Ahabw'okuba tukareeba enyonyoozi ye oburugwa-izooba, mbwenu twizire kumuramya. 3Omugabe Heroode, ku yaakihuriire, yaayemereza omutima hamwe n'aba Yerusaalemu boona; 4nikwo kuteerana abanyamurwa abakuru n'abahandiiki b'abantu boona, akabeehanuuzaho ahu Kristo yaaragwirwe kuzaarirwa. 53 Baamugarukamu bati: Omuri Betelehemu eya Buyudaaya; ahabw'okuba nikwo kyahandiikirwe nabi ngu:

6Naiwe, Betelehemu ey'omu ishaza rya Buyudaaya, 4

Tori muto okukira boona ab'omu banyiginya baaryo;

Ahabw'okuba omuriiwe nimwo omutegyeki ariruga,

Oririisa abantu bangye Abaisraeli.

7Bwanyima Heroode yaayeta abo banyabwengye omu mubonano, yaababuuza obunaku obu baareebeiremu enyonyoozi; 8yaabatuma Betelehemu naabagira ati: Mwirooko mugyende, musherure gye ogwo mwana; ku muraamubone, mugarukye mungambire, naanye nze kumuramya. 9Nabo ku baaherize kuhurira ebi yaabatuma, baarabaho baagyenda; kandi enyonyoozi ei baareebire oburugwa-izooba yaabeebembera, okuhitsya obu yaayemereire ahu omwana yaabaire ari. 10Ku baareebire enyonyoozi, baayesiima munonga n'okushemererwa kwingi; 115 baataaha omu nju, baashangamu omwana na Mariamu nyina, bainama, baamuramya. Baakomoorora emitwaro yaabo, baamuha ebiconco by'ezaabu n'eby'emigaju na 6sumuruna. 12Kandi ku baahabwirwe Ruhanga omu kirooto, ngu barekye kugaruka owa Heroode, baimuka, baatoora ogundi muhanda, baagaruka owaabo.
