< Mateo 2 >

1 Mushure mokuberekwa kwaJesu muBheterehema reJudhea munguva yaMambo Herodhi, vachenjeri vaibva kumabvazuva vakasvika muJerusarema,
Baada ya Yesu apapwe Mubethelehem iya Huuyahudi hu nsiku izya mwene u Herode, abhantu bhebhazizye afume humashariki iya patali bhahafishile hu Yerusalemu bhahaga,
2 uye vakabvunza vakati, “Aripiko uyo achangoberekwa anova mambo wavaJudha? Takaona nyeredzi yake kumabvazuva, uye tauya kuzomunamata.”
“Ali hwoshi yapapilwe umwene wabhayahudi? Tahayilolile inzota ya humashariki nati tinzile humpute.”
3 Mambo Herodhi akati achinzwa izvi, akatambudzika kwazvo pamwe chete neJerusarema rose.
Umwene u Herode la ahumvwa iga ahalalamushe ni Yerusalemu youti peka nu mwene.
4 Kuzoti akokera pamwe chete vaprista navadzidzisi vomutemo, akavabvunza kwaizoberekerwa Kristu.
Uherode ahabhabhunginye agosi bhaadimi bhonti na asimbi bha bhantu, ahabhabhuzya, “Klisiti abhapapwe hwi?”
5 Vakapindura vachiti, “MuBheterehema reJudhea nokuti izvi ndizvo zvakanyorwa nomuprofita achiti:
Bhamuzya, “Hu Bethelehemu iya Huyahudi, ishi sheyahasimbilwe na akuwa,
6 “Asi iwe Bheterehema, munyika yeJudhea hausi muduku pamadzimambo ose aJudha, nokuti mauri muchabuda mutongi uyo achava mufudzi wavanhu vangu vaIsraeri.”
Naawe Bethelehemu, munsi iya Yuda, siga ndodo peka na alongozi abha hu Yuda, pipo afume huliwe abhahwinze umwene yahayibhadima abhantu bhani abha Israeli.”
7 Ipapo Herodhi akadana Vachenjeri pakavanda akavabvunzisisa nguva chaiyo yainge yaonekwa nyeredzi.
Isho u Herode ahabhakwizizye bhala abhazyi hu siri na hubhabhuzye aje habhalilizyo bhuli inzota iloleshe.
8 Akavatuma kuBheterehema akati, “Endai mundotsvakisisa mwana uyu. Kana muchinge mamuwana, mugondizivisawo kuitira kuti neniwo ndigoenda kundomunamata.”
Ahabhatuma hu Bethelehemu, ahaga, “Bhalaji na hwenyelezye mumwanze umwana ya papilwe. Nkemwanola mundetele ihabari aje nani nkininze humpute.”
9 Mushure mokunge vanzwa zvainge zvataurwa naMambo, vakapfuurira mberi norwendo rwavo, uye nyeredzi yavakanga vaona kumabvazuva yakavatungamirira kusvikira yandomira panzvimbo paiva nomwana.
Baada ya manye aje bhamwimvwizye umwene bhahendeliye ashule, ni mota ila yebhahayilolile humashariki yahabhalongoleye mpa lweyahimilila pala pa mwanya umwana ahapapilwe pansi yakwe.
10 Pavakaona nyeredzi, vakafara kwazvo.
Lwe bhahayilola inzota bhahashiye hani.
11 Vakati vasvika pamba apa, vakaona mwana namai vake Maria, uye vakakotamira pasi vakamunamata. Vakasunungura pfuma yavo vakapa zvipo zvegoridhe, nezvinonhuhwira nemura.
Bhahinjiye munyumba nahunole umwana yapapilwe nu Mariamu unyina wakwe. Bhamwinamiye na humpute. Bhahiguye ivintu vyabho nahumfumizye izawadi zyabho izahabu nu uvumba ni manemane.
12 Uye vakati vayambirwa mukurota kuti vasadzokera nokuna Herodhi, vakadzokera kwavo neimwe nzira.
U Ngulubhi ahabhasoshile mndoto aje bhasahawele hwa Herode, kwa hiyo bhahasoguye abhale hunsi yabho hwidala ilyinji.
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.”
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.
14 Saka akabva amuka ndokutora mwana namai vake usiku akatizira kuIjipiti,
Nunsiku u Yusufu ahadamusha na humweje umwana nu nyina wakwe ashimbilile Humisri.
15 kwaakandogara kusvikira Herodhi afa. Saizvozvo zvakazadziswa zvakanga zvataurwa naShe kubudikidza nomuprofita achiti, “Ndakadana mwanakomana wangu kubva kuIjipiti.”
Ahakhiye uhwo mpa u Herode nahafwa. Izi zyahafishiye shila Ungulubhi shahayinje ashilile hwa nkuwa, “Afume humisri inkwizizye mwana wani.”
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.
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.
17 Ipapo zvakarehwa kubudikidza nomuprofita Jeremia zvakazadziswa, zvinoti:
Pe twalibhombile izwi lila lyelyaha yangwilwe nukuwa u Yeremia,
18 “Inzwi rakanzwikwa muRama rokuchema nokuungudza kukuru, Rakeri achichema vana vake, uye achiramba kunyaradzwa nokuti havachipo.”
“Izi lyahimvwiha hu Ramah, impungo na zonde hani, u Raheli ahabhalililaga abhana bhakwe, na ahakhanile apumilizwe pipo abhana nabhamo.”
19 Mushure mokufa kwaHerodhi, mutumwa waShe akazviratidza kuna Josefa muIjipiti mukurota
U Herode lwa hafwa abhantumi bha Ngulubhi bhahamwinziye u Yusufu mutulo uhwo hu Misri na yanje.
20 akati, “Tora mwana namai vake mudzokere kunyika yeIsraeri nokuti vaya vaida kuuraya mwana vakafa.”
“Bhuha umweje umwa nu nyina wakwe mubhale hunsi iya hu Israeli pipo bhahanzaga uwumi wa mwana aje bhasahagoje.”
21 Saka akasimuka akatora mwana namai vake akaenda kunyika yeIsraeri.
U Yusufu ahimiliye, amwega umwana nu mayi wakwe, ahinza munsi iyamu Israeli.
22 Asi paakanzwa kuti Akerasi akanga otonga muJudhea panzvimbo yababa vake Herodhi, akatya kuendako. Akati ayambirwa mukurota, akabva aenda kudunhu reGarirea,
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,
23 uye akaenda akandogara muguta rainzi Nazareta. Izvi zvakabva zvazadzisa zvakarehwa kubudikidza navaprofita zvichinzi, “Achanzi muNazareta.”
ahabhalile akhale munsi yihwitwa Nazareti. Ili lyahatimiye hu zila zyezyahayangwilwe hwi dala lya kuwa aje bhasiakwizye Mnazareti.
