< UMathewu 2 >
1 Kwathi uJesu esezelwe eBhethelehema yeJudiya, ensukwini zikaHerodi inkosi, khangela, kwafika izazi eJerusalema zivela empumalanga,
Jitia Herod raja thakise, etu somoite Judea desh laga Bethlehem town te Jisu jonom hoise. Aru gyaan thaka manu khan purab phale thaka desh pora jonom laga kotha huni kene Jerusalem te ahise,
2 zisithi: Ungaphi ozelwe eyinkosi yamaJuda? Ngoba sibonile inkanyezi yakhe empumalanga, njalo sesize ukumkhonza.
aru eneka hudise, “Yehudi khan laga Raja hobole jonom huwa to kot te ase? Kilekoile amikhan Tai laga tara purab te dikhise, aru amikhan Taike aradhana kori bole ahise.”
3 Ngakho uHerodi inkosi esezwile wakhathazeka, leJerusalema yonke kanye laye.
Kintu jitia Herod raja etu hunise, tai aru tai logote Jerusalem te thaka khan sob laga mon chinta hoise.
4 Esebuthanisile bonke abapristi abakhulu lababhali babantu, wabuza kubo ukuthi uKristu uzazalelwa ngaphi.
Etu pichete Herod raja pora mukhyo purohit aru niyom likha manu khan ke eke logote mati kene hudise, “Khrista to kun jagate jonom hobo?”
5 Basebesithi kuye: EBhethelehema yeJudiya; ngoba kulotshiwe ngokunjalo ngumprofethi ukuthi:
Taikhan taike koise, “Judea laga Bethlehem te, kele koile etu he bhabobadi khan pora Isor kotha te likhise,
6 Lawe, Bhethelehema, lizwe lakoJuda, kawusuye omncinyane lakanye phakathi kwababusi bakoJuda; ngoba kuzavela kuwe umbusi, ozakwelusa abantu bami uIsrayeli.
‘Kintu tumi Bethlehem, Judah desh te thaka, Apnikhan Judah desh laga cholawta khan pora komti nohoi, Kilekoile apnikhan majot pora ekjon raja ulabo, Jun Ami laga Israel manu khan ke Rokhiya kori cholai loijabo.’”
7 Khona uHerodi, esezibizile izazi ensitha, wabuzisisa kuzo isikhathi sokubonakala kwenkanyezi.
Etu pichete, Herod pora lukaikene gyaani manu khan ke kotha korise aru tara ki homoi te ulaise etu bhal pora jani loise.
8 Wasezithuma eBhethelehema wathi: Hambani libuzisise ngomntwana omncinyane; kuzakuthi nxa limtholile, libike kimi, ukuze lami ngiye ngimkhonze.
Etu pichete tai gyaani manu khan ke Bethlehem te eneka koi kene pathaise, “Jabi aru bhal pora etu bacha ke bisari bhi. Kitia apnikhan taike pabo, amike kobi, kele koile Moi bhi ta te jai kene Taike aradhana koribo.”
9 Kwathi seziyizwile inkosi zasuka zahamba; njalo khangela, inkanyezi, ezayibona empumalanga, yahamba phambi kwazo, yaze yafika yema phezu kwalapho usane olwalukhona.
Raja laga kotha khan huna pichete, taikhan jai jaise, aru sabi, taikhan juntu tara purab te dikhise etu eke tara aru dikhise aru taikhan etu tara laga piche jaise. Etu tara taikhan age-age jai kene bacha thaka jaga uporte rukhi jaise.
10 Zathi ukuyibona inkanyezi zathokoza ngentokozo enkulu kakhulu.
Jitia taikhan tara ke dikhise, taikhan bisi khushi hoi kene rukhibo.
11 Zasezingena endlini, zabona usane kanye loMariya unina, zawela phansi zalukhonza, zavula impahla zazo eziligugu zalukhunga ngezipho, igolide lempepha lemure.
Titia taikhan ghor bhitor te ghusi se chutu bacha ke Tai laga ama Mary pora dhuri thaka dikhise. Taikhan athukari kene Taike aradhana korise. Taikhan khushi pora taikhan laga khajana khan khuli kene suna, aru dhona, aru bhal gundh laga tel khan daan korise.
