¹Nak cuânk chok' rey laj Herodes, li Jesús quiyo'la aran Belén xcuênt Judea. Cuanqueb aj k'e que'chal chak sa' releb sak'e ut que'cuulac Jerusalén.

²vachiti: Uripi iye wakazvarwa Mambo wevaJudha? Nekuti taona nyeredzi yake kumabvazuva, tauya kuzomunamata.

²Que'patz'oc ut que'xye: -¿Bar cuan lix reyeb laj judío xyo'la? Xochal xban nak xkil chak toj sa' releb sak'e li chahim retalil lix yo'lajic ut xochal chixlok'oninquil, chanqueb.

³Zvino Herodhe mambo wakati anzwa, akashushikana, neJerusarema rose naye.

³Ut nak quirabi a'an, li rey Herodes quisach xch'ôl ut qui-oc xc'a'ux jo' ajcui' chixjunileb li cuanqueb Jerusalén.

⁴Zvino wakati aunganidza vapristi vakuru vose nevanyori vevanhu, akabvunza kwavari kuti Kristu uchazvarirwa kupi.

⁴Ut laj Herodes quixch'utubeb chixjunil li xbênil aj tij jo' eb ajcui' laj tz'îb sa' li tenamit ut quixpatz' reheb bar tâyo'lâk li Cristo.

⁵Zvino vakati kwaari: MuBhetirehemu reJudhiya; nekuti zvakanyorwa saizvozvi nemuporofita zvichinzi:

⁵Ut eb a'an que'chak'oc ut que'xye re: -Aran Belén xcuênt Judea xban nak jo'can tz'îbanbil chak xban li profeta.

⁶Newe Bhetirehemu nyika yaJudha, hausi mudukusa kuvatongi vaJudha; nekuti kwauri kuchabuda mutungamiriri, uchafudza vanhu vangu Israeri.

⁶Jo'ca'in tz'îbanbil sa' li Santil Hu: Li tenamit Belén, xch'och'eb laj Judá, moco k'axal ca'ch'in ta lix cuanquil sa' xyânkeb li xnînkal ru tenamit re Judá xban nak aran tâêlk jun Acuabej ut a'an tâberesînk re lin tenamit Israel. (Miq. 5:2)

⁷Zvino Herodhe, wakati adana vachenjeri muchivande, akabvunzisisa kwavari nguva yakaonekwa nyeredzi.

⁷Tojo'nak laj Herodes quixbokeb laj k'e sa' mukmu ut quixpatz' reheb jok'e tz'akal quic'utun li chahim.

⁸Akavatuma kuBhetirehemu, akati: Endai munobvunzisisa zvemucheche; kana mamuwana mundisume, kuti ini ndiuyewo ndimunamate.

⁸Ut nak quixtaklaheb Belén quixye reheb: -Ayukex aran Belén ut q'uehomak êch'ôl chixsic'bal toj retal têtau li c'ula'al. Ut nak têtau chak, tolêye cue re nak tinxic ajcui' lâin ut toxinlok'oni chak, chan.

⁹Vakati vanzwa mambo, vakabva; zvino tarira, nyeredzi yavakaona kumabvazuva yakavatungamirira, kusvikira yasvika ikamira pamusoro pepakange pane mucheche.

⁹Ut nak que'rabi li quixye li rey, eb laj k'e que'côeb. Ut li chahim li que'ril chak sa' releb sak'e yô chi xic c'amol be chiruheb tojo'nak quixakli sa' xbên li na'ajej cuan cui' li c'ula'al.

¹⁰Vakati vaona nyeredzi vakafara nemufaro mukuru kwazvo.

¹⁰Ut c'ajo' nak que'saho' sa' xch'ôleb chirilbal li chahim nak quixakli sa' xbên li na'ajej a'an.

¹¹Vakati vapinda mumba, vakaona mucheche naMaria mai vake, vakawira pasi vakamunamata; zvino vakati vazarura fuma yavo, vakamupemberera nezvipo, ndarama, nezvipfungaidzo zvinonhuwira, nemura*.

¹¹Ut nak que'oc sa' li cab, que'xtau li c'ula'al rochben lix María li na'bej. Ut que'xcuik'ib rib chiru li Jesús ut que'xlok'oni. Ut que'xte lix c'ûlebâleb ut que'xq'ue lix mâtan. Ut li mâtan li que'xq'ue, a'an li oro, li incienso ut li sununquil ban mirra xc'aba'.

¹²Vakati vanyeverwa naMwari muchiroto, kuti varege kudzokera kuna Herodhe, vakabva vakaenda kunyika yavo neimwe nzira.

¹²Ut que'c'utbesîc chiruheb xban li Dios sa' xmatq'ueb nak inc'a' chic te'suk'îk riq'uin laj Herodes. Sa' jalan chic be que'xc'am nak que'suk'i sa' xtenamiteb.

