So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, and from David until the Babylonian captivity are fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian captivity until the Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Hiche hi Yeshua Messiah hungpen thudol ahi. Anu Mary hi, Joseph to kicheng dinga kitepna neisa ahi. Ahinlah aum khom masang lhon in, Lhagao Theng thilbol theina a nungah theng ahipet in, amanu hi naovop ahi akihedoh tai.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they joined together, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Chutah in, aji dingpa Joseph chu mipha ahijeh'in, japi het in jumna ape nom pon, hijeh chun guhthim'a kikhenpi din lunggel aneitai.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not wanting to humiliate her publicly, decided to repudiate her secretly.
20 Hitia lung angaito lai hin Pakai vantil khat ahenga ahung kilah in ajah a “Joseph, David chapa, Mary chu ji dia nakipui ding kicha hih in, ajeh chu naocha asunga umkhu Lhagao Thenga kona kijil ahi.
But while he pondered these things, wow, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, because that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Chule amanu hin chapa khat ahin nei ding, nangman amin Yeshua tia nasah ding ahi, ajeh chu Ama hin Amite achonset nauva kon'a ahuhhing ding ahi,” ati.
And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Hiche ho jouse hi Pakai thupo, athemgao thusei gui lhunna dinga sohdoh ahitai:
Now all this happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
23 “Vetem un! Nungah theng khat in nao ahinvop ding ahi! Amanu hin chapa khat ahin ding chule amin Emmanuel asah dingu hichu ‘Pathen in eium piuve,’” tina ahi.
“Behold, the virgin will become pregnant and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel”, which being translated is, ‘God with us’.
24 Chujouvin Joseph ahung khahdoh phat in, Pakai vantil thupeh bang in abol in, chule Mary chu ajidin akipui tai.
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as that angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife,
25 Ahinlah achapa pen masang sen amanu hi kitoh khah pilou hel in aum in, chuin Joseph chun amin Yeshua asahtai.
but did not know her until she had given birth to her son, the firstborn. And he called His name JESUS.
