17 Ouinge fil nukewa kacl Abraham me nwe kacl David oasr fil singoul akosr, ac kacl David me nwe ke sruoh in Babylon oasr fil singoul akosr, ac tukun sruoh in Babylon me nwe ke isusla lun Messiah oasr pac fil singoul akosr.
Therefore all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; from David unto the captivity of Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the captivity of Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
18 Pa inge luman isusla lun Jesus Christ. Mary, nina kien Jesus, el tuh ako nu sel Joseph, tusruktu meet liki eltal ac payukyak uh, Mary el etauk lah el pitutu ke Ngun Mutal.
The birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother Mary, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, was found having gestation from the Holy Ghost.
19 Joseph el sie mwet suwoswos, tusruktu el tia lungse akmwekinyal Mary ye mutun mwet uh, ke sripa se inge el suk elan tari sel in lukma.
And Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wishing to expose her publicly, determined to send her away secretly.
20 Ke el srakna nunku ma inge, sie lipufan lun Leum sikyang nu sel in sie mweme ac fahk, “Joseph, fita lal David, nimet kom sangeng in eisal Mary tuh elan mutan kiom. El pitutuyak ke Ngun Mutal.
And he meditating on these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying; Joseph, son of David, do not fear to receive Mary thy wife; for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit;
21 El ac fah oswela sie wen, ac kom fah sang inel Jesus — mweyen El ac molela mwet lal liki ma koluk lalos.”
she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for He will save His people from their sins.
22 Ma inge nukewa sikyak tuh in akpwayeye kas ma Leum El tuh fahkak ke oalin mwet palu, su fahk,
And all this took place in order that the Word, having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying;
23 “Sie mutan fusr su soenna etu mwet, ac fah pitutuyak ac oswela sie wen, su ac fah pangpang Immanuel” (kalmac pa “God El oasr yorosr”).
Behold, the virgin shall have gestation and bring forth a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel, which is interpreted, God is with us.
24 Ouinge ke Joseph el asmakla, el eisal Mary tuh elan mutan kial, oana ke lipufan lun Leum tuh fahk nu sel.
And Joseph rising from sleep did as the angel of the Lord commanded him;
25 Tusruktu wangin osun laltal in mano meet liki Mary el oswela wen se natul ah. Ac Joseph el sang inel Jesus.
and he took his wife to himself, and did not know her until she brought forth a son, and called his name Jesus.