¹³Vakati vaenda, tarira, mutumwa waIshe anoonekwa kuna Josefa muchiroto, achiti: Muka utore mucheche namai vake, utizire kuEgipita, uveko kusvikira ndichikuudza; nekuti Herodhe uchatsvaka mucheche kuti amuparadze.

¹³Ut nak ac xcôeb laj k'e, jun x-ángel li Kâcua' quixc'ut rib chiru laj José sa' xmatc' ut quixye re: -Cuaclin, c'am li c'ula'al jo' cui' lix na'. Tex-êlk arin ut ayukex sa' li tenamit Egipto. Ut aran texcanâk toj lâin toxinyehok âcue. Tex-êlelik xban nak laj Herodes oc re chixsic'bal li c'ula'al re xcamsinquil.-

¹⁴Zvino amuka wakatora mucheche namai vake usiku, akabva akaenda kuEgipita,

¹⁴Ut laj José qui-aj ru, quicuacli ut quixc'am li c'ula'al jo' cui' lix na' ut sa' ajcui' li k'ojyîn a'an que'côeb Egipto.

¹⁵uye wakavako kusvikira pakufa kwaHerodhe; kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIshe nemuporofita, achiti: Ndakadana mwanakomana wangu abude Egipita.

¹⁵Ut que'cuan aran Egipto toj quicam laj Herodes. A'an quic'ulman jo' quixtz'îba li profeta li quiyehe' re xban li Kâcua' nak quixye: Sa' li tenamit Egipto quinbok chak li cualal, chan. (Ose. 11:1)

¹⁶Zvino Herodhe, wakati aona kuti anyengerwa nevachenjeri, akatsamwa zvikuru, akatuma, akaponda vana vose vaiva muBhetirehemu nemumigumo yayo yose, kubvira pamakore maviri neari pasi, zvichienderana nenguva yaakange abvunzisisa kuvachenjeri.

¹⁶A'ut laj Herodes nak quiril nak quibalak'îc xbaneb laj k'e, k'axal nak quichal xjosk'il. Ut quixtakla xcamsinquil chixjunileb li coc' têlom cuanqueb Belén, jo' cui' sa' eb li na'ajej cuanqueb chixc'atk. Que'camsîc chixjunileb li coc' têlom li toj c'ula'aleb jun xxiquic aj ca'cab chihab xban nak quixbir rix c'a'ru li cutan quiyo'la cui' li c'ula'al jo' quiyehe' re xbaneb laj k'e.

¹⁷Zvino zvakazadziswa zvakarehwa naJeremiya muporofita achiti:

¹⁷Jo'can nak quitz'akloc ru li yebil xban li profeta Jeremías nak quixye chi jo'ca'in:

¹⁸MuRama rakanzwika inzwi, kuungudza nekuchema nekurira kukuru, Rakeri achichema vana vake asingadi kunyaradzwa, nekuti havachipo.

¹⁸Qui-abîc li yâbac sa' li tenamit Ramá xban li nimla rahil ch'ôlej, ut yot'ba ch'ôlej li que'xc'ul. A'an eb li ixk aj Israel nak yôqueb chi yâbac chirixeb lix coc'al. Ut inc'a' chic neque'raj xc'ojobanquil xch'ôleb xban nak ac camenakeb chic lix coc'aleb. (Jer. 31:15)

¹⁹Asi Herodhe wakati afa, tarira, mutumwa waIshe wakaonekwa muchiroto kuna Josefa muEgipita,

¹⁹Ut nak quicam laj Herodes, jun x-ángel li Kâcua' quixc'utbesi rib chiru laj José sa' xmatc' aran Egipto.

²⁰achiti: Muka, utore mucheche namai vake, uende kunyika yaIsraeri; nekuti vakafa avo vaitsvaka mweya wemucheche.

²⁰Ut quixye re: -Cuaclin. C'am li c'ula'al jo' cui' li na'bej ut texxic cui'chic sa' li tenamit Israel xban nak xe'cam li que'ajoc re xcamsinquil li c'ula'al, chan.

²¹Akasimuka ndokutora mucheche namai vake akasvika kunyika yaIsraeri.

²¹Ut laj José quicuacli, quixc'am li c'ula'al jo' cui' lix na' ut quichal sa' li tenamit Israel.

²²Asi wakati achinzwa kuti Arikerawo anotonga muJudhiya panzvimbo yababa vake Herodhe, akatya kuendako; asi wakati anyeverwa naMwari muchiroto, akabva akaenda kumativi eGarirea.

²²Ut nak quirabi resil nak a' laj Arquelao chic li rey aran Judea rêkaj laj Herodes lix yucua', laj José quixucuac chi xic aran.
