Na aarĩkia gwĩta athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene othe, na arutani a watho hamwe, akĩmooria kũrĩa Kristũ aarĩ aciarĩrwo.

7 Ɔhene Herode frɛɛ anyansafo no kokoa mu bisaa wɔn bere pɔtee a wohuu nsoromma no. Ɔtoaa so ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
Nake Herode agĩĩta andũ acio Oogĩ-a-Njata na hitho, na agĩtuĩria kuuma kũrĩ o ihinda rĩrĩa njata ĩyo yoonekete.
8 “Monkɔ Betlehem nkɔhwehwɛ abofra no. Sɛ muhu no a, mommɛka nkyerɛ me, na me nso menkɔsom no bi.”
Akĩmatũma Bethilehemu akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũgatuĩrie wega ũhoro wa kaana kau. Mwarĩkia gũkoona mũũke mũũmenyithie, nĩgeetha o na niĩ thiĩ ngagaturĩrie ndu ndĩkahooe.”

19 Herode wu akyi no, Awurade bɔfo yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Yosef wɔ dae mu wɔ Misraim ka kyerɛɛ no se,
Na rĩrĩ, Herode akua-rĩ, mũraika wa Mwathani akiumĩrĩra Jusufu kĩroto-inĩ kũu Misiri,