12 Kwathi sezilayiwe nguNkulunkulu ephutsheni ukuthi zingabuyeli kuHerodi, zasuka zabuyela elizweni lakizo ngenye indlela.
Kintu Isor pora taikhan laga sapna te Herod logote wapas najabi koi kene hoshiar kori dise, etu nimite dusra rasta pora taikhan nijor desh te wapas jai jaise.
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.
Kintu taikhan jai ja-a pichete, Isor laga sorgodoth sapna te ahikena Joseph ke koise, “Uthibi, bacha aru ama ke loi kene Egypt te polai jabi aru ami nokuwa tak ta te thakibi, kele koile Herod Raja pora etu bacha ke mora bole bisari bole ase.”
14 Wavuka-ke wathatha usane lonina ebusuku wasuka waya eGibhithe,
Titia utu rati te, Joseph uthikena bacha aru ama ke loi kene Egypt desh te polai jaise.
15 wasehlala khona kwaze kwaba yikufa kukaHerodi; ukuze kugcwaliswe okwakhulunywa yiNkosi ngomprofethi isithi: Ngiyibizile indodana yami iphume eGibhithe.
Tai Herod namora tak ta te he thakise. Juntu kotha Isor laga bhabobadi pora koi disele, etu pura hoi jaise, “Egypt pora Ami laga chokra ke mati loise.”
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.
Jitia Herod gyaani manu khan pora taike thogaise koi kene janise, tai bisi khong uthise. Etu nimite tai laga sipahi khan ke pathaikena jiman dui saal pora niche mota bacha Bethlehem te ase, sobke morai dibole hukum dise. Kilekoile utu somoite Jisu jonom koi kene dui saal ase koi kene Herod khobor paikena thakise.
17 Kwasekugcwaliseka okwakhulunywa nguJeremiya umprofethi, ukuthi:
Bhabobadi Jeremiah pora ki kotha koi dise eitu khan sob pura hoi jaise, juntu eneka likha asele,
18 Kwezwakala ilizwi eRama, ukukhala lokulila lokudabuka okukhulu, uRasheli elilela abantwana bakhe, njalo engavumi ukududuzwa, ngoba bengasekho.
“Ramah town te ekta awaj hunise, Bisi mon dukh koi kene kandi thakise, Rachel tai laga bacha nimite kandi thakise, Aru kunke bhi tai laga mon shanti koribo diya nai kele koile taikhan nathaka hoi jaise.”
19 Kodwa kwathi esefile uHerodi, khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala ephutsheni kuJosefa eGibhithe,
Aru jitia raja Herod mori jaise, sabi, Isor laga ekjon sorgodoth, Joseph to Egypt te thaka somoite tai laga sapna te ahise,
20 isithi: Vuka uthathe umntwana omncinyane lonina, uye elizweni lakoIsrayeli; ngoba sebefile ababedinga umphefumulo womntwana omncinyane.
aru eneka koise, “Uthikena bacha aru tai laga ama ke loi kene Israel desh te jabi, kele koile jun manu bacha ke mora bole thakise taikhan morise.”
21 Wavuka-ke wathatha umntwana omncinyane lonina wasefika elizweni lakoIsrayeli.
Etu pichete Joseph uthikena, bacha aru ama ke loi jaise, aru Israel laga desh te jaise.
22 Kodwa esezwile ukuthi uAkelawu usebusa eJudiya esikhundleni sikaHerodi uyise, wesaba ukuya khona; kodwa esexwayisiwe nguNkulunkulu ephutsheni, wasuka waya kungxenye zeGalili,
Kintu jitia tai hunise Herod laga chokra Archelaus he Judea laga raja ase, titia, tai ta te jabole bhoi hoi jaise. Hoilebi Isor pora tai laga sapna te hoshiar kori dise, aru etu jaga chari kene, tai Galilee jagate jaise.
23 wasefika wahlala emzini othiwa yiNazaretha; ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngabaprofethi ukuthi: Uzabizwa ngokuthi ngumNazaretha.
Aru Nazareth laga sheher te jaise aru ta te thaki jaise. Eneka pora, juntu bhabobadi khan pora Isor laga kotha koi dise etu pura hoi jaise, juntu asele, Taike Nazareth laga manu koi kene matibo.
