< Mathaio 2 >

1 Jesu o na a tsalelwa mo motseng wa Bethelehema, mo Judea metlheng ya puso ya ga Kgosi Herode. E rile ka yone nako eo balepi ba dinaledi bangwe ba goroga mo Jerusalema ba tswa mafatshing a botlhabatsatsi, mme ba botsa ba re,
Yesu bwe yazaalibwa mu kibuga Besirekemu eky’omu Buyudaaya, ku mulembe gwa Kabaka Kerode, abasajja abagezigezi, abaava ebuvanjuba ne bajja mu Yerusaalemi, nga babuuza nti,
2 “E fa kae Kgosi e ncha e e tsetsweng ya Bajuda? Ka gore re bonye naledi ya gagwe mo mafatshing a a kgakala a botlhabatsatsi, mme re tsile go mo obamela”.
“Aliwa eyazaalibwa nga Kabaka w’Abayudaaya? Kubanga twalaba emmunyeenye ye nga tuli mu buvanjuba, era tuzze okumusinza.”
3 Kgosi Herode o ne a tshwenyega thata ka potso ya bone, le batho botlhe ba motse wa Jerusalema ba ne ba tlala khuduego.
Awo Kabaka Kerode bwe yabiwulira ne bimweraliikiriza nnyo, era ne bonna abaali mu Yerusaalemi.
4 A bitsa phuthego ya baeteledipele ba tumelo ya Sejuda, a ba botsa a re, “A baporofiti ba kile ba re bolelela kwa Mesia o tsalelwang teng?”
N’ayita bakabona abakulu bonna n’abawandiisi b’amateeka n’abeebuuzaako ekifo Kristo gye yali agenda okuzaalibwa.
5 Mme ba mo araba ba re, “Ee, mo Bethelehema, ka gore mo ke mo moporofiti Mika o go kwadileng a re,
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Mu Besirekemu eky’omu Buyudaaya, kyawandiikibwa nnabbi nti,
6 ‘Wena motsana wa Bethelehema, ga o legae la Juda le le nyatsegang, gonne mo go wena go tlaa tswa molaodi yo o busang batho ba me ba Iseraele.’”
“‘Naawe Besirekemu ekya Yuda, toli mutono mu balangira ba Yuda, kubanga omufuzi aliva mu ggwe, alifuga abantu bange Isirayiri.’”
7 Hong Herode a romela molaetsa ka sephiri kwa baleping ba dinaledi, a ba kopa gore ba tle go mmona, e rile mo phuthegong e, a ba tlhotlhomisa go mmolelela nako tota e ba simolotseng go bona naledi ka yone. Mme a ba raya a re
Awo Kerode n’atumya Abagezigezi kyama, n’ababuuza ebiro emmunyeenye bye yalabikiramu.
8 “Tsamayang lo yeng kwa Bethelehema lo fete lo senke ngwana. E re lo sena go mmona lo boele kwano go nkitsise gore le nna ke tle ke ye go mo obamela.”
N’abasindika e Besirekemu ng’agamba nti, “Mugende mubuulirize ebikwata ku mwana. Bwe mumulaba, mukomeewo muntegeeze, nange ŋŋende musinze!”
9 E rile morago ga puisanyo e, balepi ba dinaledi ba simolola go tsamaya gape. Mme bonang! Naledi ya iponatsa gape mo go bone, e eme fa godimo ga Bethelehema.
Bwe baamala okuwulira Kabaka bye yabagamba ne bagenda. Bwe baafuluma, emmunyeenye eri gye baalaba ebuvanjuba n’eddamu okubalabikira n’okubakulembera, okutuusa lwe yayimirira waggulu Omwana w’ali.
10 Boitumelo jwa bone jwa nna bogolo thata!
Bwe baalaba emmunyeenye ng’eyimiridde, essanyu lyabwe ne libeera lingi nnyo!
11 Ya re ba tsena mo tlung e ngwana le Marea mmaagwe ba mo go yone, ba wela ka mangole fa pele ga gagwe ba mo obamela. Ba bula dimpho tsa bone mme ba mo fa gauta, leswalo le le nkgang monate (la kobamelo) le setlolo se sengwe se se bidiwang mera.
Bwe baayingira mu nnyumba ne balaba Omwana ne Maliyamu nnyina ne bavuunama ne basinza Omwana. Ne basumulula ensawo zaabwe, ne bamutonera ebirabo, zaabu, n’obubaane n’omugavu.
12 Mme e rile fa ba boela kwa ga bone, ba se ka ba ralala Jerusalema go itsise Herode, ka gore Modimo o ne o ba tlhagisitse mo torong go boela gae ka tsela e sele.
