UMathewu 2
1 Kwathi uJesu esezelwe eBhethelehema yeJudiya, ensukwini zikaHerodi inkosi, khangela, kwafika izazi eJerusalema zivela empumalanga,
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,
2 zisithi: Ungaphi ozelwe eyinkosi yamaJuda? Ngoba sibonile inkanyezi yakhe empumalanga, njalo sesize ukumkhonza.
Jiu vahe'motma Kinima manisia nera inantega kasente'ne? Na'ankure tagra Agri ofuna zage hanati kazigati keteta, mono hunteku e'none.
3 Ngakho uHerodi inkosi esezwile wakhathazeka, leJerusalema yonke kanye laye.
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.
4 Esebuthanisile bonke abapristi abakhulu lababhali babantu, wabuza kubo ukuthi uKristu uzazalelwa ngaphi.
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.
5 Basebesithi kuye: EBhethelehema yeJudiya; ngoba kulotshiwe ngokunjalo ngumprofethi ukuthi:
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,
6 Lawe, Bhethelehema, lizwe lakoJuda, kawusuye omncinyane lakanye phakathi kwababusi bakoJuda; ngoba kuzavela kuwe umbusi, ozakwelusa abantu bami uIsrayeli.
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.)
7 Khona uHerodi, esezibizile izazi ensitha, wabuzisisa kuzo isikhathi sokubonakala kwenkanyezi.
Hagi Heroti'a frakino oku'a antahi'zane vahera zamagenoka huno, Nankna ana ofumo'a fore hu'ne huno zamantahige'ne.
8 Wasezithuma eBhethelehema wathi: Hambani libuzisise ngomntwana omncinyane; kuzakuthi nxa limtholile, libike kimi, ukuze lami ngiye ngimkhonze.
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.
9 Kwathi seziyizwile inkosi zasuka zahamba; njalo khangela, inkanyezi, ezayibona empumalanga, yahamba phambi kwazo, yaze yafika yema phezu kwalapho usane olwalukhona.
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.
10 Zathi ukuyibona inkanyezi zathokoza ngentokozo enkulu kakhulu.
Ana ofuma negageno'a tusi'a muse zamo zamagu'afina avite'ne.
11 Zasezingena endlini, zabona usane kanye loMariya unina, zawela phansi zalukhonza, zavula impahla zazo eziligugu zalukhunga ngezipho, igolide lempepha lemure.
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.
12 Kwathi sezilayiwe nguNkulunkulu ephutsheni ukuthi zingabuyeli kuHerodi, zasuka zabuyela elizweni lakizo ngenye indlela.
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.
13 Kwathi sezisukile, khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi ibonakala kuJosefa ephutsheni, isithi: Vuka uthathe usane lonina, ubusubalekela eGibhithe, ube khona ngize ngikutshele; ngoba uHerodi uzaludinga usane, ukuze alubulale.
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.
14 Wavuka-ke wathatha usane lonina ebusuku wasuka waya eGibhithe,
Anage higeno Josefe'a otino ana Mofavrene, nererane ana kenage agu'afi zanavreno Isipi vu'ne.
15 wasehlala khona kwaze kwaba yikufa kukaHerodi; ukuze kugcwaliswe okwakhulunywa yiNkosi ngomprofethi isithi: Ngiyibizile indodana yami iphume eGibhithe.
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.)
16 Kwathi uHerodi, esebonile ukuthi uphicwe yizazi, wathukuthela kakhulu, wathuma wabulala abantwana bonke ababeseBhethelehema lemingceleni yayo yonke, kusukela eminyakeni emibili langaphansi, njengesikhathi abebuzisise ngaso kuzazi.
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.
17 Kwasekugcwaliseka okwakhulunywa nguJeremiya umprofethi, ukuthi:
Anante korapa mago kasnampa ne' Jeremaia Anumzamo asmigeno hu'nea kemofo nena'a fore hu'ne,
18 Kwezwakala ilizwi eRama, ukukhala lokulila lokudabuka okukhulu, uRasheli elilela abantwana bakhe, njalo engavumi ukududuzwa, ngoba bengasekho.
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.)
19 Kodwa kwathi esefile uHerodi, khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala ephutsheni kuJosefa eGibhithe,
Heroti'ma fritegeno, mago Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo Josefena ava'nafi eno Isipi eme asmi'ne,
20 isithi: Vuka uthathe umntwana omncinyane lonina, uye elizweni lakoIsrayeli; ngoba sebefile ababedinga umphefumulo womntwana omncinyane.
Otinka, Mofavrene nererane zanavarenka Israeli mopare vuo, na'ankure ahe'naku hakre'naza vahera hago fri'naze.
21 Wavuka-ke wathatha umntwana omncinyane lonina wasefika elizweni lakoIsrayeli.
Anage higeno Josefe'a otino ana Mofavrene, nererane zanavreno ete Israeli mopare e'ne.
22 Kodwa esezwile ukuthi uAkelawu usebusa eJudiya esikhundleni sikaHerodi uyise, wesaba ukuya khona; kodwa esexwayisiwe nguNkulunkulu ephutsheni, wasuka waya kungxenye zeGalili,
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.
23 wasefika wahlala emzini othiwa yiNazaretha; ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngabaprofethi ukuthi: Uzabizwa ngokuthi ngumNazaretha.
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.
