7 Nayo jewe, igihe nariko ndava i Padani+, Rasheli yarampfiriyeko+ ku nzira mu gihugu ca Kanani, hagisigaye akarere katari gato ngo nshike muri Efurata+, ku buryo namuhamvye ng’aho ku nzira ija muri Efurata, ni ukuvuga Betelehemu+.”

2 “Nayo wewe, ewe Betelehemu Efurata+, wewe mutoyi cane ku buryo utoharurwa mu bihumbi vya Yuda+, muri wewe+ hazomviramwo uwuzoba umutware muri Isirayeli+, amamo yiwe akaba ari ayo kuva mu bihe vya kera, kuva mu misi ya kera*+.

6 ‘Nayo wewe, ewe Betelehemu+ ho mu gihugu ca Yuda, nturi igisagara ata co kivuze na gato mu bindi vyose muri ba buramatari ba Yuda; kuko muri wewe hazova uwutwara+, ari we azoragira+ igisata canje Isirayeli.’”
