So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.
18 Kama e kaka nywol mar Yesu Kristo notimore: Noyudo min mare ma Maria osesingi ne Josef mondo okende, to kane pok gibedo kaachiel, noyude ka en gi ich kuom Roho Maler.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19 Nikech Josef chwore ne en ngʼat makare, kendo ne ok odwar ni okuod wiye e nyim ji, omiyo nochano e pache mar weye ma lingʼ-lingʼ.
Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
20 To bangʼ paro mar timo kamano, Malaika mar Ruoth nofwenyorene e lek mowachone niya, “Josef wuod Daudi, kik iluor dhi gi Maria dala kaka chiegi, nikech gima otingʼo e iye owuok kuom Roho Maler.
But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 Obiro nywolo wuowi, kendo nyaka imiye nying ni Yesu, nikech obiro waro joge kogolo e richo.”
She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Magi duto notimore mondo ochop gima ne Ruoth owacho gi dho janabi niya,
Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
23 “Nyako ngili biro mako ich minywol wuowi, mi nigiluonge ni Imanuel” (tiende ni, “Nyasaye ni kodwa”).
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
24 Kane Josef ochiewo gokinyi, notimo gima malaika mar Ruoth nochike mondo otim, kendo nokawo Maria odhigo dala mobedo chiege.
Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
25 To ne ok oriwore kode nyaka bangʼ kane osenywolo nyathi ma wuowi kendo nomiye nying ni Yesu.
and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
