17 To inzan ba wawu rji ni Ibrahim hi Dauda ba wlon don zia, rji ni Dauda hi ntton wa ba vu hi ni Babila bahi izan zia, u rji ni ni ntton u wa bahe ni Babila hi ni ye Kristi ba nzan wlon don zia.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen; from David till the migration into Babylon, fourteen; from David till the migration into Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen.
18 Ingrji Yesu Kristi ahe towa: wa ba nna yima Maryamu ni Yusufu gben ntton wa baka gran kpa, u nne Ruhu tsatsar ye riwu.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened thus: Mary his mother had been espoused to Joseph; but before they came together, she proved to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 U Yusufu illon ma indi u klu Rji, nda na son nno shan na, a cu sron ma rju ni gran nda kama ni wu niyay'bi (aboye)
Joseph her husband being a virtuous man, and unwilling to expose her, intended to divorce her privately.
20 Amma, asi tamre towa, u malaika Baci ka ye niwu ni rah nda tre, “Yusufu, ivren Dauda, na klu sisri ban wame Maryamu na, don ikpie a wrji anne ma, a u Ruhu tsatsar.
But while he was thinking upon this, an angel of the Lord appearing to him in a dream, said, Joseph, son of David, scruple not to take home Mary your wife; for her pregnancy is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Ani ngrji vrenlon wa u yowu ndi Yesu, don ani kpa ndi ma cuwo ni gbugbu latre mba.
And she shall bear a son, whom you shall call Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
22 To, ahe to yi don ndu tre Baci he na wa a hla din.
In all this what the Lord had spoken by the Prophet was verified,
23 “To mba, vivren wa ri wa ana to lillona ani ye he nne nda ngrji vrenlon wa ba yo wa ndi Imanuwal” wa hi riri ni “Irji he nita”
"Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, who shall be called Immanuel;" which signifies, God with us.
24 U Yusufu, gbla sh'me ni nah tie ikpie wa Malaika hla niwu nda hi ka ban wa-a hi ni kpama.
When Joseph awoke, he did as the messenger of the Lord had commanded him, and took home his wife;
25 Ana rlihe toh wa-a sai wa a ngrji vren ma u mumla. Ayo nde ma di Yesu.
but knew her not, until she had brought forth her first born son, whom he named Jesus.
