Matiewo 2
1 Jesu den mali Betelema, Jude dogu nni, ya yogu ke Herodi den tie badciamo; lanyogu ke ya badtieba n bani i ŋmaali cogma ñani puoli, ki cua Jerusalema,
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,
2 yedi: Jufinba badciamo, ban mali yua mɔlane ye le? Kelima, ti la ke o ŋmaabiga pudi puoli, ke ti cua ki ba pugi o.
asking, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”
3 O badciamo Herodi ń gbadi lanya maama, o yama ń ŋmadi lan mugi Jerusalema yaaba kuli.
When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 O badciamo ń taani salga yidkaacianba yeni u dogu nn gbanbanda, ki buali ki bandi ban ba mali Kiristu naana.
And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.
5 Ban maadi o: li tie Betelema, Jude dogu nni; kelima o sawalpualo ń diani yaali n ne:
“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6 Fini, Betelema, Juda tinga, fini ka ñidi ki cie, Juda dogciami siiga, kelima bado ba ña a niini, ki ya kpaa n buolu Isirayeli.
‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of My people Israel.’”
7 Lanyapo, Herodi ń wuoni, ki yini a ŋmaabila banda yeni, ki buali ki bandi ya yogu ke ki ŋmaabiga yeni den pudi ki ñigdi.
Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had appeared.
8 Ki waani ba ke ban gedi Betelema, ki maadi ba: “Gedi mani ki ban ga ki bigi yeni laabaali bonŋanla, I ya la o, yin guani ki maadi nni, mini mo ń gedi ki pugi o.
And sending them to Bethlehem, he said: “Go and search carefully for the Child, and when you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship Him.”
9 Ban cengi o badciamo ki gbeni, ban ña ki paani u sani. Ban den la ya ŋmaabiga puoli yeni ń go legdi bi liiga, ki ya cuoni, ki ban pundi ki biga ń ye naani, ki sedi.
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stood over the place where the Child was.
10 Ban la ki ŋmaabiga, bi pala ń mangi boncianla.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.
11 Ban kua li dieli nni, ki la ki biga yeni o naá Maari, ki gbaani ki pugi o, ki fiidi bi ligbɔga, ki ñani wula, li ŋubli yeni ya tolade n yi miiri ki teni o bi paabu.
On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 Bi den la ti dangdi nni, ke li ki buali ke ban guani ki tɔgni Herodi po, ke bi kogni santianu, ki lebdi ki kuni.
And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.
13 Puoli banda yeni ń kuni, ke maleki legdi ti dangdi nni, ki maadi Jesefi: “Fii, ki taa ki biga yeni o naá, ki sani ki gedi Ejipti, ki ya ye lanpo hali min ba waani a ya yogu; kelima Herodi ba kpaani ya sani ke o ba biani ki biga ne miali.
When the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”
14 Josefi ń fii ku ñiagu ki taa ki biga yeni o naá, ki sani ki gedi Ejipti
So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
15 Bi den ye Ejipti hali ke Herodi ti kpe. Li tieni yeni ke O Diedo ń bo cedi ke sawalualo waani yaali yeni ń tieni ki dudi: “N yini n bijua, ki ñani o Ejipti tinga nni.”
where he stayed until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
16 Herodi ń diidi ki sua ke puoli ŋmaabanda yeni bɔndi o, ke o pali beni boncianla, ke sɔni ke ban kpa Betelema dogu nni yeni li tinkundogi kuli, ya bonjabila pia bina lie yeni yaaba n nagi bina lie nani wan den buali ki bi waani o ya yogu yeni, ke o jia ki dagni ki biga yeni ń baa pia ya bina.
When Herod saw that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was filled with rage. Sending orders, he put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, according to the time he had learned from the Magi.
17 Mɔla, o sawalpualo Jeremi ń den waani yaali tieni ki dudi:
Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18 Bi gbadi i yigni Roma dogu nni, li bubuuli i kuumoe yeni i fanfabinciami, Raciheli ń buudi o bila kuumoe, kaa bua ban baagi o, ki sɔngi opali, kelima, bi ji ki ye.
“A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
19 Herodi ń kpe, ke maleki legdi ti dangdi nni Ejipti, ki maadi Josefi:
After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.
20 ki yedi: “Fii, ki taa ki biga yeni o naá ki gedi Israyeli dogu nni, kelima yaaba n den kpaani ke ban gbindi ki biga miali nan kpe o.
“Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, for those seeking the Child’s life are now dead.”
21 Josefi ń fii, ki taa ki biga yeni o naá, ki gedi Israyeli.
So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 O den gbadi ke Arkelawus n ga o báa Herodi, ki kaa Jude badkpagli po, ke o jie yen wan gedi li dogu nni. O den la ti dangdi nni ke li buali ke wan gedi Galile,
But when he learned that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee,
23 ke o gedi ki kua ya dogu ke bi yi Nasareti, ke bi sawalpuaba n den waani yaali ń tieni ki dudi: “Bi baa yi o Nasaeti yua.”
and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
