So all the generations from Abraham till David are fourteen generations: and from David till the removal to Babylon are fourteen generations: and from the removal to Babylon till the Christ are fourteen generations.
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.
But Jesus Christ was begotten thus: After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they had come together, she was found to be with child of 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.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not choosing to make an example of her, intended to put her away privately.
20 He a poek vaengah, boeipa kah puencawn loh anih taengla a mang ah pakcak a phoe pah tih, “David capa Joseph Mary te na yuu la loh ham rhih boeh, anih a vawn he Mueihla Cim rhangnen ni,”.
But while he was thinking of these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take home Mary your wife; for that which is begotten in her is of 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 will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus; for he will save his people from their sins.
22 Boeipa kah a thui te soep sak hamla he he boeih thoeng coeng.
Now all this was done, that the word might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
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, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and his name shall be called Immanuel, which, when translated, is, 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.
And Joseph awoke from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him; and he took home his wife,
25 Tedae capa a cun hil Mary te ming pawh. A ming te khaw Jesuh a sui.
and knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son. And he called his name Jesus.
