9 Miikaanis, “Ati eessaa dhufte?” jedhee isa gaafate. Innis, “Ani nama Lewwii kan Beetlihem biyya Yihuudaatii dhufee iddoo jireenyaa barbaaduu dha” jedheen.
Maịka jụrụ ya, “Ebee ka i si bịa?” Ọ sịrị “Abụ m onye Livayị si Betlehem dị na Juda. Ana m achọrọ onwe m ebe m ga-anọ.”
10 Miikaanis, “Na wajjin jiraadhuutii abbaa fi luba naa taʼi; anis waggaatti meetii kudhan siif kenna; uffata keetii fi nyaata kees nan dandaʼa” isaan jedhe.
Mgbe ahụ, Maịka sịrị ya, “Soro biri nʼụlọ m, ghọkwara m nna na onye nchụaja, aga m akwụ gị mkpụrụ ego ọlaọcha shekel iri kwa afọ, nyekwa gị uwe, na ihe oriri.”
11 Kanaafuu Lewwichi sun isa wajjin jiraachuuf walii gale; dargaggeessi sunis Miikaadhaaf ilmaan isaa keessaa akkuma nama tokkoo taʼe.
Ya mere, onye Livayị ahụ kwere nʼihe ọ gwara ya, nwokorobịa ahụ sooro ya biri ka otu nʼime ụmụ ya ndị ikom.
12 Miikaanis dargaggeessa Lewwii sana muudate; innis luba isaa taʼee mana isaa jiraate.
Mgbe ahụ, Maịka nyere onye Livayị ahụ ọrụ, nwokorobịa ahụ ghọọrọ ya onye nchụaja, birikwa nʼụlọ ya.
13 Miikaanis, “Erga Lewwichi kun luba koo taʼe, ani akka Waaqayyo waan gaarii naa godhu nan beeka” jedhe.
Mgbe ahụ, Maịka kwuru, “Ugbu a, amaara m na Onyenwe anyị ga-agọzi m nke ukwuu, nʼihi na onye Livayị a aghọọla onye nchụaja m.”
