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 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 who was born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east, and we came 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 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,
Mwami Helode ne bantu bangi balikwikala mu Yelusalemu mpobalanyufweco, balapenga mumyoyo.
4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is 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 to him, “In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:
Balo balambeti, “Nakasemenwe mumunshi wa Betelehemu wa kucishi ca Yudeya, pakwinga tucinsheti Mabala a Lesa alambangeti,”
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.”
“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, having called the magi privately, inquired exactly from them the time of the appearing star,
Mpwalanyumfweco Helode, walabakwila pambali bantu abo kwakubula bantu nabambi kwinshiba, ne kubepushisha cindi ncobalabona lunyenyenshi ulo.
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.”
Neco Helode walabambileti, “Kamuyani ku Betelehemu mwenga mu mulangaule cenacena mwana uyo, mwakamucana, mukese kuno mukanjishibishe kumusena nkwabele, kwambeti nenjame nkenga kumukambilila.”
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.
Panyuma pakwambilwa maswi alico ne mwami, balanyamuka. Lunyenyenshi lusa ndobalabona kucwe, lwalabatangunina ne kuya kwimana mwilu pamusena palikuba mwanoyo.
10 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy,
Mpobalabona lunyenyenshi lusa balakondwa kwine.
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,
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 having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.
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 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.”
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 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
Popelapo Yosefe walanyamuka mashiku ne kumanta mwana ne banyina kuya ku Injipto.
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.”
Walakekalako mpaka mpwalafwa Helode. Ici calenshika kwambeti ncalamba Mwami kupitila mumushinshimi cikwanilishiwe cakwambeti, “Ninkakuwe mwaname kufuma mu Injipto.”
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.
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 Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Mbyalamba mushinshimi Yelemiya byalakwanilishiwa bya kwambeti,
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.”
“Mibila ilanyumfwikinga mu Lama, yakulila ne kompolola, Lakelo, lalilinga banabendi, lakananga kumumwenesha pacebo ca banabendi balafu.”
19 And Herod having died, behold, a messenger of the LORD appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Pacindi Helode usa mpwalafwa, mungelo wa Mwami walamubonekela Yosefe muciloto kali ku Injipto.
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.”
Walamwambileti, “Nyamuka, manta mwana ne banyina, ubwelele ku Islayeli, pakwinga bonse balikuyanda kushina mwana bafwa.”
21 And he, having risen, took the Child and His mother, and came to the land of Israel,
Yosefe walapunduka ne kumanta mwana ne banyina ne kubwelela ku Islayeli.
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,
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 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.”
Balakekala mu munshi wa Nasaleti, kwambeti ncalamba mushinshimi cikwanilishiwe, cakwambeti, “Nakakwiweti, Munasaleti.”
