Matthew 2
1 Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Yesu walasemenwa mu munshi wa Betelehemu mucimpansha ca Yudeya pacindi Helode mpwalikuba mwami mu cishico. Ku Yelusalemu kwalesa bantu baiya shakwenda kwa nyenyenshi balafumina kucishi ca kucwe.
2 Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.
Mpobalashika ku Yelusalemu balikabepusheti “Inga mwana ngotwanyumfweti eshakabe Mwami wa Bayuda wasemenwa kupeyo? Afwe twalubona lunyenyenshi lwatuleshanga nkwabele kalupula kucwe, neco tulesa kumukambilila.”
3 And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Mwami Helode ne bantu bangi balikwikala mu Yelusalemu mpobalanyufweco, balapenga mumyoyo.
4 And he got together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, questioning them as to where the birth-place of the Christ would be.
Neco, Helode walabunganya mwabwangu bwangu, beshimilumbo bamakulene ne beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose ne kubepusheti, “Anu Mupulushi Walaiwa ne Lesa nakasemenwe kupeyo ayi?”
5 And they said to him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea; for so it is said in the writings of the prophet,
Balo balambeti, “Nakasemenwe mumunshi wa Betelehemu wa kucishi ca Yudeya, pakwinga tucinsheti Mabala a Lesa alambangeti,”
6 You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel.
“Obe Betelehemu wa mucishi ca Yudeya, ntobe munshi ung'ana sobwe pakati pa minshi naimbi ya Bayuda. Pakwinga mutangunishi eshakembele Baisilayeli bantu ba Lesa nakakafumine kuli njobe.”
7 Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.
Mpwalanyumfweco Helode, walabakwila pambali bantu abo kwakubula bantu nabambi kwinshiba, ne kubepushisha cindi ncobalabona lunyenyenshi ulo.
8 And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.
Neco Helode walabambileti, “Kamuyani ku Betelehemu mwenga mu mulangaule cenacena mwana uyo, mwakamucana, mukese kuno mukanjishibishe kumusena nkwabele, kwambeti nenjame nkenga kumukambilila.”
9 And after hearing the king, they went on their way; and the star which they saw in the east went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the young child was.
Panyuma pakwambilwa maswi alico ne mwami, balanyamuka. Lunyenyenshi lusa ndobalabona kucwe, lwalabatangunina ne kuya kwimana mwilu pamusena palikuba mwanoyo.
10 And when they saw the star they were full of joy.
Mpobalabona lunyenyenshi lusa balakondwa kwine.
11 And they came into the house, and saw the young child with Mary, his mother; and falling down on their faces they gave him worship; and from their store they gave him offerings of gold, perfume, and spices.
Popelapo balengila mu ng'anda, balabona mwanoyo kali ne Maliya banyina, balasuntama ne kumukambilila. Balasungulula bifunta ne kupulisha bipo bya golide, lubani ne mafuta anunkila a mule ne kupa mwana.
12 And it was made clear to them by God in a dream that they were not to go back to Herod; so they went into their country by another way.
Nomba Lesa walabacenjesha aba bantu bayiya kwenda kwa nyenyenshi muciloto kwambeti kabatabwelela kuli Helode. Neco mpobali kubwelela ku cishi cabo, balapitila nshila imbi.
13 And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.
Mpobalafumako, mungelo wa Mwami walabonekela kuli Yosefe muciloto, ne kumwambileti, “Nyamuka, manta mwana ne banyina, ufwambile ku Injipto, uye wikale kopeloko mpaka cindi ncoti nkakwambile, pakwinga Helode nalangaulenga mwana uyu kwambeti amushine.”
14 So he took the young child and his mother by night, and went into Egypt;
Popelapo Yosefe walanyamuka mashiku ne kumanta mwana ne banyina kuya ku Injipto.
15 And was there till the death of Herod; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.
Walakekalako mpaka mpwalafwa Helode. Ici calenshika kwambeti ncalamba Mwami kupitila mumushinshimi cikwanilishiwe cakwambeti, “Ninkakuwe mwaname kufuma mu Injipto.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.
Helode mpwaleshibeti, basa bantu baiya kwenda kwa nyenyenshi bamubona buluya walakalala, walatuma bantu ku Betelehemu, ne kuminshi yonse ya bambana, kwambeti benga bashine bana batuloba bonse kutatikila pali bakute byaka bibili kwisa panshi. Byaka ibi, balabelengela kufuma pacindi ncalanyumfwa kuli bantu basa baiya kwenda kwa nyenyenshi.
17 Then the word of Jeremiah the prophet came true,
Mbyalamba mushinshimi Yelemiya byalakwanilishiwa bya kwambeti,
18 In Ramah there was a sound of weeping and great sorrow, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted for their loss.
“Mibila ilanyumfwikinga mu Lama, yakulila ne kompolola, Lakelo, lalilinga banabendi, lakananga kumumwenesha pacebo ca banabendi balafu.”
19 But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord came in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Pacindi Helode usa mpwalafwa, mungelo wa Mwami walamubonekela Yosefe muciloto kali ku Injipto.
20 Saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: because they who were attempting to take the young child's life are dead.
Walamwambileti, “Nyamuka, manta mwana ne banyina, ubwelele ku Islayeli, pakwinga bonse balikuyanda kushina mwana bafwa.”
21 And he got up, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Yosefe walapunduka ne kumanta mwana ne banyina ne kubwelela ku Islayeli.
22 But when it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts of Galilee.
Nomba mpwalanyumfwa kwambeti, Alikelawo, mwanendi Helode, ewapyana baishi kuba mwami waku Yudeya, walatina kuyako. Neco kayi Lesa walamucenjesha Yosefe muciloto, walaya mucimpansha ca Galileya.
23 And he came and was living in a town named Nazareth: so that the word of the prophets might come true, He will be named a Nazarene.
Balakekala mu munshi wa Nasaleti, kwambeti ncalamba mushinshimi cikwanilishiwe, cakwambeti, “Nakakwiweti, Munasaleti.”
