And Jacob, of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Pelepo paliji ni iŵelesi kumi na nne kutyochela che Iblahimu kwaichilila che Daudi, iŵelesi kumi na nne kutyochela che Daudi mpaka Ŵayahudi paŵajigalikwe ku usami ku Babeli ni iŵelesi kumi na nne kutyochela kwigalikwa ku usami kuichila katema ka Kilisito.
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 Yelei ni iŵatite pakupagwa Che Yesu Kilisito, che Maliamu, achikulugwe, ŵaliji atomelwe ni che Yusufu. Nambo akanaŵe kuwonegana mpela mundu ni ŵankwakwe, che Maliamu ŵalisimene ali ŵapachiilu kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
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 Nombe che Yusufu ŵankwakwe pakuŵa ŵaliji mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu nganasaka kwachembulusya che Maliamu pa ŵandu, ŵasachile kwaleka pangaimanyilila ŵandu.
But Joseph her husband, because he was just a man and unwilling to disgrace her, was minded to put her away secretly.
20 Nombewo paŵaliji aninkuganisya yeleyo, katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵankopochele mu sagamisi, ŵansalile, “Che Yusufu mwana ju che Daudi nkajogopa kwajigala che Maliamu kuŵa ŵankwenu, ligongo ali ŵapachiilu kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
And while he was having this in mind, behold! an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying.
21 Chaligopole mwanache jwannume nomwe chimwape liina lyakwe Che Yesu, pakuŵa jwelejo ni juchiŵakulupusye ŵandu ŵakwe mu sambi syao.”
"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 Nipele yoseyo yakopochele kuti liŵe isyene, liloŵe lya Ambuje liŵaŵechete kwa litala lya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu achitiji,
All this happened that the word of the Lord spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled.
23 “Mwalimwalipe chaŵe jwapachiilu, chaligopole mwanache jwannume, nombewo chachaŵilanga Emanueli” malumbo gakwe, “Akunnungu ali pamo ni uwe.”
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 Nombe che Yusufu paŵajimwiche, ŵatesile ilaila iŵatite pakusala katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje, ŵanjigele che Maliamu ŵankwawo ni kwaulanawo kumangwao.
Now when Joseph awoke from his sleep he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him, and took his wife home,
25 Nambo nganawonegana nawo mpaka che Maliamu paŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume. Nombe che Yusufu ŵampele liina lyakwe Che Yesu.
but did not live with her until after the birth of her son, whom he called Jesus.
