< Mateo 2 >
1 Ɛberɛ a Ɔhene Herode di adeɛ no na wɔwoo Yesu wɔ Betlehem a ɛwɔ Yudea.
Zvino Jesu wakati aberekwa muBhetirehemu reJudhiya, pamazuva aHerodhe mambo, tarira, kwakauya vachenjeri vachibva kumabvazuva kuJerusarema,
2 Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu na anyansafoɔ bi firi apueeɛ baa Yerusalem bɛbisaa sɛ, “Ɛhe na Yudafoɔ ɔhene a wɔawo no no wɔ? Yɛhunuu ne nsoromma wɔ apueeɛ nohoa enti na yɛaba sɛ yɛrebɛsom no.”
vachiti: Uripi iye wakazvarwa Mambo weVaJudha? Nokuti taona nyeredzi yake kumabvazuva, tauya kuzomunamata.
3 Ɔhene Herode tee saa asɛm yi no, ɛhaa nʼadwene yie. Saa ara nso na ɛhaa Yerusalemfoɔ nyinaa adwene.
Zvino Herodhe mambo wakati anzwa, akashushikana, neJerusarema rese naye.
4 Ɔhene Herode frɛɛ ɔman no mu asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ bɛhyiaeɛ. Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛhefa na wɔbɛwo Kristo no?”
Zvino wakati aunganidza vapristi vakuru vese nevanyori vevanhu, akabvunza kwavari kuti Kristu uchazvarirwa kupi.
5 Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Betlehem a ɛwɔ Yudea. Na yei ne deɛ odiyifoɔ no kaeɛ:
Zvino vakati kwaari: MuBhetirehemu reJudhiya; nokuti zvakanyorwa saizvozvi nemuporofita zvichinzi:
6 “‘Ao kuro Betlehem, wo a wonyɛ akumaa wɔ Yuda asafohene mu, wo mu na mɛyi deɛ ɔbɛdi me ɔman Israel anim afiri.’”
Newe Bhetirehemu nyika yaJudha, hausi mudikisa kuvatongi vaJudha; nokuti kwauri kuchabuda mutungamiriri, achafudza vanhu vangu Israeri.
7 Ɔhene Herode frɛɛ anyansafoɔ no kɔkoam bisaa wɔn ɛberɛ pɔtee a wɔhunuu nsoromma no. Ɔtoaa so ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
Zvino Herodhe, wakati adana vachenjeri muchivande, akabvunzisisa kwavari nguva yakaonekwa nyeredzi.
8 “Monkɔ Betlehem nkɔhwehwɛ abɔfra no. Sɛ mohunu no a, mommɛka nkyerɛ me, na me nso menkɔsom no bi.”
Akavatuma kuBhetirehemu, akati: Endai munobvunzisisa zvemucheche; kana mamuwana mundisume, kuti ini ndiuyewo ndimunamate.
9 Anyansafoɔ no tiee ɔhene no asɛm no wieeɛ no, wɔkɔeɛ. Wɔrekɔ no, nsoromma a wɔhunuu wɔ apueeɛ no sane yii ne ho adi bio kyerɛɛ wɔn. Ɛdii wɔn anim kɔsii beaeɛ a wɔawo abɔfra no wɔ Betlehem hɔ.
Vakati vanzwa mambo, vakabva; zvino tarira, nyeredzi yavakaona kumabvazuva yakavatungamirira, kusvikira yasvika ikamira pamusoro pepakange pane mucheche.
10 Ɛberɛ a wɔhunuu nsoromma no no, wɔn ani gyee mmoroso.
Vakati vaona nyeredzi vakafara nemufaro mukuru kwazvo.
11 Wɔduruu efie a abɔfra no ne ne maame Maria wɔ no, wɔkoto sɔree no. Wɔde wɔn akyɛdeɛ a ɛyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ, aduhwam ne kurobo yɛɛ no ayɛ.
Vakati vapinda mumba, vakaona mucheche naMaria mai vake, vakawira pasi vakamunamata; zvino vakati vazarura fuma yavo, vakamupemberera nezvipo, goridhe, nezvipfungaidzo zvinonhuhwira, nemura.
12 Onyankopɔn soo wɔn daeɛ bɔɔ wɔn kɔkɔ sɛ wɔnnsane nkɔ Herode nkyɛn bio wɔ Yerusalem. Enti wɔfaa ɛkwan foforɔ so kɔɔ wɔn kurom.
Vakati vanyeverwa naMwari muchiroto, kuti varege kudzokera kuna Herodhe, vakabva vakaenda kunyika yavo neimwe nzira.
