16 Jacob of Joseph, the husband of Mary, who was the mother of Jesus, who is called “Christ”.
Jacob ta Joseph; Joseph sia Mary i pasal hi a, Mary sung pan Christ a kici Jesus hong suak hi.
17 So the whole number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen; from David to the Exile to Babylon fourteen; and from the Exile to Babylon to the Christ fourteen.
Tua ahikom Abraham pan in David dong khang sawm le khang li hi a; David pan in Babylon ah a ki khin dong khang sawm le khang li; Babylon a ki khin pan in Christ ciang dong khang sawm le khang li a hihi.
18 This is how Jesus Christ was born: His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but, before the marriage took place, she found herself to be pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ sua na thu sia hibang a hihi: A nu Mary sia Joseph in dokzu a piak sa hi a, a ki ngawm khop ma in Thaa Thiangtho taw nau ngil om hi.
19 Her husband, Joseph, was a just man and, since he did not want to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to put an end to their engagement privately.
Joseph sia thutang khat hi a, Mary mindaisak nuam ngawl ahikom, nol ku tu in ngaisun hi.
20 He had been thinking this over, when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. ‘Joseph, son of David,’ the angel said, ‘do not be afraid to take Mary for your wife, for her child has been conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Tabang a ngaisut laitak in, a mang sung ah vantungmi khat hong ki lang a, David suan Joseph awng, Mary na zi tu in teenpui tu lau heak in: banghangziam cile a naungil sia Tha Thiangtho taw a hihi.
21 She will give birth to a son; name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.’
Tapa nei tu a, tua tapa in a mite mawna pan ngum tu ahi man in, Jesus ci in a min na phuak tu hi: ci in vangtungmi in son hi.
22 All this happened in fulfilment of these words of the Lord through the prophet, where he says –
Hi te theampo Pathian in kamsang te tungtawn in a sonkholsa a tangtun na hi, kamsang i sonkhol na ah,
23 “The virgin will conceive and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel” – a word which means “God is with us.”
En vun, ngaknu thiangtho khat naungil om tu a, tapa khat nei tu hi, a min Immanuel kiphuak tu hi, Emmanuel a khiakna sia, Pathian eite taw hong om hi, ci nopna a hihi.
24 When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him.
Joseph a khanlaw ciang, Topa vantungmi i sawl bang in, Mary tenpui hi.
25 He made Mary his wife, but they did not sleep together before the birth of her son; and to this son he gave the name Jesus.
Ahihang taciil a nei dong luppui ngawl a, a min Jesus ci in phuak hi.
