17 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.
A ya coadi ki cili Abalahama ki ya caa hali Dafidi, li pia piiga n nifiima naa. Ki cili Dafidi ki ya caa hali Babilona cuonu mo, piiga n nifiima naa. Ki cili Isalele yaaba yonbidi Babilina diema nni ki ya caa hali U Tienu n Gandi cuama mo tie piiga n nifiima naa.
18 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.
Diidi Jesu Kilisiti madi n den tua maama. o naa Maliyama n da den tie Josefi toginaa hali ke bi daa den taani leni biyaba, Maliyama den ti sua ke o punba kelima U Tienu Fuoma Yua paalu po.
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
O togiba Josefi yua n den tie niteginkoa naa den bua ki fiagi o a sala nni. Lani yaa po o den jagi ke o baa paadi leni o hasiili nni.
20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
Wan den kpaagi yeni ya yogunu, o Diedo maleki den doagidi o kani ti dangidi nni ki yedi o: Josefi, Dafidi bijua, han da jie ki taa Maliyama wan tua o pua. Kelima wan punbi ya biga, o punbi ga kelima U Tienu Fuoma Yua yaa paali po.
21 She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
O baa maa bonjaga, han yini o Jesu, kelima wani n baa faabi o niba leni bi tuonbiadi.
22 Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Lankuli den tieni ke o Diedo n den tuodi ki teni ke o sawalipualo pua yaa sawalo n tieni:
23 “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.”
Diidi, li ppowondiali baa punbi ki maa bonjaga. Bi baa yini o Emanuweli. Laa yeli bundima n tie U Tienu ye leni ti.
24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;
Josefi n den fundi, o den tieni o Diedo maleki n waani o yaala. O den taa o pua.
25 and did not know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
Ama waa den taani leni o hali wan ban mali o biga. Josefi den yini o Jesu.
