So the whole number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen; from David to the exile to Babylon is fourteen; and from the exile to Babylon to Christ is 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.
The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. After his mother, Mary, had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found 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)
But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.
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.
And while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying.
21 Ani ngrji vrenlon wa u yowu ndi Yesu, don ani kpa ndi ma cuwo ni gbugbu latre mba.
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him 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.
All this happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled.
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 be with child, and shall bear a son; and they shall call his name Immanuel, a word which means "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.
Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,
25 Ana rlihe toh wa-a sai wa a ngrji vren ma u mumla. Ayo nde ma di Yesu.
but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.
