17 So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.
Woonse mazyalani kuzwa kuli Abbulahamu kusika kuli Devidi akali mazyalane ali ikkumi aane, kuzwa kuli Devidi kusika kukulonzegwa kwabo kutolwa ku Bbabiloni mazyalane ali ikkumi aane, alimwi kuzwa kukulonzegwa kutolwa ku Bbabbiloni kusikila kuli Kkilisito mazyalane ali kkumi aane.
18 Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.
Kuzyalwa kwa Jesu Kkilisito kwaka chitika munzila itobela. Banyina, Meli bakatangilwakuti bakwatwe a Jozefu, pesi kabatana kuswanana, wakajanika kuti wakali mintide kumuuya uusalala.
19 Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
Pesi Jozefu, mulumi wakwe, wakali mwalumi ululeme alimwi tewakayanda kumufwisya bweeme pe chaantanganana, aboobo wakayeya kumuleka chuumunizi akusiya chizuminano chabo.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.
Awo mpakali kuyeeya ezi zintu, mungelo wa Mwami wakaboneka kulinguwe muchiloto, waamba kuti, “Jozefu mwana wa Devidi, utayowi pe kubweza Meli kuti abe mwanakazi wako, nkambo oyo umintidwe mulinguwe umintidwe a Muuya Uusalala.
21 And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.
Uyozyala mwana mulombe, alimwi uyomuzika izina lyakuti ngu Jesu, nkambo uyofutula bantu bakwe kuzwa kuzibi zyabo.”
22 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:
Zyonseezi zyakachitika kuzuzikizya zyakaambwa a Mwami kwinda kubasinsiimi, wamba wati,
23 Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
“Amubone, ooyo musimbi uzominta uzotumbuka mwana mulombe, mpawo izina lyakwe bazomuzika kuti ngu Imanuwele” - elyo lipandululwa kutegwa, “Leza ulandiswe.
24 And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
Jozefu wakabuka kuzwa kukoona kwakwe wachita mbuli mungelo wa Mwami mbakamulayilila, mpawo wakamubweza waba mwanakazi wakwe.
25 And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Pesi takwepe nakamuziba kusika watumbuka mwana mulombe. Elyo wakamuzika izina kuti ngu Jesu.
