Mateus 2

Vagalho kuli bwa kaaze ho keli

1 Yesu eeakhoike he muang’a wa Betilehemu, idi la Yudea, ka madamo Herode nee dilao, areakhoka bi, veiliishishe nhondwe kuli bwa kaaze ho keli vekahe Yerusalemu, 2 vekalhasu, "Eahale ka Dilao wa Vayahudi eakhoke? Kwaite twaiakho nhondwe kuu irealianya are bwa ho kaaze kelianya, tukalita tumuaresi." 3 Dilao Herode hawe na vahe vakhabuna va Yerusalemu vareako ka mburi, vekahiri he swaho kini. 4 Herode ekavase vagiru va muaresi, vahinya va miku yakwe Musa, ekavalhasu ite "Kiristo eneakhoka le?" 5 Niho vekamba, "Kiristo eneakhoka he muang’a wa Betilehemu he idi la Yudea. Kwaite nicho chigondiwe ni mroto wa Kiumbi ite.

6 Ari muang’a wa Betilehemu idi la Yudea,

Ari tumgitutu neri he miang’a iiliikishe ya Yudea,

Kwaite he ari heneli mgiru

Enevakaeti vahe gho Israeli."

7 Niho iji Herode ekavase kakera hu vahe veiliishe nh’ondwe, ekudumu kuila ite ni madamo mina veiakhoye ka nhondwe ikulijanya. 8 Niho ekavaba, "Soni Betilehemu mzelhasuisha mburi ja muinyi, naho mkunemuakho, mnibaye kalo na ani niso nire muaresi." 9 Dilao Herode areafiriti kuvaajia hu vapitu va nhondwe, ka vapitu va nhondwe vekahali ata vekaso. Ilai veaha kwalhi, watooto vekaiakho kahali hu nhondwe wahuuhu veeiakhoe bwa hodi kaaze keliia, naho ka ndondwe ikavakaeti sari to hodi hu muinyi ho eeaha ikauma. 10 Ka nhondwe ikavakaeti sari hodi eaha hu muinyi ikarauma ana. 11 Niho vekabuu minda, vekamuakho hu muinyi hawe ne Maria alhii kuu, vekama mamuro na kududukhu ilai vekumuaresi. Niho vekamuo vitumulilo vya zahabu na lubani na mkha mkulho wa vaing’i usewa marihamu. 12 Kiumbi ekavalhiija hemakhala ite vasikirii hakwe Herode, kwato vekagale kwa kwalhi hali.
