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.
Ũguo nĩ kuuga njiaro ciothe ciarĩ ikũmi na inya kuuma Iburahĩmu nginya Daudi, na njiaro ikũmi na inya kuuma Daudi nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ maatahirwo magĩtwarwo kũu Babuloni, na ningĩ njiaro ikũmi na inya kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ maatahirwo nginya hĩndĩ ya Kristũ.
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.
Ũhoro wa gũciarwo kwa Jesũ Kristũ watariĩ ũũ: Nyina Mariamu nĩ oorĩtio nĩ Jusufu atuĩke mũtumia wake, no matanaikarania-rĩ, nĩamenyekire atĩ arĩ na nda ya Roho Mũtheru.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
Nake Jusufu mũthuuri wake tondũ aarĩ mũndũ mũthingu na ndangĩendire kũmũconorithia kũrĩ andũ, agĩĩciiria amũtige na hitho.
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.
No thuutha wa gwĩciiria ũndũ ũcio, mũraika wa Mwathani akĩmuumĩrĩra kĩroto-inĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jusufu, mũrũ wa Daudi, ndũkae gwĩtigĩra kũhikia Mariamu atuĩke mũtumia waku, tondũ nda ĩyo arĩ nayo nĩ ya Roho Mũtheru.
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.”
Nĩagaciara kahĩĩ, nawe nĩũgagatua Jesũ, tondũ nĩwe ũkaahonokia andũ ake kuuma mehia-inĩ mao.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Na rĩrĩ, maũndũ macio mothe meekĩkire nĩguo ũrĩa Mwathani aarĩtie na kanua ka mũnabii ũhinge, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ,
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”).
“Mũirĩtu gathirange nĩakagĩa nda na nĩagaciara kahĩĩ, nao magaagatua Imanueli” ũguo naguo ũgĩtaũrwo nĩ kuuga, “Ngai hamwe na ithuĩ.”
24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
Rĩrĩa Jusufu ookĩrire, agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa mũraika wa Mwathani aamwathĩte, nake akĩinũkia Mariamu gwake mũciĩ, agĩtuĩka mũtumia wake.
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
No matiigana kũmenyana nginya rĩrĩa aaciarire mwana ũcio wa kahĩĩ. Nake Jusufu agĩtua mwana ũcio Jesũ.
