17 Lan wani, lan cili Abalahama, ki tuoni Dafiid, li tie piiga n nifiima na, lan taa Dafiid ki tuoni Babiloni yonbidi, li mo tie piiga n nifiima na, ki taa Babiloni yonbdi hali kiristu li mo tie piiga n nifiima na.
In all, then, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ.
18 Jesu kiristu ń mali maama n ne. Maari, o naá bo tie Josef cikpenga i, ki punbi U Tienu Foŋanma paalu po, ke bi dá ki taani yeni bi yaba (ki dá ki kuni ti cikpendi)
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 O calo, Josef ń bo tie nitegnka, kaa bua ke o fiagi o yeni, o den jagi ke wan wuoni, ki yie o ŋasiili nni.
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly.
20 Wan taa lan ya maalma yeni, O Diedo maleki ń legdi o po ti dangdi nni, ki maadi o: Dafiid bijua Josef, da jie yeni ŋan kuani a denpua Maari kelima, wan punbi ya biga ne ñani U Tienu Foŋanma kani i.
But after he had pondered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 O ba mali bonjaga, ŋan yini o Jesu; wani n ba faabi o buolu u tuonbiidi po.
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”
22 Ne kuli tieni ke O Diedo ń bo cedi ke bi sawalpuaba tuodi ki waani yaali ń tieni ki dudi:
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23 I ba la powandiali (ya jifaano dá ki bani ja) ba punbi, ki mali bonjaga, ban yini o Emanuyel, li niima nni tie U Tienu ye yeni ti.
“Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 Josef ń den findi, o den tieni nani O Diedo maleki ń waani o yaala, o den ga o denpua ke bi taani ki ye.
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and embraced Mary as his wife.
25 Ama, o den ki taani yeni o hali ke o ban mali bonjaga ke o yini o Jesu.
But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a Son. And he gave Him the name Jesus.
