17 Te dongah Abraham lamloh David duela a khong la khong hlaili tih, David lamloh Babylon la a puennah duela khong hlaili, Babylon la a puennah lamloh Khrih duela boeih ah khong hlaili lo.
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 Jesuh Khrih kah rhuirhong khaw ana om tangloeng. A manu Mary he Joseph hamla a bae dae a om rhoi hlan ah Mueihla Cim loh bungvawn la a om sak te a ming.
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 A va Joseph tah aka dueng la om tih anih te yan ham a ngaih pawt dongah toeng hamla duem cai.
Joseph her husband being a virtuous man, and unwilling to expose her, intended to divorce her privately.

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 Capa a cun vaengah a ming te Jesuh na sui ni. Anih long tah a pilnam te a tholh khui lamloh a khang ni.
And she shall bear a son, whom you shall call Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
22 Boeipa kah a thui te soep sak hamla he he boeih thoeng coeng.
In all this what the Lord had spoken by the Prophet was verified,
23 Tonghma lamlong khaw, “Oila te bungvawn la om vetih capa a cun ni, a ming tah Emmanuel la a khue uh ni he. Te tah mamih taengah aka om Pathen ni a thuingaih,” a ti nah.
"Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, who shall be called Immanuel;" which signifies, God with us.
24 Joseph tah a ih kung lamkah a thoh vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn loh anih a uen bangla a ngai tih a yuu te a loh.
When Joseph awoke, he did as the messenger of the Lord had commanded him, and took home his wife;
25 Tedae capa a cun hil Mary te ming pawh. A ming te khaw Jesuh a sui.
but knew her not, until she had brought forth her first born son, whom he named Jesus.
