Kwavi na viveleku kumi na mcheche kuhuma Ibulahimu mbaka Daudi, vivelekelu kumi na mcheche kuhuma Daudi mbaka Vayawudi pavatoliwi uvanda wa ku Babeli, viveleku kumi na mcheche kuhuma uvanda mbaka kuvelekewa kwa Kilisitu.
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,
Chenichi ndi cheavelekiwi Yesu Kilisitu. Maliya nyina wa Yesu, achumbiwi na Yosefu. Nambu vakona vangatama ngati mngwana na mdala, Maliya apatili kuvya na ndumbu kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
19 and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to make her an example, did wish privately to send her away.
Ndava Yosefu mngwana wa Maliya avi mundu mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga aganili lepi kumpela soni pavandu ndi aholalili kumleka chamfiyu.
20 And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten [is] of the Holy Spirit,
Peavi akona ihololela lijambu lenilo, Mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga amuhumali munjozi na kumjovela, “Yosefu, mwana wa Daudi, ukotoka kuyogopa kumtola Maliya avya mdala waku, muni ndumbu yeavinayu apatili kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
21 and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.'
Yati iveleka mwana mgosi hinu veve yati ukumpela liina Yesu ndava mwenuyu yati akuvasangula vandu kuhuma kumbudila Chapanga wavi.”
22 And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Mambu goha ago gahumalili muni kutimilisa malovi ga Bambu geajovili munjila ya mlota wa Chapanga,
23 'Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted 'With us [he is] God.'
“Yuwanila! Kamwali yati ivya na ndumbu, yati iveleka mwana mgosi, na veve yati ukumpela liina Emanueli.” Mana yaki “Chapanga avi pamonga na tete.”
24 And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,
Ndi Yosefu peayumwiki mulugono akitili ngati mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga cheamjovili, akamtola mdala waki na kuhamba nayu kunyumba yaki.
25 and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
Nambu agonili nayu lepi mbaka Maliya peamveliki mwana mgosi, namwene Yosefu ampeli liina Yesu.
