Matthew 2
1 Therfor whanne Jhesus was borun in Bethleem of Juda, in the daies of king Eroude, lo! astromyenes camen fro the eest to Jerusalem,
Baada ya Yesu kuzaliwa katika mji wa Bethlehemu huko Uyahudi, wakati wa utawala wa Mfalme Herode, wataalamu wa mambo ya nyota kutoka mashariki walifika Yerusalemu
2 and seiden, Where is he, that is borun king of Jewis? for we han seyn his sterre in the eest, and we comen to worschipe him.
wakiuliza, “Yuko wapi huyo aliyezaliwa mfalme wa Wayahudi? Kwa maana tumeona nyota yake ikitokea mashariki, nasi tumekuja kumwabudu.”
3 But king Eroude herde, and was trublid, and al Jerusalem with hym.
Mfalme Herode aliposikia jambo hili aliingiwa na hofu sana pamoja na watu wote wa Yerusalemu.
4 And he gaderide to gidre alle the prynces of prestis, and scribis of the puple, and enqueride of hem, where Crist shulde be borun.
Herode akawaita pamoja viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria, akawauliza ni mahali gani ambapo Kristo angezaliwa.
5 And thei seiden to hym, In Bethleem of Juda; for so it is writun bi a profete,
Nao wakamwambia, “Katika Bethlehemu ya Uyahudi, kwa maana hivyo ndivyo ilivyoandikwa na nabii:
6 And thou, Bethleem, the lond of Juda, art not the leest among the prynces of Juda; for of thee a duyk schal go out, that schal gouerne my puple of Israel.
“‘Nawe, Bethlehemu, katika nchi ya Yuda, wewe si mdogo miongoni mwa watawala wa Yuda; kwa maana kutoka kwako atakuja mtawala atakayekuwa mchungaji wa watu wangu Israeli.’”
7 Thanne Eroude clepide pryueli the astromyens, and lernyde bisili of hem the tyme of the sterre that apperide to hem.
Ndipo Herode akawaita wale wataalamu wa nyota kwa siri na kutaka kujua kutoka kwao uhakika kamili wa wakati ile nyota ilionekana.
8 And he sente hem in to Bethleem, and seide, Go ye, and axe ye bisili of the child, and whanne yee han foundun, telle ye it to me, that Y also come, and worschipe hym.
Kisha akawatuma waende Bethlehemu akiwaambia, “Nendeni mkamtafute kwa bidii huyo mtoto. Nanyi mara mtakapomwona, mniletee habari ili na mimi niweze kwenda kumwabudu.”
9 And whanne thei hadden herd the kyng, thei wenten forth. And lo! the sterre, that thei siyen in the eest, wente bifore hem, til it cam, and stood aboue, where the child was.
Baada ya kumsikia mfalme, wale wataalamu wa nyota wakaenda zao, nayo ile nyota waliyoiona mashariki ikawatangulia, nao wakaifuata mpaka iliposimama mahali pale alipokuwa mtoto.
10 And thei siyen the sterre, and ioyeden with a ful greet ioye.
Walipoiona ile nyota wakajawa na furaha kubwa mno.
11 And thei entriden in to the hous, and founden the child with Marie, his modir; and thei felden doun, and worschipiden him. And whanne thei hadden openyd her tresouris, thei offryden to hym yiftis, gold, encense, and myrre.
Walipoingia ndani ya ile nyumba, wakamwona mtoto pamoja na Maria mama yake, wakamsujudu na kumwabudu yule mtoto Yesu. Ndipo wakafungua hazina zao, wakamtolea zawadi za dhahabu, uvumba na manemane.
12 And whanne thei hadden take an aunswere in sleep, that thei schulden not turne ayen to Eroude, thei turneden ayen bi anothir weie in to her cuntrey.
Nao wakiisha kuonywa katika ndoto wasirudi kwa Herode, wakarudi kwenda katika nchi yao kwa njia nyingine.
