17 [As you can calculate, I have grouped Jesus’] ancestors [as follows: ] There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when] Abraham [lived] to [the time when King] David [lived]. There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when] David [lived] to [the time when] the [Israelites were taken] {[the Babylonian army took the Israelites]} away to Babylon. There was [a succession of] 14 of them from [the time when the Israelites were taken] {[the Babylonian army took the Israelites]} away to Babylon until [the time when] the Messiah [was born].
Lino, kuhuma kwa Abulahamu kufika kwa ntwa uDavidi kwefilyale ifisina kijigho na fine. Kange, kuhuma pa Davidi kufila unsiki ghuno aVaisilaeli vitwalua ku vuhesia ku Babeli, kwefilyale ifisina ifingi kijigho n a fine. Kange, kuhuma unsiki ghuno vitwalua ku Babeli kuhanga kufika unsiki ye iholua uKilisite, kwefilyale ifisina ifingi kijigho na fine.
18 This is [the account of what happened just before] Jesus Christ was born. Mary, his mother, {had publicly promised Joseph that she would marry him} had been publicly promised to marry Joseph. Before they began to sleep together, [Mary] realized that she was pregnant. [It was the power of] the Holy Spirit that had caused her to become pregnant.
Kuholua kwa Yesu Kilisite kulyale ndiiki. Unguna jonop ilitavua lyake ghwe Maliya, alyalimilue nu Yosefu. Neke ye akyale kutolua alyavoniike kuuti ali nu vukunue ku ngufu sa Mhepo uMwimike.
19 Joseph, her [future] husband, was a man who obeyed God’s commands. [One of those commands was that men must divorce women who had acted immorally. So when Joseph learned that Mary was pregnant, he assumed that she was pregnant as a result of her acting immorally]. So he decided to break the engagement. But because he did not want to shame her publicly, he decided to do it privately.
Ulwakuva uYosefu juno alyamulimiile uMaliya alyale mugholofu pamaso gha Nguluve, naakalondagha kuuti ankosie isoni uMaliya. Pe akalamula pikumuleka kisyefu.
20 While he was seriously considering this, much to his surprise, in a dream he saw an angel whom the Lord [had sent]. The angel said, “Joseph, descendant of [King] David, do not be afraid that [you(sg) would be doing wrong if you(sg) would marry] Mary. Instead, [begin to treat her] as your wife, because the Holy Spirit, [not a man], has caused her to be pregnant.
Ye alamwile uluo, unyamhola ghwa mtwa uNguluve akam'bonekela mu njosi, akam'buula akati, “Ghwe Yosefu, ghwe mhuma mu kisina ikya ntwa uDavidi, uleke pikwoghopa pikuntoola uMaliya, uLwakuva uvukunue vuno ali navwo, apelilue mu ngufu sa Mhepo uMwimike.
21 She will give birth to a son. Since it is he who will cause that his people will be saved from [the guilt of] their having sinned, name [the baby] Jesus, [which means ‘the Lord saves people’].”
Neke ipaapa umwana un'diimi, ukumpeela ilitavua ili Yesu, ulwakuva ilikuvapokagha avaanhu vaake mu nyivi saave.”
22 All this happened as a result of what the Lord told the prophet [Isaiah to write long ago about what was going to happen]. This is what Isaiah wrote:
Sooni isio siliyavombiike enendikio kukwilanisia ilisio lino uMutwa alyajovile kukilila um'bili ghwake kuuti, “
23 “Listen, a virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will call him Emmanuel.” Emmanuel means ‘God is with us’.
Lolagha! Umhinja juno naammanyile umughoosi, iiva nu vukunue, ipaapa umwana un'diimi! pe vikumpeela umwana ujuo ilitavua ili Manueli.” Umuluvo ghwa litavua ilio kwekuti, “UNguluve ali palikimo nusue.”
24 When Joseph got up from sleep, he did what the angel whom the Lord [had sent] commanded him to do. He took [Mary] home to be his wife.
Yosefu akasisimuka, akavomba ndavule unyamhola ghwa Mutwa vule am'bulile, akantoola uMaliya kuuva n'dala ghwake.
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
Looli naakaghelile kughona naghwo kuhanga usinki ghuno uMaliya ipaapa umwana un'diimi. Pe uYosefu akampeela umwana ujuo ilitavua ili Yesu.
