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].
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo wọ́n jẹ́ ìran mẹ́rìnlá láti orí Abrahamu dé orí Dafidi, ìran mẹ́rìnlá á láti orí Dafidi títí dé ìkólọ sí Babeli, àti ìran mẹ́rìnlá láti ìkólọ títí dé orí Kristi.
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.
Bí a ṣe bí Jesu Kristi nìyí, ní àkókò ti àdéhùn ìgbéyàwó ti parí láàrín Maria ìyá rẹ̀ àti Josẹfu, ṣùgbọ́n kí wọn tó pàdé, a rí i ó lóyún láti ọwọ́ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
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.
Nítorí Josẹfu ọkọ rẹ̀ tí í ṣe olóòtítọ́ ènìyàn kò fẹ́ dójútì í ní gbangba, ó ní èrò láti kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀ ní ìkọ̀kọ̀.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó ro èrò yìí tán, angẹli Olúwa yọ sí i ní ojú àlá, ó wí pé, “Josẹfu, ọmọ Dafidi, má fòyà láti fi Maria ṣe aya rẹ, nítorí oyún tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ láti ọwọ́ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ ni.
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’].”
Òun yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin, ìwọ yóò sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jesu, nítorí òun ni yóò gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ là kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.”
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:
Gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí sì ṣẹ láti mú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ṣẹ èyí tí a sọ láti ẹnu wòlíì rẹ̀ wá pé:
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’.
“Wúńdíá kan yóò lóyún, yóò sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, yóò sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Emmanueli,” (èyí tí ó túmọ̀ sí “Ọlọ́run wà pẹ̀lú wa”).
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.
Nígbà tí Josẹfu jí lójú oorun rẹ̀, òun ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí angẹli Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un. Ó mú Maria wá sílé rẹ̀ ní aya.
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son. And [Joseph] named him Jesus.
Ṣùgbọ́n òun kò mọ̀ ọ́n títí tí ó fi bí ọmọkùnrin, òun sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jesu.
