3Yare ha kgosi Heroda a utlwa, a ferekana hammoho le ba Jerusalema kaofela, 4mme hoba a bokelle baprista ba baholo bohle le Ditsebi tsa Molao tsa setjhaba, a ba botsa moo Kreste a loketseng ho tswallwa teng. 5Ba re ho yena: “Betlelehema e Judea, hobane ho ngotswe jwalo ke moporofeta, ha a re:

ha o monyenyane
hara batsamaisi ba Juda,
hobane ho wena ho tla tswa
motsamaisi ya tla alosa Iseraele,

7Yaba Heroda o bitsa Ba Bohlale bao ka lekunutu, a ba botsisisa nako eo naledi e hlahileng ka yona, 8a nto ba romela Betlelehema, a re: “Eyang, le batlisise tsa ngwana ka hloko; ere ha le se le mo fumane, le ntsebise, le nna ke tle ke yo mo kgumamela.”
9Yare hoba ba utlwe puo ya kgosi ba tsamaya, mme naledi eo ba e boneng e hlaha ya ba etella pele ho fihlela e ema hodima moo ngwana a neng a le hona teng. 10Jwale ha ba bona naledi ba thaba haholo. 11Ha ba fihla ka tlung, ba bona ngwana le mmae Maria; ba itihela fatshe, mme ba kgumamela ngwana, ba nto bula matlole a bona, ba mo nyehella ka dimpho: kgauta, mokubetso, le mmira. 12Hoba ba lemoswe torong hore ba se ke ba boela ho Heroda, ba kgutlela naheng ya habo bona ka tsela esele.
