Now of Jesus Christ the (origin *N(k)O*) thus was happening: At the pledging (for *k*) of the mother of Him Mary to Joseph, before than to come together by them she was found in womb [pregnancy] having out of [the] Spirit Holy.
19 Azɔ Yosef, ame si wodo eƒe ŋugbe na la nye nuteƒewɔla, eya ta medi be yeado ŋukpe Maria le dutoƒo o; eɖoe be yeagbee le adzame.
Joseph now the husband of her, righteous being and not willing her (to disgrace, *N(k)O*) he purposed secretly to send away her.
20 Ke esi wònɔ nu siawo ŋu bum la, mawudɔla aɖe ɖe eɖokui fiae le drɔ̃eƒe, yɔe gblɔ nɛ be, “Yosef, David ƒe vi, mègavɔ̃ srɔ̃wò Maria kpɔkplɔ be wòava nɔ gbɔwò o, elabena fu si wòfɔ la, Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la mee wòtso.
These things now when he was pondering behold an angel of [the] Lord in a dream appeared to him saying; Joseph son of David, not may you fear to receive Mary [as] the wife of you; that for in her having been conceived from [the] Spirit [which] is Holy.
21 Adzi ŋutsuvi, eye nàna ŋkɔe be Yesu, elabena eyae aɖe eƒe amewo tso woƒe nu vɔ̃wo me.”
She will bear then a son, and you will call the name of Him Jesus; He himself for will save the people of Him from the sins of them.
22 Esiawo katã va eme be, woawu Aƒetɔ ƒe nya si wògblɔ ɖi to Nyagblɔɖila dzi la nu be,
This then all has come to pass that may be fulfilled that [which] having been spoken by (the *k*) Lord through the prophet saying;
23 “Ɖetugbi si menya ŋutsu o la afɔ fu, eye wòadzi ŋutsuvi, eye woayɔ eƒe ŋkɔ be, Imanuel” (si gɔmee nye, “Mawu li kpli mí”).
Behold the virgin in womb [pregnancy] will have and she will bear a son, and they will call the name of Him Immanuel, which is being translated; With us God.
24 Esi Yosef nyɔ la, ewɔ ɖe mawudɔla la ƒe gbe dzi, eye wòyi ɖakplɔ Maria va eƒe aƒe mee abe srɔ̃a ene.
(Having been awoken *N(k)O*) then Joseph from the sleep he did as he commanded him the angel of [the] Lord; and received the wife of him
25 Ke Yosef mede asi eŋu o, va se ɖe esime wòdzi viŋutsuvi la, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Yesu.
and not he was knowing her until that she had brought forth (the *k*) a son (of her firstborn, *K*) and (s)he called the name of Him Jesus.
