Mateu 2
1 Jesu hamana kuzalwa mwa Betelehema ya Judea mwi nako za simwine Heroda, vakwame valitutite vazwa kuvuzwe zuba civeza mwa Jerusalema,
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, look, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
2 “Wina kuhi yava zalwa simwine wa Majuda? kakuti twavona inkani yakwe kuvuzwe bwe zuva, twakeza kukumu fukamina”.
"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 Simwine Heroda hazuwa catiya ahulu mane nivantu vamwa Jerusalema vonse.
And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Heroda ca supa ma Purisita vonse ni vañoli va mulao mi cava vuza nati, “Kriste uswanela kuzalilwa kuhi”?
And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 Civamuco kuti Mwa Bethelehema wa Judea, kakuti muvava ñoleli va porofita,
And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written through the prophet,
6 Iwe, Bethelehema, mwinkanda ya Juda, kana umunini kuvayendisi va Juda, mukuzwe muyendisi yete a alise cisi ca Isilaele”.
'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come forth a ruler who will shepherd my people, Israel.'"
7 Cwale Heroda ca sumpila va litutite kumbali nikuva vuza kuti inkani yavoneka inakonzi luli.
Then Herod secretly called the Magi, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 Cavatuma kwa Bethelehema nikuvata kuti “muyende mukasakisise ce ntokomero muhwile, cimwaka muwana, zemuniizibise name zeniyende nikamu fukamine.”
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."
9 Havamana kuzuwa kwa simwine, civaliyendeza mi inkani ivava voni kuvuzwezuva ciyava yenda kuvusu nikuka zimaninina hewulu lye civaka mwa vali kwikere mucice.
And they, having heard the king, went their way; and look, the star which they saw in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 Hava vona inkani civa sanga ahulu cokuhitiriza.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 Habenjila mwinzuvo civa vona mucice nena ni Maria nyina. Civa fukama nikumu lapera. Civavungununa cifumu cavo nikumuha impo ze gauda, ni insense, ni mira.
And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Ireza cava kalimera muciloto kuti sanzi vaboli kwa Heroda, mi civavola kwi nkanda yavo cenzila ingi.
Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 Hava yenda, iñiroi lye Ireza cilye zira Josefa kwi ñonzi mi cilyati, “vuke uhinde mucice niva nyina, mutirire kwa Egepita, muke kale kwateni kusikira hete nini kuwambile, kakuti Heroda mwasake mucice kuti a mwi haye.”
Now when they had departed, look, 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 A o masiku Josefa cavuka nikuhinda muhwire niva nyina niku tilira kwa Egepita.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 ava kekali kwa Egepita kusikira he fu lya Heroda. Ici ci be zuzilizi civa wambwa nji Ireza camu porofita, “kuzwa mwa Egepita niva sumpi mwangu wo muswisu.”
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 Cwale Heroda havona kuti vakwame va litutite vavamucengi, cavenga ahulu. avatumini vantu kuti vake haye vahwile vonse veciswisu mwa Bethelehema, mane nimucilalo conse civehaya vahwile ve zilimo zo vere kuzwa hakuzalwa kuvoza hansi, cokuya ce inako yava lakalezi kuzwa havava mu wambilili va kwame va litutite.
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the Magi, 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 Magi.
17 Mi cikwalizuziliza civa wambiwa ca muporofita Jeremia,
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 “Linzwi li vazuweki mwa Rammah, cililo ni kuvokolola kukando, Rahele ulilira vana vakwe ukana mane nikutontozwa kakuti kavasikwina.”
"A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are no more."
19 Hafwa Heroda, Ingiloi lya Ireza cilyeza kuvoneka kwa Josefa muciloto mwa Egepita ni kumuta,
But when Herod was dead, look, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 Vuke hinde mwana niva nyina mi uyende kwi nkanda ya Isilaele, kakuti vavali kusaka kwi haya mucice ci vavafwi.”
"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 Josefa ca vuka ni kuhinda muhwire niva nyina civeza mwinkanda ya Isilaere.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 kono hazuwa kuti Arkelausi avali ku vusa mwa Judea ha cipula cesi Heroda, ava tiyi kuya kwateni. mi Ireza camukalimera muciloto, cayenda kwi nkanda ya Galileya
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 mi cayenda mi cakekala mucivaka cisupwa Nazareta. I ci cibezuzilizi civawambiwa cava Porofita, kuti mwa supwe mu Nazareta.
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 Nazorean.
