Matthew 2
1 Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in [the] days of Herod the king behold Magi from [the] east arrived in Jerusalem
Zvino Jesu wakati aberekwa muBhetirehemu reJudhiya, pamazuva aHerodhe mambo, tarira, kwakauya vachenjeri vachibva kumabvazuva kuJerusarema,
2 saying; Where is the [One] having been born King of the Jews? We saw for His star in the east and are come to worship Him.
vachiti: Uripi iye wakazvarwa Mambo weVaJudha? Nokuti taona nyeredzi yake kumabvazuva, tauya kuzomunamata.
3 Having heard then King Herod he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him,
Zvino Herodhe mambo wakati anzwa, akashushikana, neJerusarema rese naye.
4 And having gathered together all the chief priests and scribes of the people he was inquiring of them where the Christ is born.
Zvino wakati aunganidza vapristi vakuru vese nevanyori vevanhu, akabvunza kwavari kuti Kristu uchazvarirwa kupi.
5 And they said to him; In Bethlehem of Judea. thus for it has been written through the prophet:
Zvino vakati kwaari: MuBhetirehemu reJudhiya; nokuti zvakanyorwa saizvozvi nemuporofita zvichinzi:
6 And you yourself Bethlehem land of Judah, by no means least are among the rulers of Judah; out of you for will go forth [One] leading who will shepherd the people of Mine Israel.’
Newe Bhetirehemu nyika yaJudha, hausi mudikisa kuvatongi vaJudha; nokuti kwauri kuchabuda mutungamiriri, achafudza vanhu vangu Israeri.
7 Then Herod secretly having called the Magi inquired exactly of them the time of the appearing star,
Zvino Herodhe, wakati adana vachenjeri muchivande, akabvunzisisa kwavari nguva yakaonekwa nyeredzi.
8 And having sent them to Bethlehem he said; Having gone do search carefully for the Child. when then You may have found [Him], do bring word back to me so that I myself also I myself also having come may worship Him.
Akavatuma kuBhetirehemu, akati: Endai munobvunzisisa zvemucheche; kana mamuwana mundisume, kuti ini ndiuyewo ndimunamate.
9 And having heard the king they went away. and behold the star which they saw in the east was going before them until having arrived (it was stood *N(k)O*) over where was the Child.
Vakati vanzwa mambo, vakabva; zvino tarira, nyeredzi yavakaona kumabvazuva yakavatungamirira, kusvikira yasvika ikamira pamusoro pepakange pane mucheche.
10 Having seen now the star they rejoiced [with] joy great exceedingly,
Vakati vaona nyeredzi vakafara nemufaro mukuru kwazvo.
11 And having come into the house (they saw *NK(o)*) the Child with Mary the mother of Him, and having fallen down they worshiped Him, and having opened the treasures of them they offered to Him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Vakati vapinda mumba, vakaona mucheche naMaria mai vake, vakawira pasi vakamunamata; zvino vakati vazarura fuma yavo, vakamupemberera nezvipo, goridhe, nezvipfungaidzo zvinonhuhwira, nemura.
12 And having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another route they withdrew into the country of them.
Vakati vanyeverwa naMwari muchiroto, kuti varege kudzokera kuna Herodhe, vakabva vakaenda kunyika yavo neimwe nzira.
13 When were withdrawing then they behold an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph saying; Having arisen do take the Child and the mother of Him and do flee into Egypt and do remain there until when I may tell you; is about for Herod is to seek the Child to destroy Him.
Vakati vaenda, tarira, mutumwa waIshe anoonekwa kuna Josefa muchiroto, achiti: Muka utore mucheche namai vake, utizire kuEgipita, uveko kusvikira ndichikuudza; nokuti Herodhe achatsvaka mucheche kuti amuparadze.
14 And having arisen he took the Child and the mother of Him by night and withdrew into Egypt,
Zvino amuka wakatora mucheche namai vake usiku, akabva akaenda kuEgipita,
15 and he was remaining there until the death of Herod, so that it may be fulfilled that having been spoken by (the *k*) Lord through the prophet saying; Out of Egypt I called the Son of mine.
uye wakavako kusvikira pakufa kwaHerodhe; kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIshe nemuporofita, achiti: Ndakadana mwanakomana wangu abude muEgipita.
16 Then Herod having seen that he had been outwitted by the Magi was enraged intensely, and having sent forth he executed all the boys that [were] in Bethlehem and in all the vicinity of it from two years old and under according to the time which he had ascertained from the Magi.
Zvino Herodhe, wakati aona kuti anyengerwa nevachenjeri, akatsamwa zvikuru, akatuma, akauraya vana vese vaiva muBhetirehemu nemumigumo yaro yese, kubvira pamakore maviri neari pasi, zvichienderana nenguva yaakange abvunzisisa kuvachenjeri.
17 Then was fulfilled that having been spoken (through *N(k)O*) Jeremiah the prophet saying;
Zvino zvakazadziswa zvakarehwa naJeremiya muporofita achiti:
18 A voice in Ramah was heard, (lamentation and *K*) weeping and mourning great, Rachel weeping [for] the children of her, and not was willing to be comforted because no more they are.
MuRama rakanzwika inzwi, kuungudza nekuchema nekurira kukuru, Rakeri achichema vana vake asingadi kunyaradzwa, nokuti havachipo.
19 When was dying now Herod behold an angel of [the] Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
Asi Herodhe wakati afa, tarira, mutumwa waIshe wakaonekwa muchiroto kuna Josefa muEgipita,
20 saying; Having arisen do take the Child and the mother of Him and do go into [the] land of Israel; they have died for those seeking the life of the Child.
achiti: Muka, utore mucheche namai vake, uende kunyika yaIsraeri; nokuti vakafa avo vaitsvaka mweya wemucheche.
21 And having arisen he took the Child and the mother of Him and (entered *N(k)O*) into [the] land of Israel.
Akasimuka ndokutora mucheche namai vake akasvika kunyika yaIsraeri.
22 Having heard now that Archelaus rules (upon *ko*) Judea in place of the father of him Herod he was afraid there to go. having been divinely warned now in a dream he withdrew into the district of Galilee,
Asi wakati achinzwa kuti Arikerawo anotonga muJudhiya panzvimbo yababa vake Herodhe, akatya kuendako; asi wakati anyeverwa naMwari muchiroto, akabva akaenda kumativi eGarirea.
23 and having come he dwelt in a city being named Nazareth, so that it may be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophets that A Nazarene He will be called.
Akasvika akagara muguta rinonzi Nazareta; kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa nevaporofita, kuti: Achanzi muNazareta.
