2 uye vakabvunza vakati, “Aripiko uyo achangoberekwa anova mambo wavaJudha? Takaona nyeredzi yake kumabvazuva, uye tauya kuzomunamata.”
“Wina kuhi yava zalwa simwine wa Majuda? kakuti twavona inkani yakwe kuvuzwe bwe zuva, twakeza kukumu fukamina”.
3 Mambo Herodhi akati achinzwa izvi, akatambudzika kwazvo pamwe chete neJerusarema rose.
Simwine Heroda hazuwa catiya ahulu mane nivantu vamwa Jerusalema vonse.
4 Kuzoti akokera pamwe chete vaprista navadzidzisi vomutemo, akavabvunza kwaizoberekerwa Kristu.
Heroda ca supa ma Purisita vonse ni vañoli va mulao mi cava vuza nati, “Kriste uswanela kuzalilwa kuhi”?
5 Vakapindura vachiti, “MuBheterehema reJudhea nokuti izvi ndizvo zvakanyorwa nomuprofita achiti:
Civamuco kuti Mwa Bethelehema wa Judea, kakuti muvava ñoleli va porofita,
6 “Asi iwe Bheterehema, munyika yeJudhea hausi muduku pamadzimambo ose aJudha, nokuti mauri muchabuda mutongi uyo achava mufudzi wavanhu vangu vaIsraeri.”
Iwe, Bethelehema, mwinkanda ya Juda, kana umunini kuvayendisi va Juda, mukuzwe muyendisi yete a alise cisi ca Isilaele”.
7 Ipapo Herodhi akadana Vachenjeri pakavanda akavabvunzisisa nguva chaiyo yainge yaonekwa nyeredzi.
Cwale Heroda ca sumpila va litutite kumbali nikuva vuza kuti inkani yavoneka inakonzi luli.
8 Akavatuma kuBheterehema akati, “Endai mundotsvakisisa mwana uyu. Kana muchinge mamuwana, mugondizivisawo kuitira kuti neniwo ndigoenda kundomunamata.”
Cavatuma kwa Bethelehema nikuvata kuti “muyende mukasakisise ce ntokomero muhwile, cimwaka muwana, zemuniizibise name zeniyende nikamu fukamine.”
9 Mushure mokunge vanzwa zvainge zvataurwa naMambo, vakapfuurira mberi norwendo rwavo, uye nyeredzi yavakanga vaona kumabvazuva yakavatungamirira kusvikira yandomira panzvimbo paiva nomwana.
Havamana kuzuwa kwa simwine, civaliyendeza mi inkani ivava voni kuvuzwezuva ciyava yenda kuvusu nikuka zimaninina hewulu lye civaka mwa vali kwikere mucice.
10 Pavakaona nyeredzi, vakafara kwazvo.

11 Vakati vasvika pamba apa, vakaona mwana namai vake Maria, uye vakakotamira pasi vakamunamata. Vakasunungura pfuma yavo vakapa zvipo zvegoridhe, nezvinonhuhwira nemura.
Habenjila mwinzuvo civa vona mucice nena ni Maria nyina. Civa fukama nikumu lapera. Civavungununa cifumu cavo nikumuha impo ze gauda, ni insense, ni mira.
12 Uye vakati vayambirwa mukurota kuti vasadzokera nokuna Herodhi, vakadzokera kwavo neimwe nzira.
Ireza cava kalimera muciloto kuti sanzi vaboli kwa Heroda, mi civavola kwi nkanda yavo cenzila ingi.
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.”
Hava yenda, iñiroi lye Ireza cilye zira Josefa kwi ñonzi mi cilyati, “vuke uhinde mucice niva nyina, mutirire kwa Egepita, muke kale kwateni kusikira hete nini kuwambile, kakuti Heroda mwasake mucice kuti a mwi haye.”
14 Saka akabva amuka ndokutora mwana namai vake usiku akatizira kuIjipiti,
A o masiku Josefa cavuka nikuhinda muhwire niva nyina niku tilira kwa Egepita.
15 kwaakandogara kusvikira Herodhi afa. Saizvozvo zvakazadziswa zvakanga zvataurwa naShe kubudikidza nomuprofita achiti, “Ndakadana mwanakomana wangu kubva kuIjipiti.”
ava kekali kwa Egepita kusikira he fu lya Heroda. Ici ci be zuzilizi civa wambwa nji Ireza camu porofita, “kuzwa mwa Egepita niva sumpi mwangu wo muswisu.”
16 Kuzoti Herodhi aziva kuti vachenjeri vaya vainge vamunzvenga, akashatirwa kwazvo, ndokubva arayira kuti vana vechikomana vose vaiva muBheterehema nomunzvimbo yakapoteredza vaiva namakore maviri zvichidzika vaurayiwe, maererano nenguva yaakanga audzwa naVachenjeri.
Cwale Heroda havona kuti vakwame va litutite vavamucengi, cavenga ahulu. avatumini vantu kuti vake haye vahwile vonse veciswisu mwa Bethelehema, mane nimucilalo conse civehaya vahwile ve zilimo zo vere kuzwa hakuzalwa kuvoza hansi, cokuya ce inako yava lakalezi kuzwa havava mu wambilili va kwame va litutite.
17 Ipapo zvakarehwa kubudikidza nomuprofita Jeremia zvakazadziswa, zvinoti:
Mi cikwalizuziliza civa wambiwa ca muporofita Jeremia,
18 “Inzwi rakanzwikwa muRama rokuchema nokuungudza kukuru, Rakeri achichema vana vake, uye achiramba kunyaradzwa nokuti havachipo.”
“Linzwi li vazuweki mwa Rammah, cililo ni kuvokolola kukando, Rahele ulilira vana vakwe ukana mane nikutontozwa kakuti kavasikwina.”
19 Mushure mokufa kwaHerodhi, mutumwa waShe akazviratidza kuna Josefa muIjipiti mukurota
Hafwa Heroda, Ingiloi lya Ireza cilyeza kuvoneka kwa Josefa muciloto mwa Egepita ni kumuta,
20 akati, “Tora mwana namai vake mudzokere kunyika yeIsraeri nokuti vaya vaida kuuraya mwana vakafa.”
Vuke hinde mwana niva nyina mi uyende kwi nkanda ya Isilaele, kakuti vavali kusaka kwi haya mucice ci vavafwi.”
21 Saka akasimuka akatora mwana namai vake akaenda kunyika yeIsraeri.
Josefa ca vuka ni kuhinda muhwire niva nyina civeza mwinkanda ya Isilaere.
22 Asi paakanzwa kuti Akerasi akanga otonga muJudhea panzvimbo yababa vake Herodhi, akatya kuendako. Akati ayambirwa mukurota, akabva aenda kudunhu reGarirea,
kono hazuwa kuti Arkelausi avali ku vusa mwa Judea ha cipula cesi Heroda, ava tiyi kuya kwateni. mi Ireza camukalimera muciloto, cayenda kwi nkanda ya Galileya
23 uye akaenda akandogara muguta rainzi Nazareta. Izvi zvakabva zvazadzisa zvakarehwa kubudikidza navaprofita zvichinzi, “Achanzi muNazareta.”
