Mattiyu 2
1 Bayan an haifi Yesu a Betlehem, a Yahudiya, a zamanin Sarki Hiridus, sai waɗansu Masana, daga gabas suka zo Urushalima
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came certain wise men from the east to 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.”
saying, Where is the king of the Jews that is born here? for we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship Him.
3 Da Sarki Hiridus ya ji wannan, sai hankalinsa ya tashi haka ma na dukan Urushalima.
And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, 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 having summoned together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he enquired of them where the Messiah was to be born: and they told him, at Bethlehem in Judea;
5 Suka amsa suka ce, “A Betlehem ne, cikin Yahudiya, gama haka annabin ya rubuta.
for thus it is written by the prophet,
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.’”
"And thou Bethlehem in the land of Juda art not the meanest among the cities of the princes of Juda; for out of thee shall come forth a ruler, that shall feed 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 wise men to him privately, and inquired of them exactly the time of the star's appearing:
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 make diligent search for the child, and when ye have found Him, let me know, that I also may come 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.
When they had heard the king, they went: and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went on before them, till it came and stood over the place where the child was.
10 Da suka ga tauraron, sai suka yi farin ciki ƙwarai.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy;
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.
and coming into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they brought Him presents, of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Bayan an gargaɗe su cikin mafarki kada su koma wurin Hiridus, sai suka koma ƙasarsu ta wata hanya dabam.
And being warned of God in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back into their own country another way.
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.”
And when they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Rise and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and continue there, untill I tell thee to return: for Herod will seek the child to destroy Him.
14 Sai Yusuf ya tashi, ya ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa da dad dare suka tafi Masar,
And he arose and took the child and his mother by night, and went away into 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.”
and stayed there till the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spake by the prophet, saying, " Out of Egypt have 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.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was baffled by the wise-men, was very much enraged; and he sent and slew all the male-children in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly inquired of the wise-men.
17 Sai abin da aka faɗa ta bakin annabi Irmiya ya cika, cewa,
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet,
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.”
saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel bewailing her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 Bayan Hiridus ya mutu, sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Yusuf a mafarki a Masar,
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth 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.”
saying, Arise and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they, that sought the child's life, are dead.
21 Sai ya tashi, ya ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa suka tafi ƙasar Isra’ila.
And he arose, and took the child and his mother, and came into 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 heard that Archelaus reigned over Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither; however being warned of God in a dream, he retired into 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 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.
