Matthew 2
1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea during the reign of King Herod, wise men came from the east to Jerusalem.
Che Yesu ŵapagwile mmusi wa ku Beselehemu, muchilambo cha ku Yudea, kele katemako che Helode ali mwenye. Napagwa pe, ŵandu ŵaŵaimanyichisye nnope ndondwa kutyochela kungopochelo lyuŵa ŵaiche ku Yelusalemu.
2 “Where is the King of the Jews who has been born?” they asked. “We saw his star in the east and we've come to worship him.”
Ŵausisye ŵandu, “Ana alikwapi mwanache jwapagwile, kuŵa Mwenye jwa Ŵayahudi? Tujiweni ndondwa jakwe pajikopochele kungopochelo lyuŵa ni weleu tuiche kukwapopelela.”
3 When King Herod heard about it, he was very disturbed, and the whole of Jerusalem with him.
Mwenye che Helode paŵapilikene yeleyo ni ŵapwele ntima, ŵelewo pamo ni ŵandu wose ŵa ku Yelusalemu.
4 Herod summoned all the chief priests and religious teachers of the people, and asked them where the Messiah was supposed to be born.
Nipele, ŵaaŵilasile pamo achakulungwa wose ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa, ŵausisye kuti, “Ana Kilisito Jwakuwombola chapagwe kwapi?”
5 “Bethlehem in Judea,” they told him, “for that's what the prophet wrote:
Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Mu musi wa ku Beselehemu, muchilambo cha ku Yudea, pakuŵa yeleyo ni yaitite pakulembekwa ni jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu,
6 ‘Bethlehem in the land of Judea, you are certainly not the least important of Judah's leading cities, for a leader will come from you who will be the shepherd for my people Israel.’”
‘Mmwe Beselehemu chilambo cha ku Yudea, mmwe nganimma jwamwana kose pasikati misi ja chilambo cha ku Yudea, pakuŵa kutyochela kukwenu chakopochele chilongola juchiŵalongosye ŵandu ŵangu, Ŵaisilaeli.’”
7 Then Herod called the wise men and met with them in private and found out from them exactly when the star appeared.
Pelepo, che Helode ŵaaŵilasile pachisyepela ŵanyawo ŵaŵaimanyichisye nnope ndondwa ni ŵausisye katema chi jele ndondwa jo pijakopochele.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, telling them, “When you get there, search for the child. Once you find him let me know so that I can come and worship him too.”
Nipele ŵatumile ku Beselehemu aninkuti, “Njaulanje nkauchilichisye uchenene ngani sya jwele mwanache. Mwamalaga kummona, nkauje kukuusalila, ni une jwakwe nyaule ngaatindiŵalile.”
9 After they had heard what the king had to say they went on their way, and the star which they had seen in the east led them until it stopped right above the place where the child was.
Paŵamalisisye kumpilikanila mwenye, ŵajendelechele ni ulendo wao nipele jele ndondwa jo jiŵajiweni kungopochelo lyuŵa jalongolele mmbujo mwao mpaka pajaiche ni kwima pachanya nyuumba jiŵaliji mwanache.
10 When they saw the star they couldn't contain their happiness!
Paŵajiweni jele ndondwa jo ŵasengwile nnope.
11 They went into the house and saw the child with Mary his mother. They bowed and worshiped him. Then they opened their bags of treasure and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Ŵajinjile nkati ni ŵammweni mwanache jula pamo ni che Maliamu achikulugwe, ŵatindiŵalile ni kunkotamila. Pelepo ni ŵagopwele mmalombo gao ni ŵampele ntuuka, sahabu ni ubani ni mauta gagakuŵilanjikwa manemane.
12 Warned by a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by a different route.
Akunnungu ŵakanyisye mu sagamisi kuti akaujila sooni ku che Helode, nipele ŵausile kumangwao kwa litala line.
