Matiu 2
1 Jisasi'ma Betlehemi Judia kaziga mopare, Heroti'ma kini mani'nea knafi fore'ma hige'za, zage hanatitegati antahi'zane vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi ehanati'za, anage hu'naze,
UJesu esezelwe eBhethilehema laseJudiya ngesikhathi sokubusa kwenkosi uHerodi, kwafika eJerusalema iZazi zivela empumalanga,
2 Jiu vahe'motma Kinima manisia nera inantega kasente'ne? Na'ankure tagra Agri ofuna zage hanati kazigati keteta, mono hunteku e'none.
zabuza zathi, “Ungaphi lowo ozalelwe ukuba yinkosi yamaJuda na? Sibone inkanyezi yakhe empumalanga ngakho size ukuzamkhonza.”
3 Ama ana nanekema Heroti'ma kini ne'mo nentahino'a, agu'agesamo kore nehuno tarerare nehigeno, Jerusalemi kumate vahe'mo'zanena agrama hiaza hu'naze.
Kwathi inkosi uHerodi isikuzwile lokhu yakhathazeka, kanye leJerusalema lonke.
4 Heroti'ma pristi vahe'zagane, kasegere'ma ugagota hu'naza vahe'ma magopi zamazeri atru huteno'a, inantega Mesaia'a fore hugahie? huno zamantahige'ne.
Kwathi esebizele ndawonye abaphristi abakhulu bonke labafundisi bomthetho, wababuza ukuthi uKhristu wayezazalelwa ngaphi.
5 Hige'za zamagra, agri husmi'za, Judia kaziga Betlehe kumate kasentegahie, na'ankure korapa Anumzamofo kasnampa (profet) ke huama hu'nea ne'mo avon tafepi amanage huno krente'ne,
Baphendula bathi, “EBhethilehema laseJudiya, ngoba lokhu yikho okwalotshwa ngumphrofethi ukuthi:
6 Hagi kagra, Betlehemia, Juda vahe mopafina, kagra Juda vahe'mokizmi ranra kumapintira osasi kumatfana omani'nane, na'ankure kagripinti magora ra nera Israeli vahe ni'ama kegavama hania nera fore hugahie. (Mai 5:2.)
‘Kodwa wena Bhethilehema, elizweni lakoJuda, kawumncinyane kulabo bonke ababusi bakoJuda; ngoba kuzavela umbusi kuwe, ozakuba ngumelusi wabantu bami bako-Israyeli.’”
7 Hagi Heroti'a frakino oku'a antahi'zane vahera zamagenoka huno, Nankna ana ofumo'a fore hu'ne huno zamantahige'ne.
UHerodi wasezibiza iZazi ngasese wadingisisa kuzo isikhathi inkanyezi eyaphuma ngaso ngqe.
8 Heroti'a Betlehemu viho huno hunezmanteno, anage huno zamasmi'ne, Vutma ana Mofavrea ome haketa ketetma, Agri'ma kefore'ma hanutma eme nasminke'na, nagranena anazanke hu'na monora ome hunta'neno.
Wabathuma eBhethilehema wathi, “Hambani liyemdinga umntwana. Lingamfumana lingazise masinyane ukuze lami ngihambe ngiyemkhonza.”
9 Ana nanekema kini ne'mo'ma hige'za antahite'za, nevu'za ko'ma zage hanati kaziga mani'neza ke'naza ofumo kagota huzmanteno nevige'za keme nevazageno ana Mofavre mani'nea nomofo agofetu eme otige'za ke'naze.
Sezizwile okwatshiwo yinkosi, zasuka zahamba, inkanyezi leyo ezaziyibonile empumalanga yahamba phambi kwazo yaze yayakuma lapho umntwana ayekhona.
10 Ana ofuma negageno'a tusi'a muse zamo zamagu'afina avite'ne.
Zathi ziyibona inkanyezi zagcwala intokozo.
11 Ana nompi emareri'za ana Mofavrene nerera Mariane nege'za, zamugosa regati kepri hu'za mono hunte'naze. Eri'zama vu'naza feno'zana anagi'za, musezama ami'nazana, golima, mananentake paurane (frankincense), mere'ne (myrrh) ami'naze.
Zangena endlini zambona umntwana lonina uMariya, zakhothama zamkhonza. Zasezivula impahla zazo eziligugu zamkhunga ngezipho zegolide lempepha lemure.
12 Anumzamo'ma ava'nafi zamasmino Herotintera oviho huno'ma hu'nea kea nentahiza, antahi'zane vahe'mo'za oti'za rugantegati mopa zamirega vu'naze.
Kwathi ngoba zixwayisiwe ephutsheni ukuthi zingabuyeli kuHerodi, zaqonda elizweni lakibo ngenye indlela.
