Tse ke ditshika di le lesome le metso e le mene mo ditshikeng tse di simololang ka Aberahame go tla go fitlha mo go Kgosi Dafide; le tse di lesome le bone go simolola ka nako ya ga Kgosi Dafide go ya nakong ya go gapelwa kwa Babelona; le tse di lesome le bone go simolola ka nako eo go tla go fitlha mo go Keresete.
18 And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: for His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,
A ke mabaka a boammaaruri a a amanang le botsalo jwa ga Jesu Keresete: Marea mmaagwe, o ne a beeletswe go nyalwa ke Josefa. Mme ya re a sa ntse a le kgarebana, a ithwala ga Mowa o o boitshepo.
19 and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.
Mme Josefa mmeeledi wa gagwe ka a le mosiami, a ikaelela go senya tsholofetso ka tidimalo ka a ne a sa rate go mmaa mo mpepeneneng go mo tlhabisa ditlhong.
20 And on his thinking of these things, behold, a messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you may not fear to receive your wife Mary, for that which was begotten in her is of [the] Holy Spirit,
Mme ya re a sa ntse a thantse a akanya ka ga selo se, a thulamela, a lora, mme a bona moengele a eme fa go ene a mo raya a re, “Josefa, morwa Dafide, se etsaetsege go tsaya Marea jaaka mosadi wa gago ka gore ngwana yo o mo rweleng o mo ithwele ka Mowa o o Boitshepo.”
21 and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Mme o tlaa tshola ngwana wa mosimane, mme o tlaa mo raya leina o re Jesu (Ke gore “Mmoloki”). Ka gore o tlaa golola batho ba gagwe mo dibeng tsa bone.
22 And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
Mo go tlaa diragatsa molaetsa wa Modimo o o kileng wa anamisiwa ke baporofiti ba one, ba re,
23 “Behold, the virgin will conceive, and she will bring forth a Son, and they will call His Name Emmanuel,” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
“Reetsang! Kgarebana e tlaa ithwala ngwana! E tlaa tshola ngwana wa mosimane, mme o tlaa bidiwa ‘Imanuele’.” (Ke gore “Modimo o na le rona”) fa go tlhalosiwa.
24 And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received his wife,
Erile Josefa a tsoga, a dira jaaka moengele a mo laetse, a isa Maria gae go nna mosadi wa gagwe.
25 and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
Mme a nna a ntse a le kgarebana go fitlhelela morwawe a tsholwa mme Josefa a mo raya leina a re “Jesu.”
