Naizvozvo mazera ese kubva kuna Abhurahama kusvikira kuna Dhavhidhi mazera gumi nemana; nekubva kuna Dhavhidhi kusvikira pakutapirwa kuBhabhironi mazera gumi nemana; nekubva pakutapirwa kuBhabhironi kusvikira kuna Kristu mazera gumi nemana.
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.
Zvino kuberekwa kwaJesu Kristu kwaiva kwakadai: Nokuti mai vake Maria vakati vatsidzirwa kuroorwa naJosefa, vasati vasangana vakaonekwa vava nemimba kubva kuMweya Mutsvene.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
Zvino Josefa murume wavo zvaakange ari wakarurama, asingadi kuvafumura, waida kuvaramba muchivande.
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.
Asi zvino wakati acharangarira zvinhu izvozvi, tarira, mutumwa waIshe wakaonekwa kwaari muchiroto achiti: Josefa, mwanakomana waDhavhidhi, usatya kuzvitorera Maria mukadzi wako; nokuti icho chakaumbwa maari ndecheMweya Mutsvene.
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.”
Uye achabereka Mwanakomana, uye uchatumidza zita rake Jesu, nokuti iye achaponesa vanhu vake pazvivi zvavo.
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Zvino zvese izvozvi zvakaitwa kuti zvizadziswe zvakarehwa naIshe kubudikidza nemuporofita achiti:
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”).
Tarira, mhandara ichava nemimba, igobereka Mwanakomana, uye vachatumidza zita rake Emanueri, ndokuti kana zvichishandurwa, Mwari anesu.
24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
Zvino Josefa amuka pahope akaita sezvakaraira mutumwa waIshe kwaari, akazvitorera mukadzi wake;
25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
uye haana kumuziva kusvikira azvara Mwanakomana wake wedangwe; akatumidza zita rake JESU.