13 Anyansafoɔ no kɔeɛ akyiri no, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ soo Yosef daeɛ sɛ, “Sɔre fa abɔfra no ne ne maame na monkɔ Misraim nkɔtena hɔ nkɔsi sɛ mɛkyerɛ mo ɛberɛ a mobɛsane aba. Ɛfiri sɛ, Ɔhene Herode rehwehwɛ abɔfra no akum no.”
Vakati vaenda, tarira, mutumwa waIshe anoonekwa kuna Josefa muchiroto, achiti: Muka utore mucheche namai vake, utizire kuEgipita, uveko kusvikira ndichikuudza; nokuti Herodhe achatsvaka mucheche kuti amuparadze.
14 Anadwo no ara, Yosef faa abɔfra no ne Maria siim kɔɔ Misraim,
Zvino amuka wakatora mucheche namai vake usiku, akabva akaenda kuEgipita,
15 na wɔtenaa hɔ kɔsii sɛ Ɔhene Herode wuiɛ. Yei na ɛmaa deɛ Awurade nam odiyifoɔ no so kaeɛ sɛ, “Mafrɛ me Ba afiri Misraim” no baa mu.
uye wakavako kusvikira pakufa kwaHerodhe; kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIshe nemuporofita, achiti: Ndakadana mwanakomana wangu abude muEgipita.
16 Herode hunuu sɛ anyansafoɔ no adaadaa no no, ne bo fuu mmoroso. Ɔsomaa nʼasraafoɔ sɛ wɔnkɔ Betlehem ne nkuro a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa mu nkɔkunkum mmadoma mmarimaa kɔsi wɔn a wɔadi mfeɛ mmienu so, sɛdeɛ anyansafoɔ no ɛberɛ a wɔkaa sɛ wɔwoo abɔfra no wɔ mu no kyerɛ no.
Zvino Herodhe, wakati aona kuti anyengerwa nevachenjeri, akatsamwa zvikuru, akatuma, akauraya vana vese vaiva muBhetirehemu nemumigumo yaro yese, kubvira pamakore maviri neari pasi, zvichienderana nenguva yaakange abvunzisisa kuvachenjeri.
17 Deɛ wɔnam odiyifoɔ Yeremia so kaeɛ no baa mu sɛ,
Zvino zvakazadziswa zvakarehwa naJeremiya muporofita achiti:
18 “Wɔte nne bi wɔ Rama. Ɛyɛ osu ne agyaadwoɔ; Rahel resu ne mma; na ɔmpɛ sɛ wɔkyekyere ne werɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnte ase bio”.
MuRama rakanzwika inzwi, kuungudza nekuchema nekurira kukuru, Rakeri achichema vana vake asingadi kunyaradzwa, nokuti havachipo.
19 Herode wuiɛ akyiri no, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Yosef wɔ daeɛ mu wɔ Misraim ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,
Asi Herodhe wakati afa, tarira, mutumwa waIshe wakaonekwa muchiroto kuna Josefa muEgipita,
20 “Sɔre na fa abɔfra no ne ne maame kɔ Israel asase so, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn a wɔpɛɛ sɛ wɔkum abɔfra no awuwu.”
achiti: Muka, utore mucheche namai vake, uende kunyika yaIsraeri; nokuti vakafa avo vaitsvaka mweya wemucheche.
21 Yosef faa abɔfra no ne ne maame sane kɔɔ Israel asase so bio.
Akasimuka ndokutora mucheche namai vake akasvika kunyika yaIsraeri.
22 Yosef tee sɛ Arkelao a ɔyɛ Herode ba na ɔdi ɔhene wɔ Yudea saa ɛberɛ no mu no, ɔsuroo sɛ ɔbɛkɔ hɔ. Awurade sane soo no daeɛ foforɔ bio sɛ ɔnnkɔ Yudea, na mmom, ɔnkɔ Galilea.
Asi wakati achinzwa kuti Arikerawo anotonga muJudhiya panzvimbo yababa vake Herodhe, akatya kuendako; asi wakati anyeverwa naMwari muchiroto, akabva akaenda kumativi eGarirea.
23 Enti, wɔkɔtenaa kuro Nasaret mu. Yei nso maa deɛ adiyifoɔ no kaeɛ sɛ, “Wɔbɛfrɛ no Nasareni” no baa mu.
Akasvika akagara muguta rinonzi Nazareta; kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa nevaporofita, kuti: Achanzi muNazareta.
