3 Mambo Herodhi akati achinzwa izvi, akatambudzika kwazvo pamwe chete neJerusarema rose.
Da Sarki Hiridus ya ji wannan, sai hankalinsa ya tashi haka ma na dukan Urushalima.

“‘Amma ke Betlehem, a cikin ƙasar Yahuda, ba ke ce mafi ƙanƙanta a cikin masu mulki a Yahuda ba, gama daga cikinki mai mulki zai zo, wanda zai zama makiyayin mutanena Isra’ila.’”
7 Ipapo Herodhi akadana Vachenjeri pakavanda akavabvunzisisa nguva chaiyo yainge yaonekwa nyeredzi.
Sai Hiridus ya kira Masanan nan a ɓoye, yă gano daga wurinsu daidai lokacin da tauraron ya bayyana.
8 Akavatuma kuBheterehema akati, “Endai mundotsvakisisa mwana uyu. Kana muchinge mamuwana, mugondizivisawo kuitira kuti neniwo ndigoenda kundomunamata.”
Sai ya aike su Betlehem ya ce, “Ku je ku binciko a hankali game da yaron nan. Da kun same shi, sai ku kawo mini labari nan da nan, domin ni ma in je in yi masa sujada.”
9 Mushure mokunge vanzwa zvainge zvataurwa naMambo, vakapfuurira mberi norwendo rwavo, uye nyeredzi yavakanga vaona kumabvazuva yakavatungamirira kusvikira yandomira panzvimbo paiva nomwana.
Bayan sun saurari sarki, sai suka kama hanyarsu, tauraron da suka gani a gabas kuwa yana tafe a gabansu, sai da ya kai inda yaron yake.

12 Uye vakati vayambirwa mukurota kuti vasadzokera nokuna Herodhi, vakadzokera kwavo neimwe nzira.
Bayan an gargaɗe su cikin mafarki kada su koma wurin Hiridus, sai suka koma ƙasarsu ta wata hanya dabam.
13 Zvino kuzoti vaenda, mutumwa waShe akazviratidza kuna Josefa mukurota, akati, “Kurumidza kutora mwana namai vake mutizire kuIjipiti. Mugareko kusvikira ndakuudzai, nokuti Herodhi achatsvaka mwana uyu kuti amuuraye.”
Bayan sun tafi, sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Yusuf a mafarki ya ce, “Tashi, ka ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa, ku gudu zuwa Masar. Ku zauna a can sai na gaya muku, gama Hiridus zai nemi yaron don yă kashe.”
14 Saka akabva amuka ndokutora mwana namai vake usiku akatizira kuIjipiti,
Sai Yusuf ya tashi, ya ɗauki yaron da mahaifiyarsa da dad dare suka tafi Masar,
15 kwaakandogara kusvikira Herodhi afa. Saizvozvo zvakazadziswa zvakanga zvataurwa naShe kubudikidza nomuprofita achiti, “Ndakadana mwanakomana wangu kubva kuIjipiti.”

“An ji murya a Rama, tana kuka da makoki mai tsanani, Rahila ce take kuka domin’ya’yanta, an kāsa ta’azantar da ita, don ba su.”
19 Mushure mokufa kwaHerodhi, mutumwa waShe akazviratidza kuna Josefa muIjipiti mukurota
Bayan Hiridus ya mutu, sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana ga Yusuf a mafarki a Masar,
