Matthew 2
1 And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi from the east came to Jerusalem,
Yesu abotamaki na Beteleemi ya Yuda, wana Erode azalaki mokonzi. Na tango yango, bato ya mayele oyo bawutaki na este bayaki na Yelusalemi
2 saying, “Where is He who was born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east, and we came to worship Him.”
mpe batunaki: « Mokonzi ya Bayuda oyo abotami azali wapi? Tomonaki monzoto na Ye kobima, yango wana toyei kogumbamela Ye. »
3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,
Tango mokonzi Erode ayokaki bongo, motema na ye etungisamaki makasi elongo na Yelusalemi mobimba.
4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.
Abengaki mpe asangisaki bakonzi nyonso ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe balakisi ya Mobeko; atunaki bango: — Klisto asengeli kobotama wapi?
5 And they said to him, “In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:
Bazongiselaki ye: — Na Beteleemi ya Yuda, pamba te mosakoli akoma:
6 And you, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, you are by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of you will come One leading, who will feed My people Israel.”
« Bongo yo, Beteleemi, kati na mabele ya Yuda, ozali solo moke te kati na bingumba ya Yuda, pamba te Mokonzi oyo, lokola Mobateli bibwele, akotambolisa bato na Ngai, Isalaele, akobima nde kati na yo. »
7 Then Herod, having called the magi privately, inquired exactly from them the time of the appearing star,
Bongo, Erode abengaki bato ya mayele na nkuku mpe alukaki koyeba epai na bango tango nini monzoto ebimaki.
8 and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, “Having gone—inquire exactly for the Child, and whenever you may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may worship Him.”
Boye, atindaki bango na Beteleemi; alobaki: — Bokende koluka malamu mwana yango, na Beteleemi; tango kaka bokomona ye, boyebisa ngai mpo ete ngai mpe nakende kogumbamela ye.
9 And they, having heard the king, departed, and behold, the star, that they saw in the east, went before them, until, having come, it stood over where the Child was.
Sima na bango koyoka maloba ya mokonzi, bakobaki nzela na bango. Bamonaki lisusu monzoto oyo ewutaki kobima na este: monzoto yango ezalaki kotambola liboso na bango kino ekendeki kotelema na likolo ya esika oyo Mwana azalaki.
10 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy,
Tango kaka bamonaki lisusu monzoto yango, batondisamaki na esengo.
11 and having come into the house, they found the Child with His mother Mary, and having fallen down they worshiped Him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to Him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh,
Bakomaki na ndako yango, bamonaki Mwana elongo na Mari, mama na Ye, mpe bagumbamelaki Ye; bongo bafungolaki mabenga na bango mpe babonzelaki Ye biloko oyo lokola bakado: wolo, malasi ya ansa mpe mire.
12 and having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
Sima na yango, Nzambe akebisaki bango kati na ndoto ete bazonga lisusu te epai ya Erode. Boye, bazongaki na mboka na bango na nzela mosusu.
13 And on their having withdrawn, behold, a messenger of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, “Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and flee to Egypt, and be there until I may speak to you, for Herod is about to seek the Child to destroy Him.”
Sima na bato ya mayele kokende, anjelu na Nkolo abimelaki Jozefi kati na ndoto mpe alobaki na ye: « Telema, kamata Mwana elongo na mama na Ye; bokima na Ejipito mpe bowumela kuna kino tango nakoyebisa yo lisusu ete bozonga, pamba te Erode akoluka koboma Mwana. »
14 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
Jozefi atelemaki, azwaki Mwana elongo na mama na Ye, kaka na butu wana, mpe akimaki na Ejipito
15 and he was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
epai wapi awumelaki kino na kufa ya Erode, mpo ete makambo oyo Nkolo alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli ekokisama: « Wuta na Ejipito, nabengaki mwana na Ngai. »
16 Then Herod, having seen that he was deceived by the magi, was very angry, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from the magi.
Tango Erode asosolaki ete bato ya mayele bakosi ye, atombokaki makasi mpe apesaki mitindo ete baboma bana mike nyonso ya mibali ya mibu mibale kino na se, oyo bazalaki na Beteleemi mpe na zingazinga na yango, kolanda tango oyo bato ya mayele bayebisaki ye na tina na eleko oyo monzoto ebimaki.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Boye nde ekokisamaki makambo oyo mosakoli Jeremi alobaki:
18 “A voice in Ramah was heard—weeping and much mourning—Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she would not be comforted because they are not.”
« Makelele moko eyokani na Rama, makelele ya kolela makasi mpe ya matanga: Rasheli azali kolela bana na ye; aboyi kobondisama, pamba te bazali lisusu na bomoi te. »
19 And Herod having died, behold, a messenger of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Sima na kufa ya Erode, anjelu na Nkolo abimelaki Jozefi kati na ndoto, kuna na Ejipito,
20 saying, “Having risen, take the Child and His mother, and be going to the land of Israel, for they have died—those seeking the life of the Child.”
mpe alobaki na ye: « Telema, kamata Mwana elongo na mama na Ye, mpe zonga kati na mokili ya Isalaele, pamba te bato oyo bazalaki koluka koboma Mwana basili kokufa. »
21 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother, and came to the land of Israel,
Jozefi atelemaki, azwaki Mwana elongo na mama na Ye mpe akendeki na mokili ya Isalaele.
22 and having heard that Archelaus reigns over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to the parts of Galilee,
Kasi tango ayokaki ete Arikelawusi akitanaki na tata na ye, Erode, na bokonzi kati na Yuda, abangaki kokende kuna; kasi Nzambe akebisaki Jozefi kati na ndoto, mpe Jozefi akendeki kati na etuka ya Galile
23 and coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the Prophets, that “He will be called a Nazarene.”
epai wapi avandaki kati na engumba Nazareti, mpo ete makambo oyo basakoli balobaki ekokisama: « Bakobenga Ye moto ya Nazareti. »
