Imaatinkii Nimankii Xigmadda Lahaa

Goortii Ciise ku dhashay Beytlaxamtii Yahuudiya, waagii Herodos boqorkii ahaa, waxaa Yeruusaalem bari kaga yimid niman xigmad leh iyagoo leh, Xaggee buu joogaa boqorka Yuhuudda ee dhashay? Waayo, bari ayaannu xiddigtiisii ka aragnay, oo waxaannu u nimid inaannu caabudno. Goortuu boqor Herodos waxan maqlay, ayuu welwelay, isaga iyo reer Yeruusaalem oo dhan. Oo intuu isu ururiyey wadaaddadii sare iyo culimmadii dadka oo dhan, ayuu weyddiiyey meeshii Masiixu ku dhalan lahaa. Oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Beytlaxamtii Yahuudiya, waayo, sidaasaa nebigii u qoray,

Adigu Beytlaxam, oo dhulka Yahuudah ahay,
Kuma aad yaridba caaqillada Yahuudah dhexdooda,
Waayo, waxaa adiga kaa soo bixi doona taliye,
Kan dadkayga Israa'iil u talin doona.

Markaasuu Herodos nimankii xigmadda lahaa hoos ahaan ugu yeedhay, oo ka hubsaday goortay xiddigtu u muuqatay. Kolkaasuu Beytlaxam cid u diray oo ku yidhi, Taga oo ilmaha aad u doondoona, oo goortaad heshaan i soo ogeysiiya si aan anna ugu tago oo u caabudo. Goortay boqorkii maqleen ayay tageen, oo xiddigtii ay bari ka arkeen ayaa hor kacday ilaa ay timid oo ay kor joogsatay meeshii ilmuhu joogay, 10 oo goortay xiddigtii arkeen ayay farxad aad u weyn ku farxeen. 11 Markaasay gurigii galeen oo waxay arkeen ilmihii iyo Maryan hooyadiis, wayna dhaceen oo caabudeen isaga, oo intay khasnadahoodii fureen waxay isaga u dhiibeen hadiyado dahab iyo beeyo iyo malmal ah. 12 Markaasaa riyo loogu digay inaanay Herodos ku noqon, oo dhulkoodii ayay jid kale u mareen.

Cararkii Xagga Masar

13 Goortay ka tageen, malaa'igtii Rabbiga ayaa Yuusuf riyo ugu muuqatay, iyadoo leh, Kac oo kaxee ilmaha iyo hooyadiis, oo Masar u carar oo halkaas joog ilaa aan kuu soo sheego, waayo, Herodos ayaa ilmaha dooni doona inuu dilo. 14 Wakhti habeen ah ayuu kacay, oo ilmihii iyo hooyadiis kaxeeyey, oo Masar tegey, 15 oo halkaasuu joogay ilaa dhimashadii Herodos, inay noqoto wixii Rabbigu kaga dhex hadlay nebiga, isagoo leh, Wiilkayga ayaan Masar uga yeedhay.

Layntii Herodos Uu Carruurtii Beytlaxam Laayay

16 Goortuu Herodos arkay inay nimankii xigmadda lahaa ku cayaareen isagii, ayuu aad u cadhooday, oo cid buu u diray oo laayay wiilashii yaryaraa oo dhan, kuwii laba sannadood jiray iyo kuwii ka yaraa oo joogay Beytlaxam iyo meelaha u dhow oo dhan, sida wakhtigii uu nimankii xigmadda lahaa ka hubsaday. 17 Markaas waxaa noqotay wixii nebi Yeremyaah lagaga dhex hadlay, isagoo leh,

18 Cod baa Raamaah laga maqlay,
Oohin iyo baroor weyn,
Raaxeel oo u ooyaysa carruurteeda,
Oo aan doonaynin in la qalbi qabowjiyo, waayo, ma ay joogin.

Ka Soo Noqodkii Xagga Masar

19 Laakiin goortuu Herodos dhintay, malaa'igtii Rabbiga ayaa riyo ugu muuqatay Yuusuf oo Masar jooga, iyadoo leh, 20 Kac oo kaxee ilmaha iyo hooyadiis, oo dhulka Israa'iil tag, waayo, kuwii ilmaha naftiisa doonayay waa dhinteen. 21 Markaasuu kacay oo kaxeeyey ilmihii iyo hooyadiis, oo dalkii Israa'iil tegey. 22 Laakiin goortuu maqlay in Arkhela'os meeshii aabbihiis Herodos Yahuudiya xukumayo, wuu ka baqay inuu halkaas tago. Markaase Ilaah baa riyo ugu digay, oo uu dhinacyada Galili ku leexday. 23 Wuxuuna yimid oo degay magaalada Naasared la odhan jiray si ay u noqoto wixii nebiyada lagaga hadlay, Waxaa loogu yeedhayaa Naasaraani.

The Magi Visit the Messiah

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea,(A) during the time of King Herod,(B) Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?(C) We saw his star(D) when it rose and have come to worship him.”

When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. “In Bethlehem(E) in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

“‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
    are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
    who will shepherd my people Israel.’[b](F)

Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.(G) Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts(H) of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned(I) in a dream(J) not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

The Escape to Egypt

13 When they had gone, an angel(K) of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream.(L) “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”(M)

14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled(N) what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”[c](O)

16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. 17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:(P)

18 “A voice is heard in Ramah,
    weeping and great mourning,
Rachel(Q) weeping for her children
    and refusing to be comforted,
    because they are no more.”[d](R)

The Return to Nazareth

19 After Herod died, an angel(S) of the Lord appeared in a dream(T) to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.”(U)

21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream,(V) he withdrew to the district of Galilee,(W) 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth.(X) So was fulfilled(Y) what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.(Z)
