17 In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
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.
18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
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.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
Nombe che Yusufu ŵankwakwe pakuŵa ŵaliji mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu nganasaka kwachembulusya che Maliamu pa ŵandu, ŵasachile kwaleka pangaimanyilila ŵandu.
20 But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
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.
21 She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
Chaligopole mwanache jwannume nomwe chimwape liina lyakwe Che Yesu, pakuŵa jwelejo ni juchiŵakulupusye ŵandu ŵakwe mu sambi syao.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Nipele yoseyo yakopochele kuti liŵe isyene, liloŵe lya Ambuje liŵaŵechete kwa litala lya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu achitiji,
23 “Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
“Mwalimwalipe chaŵe jwapachiilu, chaligopole mwanache jwannume, nombewo chachaŵilanga Emanueli” malumbo gakwe, “Akunnungu ali pamo ni uwe.”
24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
Nombe che Yusufu paŵajimwiche, ŵatesile ilaila iŵatite pakusala katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje, ŵanjigele che Maliamu ŵankwawo ni kwaulanawo kumangwao.
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
Nambo nganawonegana nawo mpaka che Maliamu paŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume. Nombe che Yusufu ŵampele liina lyakwe Che Yesu.
