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.
All the generations, therefore, are, from Abraham to David fourteen generations, and from David to the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations, and from the captivity of Babylon to the Messiah 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.
And the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, she was found 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.
And Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her: and he thought of putting 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,”.
And while he contemplated these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her, 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 will bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he will resuscitate his people from their sins.
22 Boeipa kah a thui te soep sak hamla he he boeih thoeng coeng.
Now all this that occurred, was to fulfill what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet:
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 will conceive, and will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, Our 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 when Joseph rose from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife.
25 Tedae capa a cun hil Mary te ming pawh. A ming te khaw Jesuh a sui.
And he knew her not, until she had borne her firstborn son, and called is name Jesus.
