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 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,
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 and her husband Joseph being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, resolved to send her away privately.
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 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,
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 and she will bring forth a Son, and you will call His Name Jesus, for 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 And all this has come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, saying,
Izo zonse zi va pangahali kwi zuziliza chiva wambiwa kwa Simwine cha muporofita, nati,
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.”
“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 And Joseph, having risen from sleep, did as the messenger of the LORD directed him, and received 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 and did not know her until she brought forth her Son—the firstborn, and he called His Name Jesus.
Kono kana aba lali naye konji ha zala mwana' mushisu. Mi ava mu sumpisi izina lya Jesu.
