Jaana e rile Jesu a tsalelwa mo Bethelehema wa Jutea, mo metlheng ya kgosi Herote, bonang, banna ba ba botlhale ba ba tswang botlhabatsatsi ba fitlha mo Jerusalema ba re: “O fa kae yo o tsetsweng, Kgosi ya Bajuta? Gonne re bonye naledi ya gagwe re le kwa botlhabatsatsi, mme re tsile go mo obamela.” E rile kgosi Herote a utlwa jalo a fuduega, le motse otlhe wa Jerusalema nae. Mme a phutha baperesiti ba bagolo botlhe, le bakwaledi ba batho, a ba botsa kwa go tulweng Keresete o tlaa tsalelwa teng. Ba mo raya ba re: “Mo Bethelehema wa Jutea; gonne go kwadilwe jalo ke moperofeti a re: ‘Wena Bethelehema, lefatshe la Juta, ga o mmotlana gope mo magosaneng a Juta; gonne mo go wena go tlaa tswa molaodi, yo o tlaa nnang modisa wa batho ba me Baiseraele.’ ” Foo Herote a biletsa banna ba ba botlhale bao kwa thoko, a tlhotlhomisa go tlhaloganya mo go bone lobaka lo naledi e bonetseng ka lone. Mme a ba roma kwa Bethelehema a re: “Yang lo tlhotlhomise sentle ka ga ngwanyana yo; e re lo sena go mmona, lo tle go nkitsise, gore le nna ke ye go mo obamela.” Bone ya re ba sena go utlwa kgosi ba tsamaya; mme bonang, naledi e ba e bonyeng ba le kwa botlhabatsatsi, ya ba etelela pele, ya tsamaya ya fitlha ya ema e okame golo fa ngwanyana o leng teng. Ba re ba bona naledi ba itumela ka boitumelo jo bogolo thata. Ba fitlha ba tsena mo ntlong, ba bona ngwanyana a na le Maria mmaagwe; ba wela fa fatshe ba mo obamela; mme ba ntsha mahumo a bone, ba mo ntshetsa dineo: gouta, le malao a lebano le mura. Mme e ne ya re ka ba tlhagisitswe ke Modimo ka toro, gore ba se ka ba boela kwa go Herote, ba tsaya tsela e sele ba ya lefatsheng la ga bone.
