Matayo 2
1 Baada jha Yesu kuhogoleka mu Bethelehem j'ha Bhuj'hahudi mu magono gha mfalme Herode, bhanu bhasomi kuh'oma mashariki gha patali bhahidili Yerusalemu bhajobhili,
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 “Aj'hendaku muene ambajhe ahogoliki Mfalme ghwa Bhayahudi? Twaj'hibhuene nyota j'hiake mashariki natu tuhidili kumwabudu.”
“Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
3 Pindi Mfalme Herode bhoapeliki agha adadili sanan, ni Yerusalemu j'hioha pamonga nu muene.
When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Herode abhabhongene bhak'alo bha makuhani bhoha ni bhaalembesi bha bhanu, nu muene akabhakota, “Kristu ibetakuhogoleka ndaku?”
Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 Bhan'j'hobhili, “Mu Bethelehemu j'ha Bhuj'hahudi, kwa kuj'ha efe ndo kyaj'hilembibhu ni nabii,
They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
6 Naghwe Bethelehemu, mu nchi j'ha Yuda, n'debe lepi miongoni mwa bhalongosi bha Yuda, kwa kuj'ha kuhoma kwa bhebhe ibetakuhida mtawala j'haibetakubhadima bhanu bhangu Israeli.”
‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
7 Efyo Herode abhakutili bhala bhasomi kwa siri ni kubhakhota ndo bhwakati gani hasa litondo libhonekeghe.
Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 Akabhatuma Bethelehem, akajobha, “Mlotai kwa bhuangalifu mu kandondaghe muana j'ha ahogoliki. Bhwakati pamwibeta kumbona, mundetayi habari ili nani nibhwesiayi kuhida ni kumwabudu.”
He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
9 Baada j'ha kuj'ha bhamp'heliki mfalme, bhaj'hendelili ni safuari syabhu, ni litondo lela ambalyo bhalibhwene mashariki j'habhalongolili hadi paj'haj'hemili panani pa muene pa ahogoliki.
They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 Bhwakati bho bhaj'hibhuene litondo, bhahobhwaki kwa furaha m'baha munu.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 Bhaj'hingili mu nyumba ni kumbona muana j'haahogoliki ni Mariamu ndebhuake. Bhansujudili ni kumwabudu. Bhabhopuili hazina syabho ni kumpisya zawadi sya dhahabu, bhuvumba, ni manemane.
They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 K'yara abhaonyili mu ndoto bhasibhuj'hi kwa Herode, hivyo, bhabhokili kubhuj'ha mu nchi syabho kwanj'ela j'henge.
Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 Baada j'ha kuj'ha bhabhokhili, malaika ghwa Bwana antokili Yusufu mu ndoto ni kujobha, “J'hinukai ntolai muana ni nyinamunu na mulotai Misri. Mubakilai okhu mpaka panibeta kubhajobhela, kwa kuj'ha Herode akandonda muana ili anj'hangamisiaghe.
Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
14 Pakilu apu Yusufu ajhumuiki ni kuntola muana ni ndebhuake ni kukhem'belela Misri.
He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
15 Atamili okhu hadi Herode bho afuili. Ejhe j'hatimisibhu khela Bwana bhoajobhili kup'hetela nabii, “Kuhoma Misri nu nkutili mwanabhangu.”
and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
16 Kisha Herode bho abhuene adhihakibhu ni bhanu bhasomi, adadili sana. Alaghisi kukomibhwa kwa bhana bhoha bhagosi bhabhaj'hele Bhethelehemu ni bhoha mu lieneo lela ambalyo bhaj'hele ni umri bhwa miaka mibhele ni pasi pa apu kul'engana ni bhwakati bhwa aj'hele athibitishi kabisa kuhoma kwa bhala bhasomi.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.
17 Ndipo palyatimisibhu lela lilobhi lyalyajobhibhu kwa kinywa kya nabii Yeremia,
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 “Sauti j'hap'helekiki Ramah, kilelu ni maombolezo mabhaha, Raheli bho ikabhalelela bhana munu na abelili kufarijibhwa, kwwa ndabha bhajhelepi kabhele.”
“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
19 Herode bho afuili, langai malaika ghwa Bwana an'tokili Yusufu mu ndoto okhu Misri ni kujobha,
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 “J'hinukayi n'tolayi muana ni ndebhuake, na mulotai mu nchi j'ha Israeli kwa ndabha bhabhalondeghe bhuhai bhwa muana bhafuili.”
“Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
21 Yusufu aj'hinuiki, an'tolili muana pamonga nu ndebhuake, na bhahidili mu nchi j'ha Israeli.
He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22 Lakini bho ap'eliki kuj'ha Arikelau aj'hele itawala Yuda mahali pa tata ghwake Herode, atilili kulota okhu. Baada j'ha K'yara kumwonya mu ndoto, abhokhili kulota mkoa ghwa Galilaya
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
23 na alotili kutama okhu mu mji bhwabhwikutibhwa Nazareti. E'le lyatimisi k'hela kyakyaj'hele kimalili kujobhibhwa kwa nj'hela j'ha manabii, kuj'ha ibetakukutibhwa Mnazareti.
and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.
