Matthew 2
1 And so, when Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judah, in the days of king Herod, behold, 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 saying: “Where is he who was born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and we have come to adore him.”
Ba tre ichu Yahudawa wa ba ngrji wu'a he mame? Kie toh Tsitsen ma ni ko Nzan u kie ye chi.
3 Now king Herod, hearing this, 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 gathering together all the leaders of the priests, and the scribes of the people, he consulted with them as to where the Christ would 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 And they said to him: “In Bethlehem of Judea. For so it has been written by the prophet:
U baka hla wu Ni Batakami u Yahudiya a na ki anabawa ba nha,
6 ‘And you, Bethlehem, the land of Judah, are by no means least among the leaders of Judah. For from you shall go forth the ruler who shall guide 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, quietly calling the Magi, diligently learned from them the time when the star appeared to them.
Hirudus ka yo shehuna ba ni yaybi nda mla wo inton wa to tsintsen'a.
8 And sending them into Bethlehem, he said: “Go and diligently ask questions about the boy. And when you have found him, report back to me, so that I, too, may come and adore 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 And when they had heard the king, they went away. And behold, the star that they had seen in the east went before them, even until, arriving, it stood still above 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 Then, seeing the star, they were gladdened by a very great joy.
Da ba to vren baka ngri nda briku.
11 And entering the home, they found the boy with his mother Mary. And so, falling prostrate, they adored him. And opening their treasures, they offered him gifts: gold, 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 received a response in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back by another way to their own region.
U Irji ka ti ba rah ndu bana lahi zu ni Hiridus ngana ba wlu zu nkon ri nka hi gbumba.
13 And after they had gone away, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: “Rise up, and take the boy and his mother, and flee into Egypt. And remain there until I tell you. For it will happen that Herod will seek the boy to destroy 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 And getting up, he took the boy and his mother by night, and withdrew into Egypt.
Wa aye wlu'a a bari kpran vren'a ba yima ni cuu nda tsutsu hi ni Masar;
15 And he remained there, until the death of Herod, in order to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “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 Then Herod, seeing that he had been fooled by the Magi, was very angry. And so he sent to kill all the boys who were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years of age and under, according to the time that he had learned by questioning 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, saying:
Rli kuko u ikpie wa ba hla ni nyu anabi Irimiya kaye ku tsra,
18 “A voice has been heard in Ramah, great weeping and wailing: Rachel crying for her sons. And she was not willing to be consoled, because they were 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 Then, when Herod had passed away, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph in Egypt,
Hiridus ye qu u malaika Baci ka ye ni Isuwa ni rah ni mi Masar, nda hla,
20 saying: “Rise up, and take the boy and his mother, and go into the land of Israel. For those who were seeking the life of the boy have passed away.”
Wu ban kpran vren'a mba yima di hi ni meme Israila: e bi wa bazi wa wu kpran vrenia ba qu ye.
21 And rising up, he took the boy and his mother, and he went into the land of Israel.
A ye wlu nda ba kpranvren'a ni yima nda ye ni mi meme Israila.
22 Then, hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned in sleep, he withdrew into parts 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 arriving, he lived in a city which is called Nazareth, in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets: “For he shall 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.
