Matayu 2
1 Yesu kiwukiti mlushi lwa Betirehemu, muliboma lya Yudeya, shipindi Herodi pakaweriti mfalumi. Kamkamu hera pakiwukiti kala, wantu wana malifa ga ntondu wiziti kulawa kwagulawa mshenji kwa kutali wasokiti Yerusalemu,
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 wakosiyiti, “Kakoshi mwana, Mfalumi gwa Wayawudi yakiwukiti? Tuyiwona ntondu yakuwi kulawa kwagulawa mshenji, na twiza kumguwira yomberi.”
"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 Mfalumi Herodi pakapikaniriti aga, kalisheriti, yomberi pamuhera na woseri yawalikala Yerusalemu.
And when King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Su kawashemiti watambika wakulu woseri pamuhera na wafunda wa Malagaliru na kuwakosiya, “Kristu Mlopoziya hakiwuki koshi?”
And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
5 Womberi wamwankula, “Hakiwuki mlushi lwa Betirehemu, muliboma lya Yudeya. Hangu ndo ntambu yawalembiti wambuyi wa Mlungu,
And they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written through the prophet,
6 ‘Gwee Betirehemu isi ya Yuda, Gwenga gwa mdidini ndiri mulushi lumanikana lwa Yudeya, Toziya kwa gwenga hakalawili mlongoziya njira, Yakawalongoziya wantu wangu Israeli.’”
'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 Su Herodi kawashemiti mubada wahenga yawalawiti kwagulawa mshenji, kawakosiyiti shipindi sheni ntondu payiwalawiriti.
Then Herod secretly called the Magi, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
8 Shakapanu kawagambiriti wagendi Betirehemu pakalonga, “Mgendi mwakaloli weri visoweru vya mwana ayu, pamvimana kala munjegeli visoweru su naneni hang'endi kumguwira.”
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 Pawampikaniriti kala mfalumi, wamana ntondu walii wagenditi. Su ntondu ilii yawayiwoniti kwagulawa mshenji iwalonguleliti hata igenda kugoloka pahala palii pakaweriti mwana.
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 Pawayiwoniti ndondi ilii wanemeleriti nentu.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 Su, wingiriti mnumba, wamwoniti mwana ulii pamuhera na Mariya mawu gwakuwi, wasuntama pasi na wamguwira. Shakapanu wavugula na kumupa mafupu gawu ga zahabu na ubani na manemane.
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 Mlungu kawabeliziiyti mumpota nawamwuyira Herodi, su wawuyiti kuisi kwawu kwa njira yamonga.
Being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
13 Pawawukiti kala wahenga walii, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa Mlungu kamlawiriti Yosefu mukulota, kamgambiriti, “Gwimuki! Gumtoli mwana pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi, mtugili Misri. Mulikali kulii mpaka panukugambira, toziya Herodi kafira kumlaga mwana ayu.”
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 Su, Yosefu kimukiti, kamtola mwana pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi, kawukiti pashiru kugenda Misri.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15 Kalikaliti kulii mpaka pakahowiti Herodi. Shitwatila ashi shitendikiti su shisoweru shakatakuliti Mtuwa kwa njira ya mbuyi gwa Mlungu shitendeki, “Numshemiti mwana gwangu kulawa Misri.”
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 Shakapanu Herodi pakavimaniti wahenga walii yawalawiti kwagulawa mshenji wamzyanga, kakalariti nentu. Kalagaliriti wanonu woseri wapalu mulushi lwa Betirehemu na mumpeku mwakuwi yawawera na umuli wa mivinja miwili na pasi pawu walagwi. Katenditi hangu kulawirana na shilii shakamaniti kulawa kwa wahenga walii wamana ntondu.
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 Hangu ndo ntambu ya vitimiyiti visoweru vya umbuyi wa Mlungu kwa njira ya mbuyi gwa Mlungu Yeremiya,
Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18 “Liziwu lipikanika aku Rama, Shiwembu na kudaya kuvuwa. Raheri kankuwalilira wana wakuwi, Na kafira ndiri kunyamala, Toziya woseri wahowa.”
"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 Herodi pakahowiti kala, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa Mlungu kamlawiriti Yosefu mundotu kulii Misri,
But when Herod was dead, look, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 kamgambira, “Gwimuki! Gumtoli mwana pamuhera na mawu gwakuwi muwuyi muisi ya Israeli toziya woseri yawafiriti kumlaga mwana, wahowa kala.”
"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 Su Yosefu kimuka, kamtola mwana pamuhera na mawu gwa mwana na wawuya Israeli.
And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 Kumbiti Yosefu pakapikaniriti handa Arikerawu, mwana gwa Herodi kaweriti mfalumi gwa Yudeya pahala pakakolitimlima Herodi tati gwakuwi, katiliti kugenda kulii. Nayomberi, pawambereziyiti mundotu, su kagenditi wega zya Galilaya
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 na kalikaliti mlushi lwawalushema Nazareti. Hangu ndo ntambu yavitimiyiti visoweru vyakalongiti mbuyi gwa Mlungu, “Hawamshemi Mnazareti.”
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.
