Mathewu 2
1Kwathi uJesu esezelwe eBetlehema laseJudiya emihleni kaHerode inkosi, bheka, kwafika eJerusalema izazi zivela empumalanga,
2besithi: Ungaphi ozelwe eyinkosi yamaJuda? ngokuba sibonile inkanyezi yakhe empumalanga, size ukukhuleka kuye.
3UHerode inkosi esekuzwile lokho wakhathazeka, neJerusalema lonke kanye naye.
4Wayesebutha bonke abapristi abakhulu nababhali besizwe, wababuza ukuthi uKristu uzakuzalelwaphi.
5Basebesithi kuye: EBetlehema laseJudiya, ngoba kulotshiwe kanje ngomprofethi ukuthi:
6Nawe, Betlehema ezweni lakwaJuda, awusiye omncinyane phakathi kwezikhulu zakwaJuda, ngokuba kuyakuvela kuwe uMbusi oyakubusa abantu bami u-Israyeli.
7Khona uHerode, ezibizile izazi ngasese, wabuzisisa kuzo isikhathi inkanyezi eyabonakala ngaso.
8Wazithuma eBetlehema, wathi: “Hambani nibuzisise ngomntwana; nxa senimtholile, ningitshele, ukuze nami ngize ngikhuleke kuye.
9Sebeyizwile inkosi, bahamba; bheka, inkanyezi ezayibona empumalanga yahamba phambi kwazo, yaze yafika yema phezu kwalapho umntwana ekhona.
10Kwathi beyibona inkanyezi, bathokoza ngentokozo enkulu kakhulu.
11Zase zingena endlini, zabona umntwana noMariya unina, zawa phansi, zakhuleka kuye; igolide, nenhlaka, nomure.
12Kwathi sezixwayisiwe nguNkulunkulu ephutsheni ukuthi zingabuyeli kuHerodi, zasuka zabuyela elizweni lakibo ngenye indlela.
13Kwathi sezimukile, khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuJosefa ngephupho, ithi: Vuka uthathe umntwana omncane lonina, ubalekele eGibhithe, uhlale khona ngize ngikubikele; izofuna umntwana omncane ukuba ambhubhise.
14Esevukile wathatha umntwana nonina ebusuku, wamuka waya eGibithe;
15Wahlala khona kwaze kwaba sekufeni kukaHerode, ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa yiNkosi ngomprofethi ukuthi: “Ngayibiza indodana yami iphume eGibithe.
16Khona uHerode, ebona ukuthi uklolodelwe yizazi, wathukuthela kakhulu; isikhathi ayebuzisise ngaso kwabahlakaniphileyo.
17Khona kwagcwaliseka okwakhulunywa ngomprofethi uJeremiya, ethi:
18Kwezwakala izwi eRama, ukulila nokukhala nokulila okukhulu, uRaheli ekhalela abantwana bakhe, engafuni ukududuzwa, ngokuba bengasekho.
19Kwathi esefile uHerodi, khangela, ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala ngephupho kuJosefa eGibhithe.
20ethi: “Vuka, uthabathe umntwana nonina, uye ezweni lakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba bafile ababefuna ukuphila komntwana;
21Wavuka-ke, wathatha umntwana nonina, weza ezweni lakwa-Israyeli.
22Kodwa esezwile ukuthi u-Arkelawu usebusa eJudiya esikhundleni sikaHerodi uyise, wesaba ukuya khona;
23Wafika wahlala emzini othiwa iNazaretha, ukuze kugcwaliseke okwakhulunywa ngabaprofethi ukuthi: “Uyakubizwa ngokuthi umNazaretha.
