Matthew 2 (HWO)

1Akwasamadɗi nggǝt nanda Yeeso a Mbaitalami ahu chehweed Yahudiya, a thlakh mbed kutǝryid Hirdus, ɓagha fasǝngya a Urshelima ɓa a man kyad yanfaara ɓa.After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,

2Tsakh mee nda, “Ai wanɗi nggǝt nanda kutǝr Yahudaya? Na ɗan wufǝlngarghǝn a man kyad yanfaara, ɓa nan ɓa ka a tǝrang shilee nan in.”asking, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”

3Hǝrǝmna kutǝra Hirdus sǝkƙǝn kee, ɓillagha kaan, heu tǝ nafiya Urshelima.When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.

4Tǝrgha wumanggǝn mamngya firistaya ɓa, tǝ fasǝngya ngyakhrha Musa, tsahang mee nǝn kanda, “A yanggi na nda a nggǝt Ƙǝrǝsti?”And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.

5Ndang ngganda, “Ahu tal Mbaitalami hu chehweed Yahudiya, ƙǝsǝr chirethlengga annabi hai kee tǝ ndaarha:“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

6‘Amma sa ƙǝm Mbaitalami na hu chehweed Yahudiya, ƙǝɗiwa ahur kutǝryid wupǝriya Yahuda wa. Ƙǝsǝr a fadwa na kutǝra a kyarha ɓa, nǝn a tsaurha tǝ lafrha nafina Isǝreela.’ ”‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of My people Israel.’”

7Tǝrgha Hirdus aah fasǝnggina nǝn ɓa ɓǝɓee, tsahang mee nǝn kanda sayidɗi na nanda wufǝlngarɗi.Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had appeared.

8Thlǝn kanda nǝn Mbaitalami ɗǝ ndanggǝn kanda, “Ɗama ɗǝ ɗun sǝye laɓar wanɗa ɓa ya tǝ sammayirha. A walangɗun, ɓamaɓa ɓun pǝreƙǝn nggima ɗiyaɗǝ ɗi tǝrang shilee teena.”And sending them to Bethlehem, he said: “Go and search carefully for the Child, and when you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship Him.”

9A kwasamadɗi sǝk nanda laɓarɗi ki kutǝra, thlii nda wii fayindan nda. Wufǝlngarɗi ˈwa nanda narha a man kyad yanfaara ɓa nagha a mbendan ɗǝgha isha a mbǝɗi na wanɗa sǝ.After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stood over the place where the Child was.

10Na nanda wufǝlngarɗi tǝk mbǝnda nda fa kaan.When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.

11Kyana nda mindǝɗa hai, na wanɗa nda tǝ man Mairamu, ɓǝra nda hai tǝrang shilee nda teena. Tǝrgha inang ngganda yawayindan ɗǝ fǝrang tǝfaasa nda tǝ urdi tǝ mur.On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.

12Yanang ngganda kanda ahu sǝsǝniirha a wunda tǝ thlǝmad Hirdus wa, nanǝn kee wuɗa nda tal ndan ɗǝ tǝ kwamana pak.And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.

13A kwasamadɗi wiina fasǝnggini, tǝrgha tǝthlǝnda Chinǝm ɓagha thlǝmad Yisufu ɓa hu sǝsǝniirha ndanggǝn, “Thliusǝ, tǝrang wanɗi tǝ man ɗaana tǝ kanda a Masar ɗǝ. Tsawama a mbǝɗi ƙǝl a pǝrang ɗi ndǝn kun, ƙǝsǝr Hirdus nǝn a kaɗa wanɗi a ɓǝlanggǝn.”When the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”

14Tǝrgha thliigha sǝ tǝranggǝn wanɗi tǝ man a fǝɗigɗi wiigha Masar ɗǝ.So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,

15Tsawa nda a mbǝɗi ƙǝl merna Hirdus. Ənɗiya katǝra nǝn hai ka a lǝɗang ngganda ǝnɗi ndaana Chinǝm a mii annabi, “Aah yi waana ɓa a Masar.”where he stayed until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”

16Ƙǝlana na Hirdus hai fasǝnggini na a man kyad fara ɓa pǝpǝlǝk ndan hai, sǝbgha hurghǝn ɗǝ kaan. Thlǝnanggǝn sodjaya ɗǝ a ɓǝlangganda wangya hǝshya ɗǝ na nggu-ngguchit a Mbaitalami tǝ tulayighǝn, sǝlna hura yindan sǝri tǝ fingya sǝlwawa, mǝmǝlla sayidɗi pǝrangna fasǝnggini kyana wufǝlngarɗa ɓa.When Herod saw that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was filled with rage. Sending orders, he put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, according to the time he had learned from the Magi.

17Tǝrgha ˈya thlǝkna annabi Djermiya lǝghǝdɗǝ:Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:

18“Sǝkɗǝm huhwaarha a Ramah, tǝrha tǝ thlee hura, Rachal a tǝrha ka wanggighǝn karɗǝ nggabrha fa, ƙǝsǝr mǝr wanggighǝn ɗǝ.”“A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”

19A kwasamadɗi mǝrna Hirdus, tǝrgha tǝthlǝnda Chinǝm kyad fadghǝnǝn a Yisufu hu sǝsǝniirha a Masar,After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.

20ndanggǝn, “Thliusǝ tǝrang wanɗiya tǝ man wuɗana chehweed Isǝreela ɗǝ, ƙǝsǝr nafini na a kaɗa yiɓǝd wanɗi mǝr nda ɗǝ.”“Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, for those seeking the Child’s life are now dead.”

21Tǝrgha Yisufu thliigha sǝ, tǝranggǝn wanɗi tǝ man wuɗa nda chehweed Isǝreela ɗǝ.So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and went to the land of Israel.

22Amma sǝknǝn wan Hirdus, Arkilus ni hu tsǝnggam chin, a ǝna kutǝryirha a chehweed Yahuda, tǝrǝm ɗǝrha nǝn mbǝɗaɗǝ. Yanangganda hu sǝsǝniirha a ɗǝɗa ɗǝ wa, tǝrgha kyalthgha chehweed Nggalili ɗǝ.But when he learned that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee,

23Ɗǝgha tsaurha ahu tala na nda aarha Nadzarat, lǝghǝdgha ˈya thlǝkna annabiya: “Na nda aaghǝn Tǝnadzarat.”and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