13 And whanne thei weren goon, lo! the aungel of the Lord apperide to Joseph in sleep, and seide, Rise vp, and take the child and his modir, and fle in to Egipt, and be thou there, til that I seie to thee; for it is to come, that Eroude seke the child, to destrie hym.
Walipokwisha kwenda zao, malaika wa Bwana akamtokea Yosefu katika ndoto akamwambia, “Ondoka, mchukue mtoto na mama yake mkimbilie Misri. Kaeni huko mpaka nitakapowaambia, kwa maana Herode anataka kumtafuta huyu mtoto ili amuue.”
14 And Joseph roos, and took the child and his modir bi nyyt, and wente in to Egipt,
Kisha Yosefu akaondoka, akamchukua mtoto pamoja na mama yake wakati wa usiku, nao wakaenda Misri
15 and he was there to the deeth of Eroude; that it schulde be fulfillid, that was seid of the Lord bi the profete, seiynge, Fro Egipt Y haue clepid my sone.
ambako walikaa mpaka Herode alipofariki. Hili lilifanyika ili litimie lile lililonenwa na Bwana kwa kinywa cha nabii kusema: “Nilimwita mwanangu kutoka Misri.”
16 Thanne Eroude seynge that he was disseyued of the astromyens, was ful wrooth; and he sente, and slowe alle the children, that weren in Bethleem, and in alle the coostis therof, fro two yeer age and with inne, aftir the tyme that he had enquerid of the astromyens.
Herode alipongʼamua kwamba wale wataalamu wa nyota wamemshinda kwa akili, alikasirika sana, naye akatoa amri ya kuwaua watoto wote wa kiume wenye umri wa miaka miwili kurudi chini katika mji wa Bethlehemu na sehemu zote za jirani, kufuatana na ule muda alioambiwa na wale wataalamu wa nyota.
17 Thanne `it was fulfillid, that was seid bi Jeremye, the profete,
Ndipo lilipotimia neno lililonenwa na nabii Yeremia.
18 seiynge, A vois was herd an hiy, wepynge and moche weilyng, Rachel biwepynge hir sones, and she wolde not be coumfortid, for thei ben noyt.
“Sauti ilisikika huko Rama, maombolezo na kilio kikubwa, Raheli akilia kwa ajili ya wanawe, akikataa kufarijiwa, kwa sababu hawako tena.”
19 But whanne Eroude was deed, loo! the aungel of the Lord apperide to Joseph in sleep in Egipt,
Baada ya Herode kufa, malaika wa Bwana akamtokea Yosefu katika ndoto huko Misri
20 and seide, Ryse vp, and take the child and his modir, and go in to the lond of Israel; for thei that souyten the lijf of the chijld ben deed.
na kusema, “Ondoka, mchukue mtoto na mama yake mwende, mrudi katika nchi ya Israeli kwa sababu wale waliokuwa wanatafuta uhai wa mtoto wamekufa.”
21 Joseph roos, and took the child and his modir, and cam in to the loond of Israel.
Basi Yosefu, akaondoka akamchukua mtoto na mama yake wakaenda mpaka nchi ya Israeli.
22 And he herde that Archilaus regnede in Judee for Eroude, his fadir, and dredde to go thidir. And he was warned in sleep, and wente in to the parties of Galilee;
Lakini aliposikia kwamba Arkelao alikuwa anatawala huko Uyahudi mahali pa Herode baba yake, aliogopa kwenda huko. Naye akiisha kuonywa katika ndoto, akaenda zake sehemu za Galilaya,
23 and cam, and dwelte in a citee, that ys clepid Nazareth, that it shulde be fulfillid, that was seid bi profetis, For he shal be clepid a Nazarey.
akaenda akaishi katika mji ulioitwa Nazareti. Hivyo likawa limetimia neno lililonenwa na manabii, “Ataitwa Mnazarayo.”
