Mateus 2

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."