13 Antahi'zane vahe'ma vutageno'a, Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo Josefena ava'nafi efore huno asmi'ne, Otio! Mofavrene, nerera'nena znavrenka Isipi frenka vuo, anantega umani'nege'na Nagrama kasmisugenka eno, na'ankure Heroti'a ana Mofavre hakreno ahe friku nehie huno asami'ne.
Kwathi sezihambile, ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuJosefa ngephupho. Yathi, “Vuka uthathe umntwana lonina libalekele eGibhithe. Lihlale khonale ngize ngilitshele ngoba uHerodi uzamdinga umntwana efuna ukumbulala.”
14 Anage higeno Josefe'a otino ana Mofavrene, nererane ana kenage agu'afi zanavreno Isipi vu'ne.
Ngakho wavuka wathatha umntwana lonina ebusuku waya eGibhithe
15 Anantega Isip vuno umani'negeno Heroti'a fri'ne. Ana'ma hu'neana Anumzamo kasnampa ne'mofo asmigeno korapa kre'nea kemofo nena'a efore hu'ne, Isipitira Nagra Ne'mofavre'ni'a agi hugeno e'ne. (Hos 11:1.)
lapho abahlala khona uHerodi waze wafa. Ngakho kwagcwaliseka lokho iNkosi eyayikutshilo ngomphrofethi ukuthi, “Indodana yami ngayikhupha eGibhithe.”
16 Anante Heroti'ma keama, antahi'zane vahe'mo'za revatgama hazageno'a, agra tusi'a rimpa he'ne. Agra vahe huzmanteno, Betlehemi kumapinti ene, ana tva'onte me'nea kumapinti, zagegafu'zmimo tare zagekafureti urami'nea mofavre'zaga ome zamahe friho huno antahi'zane vahe'mo'za ofugu'ma asami'za, e'inahu'zana fore hugahie hazageno antahi'nea knagu anage hunora zamasami'ne.
Kwathi ukuba uHerodi ananzelele ukuthi iZazi zazimphicile wazonda kakhulu, wasekhupha umlayo wokuthi kubulawe bonke abantwana abangabafana eBhethilehema lasemangweni wonke oseduze, bonke ababeleminyaka emibili kusehla, kuhambelana lesikhathi leso ayesitshelwe yiZazi.
17 Anante korapa mago kasnampa ne' Jeremaia Anumzamo asmigeno hu'nea kemofo nena'a fore hu'ne,
Ngakho lokho okwakutshiwo ngumphrofethi uJeremiya kwagcwaliseka ukuthi:
18 Mago ageru Rama kumateti antahi'naze, zavi neteno tusi'a asuza eri'ne, Reseli'a mofavre rmima'agu zavi ate'ne, higeno agri'ma azeri tagane'zankura ave'osi'ne, na'ankure magore huno omani tfa higeno'e. (Jere 31:15.)
“Ilizwi lizwakala eRama, ukukhala lesililo esikhulu, uRasheli ekhalela abantwana bakhe njalo wala ukududuzwa, ngoba kabasekho.”
19 Heroti'ma fritegeno, mago Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo Josefena ava'nafi eno Isipi eme asmi'ne,
UHerodi esefile, ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala ngephupho kuJosefa eseGibhithe
20 Otinka, Mofavrene nererane zanavarenka Israeli mopare vuo, na'ankure ahe'naku hakre'naza vahera hago fri'naze.
yathi, “Sukuma uthathe umntwana lonina liye elizweni lako-Israyeli ngoba labo ababefuna ukubulala umntwana sebefile.”
21 Anage higeno Josefe'a otino ana Mofavrene, nererane zanavreno ete Israeli mopare e'ne.
Ngakho wasukuma wathatha umntwana lonina waya elizweni lako-Israyeli.
22 Hianagi Heroti nemofo Akelasi, nefa no erino Judia kaziga kegava hie kema nentahino'a, ana kaziga vuzanku koro hu'ne. Anumzamo ava'nafima asmi'nea kante anteno, agra (Josefe) atreno Galili kaziga vu'ne.
Kodwa wathi ngokuzwa ukuthi u-Akhelasi wayebusa eJudiya esikhundleni sikayise uHerodi wesaba ukuya khona. Kwathi esexwayisiwe ephutsheni wahamba wayahlala eGalile,
23 Agra zanavreno viazamo, Nasareti kumate umani'naze. Anama hu'neana korapa kasnampa vahe'mo'za hunte'naza kemo nena'a efore hiankino Jisasinkura Nazareti Nere hu'za agia hegahaze.
edolobheni elalithiwa yiNazaretha. Ngalokho kwagcwaliseka okwatshiwo ngabaphrofethi ukuthi: Uzabizwa ngokuthi ngoweNazaretha.
