1 Waaliwo omusajja eyabeeranga mu nsi ey’ensozi Efulayimu, erinnya lye Mikka.
Hagi mago nera Efraemi agona kokampi nemania ne' agi'a Maika'e.
2 N’agamba nnyina nti, “Ebitundu bya ffeeza olukumi mu ekikumi ebyakubulako, n’okukolima n’okolima, nga mpulira, laba, effeeza eyo nze njirina. Nze nagitwala.” Awo nnyina n’amugamba nti, “Mwana wange, Mukama Katonda akuwe omukisa.”
Mago kna nererankura amanage hu'ne, nagra nentahugenka 1tausen 100'a silva zagoma musufama erizagenka kazusi ke huzamante'nane. E'ina zagoa nagra musufa eri'noe. Higeno nerera'a kenona huno, hufore'ma hantera Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugantesie,
3 Awo bwe yakomyawo ebitundu bya ffeeza ebyo olukumi mu ekikumi, eri nnyina, nnyina n’amugamba nti, “Mpaayo effeeza eno eri Mukama Katonda, okuva mu mukono gwange ku lw’omwana wange, ekolebwemu ekifaananyi ekyole n’ekifaananyi ekisaanuuse, era ndimuzza gy’oli.”
higeno'a ana 1tausen 100'a silva zagoa erino nerera ome amigeno nerera'a amanage hu'ne, Menina nagra ama'na zagoa nenamofonku hu'na Ra Anumzamofo amuanki'na kaza osu havi anumzamofo amema'a tro'ma nehaza vahe zaminuge'za tro hute'za eme kamigahaze.
4 Awo bwe yazza effeeza, nnyina n’addira ebitundu ebikumi bibiri ebya ffeeza, n’abiwa omuweesi wa ffeeza, n’abikolamu ekifaananyi ekyole n’ekifaananyi ekisaanuuse. Ne biteekebwa mu nnyumba ya Mikka.
Anage nehuno nerera'a 200'a silva zagoa erino zafare'ma antre'zama silvama rukamre'za keonke'zama tro'ma nehaza vahe ome zamizage'za, eri'za vahe amema'a tro nehu'za, magora silvaretike tro hu'za eme amizageno erino Maika nompi ome ante'ne.
5 Omusajja oyo Mikka yalina essabo. N’akola efodi, n’ebifaananyi ebyole n’ayawula omu ku batabani be okuba kabona we.
Hagi Maika'a osi mono noma'a me'neankino, pristi vahe kukena tro huno efotie nehaza amimizare rente'za trohunteno mofavreramima'afinti mago'mofo pristi manisie huno huhamprinte'ne.
6 Mu biro ebyo tewaaliwo kabaka mu Isirayiri, era buli muntu yakolanga nga bw’alaba.
E'ina knafina Israeli vahepina mago kinia omani'neankino mago mago vahe'mo'a agra'a avesite kegeno avure'ma fatgoma hiazana hutere hu'ne.
7 Ne wabaawo omuvubuka ow’omu kika kya Yuda nga Muleevi, eyabeeranga mu Besirekemuyuda.
Hagi mago knazupa Juda nagapinti mago Livae nehaza ne'mo'a Betlehem kumate Juda mopafi nemaniane.
8 N’ava mu kibuga kya Besirekemuyuda n’atandika okunoonya gy’anaabera, n’atuuka mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu mu nnyumba ya Mikka. Wabula yali akyali ku lugendo ng’akyanoonya aw’okubeera.
Hagi Juda mopafinti Betlehemu kumara atreno kuma'ma manisia kumaku hakeno vu'ne. Hagi anama nevuno'a Efraemi agona kokampi vuno Maika nonte uhanati'ne.
9 Mikka n’amubuuza nti, “Ova wa?” Omuleevi n’amuddamu nti, “Nva mu Besirekemuyuda, era nnoonya we nnyinza okubeera.”
Anama uhanatigeno'a Maika'a amanage huno hu'ne, kagra igati ane? Huno antahigegeno amanage huno ana ne'mo'a hu'ne. Nagra Livae ne' Juda mopafi Betlehemu kumate nemanua ne'mo'na mani'nua kumaku hake'na neoe.
10 Mikka n’amugamba nti, “Beera nange, obeere kitange era kabona, nange ndikuwa ebitundu bya ffeeza kkumi ng’empeera, era ne nkuwa n’engoye n’emmere.” Omuleevi n’abeera naye.
Higeno Maika'a amanage hu'ne, Nenfa kna hunka nagri'ene mani'nenka, pristi eri'za vaheni'a manio. Hagi mago mago kafufina 10ni'a Silva zagone kukenane ne'zanena kamigahue, higeno ana ne'mo'a ufre'ne.
11 Awo Omuleevi n’akkiriza okubeera n’omusajja oyo, era omuvubuka n’aba gy’ali ng’omu ku batabani be.
Hagi Livae nehazamo'a muse nehuno Maika nemofoza higeno,
12 Awo Mikka n’ayawula Omuleevi, era omuvubuka oyo n’abeera kabona we n’abeera mu nnyumba ya Mikka.
Maika'a ana Livae nehazavea pristi mani'nie huno azeri ruotage higeno, Maika nompi pristi eri'za ne' mani'ne.
13 Mikka n’ayogera nti, “Kaakano mmanyi nga Mukama Katonda anankoleranga ebirungi, kubanga nnina Omuleevi nga kabona wange.”
Ana nehuno Maika'a anage hu'ne, nagra menima nagesama antahuana, Livae ne' pristia azeri otuankino Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunantegahie hu'ne.
