Matthew 2
1 Now when Yeshua was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
Mushure mokuberekwa kwaJesu muBheterehema reJudhea munguva yaMambo Herodhi, vachenjeri vaibva kumabvazuva vakasvika muJerusarema,
2 “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
uye vakabvunza vakati, “Aripiko uyo achangoberekwa anova mambo wavaJudha? Takaona nyeredzi yake kumabvazuva, uye tauya kuzomunamata.”
3 When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Mambo Herodhi akati achinzwa izvi, akatambudzika kwazvo pamwe chete neJerusarema rose.
4 Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Messiah would be born.
Kuzoti akokera pamwe chete vaprista navadzidzisi vomutemo, akavabvunza kwaizoberekerwa Kristu.
5 They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,
Vakapindura vachiti, “MuBheterehema reJudhea nokuti izvi ndizvo zvakanyorwa nomuprofita achiti:
6 ‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least amongst the princes of Judah; for out of you shall come a governor who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
“Asi iwe Bheterehema, munyika yeJudhea hausi muduku pamadzimambo ose aJudha, nokuti mauri muchabuda mutongi uyo achava mufudzi wavanhu vangu vaIsraeri.”
7 Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learnt from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Ipapo Herodhi akadana Vachenjeri pakavanda akavabvunzisisa nguva chaiyo yainge yaonekwa nyeredzi.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
Akavatuma kuBheterehema akati, “Endai mundotsvakisisa mwana uyu. Kana muchinge mamuwana, mugondizivisawo kuitira kuti neniwo ndigoenda kundomunamata.”
9 They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.
Mushure mokunge vanzwa zvainge zvataurwa naMambo, vakapfuurira mberi norwendo rwavo, uye nyeredzi yavakanga vaona kumabvazuva yakavatungamirira kusvikira yandomira panzvimbo paiva nomwana.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
Pavakaona nyeredzi, vakafara kwazvo.
11 They came into the house and saw the young child with Miriam, his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Vakati vasvika pamba apa, vakaona mwana namai vake Maria, uye vakakotamira pasi vakamunamata. Vakasunungura pfuma yavo vakapa zvipo zvegoridhe, nezvinonhuhwira nemura.
12 Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
Uye vakati vayambirwa mukurota kuti vasadzokera nokuna Herodhi, vakadzokera kwavo neimwe nzira.
13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
Zvino kuzoti vaenda, mutumwa waShe akazviratidza kuna Josefa mukurota, akati, “Kurumidza kutora mwana namai vake mutizire kuIjipiti. Mugareko kusvikira ndakuudzai, nokuti Herodhi achatsvaka mwana uyu kuti amuuraye.”
14 He arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt,
Saka akabva amuka ndokutora mwana namai vake usiku akatizira kuIjipiti,
15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
kwaakandogara kusvikira Herodhi afa. Saizvozvo zvakazadziswa zvakanga zvataurwa naShe kubudikidza nomuprofita achiti, “Ndakadana mwanakomana wangu kubva kuIjipiti.”
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learnt from the wise men.
Kuzoti Herodhi aziva kuti vachenjeri vaya vainge vamunzvenga, akashatirwa kwazvo, ndokubva arayira kuti vana vechikomana vose vaiva muBheterehema nomunzvimbo yakapoteredza vaiva namakore maviri zvichidzika vaurayiwe, maererano nenguva yaakanga audzwa naVachenjeri.
17 Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
Ipapo zvakarehwa kubudikidza nomuprofita Jeremia zvakazadziswa, zvinoti:
18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; she wouldn’t be comforted, because they are no more.”
“Inzwi rakanzwikwa muRama rokuchema nokuungudza kukuru, Rakeri achichema vana vake, uye achiramba kunyaradzwa nokuti havachipo.”
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Mushure mokufa kwaHerodhi, mutumwa waShe akazviratidza kuna Josefa muIjipiti mukurota
20 “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into Eretz-Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
akati, “Tora mwana namai vake mudzokere kunyika yeIsraeri nokuti vaya vaida kuuraya mwana vakafa.”
21 He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into Eretz-Israel.
Saka akasimuka akatora mwana namai vake akaenda kunyika yeIsraeri.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of Galilee,
Asi paakanzwa kuti Akerasi akanga otonga muJudhea panzvimbo yababa vake Herodhi, akatya kuendako. Akati ayambirwa mukurota, akabva aenda kudunhu reGarirea,
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets that he will be called a Nazarene.
uye akaenda akandogara muguta rainzi Nazareta. Izvi zvakabva zvazadzisa zvakarehwa kubudikidza navaprofita zvichinzi, “Achanzi muNazareta.”
