Abashakashatsi Baza kwa Mwana
Abanyabwenge barebera ku nyenyeri baturutse mu mahanga babona umwana bakamuramya; umwami w'i Yeruzalemu yigira nk'uwo agiye kubikora, hanyuma akica abahungu b'i Betelehemu. Se amurinda binyuze mu nzozi no guhungira muri Misiri nijoro, atari ku ngufu. Umuborogo wa Rasheli usigara uhagaze hagati mu nkuru.
2 1Yezu amaze kuvuka i Betelehemu muri Yudeya, ku ngoma y'umwami Herodi, abanyabwenge baturutse iburasirazuba bagera i Yeruzalemu, 2baravuga bati: “Uwavutse ngo abe umwami w'Abayahudi ari he? Kuko twabonye inyenyeri ye iburasirazuba, tukaba twaje kumuramya.” 3Umwami Herodi abyumvise arahagarika umutima, na Yeruzalemu yose hamwe na we. 4Akoranya abakuru bose bo mu batambyi n'abigishamategeko b'abantu, arababaza aho Kristo yari agomba kuvuka. 5Baramubwira bati: “I Betelehemu muri Yudeya, kuko ari ko byanditswe binyujijwe ku muhanuzi: 6'Nawe Betelehemu, wo mu gihugu cya Yuda, ntabwo rwose uri muto mu bategetsi ba Yuda; kuko muri we hazava umutegetsi uzaragira Isiraheli, abantu banjye.'”
7Nuko Herodi atumiza abanyabwenge rwihishwa, amenya avuye kuri bo igihe nyacyo inyenyeri yabonekeyeho. 8Arabohereza i Betelehemu ati: “Nimugende mushakishe uwo mwana mwitonze. Nimumara kumubona, mugaruke mumbwire, kugira ngo nanjye njye kumuramya.”
9Bamaze kumva umwami, baragenda; nuko ya nyenyeri bari babonye iburasirazuba iba imbere yabo, igera aho iha hejuru y'aho uwo mwana yari ari irahagarara. 10Babonye inyenyeri, baranezerwa ibyishimo bikomeye cyane. 11Binjiye mu nzu, babona uwo mwana ari kumwe na Mariya nyina, bikubita hasi baramuramya. Bakingura amasanduku y'ubutunzi bwabo, bamuha impano: zahabu n'umubavu n'imibavu y'igiciro. 12Baburiwe mu nzozi ngo ntibagaruke kwa Herodi, basubira iwabo banyuze inzira indi.
Data Arinda Umwana We
13Bamaze kugenda, umumarayika wa Data wa twese abonekera Yozefu mu nzozi ati: “Byuka ufate uwo mwana na nyina, muhungire mu Misiri, mugume yo kugeza igihe nzakubwira—kuko Herodi agiye gushaka uwo mwana ngo amwice.”
14Nuko arabyuka afata uwo mwana na nyina mu ijoro, basanga mu Misiri,
15aguma yo kugeza aho Herodi apfiriye, kugira ngo bisohore ibyo Data wa twese yavuze binyujijwe ku muhanuzi ngo: “Nahamagaye umwana wanjye avuye mu Misiri.” a a v15 Matayo ashyira ayo magambo ya Hoseya kuri Yezu: Umwana nyawe usohoza ibyo Isiraheli, yahamagawe avuye mu Misiri, utigeze ashobora.
16Nuko Herodi abonye ko abanyabwenge bamuyobeje, ararakara cyane, yohereza abantu kwica abana b'abahungu bose bafite imyaka ibiri n'abari munsi yaho mu Betelehemu n'aho hose hegereye, akurikije igihe yari yamenye ku banyabwenge. 17Ibyo byasohoje ibyavuzwe binyujijwe ku muhanuzi Yeremiya ngo: 18“Ijwi ryumvikaniye i Rama, kurira no guhera induru, Rasheli aririra abana be; yanga guhozwa, kuko batakiriho.”
Data Amuhamagarira Iwe
19Ariko Herodi amaze gupfa, umumarayika wa Data wa twese abonekera Yozefu mu nzozi ari mu Misiri, 20ati: “Byuka ufate uwo mwana na nyina, mujye mu gihugu cya Isiraheli, kuko abashakaga kuvutsa uwo mwana ubuzima bapfuye.”
21Nuko arabyuka, afata uwo mwana na nyina, bajya mu gihugu cya Isiraheli. 22Yumvise ko Arikelawo ari ku ngoma muri Yudeya mu mwanya wa se Herodi, atinya kujyayo. Aburiwe mu nzozi, akwira mu karere ka Galileya. 23Aragenda atura mu mujyi witwa Nazareti, kugira ngo hasohore ibyavuzwe n'abahanuzi ngo: “Azitwa Umunyanazareti.”
