Matthew 2
1 Now, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Jesu hamana kuzalwa mwa Betelehema ya Judea mwi nako za simwine Heroda, vakwame valitutite vazwa kuvuzwe zuba civeza mwa Jerusalema,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
“Wina kuhi yava zalwa simwine wa Majuda? kakuti twavona inkani yakwe kuvuzwe bwe zuva, twakeza kukumu fukamina”.
3 When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Simwine Heroda hazuwa catiya ahulu mane nivantu vamwa Jerusalema vonse.
4 And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.
Heroda ca supa ma Purisita vonse ni vañoli va mulao mi cava vuza nati, “Kriste uswanela kuzalilwa kuhi”?
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
Civamuco kuti Mwa Bethelehema wa Judea, kakuti muvava ñoleli va porofita,
6 And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
Iwe, Bethelehema, mwinkanda ya Juda, kana umunini kuvayendisi va Juda, mukuzwe muyendisi yete a alise cisi ca Isilaele”.
7 Then Herod, when he had privately called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Cwale Heroda ca sumpila va litutite kumbali nikuva vuza kuti inkani yavoneka inakonzi luli.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go, and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
Cavatuma kwa Bethelehema nikuvata kuti “muyende mukasakisise ce ntokomero muhwile, cimwaka muwana, zemuniizibise name zeniyende nikamu fukamine.”
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.
Havamana kuzuwa kwa simwine, civaliyendeza mi inkani ivava voni kuvuzwezuva ciyava yenda kuvusu nikuka zimaninina hewulu lye civaka mwa vali kwikere mucice.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Hava vona inkani civa sanga ahulu cokuhitiriza.
11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Habenjila mwinzuvo civa vona mucice nena ni Maria nyina. Civa fukama nikumu lapera. Civavungununa cifumu cavo nikumuha impo ze gauda, ni insense, ni mira.
12 And being warned by God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Ireza cava kalimera muciloto kuti sanzi vaboli kwa Heroda, mi civavola kwi nkanda yavo cenzila ingi.
13 And when they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
Hava yenda, iñiroi lye Ireza cilye zira Josefa kwi ñonzi mi cilyati, “vuke uhinde mucice niva nyina, mutirire kwa Egepita, muke kale kwateni kusikira hete nini kuwambile, kakuti Heroda mwasake mucice kuti a mwi haye.”
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
A o masiku Josefa cavuka nikuhinda muhwire niva nyina niku tilira kwa Egepita.
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken from the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
ava kekali kwa Egepita kusikira he fu lya Heroda. Ici ci be zuzilizi civa wambwa nji Ireza camu porofita, “kuzwa mwa Egepita niva sumpi mwangu wo muswisu.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
Cwale Heroda havona kuti vakwame va litutite vavamucengi, cavenga ahulu. avatumini vantu kuti vake haye vahwile vonse veciswisu mwa Bethelehema, mane nimucilalo conse civehaya vahwile ve zilimo zo vere kuzwa hakuzalwa kuvoza hansi, cokuya ce inako yava lakalezi kuzwa havava mu wambilili va kwame va litutite.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Mi cikwalizuziliza civa wambiwa ca muporofita Jeremia,
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.
“Linzwi li vazuweki mwa Rammah, cililo ni kuvokolola kukando, Rahele ulilira vana vakwe ukana mane nikutontozwa kakuti kavasikwina.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Hafwa Heroda, Ingiloi lya Ireza cilyeza kuvoneka kwa Josefa muciloto mwa Egepita ni kumuta,
20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead who sought the young child's life.
Vuke hinde mwana niva nyina mi uyende kwi nkanda ya Isilaele, kakuti vavali kusaka kwi haya mucice ci vavafwi.”
21 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Josefa ca vuka ni kuhinda muhwire niva nyina civeza mwinkanda ya Isilaere.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
kono hazuwa kuti Arkelausi avali ku vusa mwa Judea ha cipula cesi Heroda, ava tiyi kuya kwateni. mi Ireza camukalimera muciloto, cayenda kwi nkanda ya Galileya
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.
mi cayenda mi cakekala mucivaka cisupwa Nazareta. I ci cibezuzilizi civawambiwa cava Porofita, kuti mwa supwe mu Nazareta.