13 After they'd left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and told him, “Get up, and take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt. Remain there until I tell you, because Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
Paŵamasile kutyoka achalendo ŵala, katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵankopochele che Yusufu mu sagamisi ni kwasalila, “Njimuche! Munjigale mwanache jo pamo ni achikulugwe ni mmutuchile ku Misili. Ntamanje kweleko mpaka pachinantanjile, pakuŵa che Helode akusaka kummulaga mwanache ju.”
14 So Joseph got up and took the boy and his mother, and left during the night for Egypt.
Nipele che Yusufu ŵajimwiche ni kunjigala mwanache pamo ni achikulugwe, ŵatyosile chilo, ŵajawile ku Misili.
15 They stayed there until Herod's death. This fulfilled what the Lord said through the prophet, “I called my son out of Egypt.”
Ŵatemi kweleko mpaka che Helode paŵajasiche. Yeleyo yatendekwe kuti liloŵe liŵaŵechete Ambuje kwa litala lya jwakulondola jwakwe liŵe isyene, “Nammilasile mwanangu kutyochela ku Misili.”
16 When Herod realized he'd been fooled by the wise men, he got very angry. He sent men to kill all the young boys in Bethlehem and the regions nearby who were two years old and under. This was based on the time frame he'd discovered from the wise men.
Che Helode paŵaimanyi kuti ŵaŵaimanyichisye ndondwa kwa nnope ŵala ŵalambwisye, ŵatumbile nnope. Ŵalajisye ŵandu ŵakwe akaaulaje ŵanache achanandi wose ŵachilume ŵapagwile ku Beselehemu ni mumbali mwakwe ŵaali ni yaka iŵili ni paasi ja pelepo. Ŵatesile yeleyo malinga ni katema paŵaimanyi kutyochela kwa ŵele ŵaŵaimanyichisye nnope ndondwa.
17 In this way Jeremiah's prophecy was fulfilled:
Yeleyo ni igatite kuŵa isyene maloŵe gagaŵechetekwe kwa litala lya che Yelemia juŵaliji jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu achitiji,
18 “The sound of terrible weeping and mourning was heard in Rama, Rachel crying for her children. They are dead, and she can't be comforted.”
“Liloŵe lipikaniche ku Lama ko, kulila kwa kupeteka ni kulila kwa malumbo. Che Laheli akwalilila ŵanache ŵao, ni ngaakusaka kwamyalasya, pakuŵa ŵanache wose ajasiche.”
19 After Herod died the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and told him,
Paŵawile che Helode, katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵankopochele che Yusufu mu sagamisi ku Misili kula,
20 “Get up! Take the child and his mother, and return to the land of Israel, because those who were trying to kill the child are dead.”
ŵansalile, “Njimuche! Munjigale mwanache jo pamo ni achikulugwe, mmuje sooni ku chilambo cha Isilaeli, pakuŵa ŵandu ŵaŵasakaga kummulaga mwanache jo ŵamale kwasika.”
21 So Joseph got up and took the boy and his mother, and returned to the land of Israel.
Nipele che Yusufu ŵajimwiche ni ŵanjigele mwanache pamo ni achikulugwe, ŵausile ku chilambo cha Isilaeli.
22 But Joseph was afraid to go there after he learned that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod as king of Judea. Warned in a dream, Joseph went to the Galilee area
Nambo che Yusufu paŵapilikene kuti che Alikelao mwanache ju che Helode, akamulile umwenye wa atatigwe, ŵajogwepe kwaula ku Yudea. Nombe, paŵamasile kukanyikwa mu sagamisi, ŵajawile mbande sya ku Galilaya,
23 and settled down in Nazareth. This fulfilled what the prophets had said, “He will be called a Nazarene.”
ŵajawile kutama mu musi waukuŵilanjikwa ku Nasaleti. Yele ni iyatite pakuŵa isyene maloŵe gagaŵechetekwe kwa litala lya ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu gagakuti, “Chaŵilanjikwe jwa ku Nasaleti.”
