Matthew 2 (ZAJP)

1Yesu kavumbuka mkiwambo cha Betelehemu muisi ya Yudea, mkipigiti cha Mndewa Helode Mkulu. Na wanhu wali na ilimu ya nhondo kulawa haulawilo wa zua weza Yelusalemu,After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,

2wauza, “Kahalihi ayo yavumbuke giladi yawe mndewa wa Wayahudi? Kwavija tuyona nhondo yake haulawilo wa zua, avo twiza kumtambikila.”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.”

3Mndewa Helode viyahulike vino, kagaya ng'hani mmoyo, heyo hamoja na wanhu wose wa Yelusalemu.When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.

4Kawakema wakulu wa wakulu wa nhambiko na wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa, kawauza, “Halihi hondayaleligwe Kilisto?”And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.

5Wamwidika, “Mkiwambo cha Betelehemu muisi ya Yudea, kwavija vino vivo yandikigwe na muhokozi,“In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

6‘Na gweye, Betelehemu, uli muisi ya Yuda, huli mdodo hagatigati ya watawala wa isi ya Yuda, kwavija kulawa kumwako kolawilila mtawala yondayawalongoze wanhu zangu wa Islaeli.’ ”‘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.’”

7Abaho, Helode kawakema kinyele waja iwanhu wali na ilimu ya nhondo wamulongele kipigiti kija inhondo viyoneke.Then Herod called the Magi secretly and learned from them the exact time the star had appeared.

8Kawatuma wachole Betelehemu, yolonga, “Gendeni mkaziuzagize goya mbuli za mwana hiyo, na muhamona mnongele, giladi na nie nichole kumtambikila.”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.”

9Viwamambukize kumtegeleza mndewa, wachola, na ija inhondo iwakalile wayonile haulawilo wa dizua, iwalongola mbaka viimile hanhu hayakalile imwana.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.

10Viwaiwene inhondo, wadeng'helela ng'hani.When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight.

11Viwengile mng'anda, wamona imwana hamoja na mamaake Maliamu, wafugama mavindi na kumtambikila. Abaho, wafungula masanduku gao na kumgwelela nhunza za zahabu, ubane, na manemane.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.

12Mulungu kawazuma mnzozi kamba sambiwambwelele Helode. Avo wabweleganya muisi yao mkubitila nzila iyagwe.And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they withdrew to their country by another route.

13Viwacholile, msenga wa Mndewa wa kuulanga kamulawila Usufu mnzozi kalonga, “Lamuka, msole imwana na mamaake mkimbilile Misili. Kaleni hiko mbaka vondanikulongele, kwavija Helode kokwiza kumzahila imwana giladi yamkome.”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.”

14Avo Usufu kenuka, kamsola imwana na mamaake ikilo iija, kachola Misili,So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,

15ako kuyakalile mbaka Helode viyadanganhike. Giladi kamba gavikile gaja galongigwe na Mndewa kubitila muhokozi, “Nimkema Mwanangu kulawa Misili.”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.”

16Helode viyawene kamba kavwiziligwa na iwanhu wali na ilimu ya nhondo, kagevuzika ng'hani. Kalagiza kamba wana wose wa kimbigalo wa kiwambo cha Betelehemu na ng'ambu zake zose, wali na milao mibili kwiza hasi wakomigwe, songela viyalongeligwe na waja iwanhu wali na ilimu ya nhondo mmbuli za ija inhondo kipigiti viilawilile.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.

17Abaho, gavikila gaja galongigwe na muhokozi Yelemia,Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:

18“Dizwi dihulikwa ako Lama, kililo na giogio kulu. Laheli kowalilila wanage, halonda kuhembekezwa, kwavija wahaduhu.”“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.”

19Mndewa Helode viyadanganhike, msenga wa Mndewa wa kuulanga kamulawila Usufu mnzozi ako MisiliAfter Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.

20kalonga, “Lamuka, msole imwana na mamaake, uchole muisi ya Islaeli, kwavija wose walondile kumkoma imwana wadanganhika.”“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.”

21Avo Usufu kenuka, kamsola imwana na mamaake, na kubwela muisi ya Islaeli.So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and went to the land of Israel.

22Ila Usufu viyahulike kamba Alikelao iyo mtawala wa Yudea kasola hanhu ha tataake Mndewa Helode Mkulu, kadumba kuchola hiko. Na heyo viyazumigwe mnzozi, kanyelenhukila kuisi ya Galilaya.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,

23Kachola, kakala mkiwambo kikemigwe Nazaleti, giladi gavikile gaja galongigwe na wahokozi, “Kokemigwa Mnazaleti.”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.”
