Matthew 2
1 Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came into Jerusalem saying;
Yesu kiwukiti mlushi lwa Betirehemu, muliboma lya Yudeya, shipindi Herodi pakaweriti mfalumi. Kamkamu hera pakiwukiti kala, wantu wana malifa ga ntondu wiziti kulawa kwagulawa mshenji kwa kutali wasokiti Yerusalemu,
2 Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and have come to worship Him-
wakosiyiti, “Kakoshi mwana, Mfalumi gwa Wayawudi yakiwukiti? Tuyiwona ntondu yakuwi kulawa kwagulawa mshenji, na twiza kumguwira yomberi.”
3 And Herod the king having heard, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him,
Mfalumi Herodi pakapikaniriti aga, kalisheriti, yomberi pamuhera na woseri yawalikala Yerusalemu.
4 and gathering together all the chief priests and scribes, inquired with them where Christ should be born.
Su kawashemiti watambika wakulu woseri pamuhera na wafunda wa Malagaliru na kuwakosiya, “Kristu Mlopoziya hakiwuki koshi?”
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it has been written by the prophet;
Womberi wamwankula, “Hakiwuki mlushi lwa Betirehemu, muliboma lya Yudeya. Hangu ndo ntambu yawalembiti wambuyi wa Mlungu,
6 And thou, Bethlehem, the land of Judea, art by no means the least among the princes of Judah; for out of thee shall come a leader, who will shepherd my people, Israel.
‘Gwee Betirehemu isi ya Yuda, Gwenga gwa mdidini ndiri mulushi lumanikana lwa Yudeya, Toziya kwa gwenga hakalawili mlongoziya njira, Yakawalongoziya wantu wangu Israeli.’”
7 Then Herod secretly calling the wise men, inquired with them the time of the appearing of the star,
Su Herodi kawashemiti mubada wahenga yawalawiti kwagulawa mshenji, kawakosiyiti shipindi sheni ntondu payiwalawiriti.
8 and sending them to Bethlehem he said; Having gone search diligently for the young child; and when you may find Him, notify me, in order that I, having gone, may worship Him also.
Shakapanu kawagambiriti wagendi Betirehemu pakalonga, “Mgendi mwakaloli weri visoweru vya mwana ayu, pamvimana kala munjegeli visoweru su naneni hang'endi kumguwira.”
9 And hearing the king they departed, and, behold, the star which they saw in the east went before them, until having come, it stood above where the young child was.
Pawampikaniriti kala mfalumi, wamana ntondu walii wagenditi. Su ntondu ilii yawayiwoniti kwagulawa mshenji iwalonguleliti hata igenda kugoloka pahala palii pakaweriti mwana.
10 And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Pawayiwoniti ndondi ilii wanemeleriti nentu.
11 And having come into the house they saw the young child with Mary His mother, and having fallen down they worshiped Him, and opening their treasures they offered Him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Su, wingiriti mnumba, wamwoniti mwana ulii pamuhera na Mariya mawu gwakuwi, wasuntama pasi na wamguwira. Shakapanu wavugula na kumupa mafupu gawu ga zahabu na ubani na manemane.
12 And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another way.
Mlungu kawabeliziiyti mumpota nawamwuyira Herodi, su wawuyiti kuisi kwawu kwa njira yamonga.
13 And they having gone away, behold, the angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying; Having arisen, take the young child and His mother, and fly into Egypt; and be thou there until I may speak to thee; for Herod is about to seek the young child in order to destroy Him.
Pawawukiti kala wahenga walii, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa Mlungu kamlawiriti Yosefu mukulota, kamgambiriti, “Gwimuki! Gumtoli mwana pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi, mtugili Misri. Mulikali kulii mpaka panukugambira, toziya Herodi kafira kumlaga mwana ayu.”
14 And having arisen, he took with him the young child and His mother by night and departed into Egypt;
Su, Yosefu kimukiti, kamtola mwana pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi, kawukiti pashiru kugenda Misri.
15 and was there until the death of Herod: in order that the Word, having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying; Out of Egypt have I called my son.
Kalikaliti kulii mpaka pakahowiti Herodi. Shitwatila ashi shitendikiti su shisoweru shakatakuliti Mtuwa kwa njira ya mbuyi gwa Mlungu shitendeki, “Numshemiti mwana gwangu kulawa Misri.”
16 Then Herod, seeing that he was mocked by the wise men, became exceedingly angry; and having sent forth, he slew all the boys in Bethlehem and in all its boundaries, from two years old and under, according to the time which he inquired with the wise men.
Shakapanu Herodi pakavimaniti wahenga walii yawalawiti kwagulawa mshenji wamzyanga, kakalariti nentu. Kalagaliriti wanonu woseri wapalu mulushi lwa Betirehemu na mumpeku mwakuwi yawawera na umuli wa mivinja miwili na pasi pawu walagwi. Katenditi hangu kulawirana na shilii shakamaniti kulawa kwa wahenga walii wamana ntondu.
17 Then the word having been spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying:
Hangu ndo ntambu ya vitimiyiti visoweru vya umbuyi wa Mlungu kwa njira ya mbuyi gwa Mlungu Yeremiya,
18 A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great mourning; Rachel weeping for her children; and was not willing to be comforted, because they are not.
“Liziwu lipikanika aku Rama, Shiwembu na kudaya kuvuwa. Raheri kankuwalilira wana wakuwi, Na kafira ndiri kunyamala, Toziya woseri wahowa.”
19 And Herod having died, behold, the angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in Egypt in a dream, saying;
Herodi pakahowiti kala, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa Mlungu kamlawiriti Yosefu mundotu kulii Misri,
20 Having arisen, take with you the young child and His mother, and depart into the land of Israel; for those seeking the life of the young child are dead.
kamgambira, “Gwimuki! Gumtoli mwana pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi muwuyi muisi ya Israeli toziya woseri yawafiriti kumlaga mwana, wahowa kala.”
21 And having arisen he took with him the young child and His mother and came into the land of Israel.
Su Yosefu kimuka, kamtola mwana pamuhera na mawu gwa mwana na wawuya Israeli.
22 And having heard that Archelaus reigns over Judea instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to depart thither; and being warned in a dream he departed into the regions of Galilee.
Kumbiti Yosefu pakapikaniriti handa Arikerawu, mwana gwa Herodi kaweriti mfalumi gwa Yudeya pahala pakakolitimlima Herodi tati gwakuwi, katiliti kugenda kulii. Nayomberi, pawambereziyiti mundotu, su kagenditi wega zya Galilaya
23 And having come, he went down into the city called Nazareth, in order that the words spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that He shall be called a Nazarene.
na kalikaliti mlushi lwawalushema Nazareti. Hangu ndo ntambu yavitimiyiti visoweru vyakalongiti mbuyi gwa Mlungu, “Hawamshemi Mnazareti.”
