18 The birth of Jesus Christ happened in the following way. His mother, Mary, was engaged to marry Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant by 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 Her husband, Joseph, was a righteous man, and he did not want to disgrace her publicly. So he decided to secretly end his engagement with her.
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 As he thought about these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, because the one who is conceived in her is conceived by 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 She will give birth to 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 All this happened to fulfill what 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 give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel”—which means, “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 Joseph woke up from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and he took her as his wife.
Erile Josefa a tsoga, a dira jaaka moengele a mo laetse, a isa Maria gae go nna mosadi wa gagwe.
25 But he did not have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. Then 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.”
