Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
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 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.
wakosiyiti, “Kakoshi mwana, Mfalumi gwa Wayawudi yakiwukiti? Tuyiwona ntondu yakuwi kulawa kwagulawa mshenji, na twiza kumguwira yomberi.”
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Mfalumi Herodi pakapikaniriti aga, kalisheriti, yomberi pamuhera na woseri yawalikala Yerusalemu.
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.
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 Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
Womberi wamwankula, “Hakiwuki mlushi lwa Betirehemu, muliboma lya Yudeya. Hangu ndo ntambu yawalembiti wambuyi wa Mlungu,
6 And you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule 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, when he had privately called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Su Herodi kawashemiti mubada wahenga yawalawiti kwagulawa mshenji, kawakosiyiti shipindi sheni ntondu payiwalawiriti.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when all of you have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and 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 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.
Pawampikaniriti kala mfalumi, wamana ntondu walii wagenditi. Su ntondu ilii yawayiwoniti kwagulawa mshenji iwalonguleliti hata igenda kugoloka pahala palii pakaweriti mwana.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Pawayiwoniti ndondi ilii wanemeleriti nentu.
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.
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 being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Mlungu kawabeliziiyti mumpota nawamwuyira Herodi, su wawuyiti kuisi kwawu kwa njira yamonga.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be you there until I bring you word: for Herod will seek the young child 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 When he arose, he took 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: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, 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, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding angry, 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 enquired of 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 was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
Hangu ndo ntambu ya vitimiyiti visoweru vya umbuyi wa Mlungu kwa njira ya mbuyi gwa Mlungu Yeremiya,
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.
“Liziwu lipikanika aku Rama, Shiwembu na kudaya kuvuwa. Raheri kankuwalilira wana wakuwi, Na kafira ndiri kunyamala, Toziya woseri wahowa.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Herodi pakahowiti kala, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa Mlungu kamlawiriti Yosefu mundotu kulii Misri,
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.
kamgambira, “Gwimuki! Gumtoli mwana pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi muwuyi muisi ya Israeli toziya woseri yawafiriti kumlaga mwana, wahowa kala.”
21 And he arose, and took 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 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea 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:
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 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.
na kalikaliti mlushi lwawalushema Nazareti. Hangu ndo ntambu yavitimiyiti visoweru vyakalongiti mbuyi gwa Mlungu, “Hawamshemi Mnazareti.”
