以下为弥赛亚——即耶稣基督降生的过程:他的母亲玛利亚被许配给约瑟,但在同房之前,玛利亚就因圣灵受孕。
19 Nake Jusufu mũthuuri wake tondũ aarĩ mũndũ mũthingu na ndangĩendire kũmũconorithia kũrĩ andũ, agĩĩciiria amũtige na hitho.
她的丈夫约瑟生性善良,不愿张扬此事让她受尽羞辱,于是打算暗地将她休掉。
20 No thuutha wa gwĩciiria ũndũ ũcio, mũraika wa Mwathani akĩmuumĩrĩra kĩroto-inĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jusufu, mũrũ wa Daudi, ndũkae gwĩtigĩra kũhikia Mariamu atuĩke mũtumia waku, tondũ nda ĩyo arĩ nayo nĩ ya Roho Mũtheru.
就在他思量此事之时,主派来天使进入他的梦境,对他说:“大卫之子约瑟,不要担心,迎娶你的妻子玛利亚,因她所孕育乃源于圣灵。
21 Nĩagaciara kahĩĩ, nawe nĩũgagatua Jesũ, tondũ nĩwe ũkaahonokia andũ ake kuuma mehia-inĩ mao.”
她将诞下一子,请为其起名耶稣,他将会把苍生从罪恶之中拯救出来。”
22 Na rĩrĩ, maũndũ macio mothe meekĩkire nĩguo ũrĩa Mwathani aarĩtie na kanua ka mũnabii ũhinge, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ,
(这一切印证了主通过先知给出的预言:

将有处女怀孕生子,世人将称他为马内利 即 “上帝与我们同在”之意)。
24 Rĩrĩa Jusufu ookĩrire, agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa mũraika wa Mwathani aamwathĩte, nake akĩinũkia Mariamu gwake mũciĩ, agĩtuĩka mũtumia wake.
