Matthew 2
1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,
Da ba ngrji Yesu ni Betalahim u Yahudiya ni ntton wu chu Fero, indi bi toh bari baa ye rji ni Urushalima,
2 asking, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”
Ba tre ichu Yahudawa wa ba ngrji wu'a he mame? Kie toh Tsitsen ma ni ko Nzan u kie ye chi.
3 When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
Niwo tre yi, Fero ka katie gbododo (wieme) me ni indi bi Urushalima wawu mba wu.
4 And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.
Da ayo firist bi ni nkon ni bi nha u ndi mba a mye ba ka bandi toh wrji wa ba ngrji Kristi a?
5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
U baka hla wu Ni Batakami u Yahudiya a na ki anabawa ba nha,
6 ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of My people Israel.’”
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.
7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had appeared.
Hirudus ka yo shehuna ba ni yaybi nda mla wo inton wa to tsintsen'a.
8 And sending them to Bethlehem, he said: “Go and search carefully for the Child, and when you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship Him.”
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.
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stood over the place where the Child was.
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.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.
Da ba to vren baka ngri nda briku.
11 On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
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.
12 And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.
U Irji ka ti ba rah ndu bana lahi zu ni Hiridus ngana ba wlu zu nkon ri nka hi gbumba.
13 When the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”
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.
14 So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
Wa aye wlu'a a bari kpran vren'a ba yima ni cuu nda tsutsu hi ni Masar;
15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
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.
16 When Herod saw that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was filled with rage. Sending orders, he put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, according to the time he had learned from the Magi.
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.
17 Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
Rli kuko u ikpie wa ba hla ni nyu anabi Irimiya kaye ku tsra,
18 “A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
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
19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.
Hiridus ye qu u malaika Baci ka ye ni Isuwa ni rah ni mi Masar, nda hla,
20 “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, for those seeking the Child’s life are now dead.”
Wu ban kpran vren'a mba yima di hi ni meme Israila: e bi wa bazi wa wu kpran vrenia ba qu ye.
21 So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and went to the land of Israel.
A ye wlu nda ba kpranvren'a ni yima nda ye ni mi meme Israila.
22 But when he learned that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee,
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.
23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
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.
