Mataayi 2
1 UYesu alyaholilue mu likaaja ilya Betelehemu, mu kighavo ikya yUdea, unsiki ghuno alyatemile umtwa uHelode. UYesu ye aholilue, avakaguzi va nhondue kuhuma kuvudibulo vakafika mu likaaja ilya Yelusalemu,
Kwathi uJesu esezelwe eBhethelehema yeJudiya, ensukwini zikaHerodi inkosi, khangela, kwafika izazi eJerusalema zivela empumalanga,
2 vakava viposi viiti, “Ali kuughi juno aholilue, uNtwa ghwa Vayahudi? Tujaghile inhondue jino jihufia kuholua kwa mwene jihumile kuvudibulo, fye nambe twisile kukumwimika.
zisithi: Ungaphi ozelwe eyinkosi yamaJuda? Ngoba sibonile inkanyezi yakhe empumalanga, njalo sesize ukumkhonza.
3 Untwa uHelode ye apuliike isio, akapumuka mu mwojo ghwake. Nava vaanhu vooni ava mu likaaja ilya Yelusalemu voope vakapumuka.
Ngakho uHerodi inkosi esezwile wakhathazeka, leJerusalema yonke kanye laye.
4 Pepano akakong'hania avavaha va vatekesi vooni palikimo na vavulanisi va ndaghilo akavaposisi akati, “Ukilisite iholua kuughi?”
Esebuthanisile bonke abapristi abakhulu lababhali babantu, wabuza kubo ukuthi uKristu uzazalelwa ngaphi.
5 Aveene vakamwamula vakati, “Iholua mu likaaja ilya Betelehemu, mu kighavo ikya Yudea. Tukagwile isio ulwakuava se sino alyalembile um'bili kuuti,
Basebesithi kuye: EBhethelehema yeJudiya; ngoba kulotshiwe ngokunjalo ngumprofethi ukuthi:
6 Na juuve ghwe likaaja lya a betelehemu, ghwe juno uli mu kighavo ikya Yudea, Nuli n'debe, mu makaaja agha mu Yudea! Ulwakuva mulyuve mwe muno ihuma umulongosi, juno iiva n'diimi ghwa vaanhu vango aVaisilaeli.”
Lawe, Bhethelehema, lizwe lakoJuda, kawusuye omncinyane lakanye phakathi kwababusi bakoJuda; ngoba kuzavela kuwe umbusi, ozakwelusa abantu bami uIsrayeli.
7 Pe uhelode akavakemeela ku vusyefu avakaguzi vala ava nhondue, kuuti vam'buule vunono unsinki ghuno vajaghile inhondue jila.
Khona uHerodi, esezibizile izazi ensitha, wabuzisisa kuzo isikhathi sokubonakala kwenkanyezi.
8 Pe akavasuug'ha ku Betelehemu, akavavuula akati, “Lutagha, muposelesie vunofu vwimila umwana ujuo. Mungamwalghe, mwisaghe ng'haning'haani mumbuule, neke na juune nilute kuskumwimika.”
Wasezithuma eBhethelehema wathi: Hambani libuzisise ngomntwana omncinyane; kuzakuthi nxa limtholile, libike kimi, ukuze lami ngiye ngimkhonze.
9 Avakagusi vala ava nhondue ye vapuliike amasio gha ntwa, vakavuuka viluta. Lolagha, inhondue jila jino vakajaghile kuvudibulo, jikavalongolela, voope vakava vikujivingilila kuhanga jikafika na kukwima pano pwealyale umwana,
Kwathi seziyizwile inkosi zasuka zahamba; njalo khangela, inkanyezi, ezayibona empumalanga, yahamba phambi kwazo, yaze yafika yema phezu kwalapho usane olwalukhona.
10 Ye vajaghile kange inhondue jila, vakahovoka kyongo.
Zathi ukuyibona inkanyezi zathokoza ngentokozo enkulu kakhulu.
11 Pe vakingila mu nyumba, vakamwagha umwana palikimo nu ng'ina uMaliya, vakafughama, vakamwimika. Vakavopola inyambe saave, vakambonola umwana, vakahumia: isahabu, uvufumba ni manemane ghano ghaale mafuta amanya lunuusi ulunono.
Zasezingena endlini, zabona usane kanye loMariya unina, zawela phansi zalukhonza, zavula impahla zazo eziligugu zalukhunga ngezipho, igolide lempepha lemure.
12 Unguluve akavapavila mu njosi kuuti, navangakililaghe kange kwa Helode. Pe vakakilila isila ijingi kugomoka ku likaaja lyave.
