17 Kobanda na Abrayami kino na Davidi, elekaki bikeke zomi na minei; kobanda na Davidi kino na tango oyo bana ya Isalaele bakendeki na bowumbu, na Babiloni, elekaki lisusu bikeke zomi na minei; mpe kobanda na bowumbu, na Babiloni, kino na Klisto, elekaki lisusu bikeke zomi na minei.
So in all there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian resettlement, and fourteen generations from the Babylonian resettlement to the Christ.
18 Tala ndenge nini Yesu-Klisto abotamaki: Mari, mama na Ye, azalaki mobandami ya libala na Jozefi; kasi liboso ete bavanda ndako moko, Mari akomaki na zemi na nguya ya Molimo Mosantu.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 Jozefi, mobandami na ye ya libala, azalaki moto ya sembo. Boye, lokola Jozefi alingaki te koyokisa Mari soni na miso ya bato, azwaki mokano ya koboya Mari na kimia.
Because her husband Joseph was a righteous man and did not want to shame her publicly, he intended to send her away privately.
20 Wana Jozefi azalaki kokanisa makambo yango, anjelu na Nkolo abimelaki ye kati na ndoto mpe alobaki na ye: « Jozefi, mokitani ya Davidi, kobanga te kobala Mari; pamba te zemi oyo azali na yango ewuti na Molimo Mosantu.
But as he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as yoʋr wife, for the child that is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 Akobota mwana mobali mpe okopesa Ye kombo Yesu, pamba te akobikisa bato na Ye na masumu na bango. »
She will give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
22 Makambo wana nyonso esalemaki mpo na kokokisa maloba oyo Nkolo alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli:
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
23 « Elenge mwasi oyo ayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te akokoma na zemi mpe akobota mwana mobali, bongo bakopesa Ye kombo Emanwele oyo elingi koloba: Nzambe elongo na biso. »
“Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”).
24 Tango Jozefi alamukaki, asalaki makambo oyo anjelu na Nkolo atindaki ye kosala mpe azwaki Mari lokola mwasi na ye.
When Joseph awoke from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him. He took his wife
25 Kasi Jozefi asangisaki nzoto te na Mari kino tango Mari abotaki mwana mobali; mpe Jozefi apesaki Ye kombo Yesu.
but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And he named him Jesus.
