³ Umwami Herodi abyumvise, akuka umutima, we na Yeruzalemu yose.

⁶ ’Nawe, Betelehemu, umusozi wo muri Yudeya, si wowe giseswa mu migi yaho yose; kuko ari wowe uzaturukaho umutware uzaragira umuryango wanjye, Israheli’.»

⁷ Nuko Herodi atumiza ba banyabwenge rwihishwa, abasiganuza igihe inyenyeri yabonekeye,

⁸ abohereza i Betelehemu, ababwira ati «Nimugende mubaririze iby’uwo mwana; maze nimumubona, muzabimenyeshe kugira ngo nanjye njye kumuramya.»

⁹ Bamaze kumva amagambo y’umwami, baragenda. Nuko ya nyenyeri bari baboneye mu burasirazuba ibajya imbere irinda igera hejuru y’aho umwana yari ari, irahahagarara.

¹⁰ Ngo babone inyenyeri barishima cyane.
