Matthew 2
1 NOW when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, 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 he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Mpobalashika ku Yelusalemu balikabepusheti “Inga mwana ngotwanyumfweti eshakabe Mwami wa Bayuda wasemenwa kupeyo? Afwe twalubona lunyenyenshi lwatuleshanga nkwabele kalupula kucwe, neco tulesa kumukambilila.”
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Mwami Helode ne bantu bangi balikwikala mu Yelusalemu mpobalanyufweco, balapenga mumyoyo.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
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 unto him, In Bethlehem of Judæa: for thus it is written by the prophet,
Balo balambeti, “Nakasemenwe mumunshi wa Betelehemu wa kucishi ca Yudeya, pakwinga tucinsheti Mabala a Lesa alambangeti,”
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule 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, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Mpwalanyumfweco Helode, walabakwila pambali bantu abo kwakubula bantu nabambi kwinshiba, ne kubepushisha cindi ncobalabona lunyenyenshi ulo.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
Neco Helode walabambileti, “Kamuyani ku Betelehemu mwenga mu mulangaule cenacena mwana uyo, mwakamucana, mukese kuno mukanjishibishe kumusena nkwabele, kwambeti nenjame nkenga kumukambilila.”
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over 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 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Mpobalabona lunyenyenshi lusa balakondwa kwine.
11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
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 being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country 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 were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
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 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
Popelapo Yosefe walanyamuka mashiku ne kumanta mwana ne banyina kuya ku Injipto.
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called 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 was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of 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 was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
Mbyalamba mushinshimi Yelemiya byalakwanilishiwa bya kwambeti,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
“Mibila ilanyumfwikinga mu Lama, yakulila ne kompolola, Lakelo, lalilinga banabendi, lakananga kumumwenesha pacebo ca banabendi balafu.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Pacindi Helode usa mpwalafwa, mungelo wa Mwami walamubonekela Yosefe muciloto kali ku Injipto.
20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.
Walamwambileti, “Nyamuka, manta mwana ne banyina, ubwelele ku Islayeli, pakwinga bonse balikuyanda kushina mwana bafwa.”
21 And he arose, 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 he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judæa in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the 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 dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Balakekala mu munshi wa Nasaleti, kwambeti ncalamba mushinshimi cikwanilishiwe, cakwambeti, “Nakakwiweti, Munasaleti.”
