Mateus 2

Wajenzi kulawa kolilawilaga isanya

1 Yesu nakapondigwa kuli muji wa Betelehemu, mkowa wa Yudeya mhela Helodi loyawele Mndewa. Baho du loyapondigwe, walola nhondwe kulawa kolilawilaga isanya nawoya Yelusalemu 2 nawauza, "Kakohi mwana yawele nakapondigwa leka yawe Mndewa wa Wayahudi? Natuyona nhondwe ya heye ilawile kolilawilaga isanya, ahyo natuya kumfugamila."

3 Mndewa Helodi loyahuliche mbuli ayo nakadeula ng’hatu na wanhu weng’ha wawele nawali Yelusalemu kahi nawadeula. 4 Lelo, nakawachema hamwe watambika wakulu na walangusa wa malajizo ga Musa na kuwauza, "Yesu Kilistu kopondigwa kohi?" 5 Nawo nawedichila, "Kuli muji wa Betelehemu uwele ako Yudeya. Nayandichigwa na mloli wa Nguluwi,

6 " ‘Gwa Betelehemu uwele kuli isi ya Yuda,

hauwele mdodo ng’hatu hali wanhu wa Yuda,

kwa vila kwa hegwe kolawa chilongozi,

yawele kowalongoza wanhu wa heni, Isilaeli.’ "

7 Ahyo, Helodi nakawachema wala walola nhondwe kwa uviso, nakawauza kuwala mhela uwele yila nhondwe nayoneka. 8 Hamba nakawalajiza Betelehemu yolonga, "Mlute mkampale mwana na wone mmone, muye kundonjela nani ndute ndikamfugamile."

9 Lowamhulichize mndewa, wala walola nhondwe nawaluta na yila nhondwe iwele nawayona kula kolilawilaga isanya naiwalongola, nawo nawaiwinza mbaka hala loyimile, honhu hoyawele mwana. 10 Lowaiwene yila nhondwe, nawasangalala lukami. 11 Lelo, nawenjila mng’handa, nawamona yula mwana hamwe na Maliya mayake, nawenamiza na wamfugamila. Hamba nawamha ndolendole za hewo zowegale, ziwele ndo zahabu na ubani na mafuta galinguguzigwa kwa sendi nyinji galinguchemigwa manemane.

12 Nguluwi nakawakanya kuli kulota kota waleche kuhiluka kwa Helodi, ahyo nawahiluka haluga ha hewo kwa kukolela nzila yinji.
