12 Asi vakadzokera kunyika yavo neimwe nzira, nekuti vakanga vanyeverwa naMwari kuhope+ kuti varege kudzokera kuna Herodhi.
13 Pashure pekunge vaenda, ngirozi yaJehovha* yakabva yazviratidza kuna Josefa kuhope,+ ichiti: “Simuka, tora mwana naamai vake utizire kuIjipiti, ugare ikoko kusvikira ndakuudza kuti udzoke, nekuti Herodhi ava kuda kutsvaga mwana kuti amuuraye.”

16 Herodhi paakaona kuti akanga anyengerwa nevazivi venyeredzi, akabva ashatirwa kwazvo, akatuma vanhu, akaita kuti vana vakomana vese vaiva muBhetrehema nemumaruwa aro ese vaurayiwe, kubvira pazera remakore maviri zvichidzika, maererano nenguva yaakanga abvunza vazivi venyeredzi.+
17 Izvi zvakabva zvazadzisa zvakataurwa nekumuprofita Jeremiya paakati:
18 “Inzwi rakanzwika muRama, kuchema nekuridza mhere kukuru. NdiRakeri+ aichema vana vake, uye airamba kunyaradzwa, nekuti vakanga vasisipo.”+
19 Pakafa Herodhi, ngirozi yaJehovha* yakabva yazviratidza kuna Josefa kuhope+ muIjipiti,
