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.
Mahasi onse ku zwa kwa Abrahama ku ya kwa Daafita a vali mahasi ena ikumi lyonke ni one, kuzwa kwa Daafita kuya ha vaka luwiwa kwa Babilona ku leta kwa Keresite avali masika ena ikumi lyonke ni one.
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.
Ku zalwa kwa Jesu Keresite kuva chitahali mu nzila i chilila. Inyina, Maria, ava veelezwe kuti a seswe kwa Josefa, kono pili ni vaseni kwiza hamwina, ava waniki ha menzi mahya cha Luhuho lu Jolola.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
Mwihyavwe, Josefa, avali mukwane yo shiyeme, kono kana a vali kusaka ku shuvulisa mwihyabve iñandaleza. Cwale cha nahana ku manisa che nkunutu ku li veereza kwaakwe naye.
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.
Havali kusi nahana cezi zintu, Iñeloi lya Ireza ni lya livonisa kwali mu chiloto, liti, “Josefa, mwana wa Daafita, kanji u tiyi to hinda Maria kuva muhwenu, kakuli yo lihinditwe kwali avali ku lihindwa cha Luhuho lu Jolola.
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.”
Mwa zale mwana' mushisu, mi momu ulike izina lya Jesu, mukuti ka puluse vantu vakwe ku zivi zavo.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Izo zonse zi va pangahali kwi zuziliza chiva wambiwa kwa Simwine cha muporofita, nati,
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”).
“Mu vone, mwalyango mwave ha menzi mahya, mi mwa zale mwana' shwisu, mi mu va mu sumpe izina lyakwe Imanuere”- i talusa, “Ireza wina neswe.”
24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
Josefa ha vuka ku ñonzi zakwe ni ku chita ka kuya ke Iñeloi lya Simwine muli va mu laeli mi ca mu hinda kuva mwihyavwe.
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
Kono kana aba lali naye konji ha zala mwana' mushisu. Mi ava mu sumpisi izina lya Jesu.
