Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called the Messiah.
17 Ya mere, site nʼEbraham ruo na Devid, e nwere ọgbọ iri na anọ. Ma site nʼoge Devid ruo mgbe a dọọrọ ha nʼagha gaa Babilọn, e nwere ọgbọ iri na anọ. Sitekwanụ nʼoge ahụ ruo mgbe a mụrụ Kraịst bụkwa ọgbọ iri na anọ.
All the generations, therefore, are, from Abraham to David fourteen generations, and from David to the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations, and from the captivity of Babylon to the Messiah fourteen generations.
18 Otu a ka ọmụmụ Jisọs, onye a na-akpọ Kraịst siri dị: Nne ya Meri bụ onye e kwenyere na ọ ga-alụ Josef, ma tupu ha ebikọọ ọnụ a chọpụtara na Meri di ime site na Mmụọ Nsọ.
And the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
19 Ma Josef di ya bụ onye ezi omume, ọ chọghị imenye ya ihere, nʼihi ya, o zubere ịchụ ya na nzuzo.
And Joseph her husband was a righteous man, and unwilling to expose her: and he thought of putting her away privately.
20 Mgbe Josef nwechara mkpebi a, mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere ya na nrọ sị ya, “Josef nwa Devid, atụla egwu ịkpọrọ Meri ka ọ bụrụ nwunye gị, nʼihi na nwa ahụ ọ dị ime ya sitere nʼike Mmụọ Nsọ.
And while he contemplated these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, and said to him: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her, is from the Holy Spirit:
21 Ọ ga-amụkwa nwa nwoke, onye ị ga-akpọ aha ya Jisọs, nʼihi na ọ ga-azọpụta ndị nke ya site na mmehie ha.”
and she will bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he will resuscitate his people from their sins.
22 Ihe ndị a mere iji mezuo ihe ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ onye amụma ya sị,
Now all this that occurred, was to fulfill what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet:
23 “Lee, nwaagbọghọ ahụ na-amaghị nwoke ga-atụrụ ime, mụọ nwa nwoke. Ha ga-akpọ aha ya Ịmanụel” (nke bụ ma asụgharịa ya, “Chineke nọnyeere anyị”).
Behold, a virgin will conceive, and will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, Our God with us.
24 Mgbe Josef si nʼụra teta, o mere dịka mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu. Ọ kpọọrọ Meri ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
And when Joseph rose from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife.
25 Ma ha abụọ edinakọghị tutu ruo mgbe ọ mụsịrị nwa nwoke, onye ọ kpọrọ aha ya Jisọs.
And he knew her not, until she had borne her firstborn son, and called is name Jesus.
