1 Oluvanyuma lwʼohusaaliwa hwa Yesu e Bbeserekemu mu twale lyʼe Buyudaaya, mu hiseera ehi Herode gaali habaha, abasinde abagesi* 2:1 abagesi Abasinde abo bendulirisanga ebiŋamba hu munyeenye. ohuŋwa ewuŋwalyuba baatiina e Yerusaalemu. 2 Ni boola nga babuusa baati, “Omwana oyu basaaye ohuba habaha wʼAbayudaaya ali ŋeena? Hwaweene emunyeenye nʼeraga ohusaaliwa huhwe, njʼohuuja humujumirye.”
3 Ehyo ni hyagwa habaha Herode mu hutwi, hyamweralihirisa era nʼabaatu bosibosi mu Yerusaalemu beralihirira. 4 Olwʼehyo, Herode galanga oluhiiho lwʼabatangirisi bʼabasengi ba Hatonda nʼabasomesa bʼamagambi bosibosi, ngʼababuusa ati, “Kurisito oyu bafuujaho amate ohunoŋola abaatu wahusaaliwa ŋeena?” 5 Nga bamugobolamo baati, “Wahusaaliwa e Bbeserekemu mu twale lyʼe Buyudaaya, olwohuba naabbi gaŋandiiha ati,
