3 Mndewa Helodi vyoyahuliche mbuli ayo na kadeula ng'hatu. Na wanhu weng'ha wali Yelusalemu nawadeula. 4 Leka, nakawachema hamwe watambika wakulu na walangusa wa malajizo ga Musa na kuwauza, “Ahi kohi koyoleleka Yesu Kilistu?” 5 Na hewo wedichila, “Mujini Betelehemu uwele Yudeya. Yandichigwe na mloli wa Nguluwi kuta,

6 “Ee Betelehemu iwele kuli isi ya Yuda,

hegwe huwele mdodo ng'hatu kuli luga lutanganiche lwa Yuda,

mina kwa hegwe, kolawila mlongozi,

yowalongoza wanhu wa heni, Isilaeli.”

7 Baho, Helodi nakawachema awala walola nhondwe kwa uviso, na kawauza kota hanili aila nhondwe loiwalawile. 8 Hamba kawalajiza Betelehemu yolonga, “Mlute mkampale mwana, na wone mmone, muye mndojele na heni ndute ndikamfugamile.”

9 Lowamhulichize mndewa, awala walola nhondwe waluta. Baho ila nhondwe lowaiwene kulawa kolilawilaga isanya, na iwalongola na iluta kwima mchanya na hala hoyawele mwana. 10 Lowaiwene ayo nhondwe, nawasangalala heko. 11 Leka, wenjila mng'handa, nawamona yula mwana hamwe na Maliya mayake, wenamiza na wamfugamila. Hamba wachumula vinhu vyowegale vya kumigalila mwana, wampa ndolendole zahabu na ubani na mafuta galinguguzigwa kwa migwala minji galinguchemigwa manemane.

12 Nguluwi nakawalemeza wolota waleche kuhiluka kwa Helodi, ahyo wahiluka kukolela nzila inji.
