So the whole number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen; from David to the Exile to Babylon fourteen; and from the Exile to Babylon to the Christ fourteen.
18 Jisasi Kraisi'ma fore hu'neana amanahu hu'ne, Agri nerera Mariana, Josefente huhampri ante'nageno, nomago hu'ne omani'nakeno, Ruotge Avamu'mo rimpafi emanigeno, amu'ene hu'nege'za kefore hu'naze.
The birth of Jesus Christ took place as follows: His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but, before the marriage took place, she found herself to be with child by the power of the Holy Spirit.
19 Ana hazageno, agri neve Josefe'a fatgo ne' mani'negu, Mariana azeri agaze hu'zanku, oku'a a' atrenaku agu'agesa antahi'ne.
Her husband, Joseph, was a religious man and, being unwilling to expose her to contempt, resolved to put an end to their betrothal privately.
20 Hianagi ana antahintahima retro nehigeno'a, mago Ramofo ankeromo ava'nafi eno anage huno asmi'ne, Josefe, Deviti nemofoge, korera osunka Mariana aka'agi avro, na'ankure agri rimpafima mani'neana, Ruotge Avamu'mofo mofavre mani'ne.
He had been dwelling upon this, when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary for your wife, for her child has been conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
21 Ne'mofavre kasentegahianki, ana mofavremofo agi'a, Jisasi'e hunka agi'a antemio, na'ankure Agra vahe'amokizmi kumi'zmifinti zamaza hugahie.
She shall give birth to a son; and you shall give him the name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”
22 Ama ana maka'zama efore hu'neana, korapa Ra Anumzamo kasnampa ne'te ke hunte'nea zamo nena'a efore hu'ne.
All this happened in fulfilment of these words of the Lord in the Prophet, where he says —
23 Keho vene omani'nea a'mo mofavre amu'ene huno, Ne'mofavre kasentegahie, ana hanige'za zamagra Agri Agi'a Imanueli'e hugahaze, ana agima eri rukrahe haniana, Anumzamo tagrane mani'ne hu'ne. (Ais 7:14)
‘Behold! the virgin shall be with child and shall give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel’ — a word which means ‘God is with us.’
24 Mase'nefinti Josefe'a otino Ramofo ankeromo asmino hunte'nea kante anteno, Mariana a' avare'ne.
When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him.
25 Hianagi anteno omaseno amne kegava hu'negeno, ne'mofavre kasentegeno, Josefe'a, Jisasi'e huno agi'a ante'ne.
He made Mary his wife, but did not live with her as her husband until after the birth of her son; and to this son he gave the name Jesus.
