakwame va litutite vavamucengi, cavenga ahulu. avatumini vantu kuti vake haye vahwile vonse veciswisu mwa Bethelehema, mane nimucilalo conse civehaya vahwile ve zilimo zo vere kuzwa hakuzalwa kuvoza hansi, cokuya ce inako yava lakalezi kuzwa havava mu wambilili va kwame va litutite.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Mi cikwalizuziliza civa wambiwa ca muporofita Jeremia,
18 A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not.
“Linzwi li vazuweki mwa Rammah, cililo ni kuvokolola kukando, Rahele ulilira vana vakwe ukana mane nikutontozwa kakuti kavasikwina.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Hafwa Heroda, Ingiloi lya Ireza cilyeza kuvoneka kwa Josefa muciloto mwa Egepita ni kumuta,
20 Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought the young child’s life.
Vuke hinde mwana niva nyina mi uyende kwi nkanda ya Isilaele, kakuti vavali kusaka kwi haya mucice ci vavafwi.”
21 And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Josefa ca vuka ni kuhinda muhwire niva nyina civeza mwinkanda ya Isilaere.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judæa in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned [of God] in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,
kono hazuwa kuti Arkelausi avali ku vusa mwa Judea ha cipula cesi Heroda, ava tiyi kuya kwateni. mi Ireza camukalimera muciloto, cayenda kwi nkanda ya Galileya
23 and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene.
mi cayenda mi cakekala mucivaka cisupwa Nazareta. I ci cibezuzilizi civawambiwa cava Porofita, kuti mwa supwe mu Nazareta.
