Mattiyu 2
1 Bayan an haifi Yesu a Betlehem, a Yahudiya, a zamanin Sarki Hiridus, sai waɗansu Masana, daga gabas suka zo Urushalima
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,
2 suka yi tambaya suka ce, “Ina shi wanda aka haifa sarkin Yahudawa? Gama mun ga tauraronsa a gabas mun kuwa zo ne domin mu yi masa sujada.”
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 Da Sarki Hiridus ya ji wannan, sai hankalinsa ya tashi haka ma na dukan Urushalima.
When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Bayan ya kira dukan manyan firistoci da malaman dokoki na mutane wuri ɗaya, sai ya tambaye su inda za a haifi Kiristi.
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 Suka amsa suka ce, “A Betlehem ne, cikin Yahudiya, gama haka annabin ya rubuta.
“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:
6 “‘Amma ke Betlehem, a cikin ƙasar Yahuda, ba ke ce mafi ƙanƙanta a cikin masu mulki a Yahuda ba, gama daga cikinki mai mulki zai zo, wanda zai zama makiyayin mutanena Isra’ila.’”
‘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 Sai Hiridus ya kira Masanan nan a ɓoye, yă gano daga wurinsu daidai lokacin da tauraron ya bayyana.
Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had appeared.
8 Sai ya aike su Betlehem ya ce, “Ku je ku binciko a hankali game da yaron nan. Da kun same shi, sai ku kawo mini labari nan da nan, domin ni ma in je in yi masa sujada.”
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 Bayan sun saurari sarki, sai suka kama hanyarsu, tauraron da suka gani a gabas kuwa yana tafe a gabansu, sai da ya kai inda yaron yake.
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 Da suka ga tauraron, sai suka yi farin ciki ƙwarai.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.
11 Suka shiga gidan, suka kuwa ga yaron tare da mahaifiyarsa Maryamu. Suka durƙusa har ƙasa, suka yi masa sujada. Sa’an nan suka kunce dukiyarsu, suka miƙa masa kyautai na zinariya da na turare da na mur.
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 Bayan an gargaɗe su cikin mafarki kada su koma wurin Hiridus, sai suka koma ƙasarsu ta wata hanya dabam.
And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.
13 Bayan sun tafi, sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Yusuf a mafarki ya ce, “Tashi, ka ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa, ku gudu zuwa Masar. Ku zauna a can sai na gaya muku, gama Hiridus zai nemi yaron don yă kashe.”
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 Sai Yusuf ya tashi, ya ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa da dad dare suka tafi Masar,
So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,
15 inda ya zauna har sai da Hiridus ya mutu. Ta haka kuwa aka cika abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa ta bakin annabin cewa, “Daga Masar na kira ɗana.”
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 Da Hiridus ya gane cewa Masanan nan sun yi masa wayo, sai ya husata ƙwarai, ya yi umarni cewa a karkashe dukan’yan yara maza da suke a Betlehem da kewayenta, daga masu shekara biyu zuwa ƙasa, bisa ga lokacin da ya sami labarin daga Masanan nan.
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 Sai abin da aka faɗa ta bakin annabi Irmiya ya cika, cewa,
Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18 “An ji murya a Rama, tana kuka da makoki mai tsanani, Rahila ce take kuka domin’ya’yanta, an kāsa ta’azantar da ita, don ba su.”
“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 Bayan Hiridus ya mutu, sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Yusuf a mafarki a Masar,
After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.
20 ya ce, “Tashi, ka ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa ku tafi ƙasar Isra’ila, domin waɗanda suke neman ran yaron sun mutu.”
“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 Sai ya tashi, ya ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa suka tafi ƙasar Isra’ila.
So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 Amma da ya ji Arkelawus ne yake mulki a Yahudiya a matsayin wanda ya gāji mahaifinsa Hiridus, sai ya ji tsoron zuwa can. Bayan an gargaɗe shi a mafarki, sai ya ratse zuwa gundumar Galili,
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 ya je ya zauna a wani garin da ake kira Nazaret. Ta haka aka cika abin da aka faɗa ta bakin annabawa cewa, “Za a ce da shi Banazare.”
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.”
