1 Maria Zudia ŋgu bakɨme fhain Betrehem ŋgu bakɨmen Zisas tegi. Maria Zisas tegi tugen, Herot Zudia fhain ki ŋgui vhɨrve gari guman pan ki. Maria Zisas tegim, bigi kaŋgi gumgi mbari, mbe ra ndai fhain kegap, nda zav Zerusareman ndav, tamtam mba gumgir nzav, khaŋ nzambaran mbe mbui. 2  Nam 24.17“Mba Zudain ŋgui vhɨrve ganɨnga guman pan kɨrga tar, ana niamuuŋ ana tegi, ana maaŋ ki? Nza mba tara bun nzuai kama bakɨme, ana ra ndai fhain hɨgim, nza ana gangiap, mba tara nɨman thɨvi phɨrɨr zav ana ndi garav zi.” 3 Mbe ne nzuaim, ŋgui vhɨrve gari guman pan Herot ne mbararagiap ndɨkndɨgi vhɨrve ga mbui. Ana ndɨkndɨgi vhɨrve ga mbuim, mba Zerusareman ki gumgi gu mbigi, mbe vhɨra ndɨkndɨgi vhɨrve ga mbui. 4 Mbe ndɨkndɨgi vhɨrve ga mbuim, ŋgui vhɨrve gari guma Herot mbaram mba Fhe Bakɨme rotu gari gumgir pani gum Zudain tɨvi kaŋgi gumgir kamgi. Ana mben kamgim, mbe ana han zim, ana mbe fugap kha nzambaren mbe muuŋgi, “Mba Fhe Bakɨme taagip kha nuianan ki gumgi gu mbigi ndir zav suaŋgiap sarigi guma, ana niamuuŋ maaŋgi ŋgun ana tegi.” 5 Ana mba nzambaren mbe muuŋgim, mbe ana ŋgarkarav khaŋ ana nzuai, “Ana niamuuŋ Zudia fhain Betrehem ŋgun ana tegɨrga. Fhum Fhe Bakɨme kamthooŋ guma maaŋ suaŋgim, mbe mba kameŋ khergim, ne ki. Mba kameŋ khaŋ nzuai, 6  Mai 5.2; Zo 7.42‘Ndu Betrehem ŋgu, ndu Zudia fhain ki. Ndu ŋgu khɨn fhuvara, ndu ntigem nduara wo ganɨnga. Gu ntigem ndun ki guma the ndi farim, ana nan gumgi Isreriŋ ganɨnga.’ ”

7 Mbe maaŋ suaŋgim, ŋgui vhɨrve gari guman pan Herot ne mbararagiap, mbaram nimnera mba ra ndai fhain kega zegi gumgi ga nzuav kama ndi mbarigim, mbe ana han zegim, ana thukhɨngira mben nzai. Ana kha nzambaran mbe mbui, mba kama bakɨme rasɨn hɨgi. 8 Ana mba nzambaran mbe muuŋgiap, mbe sarigim, mbe Betreheman vuim, ana khaŋ mbe nzuai, “Nde ŋgɨp khaŋ tɨgɨp mba tara suaŋv ganɨri! Nde mba tara gangip, nde vhɨra taagi zɨv na suaŋgirim, gu vhɨra ŋgɨp, mba tara rotur muunga.”

Mbe mba kama bakɨme zɨn vuim, mba kam vov mba tar ki phena kɨra tugera thɨgi. 10 Mba kam thɨgim, mba ra ndai fhain kega zegi gumgi, mbe mba kama garav, mbe guigira ndikndiga mbatɨga mbui.

11  Sng 72.10; Ais 60.6; Mt 12.46Mbe ndikndiga mbatɨga mbuav, mba phena vhen verav, mba tara garav, vhɨra ana niamuuŋ Maria gari. Mbe mba tara garav, ana nɨman thɨvi phɨrav wari wo thari ntaav, fhura ana ndɨɨi bigin mba tara ndɨɨi. Mbe gorar ana ndɨɨv, vhɨra ndiga vhuuŋ hi mporiiŋ gum, ndɨga vhuuŋ hi rui phorga ana ndɨɨi. Mba bigi, nta guigira ndɨga vhuuŋ hi. 12 Mbe mba bigin mba tara nɨɨŋgiap, mbe maan kuim, Fhe Bakɨme rɨman mbe kharav khaŋ mbe nzuai, “Nde taagi ŋgɨp ŋgui vhɨrve gari guman pan Herotan hɨ thari.” Ana maaŋ mbe suaŋgim, mbe harigi tuav mbugum, wari wo ki ŋgun vegi.

