Che Yakobo ŵammeleche che Yusufu, ŵankwawo che Maliamu achikulugwe Che Yesu ŵakuŵilanjikwa Kilisito Jwakuwombola.
17 And so, all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the transmigration of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the transmigration of Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.
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 Now the procreation of the Christ occurred in this way. After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they lived together, she was found to have conceived in her womb by 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 Then Joseph, her husband, since he was just and was not willing to hand her over, preferred to send her away secretly.
Nombe che Yusufu ŵankwakwe pakuŵa ŵaliji mundu jwambone paujo pa Akunnungu nganasaka kwachembulusya che Maliamu pa ŵandu, ŵasachile kwaleka pangaimanyilila ŵandu.
20 But while thinking over these things, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to accept Mary as your wife. For what has been formed in her is of 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 And she shall give birth to a son. And you shall call his name JESUS. For he shall accomplish the salvation of his people from their sins.”
Chaligopole mwanache jwannume nomwe chimwape liina lyakwe Che Yesu, pakuŵa jwelejo ni juchiŵakulupusye ŵandu ŵakwe mu sambi syao.”
22 Now all this occurred in order to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
Nipele yoseyo yakopochele kuti liŵe isyene, liloŵe lya Ambuje liŵaŵechete kwa litala lya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu achitiji,
23 “Behold, a virgin shall conceive in her womb, and she shall give birth to a son. And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which means: God is with us.”
“Mwalimwalipe chaŵe jwapachiilu, chaligopole mwanache jwannume, nombewo chachaŵilanga Emanueli” malumbo gakwe, “Akunnungu ali pamo ni uwe.”
24 Then Joseph, arising from sleep, did just as the Angel of the Lord had instructed him, and he accepted her as his wife.
Nombe che Yusufu paŵajimwiche, ŵatesile ilaila iŵatite pakusala katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje, ŵanjigele che Maliamu ŵankwawo ni kwaulanawo kumangwao.
25 And he knew her not, yet she bore her son, the firstborn. And he called his name JESUS.
Nambo nganawonegana nawo mpaka che Maliamu paŵaligopwele mwanache jwannume. Nombe che Yusufu ŵampele liina lyakwe Che Yesu.
