1 J esus was born in the town of Bethlehem in the country of Judea. It was the time when Herod was king of that part of the country. Soon after Jesus was born, some wise men who learned things from stars came to Jerusalem from the East.

Goortii Ciise ku dhashay Beytlaxamtii Yahuudiya, waagii Herodos boqorkii ahaa, waxaa Yeruusaalem bari kaga yimid niman xigmad leh iyagoo leh,

2 T hey asked, “Where is the King of the Jews Who has been born? We have seen His star in the East. We have come to worship Him.”

Xaggee buu joogaa boqorka Yuhuudda ee dhashay? Waayo, bari ayaannu xiddigtiisii ka aragnay, oo waxaannu u nimid inaannu caabudno.

3 K ing Herod heard this. He and all the people of Jerusalem were worried.

Goortuu boqor Herodos waxan maqlay, ayuu welwelay, isaga iyo reer Yeruusaalem oo dhan.

4 H e called together all the religious leaders of the Jews and the teachers of the Law. Herod asked them where Christ was to be born.

Oo intuu isu ururiyey wadaaddadii sare iyo culimmadii dadka oo dhan, ayuu weyddiiyey meeshii Masiixu ku dhalan lahaa.

5 T hey said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea. The early preacher wrote,

Oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Beytlaxamtii Yahuudiya, waayo, sidaasaa nebigii u qoray,

6 ‘ You, Bethlehem of Judah, are not the least of the leaders of Judah. Out of you will come a King Who will lead My people the Jews.’”

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.

7 T hen Herod had a secret meeting with the men who learned things from stars. He asked them about what time the star had been seen.

Markaasuu Herodos nimankii xigmadda lahaa hoos ahaan ugu yeedhay, oo ka hubsaday goortay xiddigtu u muuqatay.

8 H e sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and find the young Child. When you find Him, let me know. Then I can go and worship Him also.”

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.

9 A fter the king had spoken, they went on their way. The star they had seen in the East went before them. It came and stopped over the place where the young Child was.

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 W hen they saw the star, they were filled with much joy.

oo goortay xiddigtii arkeen ayay farxad aad u weyn ku farxeen.

11 T hey went into the house and found the young Child with Mary, His mother. Then they got down before Him and worshiped Him. They opened their bags of riches and gave Him gifts of gold and perfume and spices.

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 T hen God spoke to them in a dream. He told them not to go back to Herod. So they went to their own country by another road. Joseph Goes to Egypt

Markaasaa riyo loogu digay inaanay Herodos ku noqon, oo dhulkoodii ayay jid kale u mareen. Cararkii Xagga Masar

13 W hen they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream. He said, “Get up. Take the young Child and His mother to the country of Egypt. Go as fast as you can! Stay there until you hear from Me. Herod is going to look for the young Child to kill Him.”

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 D uring the night he got up and left with the young Child and His mother for Egypt.

Wakhti habeen ah ayuu kacay, oo ilmihii iyo hooyadiis kaxeeyey, oo Masar tegey,

15 H e stayed there until Herod died. This happened as the Lord had said through an early preacher, “I called My Son out of Egypt.” Herod Had All the Young Boys Killed

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 H erod learned that the wise men had fooled him. He was very angry. He sent men to kill all the young boys two years old and under in Bethlehem and in all the country near by. He decided to do this from what he had heard from the wise men as to the time when the star was seen.

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 T hen it happened as the early preacher Jeremiah said it would happen.

Markaas waxaa noqotay wixii nebi Yeremyaah lagaga dhex hadlay, isagoo leh,

18 H e said, “The sound of crying and much sorrow was heard in Ramah. Rachel was crying for her children. She would not be comforted because they were dead.” Joseph Goes from Egypt to Nazareth

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 A fter Herod died, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream while he was in Egypt.

Laakiin goortuu Herodos dhintay, malaa'igtii Rabbiga ayaa riyo ugu muuqatay Yuusuf oo Masar jooga, iyadoo leh,

20 H e said, “Get up. Take the young Child and His mother and go into the land of the Jews. Those who tried to kill the young Child are dead.”

Kac oo kaxee ilmaha iyo hooyadiis, oo dhulka Israa'iil tag, waayo, kuwii ilmaha naftiisa doonayay waa dhinteen.

21 J oseph got up. He took the young Child and His mother and came into the land of the Jews.

Markaasuu kacay oo kaxeeyey ilmihii iyo hooyadiis, oo dalkii Israa'iil tegey.

22 J oseph heard that Archelaus was the king of the country of Judea. Herod, the father of Archelaus, had died. Joseph was afraid to go there. God told him in a dream to go to the country of Galilee and he went.

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 J oseph stayed in a town called Nazareth. It happened as the early preachers said it would happen. They said, “Jesus will be called a Nazarene.”

Wuxuuna yimid oo degay magaalada Naasared la odhan jiray si ay u noqoto wixii nebiyada lagaga hadlay, Waxaa loogu yeedhayaa Naasaraani.