13 Mba ra ndai fhain kega zegi gumgi, mbe taagia vegim, Guma Bakɨme maan rɨman Zosep kharigi. Ana wo enser mbe sarigim, ana zav khaŋ Zosep ga nzuai, “Ndu khavgip, kha tara ndigip, ana niamuun kov nde rɨɨv Idzɨvan ŋgegɨri. Ndu ŋgɨgɨp, Idzɨvra kɨri, ne khaŋ muuŋgi, ŋgui vhɨrve gari guman pan Herot mba tara ndiv ganɨv, ana shogirim, ana rɨmɨn za mbui.” 14 Zosep mba rɨma kuigap, ana mba maaŋra khavgiap, mba tara ndigap, ana niamuun kov, mbe maan Betrehem thav khavgiap wari Idzɨvan vegi. 15  Hos 11.1Zosep manin ko vugap, mbe Idzɨvra kim, ŋgui vhɨrve gari guman pan Herot rimgi. Kha bunai ne fhum Fhe Bakɨme kamthooŋ guma suaŋgi kama mɨnara vugi. Ana fhum khaŋ suaŋgi, “Nan Kam Idzɨvra kɨrim, gu nduara ana kamgirim, ana Idzɨp thav zɨrga.”

16 Herot zumgum mbararagim, mba ra ndai fhain kega zegi gumgi ana guigap, wari taagi wari wo ki ŋgun vegim, ana guigira ndav mbatɨk ana shigi. Ana ndav shigap, mbaram gumgi mbari ga sarigim, mbe Betrehem ŋgun verav, vhɨra mba Betrehem gan ki ŋgu, mbe za nta ruav mpari mpuveni vhɨzgi fhuv tari ndi gari. Mbe mbe garav, mba mbigi tegi tari, mbe gumgi garav, mbe za mbe shogim, mbe vhɨzgi. Herot mba kama bakɨme hɨgi tuga nzuav, mba ra ndai fhain kegap zegi gumgir nzai, ne nɨɨeŋ khaŋ muuŋgi. Ana kha ndɨkndɨga mbui, ana mba tugen hegi tari, ana za mbe shogɨri mbe vhɨzgir za mbui. 17 Kha kameŋ ne Fhe Bakɨme fhum nen wo kamthooŋ guma Zeremaia ga nɨɨŋgim, ana ne suaŋgi, mba kameŋ nera mɨnan vugi. Ana khaŋ suaŋgi, 18  Stt 35.19; Jer 31.15“Nanan gum nzir kama bakɨme Rama ŋgu bakɨmen hɨgɨrga. Mba nzir kam gum nanaman kam, ana Reser won tari ga nzuav nzi nzir kam ma. Ana mbe nzuav nzim, mba gumgi gu mbigi ndava mɨɨtɨgar ana nɨɨŋgirga, tuktɨgi fhuvara. Ana khaŋ muuŋgi ne nzuav, anan tari zam vhɨzgi.”

19 Zosep gu Maria mba tara ndigap Idzɨvra kim, Herot rimgim, Fhe Bakɨme enser, ana wom zav rɨman Zosep kharigi. 20  Kis 4.19Mba Fhe Bakɨme enser rɨman Zosep kharav khaŋ ana nzuai, “Ndu khavgip, mba tara ndigip, mani niamuuŋ gum ndu mani kov, nde khavgip Isrerar ŋgɨri. Mba tara shogirim, ana rɨmɨn za nzuai gumgi, mbe vhɨzgi.” 21 Ana rɨman Zosep kharav, maaŋ ana suaŋgim, Zosep mbaram mba tara ndigap, ana niamuun kov, mbe taagia khavgiap, Isrera fhain veri.

22  Ais 11.1; 53.2; Mk 1.24; Ru 2.39; Zo 1.45Mbe verav Zosep mbararagim, Arkeraus won ndia Herot ŋana ndigap, ŋgui vhɨrve gari guman pan kav, Zudia fhaiŋ gari. Maaŋ muuŋgiap, Zosep rivgi.
