< 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,
A Yeshu kubhabhelekwele ku Bheteleemu, nkowa gwa ku Yudea, mobha ga a Elode pubhaliji a mpalume, a Yeshu bhakabhelekweje, bhakwiimanyanga ndondwa gubhaikengenenje ku Yelushalemu kopoka kulikoposhela lyubha,
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.”
gubhabhushiyenje, “Kwali kwei mwana abhelekwe, mpalume jwa Bhayaudi? Twashinkulubhona lutondwa lwakwe lulikoposhela, putwaliji kulikoposhela lyubha na uwe tushikwiya kuntindibhalila.”
3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,
A Mpalume Elode bhakapilikaneje genego, gubhatengwishe na bhandu bhowe bha ku Yelushalemu.
4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.
Bhai, gubhaashemilenje bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila bhowe na bhaajiganya bha Shalia, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Kilishitu shabhelekwe kwei?”
5 And they said to him, “In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:
Gubhaajangwilenje, “Ku Bheteleemu nkowa gwa ku Yudea malinga shiishite jandikwa naka nkulondola jwa a Nnungu kuti,
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.”
‘Ugwe Bheteleemu uli munkowa gwa ku Yudea, Ugwe nngabha jwanshoko muilambo imanyika ya ku Yudea, Pabha kunngwako apinga koposhela kalongolele, shaabhalongolelanje bhandu bhangu Ishilaeli.’”
7 Then Herod, having called the magi privately, inquired exactly from them the time of the appearing star,
Penepo, a Elode gubhaashemilenje kuntemela bhakwimanyanga ndondwa bhala, gubhaabhushiyenje shakani pulwankoposhelenje lutondwa.
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.”
Kungai gubhaatumilenje ku Bheteleemu bhalinkuti, “Nnjendangane nkabhushishiyanje ukoto ngani jika jwene mwanajo. Mummonangaga kunnugulilanje nkupinga na nne nyende ngantindibhalile.”
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.
Bhakapilikananjeje malobhe ga a mpalume bhakwimanyanga ndondwa bhala gubhajabhwilenje, bhai lutondwa lubhalubhweninji bhalinginji kulikoposhela lyubha lula gulwaalongolelenje, gulupite jima panani paaliji mwana pala.
10 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy,
Bhakalubhonanjeje lutondwa gubhainonyelenje kaje.
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,
Bhai, gubhajinjilenje nnyumba, gubhammweninji mwana jula na akwabhe a Malia, gubhatemingene ulungolungo kuntindibhalila. Kungai gubhagopwelenje ibhajigelenje, gubhampelenje upo, shaabhu na lubhani na manemane.
12 and having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
A Nnungu bhakwaaleyangaga nng'agamii, bhanaabhujilanje kabhili a Elode, gubhapitilenje mpanda guna kubhuja kunngwabhonji.
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.”
Bhajeninji bhala bhakajabhulanjeje, malaika jwa Bhakulungwa gwabhakoposhele a Yoshepu nng'agamii, gwabhalugulile, “A Elode bhapinga kunnoleya mwanajo bhammulaje, bhai nnjumushe! Muntole mwanajo na akwabhe mmutushilanje ku Mishili, nkatamangane mpaka pushininnugulilanje kabhili.”
14 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
A Yoshepu bhakajumusheje gubhantolile mwana jula na akwabhe, gubhajabhwilenje nashilo nashilo kubhutushila ku Mishili.
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.”
Gubhatemi kweneko mpaka pubhaawile a Elode. Genega gashinkukoposhela nkupinga gamalile galugwilwe na Bhakulungwa kwa ntenga guka nkulondola jwabho, “Nashinkunshema mwanangu kopoka ku Mishili.”
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.
A Elode bhakamumanyeje kuti bhashitembwa na bhakwimanyanga ndondwa bhala, guyaashimile kaje. Gubhaamulishe bhabhulagwanje bhana bha shileu bhowe pa shilambo sha Bheteleemu na ilambo ya nnyenje jakwe bha yaka ibhili na pai jakwe. Bhashinkutenda nneyo kwa tolelela pubhalugulilwe na bhaashomanga ndondwa bhala malanga gubhalubhweninji lutondwa kulikoposhela lyubha.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Nneyo gakumalilaga malobhe galugwilwe na ankulondola bha a Nnungu a Yelemia bhalinkuti,
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.”
“Lilobhe lishipilikanika ku Lama, ililo na nguto yaigwinji. A Laeli bhanakwagutilanga ashibhana bhabho, numbe bhangapinga tagwa ntima, pabha bhana bhowe bhawilenje.”
19 And Herod having died, behold, a messenger of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Bhakaweje a Elode, malaika jwa Bhakulungwa gwabhakoposhele a Yoshepu nng'agamii ku Mishili kula,
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.”
gwabhalugulile, “Nnjumushe! Muntole mwana na akwabhe, mmujangane ku shilambo sha Ishilaeli, pabha bhapingangaga kummulaga mwanajo bhala, bhawilenje.”
21 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother, and came to the land of Israel,
Bhai, a Yoshepu bhakajumusheje, gubhantolile mwana jula na akwabhe, gubhabhujengene ku shilambo sha Ishilaeli.
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,
Ikabheje a Yoshepu bhakapilikaneje kuti a Lekelao, bhana bhabho a Elode, bhashibha a mpalume bha ku Yudea gubhajogwepe kubhuja. Bhalabho bhakalugulilweje nng'agamii, gubhapite nkowa gwa ku Galilaya,
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.”
nikwenda tama ku shijiji sha ku Nashaleti. Nkupinga gamalile malobhe galugwilwe na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, “Shibhashemwe Bhanashaleti.”