Kwathi sezilayiwe nguNkulunkulu ephutsheni ukuthi zingabuyeli kuHerodi, zasuka zabuyela elizweni lakizo ngenye indlela.
13 Avakagusi va nhondue ye valutile, unyamhola ghwa Mutwa akam'bonekela uYosefu mu njosi, akam'buula akati, “Sisimuka! Untoole umwana nu ng'ina, mkimbilile ku iisi ija Misili, ulwakuva uHelode ikumulonda umwana ujuo kuuti am'bude. Mukalaghe kula kuhanga unsiki ghuno kyanikuvavuula kuuti mugomoke.”
Kwathi sezisukile, khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi ibonakala kuJosefa ephutsheni, isithi: Vuka uthathe usane lonina, ubusubalekela eGibhithe, ube khona ngize ngikutshele; ngoba uHerodi uzaludinga usane, ukuze alubulale.
14 Ikilo jila jila uYosefu akasisimuka, akantoola umwana nu ng'ina, akakimbilila ku Misili.
Wavuka-ke wathatha usane lonina ebusuku wasuka waya eGibhithe,
15 Vakikala kula kuhanga kufika unsiki ghuno uHelode ifua. Uluo lulyavombiike kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila um'bili ghwake kuuti, “Nikankemelile umwanango kuhuma ku Misili.”
wasehlala khona kwaze kwaba yikufa kukaHerodi; ukuze kugcwaliswe okwakhulunywa yiNkosi ngomprofethi isithi: Ngiyibizile indodana yami iphume eGibhithe.
16 UHelode akakagula kuuti, avakagusi va nhondue vala vansyangile, akakalala fiijo. pe akavasuung'ha avaanhu ku Betelehemu na mu makaaja ghano ghalyale mulubale, kuuti vavabude avaana avadiimi vooni, kutegulila avafyele kufika avanya maaka ghavili. Akavomba uluo kuling'hana nu unsiki ghuno alyaposisie ku vakagusi va nhondue.
Kwathi uHerodi, esebonile ukuthi uphicwe yizazi, wathukuthela kakhulu, wathuma wabulala abantwana bonke ababeseBhethelehema lemingceleni yayo yonke, kusukela eminyakeni emibili langaphansi, njengesikhathi abebuzisise ngaso kuzazi.
17 Uluo lulyavombiike kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila um'bili ghwake uYelemia kuuti.
Kwasekugcwaliseka okwakhulunywa nguJeremiya umprofethi, ukuthi:
18 “Ilisio lipulikiike mu likaaja ilya Lama, avaanhu vikoola na kulila fiijo. Lisio lya Laheli, ikuvalilila avaana vaake,
Kwezwakala ilizwi eRama, ukukhala lokulila lokudabuka okukhulu, uRasheli elilela abantwana bakhe, njalo engavumi ukududuzwa, ngoba bengasekho.
19 Pambele uHelode akafua. UYosefu ye ajiighe ku Misili, unyamhola ghwa Mutwa akam'bonekela kange mu njosi.
Kodwa kwathi esefile uHerodi, khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala ephutsheni kuJosefa eGibhithe,
20 Akam'buula akati, “Sisimuka! Untoole umwana nu ng'ina, ugomoke mu iisi ija Isilaeli, ulwakuva vano valondagha kukum'buda umwana, vafwile.”
isithi: Vuka uthathe umntwana omncinyane lonina, uye elizweni lakoIsrayeli; ngoba sebefile ababedinga umphefumulo womntwana omncinyane.
21 Pepono uYosefu akasisimuka, akantoola umwana nu ng'ina, vakagomoka mu iisi ija Isilaeli.
Wavuka-ke wathatha umntwana omncinyane lonina wasefika elizweni lakoIsrayeli.
22 Neke ye apuliike kuuti uAlikelao ghwe juno ahaliile pa viise uHelode kutema ikighavo ikya Yudea, akoghopa piluta kula. Akapavilua mu njosi kuuti nangalutaghe ukuo, pe akaluta ku kighavo ikya Galilaya.
Kodwa esezwile ukuthi uAkelawu usebusa eJudiya esikhundleni sikaHerodi uyise, wesaba ukuya khona; kodwa esexwayisiwe nguNkulunkulu ephutsheni, wasuka waya kungxenye zeGalili,
23 Ukuo, akikala mu mu kikaaja ikya Nasaleti. Uluo, lulyavombiike kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila avavili kuuti, Itambulwagha Munasalete.”
wasefika wahlala emzini othiwa yiNazaretha; ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngabaprofethi ukuthi: Uzabizwa ngokuthi ngumNazaretha.
