Matthew 2
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
U Yesu avile aholiwe mu Bethelehemu ya vayuta mufigono fya Nkuludeva u Herode, avanu avamanyi va nondwe ukhuhuma khuvuhumo wa linchuva vakhafikha khu Yerusalemu vakhata,
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
“Aleindakhu umwene uviaholiwe unkuludeva vava yuta? Tuvye tuyeiwene einondwe ya mwene khuvuhumo wa linchuva nufwe pu twinchile khukhumwimikha.”
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Useikhi ugu unkuludeva u Helode aviile apulikhe akhakalala, na yei Yelusalemu yooni paninie na yumwene.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
U Helode akhavalundania avavaha vava tekhenchi vooni na visimbi va vanu, pu akhavuncha, “U Klisiti ayoiholiwa ndakhu?”
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Vakhambula, “Mu Bethelehemu yava yuta, ulwa khuva vuyisimbiwe nu nyamalago.
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
Nuve Bethelehemu, mukhilunga eikya va yuta suleideebe muvalongonchi vava Yuta, pakhuva ukhuhuma khulyuve ikhwincha umbaha uviyakhiva ikhuvadeemaga avanu vango Israeli.”
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Pu leino u Helode akhaviilanga avamanyi va nondwe khuvutitu akhavavuncha gyu seikhi guleikhu ugu einondwe yeivile yeivonikhe.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
Akhavasuha khu Bethelehemu, akhata, “Mlutage einjila eiyie mkhavunche fincho umwana uvyaholiwe. Pu mungambone mwinche mumbule ukhuta nayune puninche neimwimeekhe.”
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
Puvavile vapuleihinche unkuludeva puva khava vanu va khuluta, pu einondwe yeila uyuvakhayiwene khuvuhumo wa linchuva yeikhavalongolela impakha upu ya eimile pala upu umwana uvyaholiwe upu ale.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Useikhi uguvayiewene einondwe va howikhe fincho.
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Vakhingeila munyumba puvakhambona umwana nu mamaye u Mariamu. Vakhamwinamila nukhumwimekha, vakhavopola ifipakho fyavo vakhambonola uluvonolo ulwa lutalama, uvufumba ni mono inonu.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
U Nguluve akhavavula munjosi valekhe ukhukilivukha khwa Helode, puvakhahega ukhuluta khumyavoyo puvakhagenda einjila eiyeinge.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
Puva viile vahegile, usuhwa vantwa akhambonekhela u Yosefu munjosi nu khuta, “Wime, utole umwana nu mamaye pumunyileile khu Misiri. Muve khukhukhwa impakha yakhiva nikhuvavula ulwa khuva u Helode ilonda ukhwangamencha umwana.
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Ikilo eiyo pu u Yosefu akhasisimukha nukhutola umwana nu mamaye pu vakhanyileila khu Misili.
15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
Atamile ukhu impakha u Helode avile afwile. Eiyie puyiekhavombekha nduvu uNtwa anchovile ukhugendela khu nyamalago, “Ukhuhuma khu Misili ni mwilangile u manango.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.
Pu u Helode aviile awene akalaliwe na vanu avamanyi va vanu avamanyi va nondwe avipile fincho. Pu akhalageila ukhubudiwa avana vooni avadeemi avu vaale mu Bethelehemu na vooni avuvale nkilunga khila avanya miakha givili na pasi pa miakha eigyo ukhukongana nu seikhi ugu amalile ukhulumanya khuvamanyi va nondwe.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Leino pulikha leikwilanile eilimenyu leila eileilyanchoviwe nu ndomo gwa nyamalago u Yelemia,
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
“Eingolo ya puleikhikhe khu Ramah, eikhileilo nu lyoveelo uluvaha, u Raheli wikhuva leileila avana va mwene pu akhabeela ukhunchesiwa ulwa khuva vasipali hange.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
U Helode avile afwile, lola usuhwa va Ntwa akhambonekhela u Yosefu mu njosi ukhu khu Misili nu khuta,
20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
“Wime utole umwana nu vanina pu mlutage mukhilunga eikya mu Israeli ulwa khuva avakhalondaga uwumi wa mwana vafwile.”
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
U Yosefu akhima akhatola umwana na vanina puvakhincha mukhilunga ikhya mu Israeli.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
Puleino aviile apulikhe ukhuta u Arikelau ale mbaha va valongonchi khuva Yuta ahalile pa vise va mwene u Helode, adwaadile fincho ukhuluta ukhwa. Pu uNguluve avile ambulaninche munjosi akhahega ukhuluta khukhilunga eikhya khu Galilaya
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.
pu akhaluta khutama mumbunchege uwa khu Nazareti. Pu ukhuta leivombekhe eilimenyu leila eili lyamalile ukhunchoviwa navanyamalago ukhuta ayikhelangiwagwa Mnazareti.