Awo bwe baalabulibwa mu kirooto baleme kuddayo wa Kerode, bwe batyo ne baddayo ewaabwe nga bayita mu kkubo eddala.
13 E rile ba sena go tsamaya, moengele wa Modimo a bonala ka toro mo go Josefa. Mme a mo raya a re, “Tsoga o tshabele le ngwana le mmaagwe kwa Egepeto, o nne teng go fitlhelela ke go raya ke re o boe, ka gore Kgosi Herode o tsile go leka go bolaya ngwana.”
Awo abagezigezi bwe baamala okugenda, malayika wa Mukama n’alabikira Yusufu mu kirooto n’amugamba nti, “Golokoka oddusize Omwana ne nnyina e Misiri, mubeere eyo okutuusa lwe ndibalagira okudda. Kubanga Kerode ajja kunoonya Omwana ng’ayagala okumutta.”
14 E rile mo bosigong joo a ya Egepeto le Marea le losea,
Ekiro ekyo n’asituka n’atwala Omwana ne nnyina e Misiri.
15 mme a nna teng koo go fitlhelela Kgosi Herode aa swa. Mo ga diragatsa polelelopele ya moporofiti e e reng, “ke biditse morwaake go tswa mo Egepeto.”
Ne babeera eyo okutuusa Kerode bwe yafa. Mukama kye yayogerera mu nnabbi we ne kituukirira, bwe yagamba nti: “Nayita Omwana wange okuva mu Misiri.”
16 Herode o na a tlala bogale fa a lemoga gore balepi ba dinaledi ga ba a dira ka fa a ba laetseng ka teng. Mme a roma masole kwa Bethelehema go bolaya ngwana mongwe le mongwe wa mosimane go simolola ka wa dingwaga tse pedi go ya kwa tlase mo motsing le mo tikologong yotlhe ka gore balepi ba dinaledi ba ne ba mmoleletse gore naledi e sale e bonala mo dingwageng tse pedi tse di fetileng.
Kerode bwe yalaba ng’Abagezigezi banyoomye ekiragiro kye, n’asunguwala nnyo, n’atuma abaserikale e Besirekemu ne mu byalo byakyo batte abaana bonna aboobulenzi ab’emyaka ebiri n’abatannagiweza, ng’asinziira ku bbanga abagezigezi lye baali bamutegeezeza mwe baalabira emmunyeenye.
17 Tiragalo e e setlhogo e ya ga Herode, ya diragatsa polelelopele ya ga Jeremia e e reng,
Awo ekigambo nnabbi Yeremiya kye yayogera ne kiryoka kituukirira ng’agamba nti,
18 “Selelo sa khutsafalo sa utlwala se tswa Rama, selelo sa khutsafalo e kgolo; ragele a lelela bana ba gagwe; a gana go gomodiwa ka gobo ba sule.”
“Eddoboozi lyawulirwa mu Laama, okukuba emiranga n’okukungubaga okunene, nga Laakeeri akaabira abaana be, nga tewakyali asobola kumuwooyawooya, kubanga bonna baweddewo.”
19 E rile Herode a sena go swa, moengele wa Modimo a bonala ka toro kwa go Josefa mo Egepeto, mme a mo raya a re,
Kerode bwe yamala okufa malayika wa Mukama n’alabikira Yusufu mu kirooto e Misiri,
20 “Tloga o tseye ngwana le mmaagwe o boele nabo kwa Iseraele, ka gore ba ba neng ba leka go bolaya ngwana ba sule.”
n’amugamba nti, “Golokoka ozzeeyo Omwana ne nnyina mu Isirayiri, kubanga abaali baagala okutta Omwana bafudde.”
21 Mme ka bofefo a boela kwa Iseraele le Jesu le mmaagwe.
Yusufu n’asitukiramu n’azzaayo Omwana ne nnyina mu nsi ya Isirayiri.
22 Mme e rile mo tseleng a boifa fa a utlwa gore Kgosi e ncha ke Arekelao morwa Herode. Mme ya re ka toro e nngwe a tlhagisiwa gore a seka a ya Judea, jalo a ya Galalea;
Naye bwe yatuuka mu kkubo n’atya nnyo bwe yawulira nga Alukerawo mutabani wa Kerode ye yali alidde obwakabaka. Mukama n’amulabulira nate mu kirooto aleme kugenda Buyudaaya, bw’atyo n’alaga e Ggaliraaya
23 ba nna mo Nasaretha. Mo, ga diragatsa seporofeso sa baporofiti kaga Mesia se se reng, “O tlaa bidiwa Monasara”.
n’atuuka mu kibuga ky’e Nazaaleesi, ne babeera omwo. Ebigambo bya bannabbi bye baayogera biryoke bituukirire nga bagamba nti: “Aliyitibwa Munnazaaleesi.”
