Mathayo 2
1 Baada ya Yesu apapwe Mubethelehem iya Huuyahudi hu nsiku izya mwene u Herode, abhantu bhebhazizye afume humashariki iya patali bhahafishile hu Yerusalemu bhahaga,
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came Magi from the east unto Jerusalem,
2 “Ali hwoshi yapapilwe umwene wabhayahudi? Tahayilolile inzota ya humashariki nati tinzile humpute.”
saying: Where is the king of the Jews that is born? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.
3 Umwene u Herode la ahumvwa iga ahalalamushe ni Yerusalemu youti peka nu mwene.
And Herod the king heard, and he was disturbed; and all Jerusalem with him.
4 Uherode ahabhabhunginye agosi bhaadimi bhonti na asimbi bha bhantu, ahabhabhuzya, “Klisiti abhapapwe hwi?”
And he assembled all the chiefs of the priests and the scribes of the people, and inquired of them, Where is the birthplace of the Messiah?
5 Bhamuzya, “Hu Bethelehemu iya Huyahudi, ishi sheyahasimbilwe na akuwa,
And they said: In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written in the prophet:
6 Naawe Bethelehemu, munsi iya Yuda, siga ndodo peka na alongozi abha hu Yuda, pipo afume huliwe abhahwinze umwene yahayibhadima abhantu bhani abha Israeli.”
Thou also, Bethlehem of Judaea, art not the little among the kings of Judaea, for a king shall come from thee who shall rule my people Israel.
7 Isho u Herode ahabhakwizizye bhala abhazyi hu siri na hubhabhuzye aje habhalilizyo bhuli inzota iloleshe.
Then Herod privately called the Magi, and learned from them at what time the star appeared to them.
8 Ahabhatuma hu Bethelehemu, ahaga, “Bhalaji na hwenyelezye mumwanze umwana ya papilwe. Nkemwanola mundetele ihabari aje nani nkininze humpute.”
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said to them, Go, search diligently for the child; and when ye have found him, come and tell me, that I also may go and worship him.
9 Baada ya manye aje bhamwimvwizye umwene bhahendeliye ashule, ni mota ila yebhahayilolile humashariki yahabhalongoleye mpa lweyahimilila pala pa mwanya umwana ahapapilwe pansi yakwe.
And they, when they had heard from the king, went forward: and lo, the star they had seen in the east went before them, until it came and stood over where the child was.
10 Lwe bhahayilola inzota bhahashiye hani.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced much, with great joy.
11 Bhahinjiye munyumba nahunole umwana yapapilwe nu Mariamu unyina wakwe. Bhamwinamiye na humpute. Bhahiguye ivintu vyabho nahumfumizye izawadi zyabho izahabu nu uvumba ni manemane.
And they entered the house; and they saw the child, with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him: and they opened their treasures, and presented to him gifts, gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
12 U Ngulubhi ahabhasoshile mndoto aje bhasahawele hwa Herode, kwa hiyo bhahasoguye abhale hunsi yabho hwidala ilyinji.
And it was shown them in a dream, that they should not return to Herod. And by another way, they returned to their country.
13 Baada ya sogole abhantumi bha Ngulubhi bhahamfumiye u Yusufu hunjozi ahadamushe, “Ua, humweje umwana nu nyina wakwe nu mwana na ahashimbiliye hu Misri. Mukhale hunuhwo mpaka lwe nahayibha bhuzya pipo u Herode ahumwana ili agoje.
And when they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said to him, Arise, take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt; and be thou there, until I tell thee: for Herod will seek for the child, to destroy it.
14 Nunsiku u Yusufu ahadamusha na humweje umwana nu nyina wakwe ashimbilile Humisri.
Then Joseph arose, took the child and his mother, by night, and fled to Egypt.
15 Ahakhiye uhwo mpa u Herode nahafwa. Izi zyahafishiye shila Ungulubhi shahayinje ashilile hwa nkuwa, “Afume humisri inkwizizye mwana wani.”
And he was there, until the death of Herod; that so might be fulfilled that which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, From Egypt have I called my son.
16 U Herode, laahalola bhansufizye na bhantu abhazya, ahavitilwe hani. Ahalajizizye agoje abhana na bhonti abhishilume bhebhahali hu Bethelehemu na bhonti bhebhali pala ahwaudile amaha gabhili ahwishe pansi afume shebha yinje abhazyi.
Then Herod, when he saw that he had been deluded by the Magi, was very angry. And he sent and slew all the children in Bethlehem, and in all its confines, from a child of two years and under, according to the time that he had carefully learned from the Magi.
17 Pe twalibhombile izwi lila lyelyaha yangwilwe nukuwa u Yeremia,
Then was that fulfilled, which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
18 “Izi lyahimvwiha hu Ramah, impungo na zonde hani, u Raheli ahabhalililaga abhana bhakwe, na ahakhanile apumilizwe pipo abhana nabhamo.”
A voice was heard in Rama, weeping and great lamentation; Rachel bemoaning her children, and unwilling to be comforted, because they are no more.
19 U Herode lwa hafwa abhantumi bha Ngulubhi bhahamwinziye u Yusufu mutulo uhwo hu Misri na yanje.
But when king Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 “Bhuha umweje umwa nu nyina wakwe mubhale hunsi iya hu Israeli pipo bhahanzaga uwumi wa mwana aje bhasahagoje.”
and said to him: Arise, take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they are dead who sought the life of the child.
21 U Yusufu ahimiliye, amwega umwana nu mayi wakwe, ahinza munsi iyamu Israeli.
And Joseph arose, and took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
22 Ishi la ahwumvwa aje u Arikelau ahali mwini wa hu Yuda pala pa yise wakwe u Herode, ahogope abhale uhwo. Baada ya Ngulubhi hunsoshe mutulo, ahasogoye abhale humukoa ugwa hu Galilaya,
But when he heard that Archelaus was king in Judaea, instead of his father Herod, he feared to go thither. And it was revealed to him in a dream, that he should go into the land of Galilee.
23 ahabhalile akhale munsi yihwitwa Nazareti. Ili lyahatimiye hu zila zyezyahayangwilwe hwi dala lya kuwa aje bhasiakwizye Mnazareti.
And he came and dwelt in a city that is called Nazareth: that so might be fulfilled that which was said by the prophet, that he should be called a Nazarene.
