Matthew 2:16 · Berean Standard Bible

Context
14Kisha Yosefu akaondoka, akamchukua mtoto pamoja na mama yake wakati wa usiku, nao wakaenda Misri 15ambako walikaa mpaka Herode alipofariki. Hili lilifanyika ili litimie lile lililonenwa na Bwana kwa kinywa cha nabii kusema: “Nilimwita mwanangu kutoka Misri.” 16Herode alipongʼamua kwamba wale wataalamu wa nyota wamemshinda kwa akili, alikasirika sana, naye akatoa amri ya kuwaua watoto wote wa kiume wenye umri wa miaka miwili kurudi chini katika mji wa Bethlehemu na sehemu zote za jirani, kufuatana na ule muda alioambiwa na wale wataalamu wa nyota. 17Ndipo lilipotimia neno lililonenwa na nabii Yeremia. 18“Sauti ilisikika huko Rama,
maombolezo na kilio kikubwa,
Raheli akilia kwa ajili ya wanawe,
akikataa kufarijiwa,
kwa sababu hawako tena.”
